Today, the son rarely stayed in the city lord's mansion for lunch, and seemed to be in a good mood, and even drank two glasses of water and wine with King Jing.

Lei Lei is a sensible person, just sitting beside him obediently, and Chunhua is serving the meal. Xiao Yanran really missed her father, as soon as she sat down in the middle of the night, she climbed on top of him, and she didn't want to leave.

"Sit down and eat together." Midnight didn't look up, still feeding Xiao Yanran without a mouthful. But everyone present knew that he had called Mrs. Yuegui, who was standing aside to give him vegetables.

"Yes." Mrs. Yuegui's eyes were a little red and she sat down, and then the dishes and chopsticks presented by the next person ate silently with her head down.

King Jing is called a heart stopper, look, look, the family of his daughter-in-law and children, it seems that he is an outsider.

However, King Jing is a thick-skinned man, and when he was awkward at the beginning, he didn't care about eating his own. No matter what, it's better than eating alone in the room, how lonely.

After eating, the two children were handed over to Mrs. Yue, and in the middle of the night, King Jing got up and left the city lord's mansion again.

One of the maid rings selected by Night Shadow, named Chun'er, saw that Mrs. Yue was distracted when she looked at the direction where the prince left, and thought that she was sad, so she persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, look how much the prince cares about you." ”

A wry smile appeared on Mrs. Yue's face: "It is my blessing to be able to serve the prince, I dare not think that the prince has me in his heart." ”

She was designed for the prince, and the prince would not kill her, which was already considered a blessing, how could she dare to think that the prince had her place in his heart.

"The slave maid heard from the big brothers of the guards that the people in the epidemic prevention camp have begun to release people out, which is a good thing. But the prince is also relatively busy this time, but the prince deliberately took the time to come back to dine with you today, doesn't it reassure you? ”

When Chun'er said this, Mrs. Yue felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, and glared at Chun'er with shame: "It's nonsense, the prince is a person who cares about the world, how could he miss a big thing because of me." ”

Xiao Yahuan covered her mouth and stole fun, which made Mrs. Yue's face immediately flush. Fortunately, Xiao Yanran ran over and pulled her to play with her, so that she would not be so ashamed that she had nowhere to hide.

"What's going on?" Pointing to a sack on the ground that couldn't tell what was inside, the expression on Midnight's face was as cold as a cold pool.

Midnight is usually silent, it already makes people feel unattainable, and even the officials in Beijing will unconsciously bend their knees when they see him, not to mention that he has a serious expression at the moment, and the person standing opposite him is only Quyang's servant.

Immediately, more than a dozen officials knelt on the ground.

It was still the head of the government who had the courage to resist the pressure and replied in a trembling voice: "Back to the prince, the corpse was fished out of the well in the village. ”

In the middle of the night, he was silent, tilting his head slightly, and no one could see what he was thinking, looking at the south of the village, which was the direction of the only well in the village that the yatou had said.

This village is called Lijia Village, hence the name, it is known that not all the surnames in this village are Li, but most of them are surnamed Li. Of course, what is the surname of this village will not attract the attention of Midnight.

It is worth his attention that after careful investigation, Lijia Village is the source of the entire Quyang epidemic!

The village had been burned to the ground, and there was nothing but dark debris everywhere, thanks to the lockdown lord, whether he was trying to stop the spread of the epidemic or for himself, and in the end, he burned the corpses of the infected people and burned the village, and from the perspective of the epidemic alone, he was not wrong.

Midnight will notice this village, or because King Jing is crazy. King Jing went back after approaching this village and contracted the epidemic.

The bodies have been piled up and burned, and the village has been burned. King Jing just passed by and took a closer look, and on his body, there was also the anti-epidemic medicine prepared by Doctor Lin, although he didn't know what the epidemic would be at that time, but Doctor Lin's medicine was not useless.

Normally, it is unlikely that King Jing will catch the epidemic just by getting close.

Midnight had doubts in his heart, and only then did he find out what kind of epidemic this epidemic was, and after formulating the medicine for the epidemic and the medicine for epidemic prevention, he asked the officials to wear clothes that had been soaked for a day and a night.

Really...... Problematic!

Sweeping his eyes again, he turned to leave in the middle of the night.

"Burn the things, seal the well, let Doctor Lin come, and focus on epidemic prevention in Lijia Village."

With a "snap" kick, a man in black was kicked upside down and flew out a few meters away, and before he could react, he was out of breath.

"Childe, stop your anger." Around a dozen people who were also dressed in black, all kneeling in front of a mysterious person who was wrapped in a hood and could only be seen to be a man.

The mysterious man faced the southeast for a long time: "Tomorrow, go to Quyang." ”

The study of the guest courtyard of the city lord's mansion.

King Jing poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Midnight: "What happened?" ”

As soon as the nineteenth brother came back today, something was wrong, and as soon as he came back, he entered the study, which has been a few hours. Mrs. Yue saw that the situation was not right, and sent someone to the epidemic prevention camp to look for him.

Midnight took the water and drank it, and then looked at King Jing deeply, and King Jing wondered if his face had been suddenly changed and wanted to look in the mirror.

"This epidemic is man-made."

"What?" King Jing almost didn't jump up, "Nineteenth brother, what did you just say?" ”

Artificial?

How is it artificial?

Who could do such a hurtful thing?

"Yes, artificial, the source is in the village you went to before you got sick, called Lijia Village, remember?" King Jing still thinks too much about human nature.

Although he guessed that the crown prince would use the epidemic to participate in the weight of his purse, he would never have thought that this matter might not develop at all, and there would be an epidemic.

In order to use him to restrain the crown prince, it is necessary to break the beauty in his heart and make him realize the true horror and ruthlessness of this world, especially the world of imperial power.

King Jing didn't know how he walked out of the nineteenth brother's study, and met Mrs. Yuegui who was serving supper to midnight halfway, and he didn't even respond to the other party's greetings, but the whole person left as if he had lost his soul.

He made Mrs. Yuegui weird like this, but thinking that these were not what she should ask about as a woman, she was no longer curious and went to the study with supper.

The study is heavy, whether it is the land of imperial power or an ordinary family with only some family background, it is not a place where a backyard woman can go. After Mrs. Yuegui handed over the things to the guards as she did her duty, she turned around and left, without the slightest intention of overstepping her authority.

This made the guards all look up at her, at least, she is now the only wife of the prince, and the prince's attitude towards her is better than that of the Nine Emperor Uncles to those women in his own backyard, plus the young master and the young lady also like her.

It stands to reason that it would not be incomprehensible for her to get closer to the prince or increase her weight a little more.

But she didn't, she did her duty, and she did what she wanted.
