The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

"Miss Shu, it was actually Prince Xiao who asked me to come look for you."

Lily of the Valley said hurriedly.

Shu Xin was stunned.

During the time she had been in Qingfeng Village, she secretly hoped that Xiao Beiwang could come and rescue her.

But she didn't hold out too much hope.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Xiao Beiwang, it’s that she is used to being independent. When faced with danger, she only trusts herself first.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to trust others, but she doesn’t dare to place too much hope on others.

This has something to do with the fact that she is an orphan.

Another reason is that she has been betrayed too many times by love and friendship.

She had keenly noticed that Xiao Beiwang seemed to treat her a little differently.

She had a vague guess in her heart, but she was instinctively afraid and chose to escape.

Seeing Shuxin in a daze, Linglan was a little confused.

"Miss Shu, what's wrong? I see that Prince Xiao cares about you very much, and he specifically asked me to find you!"

Linglan thought of the solemn expression of Master Xiao before she left, and she couldn't help but blurt out.

"is it?"

Smile comfortably.

"Yes, that's why I followed Peng Si to Qingfeng Village."

Lily of the valley was anxious. She looked around, fearing that there might be eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

She lowered her voice and told the story that she was rescued by Xiao Beiwang, and begged him to kill Peng Si for her. Then he asked her to help him find someone in Qingfeng Village.

After listening to this, Shuxin sighed.

There are so many people in the Xiao and Tao families, and they all need Xiao Beiwang as the backbone to lead them.

What's more, judging by the time, the epidemic in Yunmeng City should have already broken out.

He actually didn't even take the Xiao family away, and instead risked coming out to look for us.

Thinking of this, Shu Xin couldn't help but feel complicated.

I feel touched, worried, and more importantly, confused.

She couldn't help but think of Xiao Beiwang's face and the moments she had spent with him.

The tips of her ears turned slightly red, and she felt mixed emotions.

Linglan saw her reaction and couldn't help feeling happy.

It seems that something must have happened between the young lady and Master Xiao during the time when I was not with her.

As long as the young lady can be happy, she will be happy just by watching.

What's more, Prince Xiao is really reliable.

After meeting him this time, she felt that the rumors about him in Shengjing were all false.

If the lady and he can...

Lily of the valley couldn't help but think about it, holding beautiful expectations and blessings in her heart.

Even the pain in my heart seemed to have faded a lot.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Did he tell you what to do after you find me?"

Shu Xin quickly shook her head to get rid of the emotions in her heart.

Now is not the time to think about these things. She wants to know more about what Xiao Beiwang’s arrangements are.

Lily of the Valley nodded.

She removed the bracelet from her wrist.

The bracelet is made of bamboo.

Linglan took the bamboo bracelet in her hand and with a little force, she broke off a small section.

"Prince Xiao asked me to give this to you, saying that as long as you blow the bamboo flute, you will naturally know what happens next."

Linglan handed the bamboo flute to Shuxin.

Shuxin took it curiously.

She looked carefully and found that it was indeed a bamboo flute.

It is only the size of an adult's little finger and is very delicate.

Shu Xin put the bamboo flute back on the bracelet and then put the bracelet on her wrist.

In this way, the two of them finished talking about the important things.

Shuxin asked Linglan to stay put and she would receive news from her side the day after tomorrow.

Linglan agreed obediently, telling Shuxin not to worry about her.

Shu Xin nodded, and then let Madam Wu take her away.

At this time, Yu Fang and Wu Ningxin also came back.

Following behind them was an old man with gray hair.

It seems that he is the doctor in this village.

The old man checked Shuxin's injury and said that it was nothing serious, just a sprained ankle, nothing serious.

Then he applied medicine to Shuxin and told her not to move or get wet.

It will be fine tomorrow morning.

Shu Xin nodded in agreement and asked Wu Ningxin to help send the old doctor out.

She was worried about the epidemic situation in Yunmeng City.

I'm also worried about mom and dad.

It's a pity that she doesn't know anything now.

At this time, on the wall of Yunmeng City.

Liu Jinyan covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looking at the scene outside the city wall with a frown on his face.

Most of the refugees who had been clamoring to open the city gates a few days ago had now fallen down.

There were dead bodies and dying people everywhere.

Outside the city, the air was desolate and dead.

Even Shu Hu and Xu Qian beside Liu Jinyan couldn't bear to watch any longer.

The epidemic came violently, and at first only some people showed symptoms suspected of high fever.

Those who contracted the disease gradually developed high fever and finally suffocated to death.

Thanks to Xu Qian's quick response and timely use of the prescription, the epidemic situation in the city was temporarily stabilized.

However, because the city gates were closed all the time, supplies in the city gradually became scarce.

Many people are facing the situation of having no food to eat.

Therefore, there are always people sneaking out of the city.

Even though Xu Qian had sent heavy troops to guard the two city gates, there were still people lurking along the moat looking for food.

Naturally, people continued to be infected with the disease and brought it back to the city.

As a result, medicinal materials in the city gradually became scarce.

If this continues, even if we have the prescription, it will be useless without all the ingredients.

Yunmeng City will open sooner or later.

"Send some men out to pile up those bodies and burn them."

Liu Jinyan instructed Xu Qian who was beside him.

Xu Qian nodded and immediately sent someone to do the job.

He looked at the tragic scene in front of him and felt very sad.

This disaster affected more than just Huzhou.

Both Huzhou and Xiangzhou were hit by the disaster, so I think the epidemic must have broken out a long time ago.

He could no longer stay in Yunmeng City, otherwise there would be too many casualties and he would have a hard time explaining to his father.

He was extremely depressed.

He thought that this disaster relief mission would be a lucrative job.

As long as we report the disaster situation to the imperial court, our father will approve the relief funds and distribute them.

The rest of the matter will be left to Shu Hu to handle, and he will have earned the credit.

In this way, when he returns to the capital, his eldest and second brothers will have passed away. Then he will be the most suitable candidate to succeed the throne besides the crown prince.

But now it seems that things are far from that simple.

He just felt that he was extremely unlucky.

"Third Prince, what should we do next? This city gate?"

Xu Qian asked through gritted teeth.

There was nothing he could do. His subordinates reported to him yesterday that the city could no longer hold on.

He originally thought that the Third Palace would bring disaster relief money, so that he could open the city gates and rescue the refugees outside the city.

As a result, the Third Prince asked him to continue closing the city gates.

It was because he was assassinated along the way.

In order to avoid assassination, he had to order Xu Qian to temporarily close the city gates.

As a result, countless people were killed and injured outside the city.

As the official of Yunmeng, he was extremely worried.

I haven’t been eating or sleeping well these days, and several big blisters have appeared on my mouth.

Liu Jinyan was already feeling upset, and became even more upset when he asked this.

"What else can we do? There's no news from the capital yet. We can only wait!"

Liu Jinyan stared at Xu Qian viciously, wishing he could drag Xu Qian down and chop him to pieces.

This still requires waiting, but how long do we have to wait?

Xu Qian complained bitterly in his heart.
