After being ordered to be expelled, Lin Sen, Dongfang Ruo, and Leng Ying did not stay much. Before Leng Ying left, she left her brother a sachet embroidered by her own hands.
After watching the three people go away, Cui Disi, holding the sachet, stood at the commanding heights of the imperial court, facing the midnight wind and asked in an indifferent tone: "Is it time?"
The old servant behind Cui Disi bowed slightly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Her Majesty Liya has fallen asleep."
Upon hearing this hypocritical rhetoric, Cuidisi put away the sachet and turned to leave.
He came to Liya's bedroom and when he opened the door, the room was empty except for the little girl lying on the bed, her hands flat on her heart, very peaceful.
Cuidisi walked over and looked at her sleeping daughter, with a trace of pain on her face. The pain had become numb due to too many hardships.
They sat quietly by the bed until late at night. When Liya on the bed was no longer breathing, Cuidisi stood up and kissed her cold forehead, then pulled up the quilt to cover her face.
When all this was done, the servant came in with a little girl.
The girl's face was filled with a smile. When she saw Cuidisi, she immediately ran over happily and shouted: "Dad!"
…
Lin Sen and Jin Ying'er did not return to Feise, but followed Dongfang Ruo and the others back to the Leng family's bamboo house.
The four people who were calm all the way had their own worries.
Lin Sen closed his eyes. With Wu Huan by his side, he tried his best to calm down his mood.
After letting go of his mind, Wu Huan already clearly understood everything that happened so far. What surprised Lin Sen was that this kind of situation in Dusk City had also happened during the empire period, but the scope of it was extremely small at that time.
There was also a blockade by the empire's secret personnel, so people like Lin Sen had never heard of such a thing.
Wu Huan didn't know much about this, but Lin Sen heard some useful things from her.
Initially, this cessation of breeding was identified as a pathogenic infection, and the town where this first occurred was indeed contaminated by a nearby illegal biochemical laboratory. Among the contaminants containing alien pathogens, the Empire extracted
An active cell tissue code-named "Hourglass".
The description of this "hourglass" is very brief. One of them is that it inhibits biological reproduction, destroys the original genetic code, and causes it to lose continuity.
This time, the communication between the two did not take place in private, but in front of Lemidia. It was both a matter of respect and Lin Sen's habit. He didn't like that kind of excessive transparency.
Combining Wu Huan's information, Lin Sen naturally wondered whether it was because of the hunting habits of the Cuidisi people after the end of time that they were infected with this pathogen?
This conjecture seems quite logical.
However, Lemidia calmly asked a rhetorical question. If it was really caused by alienated infection during hunting, then in theory, it should be isolated after a small-scale outbreak. It is impossible to directly infect millions of people at the same time.
Is this happening? What's more, according to the current clues, Kui has been in contact with the Cuidisi people a long time ago and built a meditation palace for them. This can greatly reduce the threat of the spread of alienated infections, so the idea of pathogenic infection seems to be
It's somewhat official.
After hearing Lemidia's words, Wu Huan's face turned red. After all, she only heard about this secret after joining the Royal Guards, and had never seen it with her own eyes, so now she feels that this kind of rhetorical question is unreliable.
.
Lin Sen had a headache. He didn't want to think about it for the time being. Let's see what Leng Ying and the others said. After all, they would definitely remember a lot of things after being reminded, especially Dongfang Ruo. She had already noticed the little princess's problem and had seen it with her own eyes.
She has seen the "death" of the little princess, but she has never made any inquiries... Why is this?
Lin Sen rested his head on Wu Huan's legs and thought wildly for a while before choosing to rest. He was really too tired.
Wu Huan also accompanied him very considerately and even hummed a song to him. Her voice was soft and soft, which was very comfortable in his ears.
Lemidia put on her glasses again and went to read a book. The room that originally belonged to another Kui had been turned over by the beautiful sister. There were books everywhere, and there was almost no place to stay.
The car soon arrived at the bamboo forest, and Lin Sen also woke up.
After what happened before, Zhiyin brought many guards to protect Leng Ying and the others. Zhiyin was still unwelcome to Lin Sen and Jin Ying'er who followed them, but his attitude was okay.
The group of people returned to the bamboo house along the bluestone path.
After sitting down in the Nuan Pavilion, the maids brought tea, and then Dongfang Ruo kicked him out.
Opening the isolation device again, Dongfang Ruo spoke.
"So far, it seems that the plan is going quite smoothly, and there is still surplus." The surplus in Dongfang Ruo's words refers to what Lin Sen accidentally saw.
"And the answer is similar to what I guessed. It is indeed related to the child, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." As she spoke, Dongfang Ruo laughed at herself again. She had been sitting on the mountain watching the wind and rain for a long time, but she didn't notice it was so obvious.
The problem.
Maybe it’s because there are many children coming and going in her bamboo house...
"What does this child mean?" Jin Ying'er had probably heard some of it from Lin Sen before she came, but she still wasn't sure.
Leng Ying replied: "The matter may have started a few years ago..." She stopped here and glanced at Dongfang Ruo. After Dongfang Ruo gave a signal, Leng Ying opened her mouth and said: "At first we thought this
It was just a small-scale infection, and all the clues pointed to a few infected families, but things quickly expanded, and many families were not infected, and many miscarriages and postpartum fetal deaths occurred.
The most unacceptable thing among them is postpartum death. These fetuses, which are very energetic during the pregnancy period, die quickly after birth. There is no way to save it, there are no symptoms, and no disease can be detected after death.
problem, and none of these children survived ten months, and the longest one only lived nine months and one day. Many families could not accept this fact and broke up, until a K-level servant couple gave birth to a child.
I gave birth to a child, and the child grew up smoothly and broke through the curse-like shackles of ten months."
"Are you talking about the Cuidisi couple?" Jin Ying'er realized it very smartly.
Leng Ying smiled slightly and said: "Yes, it is my brother and his wife. They were the only couple of K-level servants at that time. Faced with the current medical level that could not confirm the cause of death, although some people asked for help from the United Government
proposal, but more people blindly worshiped Wang's strength, thinking that their genetic strength was not strong enough that led to this tragedy. Only with K-level power like Wang can continue to reproduce the next generation. This kind of blindness is worse than ignorance.
Even scarier...but very effective, because another couple confirmed this, this person is my other brother, Leng Xing."
"Leng Xing is already married?" Lin Sen was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Well, brother Leng Xing married Dongfang Yue, Sister Dongfang's sister. Unfortunately, Sister Dongfang Yue passed away shortly after giving birth to the child." Lin Sen was surprised by the information Leng Ying gave.
Oh... Thinking of the scarlet scene, Lin Sen secretly shook his head.
"What about their children?" Jin Ying'er wasn't very interested in these things, so she quickly grasped the key point and asked.
Leng Ying frowned, a little unsure, but she still replied: "You also saw brother Leng Hong's daughter today. She is already three years old, very beautiful and healthy, but brother Leng Xing's son is
When he was one and a half years old, just like the children who had not escaped the October Curse, he fell asleep as usual and never woke up."
