The man in black turned around and just glanced at his subordinate coldly, and the man's heart was shocked, and he quickly knelt down and said: "The subordinates are speechless, and the subordinates know that this thing is very important to the little county lord, and they must do their best to do it." ”

When the man in black heard his subordinate say this, he couldn't help but say with some concern: "Pass the order, be sure to speed up, Li'er's illness can't wait." ”

The man took the order and retreated, leaving only the man in black standing alone, the cold wind blew slowly, almost naughty, lifted his hair, and gently put it down, he pursed his thin lips, and his expression was determined. The figure flashed and left.

When He Xi came out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, it was already noon, his legs were almost numb when he knelt, Ruyi was holding He Xi's arm, and he was walking towards the front, but he heard a coquettish reprimand behind him: "Xi Cai people stay." ”

When He Xi heard this voice, he turned back a little helplessly and said, "Miss Xiao Nai doesn't know what to advise?" ”

He Xi looked behind Xiao Nai, Lan Ruo and the others hadn't come out yet, she frowned, Xiao Nai walked to He Xi's side, leaned half-leaning in the direction of He Xi, and said in a deep voice: "I just saw Xi Cairen's intelligence today, I really don't know how such a delicate person as Xi Cairen fell into such a field, but I have one thing to tell Xi Cairen, when Brother Yue comes back, I will marry Brother Yue as my wife and become a virtuous princess, maybe I can't guide you now, but at that time, If you're still like this, then don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"Miss Xiao Nai has shown me affection now? At the time of the ancient tomb, the concubine almost lost her life at the hands of the young lady, and today, Miss Xiao Nai and others framed me, please forgive the concubine for being clumsy, and I don't see that Miss Xiao Nai has any thoughts about the overall situation. He Xi didn't know where the anger came from, she said mockingly.

Xiao Nai heard her talk about the ancient tomb, and remembered which time Tuoba Yue's cold eyes, she was furious, raised her hand, and was about to hit He Xi's face, He Xi suddenly stepped forward, held Xiao Nai's hand tightly, and helped Xiao Nai with one hand to help the hairpin on the sideburns, and said with a smile on her face: "Miss Xiao Nai, your hairpin is crooked, the concubine will help you help it." ”

Then he quickly said in Xiao Nai's ear: "Yesterday, you made things difficult for me, which has made the queen suspicious, and I hope that Miss Xiao Nai's overall situation is important." ”

The overall situation is a few words, He Xi deliberately bit heavy, but in Xiao Nai's opinion, he was a little sarcastic.

Xiao Nai endured and endured, and finally put down his wrist, stared at He Xi's eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Then I will thank Xi Cairen." ”

He Xi took a step back, leaned over behind Xiao Nai and said, "The concubine sees the queen's mother, Concubine Hui's mother, and the lady's mother-"

Xiao Nai eased his expression and turned his head.

Lan Xin's beautiful eyes kept looking between the two, and even Xu Qing'er felt a little unusual, only Lan Ruo said quietly: "This palace took the two younger sisters and listened to the abbot talk about Buddhism for a while, and it was too late to come out, but I didn't want Xicai and Nell to leave yet." ”

He Xi just said respectfully: "The concubine has been kneeling for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience on her legs, so she wants to rest for a while, but she doesn't want to see Miss Xiao Nai, so she talks a few words." ”

She said so frankly that Lan Ruo was a little surprised, Xiao Nai held back the anger in her heart, and also said: "Today's events, Nell saw Liu Cairen's personality clearly, thinking that Nell pleaded with Liu Cairen yesterday, Nell felt guilty, so she chatted with Xicai people a few more words. Lan Xin took two steps forward and said with a smile: "My good sister, many things are not as simple as you think, although today's things are not right for Liu Cairen, but on behalf of yesterday's sister's mistake, my sister understands what my sister means?" Xiao Nai pretended to be well-behaved and nodded, and retreated to Lan Xin's side, He Xi didn't care at all, and returned to his courtyard after saluting.

The door of Liu Ru's room on the opposite side was closed, but there was a palace maid kneeling at the door, it was Xiao Fluttershy, who was not doing well, and when she saw He Xi and the others coming in, Xiao Fluttershy stood up from the ground suddenly, her face was red finger marks, she must have been punished by Liu Ru, she rushed over like crazy, Min Rong was hideous and terrifying, and when the ugly child saw this, she quickly stopped in front of He Xi and said coldly: "Xiao Fluttershy, what are you going to do?" ”

Fluttershy roared as if she was a little crazy, "It's over, it's all over you, it's all you, it's all you who hurt me, you hurt our little master, I'm going to kill you, kill you!" ”

She struggled to break free from Chou'er's restraint, Chou'er's hands were bloodied by her long nails, He Xi looked at her coldly, suddenly stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped Fluttershy in the face, saying, "Please see clearly, you are the one who framed you, when did there be such a thing in this world, and I was wrong to protect myself?" ”

Fluttershy froze in place, as if she had forgotten that they had stolen the chickens and rice, and she seemed to be reluctant to shout, "You also soiled our little master's clothes last time, if you hadn't offended our little master first, how could we have made such a decision?" ”

He Xi heard the door creaking, presumably Liu Ru heard the sound outside, and when she came out, Liu Ru's eyes were red and swollen, and her sideburns were slightly scattered, presumably she had already cried, her expression was haggard, and she still looked arrogant before.

He Xi sighed helplessly in his heart and said: "In this harem, not everyone can be friends, otherwise they will be used, and they can only bite the silver teeth and swallow them in their stomachs." Liu Cairen, do you say yes? ”

Liu Ru's voice was already a little hoarse, and she said in a trembling voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”

He Xi looked at her, and said with some pity in his eyes: "Liu Cairen is not a dull person, what do I mean, Cairen will know when he thinks about it, why deceive himself?" ”

After speaking, she turned to leave, and Liu Ru, who was holding the door, seemed to have lost her strength, sat on the ground softly, and muttered: Su Xin-

That night, He Xi and the others had eaten the meal sent by the little master, and they heard the suppressed cry of a woman faintly on the other side, and when they saw her look up, Ruyi came over and whispered: "It's Liu Cairen, someone from the palace, saying that Liu Cairen is sick and wants to take Liu Cairen back to the palace." ”

He Xifu lowered his eyes again, his expression was sad, and he didn't seem to have any energy, so the ugly man stepped forward and closed the window and said, "Little master, you haven't rested well these days, while there is nothing to do now, it is better to take a break and recuperate your spirit." ”

He Xi nodded, and fell asleep with her head down, until she fell asleep, I don't know why, the feeling of being stared at appeared again, she sat up suddenly, but the room was empty, only the cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground.

She only felt that her throat was dry and itchy, she struggled to get up, poured herself a large cup of herbal tea, drank it, and suddenly heard something in the side room, thinking that she had woken up Ruyi and the others, and sure enough, Ruyi came in with a lamp.

However, Ruyi's expression was not good-looking, she was wearing a dark cloak and carrying a dim lantern in her hand, and there was a faint anxious look on her face, as if she had just returned from outside.

"What's going on, Ruyi?" He Xi had a bad premonition.

"Little master, something happened, our people came back and said that there was an outbreak in Shuzhong!" Ruyi didn't have time to salute, so he hurriedly stepped forward and gave the things in his hand to He Xi.

There was only a dim lantern in the room barely shining, He Xi's fingertips were the herbal tea in her hand, the ice was cold, she quickly took the secret report handed over by Ruyi, and sure enough, as Ruyi said, the epidemic broke out in Shuzhong three days ago, and the main city where Tuoba Yue is located is the high-incidence area of the epidemic.

"How so?" He Xi only felt that the thin piece of paper in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and she couldn't hold it steadily, so the paper fell to the ground lightly, drawing a beautiful arc.

"A lot of people died in the flood in Shuzhong before, and there was a big drought later, and even if many of the corpses were disposed of, they began to rot because of the heat, and then—" Ruyi said with a tight frown.

He Xi kept thinking about countermeasures, Gao Yuan, at this time, if Gao Yuan was there, she would definitely be able to find a way, she hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let someone contact Mr. Gao!" Please Mr. Gao must come back to help. This is the life of thousands of people. ”

Although He Xi had never experienced the plague, she had also read it in the book, and the plague seemed to be more terrifying than the natural disaster, it was like a wandering Grim Reaper, and it only took a few days to turn a city into a dead city.

Ruyi's voice was already crying: "Little master, our people can't contact Mr. Gao, not only our people, but even the prince's people, can't enter the Miao Domain, the Miao Domain is full of miasma poisonous insects, and they have been isolated from the world for hundreds of years, if there is no people from the Miao Domain to lead the way, even if it is a god, it will be difficult to enter!" ”

So what to do, He Xi only felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, lost her center of gravity, and her voice was hoarse and ugly: "Lu Chuan, by the way, Gao Yuan once said that Lu Chuan's medical skills are excellent, and there must be a way." ”

"Little master, the news has reached the capital, Your Majesty he-" Ruyi looked at He Xi, and stopped talking.

He Xi suddenly raised a desolate smile and said, "Tuoba Chen doesn't plan to care, right?" He wants to trap these people in the city, doesn't he? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty has ordered the evacuation of the inhabitants of several nearby cities." Ruyi said.

Yes, that's Tuoba Chen, isn't it? In his eyes, the lives of these people are not worth mentioning at all, these people have long been outcasts, not to mention, there is also a younger brother he has always been afraid of, maybe he is still glad that the arrival of this plague can justifiably get rid of Tuoba Yue, the thorn in his side.
