Xiaoqian's words made Doudou notice something strange, and he rushed over to stop her.
"Sister Xiaoqian, I still have something to say to you. Why did you go back to your room?"
Xiaoqian twitched her lips and sneered, "How can your sister, Xiaoqian, be as charming and charming as Princess Yongping? If you have anything to say, you should talk to Princess Yongping."
"But didn't we have a good chat in the letter? We are still imagining what we will do after we meet. Why are you so cold to me?"
Xiaoqian bit her lips and looked at him. With such a stupid head, couldn't he tell that she was angry? How could she ask such a mindless question?
Thinking of this, she frowned and stared at him, "Am I indifferent to you? How many times have you looked at me since I came here? All you see is Princess Yongping. If so, what's the point of me still being here? I
I really feel that it’s not worth it for me to have kept your promise for so many years.”
Seeing that she was a little angry, Princess Yongping seemed to be gloating about her misfortune. She walked directly between the two of them and looked at Xiaoqian pretending to be pitiful.
"What's wrong with Sister Xiaoqian? You and I have come all the way, so it's right for Su Liyang to look at me more, right? Why are you so excited? I don't usually see that Sister Xiaoqian is such a narrow-minded person?
"
It was okay if she didn't say this, but when she said it, Xiaoqian became even more annoyed. She glared at her fiercely, frowning in displeasure,
"I'm not narrow-minded. Doudou told me that he will only like me in this life, but now you come out to interfere with me. Don't you think you are boring? If I were you, I would have run far away.
Why bother asking for trouble?"
"Am I asking for trouble?"
Princess Yongping repeated her words, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I am the one my father and the emperor ordered to get married, and the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also recognized this marriage. How can I ask for trouble? It's you,
I heard that the princess’ biological sister, that is, Su Liyang’s biological aunt, is your royal sister-in-law. So Su Liyang should call you aunt. You should be Su Liyang’s elder, so you should look like an elder.
, you shouldn’t do this kind of jealousy thing here.”
As soon as she said this, Xiaoqian's face suddenly turned livid. She didn't like people to mention her relationship with Su Liyang. Now Princess Yongping actually said it openly, which made her extremely embarrassed.
pole.
Doudou also looked at Princess Yongping angrily and said to her coldly:
"The matter between me and Sister Xiaoqian has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to participate. As for the emperor's marriage grant you mentioned, I don't agree, and no one can force me, so I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible.
, I will not compromise with you and the emperor, I said that I will not marry anyone other than Sister Xiaoqian in this life, and since I have said that, I will definitely do it."
After leaving these words, he stepped forward and took Xiaoqian's hand, "Sister Xiaoqian, let's go. I, Su Liyang, will definitely keep what I said, don't worry."
Xiaoqian blushed with embarrassment at being pulled by him, while Princess Yongping stomped her feet in anger.
"Humph, Su Liyang, I don't believe you dare to resist the decree? Now that I'm here, I won't leave easily."
But Su Liyang and Xiaoqian could no longer hear her words. They held hands and went back to the room to whisper.
After all, the peaceful days in the palace did not last long, because the plague in the capital had begun to spread. Although Su Muer's newly developed prescription was effective, the medicine was taken away overnight, resulting in a shortage of medicine. These seriously ill patients
The condition is getting worse.
Su Muer and Ye Shihan walked on the empty streets of the capital wearing homemade masks.
The capital city was extremely quiet at this time, and no one dared to go out for fear of being infected by the plague.
Su Muer sighed softly,
"Now the medicinal materials for treating tuberculosis have been sold out at high prices overnight. Does the prince think this is a coincidence or someone did it deliberately?"
Ye Shihan's dark face was covered with black lines, his brows were furrowed, and his sharp eyes were staring ahead. He leaned his forehead forward and spoke slowly,
"This matter has nothing to do with the Changping Kingdom. Since they can create tuberculosis across the country, they naturally want the Eastern Jin Kingdom to fall completely. They want to seize the opportunity to invade. Their wishful thinking is very good.
, this soft knife can be used really hard."
Su Mu'er's moist eyes were also full of dark color. She finally developed a prescription to treat tuberculosis, but she couldn't find the medicinal ingredients. How could she not be annoyed?
Seeing her ugly face, Ye Shihan directly took her hand and held it in his palm, and said helplessly as he moved forward,
"Mu'er, I really don't know if you and I can get through this difficulty smoothly. If this incident can be resolved smoothly, I decide to take you to resign. We will find a quiet place and live a leisurely life.
I don’t want you to be too tired during the day.”
Su Mu'er looked at him sideways and nodded heavily, "Okay, I will accompany you the rest of the way."
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Shihan suddenly covered his mouth and coughed lightly. She frowned slightly. She was about to ask him if he had caught the cold, but she found blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
She looked at him in horror, "Shihan, you..."
Ye Shihan saw blood stains on the palm of his hand that he had just covered his mouth. He suddenly pushed her away and looked at her with horrified eyes.
"Stay away from me, don't come near me, don't come near me."
Su Muer's eyes suddenly turned red. She never expected that Ye Shihan would also contract tuberculosis and cough up blood. This was a sign of severe tuberculosis, which meant that Ye Shihan had been suffering from the disease for more than three to five days.
"Shihan, don't be nervous. Although you may have contracted tuberculosis, I will find a way to cure you. Don't be nervous."
"do not come."
Ye Shihan covered his mouth with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to block her half a foot away.
"Don't come here. I've already contracted the plague. You can't catch it again, otherwise the Eastern Jin Kingdom will really be over."
"Shihan, I'm going to ask Liu Hai to arrange a separate room for you."
"Need not."
Ye Shihan waved his hand directly, "I'm going to Tingyu Pavilion now. It's been empty for a long time. I'm going to stay there. Don't come. Don't come. You have to remember that the Eastern Jin Dynasty cannot live without you. You can go to the palace and explain to the emperor later.
Regarding this matter, I also need to tell Liu Hai and Bai Chen that they should take care of all matters in the military camp. If one day I can recover from my illness..."
He paused for a moment as he seemed to realize that the chances of his recovery were slim.
In order not to worry him, Su Muer nodded heavily,
"Don't worry, Mr. Xian, I will take care of everything. Now you go to Tingyuge and I will find a way to get the medicine for you. Then I will order someone to deliver it to you, but you must remember to get more sunshine.
You can’t give up on yourself, and you can’t give up on treatment, you know?”
Ye Shihan looked at her and suddenly grinned bitterly. He stretched out his hand to her, but took it back heavily.
At this time, he wished that none of this had ever happened, and he wanted to hold her in his arms, but he could only put down his hand helplessly. She was not sure if he would have a chance to get close to her in the future. Maybe this parting would become
Forever.
His heart was so painful that Su Muer's heart ached too.
She watched helplessly as his figure gradually disappeared from in front of her until he was no longer visible.
She stood helplessly on this deserted street. She never thought that Ye Shihan, who had always been strong and healthy, would be infected. Her heart was completely hollowed out at this time, and she felt at a loss.
She didn't know how she walked back to the palace. She only knew that the sound of bangs started to sound when she entered the palace.
"Princess, there are more than 100 seriously ill patients in the capital today, and more than 30 people have died."
"Princess, there are seriously ill patients and dead patients in other cities."
"Princess, there is a shortage of medicinal materials across the country. If we don't find a way soon, I'm afraid the Eastern Jin Kingdom will really be destroyed."
"Princess, the emperor just came to send a message, asking the princess to come to the palace to see you..."
"..."
Su Mu'er seemed to have heard these words, as if she was in a dream. She felt that these words seemed to be ringing in the distant sky. She felt that her feet were sore and weak, and her whole body was weak.
When she returned to the room, she fell directly on the bed. Although her mind was still clear, her body could not move.
Could it be that she was also infected with tuberculosis? She was suddenly a little scared. She was not afraid of catching the disease. She was afraid that if she got sick, no one would take care of the infected people. People around her might also be infected, including her children. He was still afraid.
At such a young age, if he contracts this disease, he will be ill for the rest of his life.
Thinking of this, tears fell silently down her cheeks, and this was one of the few fears that filled her heart since she traveled here.
She didn't know how long she had been lying in bed. When she woke up again, she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Yuanyuan using a towel to ice her forehead. Seeing her open her eyes, Xiao Yuanyuan let out a long sigh of relief.
"You finally woke up. When Liu Ye came to see me, I was so frightened that I thought you were also infected by the plague."
Su Mu'er frowned and glanced at her, then asked feebly:
"How long have I been asleep?"
"Three days."
Xiao Yuanyuan stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of her eyes, "You slept for three whole days."
Three days?
Su Mu'er was a little surprised, how could she sleep for so long?
She only remembered that she had a long dream. In the dream, she went to a very big forest. There were many medicinal materials she needed there. They were all what she wanted, including Humulus, Baibu, etc.
Bletilla striata, and prunella vulgaris, she was a little surprised. Why did so many medicinal materials appear in her dream? And she collected many such medicinal materials in the mountains. Could this structure indicate something?
"Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Yuanyuan raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "If you don't wake up, the emperor will be anxious to death. He sends people to ask three times a day."
emperor?
Seeing that she wanted to sit up, Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly went to help her, "I don't know what happened to you. You slept for three days and couldn't wake up no matter how you woke up. We were all worried to death. The prince also suddenly disappeared. The emperor was said to be furious because of this.
If your body is almost recovered, you can go to the palace and have a look."
When she mentioned Ye Shihan, she suddenly remembered. Yes, when he moved into Tingyuge, he specifically asked her to inform the emperor. Also, she had slept for three days. What should he do if he was alone in Tingyu Pavilion?
Will he be hungry? How is he doing without medicine?
Thinking of this, she felt scratching her head and head all over. She should not have slept for the past three days.
She stood up quickly. Seeing this, Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly came over to help her.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Tingyuge. The prince is there."
"Why is the prince there? What is he doing there?"
Xiao Yuanyuan looked at her with confusion, "Liu Hai has been looking for the prince these days, and you are unconscious. He is afraid that something will happen to the prince."
Su Muer bit her lip and frowned:
"The prince was infected with the plague. He took the initiative to live alone in Tingyu Pavilion. Why did I just sleep for three days? I didn't see him for three days. I don't know how he is or whether he has eaten.
Rice, are you feeling seriously ill? How can I fall asleep?"
She blamed herself very much, Xiao Yuanyuan hurriedly comforted her,
"Don't worry, you're not asleep. You must be too tired and your body can't hold it anymore. Otherwise, how could a person sleep for three days? And if you don't eat or drink, you won't be thirsty or hungry when you wake up."
This sentence made Su Muer stop preparing to go out. Yes, how could she sleep for three days? Her sleep was very light, and she could almost go to bed early and get up early. This inexplicable three days of sleep must be
Is there any reason.
what is the reason behind the scene?
A picture suddenly appeared in her mind. She was sitting in the woods. There was a clear stream there. There was a pot beside the stream. What was cooked in the pot was not food or drink, but medicinal materials...
Medicinal materials?
Suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and the medicinal ingredients that appeared in the dream appeared in her mind, as well as the pot of medicinal ingredients that was boiling.
She thought about it.
It turned out that although her body had been sleeping soundly for the past three days, her soul had done things she wanted to do but had not yet had the chance to do.
That is a new prescription for treating tuberculosis, and it is completely different from the previous ones.
There is also that big mountain. If her guess is correct, that big mountain is not far from Sujiazhuang. She has also seen the creek.
Could this dream mean that the medicinal materials she wants can be found there? Moreover, the medicinal materials that appear in the dream are not common and can rarely be purchased in ordinary pharmacies. If they really appear on the mountain, they must be able to collect them, because ordinary medicines can be found there.
The herb collectors did not know these herbs at all.
Thinking of this, she looked at Xiao Yuanyuan with excitement, and then said:
"Yuanyuan, I think I have found a prescription that can cure this disease."
"Really?"
Xiao Yuanyuan looked at her very excitedly, "Have you really found it? That's great. Go and see the prince, and then go to the palace. The emperor knows that you are awake, and he must be eager to see you.
, the prince cannot be found, and you are unconscious again. The emperor is now at a loss."
Listening to Xiao Yuanyuan's words, Su Muer nodded heavily,
"Okay, I'll go now. I'll be very busy these days. Please help me take care of the house."
"Don't worry, I've brought Xin'er with me, and Biaozi. He's also in the palace. If you need anything, just give me instructions."
"I understand, I'm leaving first."
Su Mu'er left the room as she spoke. She went to the kitchen to get some pastries, and asked the doorkeeper to prepare a horse for her before hurried to Tingyu Pavilion.
She is the only one who knows that Ye Shihan lives here, so no one would think of giving him food, and they don't know if he has been hungry these days.
Thinking of this, she became extremely anxious and the horse rode faster.
This familiar alley was extremely quiet at the moment. She tied her horse at the door of Tingyu Pavilion and then went up and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, no one answered. She was a little anxious. Could something have happened to Ye Shihan?
Just as she was about to go around to the backyard and climb over the wall, a familiar voice came from the gate.
"who?"
"Shihan, it's me, I'm sorry, I'm late."
There was silence for a while, and then Ye Shihan's voice sounded again, "Mu'er, didn't I tell you not to come to me? Why did I come anyway?"
"Shihan, I'm sorry, I haven't come to see you for three days. Are you hungry? I brought you something to eat. Please open the door."
"No." Ye Shihan refused directly, "I don't need you to send food. I have everything to eat here, cough cough cough... you can go back, cough cough cough..."
Listening to his coughing, Su Muer's heart rose to her throat. He must be seriously ill.
"Shihan, please open the door."
"You go quickly."
Ye Shihan's voice suddenly rose, "I have been infected with the plague, you can't let anything happen to you again, please leave quickly and leave me alone."
"Shihan..."
"Mu'er, please, leave quickly and leave me alone. I'm really afraid that you will be infected with the plague. If that happens, I will be worse off than dead. If you really feel sorry for me, leave quickly.
Doudou needs you, Ziru needs you, the palace needs you, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty also needs you, so don’t take any more risks."
"Shihan..."
Tears suddenly fell down her cheeks. She was really afraid of losing him. She couldn't imagine what she would do without him.
"Muer, put the food at the door, and then leave immediately. If I see you again when I open the door, I will hide in this door for the rest of my life and never see you again."
Although his words were decisive, they were also full of helplessness.
Su Muer knew that he was doing it for her own good. Although she was worried about him and wanted to see him, she should also be more sensible.
So she pursed her lips and nodded,
"Okay, I'll put the cakes at the door. You can come out and get them later. I'm going back first. I want to go to the palace. The emperor has something to tell me. I think I have also found the medicine to treat this disease. I will go out later.
Come on, go collect the medicinal materials yourself, and you must wait for me to come back."
"Mu'er, let Liu Hai take the people there. Don't go there yourself."
"No, these medicinal materials are not common, and they are easily confused with other medicinal materials. I have to go there in person. I don't know how many days I will be able to come back. During the few days I am away, I will tell Xiao Yuanyuan to bring you food.
And the maintenance medicine, you must wait until I come back, do you know?"
Her heart ached when she said this, and she was very scared. She was afraid that something might happen to him in the next few days. This disease was very scary after all.
Ye Shihan pondered for a moment in the door, his eyes were a little red. His current physical condition was very poor. It was not that there was no food in Tingyu Pavilion, but he couldn't eat it at all. He was trying hard not to make a coughing sound just now.
