Qingqiang's eyes dodged a few times, but she didn't dare to look at her eyes, her fingers pinched the corners of her clothes nervously, and she didn't say a reason for a long time.

"What's that...... I, I don't know ......."

Ning Ke narrowed his eyes, examined Qingqiang's eyes like a searchlight for a while, and then asked, "Is it Chu Junyue?"

According to his character, he should take her back to the palace directly, and he will directly occupy her and not let anyone get close.

But she is lying here now, either she was wrong at that time and Chu Junyue didn't come at all, or Chu Junyue had something to do and couldn't take her away.

Qingqiang bit her lip and said intermittently: "Actually, actually...... It was the prince of the steppe who sent you back....... Regent, he ...... I didn't see ......."

After getting the answer, Ning Ke was still a little disappointed in his heart, hehe, it was really an illusion!

And she said, "How could he come?"

After all, the Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and he is also getting ready to get engaged, so he is probably busy! Where is the time to come to her?

"Miss......" Qingqiang couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw her lost soul, and regretted that she was too talkative, and she should have confused the topic, lest Miss think too much and hurt her body.

Ning Ke pursed his lips, picked up the bowl casually, and drank it little by little, without any waste.

She is clear and sensible.

The love of betrayal cannot be wanted, and it cannot be remembered.

She still has a poor little guy in her belly, and she has suffered so much with her, she has to take good care of herself and give birth to this child smoothly.

The Regent's Mansion was depressing and gloomy, and the air was filled with an air of danger and tension.

Yuan Bao hurriedly came back from outside, his face was solemn, and he went directly into Chu Junyue's room.

In the depths of the dimly lit room, the curtain of the bed hung low, and a figure of a person lying flat could be vaguely seen, with a long body and a slight painful sickness.

"Master......." Yuan Bao looked at the person on the bed who was stoic and depressed, and called out distressedly, "Why don't you find her......."

"Don't!" Chu Junyue's cold voice came from the bed, even if he was a little weak, his tone still carried an undeniable majesty, "I can't let her worry, I can't let her know......"

Yuan Bao frowned, "But master, your epidemic will ......"

"What about the Medical Saint?" Chu Junyue interrupted him and asked.

Yuan Bao shook his head, "The medical saint is in retreat, the plague was so serious a few days ago, he didn't get out of the customs, and now he can't find anyone." He looked at Chu Junyue almost pleadingly, "Master, the medical saint is not here, and only the medical immortal in this Kyoto can have this ability, so it's better to ......"

"Didn't you listen to what this king said?" Chu Junyue was furious, excited for a while, and couldn't stop panting.

Yuan Bao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, he didn't understand why the master and the princess were so good, they used to be so good, but now they are strangers.

Although he also blamed the master and Princess Ningle for that incident at first, he was relieved when he thought that the master was not that kind of person.

But the princess has been misunderstanding and refuses to forgive. It's useless for the master to say anything.

When dealing with the plague, the master worked day and night to help the princess, and ordered all the big and small things to be arranged properly, and there was no chaos, so that the epidemic could be controlled so quickly.

But what no one knew was that after everyone took the medicine prepared by the princess, the master was busy controlling the spread of the epidemic and had no time to drink the medicine, and finally became infected himself because of frequent contact with plague patients.

And the strangest thing is that the master did not react to the drugs prescribed by the princess, and everyone else could be cured, but he became more and more serious.

Even when the princess fainted that day, after the master grabbed it, she couldn't bring it back, and in the end she was snatched by Chun Yuyan.

He felt worried when he looked at it, and wanted to go and tell the princess, but the master refused to let him live or die, and he kept staying in the palace.

But there is no way to go on like this, the plague is fatal, not an ordinary disease!

"Don't tell her, she's not in good health, and she can't be tired anymore......" Chu Junyue gasped roughly, and as if he was exhausted, he slowly lay back, "You go and bring the medicine! ”

Unable to resist the order, Yuan Bao stalked his neck and turned to go out.

Chu Junyue lay on the bed, staring at the top of the mosquito net with dark eyes for a long time, and only after a while did he raise his hand, and the wide sleeves of his coat slipped down, revealing patches of red spots on his arms.

He pursed his lips, pulled his sleeves up, and hid them under the covers.

"Xiao Ke'er, I'm sorry....... I really love you......."

The plague was brought under control, the dead Kyoto was sunny, and the New Year's atmosphere was rekindled, bringing the whole of Kyoto to life.

Probably because of the experience of life and death, people have become more aware of cherishing, and they have a different feeling about this year, which is more grand than in previous years.

Ning Ke's business also returned to normal, and he was not adversely affected by the plague, but after being praised by everyone, it became more and more popular.

She didn't have the heart to take care of it, and spent most of her time recuperating in the side courtyard.

Life seems to be peaceful, there are no unnecessary people and things to worry about, there is no disaster epidemic, and it feels a little unbelievable peacefully.

Ning Ke also felt too calm these days, although this was a good thing, but she always felt like a stormy quiet, something was gathering momentum in the dark.

Helian Yue heard her say and laughed at her, "Sister Ke'er, are you a typical pregnant woman anxious?

Ning Ke herself couldn't say why she had such an idea, she just felt strange, why did Chu Yuxuan and Princess Ning Le suddenly stop?

Also, this plague was clearly deliberately configured, and now that she has sent out the antidote to the plague, shouldn't that person have made some moves? Why are they all so quiet?

Everything seemed to be going too smoothly, so smoothly that it made her feel unreal, as if someone was doing it on purpose.

However, no one believed her, and they all thought that she was so sentimental because she was pregnant, and they all advised her to recuperate.

couldn't be recognized, so Ning Ke didn't say it anymore, but there was always a seed of doubt buried in his heart. When no one was paying attention, she quietly went out of the secret passage and went to Baolinzhai to find Old Man Hu.

Last time, the plague was so serious, and Old Man Hu didn't show up, this time, she was a little puzzled and wanted to discuss with Old Man Hu.

The answer is that Old Man Hu went out to look for medicine and has not come back for many days.

Ning Ke was a little disappointed, and was about to go back to Ning Mansion, when the disciple said again, "Are you also here to find the master to see the regent? ”

Chu Junyue is sick?

How could he have been seriously ill for no reason?

Don't......

A terrible thought rushed through her mind, and she startled herself, turned around and ran towards the side yard.

She came out of the secret passage and happened to bump into Qingqiang looking for her, she grabbed Qingqiang's shoulder and forced her to ask, "You tell me honestly, what happened to Chu Junyue? What serious illness did he have, why did he have to find Old Man Hu?"

Qingqiang's gaze changed, and she snorted, "Slave maid...... Slave no, I don't know ......"

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll marry you to Wang Mazi's son! Break you up and Yuanbao!" Ning Ke deliberately threatened.

Qingqiang knew that she did it on purpose, but fortunately she found an excuse for herself, didn't she?

So, Qingqiang, the girl, honestly explained the ins and outs.

After Ning Ke listened, his hands and feet became cold, and he shivered uncontrollably.

"Miss, miss, don't get excited, the regent is strong in martial arts, he will definitely be fine!" Qingqiang was startled by her, and hurriedly hugged her tightly, while shouting loudly for Helian Yue and Chun Yuyan to come in.

Chun Yuyan and Helian Yue thought that something was wrong with her, and hurriedly rushed in, only to find that Ning Ke was in Qingqiang's arms with a calm face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

"Xiao Keke, what's going on?" Chun Yuyan suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, could it be that she knew the news of Chu Junyue's illness?

At that time, if it weren't for Chu Junyue's illness, he wouldn't have been able to win, and he wouldn't have been able to snatch her back.

Ning Ke muttered a few times in her mouth, but the three of them didn't hear it clearly, and when she wanted to ask her again, she waved her hand calmly, "I don't have anything, you don't want to be a soldier." ”

"Miss......" Qingqiang looked at her with blank eyes, didn't Miss go to save the regent? I heard Yuan Bao say that she was very sick!

Ning Ke really didn't plan to save him, since she saw him and Princess Ning Le together, she hated him so much!

Now that he suddenly says that he is sick, who knows if it is a bitter meat trick?

She didn't want to believe a word of his words anymore.

Qingqiang looked disappointed, but she couldn't say anything, the young lady almost had a miscarriage at that time, and she suffered so much, why did she have to save the regent?

It's like it's just a bubble that once it appears, it bursts, and no one talks about it again.

Until—

One night, when Ning Ke was about to go to bed, Yuan Baohuo ran over in a hurry, grabbed her and shouted for help.

Ning Ke had a cold face and didn't move, "What are you doing here?" This is my boudoir, you let me out!"

"Please, princess, please save the master, the master has the plague, and the medicine you took before had no effect, so he fainted again!"

Ning Ke still didn't move, she lazily raised her eyes and glanced at Yuanbao, curled her lips and sneered, "Yuanbao, your acting skills are good, but you are wrong, I don't care if your master really has the plague or other ideas, it has nothing to do with me!"

She turned her back coldly and said coldly, "You go!"

Yuan Bao was about to die in a hurry, so he had been talking for a long time, but Ning Ke still thought that this was Chu Junyue's bitter trick, so he refused to follow him.

In the end, even Helian Yue and Chun Yuyan were alarmed, and they almost didn't chop up the ingots, but they were spared with the protection of Qingqiang.

Yuanbao had red eyes, a face of unwillingness and pain, and there was already a cry in his voice, "Princess, my Yuanbao has never lied, and this time is the same, the master doesn't want you to worry, and I am not allowed to come to you, but except for you, the princess, no one can save the master." ”

He touched his face vigorously and took a deep breath, "Since you don't believe it, princess, then I have nothing to say! I can only feel sorry for my master, he loves the wrong person!"

After speaking, he ignored Qingqiang's obstruction and left angrily.

Ning Ke stood in the middle of the room with his clothes draped, his face condensed--Chu Junyue was really sick? How could it be? He should have taken an antidote, why was he still infected?

No, no, no, he must have played a bitter trick!

Ning Ke tried her best to convince herself that it was a lie, she believed in her medical skills, believed that there would be no problems with her antidote, and all this must be just his conspiracy.

However, I have to admit that he succeeded.

Even if she said that she didn't care and didn't believe him, she would be sad and worried when she really heard the news of his illness.

It's just that she won't be so unhesitating.

Sleepless all night, her mind was full of the words of ingots, whether to go or not, to believe or not to believe, she struggled all night.

In the end, she chose to go out to find out the situation.

But before she could go out, Qingqiang ran back as if she had lost her soul, and said anxiously: "Miss!

Ning Ke's pupils shrank suddenly, "How is it possible!"

The plague has been eradicated by her! There are no rats to be found in the whole of Kyoto, how can there be a plague?
