Chapter 108 Miss, are you planning to collaborate with the enemy and betray your country?
Chen Yunniang explained: "This is a remote area. Even if the plague were to spread here, it would take time."
"But it doesn't matter. Even if they are not suffering from the plague, but just ordinary illnesses, we still have this."
"Give them this, and are you still worried they won't get infected?"
Xiao He's eyes lit up: "Yes, they haven't been vaccinated against cowpox, so they will definitely get infected."
"Then what? How can we let them harm the Jin people?"
Chen Yunniang pointed to the river not far away, and said with a kind of boldness, "I've already found out everything."
"This Jinshui River runs through the two countries. We are located upstream, and the Jin Kingdom is downstream."
"We can spread the plague through this river."
Xiao He asked: "How should we do it specifically?"
"Have Liu Wu capture those beggars and pour plague pus into them. Once they contract smallpox, kill them and tie them up upstream. Their blood will contaminate the river and flow downstream."
"This way, if the Jin people downstream drink the water, they will all be infected with the plague in just one night."
Xiao He felt a little disgusted. She didn't want to drink water that had been soaked in a corpse.
"Miss, we also need to drink water."
"Let's go drink the spring water over there."
"Let the soldiers drink the water from this river. They've all been vaccinated against cowpox, so they're not afraid of smallpox."
"It just sounds a bit disgusting that the river water has soaked the body, but they don't know it."
"My lady is truly thoughtful. I will go find Liu Wu right away."
Chen Yunniang was full of confidence: "Go tell him that when we recapture the lost territory, he will have made an invaluable contribution. I will definitely have Ziqian promote him to deputy general, or at least a captain of a thousand households."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Liu Wu is a man of action, and things are going smoothly.
Just as the three were waiting to perform a great deed, things began to get out of control.
They did not wait for the news of the outbreak of plague among the Jin soldiers. Instead, their own soldiers fell one after another, accompanied by headaches, coughs, anorexia, vomiting, chills, high fever, sweating, fatigue, and diarrhea.
Moreover, this situation did not affect just one or two people, but spread uncontrollably throughout the entire military camp, with almost everyone falling ill overnight.
Chen Yunniang was a little scared. Could it be that because they were located upstream, the corpse water that the soldiers drank was more toxic, so they all became sick?
The Jin people did not get sick because they were far away from the source of the corpse and the poison was diluted by the river water, so the toxicity was weakened?
"Miss, this is bad. The military doctor said there's been an outbreak of malaria in the camp. Malaria is also a plague and is highly contagious."
Chen Yunniang turned pale with fear: "How could it be malaria?"
"Isn't it smallpox?"
Xiao He's face was filled with anxiety: "Miss, could it be that those beggars have malaria?"
"Can you even tell the difference between malaria and smallpox?"
Chen Yunniang was furious: "How would I know? I'm not Su Yujiao."
"What should we do now?"
"We seem to be in big trouble."
"Miss, let's run away. Intentionally spreading the plague is a heinous crime punishable by death for all generations."
Chen Yunniang was also panicked at this time. Escape?
Where can I escape to?
Do I have to hide for the rest of my life?
This is not the life she wants!
"Go and get more information. Let me think about it."
"Yes."
At night, Xiao He came back again: "Miss, I heard from Liu Wu that the general has found the body upstream, and the military doctor found two plagues, smallpox and malaria, on the body."
"I'm afraid we'll be found out soon."
"Miss, let's run away?"
Chen Yunniang thought for a moment and said, "Pack your things and leave now."
"Okay, I'll go inform Liu Wu. We'll be safer with him protecting us."
"you come back!"
"Don't tell him, he won't go with us, he'll just get away with it."
"After all, no one knows his relationship with us. He wouldn't be so foolish as to give up his official position and go on the run with us."
"Leave him and let him take the blame."
Xiao He felt a little reluctant, but still did as she was told.
"Miss, where are we going? Will the court issue a warrant for our arrest?"
Chen Yunniang stared in the direction of Jin Guo thoughtfully.
"Let's go to the Kingdom of Jin."
"I just don't believe those Jin people won't be infected with the plague."
"If they get smallpox, I'll be of great use."
"It's better to go to the Jin Kingdom and make great contributions, and become a princess of the Jin Kingdom, than to be a beheaded ghost here."
Xiao He was horrified: "Miss, you...you want to collaborate with the enemy and betray your country?"
Snapped!
Chen Yunniang slapped her hard: "Don't say such harsh words. If you don't care about yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"If you want to stay and die, I won't stop you."
Chen Yunniang left after she finished speaking. Xiao He covered her face with her hands and stood there for a while feeling aggrieved, but finally resigned herself to her fate and followed.
"My lady, please don't abandon me."
"Wherever the lady goes, I will go."
"I just feel that there is no turning back once I leave."
Chen Yunniang took out a box of swelling-reducing ointment and applied it to her: "We don't need a retreat."
"Having committed a monstrous disaster, staying in Daming Country will only lead to death. Only by going to Jin Country can you survive."
"Yes, I will obey you, young lady."
Shortly after Chen Yunniang left, Liu Wu was arrested and directly confessed that Chen Yunniang was the mastermind.
Lu Ziqian's face turned ashen with anger. Now even he couldn't protect her.
Since she is seeking death, don't blame him for not remembering their friendship.
"I'll dig three feet into the ground to bring him back."
"Go to the direction of Jin Kingdom to capture them."
"She will definitely go to the Kingdom of Jin."
Lu Ziqian knew that she dreamed of making great achievements with the cowpox vaccine.
From the moment she proposed using plague to destroy the Jin Dynasty, he knew that Chen Yunniang was a person with no bottom line.
Moreover, she was a little smart and knew that she had caused a big disaster and had no way to survive if she stayed in Daming Country.
So, she would definitely go to the Kingdom of Jin to try her luck.
Haha, using the fruits of Jiaojiao's labor to gild yourself.
And she helped the Jin people attack him, so this time he will definitely not let her go.
Capital city, Fengxi Palace!
When the queen learned that the emperor was going to send the prince to the epidemic area again, she was so angry that she threw several teacups.
"Old man, even if you're partial, you should know when to stop!"
"Concubine Jing's son is a treasure, but can my son just go and die at will?"
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall knelt on the ground. Aunt Liu frantically tried to comfort them: "The Queen, please be careful with your words!"
"Queen, please calm down."
"If the emperor heard this, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of? I've endured it long enough."
"If it weren't for my Lu family conquering the world for him, he would still be a bandit now."
"Now that he's become the emperor, he's trying to demolish his brother's military power. He first took away my brother's military power, then promoted Concubine Jing, allowing her to assist in managing the six palaces. He's gradually undermining my power."
"Alright, since he doesn't give me face, don't blame me for fighting him to the death."
Nanny Liu continued to persuade: "Queen, please calm down."
"No matter how angry you are, you must not act on impulse. If you openly oppose the Emperor, wouldn't that be giving Concubine Jing an advantage?"
