It is clearly written above.
Fifteen years ago, villagers in Peach Blossom Village suddenly contracted an unknown virus that would bite anyone it saw.
The first person to fall ill was a 14-year-old boy named Liu San, who bit the doctor who came to see him.
Later, it bit family members, and those bitten became infected, and then one by one, the whole village was infected.
Fortunately, it was discovered early, and His Majesty sent imperial physicians to treat it, but to no avail. The patient even bit the physician, which enraged His Majesty.
An imperial edict was issued to seal off the village, and 20,000 imperial guards were dispatched to surround and blockade it, implementing a censorship order.
The contents of the case file were very limited, consisting of only a few words.
However, the content was indeed extremely tragic. Fifteen years ago, there was no war, and it was very rare to see such a censorship order implemented.
They would never do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.
"Why is it 14 years old again? Is this village cursed? The kind where 14-year-olds have to die?" Fu Hang muttered.
Chu Tianling pulled out the file from his hand; the sick child was indeed 14 years old.
He didn't believe in curses at first, but he had experienced it himself. He died on that day every time, repeating it 18 times, which felt like a curse.
Is this Peach Blossom Village also some kind of curse?
A curse that forces 14-year-olds to die?
How strange!
So what does the recent disappearance of people from the imperial city have to do with this?
It feels like the problem has been solved but not solved, and I'm even more confused now!
“I think the Liu family of Jiangnan is also very problematic! Otherwise, why would they send people to Peach Blossom Village every year? And for so many years!” Shen Jiaojiao had a feeling that this matter was related to the Liu family of Jiangnan.
Chu Tianling frowned. There were too many things to do, and he hadn't rested all night. He felt very tired.
The cannibalism disease that emerged 15 years ago.
A 14-year-old boy and girl died mysteriously.
Every year, people from the Liu family in Jiangnan come to settle in Peach Blossom Village.
People who have mysteriously disappeared now.
A virus that appeared out of nowhere.
A mysterious child who appeared out of nowhere.
A poisonous pit hidden in the mountains.
What is the connection between all of this?
My head hurts a little.
Shen Jiaojiao stepped forward and gently pressed his head. She had noticed earlier that he kept pressing his head from time to time.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Fu Hang was completely dizzy.
He initially thought it would be simple: just come back with some people, blow up that huge poison pit, and kill all the poisonous insects.
This is not a simple matter.
Little did I know that there were so many twists and turns involved when I got back.
Are we still going to deal with that huge toxic pit?
That's what he cares about.
Chu Tianling closed his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and enjoyed Jiao Jiao's massage, which relieved some of the pain.
"Fu Hang, what were your plans when you came back?"
Fu Hang's expression softened slightly at this question, and he would answer, "I was thinking of getting some gunpowder to blow up that big crater, and then the falling rocks would bury it, killing two birds with one stone!"
Chu Tianling fell silent.
One issue is that blasting the mountain requires a considerable amount of explosives and creates a lot of noise, which could cause panic among residents.
Moreover, he always felt that there was something there that they hadn't discovered yet.
And that mysterious little brat must know something.
"Should we burn it?" Shen Jiaojiao suggested.
“You see, burning it would be much simpler. All the poisonous substances are in the pit. Just pour some kerosene in and set it on fire. I also think it’s best not to leave that poison pit behind.”
Shen Jiaojiao felt goosebumps just thinking about those scenes.
Fu Hang thought about it and realized it made sense; burning was much more convenient.
"Your Highness, why don't we just set it on fire?"
"Alright, then set it on fire. Fu Hang, go to the manor to withdraw the silver, take 50 brothers, set off immediately to buy kerosene and weapons, and make sure to destroy that poison pit."
"When the fire starts, there may be poisonous gas spreading, so be sure to stay far away and try to eliminate any poisonous insects that escape."
"Then try to catch that brat. You keep command over there, and come back as soon as things are almost done!"
Chu Tianling thought that was about it.
He waved his hand, signaling Fu Hang to leave quickly and get down to business.
"Oh, right, I think we should also check things out in Jiangnan!" Shen Jiaojiao quickly added.
Chu Tianling thought for a while and suddenly remembered someone: "Jiaojiao, do you still remember Princess Mingyue and Zhang Jie, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review? They happen to be out there. I'll write a letter to them now and ask them to go to Jiangnan first and inquire about things along the way."
Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up; this was indeed a good idea!
"I also want to write her a letter! To remind her to take care of herself."
After saying that, he walked to the side and started doing it.
It was written on a whim.
Chu Tianling smiled and shook his head. Who could blame him for liking her? What could he do but spoil her?
Having finally finished writing the letter, Chu Tianling immediately sent someone to deliver it.
Shen Jiaojiao then forced him to hurry back to the mansion to rest.
I didn't get any rest last night, and Prince An is getting married in two days, so I have to attend.
Meanwhile, Consort Liu in the palace fainted from anger at her own son, and when she woke up, the matter was already settled.
Upon hearing that Liu Piaopiao from Jiangnan had entered the city, they immediately sent someone to invite her.
She still had a sliver of hope in her heart; if all else failed, she could accept Piaopiao as his concubine!
When the news from outside the city reached us, Liu Piaopiao had already arrived at the palace, so the servants didn't mention that she had vomited blood.
When Consort Liu first saw Liu Piaopiao, she was immediately captivated by her beauty and temperament!
good!
As expected of a girl from my Liu family!
"Piaopiao! Come here quickly! Your aunt wants to have a good look at you!" Consort Liu called her to the front immediately without waiting for her to bow.
I'm very satisfied with it no matter how I look at it.
With a shy smile on her face, Liu Piaopiao took light steps, swaying her body as she turned around.
Consort Liu was extremely pleased!
That's how it should be done; that's how we can win back Prince An's heart.
Liu Piaopiao's eyes flashed, and she immediately understood that Consort Liu was still not giving up!
Damn it, those rotten cucumbers, whoever wants them can have them!
commit a sin.
"Piaopiao! I'm so happy to see your aunt! By the way, you haven't met your cousin yet, have you? I'll invite him over for dinner tonight!..."
"Cough cough cough..."
"Piaopiao! What's wrong?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Consort Liu was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
Seeing her coughing so violently, I realized that my niece seemed to have a weak constitution.
Wasn't everything fine just now?
Why is he coughing so badly?
Is my health really not good?
Before she could even sort out her thoughts, Liu Piaopiao coughed violently, then aimed at Consort Liu and spat a mouthful of blood into her face.
Consort Liu stared blankly at the person who had just spat out blood, then her body went limp and she collapsed.
She touched her face and, lo and behold, her hand was covered in blood.
"Ah!!! Someone help! Someone come quick!"
Chaos erupted inside the hall.
A group of people came in noisily, busy wiping Consort Liu's face and changing her clothes.
Wiping her face couldn't stop her inner breakdown. Consort Liu shouted like a madwoman, "Quickly prepare water! I want to take a bath!"
