Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

After leaving the tent, Xie Yan rode a fast horse and left the camp.

He left without telling anyone and only took his personal bodyguard Liu Qi with him.

The soldiers saw the prince riding away and quickly went to tell Di Liang the news.

Di Liang ran out of the tent and saw Xie Yan's figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.

He didn't understand what was going on, nor did he know where the prince was going to find Xie Jin.

Xie Jin said: "He has something to do and is out, don't worry about him."

Hearing that Xie Jin knew what Xie Yan was going to do, Di Liang was no longer so anxious.

The next morning, Xie Jin led the army directly to the gate of Anhuai City, the royal capital of the Karen Kingdom.

When they arrived, Di Liang was surprised to find that the city gate was wide open, and they entered Anhuai City without encountering any obstacles.

Countless people of the Karen Kingdom stood on the streets of the imperial city. They looked with curiosity and fear at the Great Xia God of War, King Rong, who had once terrified their soldiers just by hearing about him.

Now that we have seen their true faces, we are all very serious and nervous. We dare not speak loudly and only lower our heads to talk in whispers.

Just yesterday, their emperor issued an imperial decree to the entire city, unconditionally surrendering to Daxia.

Tell them not to panic, King Rong of Da Xia promised that as long as they submit to Da Xia, he will not kill the people, will not provoke trouble, and can save the lives of their entire family.

Inside the palace hall, all the civil and military officials of the Karen Kingdom were waiting, awaiting Tuoba Han's orders on how to deal with the impending arrival of Xie Jin's army at the imperial city.

However, before they could come up with an effective plan, they saw that the enemy general had led his troops to surround the palace.

Prince Rong Xie Jin was already standing in the hall.

The officials were in a panic:

"What's going on? Why is Xie Jin here? Your Majesty, why is this happening?"

The officials were extremely surprised. They had not received any news that Xie Jin's army had entered the imperial city. Fear was revealed in their eyes, and they stood together looking at Xie Jin.

On the dragon throne, Tuoba Han saw Xie Jin and walked down respectfully to Xie Jin.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Xie Jin said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Tuoba Han pulled off the mask on his face, surprising everyone. The person standing in front of them was not their emperor, but a strange face they had never seen before.

Jin Ling bowed and said, "It's all my duty."

Xie Jin said: "Bring the person up."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came out from the back hall, escorting a slovenly and insane man with his hands tied and a rag stuffed in his mouth.

The person who came was the real Tuoba Han, the emperor of the Karen Kingdom. Tuoba Han was forced to kneel in front of Xie Jin, the cloth in his mouth was taken out, and he cursed loudly:

"Xie Jin, you are a treacherous villain. You sent people to pretend to be me and detained all the officials in the palace. You have destroyed my kingdom. You will not die a good death. I will not submit to you!"

Tuoba Han's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled and his clothes were tattered. He did not have the dignity of an emperor at all. He growled and barked at Xie Jin viciously like a stray dog.

Eight days ago, on the night when Saida City was captured, Tuoba Han received the news that Shao Mingzhi surrendered without a fight, and he immediately abandoned all the officials and fled.

But before he could do anything, a masked man suddenly appeared in his palace and knocked him unconscious. For the next few days, he was tied up, gagged, and locked in a box.

It was not until today that he found out that the man who appeared that night had taken over the imperial power in his place. He neither fled nor ordered the city to be sealed off. He also told the people not to panic, brought the wives and children of hundreds of officials into the palace and forced them to enter, thus trapping all his people.

Seeing that the emperor who had been discussing important matters with them in the past few days was actually someone pretending to be someone close to Prince Rong, the Karen officials in the hall turned pale. They realized that they were completely finished and had no room for maneuver.

Tuoba Han continued to curse, Xie Jin said calmly:

"If you had known this would happen, you shouldn't have come to attack Da Xia!"

Xie Jin listed one by one the crimes that Tuoba Han had committed in the past few years, including stirring up chaos on the border of Daxia, sending assassins to kill members of the Daxia royal family many times within Daxia, and even sending Princess Tuoba Qilan to murder the Queen of Daxia.

Tuoba Han's eyes were bloodshot and he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"So what if I did it? The Great Xia Emperor deserves death, and so do you. I don't accept it. I am the Emperor of the Karen Nation, the high and mighty Emperor. None of you can do this to me!"

Xie Jin sneered: "Not convinced?"

Before Tuoba Han could say anything, a cold light flashed and a blood mark appeared on Tuoba Han's neck.

Tuoba Han stared with his eyes wide open, unable to make any more sounds, and his head fell to the ground with a "crack".

Tuoba Han was dead, beheaded in public. Xie Jin looked grimly at the Karen officials in the hall:

"Whoever refuses to obey and surrender, stand up!"

The officials were worried. Their emperor had been beheaded in public, and his wife and children were in the hands of the enemy. Who would dare to disobey and surrender?

Kneeling on the ground:

"I submit to Daxia and King Rong."

Only one emperor died and the enemy's capital was completely conquered. Di Liang looked at Xie Jin with admiration and worship in his eyes.

As expected of King Rong, he arranged everything. Tuoba Han deserved death for his crime, and he was killed to serve as a warning to others. He also used the emperor's order to stabilize the people of the city and make all the officials submit. His soldiers captured the Kingdom of Karen without shedding a drop of blood. It was really smart!

The imperial seal of the Karen Emperor was seized, and the Western Expedition ended. The next step was to deal with the aftermath.

Ten days later, Feng Qingluan and his party rode at full speed to Suining City.

Meng Hanlin was informed of Feng Qingluan's return in advance.

As the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Meng Hanlin has been in charge of Emperor Xia Ming's health. However, since several imperial doctors sent for the epidemic were unable to find an effective treatment, Meng Hanlin volunteered to go to the epidemic area.

Emperor Xia Ming sent troops to escort and guard him, and explicitly forbade Meng Hanlin to enter the epidemic area.

Upon learning that Feng Qingluan was about to arrive in Suining City, Meng Hanlin arrived at the city gate early to greet her.

When he saw her, Meng Hanlin walked up to her excitedly:

"Miss Feng, it's great that you're back. The people are saved."

Feng Qingluan jumped off the carriage and exchanged a few brief greetings with Meng Hanlin. Then Meng Hanlin told her the specific epidemic situation in Suining City as they walked.

"The worst-hit area in Suining City is in West City, which has been blocked and heavily guarded. Even so, there are still many people in West City who have not been infected with the disease. In order to prevent the disease from spreading to East City, those people are also trapped inside."

Meng Hanlin urgently called Feng Qingluan back because of this situation.

If Feng Qingluan can come up with the antidote as soon as possible, not only the patients infected with the epidemic can be saved, but also the healthy patients can be saved.

Otherwise, if non-sick patients stay with sick patients for a long time, they will be infected sooner or later. Even if they survive by chance, Song Xiangwu will order a zero-case outbreak, and only death will await them.

Feng Qingluan learned about the symptoms of the epidemic from the letters. She asked Anfeng to send Shen Wan to Qiufeng Pavilion, the residence arranged for them by Meng Hanlin, and then followed Meng Hanlin to a patient isolation area in Xicheng.

She needs to see the patient's actual condition before she can make a more accurate judgment.
