Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

With Xie He's promise to "tell the truth if you come back alive", Xu Bai's health actually got much better. Originally, he would have to rest for three to five days after fainting, but this time he was able to walk on the second day.

Xiao Tao had always felt guilty, and was relieved to see Xu Bai get better so quickly. However, she was still very cautious around him every day, and her voice became soft.

Clearly frightened.

"Young Master." The imperial physician came over again, took Xu Bai's pulse, and brought a bowl of medicine.

This bowl of soup was very clear, and even had a slightly sweet herbal aroma. "This is Jingfang Baidu Powder, which is used to dispel wind and relieve exterior symptoms. If you take it, it will dispel wind, cold and dampness."

The young master, who was used to drinking strong and bitter medicine, took a look and frowned slightly, "What are the symptoms of the people here? ... Have those who are sick gotten better?"

“……” The imperial physician was silent, but Xu Bai had already seen a lot from his expression.

"What about His Majesty? Is His Majesty all right?"

"Your Majesty is fine." The imperial physician comforted the young man in front of him, "Your Majesty is fumigating with moxa every day and taking preventive medicine. He is in good health."

Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Bai: [Will Xie He die? ]

Liu Er: [According to the information I have——]

Now Xu Bai gets scared when he hears Liu'er say the word "information". [Is this serious information?]

[The "Behavior and Language Analysis of the Male Lead/Male Supporting Character" published by the superior leaders emphasizes: If the male lead/male supporting character has a sad expression but pretends to be calm, is stubborn but has a smile on his face, and uses words such as "if", "suppose", "definitely" (for example: I will definitely marry you when I come back), please be careful and stay by his side at all times to avoid unnecessary losses caused by the death of the male lead/male supporting character.]

After saying this in all seriousness, Liu Er came to the conclusion, [Xie He is in danger.]

Of course he was in danger. When he mentioned the plague to Xu Bai, Xu Bai realized that something was bound to happen.

It's unusual outside.

Although he did not leave the house, the young master still felt uneasy. The smell of mugwort was everywhere, and small peaches were lit in his room. All the guards and palace servants who came and went covered their faces with cloth, and the imperial physician also changed from taking the pulse through a silk handkerchief to taking the pulse with a hanging thread.

There was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

The young master was very nervous, his heart was beating very fast, "Xiao Tao, what is going on outside now..."

After the last lesson, Xiao Tao didn't dare to go into too much detail. "It's not good outside. I heard that many people have died."

"Call Xiao Dezi over."

"Hey."

Qi Xiuran was obviously more concerned about what was happening outside than Xiaotao. Xu Bai was so anxious that he had no one to talk to, so he could only call him over and ask straight to the point, "Tell me, what's going on outside right now?"

"Corpses are everywhere." Qi Xiuran sighed, "Everyone is panicking now, fearing that they will catch typhoid fever. It's too dangerous here, and I heard that the emperor distributes medicine in the epidemic area every day..."

"Young Master!" Xiao Tao called out, her voice full of joy. "The commander of the guards is here, and he wants to escort you back to the palace!"

"This is a good opportunity." Qi Xiuran said, "The palace is not well guarded right now, we can take this opportunity to escape—"

Xu Bai pursed his lips, and the words of promise turned around his lips a few times, "No, Xiu Ran, I can't leave."

"why?"

"Master! The carriage is waiting outside!" Xiao Tao called again.

"Why?" Qi Xiuran was a little impatient. The opportunity was right in front of him. Xu Bai's attitude made him think about other things involuntarily. He clenched his fists and spoke without thinking, "You can't bear to leave Xie He? Are you reluctant to leave him?"

"Xiuran!"

The boy lowered his head, his eyelashes drooped down to form a small shadow, "How could I - I want to know the truth."

He whispered, "Xie He promised me that as long as he came back alive this time, he would tell me the truth about my parents' murder..." At this point he couldn't control his sobs, "I will go with you, but I have to know... I have to know the truth, I have the right to know the truth... I'm sorry..."

"Young Master!" Xiao Tao called again.

"I'm not leaving." Xu Bai replied, realizing that his voice was too soft, and raised it again, "Your Majesty is here, I'm not going anywhere!"

The young master didn't notice that Qi Xiu Ran was staring at him with a strange look, which contained both sadness and unwillingness.

"I'm sorry." He still lowered his head, "I..."

"It's nothing." Qi Xiuran took two steps forward, helped him tuck his scattered hair behind his ears, and said softly, "Don't worry, no matter what choice you make, I will be with you."

……

The panic grew bigger and bigger. Through the window, Xu Bai saw the palace servants constantly sweeping and fumigating with moxa. The whole mansion was filled with the strong smell of medicine. Everyone was desperately trying to put on themselves any things they could find that were said to be able to ward off evil spirits.

Xiao Tao didn't leave either. In fact, the young master wanted her to follow the guards back to the palace, but she refused.

The situation became more and more serious day by day, and as time passed, Xu Bai became increasingly anxious.

He hadn't seen Xie He for several days.

That night.

He was held in the man's arms and the horse was galloping wildly.

The sharp crossbow arrow came through the air.

Be careful!

I wanted to scream, but nothing came out. There was only silence in my ears; even the whistling of the wind disappeared.

puff!

The sound of a sharp blade entering flesh was clear, and the arms around his shoulders tightened suddenly, with hot blood splattering on his face.

All his senses were slowed down, and Xu Bai fell off his horse and fell heavily, but he didn't care about anything else. He staggered and rolled over to turn over the man who was lying on the ground.

Because of this fall, the arrow had completely pierced the man's body. Even if Xu Bai didn't understand, he knew that with this position and this injury, the man would definitely not survive.

"..."

He could not make any sound except breathing. His heart ached and his chest was congested. He turned his gaze to the man's face which was gradually turning gray.

"Thank you!!!"

Xu Bai suddenly opened his eyes, his body felt numb and he was sweating profusely.

His heart was still beating wildly, and he gasped for a while, "...Xiao, Xiaotao...Xiaotao..."

"What's wrong, sir?"

Xiao Tao turned on the light and was startled by Xu Bai's appearance. "Master, I'll go call the imperial physician!"

"Don't!" He grabbed Xiao Tao, his voice still trembling, "Please help me find out, His Majesty... Why doesn't His Majesty come here recently..."

The uneasiness became more and more intense, and even repeated deep breathing could not make the feeling go away. Xu Bai could no longer sleep, and spent the middle of the night biting his lips and thinking about random things.

Xie He was indeed sick.

After all, he is a human being with mortal flesh and blood. Even if he is strong and healthy, he cannot withstand the typhoid fever.

It spread so quickly that before the bodies could be taken away, another group fell ill. Even though a "hospital" was set up, it was impossible to control the disease in a short period of time.

"Son!"

When Xiao Tao came, she looked flustered. "I heard that His Majesty is ill and has a high fever."

Xu Bai calmed down after his anxiety was confirmed. Xiao Tao was afraid that Xu Bai would have another accident, so she quickly comforted him, "Sir, don't worry too much. His Majesty is the true dragon emperor..."

"I'll go find him."

"It will definitely turn a disaster into a blessing... Sir, what did you say?"

"I say." Xu Bai had already put on his outer robe and walked out the door despite the cold wind. "Don't follow me. I have to go and serve His Majesty."
