318. Chapter 318 Empathy

When Ye Zhen and Huangfuchen came to the village entrance, the shock in their eyes turned into anger. The fence at the village entrance had been removed and replaced with dry firewood. When I came, it seemed to smell a smell of vegetable oil.

"What are you trying to do?" Ye Zhen looked at Xu Ji who was outside, and couldn't believe that he would treat those plagued people in the village in such a way.

Xu Ji smiled, looked at Ye Zhen and Huangfu Chen, and said, "Governor Zhang ordered that the plague has not improved, in order not to harm others, in order to prevent the plague from spreading to other places, we can only kill those infected with the plague in the village. people are burned."

Ye Zhen was furious, "Are you going to burn them alive? It's inhumane for you to do so!"

"If the general had kept these people alive, the plague would have never stopped. If more and more people were infected with the plague, who would be the one who committed the crime?" Xu Ji asked with a sneer.

"How do you know you can't cure them? They've obviously improved, and they'll definitely be cured in a few days." Ye Zhen looked at Xu Ji angrily. Before, she only thought Xu Ji was reckless and stupid, but only now did she know that he It turned out to be so vicious.

Xu Ji snorted coldly, "Two people in the city had already contracted typhoid fever yesterday, if I hadn't killed them, there would definitely be more people infected today."

Huangfuchen's usually calm eyes also burst into anger, "You didn't even give them a chance to heal, so you killed them?"

"Even you have typhoid fever, who else can cure them?" Xu Ji asked.

"Xu Ji, what you have done today will definitely repay you in the future." Ye Zhen clenched her fists tightly. She has never really faced such a thing since she studied medicine for so long. She originally studied medicine to avenge the palace. Later, gradually influenced by the spirit of great doctors in Qi's medical classics, he understood the meaning of being a doctor better.

Xu Jigong raised his hand to the sky, "I, Xu Ji, do things worthy of heaven and earth. Today's killing is for more common people. If there is retribution for this, then I, Xu Ji, am willing to bear it alone."

It really turned black and white, taking his selfishness and cruelty as salvation!

"Our princess is inside, if you dare to burn the village, the queen mother and the emperor will definitely not let you go!" Dai Mei shouted loudly standing outside the village.

"Princess? What princess?" Zheng Yulong, who didn't know the inside story, looked at Ye Zhen in surprise.

Dai Mei said, "Our girl is Princess Furong bestowed by the Empress Dowager. The princess is in the village. Who of you would dare to burn the village?"

Zheng Yulong looked at Ye Zhen in horror, "You... are you a princess?"

Huangfuchen nodded lightly, "She is the only princess of Jin Kingdom today."

"Governor Xu, don't burn the village!" Zheng Yulong shouted hastily, "Quickly, go and remove those dry firewood."

Xu Ji immediately shouted, "If those villagers come out, the whole city will be plagued by plague. Mr. Zheng, can you afford it?"

If those villagers come out to infect other people, then he, the prefect, will also lose his head! Zheng Yulong looked at Huangfuchen in panic.

"Xu Ji, then just wait and see if the villagers inside will die." Ye Zhen sneered, "If you dare to set fire to the fire, and you are determined to take the Xu family to be buried with you, then you can go ahead and die." Set it on fire, I’ll wait for you inside, if you don’t dare set the fire on, just wait, and when the person inside recovers from illness, this princess will settle accounts with you.”

This is the first time Ye Zhen calls herself a princess, and she has never been willing to oppress others in this capacity before.

Xu Ji laughed. He walked up to Ye Zhen and said in a low voice, "Do you think the queen mother and the emperor still care about you as a princess?"

Ye Zhen raised her eyes and looked at Xu Ji coldly, "They don't care about me, so could it be that they still care about you?"

"It seems that Your Royal Highness still doesn't know anything." Xu Ji smiled gloatingly, "You must not know that the emperor is doting on a stunning beauty recently, right? That is the emperor's lifesaver when he was young, and now he lives in the Palace of Compassion , not only the emperor dotes on you, but even the empress dowager loves that girl so much, do you think they will remember you?"

Savior? What Ye Zhen thought of was what happened in the grove that year. Isn't the so-called savior of Mo Rongzhan the same as her when she was a child? The blood on her face turned pale, "What did you say?"

Xu Ji thought about it seriously, "By the way, I heard that Miss Ye was put under house arrest for several years, and the emperor found her with great difficulty. The sweetheart I haven't seen for many years, why isn't she loved by all means."

"Impossible!" Ye Zhen shook her head, Lu Shuang'er was dead, Mo Rong Zhan knew that someone was pretending to be Xiao Yaoyao back then, why would she easily take someone else as her?

Xu Ji was very satisfied looking at Ye Zhen's panicked expression, thinking that she was afraid of falling out of favor.

"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Huangfuchen looked at Ye Zhen worriedly.

Ye Zhen shook her head lightly, she could probably guess what happened.

The so-called savior must have been created by Lu Lingzhi. How did he do it? Apart from him, Ye Zhen couldn't think of anyone else who would create a fake savior.

She was really right to worry, no matter how good Murong Zhan said to her, as long as someone brought out another little girl whom he had never forgotten, no matter if it was true or not, he would immediately forget her in the cold.

"Master, let's go in." Ye Zhen said to Huangfu Chen, "If he dares to set fire, then let him."

Huangfu Chen didn't dare to look at Xu Ji, and walked back to the village side by side with Ye Zhen.

"Ah Zhan is not someone who is easy to empathize with others, don't listen to Xu Ji's nonsense." Huangfuchen didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say this softly.

Ye Zhen smiled faintly, Mo Rongzhan is indeed not someone who is easy to empathize with others, but as soon as he meets a lifesaver in the grove, he will immediately forget the person next to him.

Maybe in the future when he knows that the person who saved him was Ye Zhen, he will completely let go of this person in his heart.

As Ye Zhen, she is very grateful that Murong Zhan's childhood memories are still so vivid, but she also feels sad, because he is not willing to really find out who saved him, and he subconsciously excludes Ye Zhen.

As the current her, she feels very uncomfortable now, as if something is blocking her, and she doesn't know why.

"Master, let's give them medicine first." Ye Zhen said, she didn't want to think about Murong Zhan anymore, let alone how he doted on that so-called lifesaver.

After all, she and him are destined to each other.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Huangfu Chen didn't mention it, "I'll go and get the boiled medicine first."

"I may have to cook some more medicine today. Xu Ji brought all the patients from the next village over. Dr. Qi might be tricked by him into going to the city to treat others." Ye Zhen said.

"Xu Ji's intentions are not pure. I won't let him go if this matter is over." Huangfu Chen said softly.
