With the permission of the imperial doctor, Xia Yao put on thick white clothes, put her whole person inside, and walked into the inner room with a handkerchief covering her mouth and nose.

As soon as she pushed the door open, Xia Yao saw a little maid about sixteen or seventeen years old who was staying in the corner of the wall and shivering, as if she didn't expect someone to come in at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly knelt on the ground to salute.

Xia Yao stared at her for a while, opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

The mortality rate of smallpox in ancient times was much higher than in modern times, and even Xuanyuan Luo, who was a prince, did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out of this room alive, let alone a humble maidservant? Once infected, I'm afraid it's just a matter of being locked in the cellar and waiting to die.

But when Xia Yao walked next to Xuanyuan Luo, she couldn't help but get angry.

I saw that he was covering a thin life at this time, his face was flushed, his whole body trembled slightly, and there was a puddle of vomit at the head of the bed that exuded a bad smell. How could someone with smallpox not pay attention to cleanliness? Isn't this looking for death?

Xia Yao scolded sharply: "What about the people who are waiting? Where have they gone? ”

The little maid walked through the screen, tremblingly walked to the front of the screen, looked at the dirty things on the ground, her face turned pale in an instant, she kowtowed a few times, "The slave maid will clean up immediately." ”

As if hearing a sound, Xuanyuan Luo slowly opened his eyes, he looked at Xia Yao in front of him, and thought he was dreaming, and shouted in a daze: "Yao'er." ”

His lips were so dry that even the words he said were gentle, as if they were going to disappear in the next second, Xia Yao was depressed when she listened, she picked up the teapot at the bedside and wanted to pour him a glass of water to moisten his lips, but found that there was not a drop of water in it.

"Go boil some water." Xia Yao commanded. The little maid was cleaning up the vomit on the ground, and as soon as she heard Xia Yao's words, she hurriedly put down the rag in her hand and prepared to boil water.

Seeing this, Xia Yao couldn't help but ask, "Why are you alone, and the other people who are waiting?" ”

The little maid was speechless, and looked at Xia Yao pitifully.

Presumably because other people were afraid of being infected, they pushed all the work to the maid in front of them, Xia Yao sneered, "Go and call everyone over, if you don't come today, you won't use it in the future." ”

"Yes." The little maid didn't dare to say more, but she was relieved in her heart.

Xuanyuan Luo's illness came suddenly, and these slaves, who were not very loyal, saw this and hurriedly tried to escape from this house, even if they went out to sweep the yard, it was a little hard and tiring, it was not like this, and they died if they were not careful.

"Xia Yao?" Xuanyuan Luo on the bed seemed to have completely sobered up, he frowned, as if he had seen something terrifying, and said in a hoarse voice: "Why did you come here, get out quickly, get out quickly......"

Xia Yao soothed: "I just want to come and see you, don't worry." ”

"Do you know what you're doing?" Xuanyuan Luo grimaced, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, "Now, let me out immediately." ”

"Poof!" Knowing that the time was not right, Xia Yao couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you say that if you were going to die, you would kill me, and then we would live in a tomb?" ”

Xia Yao suddenly held Xuanyuan Luo's hand, "Why do you want to drive me out now that I took the initiative to come in to accompany you." ”

The moment Xuanyuan Luo was held by her, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, glared at her and said, "The girl's family should be reserved, how can the hand of a foreign man be touched casually." ”

I don't know why, seeing him like this, Xia Yao's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she felt as if she had drunk a bowl of cold sour plum soup in the summer, and the whole person was appeased.

"Get out of here." Xuanyuan Luo's voice suddenly withered, "You are not allowed to come in again." ”

He thought, he was still too arrogant, thinking that he had mastered a qiē, but he couldn't avoid the natural disaster**.

It just so happened that at this time, the maid who had gone out before brought in all the people who were waiting, Xia Yao touched Xuanyuan Luo's sweaty forehead with her nails, and said, "I'll go out and make arrangements, you wait." ”

Xuanyuan Luo is also a prince, and there are not many people who serve him, and there are almost twenty men and women combined.

Xia Yao looked at everyone with sharp eyes, and everyone felt her burning gaze, and subconsciously took half a step back.

"This is how you used to serve your masters." Xia Yao retracted her gaze and said coldly: "The master is sick inside, but you ran out to be happy, and you just took the deed of sale and killed them." ”

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened and kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Please be merciful to Miss and spare me to wait!" We were also confused, and we were frightened for a while, and we didn't dare anymore. ”

After half a ring, everyone's foreheads were broken, and Xia Yao spoke up, "You have to remember that your life is in the hands of your master, do you want to die now, or do you serve people well, take good precautions, who said that you will definitely be infected?" ”

"Yes, yes...... Miss is right......" Everyone hurriedly nodded yes.

"That's not a quick action, the next room can't be cut off for twelve hours a day, let three people take turns watching it for me, the Fifth Highness must wipe his body once a day, and the bedding on the bed or something will be changed for me once every two days......"

"In the same way, I won't let you go to death...... Xia Yao calmly arranged things, "As long as you have served His Highness, remember to take a hot shower and change clothes in the next room when you leave, and I will ask the Tai Hospital to open a list, and you will drink a bowl every day when you go to work and leave." ”

"The clothes you have worn, as well as the bed sheets and quilt covers of Your Highness, wrap them all in a large sheet, take them to the garden behind you and burn them, remember, you must burn them cleanly, and no scum is allowed to be left."

"Miss is merciful...... Thank you, Miss......" As soon as everyone heard that there was medicine to drink, the pressure in their hearts was suddenly reduced a lot.

Whether the medicine works or not, it is always a consolation.

No one knew that Xia Yao's palms were now full of cold sweat, and in order to prevent herself from showing her timidity, Xia Yao's face was paralyzed the whole time.

When she walked back to Xuanyuan Luo's bedside, Xia Yao felt that her face was a little stiff.

Xuanyuan Luo listened to Xia Yao's arrangement clearly, he felt that his heart was hot, and even the original headache felt a lot better. Seeing Xia Yao coming in again, he felt his nose sour, and couldn't help but scold: "Why are you coming in again!" Want to die? Now that everything is arranged, let's get out quickly! It's just that the weak, hoarse voice really has no deterrent effect.

Xia Yao smiled and said, "The courtiers are here to bury you in accordance with His Royal Highness's original words!" ”

Xuanyuan Luo stared at her for a few seconds, then quickly turned his head and stayed on the big red quilt, "No need, you...... Let's go! He said it with great difficulty, "but ...... It's just a joke, it's just a joke!! ”

How he wished that this man could stay here with him, and he was afraid to go into the cold grave alone.

He thought - he would get through it.

He always got through it.

But she is different, she looks so squeamish, she can vomit for a long time when she sees a dead person, and she trembles with fright!

What if she gets infected and can't get through it?

Xia Yao saw that he had a tough attitude, and she didn't insist, she was here to take a look, she would do a favor if she could, but she didn't come to make trouble for others, "Please Your Highness take care of your illness, the courtiers are outside-waiting for you to come out." ”

Xuanyuan Luo didn't answer, until Xia Yao left and disappeared, he suddenly said to himself: "Okay." ”

Xia Yao came to the outer room, the eldest princess was still crying, she couldn't help but comfort: "Your Highness will be fine." ”

At this time, the eldest princess was like a childish child, she opened her eyes wide, and her eyes were red and she asked, "Really." ”

"Really," Xia Yao affirmed, I don't know if it was for the eldest princess or for herself, "His Royal Highness has survived so many times before, and I believe that this time, he will definitely get better." ”

When she left the yard, the chrysanthemums that filled the yard made Xia Yao more and more uncomfortable, but in the end, it was someone else's place, and she didn't say much.

At the same time, as Xuanyuan Luo's condition worsened, while everyone's attention was focused on this side, the Criminal Department was still investigating in a hurry.

As the interrogation intensified, Imperial Physician Gong finally couldn't help but confess, claiming that he had done it according to the orders of the deceased queen mother.

It is about the mother of a country, and the people in the criminal department did not dare to be sloppy, so they immediately asked for orders to go to the emperor.

"Oh?" Xuanyuan Ao sat on the main seat, looking at the squire of the criminal department who reported below, and had a feeling of ridicule, "You said this is related to the queen?" ”

"After the interrogation, Imperial Physician Gong has confessed, saying that it was the queen mother who caused him to do it at this time, and the evidence was hidden by him under the corner of the back garden of the queen mother's palace." The waiter of the criminal department said with a glance.

"I see." Xuanyuan Ao picked up the fold at hand and continued to look at it, "Go!" You can check it as you want. ”

"Yes." The waiter of the Criminal Department saluted respectfully, "Retire from your humble position." ”

Until the waiter of the Criminal Department left the study, Xuanyuan Ao couldn't help but sigh, "This Criminal Department is getting worse and worse!" With that, he irritably threw aside the fold in his hand.

Last night, Xuanyuan had a dream.

He dreamed of the woman he had put so heavily in his heart, and at first, the dream was so beautiful, that the two of them rode together and hunted together, so that he couldn't help but hook his lips in his sleep.

But later, in just a blink of an eye, the delicate girl became a cold and hard corpse.

He didn't even see her for the last time.

"Let's go see him!" Xuanyuan Ao hesitated for a moment, and decided to go and see his seriously ill 'son'.

As time passed, Xuanyuan Luo's smallpox became more and more severe, and his face and body were all covered with red rashes, and after a while, these rashes would suppurate inside, and then turn into disgusting blisters.

At this time, Xia Yao entered the house again to accompany Xuanyuan Luo.

It seems that because of the company, Xuanyuan Luo's spirit has improved a lot, but he covered his face and turned sideways, refusing to let Xia Yao see him.

Xia Yao was coaxing him, "Manly man, what are the multiple scars on his face, come on...... Turn your head and let me see. ”
