He thought that in the end, she hadn't understood his advice back then, and in the end, she had betrayed the word "love".
Yan Shiren chuckled, neither mocking nor agreeing, seemingly expressing no opinion whatsoever.
The officials around them knelt far away in fear. The two were discussing who should die. It was best for them to stay away as much as possible. After such an incident, their careers were probably over. They could only hope that it wouldn't end like the case of the Chiang family, where the entire family was executed.
"If you love the country, Your Highness, then live well. This country is still yours." He stood up with difficulty, beckoned to a servant, and with the servant's help, left step by step.
The prince did not leave; he remained kneeling before the flood, silent and motionless, and no one dared to persuade him.
When Zhao Shu arrived, she saw that his eyes were red and his gaze was resolute, but her heart was shattered by the blow. "Ah Jun, am I not suitable?"
From childhood, he had vowed to govern the world with all his heart, and he was prepared to dedicate his life to his people. But now, they died before his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it. For the first time, he doubted whether he was capable of being an emperor.
“No, you are suitable, Crown Prince. This is a conspiracy, and its purpose is to destroy you.” Zhao Shu knelt down with him. This river has sustained tens of millions of people and is the mother river, but it has also taken the lives of countless people.
"Ah Jun, is it really possible that someone would risk so many lives to kill me?" His life is worthless to someone who has lost his family, his home, and his loved ones.
Zhao Shu remained silent for a long time. She wasn't sure either. Although Zhao Bi was cunning, he wasn't stupid. He probably wouldn't use so many people's lives to plot something.
The people are the water that carries the boat.
But she was wrong. Su Xiu was skilled in martial arts, but she couldn't even walk steadily. She fell several times before she reached Zhao Shu's side and said in a panic, "Princess, there is a plague in the city!"
"What?" Zhao Shu was struck dumb. "What happened?"
"Today, a doctor from the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic went to see a woman who had been coughing for several days. It was originally just a common case of typhoid fever, but when he went to see her today, the doctor ran away and notified the government that the woman had been isolated."
Before she could finish speaking, she took a long breath and continued, "Several people have been found to have the plague both outside and inside the city! What should we do, Princess? Lord Chen said that given the situation, we should immediately seal off the city and villages, and if the plague cannot be cured, we will have to burn down the city and villages."
The incubation period for plague is generally 2 to 8 days for the bubonic form and several hours to 2 to 3 days for the pulmonary form. Since it has only been discovered now, many people have certainly already been infected.
The collapse of the dam and the outbreak of plague were no accident! Someone must be manipulating all of this behind the scenes. Zhao Shu felt a chill in her heart when she thought of what she had done to Jinzaofang. Zhao Bi, Zhao Bi, how could you be so heartless and insane!
Have you ever considered that even if you gain the throne, it will only be a mess? The plague! How dare you touch it?
Ignorance is terrifying!
In the 6th century AD, the plague epidemic lasted for fifty or sixty years. During its peak, tens of thousands of people died every day, with a total death toll of nearly one hundred million, leading to the decline of the Eastern Roman Empire.
How dare he? How dare he!
