Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

Shen Xi heaved a sigh of relief only after Xu Zuyao left, and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

I didn't expect that this guy was really fooled by him.

Fortunately, I didn’t watch their performances in vain.

Otherwise he would really be exposed. It's really difficult to play a bad guy and say things against his will.

Shen Xi chuckled twice.

He walked out of the house happily and told Jiang Shiyuan with a proud look on his face that he had done it.

Jiang Shiyuan looked at Shen Xi with half belief and half doubt.

We sent people to observe Xu Zuyao's actions, and it certainly didn't look like he was going to cause any trouble.

Only then did I completely believe Shen Xi's words.

Shen Xi stood outside Lin Shu's house and called Lin Shu in a low voice.

Then he entered the room.

Lin Shu only started to sob softly when he saw Shen Xi returned safe and sound.

Throw herself into Shen Xi's arms.

Shen Xi was so distressed that he hugged Lin Shu and tried to comfort him.

Just as I was about to sit down, I felt a sharp pain in my buttocks.

He jumped up suddenly, which scared Lin Shu.

Lin Shu looked at Shen Xi with tearful eyes, looking down from time to time.

[Woo woo, damn Xu Zuyao, Shen Xi is not a child anymore, how can you spank Shen Xi. ]

[He is too rude. How can Shen Xi face people in the future if he does this? ]

[It was so noisy outside just now, there must be a lot of people, did they all see it? ]

Shen Xi was silent, standing there, hugging Lin Shu and shaking him awkwardly.

He really wanted to explain that he just fell and it was not what Lin Shu thought.

But he couldn't say it, and could only swallow all the explanations with tears.

Only after Lin Shu fell asleep did Shen Xi return to the room and apply medicine on himself.

Fortunately, the ointment Lin Shu gave him was very effective. When he woke up, he was almost healed.

I basically don't feel any pain anymore.

The next morning, the imperial guards came to report.

Several households reported vomiting.

Shen Xi asked quickly, "The empty house we cleared out yesterday was used as a quarantine area."

"Are you all ready?"

The visitor nodded quickly.

"Someone has been sent there for quarantine."

Shen Xi nodded and said, "Let the two people who sent people do a thorough cleaning."

“After disinfection with alcohol, they were also isolated inside the house.”

"Master Shen, they have already consciously stayed in the room you mentioned."

Shen Xi nodded and said, "That's good. We must increase patrols over there and everyone must wear masks."

Shen Xi nodded, prepared to take another look at Lin Shu, and then go to the isolation area.

When Lin Shu saw the worried Shen Xi, he immediately guessed what was going on.

She secretly stuffed the two disease-eliminating pills and the anti-poison pill that she had replaced last night into Shen Xi's lapel.

[No matter what, I just hope Shen Xi can come out safely. ]

Shen Xi held Lin Shu for a long time before letting go. He then put Lin Shu on the bed and told the wet nurse to take good care of Lin Shu.

Turned around and left resolutely.

Lin Shu looked at Shen Xi's back and couldn't help but shed tears.

For several days, the wet nurse stayed with Lin Shu in the room.

Do not come into contact with anyone except the person who delivers the food.

Not only that, the ground is sprayed with alcohol every day.

Afraid that Lin Shu would be infected.

Therefore, Lin Shu had no access to any news from the outside world and was worried every day.

At this time, Xu Zuyao was almost suffocated by some people.

"Didn't you say you're not allowed to run around?"

"Why don't you listen?"

"Feeling suffocated at home?"

"Okay, okay, it will be fun when someone dies, right? After all, there are graves all around us, and we don't have to worry about epidemics. You can talk about whatever you want, right?"

"It won't be that serious?"

"If everyone wasn't locked up at home, do you think we could still control it? I'm afraid this is a dead city!"

"Don't you know that some of the people who are sick are almost dying? Just imagine if you get sick, no one in your family will be able to escape."

"Go back here if you don't want to!"

Xu Zuyao rubbed his eyebrows. He didn't understand why someone would feel so bored that he would sneak out of the dog hole at home just to take a walk around.

There was even a drunkard who actually drank the alcohol that Shen Xi had someone send him as wine and almost died at home.

Some people were reluctant to use masks, so they sealed up the masks sent to them and made clothes for their children at home.

He was almost fainted by these guys these days.

Fortunately, under his military deterrence and the latest news about the disease, everyone calmed down.

The good news is that no one has died yet.

And the anti-poison pill given by the princess is useful.

In order to get more points for Lin Shu, he found out all the positive rumors about Lin Shu from Jiang Shiyuan and the imperial guards.

People were sent to every street to loudly advertise through the doors.

One is to entertain those who can't hold it in, and the other is to brainwash everyone and make them believe in Lin Shu.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, Lin Shu's favorability rating increased again.

After a month, Shen Xi finally made some progress. Without using the Baibingquanxiaodan given by Lin Shu, he was finally able to curb the spread of the plague and cure the patients.

Within a month, all the letters they sent to the capital were intercepted.

Nor did he receive any letters from the capital.

After Jiang Shiyuan learned about Shen Xi's treatment progress, he began to implement the second phase plan.

Let the villagers of Songfeng Town cooperate in the acting.

The residents of Songfeng Town, who had been trapped for a month, were naturally unwilling to do so and all expressed that they would be able to perform well.

Jiang Shiyuan smiled and asked the women in the town to draw them as if they were critically ill.

Let them cough from time to time.

Some even stuffed blood bags into their hands and asked them to sprinkle the blood bags in front of themselves after they coughed.

Then the whole Songfeng Town was filled with noisy sounds again.

This made the spies who came to gather intelligence somewhat uncertain about the real situation in the town.

After all, this disease is highly contagious. If they go in, there is no way they will be allowed to come back alive.

The spies could only watch from a distance and go back to report what they "saw".

"I thought the legendary leader of the Qihuang School was so powerful."

"If people are locked up at home for a month, the infection will still spread."

"I was so nervous. I thought he could really cure me. I didn't think I needed to use force to suppress him."

When the prefect heard the news, he burst into laughter and all his previous worries disappeared.

The masked man next to him remained silent.

"Send someone in to take a look. Otherwise, how do you know those people are not putting on a show for you?"

The prefect gasped when he heard this.

"What if they bring the disease back with them?"

The masked man sneered.

"Let them send a message over a long distance, and then kill them on the spot."

The prefect looked at the man in shock.

"That's not good. If the disease is brought out, the matter will get out of hand. I will die."

The masked man sneered.

In just a moment, he grabbed the prefect's neck.

"If you don't do as I say, I'll kill you now!"
