So, that night, it was particularly lively outside Youzhou City.

On the third shift at night, the corpses of the refugees suddenly caught fire, and countless refugees were hurt by the blinding eyes of the skyrocketing fire in their sleep, and subconsciously opened their eyes, only to see that the bodies of their relatives were being ignited by the fire little by little.

"Oh no, it's on fire......"

"Help, it's on fire......"

"It's on fire, run quickly, run ...... fast"

Countless sharp screams pierced the sky, and the smell of charred and rancid corpses was particularly pungent wherever the firelight passed, gradually filling the air.

Refugees scramble to find the bodies of their loved ones in the fire.

But the corpses were poured with oil, and the wind was even more violent, and as soon as they approached, the fire followed the direction of the wind and ignited the rags on their bodies, and quickly spread throughout their bodies.

The refugees were too busy to take care of themselves, struggling in the flames, slapping each other's fire, and finally leaving the bodies of their loved ones and running away.

The fire burned for a day and a night, until half of the sky became fiery red.

On the second day, before dawn, the reddened sky outside the city was still not receding.

The morning breeze was wrapped in the morning mist, and it was eerie, as if the gates of hell were wide open, and everyone present felt a chill down their spines.

On both sides of the devastated official road, countless ashes were blown away by the wind and fluttered to the ground.

The refugees sat in the grass covered with morning dew by the meager light of the morning light, crying and crying, and their faces full of sorrow.

The sound of bitter crying was not heard, and it drifted over the walls into the city.

The morning dawns, when the first warm rays of sunlight fall.

The gates of the city, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened slowly.

"The Door Opens ......"

When the refugees heard the commotion, they wiped their tears and looked at the city gate.

Dozens of imperial physicians, as in the past, set up a table at the gate of the city, and sat upright, deaf to what was happening outside the city.

In fact, the people in the noisy city outside the city heard it clearly last night, at that time, the hundreds of soldiers were standing behind the city gate, waiting for the change to come together, and then open the city gate to suppress it.

Thankfully, things didn't get out of hand. While their hearts were pounding, the soldiers were silently sweating for their Emperor Majesty in the bottom of their hearts.

The destruction of corpses is a choice that has to be made for the sake of the living. But if it is said more ugly, it is equivalent to the Son of Heaven not knowing the suffering of the people, and he will completely lose the support of the people.

The morning breeze is blowing, as cold as thin ice.

The refugees were stunned at first when they saw the figures coming out of the city, and their hearts were inexplicably sad and indignant, and then they supported each other and stumbled towards the city gate. The tear-stained face can still be seen after the fire.

Imperial Physician Lin stood at the gate of the city, and when his wrinkled old face saw that the scene was full of desolation, he took a step forward, and the old voice sounded. "Your Majesty has ordered that those who want to enter the city must first disinfect with alcohol, and only after confirming that they are not infected with the plague can they enter the city."

As soon as he said this, the people present were in an uproar.

"Why?"

Last night's fire came without warning, apparently deliberately set on fire.

Rao is illiterate, but they also know the truth.

Nowadays, in and around Youzhou City, refugees like them who are infected with the plague abound, which is not surprising.

Therefore, last night's fire does not need to be guessed to know who was responsible.

At this time, among the commotion of the refugees, someone shouted loudly: "I heard that Your Majesty is in Youzhou City, we want to meet Your Majesty......"

"Yes, we want to meet Your Majesty."

One of them spoke, and the others all had the courage to follow suit, and they also began to coax, shouting loudly: "Yes, last night the fire outside the city burned for a day and a night, and it is impossible for the soldiers in the city to guard the city not to know, but they did not move for a long time, and pretended not to hear anything. Now that the bodies of our loved ones have been destroyed by fire, Your Majesty must give us an explanation......"

"We've got to get an explanation."

Every word is aimed at Su Yitong.

"What is the emperor going to do next?" On the city wall, Su Yitong was wrapped by Feng Feiyi and held in his arms.

Su Yitong frowned and did not speak.

Yesterday, the fire burned all night, and she had long expected today's results, so she would ask Fengyue to call Feng Feiyi early in the morning and ask him to take her here to find out.

But clearly, the effect of this is significant. Many well-intentioned people who are involved in the refugees are gradually revealing their true colors.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that she didn't answer, Feng Feiyi's brows furrowed slightly, a little uneasy.

"Huh?" Su Yitong came back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at him. "What's wrong?"

Feng Feiyi looked back at her, looked at her, and said in a gentle voice: "The fire outside the city last night has become a means used by the people behind it to deal with His Majesty, so what are you going to do next?" ”

With a sharp look in his eyes, Su Yitong looked away at the refugees who were still shouting under the city wall, and said seriously word by word: "Let's make sure if they are infected with the plague first." ”

Right now, it's more important than finding out who is behind it, or the plague.

"Okay." Feng Feiyi nodded. "Then I'll send Your Majesty back first?"

Su Yitong didn't notice that Feng Feiyi's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed king had been changed to me. She pursed her lips and said, "Wait a little longer......"

"Huh?"

Feng Feiyi looked at her suspiciously, and saw that her pale little face was still sickly white, and she couldn't help but worry again.

Yunqing is already on his way back to the capital, and if he travels day and night, it will take at least three days to come and go.

And her fuss last night had clearly angered the refugees. What will happen next is unknown.

And it was only at this moment that he suddenly understood the intention of the person behind it. When they came to Youzhou, they were assassinated many times, but every time, those killers seemed to be fighting with them on the surface, but the proportions of their attacks were just right, and as long as Su Yitong was injured, they would quickly evacuate.

At first, he hadn't thought much of it.

But after a few days, he understood. The reason why the people behind this did this was just to make Su Yitong seriously injured and have no intention of dealing with the plague, so that she would completely lose the support of the people in order to achieve her own goals.

Since ancient times, if the emperor has no one to support him, it will be no different from the abolished emperor.

Presumably, this is also the reason why Youzhou City is so quiet in these days when Su Yitong is in a coma.

"Feng Feiyi, when you are ready, you will personally go to the place where the people in the city are imprisoned, and release them all." She is not afraid of anything else, but there are countless people in Youzhou City, and she is afraid that if the prefect of Youzhou does not handle it properly, the people of the entire city will be infected with the plague.

At that time, her reputation as a faint monarch is probably a foregone conclusion.

"Why?" Feng Feiyi is still puzzled. Isn't the time to think about what to do with the refugees outside the city? Looking at her appearance, it is obvious that the point is not on this.

"I'm afraid that the plague will spread suddenly." The peach blossom eyes were slightly sunk, and Su Yitong's voice suddenly dropped several degrees in the cool morning breeze.

"Also, whether it's outside the city or inside the city, remember to have people sprinkle some drinks......"

After saying this, she closed her eyes a little tiredly, opened a small mouth, and tightly pursed a line.

Last night, out of worry, she sat on the head of the bed and sat all night, and it was just dawn, so she couldn't wait to let Feng Feiyi carry her to the windy city wall on all sides.

She was already in poor health, and no matter how tightly she was wrapped, it was difficult to block the cold wind.

Feng Feiyi's obsidian-like eyes couldn't help but flash a look of distress, and he hugged her tighter. "Tired? Shall I send you back? ”

"It's fine." This time, Su Yitong did not refuse, she rubbed her forehead tiredly, leaned on his chest and closed her eyes to rest.

"Okay."

Feng Feiyi hooked his lips, hugged her and walked back. Looking down closely, the eyes of the person in his arms are closed, and the fluttering eyelashes are like grass swaying in the wind, lush, gently swaying, very beautiful.

He lowered his eyes and gave her a kiss on the forehead, and chuckled, "Sleep, when you wake up, everything will be fine." ”

Outside the city, the noise continued, and Imperial Physician Lin helped his forehead with a headache, and said, "Your Majesty encountered an assassin a few days ago, and now he is seriously injured and can't walk......

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone suddenly interrupt him and said: "You are lying, you bad old man, you said this a few days ago, it has been a few days, you still say this, what is it if you are not lying?!" ”

"yes...... yes......"

The refugees began to whisper under the man's leadership.

"He's right, if you want me to see it, it should be that the incompetent emperor saw that the plague was so bad that he couldn't hold it back, so he hid in Youzhou City......"

"Yes, it must be so. The emperor has not done a decent good thing since he ascended the throne, and he would not be a good Ming monarch, otherwise he would not have let us fend for ourselves, but she herself hid in the city to enjoy the blessings. ”

Someone chimed in: "No matter what, we must meet the emperor today and ask for an explanation." ”

"We want to see the emperor......"

"This ......" Imperial Doctor Lin stood up in embarrassment, not knowing what to do.

Last night, what happened outside the city, these imperial doctors also knew about it. And when this was carried out, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent had personally asked them about the advantages and disadvantages of burning the corpses.

In the end, after their unanimous affirmation, they chose to destroy the corpse.

But at the moment, it seems that these ignorant refugees are not aware of their suffering, and instead use this to spread rumors and make trouble, which can not help but make them feel cold.

See...... This is the sorrow of the human heart.

You save his life, and he only thinks that is what you deserve, and never says gratitude or gratitude.

And so many people, but even Fengyue's five or six-year-old little girl can't compare, I don't know why.

I really don't know whether to say that their Emperor Majesty has good intentions, or to ask for their own suffering.

"Hey......" The doctors got up one after another, picked up the medicine box and were about to go back.

Looking at today's posture, they can't see the doctor, they might as well go back and read the medical books as soon as possible, so that they can find a cure for the plague as soon as possible.

However, before they could turn around, the refugees did not follow, and even flew directly and stopped in front of them, and said viciously: "Whoever of you dares to leave today, I will kill him......
