The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Qin Baiwei returned to the room with the hot marriage certificate, and saw her father Qin Xu sitting in the room with a gloomy face.

She walked forward and bowed casually: "Dad——"

What responded to her was a loud slap in the face.

"You have grown wings now, and you completely ignored my words, right? You knew very well that I took such a big risk to come to Lingnan this time, just to use the credit for the Lingnan epidemic to exchange for favor from the emperor, so that I could send you to the prince's mansion and fight for a better status for you. But you acted on your own and regarded my painstaking efforts as nothing, right?!"

Qin Baiwei felt the burning sensation on her face. She knew how deep the finger marks on her cheek were without even touching it. She just looked at her father and sneered, "Dad, ask yourself, are you really doing this just for my sake? Are you doing this for me, or for your so-called Qin family?!"

Qin Xu said angrily: "Don't forget, your last name is also Qin!"

Qin Baiwei smiled sadly and said, "If I knew that being born as the daughter of the Qin family would not allow me to enjoy any of the Qin family's blessings, but would have to sell my whole life for the Qin family, I would rather not have the last name Qin!"

Qin Xu was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He said angrily, "Even if you used tricks to marry Pei Yi, so what? He doesn't have you in his heart at all. Is this your ambition to marry a man who doesn't have you in his heart?"

Qin Baiwei never thought that Qin Xu was a competent father, but she still felt extremely sad to be hurt by her own father. She couldn't help but fight back: "Even if Dad sent me to the Prince's Mansion, what would happen if I gave birth to a prince in the future? Wouldn't it still be Li instead of Qin? If Dad could give birth to another brother, so that the Qin family's incense could continue, it would be more safe for the Qin family's ancestors than sending me to the Prince's Mansion!"

Snapped!

Qin Xu was so angry that his chest heaved violently. Only by slapping the ungrateful man in front of him hard could he vent the anger in his heart.

He gasped and cursed, "You are not the only daughter in the Qin family. I will give your sister everything you don't want! Don't even mention that you will have to kneel down and pay your respects to your sister when you see her!" After that, he turned away.

Qin Baiwei sneered. Qin Zelan, that idiot, was lucky enough for the Qin family to survive in the harem for more than three months. Since her father was happy to send the little bitch to the harem to die, she would just wait and see.

Lu Xiuzhu watched a good show in the square in the morning and returned to his room feeling refreshed.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt a cold object on my neck.

He didn't dare to act rashly, knowing that someone had broken into the room, but the person was standing behind him and he couldn't see who that person was.

He said cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

The ugly old woman walked out from behind Lu Xiuzhu, the dagger still against his neck, staring at him with eyes that seemed to be filled with rage, as if she wished to burn the man in front of her to ashes immediately.

She glared at Lu Xiuzhu and asked sternly, "I asked you to give the prescription to the Crown Prince's Consort, why did you give it to that bitch Qin Baiwei?!"

When Lu Xiuzhu saw who the person was, he became even more confused and asked, "What is the relationship between my mother-in-law and the Crown Prince's Consort?"

The ugly mother-in-law's expression was evasive for a moment, and the dagger tightened, saying: "The relationship between the Crown Prince's wife and I is naturally master and servant, so I came to ask you for justice!"

Lu Xiuzhu noticed the ugly old woman's evasive look, and her mind was racing with thoughts. The relationship between this old woman and A Yuan must be complicated, but she didn't want anyone to notice it. She didn't dare to give the prescription to A Yuan in person, which must be related to this.

And looking at her expression, she clearly wanted to kill him, but she forced herself to hold back. She probably didn't want to cause trouble and make people doubt her identity.

After figuring this out and knowing that his life was not in danger for the time being, Lu Xiuzhu relaxed and said to the ugly mother-in-law, "I'm afraid your identity is not as simple as a servant, right? If you put away the knife now, I might be able to keep the prescription a secret for you. If you want to kill me to vent your anger for the Crown Prince's Consort, you can kill me now."

The ugly old woman looked at Lu Xiuzhu, who seemed to be ready to die bravely, and sneered, "You are just a villain who can only do small things behind the scenes. No wonder the Crown Prince's wife doesn't like you! Compared with Pei Yi, you are really much worse!"

After hearing this, Lu Xiuzhu froze up. He tried his best to hide his inner pain and sneered, "How can mother-in-law be so frank? Didn't you only dare to give me the prescription in private? In this case, don't blame the prescription for falling into the hands of others."

The ugly old woman was choked by Lu Xiuzhu and was also angry. If it weren't for her special identity, the Dajin was already wary of Nanzhao, and the epidemic in Lingnan was indeed created by Nanzhao to deal with the Dajin, she would not be afraid of her identity being exposed and bringing danger to Ayuan.

Even at this moment, she was afraid to kill Lu Xiuzhu and trigger an investigation by the Jin court.

She put away the dagger, slapped Lu Xiuzhu on the back, forcing him to open his mouth, and instantly stuffed a pill into his mouth. She slapped him on the back again, forcing him to swallow the pill.

He said coldly: "Even if I can't kill anyone who dares to hurt Ah Yuan, I won't let you off easily. When you roll around in pain on the night of the full moon, I hope you can still be so stubborn."

After the prescription was announced, it was quickly distributed to all imperial physicians and doctors, and spread to the counties and villages under Lingnan.

Half a month later, when everyone was immersed in the hope of recovery, a patient who had taken the medicine suddenly died, and his condition progressed faster than before taking the prescription.

All the doctors were unable to find the cause, and the dark clouds that had just dispersed over Lingnan gathered again.

Qin Baiwei didn't know why this happened, but facing Pei Yi's questioning, she didn't know how to explain.

Xie Zhichan cut off small pieces of skin tissue from the newly deceased patients. After observing the condition of these tissues in the medical space, he said to Pei Yi: "The prescription is indeed effective, but it is not completely effective."

Falling from the clouds of hope into the abyss of despair is more painful than staying in despair.

Many patients could not bear such repeated blows and suddenly started to make trouble. Many patients began to find ways to secretly escape from Lingnan.

Pei Yi had no choice but to order the closure of city gates in Lingnan and not allow the people of Lingnan to flee, in order to prevent the disease from being brought to other parts of Dajin.

But the bad thing was that after a few days, word somehow spread that the court had decided to burn to death all the sick people.

Lingnan was in a precarious situation for the time being, and civil unrest could break out at any time.
