Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife - Chapter 507

[Chapter 507 May the deceased rest in peace]

After King Yu, King Yue, and Mu Yunyao met in a hurry, they rushed back to Linjiang City overnight.

With the garrison of Huai’an City coming to guard and assisting, after most of the flood in Yishui City has receded, we can finally enter the city to check the situation.

Mu Yunyao prepared a lot of medicinal materials in advance, and during the waiting period, she made all kinds of pills carefully, and distributed one to everyone who entered Yishui City: “Although there is only one pill, but When it is critical, it can save people’s lives, I hope you will treat it with caution.”

The soldiers who received the pills were surprised. Although they didn’t know how effective the medicine bowl was, Mu Yunyao’s cautious attitude of thinking about them made everyone feel very useful.

Before entering Yishui City, Mu Yunyao had already made a lot of preparations in her heart, but when she saw the situation in the city, she couldn’t help but turn pale.

When many soldiers saw the situation in the city, they vomited with white faces. Although they have never been on the battlefield, they have seen blood, but seeing the purgatory-like scene in the city, they only feel the nausea that cannot be suppressed in their chests.

King Yue stood beside Mu Yunyao, noticed the sadness in her expression, and shook her hand forcefully.

Mu Yunyao turned her head and shook it: “I’m fine.”

She and King Yue didn’t think about entering Yishui City earlier to see if there were any survivors, but the manpower she brought was too limited, and Yishui City was full of floods and silt, so people didn’t even have a place to go. , so we can only give up temporarily.

The soldiers all had tools for cleaning the streets in their hands. After covering their mouths and noses with cloth towels, they began to clean the roads in the city in a muffled voice.

The two rivers poured into Yishui City together, submerging the entire city. At this time, the flood receded, and many people and animal carcasses were stranded on the streets. Now that the sky is getting hot, after so many days, the corpse begins to rot and emits bursts of stench, which makes people spit out the overnight meal.

King Yue gritted his teeth tightly, and his eyes were cold and murderous: “I really should let those people come and see what evil they have done!”

Mu Yunyao’s face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with unspeakable grief and anger: If this is really a natural disaster, it can be attributed to the cruelty of God, but this is a man-made disaster, and the people in these cities can obviously live safe and sound. Live a peaceful life, but because of the people above, they have destroyed everything for them…

Yu Heng came to report: “Master, tung oil and firewood are ready.”

King Yue withdrew his gaze and pressed all his grief and anger to the bottom of his heart: “Prepare to clean up the corpses in the city.”

“Yes.”

One by one corpses were cleaned up and piled up in an open space in the city, surrounded by firewood sprinkled with tung oil.

Yu Heng wanted to go forward, but was stopped by King Yue. He took the torch from Yu Heng’s hand and stepped forward step by step with a solemn expression. After a pause, he bent down and lit the firewood.

Mu Yunyao looked at Yue King’s back, which was extremely tense, her eyes were slightly red, she ignored the mud on the ground, took two steps forward and knelt down, folded her hands and began to recite the Buddhist scriptures.

The soldiers behind him and some of the people who followed saw this scene, and for some reason they only felt that their throats were blocked, and they knelt down with Mu Yunyao involuntarily.

A large amount of black smoke rushed into the sky with the stench unique to the corpse. The smell was extremely unpleasant, but no one left.

Mu Yunyao folded her hands together, and the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures was not loud in the sound of firewood and burning corpses, but it seemed to attract everyone’s mind. After reciting the last sentence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Original Vows, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the flaming flames. She leaned over and saluted solemnly: “May the deceased rest in peace.”

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they couldn’t help but read it out after him: “May the deceased rest in peace!”

“rest in peace!”

The voice became louder and louder. King Yue stood beside Mu Yunyao and saluted with her: “May the deceased rest in peace.”

This hatred is a crime made by the royal family and must be paid for with the blood of the royal family. He will definitely make King Ling and King Jin pay the price.

Waiting for the fire to go out, King Yue led people to collect the ashes and bury them together in a tomb pit dug in advance on the side of the mountain. A stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb, and there is still no word on it. , he will find a way to find the government’s household registration documents, so that people can engrave the names of the suffering people in the city as complete as possible.

It would take more than ten days to completely clean up Yishui City. In the next few days, every time the bodies of the deceased were burned, King Yue would do it himself, Mu Yunyao would kneel and recite a Buddhist scripture, and the soldiers would tacitly follow her in salute, and at the end they would say “Please, please. The deceased rest in peace.” After reading this sentence, the pain and sadness in my heart seemed to become less, and it would not completely crush the heart.

On the third day of the cleanup, the imperial physicians arrived one after another. Some of the soldiers and civilians who came to the city had symptoms of the plague. In the camp isolated in the mid-level camp, the first person died of the plague also appeared. of victims.

Many imperial physicians were originally conflicted, but when they saw the situation in Yishui City and heard the call for the deceased to rest in peace, their expressions became solemn involuntarily, and they began to concentrate on diagnosing and treating the victims.

At the same time, the people of Guancheng in the lower reaches of Yishui City were already making trouble. While officials sent people to appease the people’s emotions to avoid civil unrest, they hurriedly sent letters to Kyoto.

When the emperor saw the handbook, his slightly red eyes flashed slowly and solemnly: “There are also people in Guancheng who are infected with the plague…”

At the same time, the officials who heard the news went to the palace together to ask for a meeting, hoping that the emperor would consider more people, close Yishui City, and kill all the people in the city.

The emperor ignored these remarks, and the officials sat quietly at the gate of the palace, begging the emperor to decree the closure of Yishui City. If the emperor did not agree, they would not be able to kneel.

In the palace of the eldest princess, Mammy Qu reported the matter at the entrance of the palace to the eldest princess Yide.

After hearing this, Princess Yide couldn’t help but sneer: “At this time, King Jin still doesn’t give up. I didn’t see it before, he still has this temperament.”

Madam Qu lowered her hands to one side, not daring to speak.

“Jun Yu should be back soon, right?”

“Yes, the news has already been passed, and I will be able to rush back to Kyoto at noon tomorrow at the latest.”

Princess Yide’s expression was deep: “As early as when the emperor ascended the throne, I swore an oath in front of the tombstones of the father and the mother, and would never interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the King of Jin left it to the emperor to deal with it himself. The people in the harem did their best to suppress Concubine Zhen’s family!”

Mother Qu replied respectfully, “Yes.”

The emperor has always cherished Concubine Zhen’s humble background, so she has been praised in the harem, but after so many years, even the humble background, under the emperor’s intentional promotion, has already developed into a trend, and the King of Jin can follow suit. She has won so many good reputations smoothly, and Concubine Zhen’s contribution is not small. However, from now on, Concubine Zhen is really from a humble background.
