Cheng Xi saw that the crown prince and Qin Dong were going out to see the situation of the victims, and was worried that they would be infected, so he asked them to take the preventive medicine she brought before letting them leave.

There was no such thing as a mask in this dynasty, so Cheng Xi had no way to make such a thing as a mask on the spot in order to prevent the imperial doctors from being infected with the plague in close contact with the patients, so she asked the prince to order it to go down, so everyone who came into close contact with the patients had to cover their faces with a double layer of gauze.

At first, the imperial doctors thought it was very strange, they were here to treat patients, and they were not killers, so why should they cover their faces? Later, after listening to Cheng Xi's explanation, I realized that the crown princess was for their good, and they were very cooperative.

When the imperial doctors were busy until noon, they found that the epidemic was somewhat serious, and they were helpless.

The prince was also busy outside for a morning, and when he learned of such a situation, he was also worried, and when he returned to their residence at noon to have lunch with Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi saw that he was absent-minded.

"Husband, is there something wrong with you?" Cheng Xi asked.

The crown prince sighed and said, "This epidemic is somewhat serious, and the imperial doctors are helpless against those patients who are seriously ill now. ”

"Husband, I'll go with you after lunch." Cheng Xi said.

"No, Xi'er, you don't want to go out yet, I'll let the imperial doctor come in and tell you about the situation." The crown prince said with a serious face.

The imperial doctor came in and explained the situation to Cheng Xi, but Cheng Xi still insisted on going to see the patient, and he had to take the pulse to know what was going on, so that he could prescribe the right medicine.

When Cheng Xi saw those patients, some of them had already fallen into a coma, and after she took their pulses, she studied the prescription with the imperial doctors, and then incorporated some of the knowledge she had learned in modern times to prescribe the medicine.

The prince's guards took the prescription to grab the medicine, boiled the medicine, and let the patient drink the medicine as quickly as possible.

Another group of guards burned the bodies of those who had already died, because if they were not burned, they would infect many more people.

After those patients drank the medicine, they obviously improved, and Cheng Xi returned to his residence.

In the evening, the prince received a secret report from the Qingtian Pavilion, and after reading the letter, the prince's whole face turned black, and he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

Cheng Xi heard the movement in the study outside, and felt a little strange, obviously he was fine just now, because the patient's condition has improved today, he is in a good mood, what happened at this time?

Cheng Xi knocked on the door and went in, stepped forward, and asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?" ”

When the prince saw that it was Cheng Xi who came in, he immediately changed his smile and said to Cheng Xi: "Xi'er, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." ”

"I said, Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you look like you're a fine person?" Cheng Xi shook his head and said, "Husband, we are husband and wife, if you have anything, don't hide it from me, I can share it with you." As the saying goes: three stinkers race against one Zhuge Liang, one more person, one more idea......"

Before Cheng Xi finished speaking, he was interrupted by the crown prince, and he asked, "Who is Zhuge Liang?" ”

Cheng Xi was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, she forgot that the people of this dynasty didn't know Zhuge Liang at all, and she still hadn't figured out whether this dynasty was earlier than the Three Kingdoms period, or was this a dynasty that had not been recorded in history? Cheng Xi thought that when she was in junior high school and high school, she studied history well, but she didn't know that there was such a dynasty.

People who want to come here haven't read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", otherwise, people like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who read poetry and books shouldn't know Zhuge Liang! You must know that in modern times, even if you haven't read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", even if you are a child, you know the famous Zhuge Liang!

Cheng Xi looked at the prince and looked at her with a puzzled expression, thought for a while, and then explained: "Zhuge Liang is a very powerful character in the script, his wit is outstanding, resourceful, clever, knows astronomy, geography, and is also proficient in the way of yin and yang, can call the wind and rain, perceive all things in heaven and earth, strategize, use troops into the gods, win a hundred battles, and win thousands of miles away. ”

"It turned out to be a character in the script, so I'll just say, how can there be such a powerful character in reality?" The prince said with a smile.

Cheng Xi really wanted to tell him that Zhuge Liang was really a person, but she couldn't explain it to him clearly, so she had to give up, just said: "Actually, I just want to tell you that there are many people with great power, don't carry everything alone, in fact, there are more people and one more idea, and I can't help you come up with ideas?" ”

The prince looked at Cheng Xi's expectant eyes, thought about it, and told Cheng Xi what the secret letter said just now, Cheng Xi was taken aback when he heard it, looked at the prince with an incredible face, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true, the information of the Sky Pavilion will never be wrong." The crown prince nodded and said very solemnly.

Cheng Xi hadn't recovered from the shock yet, she shook her head and said, "He actually didn't miss family affection at all for that position. ”

In his eyes, there is only the throne, how can there be family affection? In the royal family, flesh and blood affection is the weakest. The prince said with some sadness.

"The men in black who wanted to stab us in the woods last time were sent by him, right?" Although Cheng Xi was asking, her tone was affirmative.

"No, he didn't send it alone, but my two good brothers conspired with it." The prince said mockingly.

Cheng Xi remembered Cao Zhi's poem: "It is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other?" ”

Cheng Xi didn't sigh too much, she looked up at the prince and asked, "What is the husband going to do?" ”

"I don't have a good idea for my husband now, and now the epidemic situation here in Jiangnan is so serious, we can't rush back right now!" "Besides," said the prince, "besides, one of these people we have brought with us is secretly delivering news to him, otherwise he would not have known so well about our whereabouts." ”

He is the crown prince, he will not be the emperor in the future, he doesn't care very much, it's just that his elder brother, for the throne, ruthless, can do everything, such a person becomes the emperor, I'm afraid the life of the common people is not easy, right?

However, now that he is here, the people of Jiangnan need him, how can he run back to the capital for the position of the prince, regardless of the people here?

The only thing he is glad about now is that Cheng Xi came out with him this time, otherwise, if they send back the news that he had an accident in Jiangnan, where would Cheng Xi bear it?

"Husband, can you trust Xi'er?" Cheng Xi asked with a serious face.

"Xi'er, how do you say this? How could a husband not trust Xi'er? The prince said puzzledly.

"If the husband can trust Xi'er, then let's do it!" Cheng Xi approached the prince's ear, whispered his thoughts in his ear.

"But, Xi'er, I can't rest assured that my husband can't let you go!" The prince was a little moved when he heard Cheng Xi's method, but he really didn't feel at ease if he wanted Cheng Xi to stay here alone.

"Husband, aren't there still Qin Dong and Qin Nan here? Xi'er believes that they can protect me, besides, I am not a weak woman who is powerless, a tiger father has no dog girl, even if the daughter of General Cheng can't be like you, it is still no problem to protect herself. Cheng Xi said confidently that she wanted to persuade the prince to hurry back to the capital to stop the conspiracy.

"But, Xi'er, otherwise, let's go back together." The prince said.

"No, husband, you also know that if you go back alone, you can ride back quickly, and I am pregnant now, and I am not suitable for riding, if I go back in the carriage, I will waste a lot of time on the road, and I can't delay your trip." Cheng Xi didn't think about it, and immediately vetoed the prince's statement.

"But......" The prince still wanted to persuade Cheng Xi, but was interrupted by Cheng Xi.

"Husband, think about it, they all know how much you care about me, they know that I am your weakness, if you take me back, maybe I will become a burden to you." Cheng Xi continued to persuade.

The next day, as usual, the prince took the guards to visit the sick and the victims, and when he passed through a remote village, a group of men in black appeared, and the guards saw that another assassin appeared, and wanted to murder the prince, so they joined the battle, and after a while, the men in black died and were wounded.

But when they tied up the surviving man in black and prepared to take him back to the prince's residence, they found that the prince was gone.

This scared them half to death, just now everyone was struggling to kill the enemy, no one saw how the prince disappeared, they all thought to themselves had a bad premonition, it is estimated that the prince was taken away by the man in black!

However, no one dared to say such a thing, and they divided up and searched for a whole day, until they found the evening, but there was no trace of the prince.

In the evening, a large group of guards returned to the door of the residence of the crown prince and the crown princess, Cheng Xi saw their group coming back and greeted them, but she did not see the prince, she asked, "Where is His Royal Highness the prince?" ”

The guards knelt on the ground one after another, all bowing their heads, and the head of the guards said to Cheng Xi: "Please condemn the crown princess, the subordinates are not effective in protecting His Royal Highness the prince, and in the fight with the assassins, His Royal Highness the prince is gone." ”

When Cheng Xi heard this, she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and the whole person was about to faint, Qin Dong quickly supported her, so she didn't fall, and after a while, she heard Cheng Xi's crying voice and asked, "What does it mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone?" He went out with you as a big living person, how could he be gone? ”
