Chapter 190 To make the "liveliness" more interesting
"Alright, my Lords, it's getting late. If you have nothing else to do, please go back!"
Zhenli could sense that Baili Moqing was not in a good mood. Under such circumstances, it was not appropriate for the prince to handle anything!
Problems are likely to occur.
Yang You and Su Su finally heard that they could leave, and the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.
The two thanked him and were about to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, the woman sitting in the main hall suddenly spoke again, and the two men's hearts began to race again.
This woman! Is she done yet? Is she going to let me live?
Su Su almost wanted to curse! She was afraid that her next target would be herself.
Seeing the two men's pale faces, Shu He knew they were frightened and quickly said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, my lords. There's nothing else to worry about today. I called you over simply because I saw your faces were pale with red spots, and I was worried that you were not well. I was just a little worried."
Su Su wiped her forehead, feeling extremely relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't directed at her!
This woman is too scary! Every word she says can make your heart beat between life and death.
"Thank you for your concern, my lady. I don't feel any discomfort."
In fact, both of them knew that there was indeed something wrong with them, but neither of them wanted to stay in this Biluoyuan for a moment longer, so they concealed their physical condition.
Shu He's smile remained unchanged as he asked Yang You, "Master Yang, do you think so too?"
"Yes, yes, I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
Seeing this, Shu He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "In that case, then consider me meddling in your business."
"However, I heard from the housekeeper today that many people in the city have recently been suffering from a disease called 'three-day ulcer'. When the disease first strikes, the whole body is pierced with stinging pain, especially in the face, as if it were being pricked by needles. Red, needle-like spots appear all over the body, forming a terrifying red rash."
"After one day, red sores and pustules will appear on the face, rotting and turning into water. The next day, it will spread to the legs, and finally to the torso. Finally, the whole body will fester and the person will die."
"From onset to death, it only takes three days."
Su Su and Yang You turned pale when they heard this. For some reason, the pain in their bodies became more obvious.
Could it be that they have the disease she described?
"Madam He, where did you get this news? How come I have never heard of it?" Su Su asked nervously, the backs of her hands hidden in her sleeves turned white from being pinched.
"This news is all over the city right now, and you two masters still don't know?" Shu He asked, looking as if he suddenly understood. "Oh, I remember now. You two masters have been away from the people for a long time. You didn't even know that the people in the city were starving, let alone such a minor illness."
Yang You looked embarrassed and didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that the two of them didn't believe her, she continued, "If you two don't believe me, send someone to the north of the city to inquire about it after you return. This disease is now prevalent in the north of the city."
"I've visited and prescribed medicine to the sick. My investigation revealed that the recent heavy snow and cold snap have caused countless people to freeze to death or starve to death. Their bodies were left uncollected and unburied, which is what led to this epidemic."
Yang Yoususu's face was full of suspicion, and he always felt that what the woman said was a bit alarmist.
"It's okay. If you still don't believe me, you can go back and observe. After all, it will take three days for the disease to develop and for the patient to die. If you really can't find a cure within these three days, you can come back and find me."
"Although I'm not an expert in medicine, as the personal physician of Prince Dongli, I can still treat this minor illness."
The two stood there, the expressions on their faces could no longer be described as complicated.
Doubt, fear, anxiety, resentment, depression...
Various emotions intertwined and rotated on their faces, like a child with a very rich imagination, painting endless patterns in his mind on a limited piece of paper.
That piece of paper is densely packed with colorful and wonderful things.
"You two, you can go now."
Shu He gave the two of them a smile that he thought was very gentle and kind.
But she didn't know that in the eyes of those two people, her smile at this moment was clearly more terrifying than the devil returning from hell!
Outside the Biluo Courtyard, Yang You got on his carriage, and Su Su followed closely behind. The severe pain in his body forced him to catch up.
"Master Yang, do you have the symptoms that woman described?"
Neither of them admitted it while they were inside, not wanting to fall into that woman's trap again. But now that they were alone, there was nothing to hide.
Yang You didn't want to pay attention to him, but he had some doubts in his heart, so he wanted to verify it with Su Su.
"you also have?"
The word "also" made Su Su's face change drastically, and horror appeared on her face.
It seems that what the woman said is true!
Yang You also saw it, and besides being filled with fear, he was filled with rage. "How dare this bitch poison us! We are officials appointed by the imperial court! Does she really think that with Prince Dongli protecting her, no one can touch her?"
Su Su was horrified and puzzled, and asked, "Where did the idea of poisoning come from?"
"Is there any need to ask? It's all about those two cups of tea!" Apart from the tea, they didn't touch anything else in the Biluo Courtyard.
"But I didn't drink the tea!"
"What?" How is this possible?
If there was no poison in that cup of tea, how could they have the same symptoms and be poisoned by the same poison?
Could it be that, as that woman said, it is just a disease, an epidemic?
"Go back and check and you'll know!"
After Yang You finished speaking, he lowered the curtain of the carriage and asked the servant to drive away without saying a word.
Su Su looked at Yang You's back as he left in the carriage. The respect and fear in her eyes disappeared, replaced by sinisterness and contempt.
In the hall of Biluoyuan.
Zhang Zhiyi was puzzled. "Didn't they say Su Su didn't drink that cup of tea? Why was he also poisoned?"
Everyone was looking at Shu He, seemingly very curious about the reason.
"Because, when I went to take the teacup, I sprinkled the same poison into the air around Su Su. As he breathes, the powder will enter his body and have the same effect."
For some reason, after Shu He finished speaking, she felt that the way those men looked at her had changed.
How to describe it?
Hmm... hard to describe.
It's not that pretty anyway.
"What epidemic is this? Won't it be exposed once they investigate?" Zhen Kai asked.
"No!" Shu He picked up the teacup again and took a sip. "I spread the news early on. What they find out will be exactly what I said."
Zhen Li:!!!
This woman is really scary!
When did she arrange this?
These traps one after another simply trapped Yang You and Su Su completely!
"But what is the purpose of doing this?"
purpose?
"Of course it's to make everything go smoothly!"
Ninth Prince, Eldest Princess, Beisha City is so lively, shouldn’t she make it more lively and exciting?
