Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 693 Many People Died

"I do not deserve?"

Chang Ning pointed at himself, really not sure whether what he heard came from Yan Mu's mouth, but judging by his disgusted expression, there seemed to be nothing to disbelieve.

"I am the princess of Beijin Changning, and my father is the king. I was ordered to come to Darong, and I will be treated with honor by you. I... am I not worthy?"

Yan Mu shook the hilt of the sword, and asked impatiently, "Who is the person behind you?"

"What if I don't tell you?" Chang Ning put his index finger against the blade. The blade was so sharp that it cut her finger instantly, and the blood stung her eyes. "You kill me, I can die in your hands , I am also considered stupid to the end."

Yan Mu took a deep look at Chang Ning, but put away his sword the next moment.

"I've already guessed who the person behind you is." He stood up and looked down at Changning condescendingly. "One last piece of advice to you, leave Dayong and return to Beijin immediately. If you don't listen, do it again next time." Me, this sword will cut your throat, and you will die in my hands. Hmph, it is really stupid for you."

After finishing speaking, Yan Mu turned and walked outside.

Looking at the back of Yan Mu's resolute departure, Chang Ning felt more hatred than love, eroding her heart bit by bit.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang and the two children had breakfast, and Qu Moran brought Qu Yi.Regardless of the cold outside, the three children excitedly played in the yard.

Liu Yunxiang poured a cup of hot tea for Qu Moran, "Li Zhu is alone in the medicine hall, is it okay?"

Qu Moran nodded, "He can see some minor illnesses such as headaches and brain fever. And now that the outside is chaotic, the big guys try not to go out if they can. Minor illnesses are taken at home, and there is no one in the pharmacy."

"How is Qu Xing?"

"I'm getting more and more confused." Qu Moran sighed as he said, "Thanks to Li Zhu, otherwise I would have to take care of the medicine hall, the elders and the younger ones by myself, and I would be powerless."

"Li Zhu is capable and sincere."

"I taught him medical skills, and I am also very grateful to him."

The two were talking, when the old prince hurried over. He was wearing a cotton coat, which was actually not thick, and he was really sweating profusely at the moment.

"This is your old man?"

The old prince opened his mouth, unable to take it anymore, he poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat, "This is really wrong!"

Such a sentence came out of nowhere, but Liu Yunxiang didn't understand it.

The old prince told Liu Yunxiang what happened yesterday. He met a family of three in the alley, and advised them to go back to the Shannian camp, and then go to see it at night. All three of them died.

"They said that the three members of this family died of a sudden epidemic, but when I saw them, the child was indeed dying of hunger, but the two adults were fine, so why...he died!"

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "You didn't feel wrong last night, but now?"

The old prince came over and said mysteriously: "I went to the Shannian camp early this morning, and saw officers and soldiers from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing carrying out a lot of corpses from the Shannian camp, and there was a commotion inside, and there was a lot of movement."

"How many?"

"There are dozens of them."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "It stands to reason that the imperial hospital has already given the prescription, and the imperial court has also distributed medicinal materials. After all these days, the epidemic should be under control. It's really strange why it's getting worse."

Liu Yunxiang said as he glanced at Qu Moran, "How about it, sister Qu, come with us to see what kind of disease it is, and you can give me a useful prescription."

Qu Moran nodded, "Okay, I haven't admitted patients who have been treated for this disease, but I'm really curious."

Liu Yunxiang asked Jinyan and Zijin to stay at home to take care of the three children. She took Qu Moran and went to the Shannian Camp with the old prince.

When I came outside the camp, I could see the steaming white steam from a distance. Rice porridge was boiled in those big pots, and there were baskets of steamed buns.

"Mom, hold on a little longer, we'll have something to eat soon!"

"I'm hungry……"

"Hurry up, hurry up, we are saved!"

A young man ran towards the Shannian camp from the outside with a thin old woman with only a skeleton on his back.

There are many people rushing here on this road, they are all those poor people who tried their best to escape outside, but they still couldn't find a way to survive outside. people.

Going forward, you can see a long queue outside the porridge shed, waiting to receive porridge and steamed buns.

"I'm not here to find trouble, I just want to see those children!"

"Get out of here, don't get in our way!"

"Just call out those children and let me take a look!"

"If you make trouble again, you will be sent to prison!"

"You are unreasonable!"

"Come on, drive her away!"

Hearing the noise, Liu Yunxiang followed the prestige and saw Xi'er who was challenging some officers and soldiers.

She smiled helplessly, and hurriedly dragged the old prince over.

"What's the matter?" the old prince asked.

Because he always came to the Shannian Camp, the officers and soldiers knew him, so they didn't dare to be rude, so they hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the lord, this woman is clamoring to see some children in it, but His Highness ordered that no one should approach the Shannian Camp." , not to mention seeing the people inside, to prevent the spread of the disease.”

This made sense, the old prince looked at Xi'er, waved his hands and said, "You little girl, don't make trouble."

"I didn't make trouble. When I first came here, I saw them carrying the body of a boy. I knew this boy. It was the one they took away from the alley a few days ago. I suspect that other children also suffered. Yes, they must be ruthless!"

"No proof, no evidence, stop talking nonsense!"

"Otherwise, how could good people die? When they left, Sister Liu gave them cotton coats and dry food!"

"In short, we dare not disobey the order issued by His Royal Highness."

Seeing that Xi'er was still arguing, Liu Yunxiang pulled her and asked her if she could see clearly that it was indeed one of the dozen or so children they took in.

Xi'er stomped her feet anxiously, "I've been with them day and night, how could I admit my mistake!"

Liu Yunxiang frowned when he heard that, those children were not sick, and after being raised by her for a few days, their health has improved a lot, how could it be...

At this time, another corpse was carried out, Liu Yunxiang gave the old prince a wink, the old prince understood, and immediately stopped him.

"This one also died of a sudden epidemic?" the old prince asked.

The person who carried the corpse replied: "Yes, he died of illness."

The old prince looked at the corpse, the dead one was still a young man, his face was blue and there was no external injury, he really looked like he died of illness.

While the old prince was standing in front of him, Liu Yunxiang pulled Qu Moran forward, "Sister Qu, take a look, does this person seem to have died of illness?"

Qu Moran couldn't confirm it just by looking, so he took two steps forward, trying to lift the top of the corpse to see what symptoms were left on the skin surface.

"My Highness has issued an order that no one is allowed to approach the Shannian Camp!" The fourth prince Qin Shengrui came over, and when he saw the old prince, he hurriedly put on a respectful attitude, saluted, and said again: "So it's uncle, your old man is idle!" It’s okay, it’s great to tease the bird and walk the dog, why do you always come here!”
