Aao walked in and saw Chu Zhao's wrists wrapped in gauze. He felt very guilty and secretly blamed himself for failing to protect the princess.

"I'm fine, I'll be fine soon," Chu Zhao put down his sleeves and covered his wrists, "What did that person say?"

Ah Ao calmed down and said: "That man and the person pretending to be a little Taoist priest are both dead soldiers raised by the He family. The instructions they received were to contract the plague themselves and mix among the patients to wait for an opportunity to attack the princess. The ones on duty tonight The doctor is the doctor of a medicine shop in the city, but he was just found dead in the toilet, and the one the princess killed was a dead man pretending to be a dead man."

This result was almost the same as Chu Zhao's guess, so she was not particularly surprised at first. Later, when she heard that the real doctor had been killed, she couldn't help but become angry.

She knew that a doctor who voluntarily joined the rescue team regardless of his own safety could not be incited to rebel or surrender to the enemy.

Those people must have been unable to intimidate him and were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they could only kill people to silence him and then pretend to be him.

A kind person comes with full good intentions, but in the end he doesn't end well. Wouldn't it make people feel regretful and resentful?

Another blood debt was added to the accounts of the He family and his son.

Chu Zhao closed his eyes and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Have you ever asked them how many accomplices they have? Who is the person who put the poisonous needle on my bed?"

A'ao said: "He said that most of his companions have died outside the city, and only four of them have sneaked into the Taoist temple. There should be only one poisoner left, but they don't know each other's names, they just use Code name contact, now that the matter is exposed, that person will definitely not show up again."

"If there is really only one person left, there is nothing to be afraid of. If you look carefully, you can still find it." Xie Chengfeng said.

"No need to look for it." Chu Zhao said solemnly, with a murderous look in his eyes, "Since Xiao Ge always wants me to die, then I will die in front of him."

……

The long night is finally over.

After dawn, Chu Zhao still contracted the epidemic as expected. He had a high fever and a persistent cough. In just half a day, he was already too sick to get out of bed. He had to hand over all matters to Chen Yuan. Rest in bed in the room.

Aao completely ignored the risk of being infected and guarded her every step of the way.

Wang Baobao and others came to visit after hearing the news, but they were turned away by Chu Zhao because they still had a lot of things to do and Chu Zhao didn't want to give them the disease.

The princess's illness has caused everyone to panic. What's more terrible is that her prescription is not particularly effective. The patient only showed some signs of improvement on the first day after taking it, but the condition became worse the next day. It was worse than before without taking the medicine. more serious.

The patients all felt that they had been deceived. If Princess Jingnan was really as powerful as she boasted, why did she fall ill after just being bitten?

Everyone was talking about it, and gradually new rumors spread, saying that Princess Jingnan actually followed the imperial court's orders and tricked them into coming to the Taoist temple to be medicine testers, and she didn't care about their lives at all.

Rumors spread and soon became known to everyone. Everyone was filled with indignation and came to see Princess Jingnan for an explanation, but they were blocked outside the courtyard by dozens of Taoist priests with weapons.

In this way, the rumors became more credible. When the refugees could not see the princess, they began to run towards the gate of the Taoist temple like crazy, trying to leave this cannibalistic place.

However, there were people guarding the Taoist temple, and it was impossible to get out. Those Jianghu people guarding the outside even threatened to chop off the heads of anyone who dared to get out.

The Taoist priests caught up with them and drove them back with weapons. They ordered everyone to stay in their seats and not to go anywhere. They had to report to the guards when they went to the latrine.

Not only that, the doctors still cooked a big pot of soup and forced them to drink it. If they didn't drink, they would be beheaded.

People screamed at the sky and the earth, children cried and adults howled, and the whole Taoist temple was in chaos.

During this period, no matter how much trouble everyone made, Princess Jingnan did not show up again. When it was getting dark, the news came from nowhere that Princess Jingnan was dying.

Some people say that Princess Jingnan was not only bitten by someone, but also someone sprinkled poisonous needles on her bed, causing her to be stabbed by the poisonous needles without defense, which is why she is like this.

"She deserves it. Who made her so vicious and colluded with the imperial court to harm us? Now we are not dead, but she is going to die. This is the retribution she deserves."

The people were scolding. They were grateful to her before, but now they hate her.

Later, all the doctors were called away, saying that the princess was too poisoned and might die. Chen Yuan ordered all the doctors to go over and find a way to save the princess, and no one could leave alive.

The night fell completely, and the entire Taoist temple was enveloped in an aura of death.

After the second watch, in the cells of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there was a gentle knock on the single cell where He Yunjie was located.

He immediately opened his eyes and sat up in the darkness.

After a while, the movement outside disappeared, and he got up and groped towards the door.

The chain clattered in front of him. He squatted on the ground and found an envelope from under the door.

There is a piece of paper and a fire fold in the envelope.

Fire breakers were contraband in prison, and to prevent prisoners from setting fires, no one except the jailer had them.

He Yunjie lit the fire folder, and by the light of the fire, he saw the content on the note - Princess Jingnan died of poisoning.

His hand shook and he read this short line again.

Princess Jingnan died of poisoning.

He blew out the fire certificate and sat back on the bed. There was no movement for a long time.

Is that woman really dead?

Could she die so easily?

Wasn't she the reincarnation of Emperor Xi He? She couldn't die so easily, could she?

In fact, he didn't necessarily want her to die, but it was a pity that she was always against him.

At the beginning, he actually wanted to destroy King Jingnan and the Jingnan Army, and then arrange a proper home for her...

But she obviously doesn't need it and will never be able to surrender to him.

Therefore, he could only kill her.

But, did she really die like this?

Why does he feel so unreal?

If she really died, did she think of him before she died?
