Zhao Tianji winked at the deputy general, asking him to hurry and invite Master Lei over. The deputy general was shocked when Zhao Tianji called Ye Zhen 'Heavenly Concubine'. It took him a long time to react. No wonder this woman dared to call the emperor's name. She was the famous Heavenly Concubine. Aware of Zhao Tianji's signal, he hurried in the direction of the tent.
"Are you here to deliver medicine or to kill?" Ye Zhen was furious and did not look kindly at Zhao Tianji.
"I'm really here to deliver medicine." Zhao Tianji cried aggrievedly, "Master Huangfu left a lot of medicinal materials with me. When I heard that there was an epidemic here, Miaomiao asked me to donate the medicine to the imperial court. She thought that Master Huangfu would not mind. I had just arrived here, and before I delivered the medicine, I heard …"
Ye Zhen looked at his embarrassed face and softened her tone. "Shui Yichen wants to slaughter the city. Is there no one in the imperial court to stop him?"
Zhao Tianji smiled bitterly. He was really wronged. "Yao Yao, I am not qualified to attend the morning court. In Yuan Kingdom, I am just an imperial merchant."
"You are now the emperor's son-in-law." Ye Zhen snorted coldly.
"That makes no difference." Zhao Tianji whispered. Shui Yichen wanted him to become an official when he was not the emperor, but who was he? He was just a merchant. How could he be an official? Even if he was now the emperor's son-in-law, he did not want to participate in the affairs of the imperial court.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "Has no one tried to persuade Shui Yichen?"
Zhao Tianji whispered, "How can no one persuade him? It's just that the epidemic is too serious. Many imperial doctors have been sent here, but they are all infected. The emperor can't do anything about it."
"It's not that he can't do anything. He just chose the most ruthless method." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Tianji asked.
Ye Zhen glared at him. "What do you think?"
Zhao Tianji touched his nose. "But what can you do? The emperor has ordered that tomorrow …"
"I will not allow it." Ye Zhen said coldly.
"Yaoyao …" Zhao Tianji felt helpless. He also did not want to see such a cruel thing happen. But the imperial edict had already been issued, and the city gate had already been closed. As long as the time came and the epidemic did not improve, the entire Luopei City would be burned down.
"Lord Lei is here." The deputy general who had left just now returned, followed by Ye Zhen's former confidant, Lei Yingchun.
Lei Yingchun was one of Ye Yiqing's men. When Ye Zhen returned to the capital this time, he was not there. Just now, when he heard the deputy general's report, he was so excited that he rushed over immediately. From afar, he saw the woman standing in the morning light. She was still the same as he remembered. She was indeed the Heavenly Princess. "Miss!"
Ye Zhen turned around and looked at Lei Yingchun indifferently. "Lord Lei, I trust you have been well since we last met."
"Thanks to Miss, everything is fine." Lei Yingchun said. He recognized the man standing beside Ye Zhen as Mo Rongzhan and was shocked. Mo Rongzhan's abandonment of the throne was already known to the world. Even Ye Zhen was no longer the Heavenly Princess. How could they appear here?
"Are you ordered to slaughter the city?" Ye Zhen did not exchange unnecessary greetings with Lei Yingchun. There was no time.
The smile on Lei Yingchun's face froze. He looked at Ye Zhen sternly. "Miss, if we don't do this, the epidemic will become more and more serious, and more people will die."
"Are you trying to save the people inside? Just because you are afraid, you want them to die? "Ye Zhen asked coldly.
"It's not that we haven't tried, but even the imperial doctors are helpless." Lei Yingchun said awkwardly. He didn't want to be the one to slaughter the city, but he had no choice.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. Lei Yingchun and Zhao Tianji were the same. They would not resist Shui Yichen. "Open the gate, I want to go in."
Lei Yingchun's face changed. "What? No, miss, there are all patients inside. It's too dangerous for you to go in. Besides, you can't save so many people. "
"Even if I can't save the whole city, I can save ten people." Ye Zhen said coldly. "Open the gate, I want to go in."
"Miss, it's too dangerous!" Lei Yingchun almost knelt down. "I can't let you in."
Ye Zhen looked down at him. "You can't stop me, Lord Lei."
Hearing that Ye Zhen could call Lord Lei out, Lei Yingchun knelt in front of her. "Miss, the people in the city are hopeless. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the emperor will not order a massacre. If you go in, even if you are not infected with the epidemic, you will …"
"Then tell Shui Yichen to kill me." Ye Rou said coldly.
How could it be! Shui Yichen could not kill her.
"If you dare not tell Shui Yichen, then let me in. Give me three days. If the epidemic does not improve, I will not stop you from slaughtering the city." Ye Zhen said.
Lei Yingchun knew that no matter what he said, he could not persuade Ye Zhen. Now, he could only delay for time.
"Don't try to delay me." Ye Zhen glanced at him and turned to Zhao Tianji. "Go get your medicine and come with me to the city."
"I … I have to go in too?" Zhao Tianji was dumbfounded.
Ye Zhen turned and walked outside the city gate. "Where are the herbs? Go and bring them."
Zhao Tianji looked at Lei Yingchun and saw him shaking his head gently. He frowned at Ye Zhen, remembering the first time he saw her.
At that time, his legs were paralyzed. It was she who cured them. Her medical skills were the best he had ever seen.
Maybe she could really cure the people inside.
"I'll bring the herbs." Zhao Tianji said.
Since Ye Zhen could enter the city with Mo Rongzhan, she must have a way to prevent herself from being infected with the plague.
Lei Yingchun glared at Zhao Tianji, angry that he listened to Ye Zhen's words.
"Lord Lei, do you want to open the city gate yourself, or shall I open it?" Ye Zhen asked lightly.
"You … are you just going to watch Miss make trouble?" Lei Yingchun asked Mo Rongzhan anxiously.
"She is not making trouble." Mo Rongzhan replied indifferently.
Lei Yingchun choked. If this is not making trouble, then what is?
"Miss …" Lei Yingchun called out to Ye Zhen.
"Tell Shui Yichen that killing is not the way to prevent death." Ye Zhen said expressionlessly. "I hope he won't make me regret it."
Zhao Tianji drove a carriage and came quickly.
Seeing that Lei Yingchun still refused to open the city gate, Ye Zhen took a few steps back. A breeze blew under her feet. She stepped on the wall, leaped over the eaves and vaulted over the wall, and opened the gate herself.
Lei Yingchun's eyes widened and he looked at the scene incredulously.
"When did Miss learn such a powerful qinggong?" Lei Yingchun asked in shock.
Zhao Tianji was stunned for a long time. It was Ye Zhen who reminded him that he drove the carriage into the city. "You … you can actually cross the wall?"
