Your majesty, Empress Xianyu doesn't want to leave the cold palace

Chapter 857: Concern Reveals One's True Colors

The palace maid was in a hurry and moved in a panic, whispering: "Go, go!"

"What should we do? The Queen is ill. There are so many people seriously ill outside the palace. What should we do if the Queen is ill?"

"Yes, the situation outside the palace has not improved, and the emperor has not returned to the palace. If something happens to the queen, what should we do?"

The palace servants were talking in low voices and walking further and further away in hurried steps.

After the palace servants left, Si Baiyu went directly to Changle Palace.

Caiyue was startled when she saw Si Baiyu, and then bowed: "National Master."

Si Baiyu directly stated: "How is the Queen? I heard that the Queen is ill?"

Caiyue was startled and looked embarrassed. Before she could speak, Si Baiyu had already rushed into the palace. Caiyue was frightened and hurriedly followed him, shouting: "Imperial Master, the Queen is resting, you can't go in..."

Caiyue's words were a step too late after all. Si Baiyu had already forced his way into the inner room and saw the person lying on the bed.

He saw that Qi Ranran's face was abnormally flushed. Just when he was about to speak again, Qi Ranran opened her eyes and saw the person who appeared. She whispered: "...Si Baiyu?"

"It's me!" Si Baiyu looked unhappy and was anxious to check on her. "How could you be infected with the disease?"

Qi Ranran asked back: "Why don't I get sick?"

Si Baiyu didn't say anything. He frowned and seemed to realize something. The glass bottle hidden in his sleeve suddenly became a thousand pounds heavy.

During the moment of his silence, Qi Ranran's heart sank to the lowest point.

Qi Ranran clenched her hands and asked, "Is it because this happened in the palace? Because this is not a natural disease? Because you know clearly that this disease is not transmitted by breathing? Because you know that this is a man-made disaster..."

Si Baiyu: “…”

Qi Ranran held her breath and asked, "Is it... flesh-eating bacteria?"

After seeing the symptoms of those patients in succession, she had this guess in her mind, so she chose horses for the experiment.

After seeing the changes in the horse, her guess was confirmed.

It's really flesh-eating bacteria.

The skin at the infected site will turn red and quickly develop into small lumps, causing necrosis in local areas of the body. It will also be accompanied by symptoms of fever, vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. The speed from the onset of symptoms to the spread of the disease is extremely fast, and the mortality rate is also extremely high.

Faced with flesh-eating bacteria, even Bian Zhouzi, the best doctor in Beiyu, had no idea where to start.

Because they never understand the unknown.

Without understanding, there is no way to cure.

But besides being shocked, she was more in disbelief.

Why? Why him?

The words he said in a hurry just now were like a bolt from the blue to her.

Qi Ranran said coldly: "Si Baiyu! You did it!"

At this moment, Si Baiyu looked at her again and knew that she was fine, and the so-called "illness" was just an excuse.

Worry makes one confused. He was the first to lose his composure. After hearing the news from the palace servants, he rushed to see her anxiously without even bothering to confirm it.

He looked away and said calmly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Qi Ranran's eyes turned red, and she didn't know whether she was angry or annoyed.

She looked at Si Baiyu again, only to find that the person in front of her was extremely unfamiliar.

A person would only ask such a question when he is certain that something will never happen.

After arriving at Changle Palace, he asked her, how did you get sick?

Because in his plan this was something that shouldn't have happened.

But this incident happened, which is why he asked this question.

After seeing the results of her experiment, she began to have doubts. There was no sea near the capital, and such symptoms had never occurred before. However, a large-scale flesh-eating bacteria infection suddenly broke out. Many coincidences put together made it difficult to say that they were coincidences. And the only person who could recognize and use this in Beiyu could be one person.

When this idea came up, she was scared by herself. She even wondered what would happen if she guessed wrong? How should she apologize for her offensive behavior?

But he happened to rush over when he heard the news of her "illness" and said those words in a hurry.

She had the intention of testing him, but she didn't expect to get the worst result.

Si Baiyu! It was actually Si Baiyu!

  Qi Ranran suddenly felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. Even though she had already determined the result, she still didn't understand why? Why? What on earth was he doing this for?

"Why!"

  "Why would you do such a thing! Do you know how many people die in the capital every day? Do you... do you know how many families will be destroyed if you do this?

Can't you hear the cries of people every day? They are in fear and despair every day, Si Baiyu, why? Why do you hurt them like this? "

"Why? Why? Si Baiyu, why on earth are you doing this? Are you...doing this to cause unrest? Are you...doing this to become the emperor?"

Today's capital city is simply a living hell.

Everyone wants to live, but cannot.

Si Baiyu smiled when he heard that.

Emperor, what is that? Why should he care about that position!

He was silent for a long time. Finally, he turned his gaze to her and said, "Sorry."

If possible, he didn't want her to know any of this.

He tried every way to cover it up, but he didn't expect that she would find out anyway.

Qi Ranran asked back: "Should I be the one you should say sorry to?"

Si Baiyu did not argue, but slashed at her neck with his knife and took her out of Changle Palace.

Before Caiyue could even raise her voice to call for help, people who came out of nowhere subdued everyone in Changle Palace. She could only watch helplessly as the Imperial Master took her master away.

Outside the palace, Yuwen Chen was busy and exhausted. Eunuch Li rushed in and knelt on the ground with a plop. The whisk he had been holding in his arms fell to the ground. He said in panic, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master... the Imperial Master..."

Yuwen Chen was impatient: "How is the Imperial Master?"

Eunuch Li cried out, "The Imperial Master... The Imperial Master's people injured the people in Changle Palace. The Imperial Master... He took the Empress away..."

Yuwen Chen: "What!"

Eunuch Li didn't expect this to happen!

Imperial Master! That is the Imperial Master that everyone in Beiyu admires!

The national teacher actually rebelled!

Yu Wenchen strode out and issued orders: "Search all the way and bring the queen back at all costs. We must ensure the queen's safety."

However, after Yu Wenchen stepped out of the room, he saw a familiar figure on the tall building opposite.

The moment their eyes met, their pupils shrank to their smallest size in an instant.

Eunuch Li, who came out shortly after, looked up and froze after just one look.

He turned his head and carefully glanced at the emperor's face, feeling extremely nervous.

The Emperor had just issued an order to search for the Empress, but then the Imperial Preceptor showed up with the Empress. It looked like the Imperial Preceptor had held the Empress hostage!

Yuwen Chen shouted: "Si Baiyu releases the queen, and I can spare your life!"

Qi Ranran saw Yuwen Chen. She wanted to speak, but her acupoints were pressed and she couldn’t speak or move. She could only watch.

Si Baiyu noticed her nervousness and said, "Ranran, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

Qi Ranran: "..."

"I won't hurt you, but Yuwen Chen doesn't know that." Si Baiyu stood behind her, looking ahead. "I will take you away from here, but before I leave, I want you to know one thing."

Qi Ranran's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.

Si Baiyu looked at Yuwen Chen and asked, "Did you see anyone outside asking for help? I'll give you a chance to save them. I have the antidote, but you can only choose between them and the queen. Who do you choose?"
