Chapter 170: The Plague

Qin Mufeng entered the palace in a nervous mood all the way, twenty-seven death knells, and the position of queen of the middle palace was vacant for many days.

Is this death knell ringing for the elderly Queen Mother, or is it for the saint who is ill?

But no matter who it is, it's all relatives who are related to him by blood.

Qin Mufeng's heart began to panic for no reason, and the trace of hatred and unwillingness hidden in his heart that could not be found was no longer important at this moment.

His steps grew longer and wider, until the sound of the death knell rang in his ears again.

His heart instantly rose to his throat, and a pair of flexible and powerful legs suddenly pinned to the ground, unable to advance a single point.

Officials who, like him, were flocked at the gates of the palace.

Their expressions were solemn, and the emotions in their eyes were complex and difficult to discern.

Everyone silently counted the bell that struck the tip of their hearts in their hearts.

Five, six, seven, eight...... Twenty-three, twenty-four......

When the twenty-fourth bell rang, the faces of the people turned pale, and they immediately knelt down on the spot.

Twenty-three rings is a dividing line, and if the bell does not stop, it means that the only one left in this palace is also ......

Qin Mufeng's mind boomed, and he didn't know how he finally rushed into the hall where Chu Qin was.

By the time he returned to his senses, his face was already cold.

When he saw the crown prince walking out of Chu Qin's dormitory intact, his heart skipped a heavy beat.

The sadness on the face of the crown prince Chu Lingtian did not seem to be fake, and Qin Mufeng suddenly felt a creepy strange emotion in his heart for some reason.

"Your Highness......"

Chu Lingtian raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder twice, choked up with heavy sadness: "Mu Feng, my father is gone, you can accompany me to see him off." ”

Qin Mufeng's body subconsciously tensed, he didn't know if Chu Lingtian's ambiguous words meant literally, or if he meant something after knowing his life experience.

There was a violent quarrel behind him, and the sound of swords colliding was particularly harsh.

Qin Mufeng saw the fierceness that flashed in Chu Lingtian's eyes, and his heart trembled fiercely.

That flash of emotion was too fast, so fast that he couldn't hold on to it.

Chu Lingtian didn't give him the emotions to think about and discern.

"Third brother! What are you messing about? Do you want your father to die and not be stable? ”

Chu Lingtian's reprimand aggravated the unprovoked solemn suspicion in Qin Mufeng's heart.

Chu Lingyue pushed away the guards who were blocking him left and right like crazy, rushed to Chu Lingtian with tears in his eyes, and grabbed the collar on his chest.

"Chu Lingtian, you don't pretend to me, don't you know how your father went?"

"You are the crown prince, you are already under one person, above ten thousand, you can't wait so much, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Qin Mufeng's face changed, and his already pale face became even paler.

What does Chu Lingyue mean by this?

Before he had time to think about it, Chu Lingtian threw the person in front of him out.

"Chu Lingyue, go crazy and go back to your prince's mansion."

"Seventh brother, you send him back."

As soon as the voice came out, it attracted everyone's attention.

Chu Linghao walked towards Chu Lingyue step by step under the gaze of everyone.

He bent down and helped Chu Lingyue up from the ground.

"Third brother, don't make trouble, my grandmother died, my father left suddenly, we all feel uncomfortable, I'll send you back to rest first."

Qin Mufeng's pupils shrank.

It's not an illusion, it's not a lot of heart, there's a weird aura everywhere, and he's incredibly sure there's something wrong with it! And seriously.

It's just that he can't figure out what the problem is for a while.

Chu Lingyue looked at Chu Linghao beside him in disbelief: "Seventh brother! Do you know what you're doing? ”

Chu Linghao smiled gently: "The third brother asked this, and the seventh brother naturally knows." ”

"Brother Prince still has a lot of things to do, so don't make trouble for him if we can't help."

Qin Mufeng saw Chu Lingyue showing a struggling expression, but his body did not make any refusal, and he made involuntary moves, allowing the other party to lead him out of place.

Qin Mufeng didn't have to think about it to know that the third prince must have been coerced by the seventh prince.

His mind was racing and he couldn't figure out how things could suddenly turn into the current situation.

He was only depressed in the Hou Mansion for two days, and the situation changed drastically.

The strange thing is that neither Bai Chen nor Mu Bai has said anything to themselves.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"I haven't congratulated Your Highness yet, you have successfully solved the Gu."

Chu Lingtian's sad expression rarely dispersed for a moment: "This is all thanks to the seventh brother, it was he who found the mother Gu from the third prince." ”

Qin Mufeng was shocked, according to the previous investigation, it was impossible for the mother Gu to be with the third prince, his eyes narrowed, and he lowered his head to hide the tumbling emotions under his eyes.

Whether it was the Seventh Prince who was lying, or the person in front of him was lying, he couldn't judge for a while.

The only thing he could do was to figure out what had happened in the past two days without making sure he was startled.

"Your Highness, Holy Heaven, His ......"

Chu Lingtian's face returned to the sadness of losing a loved one.

"My father left in such a hurry, and I didn't expect it, the imperial doctor said it was a sudden emergency."

Qin Mufeng looked at Chu Qin, who was full of depravity, and couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.

Lijing City hurriedly ushered in a state funeral, the city was white, and the crown prince unsurprisingly ascended the throne and sat on the throne.

The third prince had to accept this unchangeable fact, and began to become depressed day by day.

Fu Renjiu seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no news came out.

The entire city of Lijing City is shrouded in a thriving atmosphere.

Qin Mufeng's heart became more and more bottomless.

His life experience was also buried with Chu Qin's death, and it was rare that Jiang Ping was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't have any dark thoughts because of this.

Yun Xi looked at Qin Mufeng, who was frowning all day, and his words became less and less, and he locked himself in the study every day except for the last dynasty to write and paint.

Qin Yi and the people of the dark dragon went in and out, and they were so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

In addition to worry, she was distressed.

On this day, Lijing City, which had been stable for more than a month, suddenly became chaotic.

The sudden plague is spreading throughout Lijing City with lightning speed.

The mortality rate increased rapidly, and Yun Xi secretly went to the street without Qin Mufeng.

The epidemic came suddenly, and those who "died" were a little different from the real dead.

They are indistinguishable from real dead people during the day, but at night they strangely regain their short breathing and heartbeat.

Originally, Yun Xi was just a rumor from the world, and he didn't take it seriously.

After all, such a fantastical and anti-human and anti-science thing is too mysterious.

But when she saw the "dead people" who broke out of the coffin with her own eyes, she had to believe it.

In the dead of night, the mass graves are full of living dead with green eyes.

On the mass graves where the demons are dancing wildly, their movements are stiff and mechanical, like those doomsday corpses in the movies of the previous life.

The only difference is that they don't bite each other and they don't attack people.

Seeing this scene, Yun Xi's back clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

Her back was numb, her body stiffened, and she was even careful to breathe.

Yun Xi bent down to pick up the stones on the ground, threw them at the corpses, and after making sure that the other party would not fight back, he dared to walk in.

The skin of the corpses was shriveled and yellowish, and the arteries and blood vessels were visibly bulging and dilated.

Yun Xi tried to cut the other party's blood vessels with a dark iron dagger, and took some blood samples back to study.

What she didn't expect was that the corpses all had strong healing abilities without exception, and she couldn't get a blood sample at all.

"Xi'er."

Qin Mufeng's voice came from behind him, and Yunxi's heartbeat was subconsciously tight.

"Ah, Ah, Mu, why are you here? Hehehe......"

Qin Mufeng turned a blind eye to the smile on her face, and her whole face darkened a degree because of her seriousness.

He just hooked up like this, and looked at the little wife who was standing in front of him without saying a word.

Yun Xi's scalp began to tingle when he saw it, and he didn't wait for his response.

In a panic, she hurriedly admitted her mistake: "I know it's wrong, don't be angry." ”

Qin Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief after confirming with his eyes that the other party was intact.

He grabbed the little woman in front of him who didn't know how thick the sky was, and he was worried about it.

Yun Xi was pulled by him obediently, and had no intention of struggling.

It wasn't until she was carried by someone on the shoulder and spanked as she walked that she began to struggle with a shameful face.

Until...... With each struggle, the slap that landed on her ass became a little harder.

Yun Xi gave up the struggle, holding his breath and letting the other party move without saying a word.

"Say, do you dare?"

"......" Yunxi gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Speak, do you dare to speak?"

Qin Mufeng said and slapped her hard.

God knows, what he felt like when he knew she wasn't there.

That feeling like the sky was falling, it was a feeling that even when he saw Chu Qin's body in the palace that night, he didn't have.

When Qin Mufeng waited left and right without waiting for Yunxi's response, there was another panic in his heart.

He hurriedly stopped and put the man down.

What you see is a face that is so aggrieved that it bursts into tears.

His heart trembled, and he hurriedly helped her wipe away the tears from her face.

"I'm sorry, Xi'er, I, I just ...... I was just...... I'm sorry! I shouldn't have hit you. ”

Yun Xi looked at his nervous and flustered appearance, and unconsciously softened his heart.

"Don't be angry with me, it's a big deal, I'll let you call back, okay?"

"Poof-" Yun Xi couldn't help laughing.

Qin Mufeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Xi pointed to the direction of the mass grave and said arrogantly: "You don't have to fight back, do you see those dead bodies?" Pick a pleasing one to help me bring it back to Hou...... Hospitality. ”

Qin Mufeng's brows furrowed instantly, and he was about to refuse without even thinking about it.

"I didn't let you do it yourself."

Seeing what else he was going to say, Yun Xi hurriedly added: "I'm going to go back and study it, don't worry, I've observed, there's no danger." ”

"Besides, the infected are all young and strong men, don't you think it's strange?" She had never heard of such an infectious disease that spread from man to woman.
