"Come on, go forward and dig out the corpse." Yu Wentuo directed the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers were worried that this was the source of the plague, and the stench was unbearable, so everyone put on masks and could hold on for a while.

Guiguzi and Keser also just arrived at this time, seeing the soldiers shoveling down, the culprit of the stench was finally revealed!

The soldiers looked at the excavated corpse, which was already mutilated and rotten badly. The palm of the arm had already disappeared. Looking at the disconnected place, it seemed that there were signs of being torn and bitten.

Keser stepped forward to look at the severely decomposed corpse. Its face was completely rotten, and its eyes were gone. There were only two holes for the eyes, which looked creepy.

Fortunately, it is broad daylight now, and there are thirty or forty big men here, so they are not afraid of any evil spirits.

Keser held his breath, took out the silver needle he carried with him, and slowly stuck it into the body of the corpse. When he pulled it out, part of the silver needle had turned black, which made everyone present feel puzzled.

"This man died of poisoning." Seeing everyone's astonishment, Guiguzi explained to them from the side.

"Mr., according to your theory, could this be the source of the plague?" Yu Wentuo asked looking at the rotting corpse.

"As expected, it should be!" Guiguzi nodded, at least he thought so.

Keser broke off the silver needle and threw it away. Naturally, this highly poisonous thing cannot be used anymore. He walked back to Yu Wentuo and the others, looked back at the corpse and said, "Brother Guigu said that this A dead body is the source of the plague."

Fearing that they might not understand something, he pointed to the mutilated arm and continued: "This corpse should have been dead for no more than two months, and this person died of poisoning. As for what kind of poison, this old man can't answer. It can only be said that he was buried here after his death. Maybe it was too hasty. The person who buried him dug the corpse hole relatively shallow. The arm was outside, and it happened to be found by the livestock that came to forage in this mountain, so they gnawed and ate the exposed arm!"

When Keser said this, both Yuwentuo and Qinglong seemed to understand the whole incident. There were no wild animals at the foot of Wuji Mountain, and they had never heard of wolves, but there were quite a few wild dogs, maybe they were discovered by wild dogs After biting and eating his arm, he went to the town, but the corpse was poisoned and died. After the wild dogs ate his meat, they would not be safe and sound, and they went crazy and bit people everywhere. After being bitten by a dog, he was indirectly infected again, and thus the subsequent plague occurred.

As long as you are scratched or bitten by those people, you will develop symptoms like copper corpses. There are many merchants passing by in the town, and the news spread in several nearby towns.

"Then what are we going to do with this corpse now?" Yu Wentuo heaved a sigh of relief when the truth finally came to light.

"Burn it!" Keser said two words calmly.

Yu Wentuo nodded, and ordered to the surrounding soldiers: "Have you heard what Dr. Keser said, hurry up and find some firewood, and burn this corpse to avoid any more problems!"

"Yes—" Yu Wentuo gave an order, and the soldiers began to work.

Fortunately, there are a lot of dead firewood nearby, and I picked up a lot of them in a few clicks, and burned the corpse directly here, so as to avoid similar things from happening again in the future.

The fire was blazing, and a burst of smoke drifted up into the sky. Now that the source has been solved, we only need to wait for the arrival of the few herbs that are missing now, and we will be able to detoxify the villagers immediately.

The fire made the sticks crackle and rattle, and because the corpse itself emitted a stench, after the burning, it was naturally not much better, so everyone present covered their mouths and noses and retreated fifty paces away.

After the fire ended, Keser was still worried, and immediately went back to the camp to boil a large pot of antidote liquid, and ordered someone to pour it on it, and then dug a deep pit, and buried the soil and ashes into the big pit. It's over!

Muyue and Baihu are taking care of the poisoned villagers in the temple. There are not enough medicinal materials, and some villagers still have to use the intoxicating incense of Guiguzi to stabilize them, but some villagers have died of intoxication due to being poisoned for too long. The body is stiff, like a hard boulder.

He Lianqi led hundreds of people to transport medicinal materials, and rushed to Wuji Mountain all night long, and finally delivered the medicinal materials to the camp on the morning of the sixth day.

Loulan Palace

Yu Wentuo and his group have been there for more than half a month, and they don't know what's going on there now. Last time the second prince went there to exercise medicinal materials, I don't know if they can arrive now?

This shouldn't be something she was worried about, but she was worried about it, thinking about it day and night, even if He Lianzhi came to comfort her, she couldn't solve it.

Just as He Lianzhi walked into the palace, he saw her troubled face again.

"Why, are you still thinking about the plague in Wuji Mountain? How many times have I told you, don't worry, they will definitely solve it." He Lianzhi sat beside her with a dissatisfied handsome face, looking at her recently thinned appearance , an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"I am your queen, and I should share it for you. If the plague in Wuji Mountain cannot be suppressed, it will definitely spread. This is an unpredictable consequence!" Cen Xue knew the severity of the plague, at least it was a few towns, More than that may spread to a country, this is no joke.

Especially the letter Yu Wentuo sent back last time said it was some kind of corpse poison, which is even less worrying.

"Xue'er, if you still think you are the orphaned queen, then obediently raise the baby, and give birth to a fat boy for the orphan in a few months, and add a little prince to my Loulan royal family, how about it?" Helian Zhi knew that she cared about her own performance.

But as a man and the king of a country, he certainly wouldn't let his woman worry about him, especially since she was pregnant with Liujia now, and she was about to give birth in about four and a half months.

"How do you know it's the little prince? What if it's the little princess?" Cen Xue nestled shyly in his arms, a burst of sweetness in her heart.

"Whether it's the little prince or the little princess, as long as it's Gu's child with you, Gu will like it!" He Lianzhi hugged her tenderly, fearing that he would be too rude and hurt her.

"By the way, do you still remember Dr. Keser's words? Maybe I have twins in my stomach!" Cen Xue said proudly. Now she is only five months pregnant, but she seems to be nearly seven months old. Dr. Keser also said that the pulse is very strong, maybe she is really pregnant with twins.

When He Lianzhi saw her laughing, she only laughed when the child was mentioned during this time, and once he was not by her side, she would worry about this and that again.

"You just need to remember Gu's words, as long as it is our child, regardless of gender, Gu likes it!" He Lianzhi held her cheeks and kissed her tenderly.

Lan Qi'er, who was waiting on the side, turned around shyly, blushing. Although she had seen many such occasions, she was still a little embarrassed, after all, she was still a young girl.

"Cen Xue will remember your words, but it's been a troubled time recently, and my heart has been uneasy all the time. I want to offer incense to the Bodhisattva, do you think it's okay?" Cen Xue asked while sitting in his arms.

He Lianzhi frowned, want to go to incense at this time?Now that she has a big belly, how can she leave the palace?What if something happens on the way?

"No, with your current physical condition, you absolutely cannot leave the palace. If you want to, it's the same wherever you burn incense. There is also a small Buddhist hall in the palace. It used to be repaired by the lonely imperial grandmother, but her old man passed away. In the future, only the lonely mother will go there occasionally, and let Zhao Changde take you there tomorrow, and if you want to offer incense to the Bodhisattva in the future, you can just go to the small Buddhist hall!" He Lianzhi refused her to leave the palace, not to mention that she was pregnant now , that is, the last time she was taken away, he has not forgotten it yet.

Being rejected by him, Cen Xue also knew that he was caring about herself. Since that was the case, she didn't trouble him. enough.

"Okay, let Eunuch Zhao lead me tomorrow." Cen Xue leaned into his arms and said.

He Lianzhi saw that it was rare for her not to sing against him, it seemed that the child held a lot of weight in her heart, and it changed her stubborn temperament.

The next day, Zhao Changde came to Xingqing Palace early in the morning, but Cen Xue had never been in the habit of getting up early, so Zhao Changde had to wait for two full hours before seeing her.

"It's really hard work, Eunuch Zhao, for keeping you waiting for so long, let's go now." Cen Xue puffed out her stomach, supported by Lan Qi'er, and went with the two maids and the little eunuch.

"What's the matter, my lady? It's my honor to be able to do things for my lady!" Zhao Changde is an experienced father-in-law. When it comes to speaking, no matter what, no matter what the occasion, no one will choose from him. Find out what's wrong with him.

The soft sedan has been waiting outside the palace for a long time. Although the small Buddhist hall is in the East Palace, the distance is not very far, but for her safety, He Lianzhi still ordered Zhao Changde to prepare a soft sedan to pick her up to avoid any situation. This is enough to prove that How gracious is the king's love for the queen.
