When Wan Shufang heard the emperor's matter-of-fact tone, she suddenly felt irritated.

If Yanran hadn't suggested it, she and Wei Mingzhou wouldn't have thought of starting a fire.

However, these weirdos may have offspring of the Phoenix Gu in their bodies. No matter how powerful these insects are, they are still alive.

Faced with something like fire that can destroy everything, they will naturally feel fear instinctively.

But Wan Shufang was not willing to just burn these weirdos to death, simply because these weirdos were living people.

The reason why they turned into zombies was because of the sub-parasites that could control them.

If we can find a way to remove these sub-parasites, these people might be able to recover as normal.

"Your Majesty, don't think these monsters are scary. They bite people when they see them and make the people they bite suffer the same fate as them. But they are also human beings. Even if they look very scary at the moment, they are still living people, so we can't burn them with fire."

Wan Shufang immediately explained for the emperor, and immediately ordered Lin Jing to take people to dismantle the cold palace, and then burn the dismantled wood outside the cold palace, so that the monsters would feel dangerous and stay away from the cold palace.

"But they don't look like the same person at all." After hearing Wan Shufang's explanation, the emperor not only did not feel relieved, but became even more alert.

He stared at Wan Shufang with cold eyes, as if he wanted to use his powerful aura to force her to set fire to these weirdos.

Wan Shufang felt his powerful aura and her eyes turned slightly cold.

"Your Majesty, although most of the weirdos trapped in the palace are eunuchs and palace maids, some of them are from the Imperial Guards."

"If they were burned to death, their families would probably be resentful. Besides, Luoyang City is now occupied by monsters, and the Royal Guards are the main force to resist the monsters."

"If they knew about this, their morale would be damaged, and they would not have the courage to deal with these weirdos who keep coming out."

Lin Jing turned his head to look at the emperor and saw that he had a very tough attitude. It was as if after being frightened, he no longer regarded these weirdos as human beings, but only as monsters that were about to be burned.

When Lin Jing first saw the strange people, he also thought they were monsters. He wished he could become extremely powerful so that he could smash them to pieces with one punch.

However, after hearing Wan Shufang's explanation, he gave up the idea. After all, no matter how terrifying these people were, they were still living people.

"Lin Jing, you know how scary these weirdos are."

Su Dequan guessed the emperor's thoughts and knew that he was extremely frightened and disgusted with these ugly monsters, so he immediately stood up and spoke.

"The most important thing is that these weirdos are very vicious. All the people who protected me and His Majesty along the way were killed by these weirdos."

"They are so powerful, and they bite people whenever they see them, leaving no chance for us to breathe. Now we finally have a way to deal with them. How can you use a living person to replace them and persuade His Majesty to take back his order?"

"Do you know how many people will be killed if they get out? If all the people in Dajing become weirdos, the whole world will probably become a world of weirdos. How can people like us survive then?"

Su Dequan's voice trembled as he spoke, as if he was frightened by the scene he imagined.

Chen Changli stared at him intently, his voice light but with a warning: "Eunuch Su, my wife has already explained the situation of these people clearly, how can you ignore it?"

"You have to know that there are a total of 100,000 palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the palace, and there are more than 500,000 people in the entire Luoyang City. They were all harmed by the weirdo and became so horrible."

"If Your Majesty directly ordered them to be burned to death, wouldn't that kill more than 600,000 people at once? So many people died under Your Majesty's order, what do you think those rebels will think?"

"Prince Rong is watching Luoyang from outside the city, and there may be rebels running around in Luoyang, trying to use these weirdos to cause trouble for Your Majesty."

"Such a big thing cannot be hidden from them. Once they know about it, they will definitely publicize it. By then, your Majesty's reputation will be ruined, and the people will spit on your Majesty and join the rebels."

Chen Changli's words were not alarmist. After all, after Princess An Qing kidnapped the doctor, she deliberately spread some rumors that were unfavorable to the emperor.

When the queen died, the emperor made a big fuss about her death and killed many civil and military officials. No matter how well the officials who remained performed, they were all very frightened.

If they knew that the emperor ordered the killing of more than 600,000 people, including their relatives, how could they still be loyal to the emperor?

They were afraid that before other people could react, they would open the city gates and surrender to the rebels with their families.

"I was indeed inconsiderate." The emperor did not take Wan Shufang's words to heart at all.

After Chen Changli finished his words, the emperor thought about it and suddenly felt that Chen Changli was absolutely right.

He is the emperor, so he would not be wrong even if he was wrong. However, the situation is pressing now, and no matter how much he does not think he is wrong, he has to show his attitude.

"Your Majesty, you are busy with all kinds of affairs, and you don't know any medicine, so how can you know about these weird people?"

Su Dequan heard that the emperor's tone was not very good, and he obviously knew that he would lose face.

He immediately began to flatter him, and then looked at Wan Shufang subtly, as if blaming her for not considering the emperor's face.

When Wan Shufang felt his gaze coming at her, her heart sank.

Was Sude blaming herself for all this? She felt angry and amused at the same time.

The emperor realized his mistake, so how could Su Dequan lie with his eyes open?

Wan Shufang was about to refute Su Dequan when she reached this point.

Chen Changli suddenly coughed, attracting her attention.

"What's wrong with you?" Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli with great concern.

Seeing that his face was abnormally pale, Wan Shufang's eyes slightly reddened: "Are you feeling unwell again? It's a pity that I don't have any suitable medicine at hand, otherwise..."

"Shufang, this is an old illness of mine. You don't have to worry about me." After hearing Wan Shufang's words, Chen Changli immediately patted the back of her hand to comfort her, and then respectfully said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, although my wife knows medical skills, she is helpless in the face of such a strange situation as this weirdo."

Although Chen Changli did not explicitly refute Su Dequan in this sentence, everyone could understand the meaning of his words.

Su Dequan looked at him in disbelief. Facing his calm appearance, a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes: "General Chen, do you know..."

Chen Changli immediately interrupted him: "Eunuch Su, what we need to do now is to find a way to deal with these weirdos, not to think about whether these weirdos should be burned to death."
