Chapter 146: Jing Rong is sick
Their voices were getting louder and louder, and naturally someone joined in the discussion, "This King Chen is still a good prince, originally I thought he was just a pampered child of the royal family, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but I didn't expect to come to Jiangnan and do a few practical things." Not only was the flood control quite effective, but also widely benevolent, the court gave disaster relief materials were not enough, so he took out his own money to subsidize the victims, I heard that even the concubines around him took out gold and silver jewelry to sell. ”
"Concubine? Is it Princess Chen? ”
"What is it, that concubine is the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family, she has been pampered since she was a child, where can she suffer hardship. This concubine is different, I heard that she is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also kind-hearted and approachable, and she has no princess frame at all. But it's a pity that it's a side concubine, and it seems to be surnamed Ming. ”
"What's wrong with the side concubine, if you can let King Chen take it with you, you must be favored. The princess is in the main room, but the king of Renchen only brought the side concubine, and when he thought about it, he knew that the concubine was not favored. This woman, if she doesn't have the favor of a man, hmph, what's the use? ”
When Zi Yao heard this, these people actually slandered the master, and immediately changed their faces, and just about to fight back, they were stopped by Mu Xuefu and shook her head at her. Zi Yao was angry, but the master was in the way, so she had to shut her mouth stupidly.
I saw that the thin man just now glanced around, and said mysteriously, "Have you heard?" ”
"What?"
The thin man lowered his voice, "King Chen is infected with the plague, and it is menacing, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
The man at the table was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Huh? I haven't heard of it, where did you hear that? Don't be a rumor, right? ”
"It's my relatives who said it, it's true, King Chen has been infected for several days. Now those doctors are trying their best to heal, but it still has no effect. ”
Mu Xuefu's face changed instantly, and she even paused for breathing. She hurriedly walked over to the thin man, slapped her palm on the table, and her voice was cold and clear, "Why do your relatives know that King Chen is infected with the plague?" ”
The thin man was stunned for a moment, looked at the stunning beauty in front of him, lost his soul, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".
Mu Xuefu frowned, and her voice became even stronger, "Say, is it true or false that King Chen is sick?" ”
The thin man was scolded by the same table for a moment before he reacted, but his eyes were still fixed on Mu Xuefu, and he replied in a daze: "King Chen is in Hengyang City, and my relatives happen to be soldiers stationed in Hengyang City. He said that King Chen was in a coma and unconscious. ”
His words drilled into Mu Xuefu's ears word by word, like a thousand roots piercing her heart, sharply tearing something. It was like countless flying insects fluttering their wings in her ears, causing her ears to buzz and make her dizzy.
As soon as her will softened, Mu Xuefu took a few steps back, staggering and almost unable to stand, but fortunately, Bai Yi held on in time and whispered softly in her ear, "The princess relaxes, the prince is blessed with a great life, and it will be fine." ”
As if comforted, Mu Xuefu stabilized her mind and said, "We won't rest, we will go to Hengyang overnight." He also instructed Bai Yi, "Send a message to my senior sister Feige, and let her come over immediately wherever she is." ”
They came and went in a hurry, and without waiting for the innkeeper's arrangement, several of them left the inn.
"Is this a heavenly immortal?" A room full of people watched Mu Xuefu walk out of the inn with burning eyes, and when he was gone, there were still people who did not come to their senses.
"Just now I heard the girl next to her call her the princess, and she was so excited when she heard the news of King Chen, could it be Princess Chen?" Someone speculated.
The thin man was stunned and poured wine into his mouth, and when he heard someone say this, he heard the action of raising a glass, and slapped his brain, "Oh, my mouth, I just said that Princess Chen is not favored." ”
Everyone smiled and shook their heads, such a beautiful beauty, if King Chen is not favored, then it is blind. I'm afraid that King Chen feels sorry for this princess, is afraid of her hard work, and doesn't want her to show up, so he hides at home.
After a day and a night's journey, Mu Xuefu finally saw Jingrong, but when she saw him again, he had fallen into a coma.
He had lost a lot of weight, and his face was an unusual red, as if he was suffering from the sickness, and he frowned. She hadn't seen him in a long time, and she didn't think that he wouldn't even be able to look at herself when she saw him again.
Because of the plague, all those who served in the house wore veils, and sat on the edge of the bed with open hearts, and wept secretly. Seeing Mu Xuefu coming, she was startled at first, then wiped away the tears on her face and saluted her, "Why is the princess here?" ”
Mu Xuefu took the veil presented by the star chaser and didn't put it on, her eyes swept over Ming Wanxin's face, "I heard that there was a plague in Jiangnan, and I was worried that the prince rushed over." Unexpectedly, he didn't save others yet, and he fell first. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room looked at Mu Xuefu with obscure eyes. The prince is sick like this, why does the princess still say cool things. Even when the star chasers heard this, they secretly blamed in their hearts.
Mu Xuefu ignored everyone's eyes, and walked directly to Jing Rong's side, she took his pulse, this pulse was weak and disorganized, this body, if there is no cure in a few days, I am afraid that it is really a short life.
Weakly lowered his shoulders and sighed deeply. She looked at the scene deeply, and a layer of mist welled up in her eyes, blurring everything in front of her. Mu Xuefu took his hand, covered his face, lowered his waist and whispered in his ear: "Jingrong, I'm here, don't be angry with me, okay?" I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong. ”
A tear slipped down the corner of his eye and fell on the back of Jing Rong's hand, as if it was a kind of telepathy, and his fingers moved slightly. Mu Xuefu felt the touch of his fingers, grabbed his hand hard, and said happily: "Lord Wang, did you hear me speak?" You open your eyes and look at me. ”
The heat in his body kept surging, as if he was in dire straits, suffocating him. Jing Rong's mind was in turmoil, and when he heard Mu Xuefu's voice, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality. He tried to open his eyes several times, but in vain, his eyelids were sour, and he had no strength to support them. It wasn't until he felt the warm liquid on the back of his hand that he was dragged back to reality.
As if to get a chance to breathe, Jing Rong moved his eyelids, and opened his eyes with great effort, and he saw Mu Xuefu's tear-stained eyes, which contained anxiety and worry. His whole body felt as if he had been run over, and the pain was cracking, and he reached out to wipe her tears, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Fu'er." ”
With just these two words, Jingrong fell into the boundless darkness again, and her hand slowly slid down Mu Xuefu's face, past her face, her nose, her lips, and fell to the edge of the bed.
The transparent and almost pure white silk curtains hung and overlapped, like dark clouds on the horizon before the wind and rain were coming, and there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and a white lightning, like a blade, cut through the entire sky. Then the warm rain fell from the Milky Way like a waterfall, and in an instant, the window was like smoke and fog.
Like this pouring rain, when the wind blows, it spreads everywhere. Suddenly, like a night, the plague smeared onto the paper like water droplets, slowly spreading and infiltrating layer by layer, and even the surrounding towns began to run rampant. At this time, Hengyang was no different from a dead city, those who died of illness, starvation, houses collapsed and stoned to death, corpses everywhere, mourning everywhere
