Shui Yichen stared gloomily at the closed city gates, imagining the woman treating the patients inside. She must not even care for herself.
"Open the gates," Shui Yichen said coldly.
"Your Majesty?" Lei Yingchun was shocked, not knowing what Shui Yichen was planning.
"Won't you stop her if she wants to go in?" Shui Yichen looked coldly at Lei Yingchun. Thinking of her current situation, he felt an indescribable rage.
Lei Yingchun said, "Your Majesty, this subject tried to stop the Heavenly Consort, but … she went in herself and opened the gates. We couldn't stop her at all."
Shui Yichen narrowed his eyes. "She opened the gates herself?"
"Yes, the son-in-law is also inside …" Lei Yingchun said softly.
"Open the gates," Shui Yichen said with a sullen face.
Lei Yingchun looked at Shui Yichen awkwardly. "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous inside. We don't know how the Heavenly Consort is doing. You must not go in …"
"We don't want to say the same thing again," Shui Yichen said coldly.
"Your Majesty!" Lei Yingchun knelt in front of Shui Yichen. "Your body is priceless. You cannot take such a risk."
Shui Yichen looked at the others. "Go open the gates."
Lei Yingchun hugged Shui Yichen's calf. "Your Majesty, the epidemic is dangerous. You cannot go in. Your Majesty …"
"If you don't open the gates, We will cut off your head," Shui Yichen said angrily. He turned to the deputy general. "Open the gates."
"Bring all the imperial doctors here." Lei Yingchun knew that he could not stop Shui Yichen. He knew Shui Yichen's feelings for the Heavenly Consort. He would definitely go in regardless.
The gates slowly opened. Shui Yichen strode in with Lei Yingchun following closely behind.
There was still no one on the street. Smoke rose from kitchen chimneys in the distance. Shui Yichen strode in that direction.
"Corpses …" Lei Yingchun paused.
"What corpses?" Shui Yichen asked gravely.
Lei Yingchun replied, "A few days ago, there were many corpses piled up in the alley … The Heavenly Consort must have sent someone to dispose of them."
Shui Yichen quickened his pace until the air was filled with the strong smell of medicine.
"The Heavenly Consort is there." Lei Yingchun pointed to the house in front of him that had not collapsed. Ye Zhen was feeding medicine to a woman.
After the earthquake, most of Luomei City seemed to be preserved, which attracted many people who had lost everything. The epidemic in Luomei City was the most serious, and those who were not sick had already left.
After many of the imperial physicians contracted the disease, Shui Yichen ordered all of the sick to be sent to Luomei City, wanting to completely eliminate the disease. As such, most of the people in Luomei City were not locals, and many of them came from outside. That was why many people died outside.
He knew it was cruel to do this, but if he didn't do this, more people would die.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Shui Yichen strode to Ye Zhen and asked her angrily.
Hearing Shui Yichen's voice, Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise. She looked back and slowly stood up. "Why are you here?"
"I should be asking you that." Shui Yichen stared at her fair face. "Why are you here? Don't you know what this place is? Do you think you won't get sick? "
"I know very well why I am here." Ye Zhen said faintly and handed the bowl in her hand to the medicine boy. She didn't want to argue with Shui Yichen here.
Zhao Tianji just came out of the house. When he saw Shui Yichen, his eyes widened. "Your Majesty …"
Shui Yichen glanced at him coldly. Zhao Tianji swallowed his words, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"I'll leave this place to you." Ye Zhen said to Zhao Tianji, then turned and walked in the direction of the General's Mansion.
"Do you want to die?" Shui Yichen followed behind Ye Zhen. He had nowhere to vent his anger. Ever since he received her abdication letter, he felt as if a ferocious beast had awakened in his body. He was irritable and irritable. He wanted to catch her in front of him and swallow her in one gulp.
Ye Zhen stopped and turned to look at him indifferently. "I cherish my life very much and respect the lives of others. You issued an edict to slaughter the city, you should have known that I would come."
"I had to do this." Shui Yichen explained, not wanting to become a cruel and heartless person in her mind.
"Were you forced to do this, or were you afraid to face it?" Ye Zhen stared straight at him. "This natural disaster has nothing to do with anyone. Do you think it's because of your ascension to the throne that this happened?"
Shui Yichen's eyes flashed with annoyance. "I didn't think so."
"If you really slaughter the city, it will be the biggest disaster. What disease can't be cured? How can you know that you will fail if you don't try?" Ye Zhen said lightly, "You don't have to tell me to leave. If I can't cure them, I won't leave."
"Do you have to go against me?" Shui Yichen asked in a low voice.
"I don't want to go against you." Ye Zhen shook her head gently, "Shui Yichen, I can't watch so many people fail to do their best when I have the ability to cure them. In the end, instead of dying in the plague, they will die in a fire. As a king, you should not kill to stop the killing, but to protect your subjects. They trust and respect you because they feel that you can protect them, not abandon them when they are angry."
Shui Yichen's face was sullen. "I don't want to be the emperor."
"You are deceiving yourself!" Ye Zhen said coldly, "In the four years that I have been away, you have been the emperor of this country. Shui Yichen, why don't you really face the ambition in your heart? If you had no ambition, you would not have ordered the slaughter of the city. You came to me today because you are afraid that I will affect your authority? You can rest assured that as long as they are cured, I will leave here and never come back. "
"Do you really think of me like this?" Shui Yichen's eyes were red. He looked at Ye Zhen angrily and desperately like a trapped beast. "What do you think I want? Don't you know why I came here from the Hua Nation? "
Ye Zhen did not avoid his eyes. She looked at him calmly. "You have helped me, and I am very grateful."
"I don't want your gratitude!" Shui Yichen growled. "Lu Yaoyao, I like you. I want to stay by your side. Even if I can't have you, I just want to look at you. You won't even give me this opportunity."
"Shui Yichen, I am already a wife." Ye Zhen frowned and took a step back.
"I know." Shui Yichen said painfully. "I … should have tried my best to keep you in the Hua Nation."
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. "You should leave here quickly. You don't look very good."
"Aren't you afraid that I will really order the slaughter of the city?" Shui Yichen asked in a low voice.
"Suit yourself." Ye Zhen said lightly.
