Lin Wanqing was unaware that Chen Fu, who had just pledged his loyalty to her, had turned around and told Qin Wang about their conversation.
Qin Wang chuckled softly after hearing this, "Our queen truly hates the Su family to the bone. But that's fine, only in this way can she be useful. Chen Fu, you've done a good job. Keep a close eye on the queen and my good nephew for me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Chen Fu walked out of the Qinwang Mansion through the back door and quietly returned to Fei Molong's residence.
His father taught him from a young age that a cunning rabbit has three burrows and you shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. How could he possibly bet everything on just one master?
Meanwhile, the loyalist side had gathered the imperial physicians from the palace and the shamans from various tribes to find a solution to the plague in the Frostmoon tribe, but no one had any clues.
I searched through all the medical books, and I had never heard of an epidemic before, from ancient times to the present.
After a few days, the chieftain of the Frostmoon tribe did not show any symptoms, and Lin Wanqing was relieved to know that he was not infected.
However, news from the Frostmoon tribe indicated that the death toll was rising, and less than a third of the original population remained.
Even some tribes near the Frostmoon tribe have begun to show symptoms. However, the chieftains of these tribes already knew about the situation in the Frostmoon tribe and isolated the infected people in advance to prevent the spread to other members of the tribe. The spread was slower than in the Frostmoon tribe.
Even so, people were dying every day, and some tribes had begun to try to escape, but guards sent by the Jingqiang were stationed on all the escape routes.
The result was that either they would die from the disease, or they might be killed by the guards of Jingqiang.
But since death was inevitable anyway, some tribes united and began to attack the checkpoints, resulting in deaths on both sides.
When Wanyan Da found out, he had no choice but to send more guards to intercept those who wanted to escape.
However, many guards knew about the epidemic and were afraid of being infected, so they dared not do their best to stop and touch those people.
If this continues, one day the Frostmoon tribe and other tribes will break out.
If they escape to Jingqiang or other places, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wanyan Da summoned the king to the palace every day, but still made no progress.
Lin Wanqing saw that Wanyan Da's expression was getting worse and worse as he looked at her, and she knew that she couldn't delay any longer.
"Mo Zhi, come with me to the ranch." Lin Wanqing put on her veil and led Mo Zhi out of the palace to the ranch outside the palace.
When the ranch herders saw her, they all stopped and bowed to her.
Lin Wanqing nodded slightly in response, showing her friendliness; she was now used to this feeling of being high and mighty.
Lin Wanqing also understood why everyone wanted to be a star in her previous life; who wouldn't like the feeling of being respected everywhere?
She felt she was far more powerful than any celebrity; she held the lives of these lowly people in her hands, and if she wanted them to die, they would die willingly.
The ability to control life and death—what an intoxicating feeling!
Some say power is a man's aphrodisiac, but isn't it the same for women?
Once a person gets involved with power, they become addicted and will be obsessed with it for the rest of their life, never willing to give it up.
Lin Wanqing now dreams of becoming the woman who sits at the top of the power in the Nine Provinces and controls the life and death of everyone in the Nine Provinces.
Lin Wanqing arrived at the cowshed and said to Mo Zhi, "Go and have them pick out a few cows that have smallpox."
Cowpox is a common disease in cattle, so it's not a difficult problem.
Mo Zhi didn't know why the Queen wanted to find the cow that had smallpox, but she didn't ask. She just had the herdsmen find the cow.
Lin Wanqing then asked Mo Zhi to arrange a separate tent for her and led a cow inside.
She then ordered someone to stand guard outside the tent, and no one was allowed to enter without her permission.
