When the emperor was worried and leaned on the dragon chair and was a little drowsy, a guard hurriedly ran in and knelt in the hall: "Your Majesty, something happened in the courtyard!" ”

The emperor looked ugly: "What's going on again?" ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also arrived at the Zhuangyuan and stopped Commander Chen from setting him on fire."

The emperor frowned deeply: "What does the prince want to do?" ”

……

Just an hour ago:

Chen Jing stood in front of the Zhuang courtyard with a gloomy face, in the courtyard, all the infected people were locked in various rooms, the doors and windows were blocked, and they could only hear the continuous crying, mournful screams and scolding that did not dare to resent from inside.

He killed assassins and thieves, followed the emperor's orders and raided the homes of some high-ranking officials, and even killed the enemy without mercy when he was in the barracks in the early years.

But he had never done such a dehumanizing thing, and he thought that not much of the blood on his hands was innocent.

This will, in this courtyard, I don't know how many innocent people there are, including children, and even, there are eunuchs and palace maids who have had a little friendship with him, usually because of some errands, they have been polite to each other, and there are also his good brothers, who have performed tasks together, drank wine and bragged together, but have black spots!

"Commander." One of the Praetorian guards ran up to him, "It's all ready," and the other hesitated at this point, "Do you really want to set it on fire?" ”

Chen Jing opened his eyes, and he had to say coldly in grief: "Can you disobey the holy decree?" Since it is the emperor's order, there is the emperor's reason, which is better than ...... It's better than infecting more of our brothers. "So far, I can only comfort myself and my brother like this.

He turned his back to the courtyard, raised his hand, and was about to wave it down, when he heard a shout coming from not far away: "Wait, Commander Chen, please wait, don't set fire!" ”

Chen Jing withdrew his hand and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a carriage coming towards this side at great speed, and outside the courtyard, there were also people from Kyoto coming over, because there were their relatives and friends trapped in the courtyard, but they were blocked by the Praetorian Guards, and they could only scream and beg the emperor for mercy.

When the wagon came, there were also peasants with hoes, taking advantage of the gap in the Janissaries to let the carriage pass, trying to rush over.

It can be seen that once these hundreds or thousands of people in the village courtyard are burned alive like this, I don't know how much resentment will be aroused.

Those peasants were arrested back, the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven have a natural awe of the royal family and Tianwei, and they are not forced to have no way out, and there are not many people who rebel by the people, not to mention that in such a short period of time, the scattered people can't really gather together to do things, so this will, there are more people kneeling and begging for mercy, and few people dare to really do anything to the officials, after all, the fire has not yet burned.

The carriage drove to the front, and the one who shouted "wait" before was one of the two guards who drove the car, and after stopping, he opened the door of the carriage, and a handsome little father-in-law came down first, and then the two guards entered the carriage and carried out a man in a wheelchair.

The man was dressed in bright yellow clothes, and his legs were inconvenient when he looked at him, but his natural majesty made people feel that they were so luxurious that they didn't even dare to look at his face.

Chen Jing and the guards and guards next to him knelt down one after another: "See the prince." ”

Fan Shenxi waved his hand to let Chen Jing and them get up, and then looked at the village where the ghost was crying wolf: "Lock everyone up inside and burn them all to death?" ”

"Your Highness, this is the emperor's order, and burning them to death is a last resort, just to avoid more people from being infected."

"Heh," Fan Shenxi's face was grim, "Most of the people in it are just infected, and they haven't gotten sick yet, or even maybe they're sick, so they just burned them alive?" You are a slaughter, a slaughter of innocent people who are powerless against them! ”

His voice was cold, and although he did not yell, it made it clear to the people who were crying or pleading for mercy or just watching.

At that moment, someone shouted in response: "That's right, you are slaughtering, you are killing innocents indiscriminately, let them go, let them go!" ”

"Please, let go of my son, I only have such a son, please, he has guarded the imperial city for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work!"

"You're going to let my brother go......"

"Xiu'er, Xiu'er, don't be afraid, Dad will accompany you immediately, Xiu'er ......"

Everyone's emotions were aroused, and they even rushed to the guards together, wanting to break through the defense line and run over.

Seeing this, Chen Jing hurriedly sent more people to intercept those people, there were enough people who were going to die, he hoped that these people would not be involved anymore, he lowered his voice and said to Fan Shenxi: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the emperor's order, the minister begs you, what is there, wait until you go back, and then ......"

"Then it's too late for anything." Fan Shenxi refused without any face, "The source of the disease has not been found out yet, even if you burn them all, what's the use, it's better to buy time, as long as you find the medicine to save them, at least half of the people can be rescued!" ”

"But ......"

Without waiting for him to say, Fan Shenxi pushed the wheelchair and came to the front of the village, and the little eunuch beside him followed him firmly, and when Fan Shenxi turned around to face everyone, the little eunuch also stood behind him without hesitation.

Hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said sonorously: "As long as this palace is here, you will never be allowed to set fire to these innocent people!" ”

"Yes, we support His Royal Highness the Prince, support His Royal Highness the Prince!"

The people echoed loudly, louder than the other, and the prince's short two sentences completely mobilized the emotions of the people who were still submissive and did not dare to fight with the heavenly family.

"Your Highness!" Chen Jing twisted his eyebrows and took a step forward, his attitude became cold, "The minister is performing official duties, please don't hinder us!" ”

"On official duty?" Fan Shenxi chuckled, then put away his smile, and looked around coldly, "This palace doesn't hinder you, you want to burn this courtyard, right, then, burn this palace together!" ”

The sound of the middle air, like the dragon's breath spitting out, shocked everyone on the spot, and the original noisy sound suddenly quieted down, and even the crying in the house inside stopped, and someone broke the window and stuck on the sealed slat, just in time to be able to see the outside, the faces that could be revealed, and they looked at the prince in disbelief and longing expectation.

Chen Jing's pupils shrank, the rumored prince was hard-hearted, and he would actually say such a thing? Just putting on a show and winning over his few hearts?

But if he cared, how could he have earned a reputation for brutality by killing so many people before?

Looking at the little eunuch behind him, there was no trace of timidity, and the audience stood firmly behind the prince, with a faint ...... on his face Proud?

It is said that what kind of master has what kind of slave, and a little eunuch can still have such courage on such an occasion, this prince, as rumored, cannot be seen through.

"Your Highness!"

He called out and knelt down at him again.

The emperor can't just abolish a prince, let alone how can he burn the prince to death with a small commander.

Maybe the prince made this clear and dared to say such a thing, seeing that the prince looked unwilling to negotiate with him, he had his own guess in his heart.

"Since this palace was able to get the early warning of Taizu and make preventive medicine, then it can also find a way to save it, you go and tell your father, as long as he can save these people from death, this palace is willing to bear it."

Every word is bitten clearly, without the slightest ambiguity, and every word carries enough weight to make people's hearts heavy.

Chen Jing hesitated for a while, but he could only send the guards back to tell the emperor to see what to do next.

Privately, he also hopes that he can cancel the order to burn the black mad patient this time.

After receiving the news, the emperor was furious, threw out the teapot in his hand, and smashed it in front of the guards.

"Nonsense, the prince is just nonsense!"

The guards were lying on the ground, but the matter explained by the commander had to continue: "Your Majesty, Commander Chen has come to inquire about the special minions, what should ......?"

"Since he wants to die, then let him ......" The emperor stopped his mouth in time, and was so angry that he almost scolded the prince for dying, and after he tried to calm down, he asked the eunuch to recruit the prime minister, the cabinet elder and other high-ranking and powerful ministers.

This matter cannot be held solely responsible by an emperor.

"That's thousands of people, and doing this is a sin!"

"Do you want to let the plague continue to spread? According to the old minister's opinion, the source must be found, and these infected people must also be executed! ”

"Lord Zhou, you ......"

"The prince is benevolent, since he has a heart, why not fulfill him?" Taifu touched his beard and spoke slowly in the midst of the quarrels.

Zhou Hengzhi frowned, Taifu has always been neutral, what does this mean: "Do you just let the prince come?" ”

"How could it be Hu Lai," Tai Fu said with a smile, "The infected patients who have been found so far have all been detained in the courtyard, and there is no hurry to execute them, since the prince has the heart to find an antidote, why not give him a chance." ”

"And what if you can't find an antidote?"

Another minister stood up and said, "You can set a time for the prince, but, just in case, the village must be cordoned off, and the prince wants to save them, then ......"

The unfinished words speak for themselves.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor looked at the prime minister who had not said a word since he came in: "Prime minister, do you have any opinions?" ”

The old prime minister stood up and arched his hands, and said solemnly: "The minister thinks that the prince is reasonable, and the old minister is also willing to believe that the prince can find the antidote. ”

He looked at the emperor solemnly, "If the prince still insists, the minister, agree to lock the patient and the prince in the Zhuang courtyard, unless the antidote is found and the patient recovers, otherwise, anyone who enters the Zhuang Yuan will not be allowed to come out again, and if another patient is found, he will also be pressed to the Zhuang Yuan." ”

"What about the source of the disease?" There are also people who are not satisfied with just this, "If you can't find the source of the disease......

"The prince must come for everything," the old prime minister replied unceremoniously, "what do you want!" ”

"You ......"

"Enough!" The emperor glared at the man, and when he turned to the prime minister, his gaze slowed slightly, "Just according to what the prime minister said, I, I will make an order now." ”

It was the prince's own grandfather who agreed to keep the prince and the sick together, and outsiders couldn't blame him as the emperor.

The emperor's mood was a little gloomy, and he didn't have a good face for the people of the other faction: "The director of the sixth division of the inner department, the three armies...... They all called me, I wanted to ask, it's been so long, and I still can't find out what the source is for! ”

……

The guards led the decree back to the village, and when the decree was pronounced, everyone present was a little shocked.

If the prince goes in, he will be dealt with according to the same regulations, and after ten days, there is no antidote, and the patient shows no signs of recovery, then the hospital will still be set on fire.

Chen Jing came to the guard's side: "Are you sure?" That's the Prince! ”

Although it is said that the East Palace has taken precautions in advance, and no one has been infected so far, it does not mean that the prince will not be infected if he stays with people with black madness day and night, not to mention, the prince's noble identity, not to mention the desertion of the village, most of the people in it are lowly slaves, how can it ......

The guard had a bitter face: "It's true, it was unanimously decided by the emperor and those old ministers, and it also includes the prime minister." ”

"Then, this ...... "really want to lock the prince in?"

"Hongu agrees!"

Chen Jing, who was still embarrassed, suddenly looked at the prince when he heard this.

Fan Shenxi didn't have any fear of wanting to retreat on his face, and in his handsome and beautiful face, which even those palace concubines couldn't compare, he was resolute and resolute: "There are only two requirements in this palace, within ten days, there can be no shortage of food and clothes, and also, bring Imperial Doctor Lin to this palace." ”

"Imperial Doctor Lin?" That is the most respected medical skill in the Tai Hospital, even the emperor respects a little, will he be willing to enter this place with the prince, once he enters, he will either be infected, or he will not find the antidote within ten days, and he will be burned to death together!

Fan Shenxi looked up proudly: "He will agree." ”

……

Outside the wall of the huge abandoned village, a high iron net was erected, and the guards, outside the iron net, surrounded the village, and no one who came out of the village was bound to be released.

Each of the guards took the preventive medicine provided by the prince, and although it was not 100%, it could reduce the chance of infection as much as possible.

The gate of the village opened, raising clouds of dust, in front of this gate, Fan Shenxi, who was in a wheelchair, should be small, but he could proudly look down on the village like a mountain.

"Let's go inside." He said lightly, as if he was just going to a place with green mountains and clear waters.

"Hmm!" Qiu Xiaobei nodded firmly, pushing the wheelchair to walk slowly inside.

She said that once the virus breaks out, it will be very troublesome, although there is medicine, but she is not sure what kind of effect it can have, so Fan Shenxi's trip cannot discount the danger because they may make an antidote.

You know, not to mention that they are also at risk of being infected, there are thousands of people in it, if they can't be appeased, once there is a riot, there are only a few of them, and the consequences are unimaginable.

The back of her hand was put on the back, she looked down, and saw him holding her hand, she lowered her head and smiled playfully at him: "Don't worry about me, whoever is infected, the minion will not be infected." ”

Because he was pregnant and afraid that she would be infected, he didn't want her to follow him several times, but this plague, without her, Lin Ziyi alone probably couldn't solve it, and besides, if she wasn't there, what if her highness was unlucky.

At this point, Fan Shenxi tightened her hand and let go, looked ahead, and entered the gate of the village together.

Behind them, Lin Ziyi also came, carrying a large medical box, and the guards who escorted him around him also carried a large medical box, since he was going to study the antidote, he couldn't come out again after that, the tools were definitely indispensable, and there was a cart full of various medicinal materials behind him, Chen Jing only checked it a little, and then let them pass.

Normal people's thinking: Anyway, even if you take any gold, silver and jewelry, it is useless in it.

A prince, a serving eunuch, a physician, two guards, no one hesitated, the guards, the soldiers, and the people who were blocking the outermost side witnessed them entering, and then looked at the gate of the village, and closed it with a "bang", isolating the world from hell.

No matter what the prince was like before, the appearance at this moment was deeply engraved in the minds of everyone present, and even Chen Jing, who had many doubts about the prince before, rose up with admiration.

He sighed, hoping that the prince could come out safely.

……

In the courtyard, there are many houses, including the main house, the ear room, and the backyard, but the backyard is more desolate.

At this time, the rooms in front of them were all closed, and they broke the windows, and one by one they were stuck on the crossbar and watched Fan Shen Xi them.

Fan Shenxi glanced at it and raised his voice: "After a while, this palace will let you out, but this palace has a request, in the next ten days, you must obey all the arrangements of this palace, this palace promises, after ten days, I will definitely take you out of here, if not, you can try, ten days after the taste of being burned." ”

The last sentence was so cold and fierce that when the people in the house heard it, they were in awe of the prince, and they respected him for risking his life to come in to save them, and feared his majesty and coldness.

Of course, there are many people who have different minds.

But no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, when Fan Shenxi asked the two guards who followed him to pry the horizontal wood open and let them out, they were all quite obedient, but they were afraid of being locked up in it and almost burned to death.

Of course, at this time, those who were able to come out and stand in the entire front yard were all infected with black spots on their bodies, but they had not yet developed the disease, so Fan Shenxi asked them to form a team, a team of fifty people, a total of twelve teams, and there were more than ten left, that is, just those who were infected, there were already more than 600 people.

Fortunately, this village is not as small as the royal courtyard, but it is not too small, and it should still be able to live.

These people are not only the palace maids and eunuchs and guards who serve in the palace, but also those around the palace who have been infected, and they have also been pressed over, crowded in this courtyard, and the black pressure is full of heads.

Qiu Xiaobei and Fan Shenxi glanced at each other, nodded their heads and signaled to each other, she stood in front of Fan Shenxi, in front of all the patients, she had no internal strength, so she made a simple microphone by herself, and pasted a sound amplification note in it, which could increase her volume without being too suspicious.

"The first thing we did was to clean this village, only a good environment can be conducive to the health of the body, and it can also better get rid of the virus, after a while, six groups will be responsible for cleaning and cleaning, and six groups will work with me to take care of those patients who are sick......

"Why do we have to take care of those people, we, can we not go, what if we get sick?"

Before Qiu Xiaobei finished speaking, someone protested.

"Ahem!"

Fan Shen coughed lightly, and quickly shut up.

Qiu Xiaobei put his hand behind his back, gave Fan Shenxi a thumbs up, and continued with a calm face: "You have all been infected, when the disease occurs, it depends on the impact of the poison in your body, not that people who are close to the disease will also follow the disease." Besides, the antidote, we really don't know when it will be made, in the past ten days, you don't know who will get sick in the next second, do you also want to let yourself be abandoned in the corner and left unattended by no one to take care of yourself when you get sick? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Those who help others will always help them, since we are all here, we should unite and help each other, not for others, but for yourself! Our goal is to be able to leave here together and return to our original warm home, isn't it? ”

Human nature is selfish, and there is absolutely no more than half of the people who will help others when they are in trouble, and half of the remaining half have lost their will and give up on themselves, let alone care about others.

So Qiu Xiaobei didn't say how great it was, just said if he wanted to help himself, and if he wanted to leave here.

A man who looked in good spirits raised his voice and said: "Just say what you want, if my old Ji didn't have His Royal Highness the Prince, it is estimated that he would have been burned to death, and I can see it, no one cares whether we live or die, only the prince has a noble and comfortable life, and ran to this ghost place, for what, not for us, if there is anyone else who can save us and take us out, then only the prince!" ”

He stepped forward: "I will do what you ask me to do, everything is subject to the dispatch of His Royal Highness the Prince, if anyone is disobedient, I will be the first to let him go!" ”

said so, but if it weren't for Qiu Xiaobei's above words, it is estimated that many people would be reluctant to contact the sick person, but people like Lao Ji are needed to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm more, and many things will be more convenient to do.

Qiu Xiaobei picked out the team leader and deputy team leader in each group, and assigned them to two sides, one side did the cleaning, and the one who always led the team was a guard on their side, and the other guard followed Fan Shenxi as a personal guard, this is Qiu Xiaobei's request, everything you want to do, it doesn't matter if it's big or small, the premise is to ensure that her Royal Highness is safe and sound.

Fan Shenxi led the guards to push the wheelchair, wanting to turn the entire village around, to be here for ten days, he is the leader, naturally he must know the pattern of this place, all aspects are very good, in order to facilitate future planning.

Qiu Xiaobei and Lin Ziyi went with another team to deal with those patients who had already developed the disease.
