Chapter 49 Plague
Seeing the slight emotional change in Lu Yiner's eyes, Lu Qingyu's lips curled up slightly. Her needle that could end her family lineage was really starting to work.
The injection she gave He Juncheng on their wedding night would gradually weaken He Juncheng's sexual function until he became impotent.
It was also on that night that she secretly took away the King Jing's badge that was pinned on He Juncheng's waist.
Although He Juncheng and Lu Yiner were in cahoots with each other, no matter how solid the alliance was, it was not an iron wall.
My grandmother once said that loyalty is only because the stakes of betrayal are not big enough.
Lu Yiner and her father are both power-hungry people. If they knew about He Juncheng, they would never be able to have children again.
Will they still stand firmly behind He Juncheng, work for his future, and compete for the position of crown prince?
Lu Qingyu really wanted to know.
"Sister, you don't have to sow discord here. If Ah Cheng loved you, he wouldn't have left you and slept with me on our wedding night."
Although some doubts arose in her heart, Lu Yiner did not back down.
Lose the game of chess but don’t lose the strategy.
But Lu Qingyu suddenly smiled, patted Lu Yiner's shoulder, and sat back in the armchair.
"Look, I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously, sister? Of course, King Jing loves you the most."
The corners of Lu Yiner's mouth twitched, "Sister, you are really eloquent. I admire you."
Although Lu Qingyu said it was just a joke, once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would be watered by the dark side of human nature and quietly sprout.
"If there is nothing else, please go back." Lu Qingyu picked up the teacup.
Lu Yiner's eyelids twitched. She had just sat down for a while and they wanted to chase her away?
"There is indeed another thing I want to tell you, sister." Lu Yiner said with a fake smile, "Tomorrow is my mother's birthday, and my parents invited you to the house for a banquet."
Lu Qingyu took a sip of the tea. The tea had a rich aroma and tasted just right.
"Okay, I will definitely be there tomorrow." Lu Qingyu smiled.
She had to plan this birthday party carefully and prepare a surprise birthday gift for her second aunt.
Seeing that Lu Qingyu stopped talking, Lu Yiner could only say goodbye and leave. In fact, she didn't want to stay in this unlucky place any longer.
After Lu Yiner left, Lu Qingyu took out the disguise tools and smeared them on his face.
In less than an incense stick of time, she turned into an ordinary-looking woman with freckles all over her face. After quickly changing into casual clothes, she slipped out through the secret passage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
While walking on the street, Lu Qingyu could clearly feel that the number of beggars on the street had increased.
Coupled with the recent continuous high temperatures, Lu Qingyu frowned, feeling that something was not right.
Trying hard to recall the time points of her previous life, she suddenly stopped and her pupils contracted sharply.
Yes, it's a plague!
The plague sweeping across Kyoto is about to break out. Calculated, there is only a week left before the full-scale outbreak.
As I recall, the plague claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people in Kyoto, and countless corpses were taken to mass graves or even burned to ashes.
Coupled with the scorching hot weather, the plague spread extremely rapidly, and several counties and prefectures outside Kyoto were not spared.
A person bumped into Lu Qingyu and said angrily, "Just keep walking, why did you stop suddenly?"
Lu Qingyu turned around and saw a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her clothes were tattered and she had a fishy smell from not having taken a bath for a long time.
He was probably a little beggar who had been wandering around for years.
Lu Qingyu took out a few pieces of silver from her pocket and said, "Excuse me, little sister, use this money to buy some buns."
The girl, who looked as fierce as a little wolf, her gray-blue eyes lit up instantly and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Yin Zi.
"Thank you, big sister! Thank you, Bodhisattva!" The girl excitedly stretched out her hand to take the silver, revealing an arm covered with scars, and even some wounds that were already oozing fester.
Lu Qingyu's eyebrows jumped suddenly. She took out a handkerchief from her arms, held the handkerchief and grabbed the girl's arm.
"Little sister, how did you get this wound?" Lu Qingyu's tone was extremely serious, and the aura of someone in a high position emanated uncontrollably.
The girl seemed frightened and stammered, "It was bitten by a rat."
Lu Qingyu took another careful look at the festering wound and was completely certain of his guess.
This is where the plague started.
In her previous life, she had come into contact with some plague patients and had thought about many prescriptions, but because she was not clear about the most original transmission route, her prescriptions were always lacking.
It can only relieve symptoms but cannot cure the disease.
Later, Prince Ning recommended a hidden miracle doctor to Your Majesty.
Lu Qingyu had also seen the prescription of the miracle doctor, which was indeed exquisite. However, it still took nearly a month to control the plague that spread throughout Kyoto.
Lu Qingyu tied the handkerchief tightly around the girl's wound, tied a knot, and then looked at the girl seriously.
"Little sister, from now on you can't open this veil, and you can't let others touch you. If you can do this, I will let you have enough food every day."
There was a hint of confusion on the girl's dirty face, but more of it was surprise.
Have a full meal?
This word is so unfamiliar.
Ever since she ran away from her human children, she was forced to beg on the streets every day, and even had to compete with dogs for food.
"Sister, I can do it!" The girl agreed immediately without any hesitation.
Lu Qingyu's voice softened a bit, "What's your name? Are you willing to go with your sister and live in a big house?"
The girl's bright eyes flashed, "My name is Shasha, I'm willing to go with my sister."
"Sasha? It's a nice name."
After touching the girl's messy hair, Lu Qingyu led her through the streets and alleys, and finally came to a secluded courtyard.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically.
The door was quickly opened, and a maid bowed and said, "Miss, please come in."
Sasha stared with her big gray-blue eyes, and followed Lu Qingyu into the yard with a little timidity.
"Please prepare some warm liquid food for this little girl, please." Lu Qingyu said to the maid.
The maid respectfully accepted the order and left.
Lu Qingyu led Shasha into a room and said, "Shasha, stay in your room and eat and wait for your sister, okay?"
Sasha nodded obediently.
After Lu Qingyu left the house, he blew the flute again.
This courtyard was the safe place that He Junxuan told her they could meet secretly in the future. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was now being watched by too many eyes.
Lu Qingyu originally just wanted to talk to He Junxuan about Ming Ziluo, but the appearance of Sasha gave her an even more important thing to do.
