Chapter 189: Danger, how can it be worth the prince's sacrifice of his own flesh and blood?
Lin Miaoyin hurried out.
As soon as I finished eating the hot pot, I saw a few people lying on the street not far away.
Motionless, as if without breath.
"You go and take a look," she instructed Yuzhu and Dingxiang.
There seemed to be a touch of red floating in front of her eyes. She looked up and saw a man in red sitting in front of the window on the third floor. It was Shen Yu.
At this moment he was wiping his hands slowly.
The white scarf quickly turned scarlet in his hands. The glaring red was gorgeous and enchanting.
There was a frost in his eyes, like the ice and snow on the Tianshan Mountains.
It's frightening.
Such Shen Yu made Lin Miaoyin feel unfamiliar.
It made her even more frightened.
A chill suddenly emerged from the soles of my feet and climbed up my spine.
As soon as Shen Yu loosened his hand, the blood-stained handkerchief slowly fell down and landed at Lin Miaoyin's feet.
Over there, after Yuzhu and Dingxiang checked on the three people, they cried out in surprise, "Dead!"
"Princess, they seem to have died of smallpox!"
Lin Miaoyin saw from afar that several people's faces were covered with red papules. It was indeed smallpox. But their symptoms at this time were like a rash that had just appeared, and they would not die from the disease.
"No, it doesn't look like smallpox." Yuzhu examined carefully and quickly denied Dingxiang's judgment.
"But judging from the symptoms, it's smallpox," Ding Xiang said seriously.
As they were talking, the bailiffs from Jingzhao Prefecture came rushing over to collect the body.
The chief supervisor was still Kang Dayong. He first bowed to Lin Miaoyin, and then ordered the people behind him to carry the bodies of the three people away.
Since the city was sealed off, no one in the city has died of smallpox.
He had been relatively free these days and was preparing to finish his mission and go home to be with his wife and children tonight when he received the task of collecting the bodies.
And the place where the bodies were collected was in front of Princess Ning’s Yipintang.
He was surprised at first.
With Princess Ning's medical skills, how could there still be patients dying of smallpox?
From the look on her face, she seemed completely unaware.
If it was something else, he could still help investigate, but since these people died of smallpox, the higher-ups would not investigate.
"Wait a minute." Lin Miaoyin stopped the man.
"I wonder if Princess Ning has any other instructions?" Kang Dayong was now extremely respectful to Lin Miaoyin.
Not only did she save his son, she also minimized the risk of his disfigurement. She was the benefactor of their entire family.
Lin Miaoyin stepped forward, intending to check it out personally.
Yuzhu and Dingxiang stopped her, "Princess, it's very filthy, don't dirty your eyes."
These two little girls have been helping to treat smallpox patients these days. Not only have they learned how to give injections and infusions, they have also become a lot braver.
Faced with three horrific-looking corpses on the ground, he didn't even blink.
But Lin Miaoyin is not some delicate flower.
She used to go to the morgue often and had seen countless corpses.
There were also many corpses with faces more terrifying than theirs.
She lifted the cloth that the yamen runners had covered the room with and checked it carefully, but found nothing unusual.
On the surface, it seemed that he had indeed died of smallpox as Dingxiang had said.
But she also found something strange about what Yuzhu said.
Their symptoms were very mild, far from the point of death. The dark red papules on their faces also looked a bit strange, as if they were triggered by someone in their last moments.
"I'd like to trouble you, Kang Du, to report this to the prefect and perform an autopsy on the bodies of these people."
"Princess Ning suspects that the three people did not die of smallpox?" Kang Dayong asked doubtfully.
Smallpox is highly contagious, and even after death, the corpse is still contagious. According to convention, the bodies of these three people must be immediately taken to a mass grave and burned.
It is impossible to take it to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Even if he agreed, the prefect would never agree.
Even if the prefect agrees, the people in Jingzhao Prefecture will not agree. The three hundred people in Jingzhao Prefecture cannot afford this risk.
Lin Miaoyin understood his intention and immediately ordered Dingxiang to go with him with a hundred doses of vaccine.
Kang Dayong no longer had any worries and set off immediately.
After a few people left, Lin Miaoyin raised her head and looked towards the window on the third floor.
Shen Yu was still sitting by the window. The snow in his eyes had melted away, and he had regained his laziness as before, as if the frost had never existed.
"Did you do this?" she asked.
"Well, they deserved to die." Shen Yu did not deny it. He took the wet towel from Liu Wumei gracefully and washed his hands again.
Lin Miaoyin suddenly became angry, "You..."
Just as she opened her mouth, she saw Yuzhu coming over with a carriage, and she immediately suppressed the anger that was surging in her heart.
"No matter what the autopsy results are, to outsiders, these three people now died of smallpox. Your Majesty... I thought you should go to the Temple of Heaven, so I took the initiative to send a carriage."
Lin Miaoyin got on the carriage with her help, "Let's go."
At that time, in order to allow her to successfully prevent and treat smallpox, Beigong You petitioned Emperor Ming, stating that if anyone was infected or died from the smallpox vaccination, he would cut his own throat.
Now that three lives have been lost at once, Beigong You’s body might not be able to withstand it.
Of course she had to go.
As for Shen Yu's murder, she will investigate it when she comes back.
When I thought of that strange red, cold sweat broke out again. It was not until I got into the carriage that the chill on my back gradually faded away.
Shen Yu is full of poison.
She had always known this was a dangerous man.
But since the contact, except for the initial temptation, Shen Yu has always been law-abiding and has never done anything out of the ordinary, which has lowered her guard.
But poisonous snakes will always bite.
While Lin Miaoyin was feeling uneasy, the carriage arrived outside the Temple of Heaven.
Ye Qing, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard who was supposed to be guarding outside, had disappeared. Only a few scattered Imperial Guards were left around. Lin Miaoyin's heart skipped a beat.
She walked quickly into the Temple of Heaven.
Under Optimus Prime, there were people surrounding it in three layers inside and outside.
The outermost were the Imperial Guards, and the innermost were the soldiers from Prince Qi’s Palace and the servants from Prince Ning’s Palace.
Just as Lin Miaoyin pushed the people away, Nanny Zhang's heart-wrenching voice came out from the crowd, "Prince, why are you so stupid!"
"What are you still standing there for? Go call the imperial physician!" This was the voice of King Qi Beigong Xian.
Lin Miaoyin's heart was gripped and she quickly climbed onto Optimus Prime.
Today, Beigong You was wearing light-colored clothes, which was rare. He could be seen lying in a pool of blood from a distance.
His chest and waist were covered in red.
Under the illumination of the blazing torches, it looked exceptionally gorgeous.
Feng Ming and Nanny Zhang beside him were desperately pressing the wounds on his waist and abdomen, anxiously trying to stop the bleeding.
At this time, the shackles on his hands and feet were still there.
The iron chain rattled due to Feng Ming and Nanny Zhang's movements, and the sound of it rubbing against the bluestone bricks was extremely sharp and painful.
"Your Highness, why do you always stab people with your knife in fatal places?" Nanny Zhang felt very distressed.
She had heard that the three dead were just street thugs, how could they be worth the prince risking his own life?
Besides, there is no news from Jingzhao Prefecture and the cause of death has not been determined yet.
The prince is so honest and so stupid.
"Fourth brother's sister-in-law!" Beigong Xian looked at Lin Miaoyin who had an anxious look on her face and called out subconsciously.
His voice instantly attracted the attention of Nanny Zhang and Feng Ming.
Both of them showed joy on their faces, "Princess!"
