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

"Son!"

Xiao Tao tried to chase after him, but was stopped by someone. When she turned around, she saw that it was Xiao Dezi.

"...Let him go." Xiao Tao tried to break free but was held tighter. "That's his own choice."

Maybe, maybe my guess is right.

Xiao Dezi is definitely not an ordinary eunuch.

Xiao Tao saw complicated emotions in his eyes, so complicated that she could hardly understand them. She just stopped subconsciously, thinking of the young man who went there alone. Her eyes turned red and she couldn't help crying.

That's typhoid fever, it's plague.

Although His Majesty is His Majesty, whoever approaches him at this time is seeking death? If the young master goes, he will most likely not come back.

"Don't cry." Xiao Dezi handed her the mask and said, "Pack up everything. We'll wait for the master to come back."

Qi Xiuran was also waiting for Gu Nian to come back.

……

Xie He knew he had a fever.

On the third day of the plague outbreak, his body began to show signs of abnormality - drowsiness, lethargy, and lack of strength.

Knowing that something was wrong, he never dared to go to Xu Bai again.

While his fever was still high, he explained many things, and asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put them on the table. He also told them not to come in and only to deliver the meal.

All those close to him knew that something bad had happened. The prefect was in a panic and didn't know what to do. When the county magistrate and the village head heard that the emperor had been infected with the plague, they packed up their bedding and ran away at night, not to mention tending to him or visiting him.

Xie He thought a lot while lying on the bed. He thought that he climbed to a high position by stepping on corpses, but ended up dying in this small county. He thought that after his death, those ministers would probably applaud and cheer. He thought... he thought of Gu Nian.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. In the past, he only thought that he wanted both the jade and the person, but he didn't expect that after going around in circles, he actually had the idea and now he only wanted "the person".

What a pity, what a pity, it’s a pity that he will never have the chance to see the young master again in this life.

【Xie He’s Favorability: 88】

Xu Bai: [Ah, still alive. ]

He was covered with a cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.

The guards originally looked down on him - a man who was willing to be inferior to others, weak and frail, and would often get sick and cause trouble.

Now they all admire him and ask themselves, that is a plague. If it were them, would they dare to enter the residence of an emperor who is already sick so firmly?

"Don't send the medicine tomorrow. Just wait until late at night to put some food in and knock on the door three times." Xu Bai instructed them, "I'll bring the medicine bag and mugwort in."

"Hey!" These dark-faced men had tears in their eyes, and they all stood straight. The leader even patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, I leave it to you!"

Under their gazes, Xu Bai pushed open the door and walked in.

As dusk approached, the light dimmed, and Xu Bai called softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

No one answered.

Xu Bai: [Liu'er, I shouldn't get this plague, right? After all, it's in the plot...]

【meeting. 】

Liu Er told him firmly, "This disease is part of the plot, but you are also following the plot."

There's nothing wrong with it, but Xu Bai is a little scared. He doesn't give up. [Is there any special medicine——]

Liu Er didn't care: [It's okay. If you really feel uncomfortable, I'll give you a mace, and then we can watch a movie in your head.]

Xu Bai: [No horror movies.]

Everyone reached a consensus, and Xu Bailian's steps became much lighter. He continued to call "Your Majesty" softly, and slowly approached the bed where Xie He was lying.

"His Majesty?"

Xie He remained motionless and did not respond at all to the young master's call.

Xu Bai reached out and touched it, and it was already burning like a furnace.

The food that was brought in remained untouched.

The young master bit his lip, and laboriously pulled out the quilt to cover the man, then unskillfully removed his hair crown, then twisted out a towel and placed it on Xie He's forehead.

The young man was actually afraid in his heart, but... but for some reason, as soon as he heard that Xie He was sick, he rushed over without caring, and only started to get scared after realizing it belatedly.

It was probably impossible to eat the food. Xu Bai remembered that when he had a high fever, he could only drink a little porridge. Now all he brought in was glutinous rice, so he could only make do with this.

Xu Bai hadn't cooked for a long time, so it was inevitable that he was a little clumsy and even burned his fingertips.

"hiss."

It turned red immediately and looked so pitiful.

He waited until the rice in the pot slowly started to boil before he continued to boil the medicine. As the saying goes, long illness makes a good doctor. The imperial physician also explained in detail the time for boiling the medicine, which was not too difficult for him.

Xie He hadn't woken up yet. The young master was busy changing his towel twice. He sat in front of the small medicine stove, fanning himself and watching the heat. He couldn't help but doze off.

I stayed up all night last night, feeling shocked and frightened. An ordinary person would not be able to endure it, let alone a delicate and weak young man.

Liu Er: [Don't sleep! The medicine has all dried up! ]

Xu Bai woke up, looked at the medicine, and patted his forehead, muttering "That was a close call".

The japonica rice had been cooked to perfection and was bubbling with fragrance. He hadn't eaten anything all day, so he felt a little greedy when he smelled the food.

It’s just that I didn’t make much, so I still had to eat as much as I could.

"Your Majesty?" This time Xu Bai not only called out, but also gently pushed his shoulder, "...Your Majesty?"

Xie He heard the young master's voice in a daze and thought it was an illusion or a dream. His body trembled slightly but he refused to open his eyes.

"Your Majesty, wake up."

This time I heard it clearly, really, right next to my ear.

“… Nian Nian.” Xie He called out, his voice hoarse but extremely gentle, perhaps because he was sick.

"Yeah." Xu Bai agreed, "Eat something." As he said that, he tried hard to support Xie He's back, trying to get him to sit up.

The emperor finally came to his senses. He suddenly realized that he had been infected with the plague and was now burning with fever. What about Xu Bai? How did Xu Bai get here?

Xie He first thought that someone was bullying him and forcing him to come in to die. He managed to sit up and said, "Who let you in? Get out now!!"

Xu Bai held the porridge in his hand, and seemed to be particularly tolerant because the king of a country was now a patient. "Your Majesty, I came here by myself. ... Have some porridge."

The cloth on the young master's face was crooked and could not play the role it should have. Xie He's heart was beating so fast that it was too late to hide. He was obviously afraid that the young master would get sick, but at the same time, he felt a sweetness in his heart that could not be ignored.

He forced himself to take the bowl of porridge despite his sore body - Xie He had a big appetite, so he finished it in just two or three gulps.

It was a good thing that he could eat. The young master pursed his lips a little and asked him in a soft voice if he wanted to eat more.

"Need not."

Xie He tilted his head and saw the bowl of steaming medicine again. He slowly realized that both the porridge and the medicine were made by the young master himself. "The porridge is delicious."

The voice was so low and hoarse that it made the young master blush.

It was rare for them to get along so harmoniously and without any grudges. Xie He felt that his body had become much stronger. He picked up the medicine and drank it down in a gulp. He even had the mind to joke, "It seems that this plague is also afraid of the True Dragon Emperor."

The attitude seems very arrogant.

The young master curled up his fingers. He remembered what the imperial physician had said, "Typhoid fever has a long course. It starts with a high fever, followed by abdominal pain and rash, and finally mental confusion. This disease is dangerous and unpredictable. You must be careful, young master."

So even though Xie He was in good spirits and seemed to be getting better, he didn't dare to relax at all, "The medicine helps you sleep, Your Majesty, go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
