Hongyi has always been loyal to Mo Bai's side, and even if it is critical, he must save his life first. Mo Bai never expected that he would dare to be so ruthless this time and take the opportunity to ambush the two. The eldest prince would not have thought that he would be able to escape death and escape the catastrophe. Mo Bai planned to return to the Zhao Kingdom after his body was well healed, and settle accounts with the eldest prince Qiuhou.

Zhuo Yu couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Mo Bai, it seemed that he was very beautiful, his status was noble, and he was the third prince who everyone admired, but only he knew the sadness and pain in it. It should be a brotherhood that is thicker than water, but now because of the throne and power, the two brothers have turned against each other, and they have to fight to the death.

"And what's next for you?" Zhuo Yu asked.

"Even if you can go back, it's still a long time later. Presumably, the eldest prince has already told King Zhao about your delay in appearing. Yu Chijin said on the side.

This step of the great prince is wonderful. If Mobai can be successfully killed this time, then it will be announced to the public that Mobai was unfortunately contaminated with a vicious disease and died in this plague; Even if Mo Bai can escape death, since King Zhao ordered him to be in charge of the epidemic, he has been reluctant to come forward, and afterwards King Zhao will definitely feel that Mo Bai is deliberately escaping responsibility, and he will still blame him. Now is an important moment for the establishment of the prince, if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Zhuo Yu asked curiously.

"Tell your father about the ambush you were found on the road, and that's why you have to be a little late." Zhuo Yu thought a little naïvely.

"It's useless." Mo Bai said. Because this question is not to believe in each other at all, even if you believe it, what about it? King Zhao also knew that the two brothers were incompatible, but this plague had to let the two of them be responsible together. The real purpose of King Zhao doing this was to formally elect someone who could inherit the canon. Children of the royal family, competition is inevitable, if Mo Bai dies because of the assassination of the eldest prince this time, King Zhao is estimated to not be sad, no matter what method is used, as long as one person survives, then that person has the ability to inherit the throne.

After Lian Cheng explained this to Zhuo Yu on the side, Zhuo Yu came to his senses. She looked at Mo Bai's appearance of bowing her head and not making her hair, and suddenly felt a very sad mood.

"Whatever you want, you have to pay a price, let alone the throne." Lian Cheng said.

"But as long as I find this cure for the plague first, the great prince will still not be able to compare to me." Mo Bai said indignantly.

Early the next morning, Zhuo Yu went out again to investigate the plague, wanting to see if there were any new clues. As he was walking on the road, he heard a little girl crying not far away. Zhuo Yu felt uncomfortable for a while, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Little girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

After the child saw Zhuo Yu, he got up and took a few steps back, and said, "Sister stay away from me, my father has passed away." ”

After Zhuo Yu heard this, tears almost didn't flow out. The child was only eight or nine years old, his clothes were tattered, his face was haggard, and he was hungry and full. Zhuo Yu asked distressedly: "Are you the only one left in your family?" ”

The boy shook his head and said, "No, I still have my mother and grandmother." ”

Zhuo Yu's exposure to the plague in the past few days has been either the death of the whole family, or the fact that the family has nothing to do. It's the first time I've encountered this situation, could it be that there is something new about this plague?

"When did your dad die?" Zhuo Yu asked curiously.

As soon as the little girl heard this, she couldn't stop crying again. Zhuo Yu was a little distressed and handed her her handkerchief, considering that he didn't know what it was infected by, he didn't dare to help her wipe her tears.

"Three, three days ago...... Walked. The little girl said.

The onset of the disease is very rapid, and once it is contagious, the symptoms will be immediate, and then the person will die within seven days. Zhuo Yu looked at the family and there should be some signs of illness, but the little girl in front of him didn't vomit, although she looked a little yellow and thin, but she was very energetic.

"Sister, is anyone in your family experiencing symptoms of vomiting?" Zhuo Yu asked.

The little girl blinked, thought about it, and said, "No." ”

It's really strange that this family would have such a special situation. Zhuo Yu was about to go in and ask about her mother, when the family came out.

"Swallow, didn't you say you wouldn't let you run around! If something happens to you again, what will I do to tell your daddy! Swallow's mother had a sad face, as if she had just cried.

"Mother, I'm thinking about Daddy." Swallow cried. When the woman heard the swallow's words, the grief that she had managed to suppress collapsed in an instant because she heard her daughter's words.

The woman's tears could not be stopped, but she still said to the swallow, "It is a good thing that your father does not have to suffer." ”

Zhuo Yu was also a little touched when he saw the scene in front of him. At this time, she suddenly understood one thing, people often regret how pitiful the dead person was, and they couldn't help but express great sympathy for the dead person in their hearts. But in fact, the most important thing to care about is those who have passed away and those relatives around them.

The deceased is gone, and it has become an immutable fact. But those who once loved them, those who cared about them but lived in this world, are the ones who should be most sympathetic.

This was true of Madame Butterfly in the past, and so was Min'er. Death is not scary, it is too easy to die. Only if you choose to live all the time, that is the real warrior.

Zhuo Yu also secretly wiped his tears on the side, and then asked: "I am Lang Zhong specifically to find out about this epidemic, may I ask what uncomfortable reactions do you have now?"

The woman hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "It may be the child's father's blessing, although he died of the plague, but the three of us did not feel any discomfort."

Zhuo Yu thought that this was almost impossible, and always felt that there was something strange about it, so he continued to ask: "Do you remember what your father-in-law did seven days before he died?"

Zhuo Yu now speculates that the soldiers who came to be stationed in charge of burying the corpses before this time were almost not spared, and it is estimated that they have something to do with some parts of the corpses that have been in contact with them.

After hearing this, the woman thought about it carefully and said, "Our family has always lived honestly and dutifully."
