Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Situ Jin immediately ordered people to dig up the land, and then he found that the dead animals inside were all dead. He looked at the corpses that exuded a stench, and then suddenly realized that someone had actually buried the animal carcasses at the water source. , allowed to rot, the rotten water flows into the river, polluting the river.

After the imperial doctor's investigation, he found out that the dead animals had died of an epidemic.

Situ Jin ordered people to check along the way and found dozens of such corpse pits. He immediately ordered people to bring firewood and incinerate the animal carcasses on the spot.

The source of the epidemic was finally found, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ying had been in the palace these days, and Concubine Shu took care of her personally. She counted the days when Situ Jin would come back, so she returned to the palace.

When Situ Jin returned to the palace, it was still early and Su Ying had not yet gotten up. He was about to step into the room but suddenly pulled back. He turned and walked towards the next room. As he walked, he ordered his servants: "Prepare hot water, my king." Need a bath!"

After everything was done, he quietly entered the room. At that time, Su Ying had just woken up and before the gauze curtain was opened, Su Ying's lazy voice came from the tent: "Chunlan, bring water in!"

Situ Jin took the basin from Chunlan and waved for them to leave.

When the gauze curtain was lifted, Su Ying's figure was shrouded in a shadow. She noticed the difference in the aura of the visitor. When she raised her head and saw Situ Jin's clear and handsome face, the joy in her eyes immediately disappeared. It seemed like it was about to overflow: "My lord, you are back!"

"You're back. How are you these days when I'm not here?" Situ Jin raised his hand and touched her rosy cheeks: "Are you tired these days?"

Su Ying smiled slightly and touched her swollen belly with both hands: "I'm a little tired. The children are getting bigger and bigger, and my back is very sore these days. The prince has been away for several months, but he has lost a lot of weight..."

"I don't mind..." Situ Jin knelt down and reached out to touch her belly gently. The child in her belly seemed to be sensitive and responded to Situ Jin gently.

He said ecstatically: "This little guy, is he welcoming me back?"

Perhaps because he felt the touch, the little guy in his belly was particularly excited and kept kicking Su Ying's belly.

"Okay, stop making trouble, it's time for your mother to get up!" Situ Jin gently patted his bulging belly, and the little guy calmed down.

Su Ying chuckled and said: "He is very naughty on weekdays, and he becomes more and more active at night. He kept me awake in the middle of the night, but he listened to the prince."

Situ Jin took Su Ying's clothes with loving eyes and put them on her one by one, with careful and gentle movements, for fear of touching the child in her belly.

With a smile on his lips, Situ Jin said to her belly while dressing her: "You must listen to your mother in the future and don't disturb your mother again at night."

While the two were talking, Xia Yu brought breakfast in. Situ Jin frowned slightly when he saw that the breakfast was quite simple: "This is how you serve the princess during the days when the king is not here. She is pregnant now, how can she eat?" So light?"

Su Ying glanced at the porridge and eggs on the table and said with a smile: "Your Majesty mistakenly blamed them. I am about to give birth. Eating too much is not conducive to childbirth."

Situ Jin then showed his face, picked up the white porridge on the table, scooped out a spoonful, put it to his lips and blew it, then brought it to Su Ying's mouth. Su Ying was about to refuse, but saw him With eyes full of anticipation, he still couldn't bear it and opened his mouth to drink.

After feeding a few mouthfuls, Su Ying still couldn't help but said: "I can eat it myself. The prince has traveled all night and didn't have a good rest. He must be tired. Please eat quickly and rest for a while."

Su Ying said and took the bowl from his hand. Situ Jin picked up another egg, carefully peeled the shell clean, and handed it to her lovingly: "I'm fine. I stayed awake for days and nights during the march, but It’s okay if you haven’t slept for a day!”

Su Ying looked at him with some distress: "Your Majesty, you will finish your meal later. Don't think about anything. Go to bed and have a good sleep."

Seeing that she said this seriously, Situ Jin responded with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you."

The two of them had breakfast, and Situ Jin insisted on helping Su Ying to eat. As soon as they walked to the front yard of the palace, they saw thick smoke billowing in the sky in the distance, and soon they saw the light of fire spreading in the sky. When it opened, half the sky was dyed red in an instant.

The sky was dry and the fire was all over the sky, which showed that this fire was definitely not small.

While the two were stunned, Mu Ying ran in from outside the door and said with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, it's not good. King Jing just sent someone to report that the warehouse of medicinal materials shipped from various places to treat the epidemic the day before yesterday was on fire. "

There was a loud bang in Su Ying's head and she almost lost her balance. She grabbed Situ Jin's hand and said, "Your Majesty..."

Situ Jin's expression was not much better. He supported Su Ying and comforted her: "Don't worry, just stay in the house and I'll go take a look."

Su Ying held his hand tightly, her expression a little ugly: "You have to be careful! This matter happened strangely."

Situ Jin nodded solemnly and followed the shadow out of the palace.

When they arrived at the fire site, they saw that the entire house was completely surrounded by fire, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of burning smoke.

The nearby residents, officers and soldiers were running around, constantly pouring water into the fire, but the sun was shining brightly at this moment, and the fire was burning more and more fiercely.

Situ Jing looked at the raging fire and angrily grabbed the soldiers beside him and asked, "I want you to watch carefully. What's going on?"

The soldier was trembling with fear: "My subordinates didn't know that the man on duty was also burned to death by the fire. When we found out, the fire was already very strong."

Situ Jing's face looked a little ferocious: "Where did you all go just now?"

The soldier said: "We haven't had a good rest for several days. We were too tired last night, so we only left two people to guard the place. The rest all went to rest. No one expected that there would be a sudden fire."

Situ Jing gradually calmed down: "When did you discover the fire?"

The soldier replied: "Towards daybreak, the fire started burning inside the house. The two guards also died inside the house. I guess they must have died after they found out and went to check inside the house."

Situ Jing lifted the white cloth covering the bodies and after careful inspection, he found that there were no injuries on the two bodies. He couldn't help but become suspicious.

If a fire was discovered, they should call someone for help as soon as possible. Why did the two of them enter the house at the same time to check, and what a coincidence, they made any movement after entering and then died quietly.

Logically speaking, a place where medicinal materials are stored will not have any source of fire, so what will happen if it catches fire?

He lowered his head and thought, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind. Someone must have set the fire deliberately in order to burn this batch of medicinal materials and allow the epidemic to continue.
