Chapter 227 Disappearance
Hearing this, He Yuyan frowned.
What secret requires her life to be sacrificed?
However, she was just curious!
How could I possibly give up my life for something like this?
"No, I don't want to know..."
The female "prison guard" glanced at her and lowered her head.
A hint of sarcasm flickered in his eyes.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
"Your Majesty, according to the diagnosis and inspection by your humble servant and the two imperial physicians, there are more than 500 prisoners in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison."
More than 300 people were infected with smallpox, and 203 of them were seriously ill.
More than 30 prison guards had direct contact with the infected patients.
Currently, only about one hundred people have been found to be uninfected.
These people have now been secretly driven to the canyons on the outskirts of Beijing.
"What do you think we should do?"
The emperor's face was grave.
The ministers standing below turned pale.
"Your Majesty, please give the order!"
Despite their guilty conscience, they had no choice but to persuade the emperor to do so for the sake of the safety of the capital.
Just then, a member of the Imperial Guard rushed in.
"Your Majesty, Commander Luo has assembled the men."
Everything is ready, and we await your command.
He then lit a fire.
The deputy commander came to report.
The emperor waved his hand and ordered, "At three-quarters past noon tonight, Commander Luo shall take action!"
Hanxiang Hall.
Has the Emperor issued the order?
Lan Zhi looked at Consort Jing, whose brows and eyes were furrowed with worry.
"Yes, that's the news that just came in."
If we act at noon tonight, I'm sure Consort He will not escape death.
"Alas, this is her fate..."
There was nothing I could do.
cell.
His double has been taken away.
He Yuyan waited until it was completely dark outside before she dared to crawl out from under the bed.
She walked carefully along the passage toward the prison door.
Seeing the empty cells, she couldn't help but feel a chill.
This involves hundreds of lives.
Not only was that person ruthless, but the emperor was even more ruthless, burning them down without batting an eye.
valley.
The prisoners, handcuffed and shackled, were herded here in groups.
Just a foot away from them, there was a pile of flammable firewood.
Archers surrounded them from all sides.
If they resist, they will likely be met with a thousand arrows.
Commander Luo, the leader of the Imperial Guards, glanced at the hourglass beside him and saw that the time had come.
He said expressionlessly, "Light the fire!"
At his command, the soldiers threw their torches at the woodpile in front of the prisoner.
In the blink of an eye, flames roared up in the valley, the fire reaching the sky.
The Imperial Palace.
He Yuyan, dressed as a prison guard, walked openly out of the cell and exchanged a secret signal with the person waiting outside.
She then calmly walked out of the mansion gate, following behind several soldiers.
The next day.
Wu Weiwei was woken up early in the morning.
"Auntie, Miss Chen is here!"
Is Chen Furong here?
After Wu Weiwei finished washing up, she saw her walk in with dark circles under her eyes.
"Sister Weiwei, that person is dead!"
Chen Furong said happily.
"Yesterday, the fire raged in Feitian Valley, and I personally witnessed the prisoners being escorted to the canyon."
All the prisoners at the scene were burned to ashes…
Upon hearing this news, Wu Weiwei's emotions were in turmoil.
However, she still couldn't be sure.
Did the female lead really die in the fire?
Seeing the disbelief in Wu Weiwei's eyes, Chen Furong affirmed, "Yes, it's absolutely true."
Afterwards, I also asked Physician Wei, and he said that he personally took He Yuyan's pulse.
She was diagnosed with smallpox.
Furthermore, the men I left to guard the prison did not see anyone suspicious escaping from the dungeon.
Hearing Chen Furong's confident tone.
Wu Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
All right.
The female protagonist finally disappeared from this world.
From now on, she only needs to deal with those insignificant passersby in the Marquis's mansion.
but.
If Qingzhu's test voyage is successful, she will definitely have a place to stay.
I'm afraid that by then I won't need to climb to that position, nor will I need to fawn over the prince anymore.
Wu Weiwei looked at Chen Furong.
"Junior sister, do you think I'm a bad person?"
Wu Weiwei wanted to know what Chen Furong was thinking about her dealings with He Yuyan.
"Sister Weiwei, this is just retaliation."
If we're talking about bad people, I'm afraid He Yuyan is a hundred times worse than you..."
Since He Yuyan returned to the Marquis's mansion, there has been a constant stream of troubles.
Later, she instigated her senior brother to seize Weiwei's Wei Garden.
Furthermore, she allowed Qin Baihe to use Wei Garden to ruin the reputations of many noble ladies in the capital.
Her badness goes far beyond that.
The emperor sentenced her to death, which she deserved.
He Yuyan is now dead.
Although my senior brother will definitely be very sad when he comes back, he will probably feel better after a while.
Just like when the senior brother wanted to marry "her" bones, wasn't he eventually healed by Sister Weiwei?
Northern Xinjiang.
Three days after the burning of the capital, the flames were completely extinguished.
Lu Hanting, who was in the northern frontier, finally received the news that He Yuyan had been imprisoned.
A raging fire was burning within him.
Seeing the thunderous rage on his master's face, Ru Feng wished he could stay as far away from him as possible.
He was guarding the border for the Great Wei Dynasty, but the emperor suddenly imprisoned his woman.
Emperor Cheng of Ming probably didn't want his empire anymore.
The letter Lu Hanting received was sent by the old lady.
As for the letter written by Dingxiang, it has already been intercepted by Wu Weiwei.
The old lady did not tell him about He Yuyan's beheading in her letter, after all, she thought that the emperor would ultimately consider the overall situation and not kill He Yuyan.
But she didn't expect things to go in the way she thought.
Yong'an Hall.
After He Yuyan died, the old lady fell ill.
This illness came on suddenly and violently.
Everyone in the Hou family knew that the old lady had fallen ill because of the death of her cousin.
They couldn't understand why the old lady was so fond of the young lady in the mansion.
I've never seen her like this before.
Marquis Lu Chengping invited the imperial physician for the old lady.
The imperial physician who arrived was none other than Wei Xuanming.
"Madam, please take care of your health and don't worry too much, otherwise your illness will be difficult to recover from..."
Granny Zhang sighed.
Today is the third day.
However, the old lady's condition not only did not improve at all, but worsened.
Wei Xuanming had heard about the affairs of the Marquis of Dingguo's residence.
The deceased prisoner was just a cousin in the household with no blood relation, so why would the old lady care about her so much?
It's so weird.
Looking at the puzzled expression on Physician Wei's face.
Granny Zhang stepped forward and said, "Doctor Wei, Miss Cousin has always been well-behaved and respectful to our matriarch."
Now the person is gone.
The old lady probably felt guilty for failing her deceased friend, Madam Zheng, in fulfilling her request!
Please take good care of our matriarch's illness; this old servant will also try to persuade her to get better.
Wei Xuanming nodded.
"Don't worry, Granny Zhang, I will do my best to cure the old lady's illness..."
"Then thank you very much, Physician Wei."
Granny Zhang looked at the maid beside her.
"Xiaoqing, go with Physician Wei to get the prescription!"
After the person left.
Then the old lady on the bed murmured, "Yan'er, don't blame me for this..."
Looking at the old lady lying on the bed, Zhang Mama sighed inwardly.
It seems the old lady can't let go of what happened back then.
Yu County.
A delicate woman lay on the bed.
The maidservant beside him was carefully serving him with the medicine.
"Miss He, the doctor said it will take a few more days for you to recover from this illness."
Please stay here and recuperate during this time!
