Chapter 1298 I Saw You Burn People Alive
"They're here! They're chasing us!"
"We can't let them catch us, being caught means certain death!"
"Everyone run! Run!"
But no one expected that the pursuers would be only one person.
"Prin-Princess?"
More than a dozen people stopped, looking at the woman descending from the sky, momentarily unable to react.
The Princess, of noble birth, had personally pursued them, and alone at that.
How, how was this possible?
They, these lowly commoners, with their worthless lives, were they truly worth it?
"I know you are uneasy, but I can assure you, I will definitely find a way to develop new medicine and help everyone overcome this difficulty."
"The patients can be cured. When I was in Beiming, I also cured patients suffering from plague in Tuoxi Village. I swear on my royal honor, I am not lying to you."
Everyone looked at each other, their gazes finally falling on Chu Qianli, their faces showing hesitation.
Should they believe the Princess's words?
But the fact that the Princess had personally pursued them was enough to move everyone.
"We... we took the medicine, and many people... collapsed."
Someone whispered.
"Yes... yes, Princess, it's not that we don't want to obey, we just... we just don't want to die..."
The commoners in the epidemic zone would be abandoned if they couldn't be cured in the end.
At that time, perhaps the entire village would be destroyed by them.
Just like... just like the neighboring Baijing Village.
Everyone knew that Prince Ling had led a team of strong royal guards and burned the entire village to the ground.
"Princess, we... we really don't want to die, we're not sick, you can't... you can't burn us to death..."
"You can't burn us to death..."
"You can't!"
Everyone's emotions gradually began to stir.
"Baijing Village has already been burned..."
"Baijing Village was burned because there wasn't a single living person left in the entire Baijing Village!"
Chu Qianli's voice deepened slightly, but it remained gentle.
"We burned the corpses carrying the virus, not the living patients. As long as people are alive, I will never give up."
"No! Today... today I saw you kill people! You burned living people to death!"
A child of seven or eight years old, hiding behind a tall man, trembling with fear, still firmly finished speaking:
"Your guards burned Uncle Arno to death. He was clearly still alive! He had just spoken to me not long ago, and then you burned him to death."
"You are bad people, you... cough! Cough cough!"
Before the child could finish, he started coughing.
And the cough grew more violent, seemingly unstoppable.
"I didn't know about this. When I get back, I will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly!"
She had been busy all day today, so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.
Unexpectedly, someone had done such a thing behind her back!
Besides Chu Minghao, there was probably no one else in this entire contingent who would dare to do such a thing!
That scoundrel must have feared that the seriously ill would infect others and ordered them to burn them secretly!
How could he not spare even the living!
"Don't worry, I will definitely punish that person severely, but you... your condition doesn't seem good, let me check your pulse."
This child had been coughing, and his symptoms looked very similar to those of the sick.
He said he had spoken to Uncle Arno, so perhaps Uncle Arno was also a seriously ill patient.
Then he... wasn't he also infected?
"Don't be afraid, let me check your pulse!"
