Taking the blame for the fake daughter: After being released from prison, she went on a killing spre

Su Yunling crossed her arms and calmly admired Su Zhaohong's anxious expression.

"What do you mean by my prescription? Isn't that the prescription given by the immortal in the Saint's dream? Lord Su should ask your sister which immortal gave her the medicine. Why don't you go question the immortal? Why are you looking for me? Close the door!"

"You..." Su Zhaohong was almost hit in the face by the door.

"Rebellious girl, open the door! Open the door for me!" He banged on the door.

Su Yunling winked at the loud-mouthed Mrs. Zhao beside her. Mrs. Zhao understood what he meant and walked to the front door and shouted to Su Zhaohong:

"Master Su, this is the county lady's residence. Our county lady is no longer your Su family's daughter. You have come to the wrong place to act like a father. Leave quickly while our county lady is not angry! Otherwise, it will be ugly if there is a commotion."

Su Zhaohong outside the door was so angry that he was gasping for breath, but he was also choked and had no way to refute.

He was the one who took the initiative to drive his daughter out of the house, and the letter of severance of engagement was also stamped with the official seal of the government. Su Yunling's household registration was no longer in the Su Mansion, so they could not be considered father and daughter.

But as the plague showed signs of resurgence, only Su Yunling knew what was wrong with the prescription.

But it was obvious that she had no intention of helping him, so he had to find another way.

Su Yueying did not expect that this prescription could not actually eradicate the plague. Seeing that more and more cases of relapse occurred among the victims outside the city, in order to cover up the fact that she had stolen the prescription and to maintain her sacred image as a saint, she decided to destroy the evidence.

"Dad, while there aren't too many people getting sick and the city is still peaceful, let's just go all out..."

"What do you mean?" Su Zhaohong obviously didn't quite understand.

"As long as we let them leave the capital and let them die from other accidents other than the plague, this matter can be covered up." Su Yueying said in a flat tone. To her, killing people seemed to be no different from killing chickens and fish.

Su Zhaohong was horrified, "That's murder! What if..."

"They are just a group of refugees. If they die, they die. Do you want to ruin your career for them?" Su Yueying looked at Su Zhaohong with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Su Zhaohong was in a dilemma. "But, what if the epidemic reappears in the city..."

"What are you afraid of? As long as we delay it for a while, we can say it's another plague. As far as I know, the symptoms of those who have relapsed are different from before. Who can say for sure that it is a relapse?"

After the naive father and daughter had some discussion, Su Zhaohong decided to find someone to pretend to be a miracle doctor tomorrow, use some money to take away all the sick victims outside the city, and then deal with them halfway.

But what they didn't expect was that before they could take any action, the situation in the capital changed drastically in just one night.

Only ten days had passed since the last major epidemic outbreak, and a plague more severe than before had returned.

Wailing sounds could be heard in almost every household in the streets and alleys.

The frail elderly and children were all seriously ill, and nearly a hundred people died in just one day, and this was only the first day of the relapse.

The once bustling Yongning Street is now deserted, with shops and windows closed and the streets empty.

Emperor Jing Zhao immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, but there were only a few officials left in the court because most of them were infected with the plague and had taken leave at home.

After investigation, it was quickly determined that the patients who had contracted the epidemic last time had relapsed one after another.

Moreover, the symptoms are more severe than before. Apart from critically ill patients, there are almost no mild cases.

After the disease relapsed, they immediately took the medicine they bought from Jishidiang, but it had no effect at all.

That was the prescription the saint got in her dream, so why did it become ineffective after just a few days?

Some people held the bodies of their relatives and asked the saint to come out and explain.

Su Yueying didn't dare to go out. She was so scared that she hid in the Sitianjian and claimed to pray for the people.

Su Zhaohong had nowhere to hide because he was taking the medicine given by Su Yunling, so he was not affected by the recurring epidemic at all.

When Emperor Jing Zhao pointed at his nose and asked why the saint's medicine didn't work, he was so scared that he fell to his knees and said he didn't know.

Emperor Jing Zhao was so angry that he smashed his head with a cup and angrily called him a good-for-nothing who only ate food but didn't do anything.

Su Yueying was still summoned to the Purple Palace. When Emperor Jing Zhao asked whether the recurrence of the plague was related to the prescription, she immediately denied it and pushed the responsibility to Su Yunling.

"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no problem with my prescription. It was Su Yunling, the calamity star, who caused this plague."

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is very insightful! This plague was caused by Su Yunling. I have already severed my relationship with her. This matter has nothing to do with the Saint and the Su Mansion!" Su Zhaohong covered his bloody head and explained according to Su Yueying's words.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the resurgence of the epidemic is definitely a problem with the prescription and has nothing to do with County Master Hemin." It was General Pei who stepped forward to speak.

Emperor Jing Zhao rubbed his aching head and asked impatiently, "What evidence do you have, Lord Pei?"

"Because none of my family, including the Prime Minister and his entire residence, have been infected with the disease, because we are all taking the medicine prepared by the Hemin County Lady."

General Pei's words immediately awakened Emperor Jing Zhao. The empress dowager, who was the first to fall ill in the palace, was also safe and sound. It was Su Yunling who cured the empress dowager.

At this time, two ministers reacted and realized that they did not have a relapse this time. It seemed that it was because the servants in the mansion failed to get the medicine from Jishidiang, so they temporarily bought the ones from Baicaotang.

Now it seems that he has escaped a disaster.

As more and more evidence showed that there was something wrong with Su Yueying's prescription, the father and daughter looked disheartened.

Emperor Jing Zhao immediately ordered someone to summon Su Yunling to meet him.

Su Yunling was not surprised at all. If she hadn't thought about the innocence of the people deceived by Su Yueying, she would never have been so quick to come forward to clean up this mess and leave this dog emperor alone for a few days.

As soon as Emperor Jing Zhao saw Su Yunling, he asked her if she had any medicine to fight the plague.

Su Yunling pretended to be stupid and said, "Didn't the emperor tell me that I don't need to worry about the medicine for the plague? So I sold all the medicine to Prince Junyang. What's wrong? Could it be that the prescription given by the saint is not effective anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing Zhao's expression became as colorful as a color palette. He never thought that even as the emperor, he would get slapped in the face one day.

"Then you submit the prescription, and I will ask the Imperial Medical Bureau to work with you to prepare the medicine as soon as possible."

Su Yunling glanced at Su Yueying, who was kneeling beside him, gritting her teeth and enduring, and slowly took out the prescription from her sleeve.

Su Zhaohong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He knew that once Emperor Jing Zhao discovered that Su Yunling's prescription was almost the same as Su Yueying's, then he and Su Yueying's theft of the prescription would no longer be concealed.

What you fear will come true. When Emperor Jing Zhao saw the prescription, he felt it was very familiar and immediately asked someone from the Imperial Medical Bureau to check it.

When the imperial doctors took one look at it, they discovered that this prescription was almost identical to the one that the saint lady had presented to the emperor before, except for slight deviations in the grams of a few herbs and the addition of a rare herb.

It happened that an imperial physician once bought different medicine packages from various pharmacies in order to record prescriptions for treating the plague.

When a package of Jishitang medicine and a package of Baicaotang medicine were opened and compared at the same time, the imperial physician quickly discovered that there was an extra powdered medicinal ingredient in the Baicaotang medicine package.

Because it is mixed in the residue at the bottom of other medicinal materials, it is easy to be overlooked.

"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, the Saint's prescription should have been written with reference to the prescription of Baicaotang..."
