Cen Xue looked at the innocent Lan Qi'er and said cautiously: "Don't you remember what Elder Muyue said? Don't offend her. She is not a kind person. I just want to appease her by giving it to her. Is it true?
You don’t know that she is in Loulan Kingdom, and the king has never meant to reuse her. Her name as high priest is just a vacant position!"
"Oh, Master, since she refused, do we need to give her something else?" Lan Qier continued to ask.
"Yes, of course I have to give it as a gift, but of course it's not a blood swallow. Look back and see what good things we have in the palace, and just pick a few and send them to her." Cen Xue had a thoughtful idea. Since the blood swallow won't accept it, then don't
She won't refuse anything.
"Yes, Master! Lan Qi'er will take care of it later!"
Lan Qier followed Cen Xue's instructions and selected a high-quality ginseng, as well as some jewelry and silks, and sent them to the Immortal Palace in person.
This time Zana did not refuse. She looked at what the woman sent, a jewelry box of silk and satin? What is this?
She, Zana, has never cared about these things. She clearly knows that she only wears black clothes. Is this indirectly provoking herself?
Sitting in front of the bronze mirror, she took off the veil on her face. Recently, she had been adjusting her breath, trying to use witchcraft to suppress the appearance of her face. Looking at her cheeks that had now become smooth, she couldn't help but look at her eyes.
A little smile.
The original ferocious protruding blood vessels have disappeared, and she only needs to slowly restore the red and swollen skin color on her face, and she can no longer wear a veil to the world.
In this way, the king can see her appearance. Although it is not as good as that woman, as long as she gets rid of her, she will believe that the king will be her Zana's man sooner or later.
"High Priest, the Second Prince is here and waiting outside the hall." The maid's voice penetrated through the door.
As soon as Zana heard the words "Second Prince", she immediately put on her veil, stood up and walked out of the room.
"Your Majesty is here, but Zana didn't come out to greet you. I hope you will forgive me." Zana walked up to him and said with a sneer in her eyes.
Helianqi elegantly picked up a cup of tea beside him and tasted it slowly, seemingly not in a hurry to answer her.
Zana saw the purpose of his visit today and dismissed all the maids, leaving only two of them in the hall.
"My lord, I wonder what you are here for today?" Zana asked with a confused look on her face.
"What's the matter? What do you think the king is here for? You have been in the palace for several months and you have never made a move against the king. I would like to ask you what you mean? Have you forgotten the relationship between us?
Is it agreed?" Helianqi put down the cup with an angry look on his face.
"My lord, please calm down. Of course I have not forgotten this Zana, but you have to give me some time!" Zana stood in front of him and looked at him with a meaningful look in her eyes.
"Time, don't I give you a lot of time? It has been four months since you entered the palace. During this period, you know what you have done for me. Don't think that I don't know you.
What are you thinking!" Helianqi's face was obviously angry, he stood up and glared at Zana fiercely.
"Oh, please tell me, Your Majesty, what is Zana thinking about?" Zana looked relieved. She was not afraid of the coward Helianqi at all.
If the leader hadn't reached an agreement with him, as long as Papaya helped Helianqi ascend to the throne of Loulan Kingdom, Papaya's entire tribe would have moved outside the capital, lived a good life, and enjoyed glory and wealth for the rest of their lives!
But that was an agreement between the leader and him, and it didn't mean that she, Zana, would definitely abide by it. The Kuroki family had sworn a poisonous oath to be loyal to Papaya from generation to generation, but now Papaya has to cooperate with Helianqi, and she has to
Let her obey Helianqi's wishes, then don't blame her for turning against others.r
Judging from her words and deeds, as well as her current attitude towards him, Helianqi guessed that she no longer obeyed his words and had other plans of her own.
He approached her body, stood beside her, lowered his head and said to her: "You want to eliminate the queen and replace her with her!"
Facing what he said in her ears, Zana didn't feel any weird at all. Instead, she explained to him more simply: "What the prince said is true. Zana means this. As long as I want to, there is nothing I can't do."
Arrived!"
The corners of her mouth twitched. As long as Zana thought about the blood swallows that woman ate every day, a wave of waves aroused in her heart. Eat, eat, eat more, eat more, in order to grow faster...
Helianqi saw that she looked confident and confident, so she must have taken action against the queen!
"What did you do?" Helianqi asked coldly.
"Actually, it's nothing. Your Majesty will know it when the time comes. But don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Zana will definitely do what she promised you. Half a month. I only need half a month. Your Majesty will not be in a hurry."
You can't wait for half a month, right?" Zana looked at him provocatively and said.
"Okay - I trust you once, just for half a month. If you don't take any action after half a month, don't blame me for turning against you!" Helianqi had a ferocious face on his face, just like he usually did
That seductive and handsome face is completely two people.
"Then please wait for the good news, Your Majesty!" Zana is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so how can she let him bully her.
After glaring at Zana for the last time, Helianqi threw up his sleeves and left. He only gave her half a month. If she didn't take action after half a month, he would definitely eliminate Zana as a pawn!
Seeing the angry look on his face when he left, Zana didn't take it seriously at all. As long as she could become the king's new favorite and take the place of that woman, she wouldn't be just a Helianqi. She could change him with the move of her fingers.
He was crushed to death!
Time passed day by day, and Yuwen Tuo and his party had arrived at Wuji Mountain. The scene here was completely different from before. Now the towns at the foot of Wuji Mountain were like dead cities, and dead livestock could be seen everywhere.
Yuwen Tuo's army camped directly in the open space ten miles away from the town. Qinglong and Baihu escorted Dr. Keser to the town to treat the villagers. Muyue and Guiguzi learned that they had arrived and left to meet them at the military camp.
"General Yuwen, you are finally here." Muyue looked haggard, which showed that she had been working a lot on the plague recently.
"We rushed on the road non-stop, hoping we are not late." It only took Yuwen Tuo's army five days to rush from the capital to the foot of Wuji Mountain.
"Now the condition is getting more and more serious. We have never found the source of the disease. The medicine prepared by Guiguzi can delay and prevent this plague. However, if the source is not solved, the plague cannot be stopped." Mu Yue shook her head helplessly.
Tian has been searching for the source of the plague, but he still can't find a clue.
The symptoms of this plague are very strange. This is the first time she has seen them at such an old age.
"Usually the source is water, poultry and the like. Isn't it rare that it is neither of these?" Yuwen Tuo looked at Mu Yue's sad face. It seems that this plague is very difficult.
Guiguzi sighed, shook his head, and answered Yuwen Tuo's question: "What the general said makes sense, but we have thought about water sources and poultry, and have done tests. Many poultry have been burned by us, but some people are still getting infected.
, which leaves us really helpless.”
Even Muyue and Guiguzi couldn't figure out the source, which made Yuwentuo curious about the origin of this plague.
After ordering the deputy general to arrange important matters in the army, Yuwen Tuo followed Mu Yue and Gui Guzi to the place where plague patients were detained.
Yuwen Tuo followed the two of them to a temple. Are all the patients imprisoned in these temples?
Guiguzi looked at Yuwentuo's confused look and explained: "This temple is full of plague patients. The reason why they are not allowed to go out is because they are afraid that their illness will be transmitted to other people. Secondly, they are very sick when they get sick."
Horrible, just like the legendary zombie, the body is stiff, the eyes are red, and it wants to bite people when it opens its mouth!"
"What? There are such weird symptoms?" This is indeed the first time Yuwen Tuo has heard of such a thing. It is really weird.
"We also once suspected whether we were bewitched by someone, but the curse is not contagious and will only target the person who was bewitched. And who in the world has the ability to control so many people who have been bewitched at the same time?
Waiting for others, absolutely not!" Muyue added, even the Kuroki family who are good at using witchcraft to harm people can't do it.r
Their method is to drug the enemy's water or things they have come into contact with, causing skin ulcers all over the body of those who have come into contact with it, or there are eggs of poisonous insects in the water, which breed directly in the human body, causing the internal organs to be destroyed.
Devour and die.
However, such symptoms have not been heard of in the Kuroki family's usual methods, so they can only be ruled out.r
Several people put on masks and walked into the temple together. These patients were lying on the ground, each one seemed to be asleep, because they all drank the intoxicating decoction prepared by Guiguzi to be as quiet as now. If these hundreds of people
If the disease breaks out, the consequences can be disastrous.
Walking inside, what you see is the same. There are not only adults here, but also the elderly, women and children. Looking at them sleeping peacefully, it is no different from usual.
"Ah——" A scream sounded in the private backyard.
"Come here, someone is having an attack!" Then someone shouted for help.
