Chapter 2059 Resolutely Enter the City

Zhao Tianji winked at the deputy general and asked him to quickly invite Mr. Lei. The deputy general was shocked when Zhao Tianji opened his mouth to call Concubine Ye Zhen. It took him a long time to react. No wonder this woman dared to call the emperor directly. Her name was taboo, and she turned out to be the famous Concubine Tian. Upon noticing Zhao Tianji's signal, he hurriedly ran towards the camp.

"Are you here to deliver medicine, or are you here to kill people?" Ye Zhen was furious, and she didn't even have a good look on Zhao Tianji.

"I'm really here to deliver medicine." Zhao Tianji shouted aggrievedly, "Mr. Huangfu left a lot of medicinal materials at my place. I heard that there was an epidemic here, so Miaomiao asked me to donate the medicine to the court. Thinking of Mr. Huangfu, You shouldn’t mind. I just arrived here and before I sent the medicine in, I heard..."

Ye Zhen looked at his troubled expression and softened her tone, "Shui Yichen wants to massacre the city. Isn't there anyone in the court who can stop him?"

Zhao Tianji smiled bitterly, he was really unjustly accused, "Yaoyao, I am not qualified to go to court early. In the Yuan Kingdom, I am just an imperial merchant."

"You are the Prince Consort now." Ye Zhen snorted coldly.

"That doesn't make any difference..." Zhao Tianji whispered. In the past, when Shui Yichen was not the emperor, he wanted him to become an official. But who is he? He is just an island owner doing business. How can he be an official? Now that he is the consort, he does not want to get involved in the court affairs.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "Has no one ever tried to persuade Shui Yichen?"

Zhao Tianji whispered, "Why didn't anyone persuade me? It's just that the epidemic is too serious. No matter how many imperial doctors were sent here, they all got sick. Your Majesty... there's nothing you can do about it."

"It's not that he has no choice, he just chose the most ruthless method." Ye Zhen said coldly.

"How did you come?" Zhao Tianji asked.

Ye Zhen glared at him, "What do you think?"

Zhao Tianji touched his nose and said, "But what can you do if you come? The Emperor has already given an order, and it will happen tomorrow..."

"I won't allow it." Ye Zhen said coldly.

"Yaoyao..." Zhao Tianji was helpless. He didn't want to see such a cruel thing happen, but the imperial edict has been issued and the city gate has been closed. As long as the time comes and the epidemic still does not improve, the entire Luomei will be shut down. The city was burned.

"Master Lei is here." The deputy general just left and returned, followed by Ye Zhen's former confidant Lei Yingchun.

Lei Yingchun was originally Ye Yiqing's subordinate. When Ye Zhen came back to the capital this time, he happened to be away. He had just heard about the deputy general's report. He was so excited that he rushed over immediately. From a distance, he saw the man standing in the morning light. The woman still looks like she remembers, she is really their former concubine, "Miss..."

Ye Zhen turned around and looked at Lei Yingchun who came to her indifferently, "Master Lei, you are well."

"Thanks to Miss, everything is fine." Lei Yingchun said. He recognized the man standing next to Ye Zhen as Mo Rongzhan. He was shocked. It was already known to the whole world that Mo Rongzhan gave up on regaining the throne. Even Ye Zhen is no longer a concubine. She thought they were used to the life of wandering clouds and wild cranes, so how could they appear here.

"Are you ordered to massacre the city?" Ye Zhen didn't have any extra greetings with Lei Yingchun, as there was no time in the first place.

The smile on Lei Yingchun's face froze and he looked at Ye Zhen seriously, "Miss, if you don't do this, the epidemic will become more and more serious, and more people will die by then."

"Are you trying hard to save the people inside? Just because you are afraid, you want them to die?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.

"It's not that I haven't tried, it's just that even the imperial doctors are helpless." Lei Yingchun said awkwardly. He didn't want to be the one to massacre the city, but there was no way.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath. Lei Yingchun and Zhao Tianji were the same. They would not resist Shui Yichen. "Open the city gate, I want to go in."

Lei Yingchun's expression changed, "What? No, miss, there are all patients inside. It's too dangerous for you to go in. Besides, you alone can't save so many people."

"Even if I can't save the entire city, I can still save ten." Ye Zhen said coldly, "Open the door, I want to go in."

"Miss, it's too dangerous!" Lei Yingchun almost knelt down, "I can't let you in."

Ye Zhen lowered her eyes and looked at him, "You can't stop me, Master Lei."

Hearing that Ye Zhen could bite Master Lei and cry out, Lei Yingchun knelt in front of Ye Zhen, "Miss, the people in the city are hopeless. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the emperor will not order the massacre of the city. If you go in, even if you are not infected with the epidemic, you will still..."

"Then you go tell Shui Yichen and ask him to kill me." Ye Zhen said coldly.

How can it be! Shui Yichen couldn't kill her.

"If you dare not tell Shui Yichen, then let me in and give me three days. If the epidemic does not improve, I will not stop you from slaughtering the city." Ye Zhen said.

Lei Yingchun knew that no matter what he said, he could not persuade Ye Zhen, so now he could only delay for time.

"Don't think about delaying my time." Ye Zhen glanced at him, then turned to Zhao Tianji and said, "Get your medicine and come with me to the city."

"I...I want to go in too?" Zhao Tianji was dumbfounded.

Ye Zhen turned around and walked outside the city gate, "Where are the medicinal materials? Go and deliver them."

Zhao Tianji looked at Lei Yingchun and saw Lei Yingchun shaking his head slightly. He frowned and looked at Ye Zhen again, remembering the first time he saw her.

At that time, his legs were not able to walk, but she cured his legs. Her medical skills were the best he had ever seen.

Maybe...she can really cure the people inside.

"I'll bring the medicinal materials over," Zhao Tianji said.

Since Ye Zhen can enter the city with Murong Zhan, she must have a way to prevent herself from contracting the plague.

Lei Yingchun glared at Zhao Tianji, angry that he actually listened to Ye Zhen's words.

"Master Lei, do you want to open the city gate yourself, or should I do it?" Ye Zhen asked calmly.

"You...are you just watching the young lady misbehave?" Lei Yingchun asked Mo Rongzhan anxiously.

"She's not fooling around." Murong Zhan replied indifferently.

Lei Yingchun was choked up. Isn't this nonsense?

"Miss..." Lei Yingchun called Ye Zhen.

"Tell Shui Yichen that killing is not the way to prevent death." Ye Zhen said expressionlessly, "I hope he won't make me feel regretful."

Zhao Tianji drove a carriage and came quickly.

When Ye Zhen saw that Lei Yingchun still refused to open the city gate, she took a few steps back. A breeze blew under her feet. She stepped on the city wall, climbed over the eaves, and opened the city gate herself.

Lei Yingchun's eyes widened, looking at this scene in disbelief.

"Miss... when did you have such powerful Qing Kung?" Lei Yingchun asked in shock.

Zhao Tianji was stunned for a long time, but Ye Zhen reminded him before he drove the carriage into the city, "You...you can actually cross the city wall?"
