Chapter 85 Your Highness, You Hurt Me

After Xiao Ji finished speaking, he took a step back and ordered no one to get close to Pei Chen.

Seeing Xiao Ji's expression as if facing a great enemy, Pei Chen also thought of something, so he just stood there obediently and kept a distance from everyone.

Although Nanzhou had Pei Chen to take precautions, there were still not enough doctors. Even when Si Nan went to look for people, he arrived a little late.

"Pay attention to protection."

Xiao Ji reminded, smelling the scent coming from the wind, and silently moved to another position.

Pei Chen's eyes twitched as he watched: Does Your Highness have a dog nose?

The doctor hung a clean handkerchief on his face and began to examine him.

After a long while, he turned pale and spoke with great difficulty, "Your Highness, Lord, it seems like... an epidemic."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Ji then realized that in just a short while, Pei Chen, who originally had an ugly expression on his face, had his cheeks flushed red.

The doctor touched it with his hand and said, "I'm afraid the Marquis has already..."

"It needs to be treated and investigated!"

Xiao Ji's expression was very ugly.

Although there are many people in the entire Nanzhou, they have tried their best to keep it clean in order to avoid epidemics after the disaster.

In addition, every day, medicine for strengthening the body was boiled and distributed to the people, and places soaked in dirty water were sprinkled with wood ash.

Xiao Ji didn't think things were that simple.

"Set aside a place to house the people infected with the plague, and summon all the doctors in the city to discuss the matter."

“…”

Orders were issued in an orderly manner from the courtyard.

You don’t know until you check, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Many people in the city had already caught a fever. After the doctors examined them, they found that they had an epidemic, so they were all transferred to one place.

According to the prescriptions written by the doctors, stoves were lit everywhere in the city, and medicine to prevent the epidemic was kept boiling to ensure that the people could drink it every day.

Zhao Ying had already transferred medicinal herbs from the cities around Nanzhou, and the herbs were enough to solve the urgent problem.

Thanks to Xiao Ji's keen perception and Zhao Ying's thorough preparation, the spread of the epidemic was quickly brought under control.

However, the disease progresses very quickly in patients who have already been infected.

That night, Pei Chen fell into a coma and lost consciousness...

"Your Highness."

Si Nan's expression was very ugly. "I took people to check the affected areas, and found that..."

"The center is the residence of His Highness and the Marquis."

…

There is an epidemic in Nanzhou!

The news spread to the capital at an extremely fast speed, and that night, the emperor summoned several ministers to the palace to discuss matters.

The next morning, several imperial doctors boarded a ship heading south.

This is a serious matter.

The emperor ordered it to be kept secret.

But somehow, by early morning the news had spread throughout the capital and everyone knew it.

Once the news spread, Xie Yao naturally couldn't hide it.

"Princess."

Zhu Xin looked at Xie Yao with concern, "Don't worry too much, the news that came in didn't mention His Highness."

"I think His Highness is safe and sound..."

Zhu Xin's voice gradually became quieter.

Xie Yao was indeed a little worried, fearing that Xiao Ji would die like this.

She had confidence in Xiao Ji despite the open and covert attacks, but the epidemic... was beyond human control.

The time was too short, and she had not yet built up enough power. If something really happened to Xiao Ji, she and her child would probably be plotted to death by the imperial concubine.

"I'm going to Nanzhou." Xie Yao already had a plan in mind and said it in a loud voice.

She is a fertility saint with a strong recovery ability and has rarely been sick since childhood.

No matter how Xiao Ning and Song Wenbo abused her in her previous life, she recovered extremely quickly, which made the two perverts beat her even harder.

"Crown Princess!" Zhu Xin immediately objected, "How can that be possible? You still..."

Zhuqing has the same meaning.

The Crown Princess now has a double body.

"I'll go by myself." Xie Yao didn't plan to take Zhuxin and Zhuqing with her. She was confident in her physical condition.

Zhuxin and Zhuqing knelt down immediately.

Finally, with the insistence of the two, Zhuxin guarded the capital, while Zhuqing and Linxia stayed with Xie Yao.

Xie Yao also brought the palace doctor, as well as a number of the prince's soldiers and medicinal materials, and headed south under the protection of Princess Yongle's mansion.

There is no news about His Highness.

It was a fact that Pei Chen was ill, and Princess Yongle originally wanted to go, but was stopped by the emperor himself.

Princess Yongle's closest nanny was appointed to go south in her place.

When Xie Yao got on the boat, she found that there was one more person on board - Xiao Ning.

Xiao Ning had originally been raising funds for the people in the south, and this time, after Xie Yao proposed going south, he also decided to go south.

On the deck, the two men looked at each other, smiling without showing any emotion, but in fact, there was ulterior motive in their eyes.

Three days later.

The fleet arrived safely in Nanzhou.

Nanzhou had received the letter long ago and someone was already waiting at the ferry.

Xie Yao was supported by Zhu Qing and stood on the deck. She looked towards the ferry and saw a tall figure standing there at a glance.

Xie Yao let out a long sigh.

As long as His Highness is safe, she and the child will be safe too.

But apart from that, she felt an inexplicable sense of joy in her heart.

It made her feel a little dizzy.

As soon as the boat reached the shore, Xie Yao was about to get off the boat, and Xiao Ji's voice rang out, "Yaoyao, stop."

Xie Yao raised her eyes in surprise, her watery eyes seemed to only see Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji lowered his voice slightly, his throat rolled slightly, and looked at the person he thought about day and night with burning eyes, "There is an epidemic in Nanzhou, and it is coming with great force. You... just stay on the boat."

He didn't want to put his Crown Princess in danger.

Xie Yao could see that the concern and worry in Xiao Ji's eyes were very real.

but……

She took a decisive step forward and walked towards Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji wanted to step back and keep a distance from the Crown Princess, but when he saw the boat shaking, Xie Yao also tilted a bit.

His body reacted faster and he held Xie Yao's arm steadily.

Next second.

He was rushed into someone's arms.

Xie Yao hugged his waist tightly and refused to let go, burying her head in his chest, her muffled voice full of grievance, "Your Highness, don't you miss me after not seeing me for such a long time?"

Xiao Ji's throat rolled and he subconsciously exerted force on the hands that were around Xie Yao's waist.

How could I not want to?

His dreams were all about her.

"Nanzhou is in danger." Thousands of words finally turned into just four words.

Xie Yao looked up at him, her eyes sparkling, "Then I want to be with Your Highness too."

Today the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is gentle, and the spring breeze blows across the river, rippling the water.

There were huge waves in Xiao Ji's heart. After his heart missed a beat, it began beating rapidly and violently, as if it was going to jump out of his chest.

At this moment, he just wanted to hold the person in his arms tighter and tighter, and rub her into his bones and blood.

"Your Highness." Xie Yao's voice sounded a little aggrieved, "You hurt me."
