The surrounding officials knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, and drops of cold sweat fell to the ground down their cheeks, already terrified to the extreme.

This sacrifice to heaven is not ominous, but a curse! Otherwise, why did the altar, which had been strong for a hundred years, suddenly collapse, and the Tongtian Pillar Stone almost killed the king, could it be said that the Qi of the Dayong Dynasty was really exhausted? Thinking of the recent general headquarters, the officials are becoming more and more bottomless in their hearts. If the skin does not survive, the people will not be able to live, how long can the country, the monarch, and the officials survive?

Yue Jingyun staggered to his feet, his forehead was scratched by the falling shards of the stones, and the blood was dripping down, making his already distorted face even more terrifying because of anger. He looked at the people running around him, and the violence in his heart could no longer be stopped: "The emperor lost his manners, kill, kill them all!" ”

"The Emperor's ......"

The Ministry of Rites hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the people are panicked for a while, please forgive the emperor for ......"

Yue Jingyun rolled his eyes upward, revealing a large area of the whites of his eyes, and revealed an extremely gloomy expression when he heard the words: "You arranged this sacrifice to the sky, and you still have the face to plead with me, come here, kill him, kill him together!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's not a pity to die slightly, but the people are innocent, please ask the emperor for three or four......" Most of the people were arranged by him, in order to help the emperor sing praises and praise virtues, and through this sacrifice to the sky to stabilize the hearts of the people, there are thousands of people, if they are all killed, this killing will make him fall into the eighteen layers of hell and not be able to pay it off.

"Kill!" Yue Jingyun strode out of the fragments of the altar, took out a long sword from the guard's hand, and slashed it at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, his head fell to the ground, and he was blinded, and the warm blood stains sprayed on the bright yellow dragon robe, and the color became more and more vivid, "What, do you want me to do it myself?" ”

The people were already in complete disarray, desperately rushing away from the guards of the surrounding soldiers and fleeing in all directions. They all heard the order under Yue Jingyun just now, there is no forgiveness for killing, there is no forgiveness for killing! If you don't run away, your life will be gone!

The stunned guards around came back to their senses and looked at the unarmed people around them, unable to swing the butcher's knife in their hands. It's not one or two lives, it's thousands......

Seeing that no one obeyed his will, Yue Jingyun's face turned purple: "Presumptuous...... Licentious! You guys...... I will put you to death, I will put you all to death!" Suddenly, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and a rock suddenly flew over and hit the back of his head, and then his eyes went black, and he was no longer conscious.

The people fled one after another, and the Praetorian Guards hurriedly stepped forward to protect Yue Jingyun and did not stop them.

The third prince, Yue Xiaohan, walked over quickly with someone, and ordered in a cold voice: "The Praetorian Guard escorted my father back to the palace, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department led people to investigate, such a solid altar suddenly collapsed, it is absolutely impossible to be artificial." Jingzhao Mansion Yin appeased the people, strictly controlled the imperial capital, and did not spread any unpleasant gossip. ”

"Yes......"

Yue Xiaohan escorted the emperor to leave quickly. But the speed of the rumors spread faster, and they couldn't help it, Yue Jingyun was in a coma for three days and didn't wake up, and the rumors had already spread everywhere.

Ten days later, the epidemic in Yunnan has been initially controlled, the number of deaths is decreasing day by day, and the haze that has been suppressed over the head of Yunli City has gradually dissipated. Mu Yunlan returned to the backyard and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the soft couch.

In the past few days, she has to shuttle around the disaster area every day, diagnosing and treating patients all the time, because with silver needles, her wrist has hurt and she has no feeling, her shoulders and waist are hurting, and even when she sleeps at night, her dreams are full of patients. Fortunately, after surviving the last darkness, I finally saw the dawn.

In the study, Yue Jingxuan looked at the newspaper in his hand, his deep eyes flowed, and a faint smile rose.

Tianshu reported: "Master, the emperor's sacrifice ceremony has been completely ruined, and now, the people in the imperial capital are in a panic, coupled with the foreshadowing you planted before, the emperor's reputation is completely ruined, and now the people are saying that the emperor is not worthy of being the king, and he angered the heavens, so he sent down the heavenly punishment." Moreover, the three princes deliberately promoted the development of rumors, and seemed to want to replace the emperor. ”

When the prince and the princess got married, the emperor blocked it with more clouds, and then no rain fell, and there were rumors in the imperial capital that the emperor angered the heavens and broke up the match made in heaven that God was optimistic about, which caused the drought to continue. The next locust plague confirmed this kind of remarks. Coupled with the failure of the sacrifice to heaven now, the emperor's notoriety has become a certainty.

"The royal brother always thought that Yue Xiaohan had a docile temperament, and even if he had fangs, he was just bluffing like a dog, but he didn't know that this son seemed to be tame, but in fact he had already transformed into a wolf. Moreover, he is also a fierce hungry wolf. "Yue Xiaohan was indeed pure and gentle at the beginning, but he experienced asking for nothing, realized that he was powerless, and saw the monstrous power, no matter how docile he was, he couldn't get his big heart back.

"Master, do you need us to add another fire to the imperial capital?"

"No, notify Kaiyang, let him always pay attention to the emperor's movements, if the three princes seek power and usurp the throne, you must do your best to help the emperor clean up the monarch's side, and don't let the traitors succeed." He painstakingly arranged for so long, burying the dark line of Kaiyang, not to make wedding dresses for others, he sabotaged the sacrifice to the sky, in order to suppress Yue Jingyun's arrogance and create a respite for Yunnan, rather than giving away the fruit. Yue Xiaohan wants to replace Yue Jingyun, but it also depends on whether he agrees.

"Yes, master, by the way, the princess came back just now and has gone to the backyard."

Yue Jingxuan took the finger of the report and paused: "Well, you can step down." ”

When Tianshu withdrew, he immediately put down the report, got up and tidied up his clothes, and walked through the side door to the backyard.

The courtyard was quiet, and Qingsleeve and Bizhu were not there. Yue Jingxuan moved his eyebrows slightly, thinking about finding a few more intimate maids for Yun Lan, who was fine when she was originally a young lady of the Mu family, but now that she has become a princess, she has a lot of things to deal with, only the green sleeves and Bizhu are a little thinner.

Gently pushing the door open, an inaudible breathing sound came from the room, soft but steady, indicating that she had slept very soundly. Yue Jingxuan looked at Mu Yunlan curled up in a ball on the soft couch, only to feel that his heart was hit by a bang, and then a stream of warm currents dissolved, wrapping his heart layer by layer, dispelling the year-round ice inside.

He walked over softly, crouched down in front of her, and looked at her face greedily as if worshiping, he always couldn't understand why she would let herself be so worried, but she was so willing to feel this feeling, thinking about it, love is a kind of unprovoked but incomprehensible thing.

Mu Yunlan, who was on the soft couch, suddenly let out a low voice, her eyebrows furrowed suddenly, and her left leg couldn't help curling up together.

Yue Jingxuan hurriedly held her legs, and helped her knead her calves with a slight force with both hands: "Yun Lan, but your legs are cramping?" In the past few days, she only slept three hours a day, and the rest of the time was busy helping the victims in the disaster area.

Mu Yunlan was covered in cold sweat, and her eyes that had just woken up still had a trace of moisture, which looked extraordinarily soft, and she muttered, with a thick grievance: "It hurts." ”

"It's okay, just pinch it." He used a little internal force, and the broad palm was exceptionally warm, and the strength was just right, and it didn't take long for Mu Yunlan to stretch his eyebrows.

Mu Yunlan blinked, finally came to her senses, lowered her eyes and looked at Yue Jingxuan who knelt on one knee to help her pinch her legs, only to feel a sweet and warm heart to the bottom of her heart, she knew that this was wrong, but she couldn't control that feeling, at this time, she had to admit that she was tempted by him, every eye contact, every contact made her heart beat uncontrollably.

Since the first meeting, she has deliberately kept a distance from him, but she doesn't know when the seeds of her heart have been planted in her heart, maybe they met unexpectedly by the river, maybe they felt that he had no position to maintain, or maybe they felt sorry for the burden he had borne because of the people in the world...... When you think about it, it's really easy to fall in love with him.

Yue Jingxuan raised his head, his handsome face with a warm and flawless smile: "Yun Lan, rest for two days, the epidemic has stabilized, and if it is not in the way, Tianquan and others are staring at it." ”

"Hmm." Mu Yunlan retracted her gaze, gently lowered her eyes, and suppressed the strange thoughts in her heart, "Lord Wang, can my sister be found?" ”

“…… Not yet. ”

"Then you hurry up and look for it, when the epidemic situation stabilizes, my senior brother and I will leave, you can find your sister as soon as possible, and it is good that I can meet you." Mu Yunlan felt pain in her heart, but she had to block her retreat, because she didn't meet him at the right time after all.

Yue Jingxuan withdrew his hand, and there was still a beautiful touch in his fingertips: "Yun Lan, do you know anything that can tamper with people's memories." ”

"Never heard of it. Do you still think that I am your princess, but my memory has been tampered with? Mu Yunlan joked.

"You are my princess." Yue Jingxuan's expression was serious.

Mu Yunlan smiled, and there was a bitterness in her heart: "Don't use such an excuse, I remember who I am very clearly." ”

"Yunlan ......"

"Lord, princess, Tianshu asks to see."

Yue Jingxuan swallowed his words, helped Mu Yunlan arrange her skirt, and then got up and walked out: "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Wang, something happened in the disaster area, and a large number of disaster victims and the people of Yunli City have made a fuss."

"What's going on?"

"It is said that a child inadvertently broke into the disaster area and was beaten to death by the victims."

Mu Yunlan hurriedly got up: "Lord Wang, quickly send someone to isolate the people from the victims, although the epidemic situation is stable now, it is extremely contagious, if the two parties come into contact together, it is difficult to guarantee that the plague will not spread!" ”

Yue Jingxuan's heart sank, and he strode out of the door: "Gather the Ning'an army and immediately detain the victims and the people separately!" ”
