Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

"Master Long, since you've all been infected with the plague, stop running around and causing harm to others. The Emperor has issued an order that we must stay here and not let anyone inside take a single step out. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

Because the Long family is currently still in the sixty cities of Tianqi, it is still under the jurisdiction of Mu Yuanzhi.

After Mu Yuanzhi learned that the Long family might have been infected with the epidemic, he immediately sent people to surround the place.

This was a great gift he gave to the Phoenix Kingdom, and he didn't want Tianqi to get involved in it.

The head of the Long family's face changed drastically when he heard this. The emperor wanted to trap the Long family here to death.

He staggered a few steps and nearly fell, but he managed to steady himself by grabbing the door frame.

"how so."

His old face was full of despair.

He treated his two daughters as abandoned children, and now the situation has changed, and the emperor has also treated him as an abandoned child.

The huge Long family with hundreds of people, is it possible that the entire family will be wiped out at his hands today?

He stumbled back to find the court doctor and ordered him to develop an antidote.

Unexpectedly, the court physician was the first to fall ill. He had a fever all over his body, was unconscious, and was lying on the bed talking nonsense.

The head of the Long family suffered another blow. He wanted to write a letter to contact the thousands of private soldiers he had trained, break through the siege forcibly, and find a glimmer of hope.

But no matter how many carrier pigeons he released, he received no response.

After learning that they were infected with the plague, the private soldiers had already dispersed on their own.

The head of the Long family was so angry that he vomited blood. He really vomited blood. He vomited a large amount of blood, which dyed the collar of his clothes red. He has been ill ever since.

When the people in the mansion learned that he was about to die, they no longer endured it.

The Long family has always treated their servants harshly, not only beating and scolding them, but also giving them pitifully little monthly salary. Especially those servants who sold their bodies to the Long family lived in dire straits.

Now that they were all about to die, they gathered together and rebelled, seeking revenge and grievances, and beat the Long family members until they cried for their parents.

Every day that followed, those members of the Long family who had been high and mighty and domineering were forced to become servants, while the former servants suddenly became masters who enjoyed being served.

The servants ordered them to make the beds and fold the quilts, and to take out the feces and urine.

Not only that, everyone's body began to react.

Everyone clearly realized that they would really die.

Because of the hot weather, the yard where Hongfeng and Zixuan's bodies were discarded began to emit a rotten and foul smell. In addition, many people in the mansion also began to develop sores on their bodies, resulting in no one daring to approach the Long Mansion.

The people inside might have gotten used to the smell and didn't react much.

After a few days, all the people in Long Mansion died.

The officers and soldiers burned the place down to prevent the epidemic from spreading.

At the quarry, several elderly people died.

If they hadn't been taking the prescriptions prescribed by Dr. Jiang to alleviate their symptoms, they would definitely not have survived until now.

Being able to hold on until now is a miracle in itself.

But as soon as death occurs, it will inevitably bring stress and fear to everyone.

Those with severe symptoms began to become irritable, sometimes crying bitterly and sometimes knocking over bowls of medicine.

"It's all going to be a death anyway, so why not just die quickly and avoid all the torture?"

"Yes, the festering areas on my body have started to breed maggots. I am tortured by this wriggling sensation all the time. It is really painful."

They were extremely devastated, and countless people wanted to commit suicide, but were stopped by their companions.

Song Zhi hurried over and saw the situation. She shouted, "Don't waste your energy moving around. Doctor Jiang has made a great breakthrough. He said he'll be able to develop a prescription to cure everyone in no time."

When everyone heard her voice, they inexplicably calmed down.

One of the younger guys asked with red eyes, "Lady Empress, can we really survive?"

Song Zhi choked up and said, "Of course I can!"

Everyone was barely pacified.

But one can clearly feel that the atmosphere here is more than a little heavy.

Everyone lay on their own beds and no longer communicated with each other, just staring at the tent with lifeless eyes, as if waiting for the arrival of death.

Song Zhi didn't know what else to say to make them happy. As long as the epidemic could not be cured, they would never smile again.

For the first time, she felt so powerless. She could only watch these people suffer and die in front of her. She hated herself so much that she was not a miracle doctor and could not save everyone.

Looking at the dead silence in the entire camp, Song Zhi was heartbroken.

These were her people, and she had failed to protect them.

The overwhelming guilt and self-blame made her so angry that she fainted.

"Daughter-in-law?"

"Daughter-in-law? Wake up, daughter-in-law!"

When he was drowsy, Song Zhi heard a familiar voice calling him.

She wanted to open her eyes, but found her eyelids were too heavy to lift.

At this time, the familiar gentle voice continued, "What's going on, Tongzi? I finally completed a subway escape side quest and earned some points, but I used them all to see my daughter-in-law. You can't let her stay unconscious to see me."

A childish voice said, "Don't be angry, host. I didn't expect this to happen either. It seems she encountered some problems in her small world. Let me check and get back to you right away."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and don't waste time."

Song Zhi's slow thinking finally made her remember that this was her mother-in-law's voice.

She wanted to open her eyes excitedly, but her eyelids seemed to be stuck together and she couldn't open them at all.

She tried to move her limbs, but she couldn't move at all.

Just when I was getting anxious, that childish voice sounded again.

"Host, I've checked it out. This is what's going on."

The system explained the epidemic in detail.

Long Wu's face was solemn. "Why did that epidemic appear again? Didn't we already eradicate it completely?"

"We did disinfect, but we couldn't stop people from committing suicide."

The system repeated the story of the medicinal residue, and Long Wu stood up in anger. "No way! How dare you keep this thing!"

The system soothed him, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. Since your daughter-in-law has been in a coma and there's been no communication since we teleported her here, it's considered an invalid meeting. I've already contacted the Lord God System to have all the points you used returned to your account. Consider using these points to treat those patients."

Long Wu said, "This concerns my daughter-in-law's prestige, so of course I have to do this. But this time, you have to promise me that the disinfection is thorough and there won't be any more fish that slip through the net. Otherwise, I will contact you for after-sales service."

The system smiled evilly, "Alright, I'll redeem it for the host right away."

Throughout the whole process, Song Zhi was extremely conscious, but he could not open his eyes at all.
