The long sword pierced through the wooden cup, split into two halves, and slid steadily over the man's head.

The man in gray was so frightened that his body went limp.

Everyone gasped.

Lu Shiwan curled his lips and smiled, "If I had known this would happen, why would I have endured this? Tell me!"

The man closed his eyes, sighed, and took a deep breath.

"We are the servants of Princess Lucy. Ata told us that we just need to put this thing into the medicine pot and fan the flames."

"We don't know what the poison is."

Then, he stared at Lu Shiwan in a daze.

"I originally thought that Princess Lucy's methods were cruel enough, but I never thought that Princess Qi was even more cruel and ruthless."

"Now that I have betrayed the princess, you can kill me or chop me up as you wish."

He betrayed the princess, and the princess also plotted against them. The princess never wanted the three of them to live from the beginning.

In that case, he would not let Princess Lucy have an easy time.

After working for him for so many years, his two brothers on earth are dead. Given Lu Shiwan's insidiousness and cunningness, how long can he survive?

Lu Shiwan nodded.

"Well, it's quite honest indeed."

"Thank you, sir. I'll leave the rest to you. Take everything away. I'm going to continue my consultation."

Lord Xie nodded, then raised his hand and asked the soldiers to drag the two people on the ground away, and then take the man in gray away.

Mo Qitian walked to Lu Shiwan's side and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Don't be afraid, my lady. I'm here."

"Ah."

The people around them haven't come to their senses yet.

Seeing that Lu Shiwan continued to see patients without any commotion, they felt guilty.

Princess Qi tried to save them with good intentions, but they didn't trust her.

"Princess Qi, we just..."

"It's okay. I don't blame you for believing in slander."

Blame it on Big Lucy.

These people were innocently implicated, and the old man was almost killed. They shouldn't have to bear the grudge between her and Dabo Lucy.

"Lingxi, come here."

Ouyang Lingxi was watching quietly at this moment. She knew that Lu Shiwan would not let Lucy off so easily.

"what happened?"

"You continue to see them. I'll go to the palace."

"it is good."

Then he said to Ziyun: "Ziyun, help Lingxi."

"Yes, princess."

Mo Qitian took Lu Shiwan's hand and left the tent. Lu Shiwan said softly:

"Husband, I checked and found that this plague was man-made."

When she was treating the old lady that day, she sneaked into the space while they were not paying attention, tested the old lady's blood, and found that she was infected with bacteria.

Generally speaking, such situations must be related to the environment.

The imperial city is extremely prosperous, how could there be a place like this?

Mo Qitian nodded, "I know."

"You know?" Lu Shiwan was a little surprised.

"The Imperial Hospital told Father that this plague is very different from the one ten years ago. It is suspected that it was infected from a neighboring country."

Lu Shiwan shook his head.

"Husband, I doubt it."

"No?" Mo Qitian was puzzled. Since the plague ten years ago, the Qian Dynasty has paid special attention to the environment. Could there be any omissions?

Only ten years later, the disease relapsed.

"I looked at the first person I diagnosed with the plague, and she had the most severe symptoms. I think she must have lived closest to where the plague broke out."

“Also, the bacterial infections are different.”

"The severity of the infection will vary depending on the person's physical condition and immune system. For people with good physical conditions, their immune systems will kill most of the weak bacteria. If a person with a mild infection gets infected again at this time, the severity of the infection will not be serious."

“This is why some people can still eat and drink despite being infected with the plague.”

Mo Qitian remained noncommittal.

Although he didn't understand what the immune system was, he had a general understanding of it.

"So, what you mean is that the place where the plague broke out must be on high ground, with downwind?"

Lu Shiwan nodded.

"good."

Mo Qitian: "This matter cannot be delayed. We will talk to Father later."

Lu Shiwan was a little surprised. This guy, who never cared about these things, why would he take the initiative to find the emperor today?

Feeling Lu Shiwan's puzzled gaze, Mo Qitian smiled, reached out his hand and pinched her cheek.

"What, is there something on my face?"

"No, I just like you."

Mo Qitian felt warm in his heart and carried her into the carriage.

At this moment, Dapo Lucy was lying leisurely in the mansion, waiting for her maid Ata to come and report the situation on the street.

When I heard hurried footsteps.

She closed her eyes and said, "Ata, what's going on? Has Lu Shiwan been arrested?"

"Princess, no, someone has come to the palace."

Dabo Lucy opened her eyes and sat up from the chaise longue.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. There are a few royal guards at the door. Please come into the palace, Princess."

Dabo Lucy had a bad feeling and she immediately refused.

"Go and tell His Majesty that this princess is not feeling well."

Ata immediately ran up to her and said anxiously:

"Princess, I'm afraid it's...too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, several royal guards in armor came up behind her, holding swords in their hands.

"Princess Lucy, please accompany me to the palace."

"Why?"

The leading Royal Guard bowed to Dapo Lucy and said, "Excuse me!"

As they said that, several people went to catch her.

Dabo Lucy stood up suddenly, dodging their approaching hands.

"I am an envoy, here to congratulate your emperor. How can you arrest me like this?"

"Do you know that if you offend the Tianqi Kingdom..."

"take away!"

As they spoke, several tall and strong royal guards ignored Big Lucy and grabbed her left and right hands.

"If you have any dissatisfaction, Princess Lucy, please go to the palace and speak to the emperor."

Big Bobel heard the news and rushed over. Seeing Big Bolucy being caught like this, he immediately shouted angrily: "Let her go!"

The Royal Guards did not waver in the slightest.

Big Popel came in hurriedly, ready to pry the Royal Guard's hands apart.

"Prince Bell, since you are here, please follow this general into the palace."

Big Popel couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw this situation.

He then glanced at Dabo Lucy, and seeing that her eyes were a little evasive, he took a deep breath.

"go!"

In the palace at this time.

A large group of people knelt in the Golden Palace.

Lu Shiwan shed tears and sat weakly on the chair, wiping the tears from her face with a handkerchief.

Mo Qitian stood aside and comforted her.

"My lady, please stop crying."

"Woooooooo..."

Lord Xie felt a chill in his heart as he looked at the couple's pretentious appearance.

Fortunately, he was not on the opposite side of them, otherwise he would have been eaten alive by these two people.

What unfavored prince?

Obviously very smart.

"Your Majesty, the Tianqi Kingdom wants to kill us. They dared to secretly put the curare tree into the medicine pot!"

"Your Majesty, please look into this matter carefully. If you don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will retire and return home!" Minister Xie felt heartbroken.

The position of Shangshu is not easy to sit on. It is more comfortable to be a minor official.

When others saw this, they also agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am also going to retire and return home. I am already very old and do not want to be wrongly killed in vain."

With the country in crisis, that would be a crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of the clan.

"Report!"

"The Princess and Prince of Tianqi are here."

The emperor's face was gloomy, "Pass it on!"
