"Qingying," Huang Tianba looked at me with a serious expression and asked, "You have been in the prefecture these days. Is there any news that has been transmitted from the capital?"

"No……"

I shook my head and looked at him, and a light flashed in his eyes. When I looked at me, what did both of them suddenly feel?

Huang Tianba gritted his teeth and said, "I have to ask someone to go to the inn to check it out and see what's going on."

He said, but my thoughts came to the other end. The two letters that Jin Qiao had sent - "I hope you will reply early" and "I hope you will reply early". The two letters were only a few days away. With her eager urging, it was conceivable that she must have been an urgent matter that would make the woman who had always been calm and indifferent in Shangyang Palace so anxious and urging her with letters.

However, with such urgency, no abnormal news in the capital was spread. Could it be that—

My heart suddenly rose to my throat.

Could it be that Queen Yin can confront Pei Yuanhao so blatantly and even kill him even if he does not hesitate to kill him? Could it be for the throne?!

That position that is powerful and rich in the world, and the position of the emperor above all ten thousand people!

At this moment, my mind buzzed, and my eyes suddenly became blank.

Yes, in all dynasties, only the battle of imperial power was the most harsh and cruelest. For the sake of the golden dragon throne, they could ignore the laws of nature, human ethics, justice, and even fight, causing disaster to the creatures, just to obtain the supreme power!

I have heard that although the third prince Pei Yuanhao is the most violent among the princes and the only one who has not been crowned a king, his connections and power in the court are far superior to other princes and can even fight against the prince. Queen Yin has always regarded him as a thorn in his side. Now, judging from the previous secret edict, there is a big problem with the emperor's health. Perhaps Empress Yin took this opportunity to delay Pei Yuanhao and control the situation in the palace. In this way, the prince's ascends the throne is natural!

Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but feel cold.

Pei Yuanxiu, the man who was as pure as a banished immortal, was calm and quiet in the inner cabinet. His smile was always like a breeze and his eyes were always like a clear spring. But his ascension to the throne caused the people of Yangzhou thousands of miles away to suffer such suffering...

Now, I just hope that this epidemic will pass soon and not take away too many lives.

No matter what Empress Yin or what the world is, Pei Yuanxiu should not bear the lives of so many people.

However, things went against my wishes.

The next day, people began to die in Nancheng.

In just one morning, more than a hundred corpses were placed in the open space at the gate of the South City. I stood there, and at first glance, it looked like an endless cemetery, exuding a strong sense of death.

The eyes of the corpses were still wide open, looking at the sky empty, as if they were unwilling to ask why their lives ended in such a hurry.

The crying sounded loudly.

But I know that among the crying people, many of them have never met these corpses. The reason why they cry is because they see their future from these corpses, they cannot find a way out, and they cannot escape.
