Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

With no one else in the emperor's harem, she became the first woman to enter.

Once it happens, it will happen again. The original owner, Chixing, would take any beautiful woman he saw into his harem. This was a major event that would lead to the continuation of the family line, and Mu Zeyu couldn't say anything about it.

What he didn't know was that Moranshan's goal was the throne.

Unable to seduce Mu Zeyu, Mo Lanshan set her sights on Chi Xing. After a series of palace intrigues, Mo Lanshan successfully became the empress.

At this time, Moranshan's third brother was accused of raping and murdering a peasant girl and was brought before the Prefect of Jingzhao.

250: [Mo Lanshan, relying on her status as the Empress, tried to interfere in the case, but Mu Zeyu's confidant learned that the peasant girl was the daughter of a retired soldier.]

The matter was brought to Mu Zeyu's attention, and he personally reviewed the case, sentencing Mo Lanshan's third brother to death in the autumn as a warning to others.

Moranshan could only beg the original owner of this body for help; that was the Empress's brother, how could she pay for a commoner's life?

The original owner of this body thought so too, and during the morning court session, she ordered Mu Zeyu to retry the case, claiming that Mo Lanshan's third brother had been wronged by a commoner.

Mu Zeyu refused on the spot, and almost all the court officials sided with him. Only then did the original owner of the body realize that he was just a nominal emperor and no one listened to him.

At the same time, the thought of killing Mu Zeyu arose in his mind.

Moranshan also had this idea.

After Mo Lanshan's third brother was beheaded and his head displayed in public, the Mo family completely regarded Mu Zeyu as a thorn in their side.

The original owner and Moranshan were on the same side, winning over the ministers who had followed the late emperor. Only by killing the regent could the Great Jin Kingdom truly belong to them.

The original owner finally understood why his father killed the Mu family, and completely forgot that he almost froze to death when he was a child, and it was Mu Zeyu who saved him.

250: [Floods occurred in many parts of the south, and officials sent to provide disaster relief were repeatedly robbed and killed, so the regent had no choice but to go there.]

Along the way, they encountered several open and covert attacks, including bandits, guards, and assassins. In fact, all of them were sent by the young emperor and the Mo family.

However, she never succeeded. Mo Lanshan was determined to kill Mu Zeyu in the south; once Mu Zeyu returned to the capital, killing him wouldn't be so easy.

Upon seeing what followed, Akahoshi frowned and couldn't help but curse:

"Shameless slut."

The torrential rain that had been pouring down overnight was about to break down the dam that was blocking most of the southern region. The regent led his soldiers and civilians to reinforce the dam. After the work was completed, the flood was finally about to end.

On his way back to the capital, the Regent Prince dealt with corrupt officials and bandits, and distributed disaster relief funds and grain to the people. Halfway there, Moranshan's explosives were successfully manufactured, and the newly reinforced dam was blown up by the people sent by the dog emperor.

The village, which had just been resettled, was hit by floods again. The floods occurred in the middle of the night, and all the villages near the upstream were submerged, and tens of thousands of people were swept away.

That's not all. Moranshan thought of using the plague to kill Mu Zeyu. If there was no plague, she would create one.

The bodies retrieved were piled up in the small village, and the refugees who had fled the famine were unknowingly infected with a serious epidemic.

After the first infected person was identified, the infection quickly spread to many villages in the south.

This includes Qingzhu Village, where the Regent resides.

The regent could not bear to watch the people die one by one, so he summoned the imperial physicians and doctors. Physician Chen devised a prescription.

250 said angrily: "Originally, Mu Zeyu had not contracted the disease, so his subordinates would never have allowed him to come into contact with patients."

He never imagined that the emperor was the mastermind behind it all. The scoundrel emperor had sent over an imperial edict that had been soaked in water contaminated with plague.

Unable to prevent it, the Regent and the other officials who came with him soon contracted the plague. Moranshan seized the family member of one of the imperial physicians and forced him to poison the Regent.

And so, Mu Zeyu drank the medicine laced with arsenic and died that very night.

The regent died, and Qingzhu Village was surrounded by government troops. They did not believe that the imperial physicians had developed a prescription, and they did not even let the villagers who had been cured out.

The original owner ordered the village to be burned down, and overnight, Qingzhu Village and all the living people inside were burned to death.

The emperor and the Mo family celebrated for several days, forgetting the rampant plague outside.

The epidemic spread throughout the Great Jin Dynasty, even reaching the border cities, where the people suffered terribly, with hundreds or even thousands dying almost every day.

Everything was handed over to the Mo family, while the emperor was still plotting how to kill the officials who had previously supported the regent.

Little did they know that the Mo family's solution to the epidemic was to burn down villages and impose a city-wide lockdown, disregarding the lives of the people.

When the plague spread to the Kingdom of Xiqi, the second prince of Xiqi, Lin'an, accidentally saw the desperate people of the Kingdom of Dajin and felt compassion for them.

He ordered people to develop a prescription, and Lin'an set up a soup kitchen in the border town to brew medicine for the people of the Great Jin Dynasty free of charge.

When the officials and soldiers from the Great Jin Kingdom arrived at the border city, they immediately ordered the city to be sealed off without saying a word, completely disregarding the lives of the people inside.

The people were filled with fear and anxiety. When they learned that people from Xiqi were delivering medicine and porridge to the border, they flocked to Xiqi.

The border officials were former subordinates of the regent. The regent was dead, and the people were about to collapse. So, they decided to lead the people of the city to surrender to Xiqi.

The second prince of Xiqi led his army into the city, allocated silver for disaster relief and rescue, and saved several villages that were about to be massacred by the Jin army.

250 snorted coldly: "Actually, those people weren't sick at all. It was those perverts from the Mo family who took a fancy to the girls in the village and wanted to take them away. So they burned the others to death as if they were sick."

Lin An appeared just in time and saved those people, so more and more people flocked to Xiqi, until the second city actively welcomed Lin An into its gates.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The neighboring states of Luoxia, Dongxiang, and Nanling followed the example of Xiqi, accepting the people of Great Jin and dividing Great Jin among themselves.

One by one, the cities of the Great Jin Kingdom fell, and the Mo family could no longer command the officials in the court. Even the officials they had sent down all fled to other countries with their families. Apart from bandits, no one dared to wield swords against innocent civilians anymore.

Nevertheless, countless people died during the pandemic, and even people from other countries couldn't help but feel pity for them.

Seeing that things were spiraling out of control, Mo Lanshan made the original owner of the body admit her mistake and ask the Xiqi Kingdom for a prescription.

The original owner of this body also realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, but the Xiqi army had already arrived in the capital in a blatant manner, and Lin An was able to rightfully seek justice for the common people.

The original owner of this body demanded that the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty atone with his death, but he did not wish to die.

Moranshan secretly corresponded with Linping, the eldest prince of Xiqi, claiming that she knew nothing about what the original owner of the body had done and that she was willing to kill the emperor.

The original owner climbed the city wall and looked at the desolation in the imperial city, where people were displaced, and only then did he realize how good the regent was.

He thought the regent was his shackle and disgrace, but little did he know that without the regent, he was nothing more than a stray dog.

250 snorted coldly: "It's no use regretting it now. He didn't dare jump off the city wall later. It was Moranshan who killed him."

Akahoshi looked at the thick stack of content that followed and felt a headache coming on: [This isn't the ending either?]
