After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The old prince ran forward in disbelief, stopped the pair of officers and soldiers, and asked them to put the body down.

Seeing that it was the old prince, the officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey and put down the wooden planks they were carrying.

The old prince looked at the man, then at the woman, and finally at the child lying in the woman's arms. They were both lifeless.

"What, what's going on?" the old prince asked angrily.

Seeing this situation, the deputy commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing ran over, saluted the old prince first, and then explained: "They died of a sudden epidemic."

"They were obviously fine in the afternoon, how could they get the disease!" The old prince didn't believe it.

Deputy Commander Chang explained: "The epidemic in Shannian Camp is very fierce and urgent. It can kill people in one or two hours, and even rescue can't be done."

The old prince inspected the bodies of three members of the family one by one. They all had livid faces, but no injuries could be seen. They really seemed to have died of a sudden illness.

The old prince sighed heavily. He asked the family of three to come back, not wanting them to get sick suddenly.

"They came back from outside this afternoon. Have they had a full meal?"

Deputy Commander Chang replied: "I received the porridge and steamed buns."

The old prince wiped his face. At least he had a full meal before he died, so he would not starve to death.

"What to do with this body?"

"The disease is contagious and the bodies will be incinerated."

The old prince waved his hand and asked the officers and soldiers to carry the body away. Although he felt uncomfortable, this disease could not be cured overnight.

He looked toward the porridge shed and saw several people running back from outside. These people were obviously hungry, so they picked up the steamed buns in the basket and ate them.

The waiter served rice porridge, and another person stuffed a steamed bun, urging them to go inside and eat.

Scatteredly, many people who escaped came back.

The old prince got on his horse again, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "How can this epidemic be prevented?"

"The Taiyuan Hospital has issued a prescription, and the imperial court has prepared the medicine. If you get sick, take the medicine." the deputy commander replied.

The old prince thought for a while and said: "We should separate those who are sick from those who are not. After all, it is contagious... Hey, since it is contagious, your officers and soldiers have to deal with the corpses. Isn't anyone infected?"

Vice Commander Chang coughed dryly and said, "We... none of us are infected."

The old prince glanced at the officers and soldiers who were carrying away the body, and then at the people standing guard outside. No one was wearing a veil for protection.

Could it be that this epidemic only recognizes people from the charity camp?

After the old prince left, Deputy Commander Chang wiped his sweat and ran towards the tent in the distance.

"People are gone?"

"Go back to Your Highness, the old prince has left."

Vice Commander Chang raised his head and saw His Royal Highness Qin Shengrui leaning on the Grand Master's chair covered with a thick cashmere blanket. After listening to his words, he yawned.

"This old thing is really annoying."

"Your Highness, why don't you go back home and rest?"

"My Highness also thinks so, but this matter must not happen unexpectedly."

"Many fugitives have returned."

"Oh, this trick really works. These cheap slaves came back after smelling the fragrance of rice."

Deputy Commander Chang lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and asked: "Those who escaped should have died, but the old, weak, women and children who stayed in Shannian Camp..."

Qin Shengrui narrowed his eyes, "They are all dead, and Shengjing is clean."

After saying that, Qin Shengrui waved his hand, "Okay, let's continue to guard outside."

Vice Commander Chang obeyed orders and although he did not agree with Qin Shengrui's approach, he did not dare to say anything. When he went out, he saw Jiang Yunying coming, and the maid behind her was carrying a food box.

After Deputy Commander Chang saluted, the concubine smiled gently at him and said, "Vice Commander Chang, thank you for your hard work. You have done a great job this time, and His Highness will definitely use you in the future."

"It's my humble duty and I dare not ask for credit."

"Your Highness cherishes his talents. The deputy commander often follows His Highness. Sooner or later, the deputy commander's prefix will be removed."

Deputy Commander Chang suddenly thought that their commander suddenly fell ill at this critical moment. Could it be because he refused to obey His Highness the Fourth?

After Jiang Yunying finished speaking, her maid took the food box in her hand and asked her to wait outside, then entered the tent alone.

Seeing Qin Shengrui dozing off with his chin propped up, snoring one after another, a trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Yunying's eyes.

She stepped forward and called Qin Shengrui softly. When she saw that he had woken up, she immediately put on a smile.

"Your Highness must be tired, your face is thin." Jiang Yunying said as she put the food box on the table and laid out the food one by one. "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat well, so I asked the kitchen to make a few dishes that you like. The dishes are specially brought to you."

Seeing Jiang Yunying's gentleness, Qin Shengrui pulled her into his arms and couldn't help but become affectionate.

"Your Highness... Your Highness!" Jiang Yunying pushed Qin Shengrui hard. Seeing that his face was darkened and he was busy and pretending to be shy, she took his hand and put it on her stomach, "The child misses his father too."

Qin Shengrui saw that Jiang Yunying's belly was already bulging, and he really shouldn't mess with it, so he felt a little disappointed at the moment. He pulled his hand back, pushed Jiang Yunying aside, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Jiang Yunying was pushed by him, and her stomach almost hit the corner of the table. She was shocked and couldn't help but secretly glare at Qin Shengrui. I saw him wolfing down his food again, showing no sign of eating at all, and even more disgusted.

"Give me a bowl of soup." Qin Shengrui opened his mouth to speak, and the rice flew out as well.

Jiang Yunying suppressed her disgust, stepped forward, filled a bowl of soup, and placed it in front of Qin Shengrui, "Your Highness, be careful not to burn it."

"Ah."

Jiang Yunying sat down on the side and glanced out, "Your Highness, we must not rush into the matter of Shan Nian Camp. Several or more than a dozen people die in a day. It is presumed that they died due to the epidemic. No one doubts it, but if they die all at once, Dozens of them will die within a few days, and it is inevitable that they will cause trouble."

"You're just a woman, don't interrupt."

"Your Highness..."

"Okay, that's so long-winded!"

Jiang Yunying secretly took a deep breath. Mud couldn't support the wall. It really made sense. Even if you hold it up by force, sooner or later it will fall to the ground.

With this vicious move, the person who did it hides behind and rushes forward. If something goes wrong, he will naturally take the blame.

"Your Highness, even a father, a son, a brother, sometimes have to guard against that..."

Before Jiang Yunying finished speaking, an officer came in and reported: "Your Highness, the people below made a mistake and gave a pot of poisonous porridge to the people inside."

Qin Shengrui raised his head, glanced at the officer and soldier, and cursed: "Trash!"

Jiang Yunying couldn't help but interjected: "Can it still be saved? Don't let them eat it or call a doctor..."

Qin Shengrui slapped his chopsticks on the table, "Shut up!"

"Your Highness, this matter cannot be ignored..."

"roll!"

Jiang Yunying also wanted to persuade Qin Shengrui to be careful, but his face darkened and he could only close his mouth and walk out.

When she was about to go out, she heard Qin Shengrui say: "Are there dozens of people dead? They are all going to die anyway. They will be thrown into the fire pit early tomorrow morning within the next two days."
