“… Why are you here?"

Xia Mingche fell asleep for a long time, and his voice was low and a little hoarse, but it made Xiao Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

When she first arrived in Quanzhou a few days ago, he was still dazed, even she didn't recognize her, she was asleep a lot, sometimes even if her eyes were open, she was mostly delirious, and now she can call her name so clearly, she can finally put her mind at ease.

She fed him minced meat with a spoon, and said softly: "I'll take you back to Yunfu, the plague here in Fujian is very dangerous, and your life was saved by Jian Anli after exhausting his methods, it just so happened that the four princes were also sick, and the emperor sent someone to treat the plague, and when the condition of the four princes improved, we set off to go back." ”

Xia Mingche was stunned for a moment, how could the fourth prince also be infected with the epidemic? He had obviously sacrificed his life to save him before, he shouldn't have been so careless.

And if you return to Yunfu at this time, I am afraid that the fortifications here in Fujian will be delayed, and it doesn't matter if the fortifications are delayed, the important thing is that he and the four princes found out that Fujian is greedy for ink, if he doesn't make the things on the embankment clear, I'm afraid that Qin Bohou will not give in, just looking at Qin Bohou's tiger-eyed appearance these days, his brain will hurt.

"Is the fourth prince sick? I want to see him. Xia Mingche propped up his body and wanted to walk on the ground.

Xiao Qing stopped him, and his expression became displeased: "Why don't you take care of your body like this?" The fourth prince has a high fever now, which is very similar to your previous symptoms, Jian Anli is thinking about diagnosing and treating his symptoms, you are just a little better, this time has passed, I am afraid that I will be infected with the epidemic again, and Jian Anli will not be able to save you again at that time!"

The tone was very bad, Xia Mingche raised his head, looked at her eyes red, as if she had stayed up all night, and her spirit didn't look very good, she couldn't help but feel moved, could it be that she had been guarding him like this?

He coughed lightly and asked softly, "Have I been asleep for a long time?"

Xiao Qing said a little angrily: "I have been here for three days, and you have been in a faint for three days, you said that it will be a long time? I thought that you didn't want to see me, so you opened your eyes and ignored me..."

"No," Xia Mingche held her wrist holding the white porcelain bowl, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I won't ignore you, I didn't expect this disease to be so bad." ”

One sentence made Xiao Qing's face immediately rise with a hot feeling, she secretly glanced at Xia Mingche, although the young man had just woken up, he was still as elegant as usual, and the corners of his smiling mouth were gentle and harmless, but it made her heart jump in a panic.

She flattened her mouth and moved her eyes to the past, not wanting to tell him how she had spent the past three days, how she was frightened, for fear that he would burn out his brain and not recognize herself in the future.

She gently stirred the bowl of minced meat in her hand, her mind was soft, and after thinking about it for a few times, she turned to the side matter, "The plague in Quanzhou has spread, and now it is impossible to control it by relying on Jian Anli and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital alone, Qin Bohou is afraid that he will use the army to suppress it, and now he will wait for the fourth prince to get better, at least he can support him out of Quanzhou." ”

Xia Mingche swallowed the minced meat in his mouth, the black and white pupils turned a few times, and raised to look at her, "What about Lord Xie? and Lord Zhang Ruiqing are okay?"

Xiao Qing nodded, "Lord Zhang and Lord Xie are not infected with the epidemic, they are fine, but they have been busy treating the water these days, it just rained a few days ago, and the flood is a little stricter than before, and he is also busy these days and can't see anyone all day." ”

Xia Mingche was silent, and it wasn't until a bowl of minced meat was in his stomach that he said, "I want to trouble you with something, I wonder if you have time?"

Seeing him so solemn, Xiao Qing hurriedly said: "It's self-contained, but your body needs to be recuperated, I'm afraid that others won't care...... Unconsciously said the worry in her heart, her face blushed for a moment, and she quickly added, "What's the matter?"

Xia Mingche saw that her face was flushed, smiled, and said in a low voice: "I'll write a handwritten letter in a while, you bring it to Zhang Ruiqing tomorrow, since I can't do some political affairs, I have to hand them over to someone who can do them," Speaking of this, his eyes raised and looked at her quietly, "However, before that, you have to have a good rest, I don't want me to get better just now, but you are sick, then I really can't do anything at that time, you can also see that my body is weak now, and I am powerless to you." ”

Xiao Qing heard the sentence in front of him, knew that it was an important matter, and hurriedly stood up to find pen and ink, just halfway through the action, the second half of the sentence was heard in his ears, and his ears were red with shame, and he turned his head and glared at him angrily, "You... Flim Flam!"

Throwing down such a sentence, she walked out of the room with the white porcelain bowl in her arms, until the door was closed, and her heart was still beating in a panic.

……

Zhang Ruiqing was busy for a day, and finally dragged back to his residence after a lot of fatigue when it was dark.

The subordinate hurriedly greeted him, took off his already wet clothes, received it, took a clean underwear and put it on for him, and kept talking: "Uncle has worked hard, the steward of Qin Bohou's Mansion has come over today to leave a post, saying that if you come back, you must take a look, and the other is that the situation on the other side of the four princes has temporarily stabilized, but at this time, the four princes' bodies are still weak and tight, and the people from the hospital sent a message back, saying that it will take a few days to be sure." ”

Zhang Ruiqing nodded, the subordinates were all brought from Yunfu, and they were the guards who served him since he was a child, and if anything was handed over to them, they would be very concerned, so it seemed that the illness of the fourth prince was really serious.

He loosened his nerves that had been loosened for a day, and after a simple wash in the clean room, he sat on the chair next to the desk, picked up the post placed next to the desk, and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he sighed in his heart, and gently tapped the paperweight in the shape of a jade lion carved with topaz between his fingers.

The fourth prince is also smart enough to get sick at this juncture, and threw this mess to him and Xie Jianning, but he himself fell into a good reputation for the epidemic because of his heart.

If the flood and plague in Quanzhou continue to spread like this, I am afraid that the emperor will be the first to investigate his head, and by the way, he will also implicate the Xia family, the new Tanhualang, but it is a pity that Xia Xiaolangjun is such a wise and elegant character. If you fold your future in this matter, I'm afraid that you will have to sit on the cold bench in the future.

He settled down, read the post again, and laughed in his heart, Qin Bohou finally couldn't bear it, but unfortunately the things were not in his hands, but in the hands of that person, even if he was in a hurry, it was useless.
