Royal Capital, Royal Palace.
Shui Yichen had been in a bad mood for the past few days. The disaster happened out of nowhere and he was caught off guard. In the end, he still had to give the order to massacre the entire city. It was hard for him not to suspect that this was a punishment from the heavens and that he did not deserve to rule Yuan Country.
"Your Majesty, an urgent memorial was sent from Luo Mei City." A palace servant rushed in with the memorial in his hand and knelt in front of Shui Yichen.
Had the entire city been massacred?
"Bring it up," Shui Yichen said indifferently.
The palace servant brought the memorial to Shui Yichen. "Your Majesty …"
Shui Yichen's expression was gloomy. His fingers were a little stiff as he opened the memorial and read the contents word by word.
Towards the end, his eyes became increasingly gloomy.
Bang!
He slammed the memorial on the table. Lu Yaoyao! She actually ran to Luo Mei City, was she not afraid of death?
All the servants in the hall knelt down.
"Pass down my order, we are going to Luo Mei City." Shui Yichen coldly said.
Shen Luoyang and the cabinet ministers knew about this and quickly entered the palace to seek an audience with Shui Yichen.
Shui Yichen had already changed into casual clothes and was about to leave the palace for Luo Mei City.
"Your Majesty, why are you going to Luo Mei City? The epidemic over there is very serious, you are a precious person, you must not go there. "Cabinet Minister Luo Li knelt in front of Shui Yichen and shouted.
"Yes, Your Majesty, even if Luo Mei City is already … but the epidemic has not completely subsided, we can't take the risk." Shen Luoyang said.
Shui Yichen glanced at them indifferently. "Luo Mei City is still here."
He had already ordered that Lei Yingchun was not allowed to burn the city.
Now that Lu Yaoyao was in the city, how could he do anything to her?
Luo Li was taken aback. "Lei Yingchun is defying the decree?"
"Yaoyao is in the city," said Shui Yichen in a low voice.
What? Heavenly Consort? Luo Li asked curiously, "Why is the Heavenly Consort in Luo Mei City?"
Shen Luoyang was also stunned. The Heavenly Consort was in Luo Mei City?
"Why is the Heavenly Concubine in Luo Mei City? Didn't she abdicate? Why are you still staying in Yuan Country? " Luo Li couldn't help but doubt Ye Zhen's intentions. Did she want to use this opportunity to regain the hearts of the people?
Shui Yichen understood the meaning behind Luo Li's words and angrily said, "She's a soft-hearted person. She definitely knows about the news of Tu Cheng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared in Luo Mei City."
"Your Majesty, are you thinking of going to Falling Plum City to look for Lu Yaoyao?" Luo Li asked.
"Yes," Shui Yichen said coldly.
Luo Li cried out in alarm, "Your Majesty, the people in Luo Mei City are all infected, you must not go near them."
Shui Yichen acted as if he hadn't heard Luo Li's words and was already striding out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Luo Li chased after him.
"There is no need to say anymore, we must go to Luo Mei City." Shui Yichen coldly said.
Luo Li still wanted to say something, but Shen Luoyang had already grabbed his hand, indicating that there was no need for him to continue persuading the emperor. The emperor would never listen to him.
"Your Majesty, this subject will go to Luo Mei City with you." Shen Luoyang said to Shui Yichen.
"No need." Shui Yichen waved his hand. He had already leaped onto the steed that he had prepared beforehand and galloped out of the city with several shadow guards following behind him.
Luo Li turned to look at Shen Luoyang. "General Shen, why didn't you dissuade the emperor? You know what the situation in Luo Mei City is now. "
"With the Heavenly Concubine there, the emperor will not listen to persuasion." Shen Luoyang said in a low voice. "It's useless to say more now. Let's hurry and find the imperial physician."
"Didn't they say that the Heavenly Concubine has returned to the Jin Nation? Why would she appear in Luo Mei City? She has already abdicated the throne to the emperor. Even if something happens to the Yuan Nation, it has nothing to do with her. " Although Luo Li followed Ye Zhen all the way from the Hua Nation to the Yuan Nation, the person he was now loyal to was Shui Yichen.
It was hard for him not to suspect that Lu Yaoyao's move was to win the hearts of the people of Yuan Nation.
"You underestimate the Heavenly Concubine." Shen Luoyang glanced at Luo Li. He had spent more time with Lu Yaoyao than Luo Li and understood what kind of person the Heavenly Concubine was. If she really wanted the Yuan Nation, she would not have abdicated so resolutely.
The Heavenly Concubine's appearance in Luo Mei City was mostly because she wanted to save people.
"What can the emperor do even if he goes?" Luo Li vaguely knew what Shui Yichen was thinking. If the Heavenly Consort had not married Mo Rongzhan, he would have felt that the Heavenly Consort and Shui Yichen were a match made in heaven. However, fate made fools of people, and there was no such beautiful fate.
"I only hope that the Heavenly Concubine … can really cure the people of Luo Mei City." Shen Luoyang whispered.
…
…
There were more than two hundred people in Luo Mei City, and thirty-five people had died. Mo Rongzhan and Zhao Tianji carried the dead to a small square, moved firewood, and burned the bodies. Ye Zhen took the others to see if their illness was different from the other epidemics in He 'an Town.
"It's going to be dark soon." A medicine boy who was boiling medicine said nervously.
"Hurry up and boil the medicine." The young doctor shouted.
The medicine boy's face was a little pale. "I heard that Luo Mei City will be burned after dark. Can we still get out alive?"
"Don't scare others." Ye Zhen did not raise her head. "Lei Yingchun will not dare to burn the city. We still have two and a half days."
"Two and a half days …" The medicine boy's voice trembled a little. "Can two and a half days cure so many people?"
Ye Zhen said faintly, "As long as the epidemic is under control."
"Doctor Gong, I … I want to go back." The medicine boy was about to cry. He already regretted following them. If he had known that the situation in Luo Mei City was so serious, he would not have come.
"You are already here. It is impossible for the people outside to let you out." Ye Zhen looked up at him faintly. "Hurry up and boil the medicine. I won't let you die."
The young doctor held a bottle of pills in his hand and asked Ye Zhen doubtfully, "Heavenly Concubine, what is this?"
"It's the medicine I concocted. Just put it in the medicine and boil it together." This was a heat-clearing and detoxifying pill made by her. It was effective in treating the epidemic.
"Good." The young doctor nodded. He had followed the Heavenly Concubine for a long time and saw with his own eyes how she saved people with needles. She was obviously dying, but she could still save people. He originally entered the city with a dead man, but now he saw hope.
Perhaps, the Heavenly Concubine could really save the people of Luo Mei City.
"Send the medicine to them to drink. I will perform acupuncture on those who are seriously ill." Ye Zhen ordered. "Teach them how to pay attention to infection. Don't share food and drink."
"Yes." The young doctor responded.
Time passed little by little. Ye Zhen's mind was on saving people, but Lei Yingchun, who was outside the city, was waiting anxiously. He did not know what to do next.
He was waiting for Shui Yichen's edict, whether to withdraw the order or continue to burn Luo Mei City. He did not wait for the edict, but Shui Yichen came.
On the third day after Ye Zhen entered Luo Mei City, Shui Yichen came to Luo Mei City at a fast speed without rest.
"Your Majesty …" Lei Yingchun cried out in shock.
