Shui Yichen looked at the closed city gate gloomyly, imagining that the woman was treating patients inside now, she must not even be able to care about herself.
"Open the door." Shui Yichen said coldly.
"Your Majesty?" Lei Yingchun was taken aback, not knowing what Shui Yichen was planning to do.
"She wants to go in, won't you stop her?" Shui Yichen looked at Lei Yingchun coldly, thinking of the environment she was in right now, he felt an indescribable anger in his heart.
Lei Yingchun said, "Your Majesty, I have tried to stop Concubine Tian, but... Concubine Tian went in and opened the city gate by herself, we couldn't stop her at all."
Shui Yichen narrowed his eyes slightly, "She opened the city gate by herself?"
"Yes, the son-in-law is also inside..." Lei Yingchun whispered.
"Open the door." Shui Yichen said with a sullen face.
Lei Yingchun looked at Shui Yichen in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, it's too dangerous inside, I don't know how Tianfei and the others are doing, you must not go in..."
"I don't want to say the same thing again." Shui Yichen said coldly.
"Your Majesty!" Lei Yingchun knelt in front of Shui Yichen, "You are a man of gold, you cannot take risks."
Shui Yichen looked up at the others, "Go and open the city gate."
Lei Yingchun hugged Shui Yichen's calf, "Your Majesty, the epidemic is dangerous, you can't go in, Your Majesty..."
"If you don't open the door again, I will cut off your head." Shui Yichen said angrily, and he turned to look at the lieutenant general, "Open the city gate."
"Go and bring all the imperial doctors." Lei Yingchun knew that there was no way to stop Shui Yichen, he knew Shui Yichen's feelings for Concubine Tian, he would definitely go in regardless.
The city gate opened slowly, Shui Yichen strode in, and Lei Yingchun followed closely behind him.
There was still no one on the street, and there was smoke rising from the kitchen in the distance, Shui Yichen strode towards that direction.
"The corpse..." Lei Yingchun was taken aback for a moment.
"What corpse?" Shui Yichen asked in a deep voice.
Lei Yingchun replied, "A few days ago, there were many sick and dead bodies piled up in the alley... It should be Tianfei who asked someone to deal with it."
Shui Yichen quickened his pace until he could smell the strong smell of medicine in the air.
"Concubine Tian is there." Lei Yingchun pointed to the uncollapsed room ahead, where Ye Zhen was feeding medicine to a woman.
After the earthquake, most of Luomei City seemed to be preserved, so many people who lost everything came here. The epidemic in Luomei City was the worst, and those who were not sick had already left.
Shui Yichen ordered all the sick people to be sent to Luomei City after several imperial doctors contracted the disease at the same time, in order to completely eliminate the disease, so most of Luomei City are not locals, and many of them are from outside , This is why many people died of illness outside.
He knew it was too cruel to do so, but if he didn't, more people would die.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Shui Yichen strode up to Ye Zhen and asked her angrily.
Hearing Shui Yichen's voice, Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise, she looked back, and slowly stood up, "Why are you here?"
"I should be asking you this." Shui Yichen stared at her white face like jade, "Why are you here? Don't you know where this is? Do you think you won't get sick?"
"I know why I'm here." Ye Zhen said flatly, taking the bowl in her hand to the drug boy, she didn't want to argue with Shui Yichen here.
Zhao Tianji just came out of the house, and when he saw Shui Yichen, he widened his eyes, "Huang..."
Shui Yichen glanced at him coldly, Zhao Tianji swallowed his words, lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Here is for you." Ye Zhen said to Zhao Tianji, then turned and walked towards the General's Mansion.
"Are you going to kill yourself?" Shui Yichen followed Ye Zhen, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. After getting her letter of abdication, he felt as if a beast had woken up in his body, irritated , irritable, wanted to grab her completely in front of him and swallow her in one gulp.
Ye Zhen stopped, turned around and looked at him indifferently, "I cherish my life very much, and I also respect the lives of others. You should have known that I would come after you ordered the massacre of the city."
"I had to do this." Shui Yichen explained, not wanting to become a cruel and heartless person in her mind.
"Is it a last resort, or is it afraid to face it?" Ye Zhen stared straight at him, "This natural disaster has nothing to do with anyone, do you think it's because of your enthronement?"
Shui Yichen was poked in the center of his mind, and a look of anger flashed in his eyes, "I didn't think so."
"If you really massacred the city, that would be the biggest disaster. If there is any disease that cannot be cured, how do you know you will fail if you haven't tried hard?" Ye Zhen said lightly, "You don't have to tell me to leave, it can't be cured. Good them, I will not go."
"Do you have to fight against me?" Shui Yichen asked in a low voice.
"I'm not trying to fight against you." Ye Zhen shook her head lightly, "Shui Yichen, I can't help seeing so many people who didn't try their best when I was able to cure them, and ended up not dying of the disease, but dying in the In a big fire, as a king, you should not stop killing by killing, but protect your subjects, they trust you, respect you, and think that you can protect them, instead of abandoning them when they are angry."
Shui Yichen said with a sullen face, "I don't want to be this emperor."
"You are deceiving yourself!" Ye Zhen said coldly, "During the four years I was away, you have already been the emperor of this country, Shui Yichen, why don't you really face the ambition in your heart, if you don't have ambition , you won’t order the massacre of the city. Are you coming to me today because you are afraid that I will affect your authority? You can rest assured that as long as their illness recovers, I will leave here and will not come back.”
"You really see me that way?" Shui Yichen's eyes turned red, looking at Ye Zhen angrily and desperately like a trapped animal, "What do you think I want? Why did I come here from Huaguo? Do not you know?"
Ye Zhen didn't avoid his gaze, she looked at him calmly, "I'm very grateful that you helped me."
"I don't want your gratitude!" Shui Yichen roared, "Lu Yaoyao, I like you and want to stay by your side, even if I can't have you, I just need to look at you, you don't even have this chance None for me."
"Shui Yichen, I'm already a wife." Ye Zhen frowned and took a step back.
"I know." Shui Yichen said painfully, "Back then... I should have tried my best to keep you in China."
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart, "Get out of here quickly, your complexion doesn't look very good."
"Aren't you afraid that I will really order the massacre of the city?" Shui Yichen asked in a low voice.
"Whatever you want." Ye Zhen said lightly.
