Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Situ Jing continued: "But the weather has been good this year, and there have been no droughts or floods near the Jishui River. The water in the Jishui River has been drunk for hundreds of years. Why did such a situation suddenly occur?"

Everyone looked at Su Ying, and Su Ying said slowly: "The most important cause of epidemics is natural disasters. If there are no natural disasters, it would be...man-made disasters."

Situ Lin's eyes sharpened, and the muscles on his face suddenly tensed up. He took a deep look at Su Ying and said, "You said this epidemic is caused by man-made causes?"

"I'm not sure, but doesn't the emperor have any doubts? Nowadays, the people of Xia Zhaoguo are living and working in peace and contentment, and they are prosperous. However, an epidemic happened at this time. This is clearly someone who wants to destroy this peaceful scene." Su Ying met Situ Lin's gaze and said quietly.

Situ Jin saw the veins on Situ Lin's forehead popping up, and he was obviously trying his best to hold back. He stepped forward and said, "My son, I know that there are some things that my father understands very well, but he has always been unwilling to believe it, but the human heart is the most difficult thing to guess in the world. Now that the facts are before our eyes, will my father still allow the situation to continue to develop in a worse direction?"

Situ Jing became more and more confused as he listened to the conversation between several people: "What are you talking about?"

However, several people remained silent. For a long time, Situ Lin seemed to have made up his mind. He loosened his whitened fingertips and said in a cold voice: "Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, I leave this matter to you two to investigate. You must investigate it." Once we know the truth, if it is a man-made disaster, I will never let it go."

After a pause, he then said: "You two are leaving the palace now and asking the people not to drink the water from the Jishui River. Take the imperial doctor to check the water source near the Jishui River and be sure to find the place where the poison was poisoned. If the poisoner can be found, No matter what means are used, we must find the mastermind behind it.”

"I obey the decree!" The two knew that the matter was urgent, so they immediately received the decree and left the palace.

When the last ray of sunset on the horizon disappears under the darkness, the summer night finally arrives.

Under the cover of night, a slender figure walked through the streets and alleys and came to the door of Prince Su's Mansion. Following the knocking of the copper ring on the door, within a moment, the heavy door was opened through a gap, waiting to see the person outside the door. , the concierge turned aside without hesitation to let the people outside come in.

When they walked outside the house in the backyard, the concierge leaned forward and shouted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Miss Dong'er is here!"

After a moment of silence, Prince Su's rich voice came from the room: "Let her in."

Dong'er carefully walked in. There was an ice basin in the room. There was a hint of coolness in the air, not as hot as outside at all. He quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Prince Su who was sitting behind the desk, reading the memorial, and said softly: "See you there." Pass the prince!"

Prince Su said without raising his head: "What has Prince Jing been doing recently?"

Dong'er knew what he meant and replied respectfully: "King Jing has been searching for the source of the epidemic in the city these days, but he has no clue. Today he suddenly entered the palace. The slave looked very happy when he saw him leaving the palace. He There was a person with him, and he had a very pleasant conversation with that person. The slave did not dare to approach him, and he did not know who the person beside him was. The person was dressed as a bodyguard, and he might be a member of the Imperial Guard."

"Later, the slave girl followed them for a while and found that the two of them went to the areas where the epidemic was most serious. They informed the people there not to use the water from the Jishui River and asked them to go to the south of the city to fetch water. The slave girl guessed that they might have discovered The source of disease transmission is water."

"It's surprising that Princess Jin also entered the palace today." Prince Su put down the memorial in his hand, gently clasped the table with his fingers, and said coldly: "It seems that this Su Ying is indeed not simple. She should hide in the palace when she is pregnant." You have a good pregnancy in the backyard, but you insist on getting involved in these things. A woman from the backyard wants to show her face, so don’t blame me for being ruthless. "

"But the prince..." Dong'er said softly: "Then Su Ying is the person that the prince likes... Let's do this..."

Prince Su frowned and sneered: "He is just a woman. After his great career is accomplished, what kind of woman does he want? He prefers a married woman..." Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped. The voice asked: "Still haven't found the whereabouts of King Jin?"

Dong'er replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I forgive you, but my subordinates are incompetent. Our people have been searching everywhere since they discovered that King Jin was not in the team patrolling Jiangnan, but there is still no sign of King Jin. Even... Even the shadow has disappeared."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong'er didn't dare to raise his head, but he heard a "pop" sound. Prince Su slapped the memorial in his hand on the table, his face was as gloomy as iron: "I have told you to deal with Situ Jin a long time ago. I had to be very alert, but in the end I lost track of him."

After saying that, Prince Su stood up, paced back and forth in front of the desk with his hands behind his hands, then took out a white porcelain bottle from the box on the bookshelf and said, "Put this in Prince Jing's tea, and wait until he shows symptoms." Invite Su Ying to Prince Jin's Mansion, as long as Su Ying is in our hands, we are not afraid that Prince Jin will not take the bait."

"What is this?" Dong'er asked curiously.

Prince Su sneered: "It's just water from the Jishui River that was mixed into the tea that King Jing drank on weekdays, causing him to get the plague. Then he sent someone to notify Su Ying to go to the palace to diagnose and treat King Jing. As long as Su Ying enters the palace, you can Know what to do?"

Dong'er naturally understood what he meant, put the porcelain bottle in his arms, and quietly retreated.

Since the people no longer drink the water from the Jishui River, coupled with Su Ying's prescription for treating the epidemic, many people with mild illnesses have achieved remarkable results after taking it.

However, more than half of the people in the capital relied on the water source of Jishui River. If the source of the poisoning could not be found, the problem would still not be solved.

Situ Jin's whereabouts have always been secret. These days, he led people to conduct careful surveys along the Jishui River Basin, but there was no clue at all for several days.

On this day, the sun was scorching the earth like a furnace. The soldiers accompanying them were thirsty due to the heat. However, the water in the pot was already empty, and the river water in front of them was not drinkable. Everyone felt a little irritable for no reason.

At this time, one of the soldiers was top-heavy from the heat, and the other one lost his balance, tilted his body, and rolled towards the river.

The people traveling with him screamed in surprise, watching helplessly as he rolled down, reaching out but catching nothing.

Fortunately, the location by the river was relatively flat, so the soldier did not roll into the bottomless river water.

When the people around him went to help him, they were hit by an unknown stench that made him vomit on the spot.

Seeing this, Situ Jin frowned and walked over and asked, "What's going on?"

The soldier pointed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, something seems to be buried there. It stinks!"

Only then did Situ Jin realize that the ground was completely black and filled with flies. Perhaps the soldier hit him when he rolled down, and a large number of them died.
