The whole world is waiting for my deposed empress

In just two days, the plague swept the entire Epiphany Town.

Everyone here is a desperado. Knowing that they have the disease, they don't panic in the slightest. They just think about enjoying themselves in time.

Two beggars covered in poison spots were sitting in a corner sheltered from the wind, flipping through a dilapidated picture book like jewels.

The boy sat helplessly across from them, sheltered from the wind, suffering from the pain of the disease and the torment of the arrow wound.

He would rather die like this, than bear such Lingchi pain!

The two people on the opposite side were holding the picture book, hungrily, their eyes were shining.

"What a baby, what a baby!"

The eyeballs of one of them almost fell into the drawing book: "A man looks more attractive than a woman."

"I heard that everyone in the army has a copy of this thing. I picked up this book from a rotting corpse. The corners here have been ripped apart. It seems that those officials are not less fascinated by the male fairies in the book. Upside down!"

Even knowing that the book was picked up from a rotting corpse, the beggar stuck out his tongue to lick the characters painted on the pages of the book.

"This male fairy is now the queen of Xiqin. If I were the dog emperor of Xiqin, I would be happy to marry such a stunning beauty as my queen. Damn, if I can see him with my own eyes, I will be content with my death!"

Another beggar said nastyly: "The dog emperor is dead, and this fairy will be a widow for the rest of her life. Instead of being a widow, it's better... let me love you a little bit."

The two eagerly stuck out their tongues to lick the portraits on the pages of the book, until they licked the old book to the loose pages, and one of the pages was blown in front of the boy by the wind.

Out of curiosity, the boy reached out and caught the page.

There is no text on the pages, only a picture of a fairy.

This fairy has a beautiful appearance and a smart demeanor.

The best royal painter in the Southern Kingdom can't draw half of the beauty of the real Ming Feiqing, but it is enough for people to recognize that the person in the portrait is Xi Qin's current queen.

This face completely overlapped with the boy's Dream Fairy.

With trembling hands, the young man tore apart the portrait that had stained his beloved. He didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly rushed forward, snatching the painting from the beggar's hand!

The two beggars immediately got up and chased after him. The young man ran to the street and saw a family burning wormwood at the door to drive away the poison. The fire was extremely violent.

Tortured to the point of exhaustion by his injuries, he unexpectedly burst out with strength. He tore up the entire picture book with his bare hands, and threw these pieces of tainted Ming Feiqing into the burning moi just before the beggar came after him.

The fire lit up for a moment, burning everything to ashes! !

"I'll fucking kill you!"

The two beggars who were chasing saw the picture book being destroyed, and became angry with embarrassment. They rushed up and beat the boy on the ground.

The beggar pressed the boy's hand into the fire, trying to get him to pick up a few fragments, and if he didn't pick it up, his hand would be burned!

The young man didn't give in, he didn't beg for mercy, and he couldn't resist, but he smiled when he saw the fire.

He was beaten black and blue two days ago, and then he got the plague. The rugged poisonous spots covered his cheeks, distorting his handsome face into shape.

Even the imperial concubine Shu Huang could not recognize him as his son when she saw him.

He is as ugly as a monster, and this ugly face smiles even weirder and uglier.

The beggar could still laugh when he saw him being burned, and really thought it was a monster.

At this time, heavy rain suddenly fell, which extinguished the fire that burned the young man's hands.

Once the poisonous spots of the past life flower touch the water, it will be unbearably itchy, and the two beggars ran to hide from the rain while wailing.

The boy's hand was curled up in the ashes, the skin on his hand was scorched black.

The rain hit him and it hurt him unbearably.

All the plague-stricken people on the street were fleeing to hide from the rain.

Only the boy sat in the rain, smiling silly.

He knew that he couldn't die, and even felt that all this was the punishment he deserved in the dark, so he didn't want to escape at all.

It rained for two days and two nights.

On the third day, the sun was shining again.

Three carriages came from the outskirts of Epiphyllum Town.

Wen Heng got off his horse, held up an umbrella, walked to the second carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain of the carriage, and said respectfully, "Your Highness, we have arrived."

The hand with strong knuckles lifted the curtain from the inside, Ming Feiqing poked his head out, and what he saw was a desolate and withered town.

When he was rescued by Huaijin back then, he swore that even if he died, he would never step into the territory of the Southern Kingdom again.

Every inch of land here is a reminder of his unbearable and shameful three years.

He would never look back for eternity.

But today, he came back voluntarily.

Ming Feiqing put on the veiled hat, the white gauze of the veiled hat hung down to his waist, completely covering his face - he knew everyone in the Southern Kingdom, and everyone knew his appearance by heart.

Regardless of his previous life or present life, his face was always shameful.

He supported Tianqing's hand and got off the carriage, and at the moment when his feet were about to hit the ground, he subconsciously wanted to shrink back.

Everyone who followed him knew how much courage it took for the Queen to take this step.

They waited patiently.

The sun has also softened.

The fear in my heart was gone in an instant.

Ming Feiqing moved away Tianqing's hand that was holding her.

He has never even been afraid of death, so why be afraid of it?

He took that step.

After two years, he set foot on the land of the southern country again. At that moment, all the memories flooded back, almost knocking him down like a huge wave.

But he is no longer as cowardly and fragile as in his previous life.

He stands very, very firmly.

Yelu Nanzhi will pay for the humiliation he suffered in the southern country, but it doesn't mean that he will be trapped in those three years for the rest of his life.

Ming Feiqing was relieved, he turned to Wen Heng and said, "It's good to call me Young Master outside."

Wen Heng nodded and changed his words: "Young master, Epiphyllum Town is in front of you. Wen An said that there is a plague in the town."

Ming Feiqing himself was not afraid of these diseases, he only cared about Qin Ran and others, so he asked Wen An: "You have been at the border for the longest time, do you know how to deal with it?"

Wen An is Wen Heng's younger brother. Before coming to Epiphyllum Town, Ming Feiqing went to the military camp on the border of Xiqin.

At that time, Wen An cried and knelt in front of him to admit his mistake, blaming himself for his own negligence that caused the king's life and death to be uncertain.

Ming Feiqing didn't blame Wen An, and only asked him to accompany him as a kind of atonement.

Wen An immediately stepped forward and said, "As long as you cover your mouth and nose well and don't touch patients, you won't be infected. Physician Qin, do you think this is feasible?"

Qin Ran nodded approvingly: "On this basis, you should also wear the detoxifying sachet that was distributed to you yesterday, so that nothing will go wrong."

Everyone covered their mouths and noses with fine cloths, and wore detoxifying sachets on their bodies. In order not to startle the snakes, everyone dressed as civilians.

After entering the small town, these elite guards pretended to be strangers and dispersed everywhere to avoid suspicion.

But they are no more than five meters away from Ming Feiqing's position. Once there is danger, they can respond quickly to ensure the safety of the queen.

Following Ming Feiqing were the Wen family brothers, Zhang Qi, and Qin Ran.

Through the white gauze, Ming Feiqing saw countless people covered with poison spots lying on the side of the road. These people didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

When we arrived at the center of the town, there were more living people who could walk, move and talk.

There are still some people here who are not infected with the plague, and a few businessmen are still selling.

Wen Heng inspected the surrounding area and found that only the tables and chairs of the Baozi shop were clean, and the boss with a swollen face was not sick, so he said to Ming Feiqing: "Master, why don't you sit down and rest for a while, and let others check it out. If you have clues, come here and report.”

Although the injury on Ming Feiqing's knee was not as serious as in his previous life, it was somewhat painful these few days due to the exhaustion of traveling and traveling.

He listened to Wen Heng's suggestion and walked into the open-air shop.

The tables and chairs looked dirty, Tian Qing wiped them carefully twice before allowing the young master to sit down.

The owner of the bun shop saw a group of customers from outside the town, and saw that the most eye-catching person among the group of customers was wearing a white veiled hat. Although he couldn't see his face, he was a beauty just by his figure.

He had a wrong idea, wanted to go up to talk to this faceless beauty, but when he was about to approach, someone blocked his way.

Wen An didn't hold a sword in his hand, and he spoke politely. He knew the bad roots of these people, so he took out ten taels of silver: "My son wants to sit here for a while, the boss will help me."

When the boss saw Yinzi, his eyes lit up immediately.

He put the silver into the drawer, specially locked it, then turned back and said, "Sitting here with me, you have to pay."

Wen An said: "I just gave you ten taels."

The boss rascally said: "Did you give it? No one saw you gave the money. How can the silver in my drawer prove that you gave it?"

At this time, the surrounding townspeople gathered around, claiming that Wen An didn't give money—that's how this group of people cheated.

Wen An was furious, and thought that it was important to come out to find His Majesty this time, so he didn't care about these troublemakers, so he endured it, took out another ten taels of silver, and put it into the boss's hand in front of everyone.

As soon as the boss got the money, he immediately pocketed it, turned around and said, "You didn't pay me! You can sit in my chair if you pay me!"

Wen An: "How dare you open your eyes and talk nonsense! They have all seen it!"

The townspeople watching from below said one after another: "If you didn't pay, you didn't pay. Unless you give each of us 100 taels, we can admit that you paid!"

Wen An: "..."

The people in Epiphyllum Town are really greedy and bottomless pits!

The boss thought that they were gentle and easy to bully, so he put on the airs of local snakes and said to Ming Feiqing: "You are well-dressed, and you can't even afford the money? It's okay if you can't afford it, sell yourself, 1000 taels a night A nobleman wants it."

Ming Feiqing didn't even want to give him a look, but only raised his finger.

The next moment, Wen Heng chopped the fat boss to the ground with his palm, grabbed his hair from the back of his head, straightened his neck, and drew out the soft sword at his waist, cutting the blade at the boss's lifeblood.

The townspeople below immediately made a commotion, and all of them swung their kitchen knives to kill the group of intruders, but before they could take a step, they were subdued by the guards hiding around.

Wen Heng cut the boss's flesh and blood, and asked politely: "Have you ever given this money?"

"Give it up, I've given it up! I've given it up!" The boss was terrified, begging for mercy repeatedly: "My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life! The money is given, the money is given!! It's my bad memory, it's my bad memory! !!"

Only with knives on their necks, the townspeople were willing to tell the truth: "Give it! We saw that young master give money with our own eyes! We saw it with our own eyes!"

Only then did Wen Heng let the guards let go, and the townspeople below immediately fled back to their homes, closing the doors and windows tightly, not daring to come out again.

Ming Feiqing glanced around, and saw that the steamed stuffed buns from the bun shop were placed on the open-air table.

If Huaijin is really in Epiphyllum Town, if he is still alive, he will definitely be hungry. He may have been to the bun shop!

He tilted his head slightly, and asked the ugly boss through the veiled hat: "In the past few days, has a man in his early twenties with an arrow in his chest come to your shop to buy food?"

The boss told the truth: "Yes, yes, yes! He is a beggar, but his chest is covered in blood, and it is impossible to tell if it is an arrow wound!"

Ming Feiqing stood up abruptly: "Where is he?!"

He got up too fast, and the wind blew the white gauze, revealing a face that looked like a celestial being.

In such a split second, the boss happened to see it for real. He froze for a moment and couldn't speak.

Wen Heng pressed his sword against his throat: "Say it quickly!"

The boss came back to his senses and said tremblingly: "...he is a beggar, he seems to be by the river, there are beggars everywhere in Epiphyllum Town, I don't know, I don't know..."

His words were incoherent, and he didn't know the truth or falsehood.

Epiphyllum Town is neither big nor small, and there are beggars everywhere.

Moreover, this is a border area, and there are many wounded and deserted soldiers, and people from Xiqin Nanguo are mixed among them.

What the boss said is the same as if he didn't say it.

Ming Feiqing was still not sure about Huaijin's life or death.

Even if Huai Jin is really alive and reduced to a beggar, is it possible for a wounded beggar to survive in this plague-ridden town?

Could there be Huai Ziyu among the corpses everywhere when he first entered the town? !

Ming Feiqing didn't dare to think about it.

Epiphany Town was filled with a rotten stench, which made him want to vomit.

He didn't want to stay here for a long time, and said to Qin Ran and the others: "Go to the river to have a look."

He got up to leave, and Wen Heng also let the boss go.

But when Ming Feiqing passed by him, the boss accidentally grabbed the hem of his clothes and put it in his nose for a deep sniff.

The next moment, a sword pierced his throat.

Wen Heng drew out his soft sword, kicked away the boss's body, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Damn the queen, death is not a pity."
