Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

After meeting King Yu, King Yue, and Mu Yunyao in a hurry, they hurried back to Linjiang City overnight.

With the garrison of Huai'an City coming to guard and assist, after most of the flood in Yishui City receded, they could finally enter the city to check the situation.

Mu Yunyao prepared a lot of medicinal materials in advance. During the waiting period, she painstakingly made various kinds of pills, and distributed one to everyone who entered Yishui City: "Although there is only one pill, but It can save a person's life at a critical time, and I hope you will treat it with caution."

The soldiers who received the pills were very surprised. Although they don't know how effective the medicine bowl is, Mu Yunyao's cautious and considerate attitude made everyone feel good.

Before entering Yishui City, Mu Yunyao had already made a lot of preparations in her heart, but seeing the situation in the city, she still couldn't help but turn pale.

Seeing the situation in the city, many soldiers vomited out with pale faces. Although they had never been on a battlefield, they had seen blood, but seeing the purgatory-like scene in the city, they felt an uncontrollable nausea in their chests.

King Yue stood beside Mu Yunyao, noticing the sadness in her expression, and shook her hand vigorously.

Mu Yunyao turned her head and shook her head: "I'm fine."

It's not that she and King Yue thought about entering Yishui City earlier to see if any victims survived, but the manpower she brought was too limited, and in addition, Yishui City was full of floods and silt, leaving no place for people to set foot , so we can only give up for now.

The soldiers all took the tools for cleaning the streets in their hands, covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels, and began to clean the roads in the city in a muffled voice.

The two rivers poured into Yishui City together, submerging the entire city. At this time, the flood receded, and many corpses of people and animals were stranded on the street. Now the weather has become hotter. After so many days, the corpses have begun to rot and emit a stench. The smell makes people want to spit out the overnight meal.

King Yue gritted his teeth tightly, the coldness and murderous intent in his eyes were grand and piercing: "Those people should really let those people see what evil they have done!"

Mu Yunyao's face was expressionless, but unspeakable grief and indignation welled up in her heart: If this is really a natural disaster, it can be attributed to the cruelty of the heavens, but this happened to be a man-made disaster, and the people in these cities can clearly live safe and sound. Living a peaceful life, but because of the struggle for power and profit of the people above, everything about them was destroyed...

Yu Heng came to report: "Master, the tung oil and firewood are ready."

King Yue withdrew his gaze, and suppressed all the grief and anger in his heart: "Prepare to clean up the corpses in the city."

"Yes."

The corpses were cleaned up and piled up in an open space in the city, surrounded by firewood splashed with tung oil.

Yu Heng wanted to go forward, but was blocked by King Yue. He took the torch from Yu Heng, and walked forward step by step with a solemn expression. After a moment of pause, he bent down to light the firewood.

Mu Yunyao looked at King Yue's tense back, and her eyes were slightly red. Regardless of the mud on the ground, she stepped forward and knelt down, clasped her hands together and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers behind him and some civilians who followed felt that their throats were blocked for some reason, and they could not help but kneel down with Mu Yunyao.

A large amount of black smoke rushed into the sky with the peculiar stench of corpses. The smell was extremely unpleasant, but no one left.

Mu Yunyao clasped his hands together, and the sound of reciting Buddhist scriptures was not loud amidst the crackling of firewood and burning corpses, but it seemed to be able to attract everyone's attention. After she finished reading the last sentence of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Sutra, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the blazing flames. She bent down and saluted solemnly: "May the deceased rest in peace."

When the soldiers behind him heard this sentence, they couldn't help but read it out after him: "May the dead rest in peace!"

"rest in peace!"

The voice became louder and louder, King Yue stood beside Mu Yunyao, and saluted along with her: "May the deceased rest in peace."

This hatred is a crime committed by the royal family, and must be paid with the blood of the royal family. He will definitely make King Ling and King Jin pay the price.

Waiting for the fire to be extinguished, King Yue led people to collect the ashes and buried them together in the tomb dug in advance on the side of the mountain. There was a stone tablet in front of the tomb. , He will find a way to find the government's household registration documents, and let people engrave the names of the people who suffered in the city on them as complete as possible.

It will take more than ten days to completely clean up Yishui City. In the next few days, every time the corpses of the dead were burned, King Yue would do it himself, and Mu Yunyao would kneel and recite a passage of Buddhist scriptures. The dead rest in peace." After reading this sentence, the pain and sadness in my heart seemed to become less, and it would not completely overwhelm my heart.

On the third day of the cleanup, the imperial physicians arrived one after another. Some of the soldiers and civilians who came to the city had symptoms of the plague, and the first person died of the plague in the isolated camp in the mid-level camp. victims.

Many imperial physicians were initially conflicted, but when they saw the situation in Yishui City and heard the words asking the deceased to rest in peace, their expressions became involuntarily solemn, and they concentrated on treating the victims.

At the same time, the people in Guancheng in the lower reaches of Yishui City had already started a commotion. While sending people to appease the people's emotions to avoid a civil uprising, the officials rushed to send a letter to the capital.

When the emperor saw the brochure sent up, his slightly red eyes flashed slowly solemnly: "There are also people in Guancheng infected with the plague..."

At the same time, the officials who heard the news went to the palace to seek an audience, hoping that the emperor would close Yishui City and kill everyone in the city for the sake of more people.

The emperor ignored these remarks, and the officials sat quietly at the gate of the palace, begging the emperor to issue an order to close Yishui City. If the emperor did not agree, they would not be able to kneel down.

In the eldest princess's mansion, Nanny Qu reported the matter at the gate of the palace to the eldest princess Yide.

Princess Yide couldn't help sneering after hearing this: "At this point, King Jin still doesn't give up. I didn't see it before, but he still has this kind of heart."

Nanny Qu lowered her hands to one side and dared not speak.

"Jun Yu should be back soon, right?"

"Yes, the news has been sent, and at noon tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to return to Kyoto."

Princess Yide's expression was deep: "As early as when the emperor ascended the throne, I swore an oath in front of the tombstones of my father and mother that I would never interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the king of Jin left it to the emperor to handle it himself. The people in the harem took action and suppressed Concubine Zhen's family!"

Nanny Qu respectfully replied: "Yes."

The emperor has always felt sorry for the humble concubine Zhen's background, so he gave her a lot of praise in the harem, but after so many years, no matter how humble her background was, under the emperor's deliberate promotion, it has already developed into a trend, and the king of Jin can follow suit. She has won so many good reputations smoothly, among which Concubine Zhen has contributed a lot. However, from now on, Concubine Zhen really came from a humble background.
