Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 507

After King Yu, King Yue, and Mu Yunyao hastily met once, they quickly rushed back to Riverside City.

With the assistance of the garrison army of Huai An City, the flood of water in Yi River City had receded by more than half. Finally, they could enter the city to check out the situation.

Mu Yunyao prepared a lot of medicine ingredients beforehand. While waiting, she carefully made all kinds of pills and gave one to everyone who entered Yi Shui city, "Although there's only one pill, it can protect your life during critical moments. I hope you will treat it with caution."

The soldiers that received the pills were very surprised. Although they didn't know how effective the medicine bowl was right now, but Mu Yunyao's cautious and considerate attitude really made them enjoy it.

Before entering Yi River City, Mu Yunyao had already made many preparations, but upon seeing the situation within the city, she couldn't help but turn deathly pale.

Upon seeing the situation in the city, many soldiers vomited with pale faces. Although they had never entered a battlefield before, they had seen blood before. However, when they saw the hell-like scene inside the city, they could not help but feel a wave of disgust from their chests.

King Yue, who was standing next to Mu Yunyao, felt the sadness in her expression and firmly shook her hand.

Mu Yunyao turned her head and shook it, "I'm fine."

It was not that she and Yue Yang had not thought of entering Yi River City earlier to see if there were any survivors. However, the number of people she had brought with her was too limited.

The soldiers all had tools to clean up the streets. After covering their mouths and noses with cloths, they all began to silently clear up the roads of the city. The two rivers poured into Yi River City and submerged the entire city. At this moment, the flood had retreated, and many people and beasts' corpses were left on the streets. The sky had turned hot. After so many days, the corpses had begun to rot and emit a terrible stench. It was a stench that made one want to puke out the food they ate during the night …

Yue Yang clenched his teeth tightly. His eyes were cold and filled with killing intent: "We should really let those people see just what kind of evil they have done!" If this was really a natural disaster, then it could be attributed to the cruelty of the heavens. However, this was a human disaster, and the citizens of the city could clearly be alive and well, living a peaceful life, but because of the struggles of the people above …

To seize profits, to destroy everything they had …

Yu Heng came to report, "Master, the tung oil and firewood are ready."

Yue Yang retracted his gaze and suppressed his anger and grief: "Prepare to clear out the corpses in the city."

"Yes."

Corpses were piled up in an empty space in the city, surrounded by firewood sprinkled with tung oil.

Yu Heng wanted to step forward, but he was stopped by King Yue. He took the torch from Yu Heng's hands and walked forward with a solemn expression. After pausing for a moment, he bent down and lit the firewood.

Mu Yunyao looked at the extremely tense back of King Yue as her eyes reddened slightly. She didn't care about the mud on the ground and took two steps forward before kneeling down. She clasped her hands and began to recite a Buddhist scripture.

When the soldiers and commoners behind saw this scene, they didn't know why, but they felt a lump in their throat and couldn't help but follow Mu Yunyao and kneel down.

A large amount of black smoke rose into the sky, carrying the stench of corpses with it. The smell was extremely unpleasant, but no one left. Mu Yunyao clasped her hands together, chanting Buddhist scriptures. The crackling sounds of burning firewood and corpses weren't loud, but it seemed to be able to attract a person's attention. After she finished reciting the Kitigarbha Sutra's last sentence, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the raging flames.

"Rest in peace."

When the soldiers behind him heard this, they could not help but follow him and read out, "May the dead rest in peace!"

His voice grew louder and louder as he stood next to Mu Yunyao and bowed along with her, "May the deceased rest in peace."

This hatred was created by the royal family, and it had to be repaid with the royal blood. He would definitely make the Duke and Duke Jin pay the price. Waiting for the fire to extinguish, the King of Battle brought his men to collect the ashes and buried them together in a tomb dug ahead of time at the side of the mountain range. In front of the tomb was a stone tablet with no words on it yet.

The names of the suffering people in the city may be inscribed on it. It would take more than ten days to completely clean out Yi River City. For the next few days, every time the corpses of the dead were burned, King Yue would personally do it. Mu Yunyao would also kneel down and recite a Buddhist scripture, and the soldiers would salute with her in tacit understanding before reading out loud at the end, "Please.

"The deceased rest in peace", after this sentence, the pain and sorrow in his heart seemed to have lessened, as if it wasn't enough to completely crush the hearts of others.

On the third day of cleaning up, the imperial physicians rushed to the city one by one. There were already symptoms of plague among the soldiers and commoners, as well as the first person to die from the plague in a tent isolated from the camp.

Many imperial physicians had originally been conflicted, but after seeing the situation in Yishui City and hearing the pleas for the deceased to rest in peace, their expressions couldn't help but turn solemn as they focused on treating the victims.

At the same time, the spectators in the lower reaches of Yishui City were already in an uproar. Officials sent people to calm the people down while they rushed to deliver a letter to the capital.

When the emperor saw the paper money, his slightly reddened eyes slowly turned serious, "There are commoners in the city that are infected with the plague …"

At the same time, the officials who heard of this news all went to the palace to seek an audience. They hoped that the emperor would think for the sake of more commoners and close the Yi River City to kill everyone within the city.

The emperor didn't pay attention to these words. The officials all sat quietly at the entrance of the palace, begging the emperor to order Yi River City to be closed. If the emperor didn't agree, then they would kneel and not be able to get up.

Inside the Eldest Princess Mansion, Senior Servant Qu reported the matter at the palace entrance to Grand Princess Yi De.

After hearing this, Grand Princess Yi De couldn't help but sneer. "Even at this time, the Prince Jin still hasn't given up yet. I didn't realize before that he had this kind of personality. "

Senior Servant Qu lowered her hands to the side, not daring to speak.

"Jun Yu should be back soon, right?"

"Yes, I've already sent a message. At the latest, we'll definitely be able to return to the capital tomorrow at noon."

"When the Emperor ascended the throne, I swore before the tombstones of my royal father and mother that I would never interfere in the affairs of the former dynasty again. Therefore, Prince Jin left it for the Emperor to deal with himself and have the people from the imperial harem take action to suppress the family of Imperial Consort! "

Senior Servant Qu respectfully acknowledged, "Yes." The Emperor had always pitied and cherished the fact that his concubine's birth was a little low, which was why he had been praising her in the harem. But after so many years, even if his birth was any lower, he had already developed his influence by being praised intentionally by the Emperor. However, from now on, she was a bit despicable.
