Emperor Liang De deliberately concealed the news in the palace to prevent people outside the palace from having any unwanted thoughts.

But now that Puyang Hou's son has died, people in the mansion are talking a lot, and naturally they can't hold it back.

Moreover, the news that the Fang family was sealed immediately caused shock everywhere.

In just two days, everyone in the capital knew that something was wrong - the bone-steam disease had struck again!

"Your Majesty said that from now on the young master does not need to come." He Songning was stopped outside Yinhan Gate by the guards.

He Songning did not ask when His Majesty would summon me again. He turned away thoughtfully.

The emperor had not been in court for several days, and only said that he was suffering from the cold wind in winter.

This started a few days after the seventh prince fell ill...

Nowadays, there are widespread rumors in Beijing that bone steam disease is raging, and people are panicking.

He Songning clenched his fingers.

He didn't want his biological father to die at such a time.

He has not yet been properly recognized back to the Liang Dynasty royal family.

He Songning had a gloomy face and was rarely upset, so he simply ordered his servant to drive to Xu's house.

But as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of a woman crying uncontrollably.

The voice sounded somewhat similar to Xue Qingyin's for a moment.

He strode forward and saw the woman's face clearly. Her almond-shaped eyes and pointed face looked somewhat like Xu Zhi's at first glance, but her eyebrows looked more like those of his aunt Gui.

He Songning reacted immediately: "But my cousin has entered Beijing?"

"Yes, why are you here?" Xu Zhi asked in surprise, then frowned and said, "Your cousin..."

Xu Zhi didn't know what to say and didn't want to touch Xu Qianru's sadness again.

"Why did you die?" Xu Qianru murmured, her eyes almost dry from crying, but it was still difficult to accept such an ending.

He Songning reacted: "You're talking about Puyang Hou's son, Fang Shao?"

How could Xu Qianru hear the name of her beloved now? She clutched her chest and squeezed out a heartbreaking sound from her throat.

Her parents also started crying.

He was from a merchant family and didn't follow many rules. Xu Qi almost cried louder than his daughter. He thought to himself: Why did his daughter have such a miserable life? None of her marriages were successful!

Xu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, she said: "It's a good thing that Qianru doesn't marry..."

She was about to say that Fang Shao had evil intentions.

He Songning followed up and said, "That's a good thing. That Fang Shao died of bone steaming disease. If my cousin sees him frequently in the past two days, I'm afraid she will also be infected."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xu family fell silent.

After a long while, Xu Qi asked cautiously: "What is bone steaming disease...?"

"It's an epidemic." Xu Zhi spat out her voice with an ugly face, "I once heard Xue Chengdong say that many people died because of this when the late emperor was still alive..."

The Xu family was immediately frightened, and even Xu Qianru forgot to cry.

After all, it was just a friendship for a small half month. Now that the disaster has happened to herself and her family, Xu Qianru felt extremely horrified.

"Quick, call the doctor!"

"If I heard that Young Master Fang came here a few days ago, I'm afraid the doctor might not be willing to come..."

"Oops, oops!"

At this time, Xu Zhi also pushed He Songning: "Quickly go!"

She looked ugly: "You know you are suffering from bone steaming disease, why are you going out? Go back!"

He Songning didn't say anything. He felt that there was something strange about this matter.

The Xu family was in such chaos that the matchmakers who were about to come again were frightened away.

Xu Qi was afraid of death and angry at the same time, so she beat her chest and feet inside the door: "Okay, now none of them are here. The county magistrate's daughter is gone!"

The cousins ​​​​of the Xu family all looked stupid and scratched their heads, but there was no sign of sadness or pain.

Xu Zhi looked pale and said: "Qingyin should arrive in Beijing soon... Her body is absolutely immune to such a disease."

Xu Qi gathered his energy and said: "Send a letter asking them not to come..."

Xu Zhi tightened her handkerchief and said, "No... Now the Xu family should seal itself off and no one can come in or out."

Xu Zhi urged He Songning to leave quickly.

He Songning didn't say anything, and left the Xu family before the Xu family sealed off the whole family.

They all have rosy complexions, and they look like they are about to get sick.

He Songning frowned.

Xu Zhi was so disturbed that she forgot to mention to He Songning who Fang Shao's "love" was. Finding out clearly would save Xu Qianru from being sad for such a man again.

She thought that Xu Qianru would not have time to feel sad now that the bone steaming disease came.

Then let's not talk about it, so as not to leave a scar in my niece's heart.

At this time Xu Qi said: "You asked An Ning to go back to the house, are you going to infect your ex-husband as well?"

Xu Zhi: "...What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't think so."

Xu Qi immediately stopped talking.

But Xu Zhi thought of another person.

Later that night, Xu Zhi heard the familiar rustling sound coming from the courtyard wall.

"Don't come over here!" Xu Zhi shouted, a little lost her temper.

Ning Que, who climbed over the wall, was also startled by the voice, but now that his hands and feet were nimble, he still clung firmly without falling.

"Madam, what happened?" Ning Que asked.

"Bone syndrome...do you know about it?" Xu Zhi asked.

When she finished speaking, she heard Ning Que's movements and shouted to stop him: "Just listen to me outside, don't come over..."

Ning Zhen had no choice but to pause and said: "I know. It was a fatal disease that once raged for a while. There is also discussion in the court today that the son of Puyang Marquis may die from this disease. Maybe it has also spread in the palace..."

When Ning Que said this, he suddenly realized something. He fell to the base of the wall, raised his head and stared at Xu Zhi: "Are you sick?"

Xu Zhi said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to come in? Are you crazy?"

"You are sick..." Ning Que's voice trembled. He got up from the ground and walked towards Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi was so frightened that she took two steps back: "You are really crazy. Didn't you hear what I said?"

It was already dark at this time, and the light in the courtyard sparsely shone on her face. Because of her excitement, her hair was slightly messy and her cheeks were flushed.

Full of blood.

Ning Que was stunned for a moment, feeling that she didn't look like she was sick... But he had never seen anyone suffering from bone steaming disease with his own eyes... It seems that people who are sick will cough up blood, and their face will be white and their cheeks will be red?

Ning Que kept walking and even staggered.

The sound in Xu Zhi's throat was blocked: "You, you..."

She could not utter a more ferocious rebuke.

Ning Que rushed up and hugged her. He was so bold that he didn't care about anything.

Xu Zhi's eyes widened.

Where did this man learn the way of a gentleman?

Ning Que felt as if the end was coming.

He murmured: "Madam, please allow me to die together. I have many brothers in my family, and my parents are supported by others..."

Xu Zhi forced out her voice: "I, I'm not dead yet."

Ning Que calmed down and asked, "Have you vomited blood today?"

"No."

"Do you have a fever?"

"No."

"Weak hands and feet, difficulty breathing?"

"……No."

Ning Que let go of her in embarrassment, took two steps back and distanced himself: "...My...Madam, have you...have a doctor come to see you?"

Xu Zhi: "No."

Ning Que became even more embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, "Why did the madam say such things? Isn't the madam infected?"

Xu Zhi: "Maybe it's infected, I don't know. That's why I asked you to know what bone steaming disease is about? Nowadays, no doctor dares to come..."

Ning Que closed his mouth, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
