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

When Song Zizhou delivered the meal to the entrance of the cave, he saw a bed and bedding covered on the ground on the right. He knew without thinking that the person covered must be Chen Deyong's body.

Song Zizhou entered the cave, gave them the food, and then said, "Outside is..."

Lin Yulong nodded, "Yes, Brother Zizhou, it's him."

Song Zizhou didn't say anything else, fearing that Lin Yulong and the others would be unhappy. He sat on a rock on the side and waited until they had finished their meal before putting the bowls they had eaten from into his lunch box.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Yulong's voice rang out from behind him, "Brother Zizhou, the old man came over last night, but he wasn't wearing that oilcloth coat, nor was he wearing a mask. I'm worried about him..."

Hearing this, Song Zizhou's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Lin Yulong in shock, "Why isn't he wearing oilskin clothes or a mask? Didn't I tell him before that he had to wear these?"

Lin Yulong said, "He said he left in a hurry. Anyway, it has already happened now. There is no point in saying more."

"Ah."

Song Zizhou nodded, glanced at Lin Yulong, and left.

Returning to Old Man Xu's tent, Song Zizhou put down the lunch box and looked at Old Man Xu. "Old man, why weren't you wearing oilskin clothes last night? Why weren't you wearing a mask? Do you know that what you did was very dangerous?"

Old Man Xu was the only doctor in their team. Of course, Song Zizhou didn't care about this, but Old Man Xu. He had been with them for a long time and had long regarded him as a partner.

If he was infected due to his behavior last night, and treatment was ineffective, then he would have no choice but to...

Song Zizhou already regarded him as a partner and didn't want to see anything happen to him.

That's why he asked Old Man Xu in a questioning tone.

Old Man Xu looked at Song Zizhou and said, "Yangyang came to see me last night, but I was a little anxious and forgot about it. But now I have developed the medicine. I will drink it now so that I won't be infected. Zizhou, don't worry about me."

He is old and if he really dies, that is his fate and he will not blame anyone.

Song Zizhou pinched his eyebrows. He knew that now that things had already happened, no matter what he said, it was too late.

Taking a deep breath, Song Zizhou stopped dwelling on what happened last night. He looked at Old Man Xu and said, "Let's go bury Old Chen first."

"Row!"

Old Man Xu put down the medicine in his hand, immediately picked up the hoe, and left with Song Zizhou.

They came to a flat area outside the cave. Because Old Man Xu was old, Song Zizhou did not let him dig.

He took the hoe and dug for half an incense stick of time, and almost dug a large rectangular hole.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Song Zizhou and Old Man Xu went outside the cave and lifted Chen Deyong up.

When Chen Deyong died, he had not recovered, so there was a high chance that he could infect others. Therefore, when Song Zizhou was carrying him, he did not dare to touch his skin and directly lifted him up by a corner of the bedding.

At the entrance of the cave, Xu Yangyang saw Song Zizhou and the others carrying Chen Deyong away and burst into tears. "Brother Yulong, is Grandpa Chen really dead like this?"

Lin Yulong glanced at Xu Yangyang, squatted on the ground, and held Xu Yangyang in his arms. "He just went to a very far place. We will never see him again."

Xu Yangyang said, "Brother Yulong, please don't lie to me. Dad said that when a person dies, they are dead and will never come back. He also said that I will never see them again."

Lin Yulong sighed, "Yangyang, just think of him as having gone somewhere very, very far away."

Chen Deyong, Lin Yulong, and Xu Yangyang are from the same clan, but Xu Yangyang and Lin Yulong's father married into the family.

So Xu Yangyang has known Chen Deyong since she was a child, and knows that he is a very kind and gentle old man, and a really nice person.

So Xu Yangyang couldn't accept the death of someone she was familiar with.

But now, the person is gone. What can he do even if he can't accept it?

Xu Yangyang shed tears of sadness. After wiping the tears from his face, he looked at Lin Yulong beside him and said, "Brother Yulong, mother said that after people die, they will turn into stars in the sky. Is this true?"

Lin Yulong pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, it's true."

Xu Yangyang raised his head and looked at the sky.

It is daytime now, but there are no stars in the sky. They can only be seen at night.

After Song Zizhou and his men buried Chen Deyong, they came to Lin Yulong.

Song Zizhou said, "He has been buried. You two should rest well. Don't worry. The old man will definitely be able to cure you."

Lin Yulong nodded, "Brother Zizhou, I understand. Don't worry, we will wait patiently for the old man to cure us."

"Well, it's getting late. I'll go back first." After Song Zizhou said that, he called Old Man Xu to leave together.

After returning to the tent, Song Zizhou took the food box, said hello to Old Man Xu, and rode his horse back to Pingyang County.

Arriving at Song Yao's room, Song Zizhou sat on a bench and looked at her solemnly. "Chen Deyong is dead. He died last night. I just buried him with the old man."

Hearing this, Song Yao's face also showed a surprised expression, "Dead? How could he die?"

Song Zizhou explained, "Didn't the plague come on too quickly? The medicine probably hadn't fully taken effect on him yet, so he died."

Song Yao really didn't expect that Chen Deyong was dead!

She thought that as long as the medicine took effect, the person would be fine, but she didn't know that he still died in the end.

However, Chen Deyong's condition has always been very serious. Even if Old Man Xu's medicine is miraculous, he will not be able to recover in such a short time.

If this happens, those who are seriously ill may not have a chance to recover.

Only those with mild symptoms have a chance of recovery.

Song Yao asked, "How are Xu Yangyang and the others doing?"

Song Zizhou shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't ask. But they both look better than yesterday. The medicine must be working for them."

Just then, Su Zhen came to Song Yao's room.

Seeing that Song Zizhou had returned, he casually asked, "Zizhou, you're back."

Song Zizhou nodded and looked at Su Zhen. "Mom, didn't I say I brought back three people infected with the plague? The older one, Chen Deyong, died last night."

Su Zhen, who had just sat next to Song Yao, was surprised. "What did you say? He died? How could this happen?"

Song Zizhou repeated to Su Zhen what he had just explained to Song Yao.

After listening to this, Su Zhen sighed, "Then it's not the old man's fault. His condition was too serious, and there was no time for treatment, so he died."
