52 Chapter 52
Xuanyuan Ming and the crown prince came with great ambitions, but as soon as they arrived at the place, they both fell ill and lay on the bed in a cold sweat.
The Tai Doctor has a pulse, and his heart is not good, which is the same symptom as the person who is sick outside.
Li Wenhan, Xuanyuan Luo...... They came together to inquire about the situation, and the doctors had now determined that the sick people outside were infected with the epidemic.
As a result, as soon as they were diagnosed, the crown prince and the fourth prince fell ill together.
What a bad deed!
Li Wenhan frowned tightly and said, "Now we have to quickly isolate the sick people." β
"Hmm!" Xuanyuan Luo nodded, and he said, "This matter is without further ado, you should act quickly." β
"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Li Shangshu frowned and said, "I'll write a letter to the emperor quickly, and ask the emperor to send a few more capable imperial doctors." β
Here, the prince and Xuanyuan Ming were isolated, and the Fu Yin over there arranged the sick people together with the guards, and some of the people who lived in their own homes were also forcefully pulled over by them.
At this time, the state capital, which had gradually become lively because of the snowstorm, became panicked again.
When Xia Yao learned the news, it was still the next day, and Xuanyuan Luo had dinner with her, and she wanted to say something several times, but she still didn't say anything.
Fortunately, after Huang Ming came back from the old man's place the next day, he carefully mentioned the matter, she said, "Miss, there has been some unrest outside recently?" β
Xia Yao was already skeptical of Xuanyuan Luo's previous words, but now Huang Ming spoke, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" What's going on out there? β
"The slave maid found out outside, and those who were infected with the wind and cold before were taken away......" Huang Ming's face was full of worry, "Miss...... You say it'......"
Stringing together the previous events in his mind one by one, Xia Yao suddenly remembered two words - the epidemic.
No wonder the princes were sick yesterday but Xuanyuan Luo didn't let her go, no wonder he was stumbling lately, and he had something hard to say, but he asked her not to go out......
Thinking of it, a nameless fire rose in Xia Yao's heart. Is she so distrustful of him? She still heard about such an important thing from others.
"It's fine." Xia Yao smiled reluctantly and said comfortingly: "Huang Ming, don't go out recently, I'll ask His Royal Highness what's going on at noon?" Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still had to ask about the specific situation.
At noon that day, Xia Yao waited until the food was cold, and she didn't wait for Xuanyuan Luo, she endured her irritability and continued to stay in the bedroom for a while, and finally couldn't sit still, she said, "Let's go, let's go and see what the Fifth Highness is busy with?" There was an indescribable coldness in his words.
"Miss......" Lu'er saw her master lose such a big temper for the first time, and timidly persuaded: "Your Royal Highness is busy, so it's better to talk about it at night." Besides, this place is so big, where are you going to find him now! β
Huang Ming secretly pulled Lu'er from behind, glanced at her, and whispered, "You talk a lot." β
Lu'er looked at Huang Ming in a daze, and then at Xia Yao with a straight face, silently took a step back and closed her mouth!
"You're right." Xia Yao suddenly sighed, and her whole body became depressed, "Where should I go to find him?" "A Yezhou is so big, and Xuanyuan Luo is a prince, and his departure is naturally properly protected.

Evening β
Xuanyuan Luo, who was tired for a day, came to Xia Yao's residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he noticed the resentment in the room.
He smiled calmly, sat next to Xia Yao, and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't dinner to your liking? β
"I want to ask......" Xia Yao was sitting precariously with unconcealed worry in her eyes, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what happened to their illness?" β
Xuanyuan Luo's hand holding the chopsticks trembled, but his face was relaxed, "It's just that I'm tired on the road and infected with the cold, just rest for a few days." β
"Really?" Xia Yao asked rhetorically.
"Or else?" Xuanyuan Luo asked rhetorically.
"Alas!" Xia Yao sighed helplessly, she waved her hand and drove all of them out.
As soon as the others left, Xia Yao sank his face, looked at Xuanyuan Luo and said bitterly: "I thought there was no secret between us, the lie was covered up for a while, but it couldn't be covered up for a lifetime, and paper always couldn't contain fire." β
"You got it." Xuanyuan Luo put down the chopsticks in his hand and frowned, "Who told you." β
"You can always guess your big moves." Xia Yao rolled her eyes, Xuanyuan Luo's question was not despising her IQ.
"I'll admit that I didn't do it right." As soon as the matter was exposed, Xuanyuan Luo simply admitted his mistake, and then he explained: "Aren't I afraid that you will worry? β
Xia Yao's anger that had endured for a day suddenly burst out, and he roared angrily: "Since the incident has happened, you should tell me that you can't cover up your selfishness under the pretext of being good for me." β
This was a serious matter, Xuanyuan Luo saw that Xia Yao was angry, knew that what she said was angry, and did not argue with her, and said with a pleasant face: "I was wrong about this matter, forgive me!" β
His appearance is excellent, obviously as a prince, he flatters her in such a low voice, and then continues to ask, as if she is unreasonable.
This made Xia Yao feel as if her fist had hit cotton, and her heart became more and more aggrieved.
She got up and went to the bedroom, and as she went, she said angrily, "I won't ask, I won't ask again." β
Xuanyuan Luo was stunned, this is different from what he said!
He hurriedly caught up with Xia Yao, hugged her, rubbed his chin against her shoulder socket, and said softly: "There is something wrong with me, you have to tell me, so that I won't do it again next time, right?" β
Xia Yao struggled twice in his arms, making Xuanyuan Luo's hug tighter and tighter.
Xuanyuan Luo was still comforting her in a low voice, she sulked alone for a while, and when the little anger in her heart disappeared, Xia Yao couldn't help but feel that she had gone too far.
She blinked, felt his scorching body temperature, and suddenly blushed, and said awkwardly, "Hmm...... This thing...... I also...... Something is wrong...... I just ......," she muttered for a long time, finally getting those three words out of her mouth, "...... I'm sorry! β
Xuanyuan Luo smiled, turned her whole body over, faced her, and said with a smile: "It's me who is wrong, why do you apologize." β
"There's something wrong with me about it." Xia Yao retorted: "I said something excessive, I was too extreme, and I should apologize for what I said." β
Her eyes were bulging, round, and she looked like a tsundere. Obviously said apologetic words in his mouth, but his expression seemed to be saying - you rob me again, beware of me biting you to death!
The cute Xuanyuan Luo's heart trembled, and he followed her words and said, "Okay, good! I forgive you. β
Xia Yao couldn't help but burst into a big smile.
"Then ......," Xuanyuan Luo said sincerely, "should you forgive me now?" β
"Ahem...... Xia Yao pretended to cough twice, and said generously: "Then I'll forgive you." β
"Okay." Xuanyuan Luo bit Xia Yao's ear.
After that, the two continued to talk, and Xia Yao learned that although there are no cured people of the epidemic, fortunately, there are not many people who have this disease.
Now the most tricky thing is the prince and Xuanyuan Ming, if they die of illness in this place, no matter what, Xuanyuan Luo and they will not be able to escape punishment.
"I can ......" Xia Yao hesitated for a moment, and before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xuanyuan Luo.
"Nope." He refused forcefully: "I know what you want to say, but what about the presence of the Imperial Doctor?" Why are you in a hurry? β
Xia Yao said, "But I want to help you!" β
Xuanyuan Luo smiled and kissed her cheek, and whispered in her ear, "You are good, you have helped me the most." β
"You're here......" he stretched out his right hand and brushed the sideburns in her ear, "I feel like I can do anything." β
Xia Yao's face was flushed, and she shouted in her heart - this love talk skill, you foul, you foul.
But in fact, she could only step back with her hands and feet, and stammered: "It's not too early...... Shall we rest early? β
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Luo touched his chin and continued to tease: "Yao'er, is this inviting her husband?" In that case...... he pretended to be embarrassed, "and it is better to be respectful to the husband than to obey his fate." β
"You get out of ......" Xia Yao let out a roar and slammed the door of the cubicle shut.
He stood in place and said to himself, "Miss Xia, who is petted and delicate, why can't people be angry?" β
If someone else had a temper tantrum and yelled at him today, Xuanyuan Luo would not have bothered to explain at all, let alone abandon his dignity as a prince to apologize. But this person has become the tip of his heart, and everything is so natural.
"Forget it...... Regulus shrugged and walked outside, "It's not the first time anyway." β
If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three...... In this world, there is always a person who kills you, but you are willing to eat it.

Xia Yao listened to Xuanyuan Luo's words and stayed quietly in the courtyard until one afternoon, Li Wenhan came over.
The last time the two met, the sky was dark, and she could only roughly look at the outline, but now when she looked at it, she found that Li Wenhan and Xuanyuan Luo were very similar in their eyebrows and eyes, but they were at least one meter and eight meters tall, which was about the same as Li Zongru.
He smiled gracefully and his attitude was extremely respectful, "There is a reluctant request below, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, she was spoiled by Xuanyuan Luo, and she especially wanted to reply-since she knew that it was a reluctant invitation, then don't say it. But the person in front of her is Xuanyuan Luo's cousin, and she has to give him a little thin noodles.
"I don't know what is the matter with Lord Yin? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Xia Yao smiled lightly.
"This ......" he looked left and right, and said vaguely, "It's better to ......"
"Hmm." Xia Yao nodded, and said to the maid waiting below, "You all go down!" β
"Yes." Except for Lu'er and Huang Ming, the rest of the maids retreated in turn.
As soon as Li Wenhan saw it, he knew that the rest of the people were Xia Yao's henchmen. He breathed a sigh of relief and let him stay with Xia Yao alone, he still had some words in his heart. Now that there are two more people, he has calmed down a lot.
He took out a letter and a piece of jade from his cuffs, handed them to Xia Yao, and said, "Everything you want to say is here......
"Hmm." Xia Yao nodded calmly and received the letter in her arms.
"There are still a lot of official things to do, so I won't delay Miss Xia's time here." Seeing Xia Yao accept the things, Li Wenhan stepped back with a smile and said, "Take a step to leave." β
"What did Lord Fu Yin say?" Xia Yao also said beautiful words in her mouth, "What is the delay or not, my lord, you have every opportunity, it is naturally excellent to be able to take the time to come to my side to drink tea." β
Li Wenhan was thoughtful, and when he said a word, he had to turn around more than ten times in his heart, and when Xia Yao heard this, his taste suddenly changed - she was blaming herself, the master, for not accompanying her and not giving her face!
He shouted in his heart, isn't this Xuanyuan Luo not allowing him to come?
Li Wenhan looked at death as if he were at home, "It's ...... I will definitely come back often in the future. "It's great to be wearing small shoes if you don't give Xuanyuan Luo face, but if you don't give Xia Yao face, he doesn't want to get up in the morning and be buried by the snow!!
Xia Yao looked confused, "............, what's wrong?"
After that, Li Wenhan came to Xia Yao's side every day to report, and he was more punctual than the sun, until Xia Yao couldn't bear to give him an eviction order, and he left happily.
Xia Yao touched the letter, and when she got to the bedroom, she took it out and looked at it.
Li Wenhan wrote a good-looking line, there are some traditional Chinese characters in it, Xia Yao didn't understand it very well, but fortunately, she even guessed it in combination with the context.
It turned out that the medicine for the treatment of the epidemic has not been prepared yet, and two more people have died in the past few days.
It will take at least ten days for the imperial doctor from the capital to arrive, but unfortunately, the illness of the prince and Xuanyuan Ming is getting more and more serious, and they are afraid that they will not be able to survive.
Therefore, Li Wenhan, who had seen Xia Yao's special ability, naturally paid attention to her.
Xia Yao wondered, if the crown prince and Xuanyuan Luo both died, Xuanyuan Ye's mother's family had a low background, and Xuanyuan Che was obviously rejected by the emperor, even if Xuanyuan Luo would be punished for this this time, wouldn't it be better to lose two strong competitors all of a sudden?
With such a question, Xia Yao couldn't help but ask when she saw Xuanyuan Luo at night.
When she said these words, her face was full of innocence and incomprehension, and there was no greed for power in the slightest.
Xuanyuan Luo touched her head and explained: "Don't forget, I'm only sixteen this year, if something happens to the prince and the fourth brother, I'm afraid it will be Xuanyuan Che who will benefit the most." β
Xia Yao didn't seem to understand, Xuanyuan Luo simply said carefully: "Now the prince and Xuanyuan Ming are hostile, although Xuanyuan Che is losing power now, but the original foundation is still there, once the prince and the two are gone, there will inevitably be a big shock in the court, I am now weak, and I will definitely not be able to fight Xuanyuan Che."
It's better to let the three of them earn it, I just need to recharge my energy. β
Two years, and in two years he will be eighteen.
Two years is enough time for him to arrange everything.
Xia Yao didn't know much about these curves, she just needed to know - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two couldn't die.
*
The next day, after breakfast, Xia Yao learned from the maidservant that Xuanyuan Luo and they had left the mansion, so she came to the study with the token that Fu Yin gave her yesterday.
Xia Yao looked left and right in the study, hesitated for a while, and said, "I want a prescription for curing this epidemic." "Of course, she won't 'make a wish' to cure the epidemic, otherwise she will be smoked into jerky, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it.
The windows on both sides were blocked, but a gust of wind blew in the house, like a scene from a horror movie, and Xia Yao's goosebumps came out.
The wind blew halfway, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
After the wind stopped, Xia Yao opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her in amazementβthere was no change; And before the wind did not change in the slightest.
"Was it my delusion before?" Xia Yao muttered to herself. But soon, she dismissed her panicked idea.
She looked around the study without giving up, and finally had to admit that her ability was not as strong as she imagined.
This made Xia Yao's heart faintly relieved, the so-called ability to do so much, when she first discovered it, this made Xia Yao happy but inevitably a little afraid.
But...... What about the prince's side? She was distressed again.
Xia Yao walked out of the study sullenly, and Lu'er and Huang Ming, who were waiting outside, saw that their young lady was depressed, and couldn't help asking, "Miss...... What's wrong with you? β
"It's fine." Xia Yao shook her head and tried to cheer up, "Let's go back!" β
"Yes."
*
On the other side β
Xuanyuan Luo, Li Shangshu and Li Wenhan went to check on the quarantined patients.
The reply given to them by the imperial doctor was not good, this disease is similar to the wind cold, but it has a strong contagion that the wind cold does not have. The main thing is - no suitable medicine can be found!
The group of imperial doctors who came over have been frowning for the past few days, as if they were more than ten years old.
Li Shangshu also knew that they were under a lot of pressure, so he calmed down a few words before leaving.
"I don't know...... When will there be news from the emperor's side? Li Shangshu said with a sigh.
"Don't rush." Li Wenhan smiled mysteriously, "Maybe we will be able to find a way soon?" β
"I hope so." Xuanyuan Luo's words just fell.
A man dressed in tatters but clean suddenly appeared not far from the three of them, and said loudly: "There is a prescription here for the grass people, which can treat the 'wind cold' this time, please take a look." β
Xuanyuan Luo & Li Wenhan & Li Shangshu, where did "............" come from??
