The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

Soon, they arrived at the cave.

The moon is bright in the night sky.

There was only one candle lit in the cave, and the candle flame was swaying in the wind like a devil with bared fangs and claws.

Chen Deyong was lying on the ground, covered with a black quilt, but no matter how Lin Yulong shouted, he did not respond.

When Lin Yulong saw Xu Yangyang calling Old Man Xu over, he looked at him with a somewhat excited expression, "Old man, come and take a look, he, he..."

Old Man Xu didn't say anything. He squatted on the ground and put his hand on Chen Deyong's wrist to take his pulse.

However, after taking the pulse with both hands, Old Man Xu could not feel any pulse at all.

Old Man Xu sighed heavily and looked at Lin Yulong, "Yulong, he...is dead."

"What?" Lin Yulong widened his eyes and looked at Old Man Xu in disbelief.

When he asked Xu Yangyang to call Old Man Xu, he already knew that Chen Deyong was dead, but he could not accept this fact, so he asked Xu Yangyang to call Old Man Xu.

I hope Old Man Xu can tell him some good news.

Therefore, Old Man Xu's words completely shattered his last hope.

Lin Yulong's eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "Old sir, are we, are we going to die too? Old sir, I don't want to die..."

He hadn't married yet, had children yet, and hadn't yet taken care of his parents. He didn't want to die, he just wanted to live...

Old Man Xu didn't say anything.

They drank the medicine twice today. The first time they drank it, they regained their appetite and were able to eat. The second time they drank it, they didn't show any symptoms and looked normal. However, what Old Man Xu didn't expect was that Chen Deyong died at this time!

He now began to doubt whether his final prescription was effective and whether they were just experiencing a last gasp of life.

Old man Xu held his head in his arms, frowned, and looked at Chen Deyong who had closed his eyes forever.

He didn't know what to do. He thought he could cure him, he really thought he could cure him, but he didn't expect that he would...

Xu Yangyang's voice came, "Grandpa, will Brother Yulong and I really die like Grandpa Chen?"

Old Man Xu put his hand down dejectedly. He glanced at Xu Yangyang standing next to him before saying, "I..."

He was full of confidence that he could cure them and that this prescription would be useful this time, but unexpectedly, Chen Deyong died!

He really didn't know how to answer Xu Yangyang now.

Seeing that Old Man Xu was not in good condition, Lin Yulong suppressed his sadness and said, "Old man, maybe he was too old and couldn't bear it anymore, so he passed away. Don't blame yourself. I believe in you. You will definitely be able to cure me and Yangyang."

Old man Xu glanced at Lin Yulong opposite him, sighed, and said nothing.

Lin Yulong added, "Old man, it must be his own fault. I don't blame you. You've done a great job. Besides, there's nothing unusual between Yangyang and me right now. It must be because he's old and couldn't handle it anymore. It has nothing to do with you."

The fact is, Lin Yulong and Xu Yangyang's mental state is indeed much better than yesterday.

This proves that the medicine developed by Old Man Xu is useful.

Old man Xu blamed himself for not being able to cure Chen Deyong.

He had clearly promised Chen Deyong that he would cure him, but he never thought...

Old Man Xu didn't respond. He said, "Let's carry him out first. We'll bury him tomorrow when Zizhou arrives."

Lin Yulong said, "He's from Liuhe County and can't be buried here. He wants to return to his roots. That's what he told me yesterday."

Old Man Xu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Lin Yulong and asked, "What did you say?"

Lin Yulong explained, "He probably felt that he was dying. He told me yesterday that if he died, he must be buried back in Liuhe County. So, we can't bury him here."

"Okay." Old man Xu didn't say anything else. He and Lin Yulong carried Chen Deyong's body outside and covered him with a quilt. Only then did Lin Yulong suddenly realize that Old man Xu had not taken any protective measures!

Lin Yulong pointed at Old Man Xu, looking horrified. "Old man, why aren't you wearing a mask or oilskin clothes?"

Old Man Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "I left in a hurry and didn't wear it. Since the medicine I have developed is effective, even if I am infected, I can be cured. You don't have to worry."

"Brother Yulong, we don't know when we'll be able to return to Liuhe County. What if Grandpa Chen's body gets stinky if it's left here?"

Xu Yangyang's voice came from behind Old Man Xu.

Lin Yulong was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was indeed a problem.

Old Man Xu said, "Let's bury him here first, and then move his grave back to Liuhe County after a while. He still has the plague in him. If he were to rot here, it would smell. What if the smell spread out and infected other people? We would be gravely sinners then."

Lin Yulong nodded and said, "Okay, bury him tomorrow."

……

The next day, around noon, Song Zizhou brought lunch to Old Man Xu and the others.

When Old Man Xu saw Song Zizhou, he immediately told him that Chen Deyong had died.

After hearing this, Song Zizhou's eyes showed obvious surprise, "He died? Was it because of the medicine or..."

Old Man Xu said, "He must have been too old to fight the plague in his body, so he passed away."

"What about Lin Yulong and that kid?" Song Zizhou asked hurriedly.

Old Man Xu said, "They are both fine and in much better spirits."

"Then this proves that the medicine you developed is effective. It's just that he's too old and his body can't handle it." Song Zizhou comforted him, "It's not your fault, old man. Don't blame yourself."

Old Man Xu turned around and looked at the medicine in front of him. "If the prescription I first researched was useful, they wouldn't have been delayed for so long, and he wouldn't have died!"

Old Man Xu was a doctor who practiced medicine to save lives. In his eyes, he did not want to see any death, so when he saw Chen Deyong die, he was really sad and blamed himself.

When Song Zizhou heard what Old Man Xu said, he knew that he was feeling extremely guilty.

He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just said, "The meal is here, old man. Please eat first. I'll go and take the meal away."

"Yes." Old Man Xu nodded. He glanced at Song Zizhou and said, "Then you go and take him there first. Come back later to get the medicine. Then we'll bury him first."

When Old Man Xu said these words, his voice was choked with sobs.

Song Zizhou put down the meal, glanced at Old Man Xu, and left with the lunch box.
