You are asked to marry in place of the tyrant, and you allow the tyrant to send you to marry?

Tianze Palace

"Cough cough..."

In the dark night, the candlelight flickered in the room, and bursts of rapid coughing were heard from time to time.

It seems out of place in this quiet night.

Du Qingwan sat quietly on the edge of the bed, covering her mouth tightly with a handkerchief and coughing hard.

His haggard and pale face had turned red due to excessive coughing, like a ripe apple.

Seeing this, Zhao'er quickly put down the basin in his hand, ran forward in a hurry, patted her on the back gently, and said with concern:

"My lady, since you came back from the misty fantasy, you have caught a cold. You keep coughing up blood and can't sleep well at night. Do you want me to go to the Blessing Palace and ask the king to come and see you?"

Du Qingwan didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been coughing up blood recently, and each time it was getting more serious than the last.

Although she is a doctor of modern medicine, a doctor cannot heal herself.

Almost all the doctors in the palace came to see him, but no one could diagnose what the symptoms were.

Du Qingwan also took her own pulse many times, but still found nothing. This was really a headache.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Wanyan Hongze in the first place, so she would naturally not let anyone know about her illness.

Therefore, until now, Wanyan Hongze did not know that Du Qingwan had contracted an inexplicable illness.

For fear of worrying Zhao'er, Du Qingwan simply claimed that she had caught a cold and was not in a position to go out in the wind.

When Du Qingwan heard Zhao'er say that she was going to Cifu Palace to invite Wanyan Hongze, she was immediately flustered. She hurriedly grabbed her little hand and said with an awkward smile:

"Forget it, he is the King of Loulan and has a lot of things to do every day, so I won't cause him any trouble.

Zhao'er, I'm really fine, I just caught a slight cold, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Du Qingwan spoke as if she didn't care, and the smile on her pale face gradually froze, looking very forced no matter how you looked at it.

I don’t know who was comforting whom, but Zhao’er’s face was full of suspicion and he felt very uneasy.

A bad premonition came over me, and I felt inexplicably terrified and suffocated.

“No, miss, you have been ill for several days.

The doctors in the palace have come to see you, but none of them can diagnose your symptoms, let alone prescribe medicine for you."

“In the past few nights, you have been coughing more severely than before, and you have hardly had a good night’s sleep.

If you continue like this, you will really die..."

Zhao'er became more and more frightened as he spoke. His voice trembled violently, and crystal clear tears rolled wildly in his eyes, almost threatening to burst out.

But Du Qingwan didn't care and just laughed foolishly:

"Zhao'er, I am a divine doctor who can bring the dead back to life, have you forgotten?

Of course I know my own illness better than anyone else, right?

You really don't have to worry too much. Hehe..."

Du Qingwan pretended to be calm while speaking, laughing foolishly.

In fact, the pain in her heart was unbearable, and she even felt like coughing out all the blood in her body, but she tried hard to restrain herself.

The forced smile could not hide her extreme pain.

Zhao'er was not a fool either. He could tell at a glance that Du Qingwan was deceiving herself.

After all, all her pain was written on her face.

That cannot be hidden no matter what.

"No, miss, I can't listen to you this time!

I will go to the king now and ask him to find a solution quickly!"

Zhao'er was so frightened that he didn't have time to think about anything. He turned around and ran out without even closing the door.

"No! Zhao'er, come back..."

Du Qingwan stretched out her hand weakly, trying to hold Zhao'er, but Zhao'er had already completely disappeared from her sight.

Helpless, Du Qingwan could only sigh and lower her eyes to carefully examine the handkerchief stained with blood in her hand.

When the bright red bloodstains appeared clearly in front of Du Qingwan, and there were vaguely a few worms as thick as hair slowly crawling, she shuddered instantly.

She subconsciously dropped her handkerchief and quickly took several steps back.

"What is that? Bugs? Why are there bugs in my blood? What's going on?"

Du Qingwan's mind began to become unclear. She muttered to herself unconsciously and looked extremely flustered.

The feeling of uneasiness is spreading and the panic is reaching its peak.

"Could it be that I haven't had enough rest recently and my eyes are blurry?"

"But I just saw a few bugs crawling around."

The more Du Qingwan thought about it, the more confused her mind became, and finally it began to buzz.

She stared at the handkerchief on the ground with a questioning look on her face, and bent over with trepidation to pick it up and check again.

But when her hand was about to touch the bloody handkerchief, she quickly pulled her hand back, trembling with fear.

"No, I must have been dazzled just now and thought it was a bug. It can't be a bug, how can there be a bug?"

Du Qingwan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

But things backfired.

Her mind quickly went blank, and there was nothing else but fear.

The intense panic still couldn't paralyze Du Qingwan. She was so frightened that she completely lost her mind and didn't even dare to open her eyes.

After a while, she felt her mind gradually becoming clearer, so she slowly opened her eyes and reached for the handkerchief with trembling hands.

"what!"

"Bugs! It's really a bug! Woo woo woo ..."

When Du Qingwan confirmed that there were two centipedes slowly crawling on the blood scarf, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she let out a scream.

She subconsciously rolled and crawled away for several meters, curled up in a corner with her hands on her knees, trembling.

"Miss! What's the matter with you? Miss, are you all right?"

At this moment, Zhao'er just led Wanyan Hongze and Abao back to Tianze Palace.

Seeing Du Qingwan huddled in the corner with a look of extreme panic, she was stunned.

She hurriedly ran forward to help Du Qingwan up, but unexpectedly Wanyan Hongze got there first and blocked her way.

"Wan'er, what's wrong with you? What happened?

Did anyone come here just now? Tell me, who bullied you? I will definitely..."

Wanyan Hongze quickly picked up Du Qingwan and carried her horizontally, his face full of heartache.

He turned and walked to the bed, gently placing Du Qingwan on the bed.

What shocked the three people present was that Du Qingwan was reluctant to let Wanyan Hongze go, and still held him tightly with both hands, with no intention of letting go at all.

"Bugs, there are bugs, there are bugs in my blood..."

She pointed at the bloody handkerchief left on the ground and spoke in a trembling voice.

Her originally clear eyes were now shrouded in deep fear and tension. She subconsciously pressed her head against Wanyan Hongze's chest, rubbing it back and forth nervously.

"insect?"

Wanyan Hongze was stunned for a moment, and his handsome and cold face shifted in the direction of Du Qingwan's finger.

He quietly winked at A Bao beside him, raised his hand and gently stroked Du Qingwan's fragrant and flowing hair, his heart as if it was being cut by a knife.

A Bao understood immediately and bent down to pick up the bloody handkerchief.

The next second, he was nearly frightened to death, his face suddenly changed, and his heart was beating irregularly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Give me the handkerchief!"

Seeing that Abao was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground, Wanyan Hongze glared at him fiercely and scolded him harshly.

"My lord, there are indeed two centipedes on this handkerchief!"

A Bao didn't dare to hide it, and handed the bloody handkerchief to Wanyan Hongze tremblingly, feeling extremely terrified.

"Zhao'er! What on earth is going on? Why is there blood and bugs on this handkerchief? Who did this?"

When Wanyan Hongze saw the two centipede larvae wriggling on the blood handkerchief, he became furious and questioned Zhao'er with a sharp look, as if he was determined not to give up until he found the real culprit.
