The system pits me and destroys the heroine

There were fewer people with fever in the city than expected, which was a blessing in misfortune. These people were all placed in the same cell, and the yamen servants sent over the little food left, but none of them ate.

"Anyway, we can't survive, so leave the food to others!"

In this cell, most of them are older people. One of them is the mother of the infected person in the temple. She made the sausage. It was this old woman who almost fainted from crying yesterday.

The old woman was already so skinny that she didn't even have the strength to speak, but she was still answering Xia Ningle's question seriously, even when she heard the source of the pork, her expression didn't fluctuate too much.

The butcher Zhu bought the meat from the dealers in the imperial city, and the dealers bought it from the eunuchs in the palace. It is said that these pork meats were exclusively for the emperor. Just a few months ago, for some reason, these pigs were They were quietly processed and burned. The eunuchs in the palace only burned a small part of the pigs, and the remaining pigs were sold to northern Xinjiang.

The strange thing is that these pigs are very edible, even the other pigs can't grab the food, and they are getting thinner and thinner. The butcher has no choice but to kill and sell these pigs, but after a few days, his own pigs also become That's it.

The butcher who was locked in the prison was ashamed: "If I knew that there was something wrong with these pigs, I would never buy them for cheap."

"Do you still remember the specific time to buy pork?"

"About four or five months ago."

After careful calculation, it should be the time when the emperor was not in court, Xia Ningle hurried back to the courtyard and told Si Qinglian the news.

Si Qinglian had already changed into a long dress, and the silver thread shone brightly under the light. A little black hair was coiled on the top of her head, which was fixed with a silver hairpin. Her face without makeup looked cold, like snow lotus in winter.

Xia Ningle's eyes were straightened.

Si Qinglian said lightly: "I have already guessed that something happened to the emperor. He Shikun has repeatedly forged imperial edicts, just for the sake of imperial power."

Although she spoke lightly, her eyes still couldn't hide the sadness. Her guesses were inaccurate and unreliable, at least there was still a sliver of hope, but Xia Ningle gave the answer directly, which directly extinguished the hope.

Xia Ningle is not good at comforting people, so she can only quietly accompany her. Around noon, Geng Zhi rushed to hug him, saying that Chen Zhaoxia blocked him from outside the house, and when he climbed over the wall to enter, Chen Zhaoxia was having dinner with everyone , has already infected the whole family.

"Your Highness, what should I do now?" Geng Zhi asked.

"Go, let's go and have a look."

Xia Ningle went with her, she wondered why Chen Zhaoxia intentionally infected that family, maybe there was some deep hatred.

The family of Chen Zhaoxia's relatives seems to be quite rich, the house is bigger than the usual courtyard house, besides, they can still store food at this time, so it can be seen that they are also well-connected people.

The arrival of the guards surrounded the door with many people. Everyone knows that this is a special period, and everyone knows about any movement. When they saw Xia Ningle, they stepped forward to say hello. Si Qinglian is the princess. , well-dressed and noble, naturally alienated people, and they didn't even dare to look at her directly.

There were six people in the room, apart from Chen Zhaoxia, the woman and man standing at the front were obviously the masters of the house, and there was also an old woman and her third son, all of them looked incomprehensible and confused.

After Geng Zhi explained to them, the woman immediately lost her manners, and rushed forward to catch Chen Zhaoxia for questioning, but was dragged by Geng Zhi, Geng Zhi was so strong that the woman struggled in vain, she could only stare at Chen Zhaoxia hoarsely .

"Why did you kill our family?"

Chen Zhaoxia smiled and said: "Naturally, I will repay my grievances. I suffered a lot when I was fostered in your family. Later, when my father was sentenced to be executed, my father begged you to agree that I am your daughter, but you did not How did you do it?"

Chen Zhaoxia is a concubine. She was told by alchemists that she would kill her elder brother when she was just born. For the eldest son, her grandmother sent her here. Chen Zhaoxia only sees her family every few years. All these years, she has lived in an indifferent He grew up in such an environment, but he didn't expect that he was the one who really killed his brother. The bully kicked him to the iron plate, and he was so tired that the whole family suffered together. It's really ridiculous.

"I didn't treat you well enough, but at least I raised you. It's better to be kind than to be kind. How can you treat us like this?" The woman's eyes were red.

Chen Zhaoxia sneered.

"You are not as good as a beast..." The old woman poked the ground with her cane, and the grandchildren beside her were so frightened that they cried.

"Hehe, you collect a lot of money from my father every year, but since I was a child, I didn't have any good clothes. It's useless to say more, anyway, you have already eaten the food." Chen Zhaoxia raised the knife mark on her fingertips and said, " It has my blood in it."

The old woman waved the crutch in her hand, but Chen Zhaoxia hid her, the woman went mad and struggled, Geng Zhi only held her firmly with one hand to prevent her from hurting others.

"Okay, send them to quarantine."

After Si Qinglian spoke, the soldiers surrounded him. The man who had been silent all of a sudden suddenly saluted Si Qinglian respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, it is still unknown whether our family has been infected, but we can't rely on her One-sided words lock us together with the infected!"

"That's right, if we are not infected, but are locked up in such a place and get sick, will His Highness bear the responsibility?" The woman echoed.

Si Qinglian glanced at the woman.

Geng Zhi coldly reprimanded: "Bold."

"If you can't be bold at this moment, do you want our family to die?" The woman put her eyes on the third son, "have pity on my son!"

Xia Ning was happy to see Si Qinglian's eyes were somber and silent, she stood in front of her and said, "Okay, you guys should send people to quarantine quickly, and you too, Chen Zhaoxia."

Chen Zhaoxia just smiled.

"No, I won't go..." The woman struggled desperately, Geng Zhi's grip was too tight, she could only focus on Xia Ningle.

"Miss Xia, I know you are kind-hearted, please save my children, it doesn't matter what I do, please..."

Chen Zhaoxia on the side sneered: "Why are you pretending to be pitiful? Your sons are almost thirty and still can't leave their mother. It's better to go with them."

"Shut up, it's all your fault!"

Seeing that there was no hope, the woman turned her head and went to bite the man. She reacted quickly, let go of the man and retreated. The woman turned around and rushed towards Xia Ningle when she was free. Si Qinglian's eyes turned cold, and she kicked him.

The woman fell to the ground, she clutched her throbbing abdomen and laughed: "Now she is scratched by me, if I get infected, she will get infected too, hahaha..."

There was a scratch on the corner of Xia Ningle's mouth, and the skin was bleeding. She stretched out her hand and touched it lightly. The pain made her grin, and said: "Infected people can only infect people with blood and worm eggs in the mouth, and ordinary trauma cannot something."

"It's okay if you say it's okay!"

As soon as the woman got up from the ground, she was knocked down by Geng Zhi with a punch. Seeing this, the whole family beat Geng Zhi desperately, but their fists were too slow, and Geng Zhi dodged one by one, so they embraced Geng Zhi and came It was a barbaric way of fighting and rolling, and the soldiers pulled them away with knives on their necks.

"Everyone come and see!" The woman yelled, "Miss Xia is also infected, but His Highness wants to protect her. This is betting our lives!"

There were a lot of people gathered at the door, eager to squeeze in to have a better look, but now hearing what the woman said, whether they believed it or not, everyone was panicked.

"Really? Miss Xia is also infected?"

"No way, such a nice person..."

The crowd was noisy, and Xia Ningle couldn't hear clearly, she only felt a burning pain in the corner of her mouth, and the woman still refused to let go, saying that Si Qinglian was covering up, and someone saw the wound on the corner of Xia Ningle's mouth and believed it.

"Miss Xia is really infected!"

"Your Highness, why don't you isolate the person first?"

Everyone in Jiangcheng knows about Xia Ningle, and everyone admires her. Even if she is infected, they still want to show her face, instead of impromptuly being locked up with others, just like how she would show face to others back then. .

Woman: "Your Highness, can you hear the public opinion?"

"You are really noisy." Si Qinglian sat on the chair with a straight back, turning a deaf ear to other people's words, "You have repeatedly offended me, and you will be punished twenty times."

"what……"

Without waiting for the woman to call out, the soldier held down the person and greeted her with the hilt of the knife. The rest of the people were also pushed to the ground. Except for the old woman, their wailing sound reached everyone's ears, and they all felt palpitations and fear. .

Seeing that Si Qinglian was so talkative, they almost forgot that she was the princess of Changle. The word "Changle" conferred by the current emperor himself was to hope that Si Qinglian could live a happy and peaceful life.

"what……"

The screams were like a needle, waking everyone up. The old woman seemed to have resigned herself to her fate. She sat paralyzed and couldn't say anything. The calmest man yelled the loudest. Tired, his eyes longed to scratch Xia Ningle.

"What's the matter, don't you agree?"

Not only were they dissatisfied, they were suddenly told that their family was infected. They were desperate, so they longed to get someone to tell them that it was okay: "Yes, if we were really infected, why would she be fine with a little trauma? What evidence is there?"

They had just arrived in Jiangcheng, and they hadn't had time to inform them about how the corpse puppets mutated and infected. Xia Ningle's mouth alone was indeed hard to convince.

While she was in a trance, she suddenly smelled the clear fragrance of lilies, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Si Qinglian standing in front of her at some point. Si Qinglian's gaze was soft and focused, and that fiery gaze was so hot that it was hard to ignore.

Xia Ningle's heart skipped a beat.

Si Qinglian leaned over, and before she could react, she kissed the corner of Xia Ningle's mouth lightly, and licked the wound at the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue.

Xia Ningle almost died of suffocation, touched the residual temperature on the wound with his fingertips, he was dumbfounded, and couldn't think.

"In this way, she and I will have one life."
