Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Thinking of this terrible thought, his heart suddenly sank. Now that he had finally found the source of the epidemic, what would happen to the remaining people who were infected if these medicinal materials were gone?

Thinking of this, he pushed aside the soldiers in front of him in panic and ran outside.

Not long after he ran out of the yard, he was pulled by someone to the alley next to him.

Seeing that he looked extremely panicked, Situ Jin asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

When Situ Jing saw that the person in front of him was Situ Jin, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "All the medicinal materials were burned. Someone set the fire. The guard was burned to death in the house. When he found out, the fire was out of control."

Situ Jin looked at the fire that was still reaching the sky, clenching his fists tightly, and his fingertips began to turn slightly white: "You go to maintain order at the scene first, and I will handle the rest."

Situ Jin did not return to the palace, but left the city directly. Dong'er, who was guarding the city gate, saw with his own eyes that after Situ Jin left the city, a smile appeared on his lips and he disappeared into the crowd.

Situ Jing returned to his mansion with a gray face after a long day of exhaustion.

Dong'er walked in with a cup of freshly brewed tea, and her voice was always soft and pleasant: "Your Majesty, you have been tired for a long day. Let's drink a cup of tea to relieve our fatigue."

Situ Jing rubbed his sore eyebrows and took the tea cup. As soon as he opened it, there was a mellow and fragrant smell along with the water vapor. The tea soup was green and thick. He said with some surprise: "When did you learn to brew it?" Tea?”

Dong'er seemed to have expected that he would ask such a question, and answered fluently: "I asked the waiter's sister to learn it new. I don't know if I learned it well. Your Majesty, try it and see."

Situ Jing put the tea cup under his nose, smelled it, and praised: "The tea is fragrant, and it is brewed well."

Seeing that he kept praising but not touching the cup of tea, Dong'er urged without any trace: "The prince is always praising the slave, but he didn't see the prince take a sip of the tea brewed by the slave. He must have disliked the slave's craftsmanship."

Situ Jing picked up the tea cup and slowly held it to his lips. When he was about to drink, he suddenly remembered something and put the tea cup on the table again. He said to Dong'er: "My shoulder is very sore today." , please press it for me!"

Seeing him put down the tea cup, Dong'er felt extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to show it. He could only step forward and massage Situ Jing's shoulders, but his eyes never left the tea cup in front of him.

Situ Jing closed his eyes to rest. Dong'er didn't stop moving his hands and asked softly: "I heard today that all the medicinal materials for treating the epidemic were burned. The prince must be upset because of this today, right?"

Situ Jing asked in surprise: "You are actually paying attention to this matter?"

Dong'er glanced at him and saw that he still had his eyes closed, and whispered: "If this epidemic is not eliminated for a day, then the capital will not be peaceful for a day. The slaves are also among them, so they are naturally concerned."

Situ Jing raised his eyebrows: "You are a kind-hearted person!"

Dong'er smiled shyly: "Your Majesty has never been stingy in praising others. I just care about my life. By the way, now that all the medicinal materials have been burned, does Your Majesty have any countermeasures?"

Situ Jing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Dong'er. Dong'er was startled when he saw the movements in his hands, and the hand on Situ Jing's shoulder was a little confused: "Your Majesty...why are you looking at this slave like this?"

Situ Jing immediately smiled, turned around and said, "Nothing? These medicinal materials were collected from major pharmacies in the city. Now the medicinal materials can no longer be found in the capital. This matter has been reported to the father, and I am now helpless. "

Dong'er said with a sad face: "What should we do? Doesn't Princess Jin have any ideas?"

Situ Jing frowned and said, "She is pregnant now. She shouldn't have to worry about these things. Even if she is told, it will only add to her worries."

Dong'er walked to the table, picked up the tea cup, walked to Situ Jing and said, "Your Majesty, this tea is getting cold!"

Situ Jing looked at Dong'er and smiled: "That's how you hope I drink this cup of tea!"

Dong'er calmed down and said, "Forget it if the prince doesn't drink. I will never make tea again."

This tea was mixed with disease-containing water given by Prince Su. As long as Situ Jing took a sip, he would definitely be infected with the disease in a few days.

She couldn't pass up this opportunity.

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Situ Jing took the tea cup and said, "I'm tired, so just take a sip. Please step back!"

As he said that, he took a sip of tea in front of Dong'er. When Dong'er saw that he drank it, he stopped pestering him and left immediately.

The news that the medicinal materials were burned spread throughout the capital overnight. When those patients and their families who had not recovered from the epidemic heard about it, panic swept the whole city instantly.

Within a few days, there were rumors in the capital that the plague was rampant and that the antidote was burned for no apparent reason. This was a warning from God that disaster was coming. If he stayed in the capital any longer, he would be dead.

For a time, the people in the capital wanted to flee the capital. Even though the government sent out guard camps to defend, people still rushed to the city gate, shouting that they wanted to escape from the city.

Rumors are always scary, not to mention that the plague kills people invisible. Even the kindest people will lose their minds when faced with ignorant fear.

Seeing more and more people gathering, the entire city gate was blocked.

Wang Hu stood at the gate of the city, frowning as he looked at the people below the city who were clamoring to leave the city. After a while, a soldier climbed up the city tower with difficulty through the layers of human walls, panting and saying: "Report to the commander, my subordinates have gone down to the scene." The people in the palace say that the prince is sick and cannot come out."

Wang Hu's frown deepened. Ever since the prince was reprimanded, the emperor has not summoned him to court even after he was released from confinement. The second prince has been injured since hunting and is still not doing well. The third prince is also a careless person. Yes, King Jin is not in the city now.

Do we really want to upload this matter to the palace and tell the emperor?

Just as he was frowning, the people below began to become restless.

"Open the city gate and let us out!"

"That's right, we don't want to die. There isn't even medicine in this city. Do we want to watch all the people in the city die?"

"My child is still young, I don't want to die!"

"Everyone, rush forward together and open the city gate!"

..........

The people below became more and more excited and rushed toward the soldiers. The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to attack the people, so they could only retreat step by step, and were soon pushed to the city gate by the crowd.

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "Everyone, listen to me, I am the prince. Don't be afraid. Please believe in the court. The court will never give up on any common people in the city."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Don't crowd, everyone, the Crown Prince is here, everyone listen to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Soon, the restless crowd calmed down, and everyone moved out of the way. Situ Yan passed through the crowded crowd and soon stood on the tower.
