Xuan Ningxuan returned to his residence with the support of Caiyun and Caixia. The imperial doctor quickly came in and bandaged the wound on Xuan Ningxuan's wrist.
Xuan Ningxuan closed his eyes tightly and frowned tightly. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he just felt Murong Jingwan's aura.
When he searched for her figure everywhere, he was disappointed. It turned out that it was his illusion.
The imperial doctor carefully bandaged the wound on Xuan Ningxuan's wrist and walked out with a solemn expression.
Caixia vaguely felt that something was wrong with the imperial doctor's expression, as if he had something to hide, so she immediately chased the imperial doctor out.
"Physician, please stay!" Caixia called in a low voice.
The imperial doctor stopped and looked at Caixia solemnly, but he didn't know how to speak.
"The Imperial Physician, but there is something wrong with the Emperor's health." As smart as Caixia, how could she not know that there must be something wrong with Xuan Ningxuan's health, which is why the Imperial Physician's expression was so solemn.
The imperial doctor glanced at Caixia, finally nodded, and said helplessly: "Since the empress disappeared with the prince, the emperor has focused all his energy on political affairs, and his health has been deteriorating. This time the emperor came regardless of his own physical comfort.
Luoyang, but..."
Caixia's heart suddenly twitched, wondering whether the emperor had contracted the plague, but she had been serving Xuan Ningxuan attentively and found no sign that he had contracted the plague.
"Imperial physician, has the emperor contracted the plague?" Caixia asked worriedly, but her hands kept stirring.
The imperial doctor sighed heavily and nodded slowly.
Caixia's body couldn't help but swayed, and it took a long time before she slowly came back to her senses.
"Imperial Physician, is there any way to cure the Emperor's plague?" Caixia asked with a sad expression as she grabbed the lapel of the Imperial Physician's clothes.
The imperial doctor raised his head and looked at Caixia solemnly, and said helplessly: "Miss Caixia, the plague in Luoyang this time is extremely dangerous. Until now, we have not been able to develop an antidote to control the plague. The emperor is weak, I am afraid...
But that’s it…”
"What do you mean by not being able to survive? He is a good emperor, he cannot die, do you know?" Caixia said hoarsely, shaking the body of the imperial doctor. How could Xuan Ningxuan die? He has not yet waited for the empress.
"Miss Caixia, I will do my best. But don't tell the emperor or the people of Luoyang about this for the time being, so as not to cause panic." The imperial doctor warned carefully, he was afraid that if he told Xuan Ningxuan, it would aggravate his illness.
illness.
Caixia took a deep breath and walked slowly towards Xuan Ningxuan's bedroom.
"Caixia, why have you been here for so long!" As soon as Caixia entered the room, Caiyun couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"Fool, I always have to ask the imperial doctor how we should take care of the emperor." Caixia said with a fake smile.
Caiyun looked at Caixia suspiciously, and finally took Caixia's hand and walked out of the house, whispering: "The emperor just fell asleep, we'd better not disturb him."
** ***
In order to develop an antidote as soon as possible, Murong Jingwan chose to live with the people infected with the plague.
Murong Jingwan discovered that the plague was extremely dangerous, and the only way to find a solution was to let herself be infected with the plague.
After only living in the city for a few days, Murong Jingwan did not contract the plague. Not being able to find an antidote and not being able to catch the plague herself made Murong Jingwan very impatient.
"Have you noticed that since that day, the emperor has never come out again, right..." A man in coarse clothes said worriedly.
"Don't be a crow, the emperor is a good emperor, God will bless him." The woman next to the man punched the man hard and said angrily.
The unintentional conversation between the two made Murong Jingwan panic. Xuan Ningxuan's body was so thin that he could not really be infected with the plague.
Murong Jingwan was horrified, turned around and walked quickly towards Xuan Ningxuan's residence.
Before she even got close to Xuan Ningxuan's residence, Murong Jingwan stopped and wondered how she was going to face Xuan Ningxuan.
"Girl, this is the residence of the emperor. No one can get close to it." The imperial doctor was about to go out to get medicine for Xuan Ningxuan, but unexpectedly met Murong Jingwan standing outside.
Murong Jingwan slowly turned around, her face covered by a black hat. She was not afraid of being recognized.
"I'm sorry, I went to the wrong place." Murong Jingwan said softly.
The imperial doctor shook his head and left in a hurry.
Murong Jingwan turned around and walked back. It was not the time to see Xuan Ningxuan now. It would not be too late for her to see him when it got dark.
As soon as the sky turned dark, Murong Jingwan couldn't help but use Qinggong to enter Xuan Ningxuan's residence. Before she even got close to Xuan Ningxuan's bedroom, Murong Jingwan heard subtle sobs.
"Caixia, why didn't you tell the emperor that he was infected with the plague?" Caiyun's crying voice came from not far away. Murong Jingwan's heart suddenly froze, Xuan Ningxuan was actually infected with the plague.
"In order not to make everyone worry, I chose not to say anything. I thought that the emperor's condition would improve, but I didn't know..." Caixia said seriously.
Murong Jingwan was disturbed by the conversation between Caiyun and Caixia, and she even choked slightly.
"Who, who is there?" Caixia said in a panic, holding Caiyun's hand tightly.
Murong Jingwan came back to her senses and realized that she had cried out unknowingly. Murong Jingwan slowly walked out of the darkness, wearing a black hat that made Caixia and Caiyun forget their reaction for a moment.
After a long time, Caixia slowly approached Murong Jingwan and asked uncertainly: "Are you the Queen?"
Murong Jingwan took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
The tears in Caixia's eyes immediately fell from the corners of her eyes, and she hugged Murong Jingwan's body while crying.
Murong Jingwan gently stretched out her hands and patted Caixia's back, comforting her.
Caiyun slowly walked to Murong Jingwan's side with tears in her eyes, and said with choked sobs: "Mother, are you worried that the emperor has just come back? The emperor is now infected with the plague, and his life is in danger."
"He really contracted the plague." Murong Jingwan said with a sad expression.
"Your Majesty, you are also good at medicine. Can you develop an antidote to the plague?" Caiyun looked at Murong Jingwan as if asking for help. The imperial doctor was now helpless. Perhaps only Murong Jingwan could do anything.
"Caiyun, Caixia, my trip to Luoyang is indeed about the plague. But you must promise me not to tell the emperor about my coming to Luoyang." Murong Jingwan took off the black bamboo hat with one hand and looked solemn.
said.
Caixia let go of Murong Jingwan and asked puzzledly: "Empress, didn't you come back to forgive the emperor? Why did you hide it from him again?"
Murong Jingwan sighed heavily, how should she explain to Caiyun and Caixia that she and Xuan Ningxuan could never be together.
