Chapter 119 Don’t take your anger out on me next time

"Are you still laughing?"

Xie Lingyun lowered his body, with the coldness that Jiang Qingyue was most familiar with.

He was really a little angry.

Jiang Qingyue took two steps back and put away her smile, worry appearing in her almond-shaped eyes.

"The epidemic is more severe than I imagined. From yesterday till now, more than 20 people have been infected."

Xie Lingyun's expression was expressionless, as if he had known it for a long time.

"Don't we already have the Jade Maiden Grass?"

"There are only five plants. How many people can they cure?"

Jiang Qingyue frowned deeply. "Besides, the herbs I brought with me are about to run out. Even a cart of Jade Maiden Grass won't be of any use then."

Carrying such a huge pressure on his shoulders, even Xie Lingyun himself would be annoyed, not to mention Jiang Qingyue, a weak woman.

"I heard that you've already sent people to Suiyang and Wanzhou to buy medicinal herbs. According to the schedule, they should be back in the next few days."

He picked up the piece of paper next to the Jade Maiden Grass and looked at the characteristics of the medicinal material written in delicate small calligraphy on it.

"With this medicinal herb, how confident are you that you can cure the plague?"

Jiang Qingyue almost blurted out.

"Eighty percent."

"100%. The epidemic is getting worse and worse. You have to be 100% sure."

After saying that, Xie Lingyun put the piece of paper away.

"Is there any other place around here that can produce this medicinal herb? I'll send someone to look for it."

Jiang Qingyue only knew about Yanlai Mountain.

However, Yuxiao, Cangyi and the others had already searched around and only found five plants, so they thought there was no need to go to Yanlai Mountain again.

"The Jade Maiden Grass loves the sun and cannot tolerate cold. If you want to find this medicinal herb, you can either go to a warmer place over there or ask a herbalist to buy it."

Xie Lingyun nodded, "Okay, I understand."

He clearly didn't promise anything, but Jiang Qingyue felt inexplicably at ease.

She moved her lips, but before she could express her gratitude, Xie Lingyun came over again.

Her heart clenched, and she didn't understand what Xie Lingyun was going to do.

"Next time you're angry, don't take it out on me."

Jiang Qingyue pursed her lips and suppressed her smile.

"I understand, cousin."

She softened her tone, and the ending was long, like a light feather, passing across his heart.

"you……"

The hoarse pronunciation made him purse his lips.

"cousin?"

Jiang Qingyue had been teasing Xie Lingyun on purpose just now, but now that she saw that he had something to say, she put her thoughts aside.

She returned to her usual cold voice, and Xie Lingyun quickly suppressed the strange yet familiar throbbing and calmed himself down.

"That Beili doctor is probably not an ordinary person."

Jiang Qingyue nodded, "I guessed it."

Xie Lingyun's eyebrows furrowed, "How did you guess that?"

"So many days have passed, and these people haven't left, nor have they made any moves. I'm afraid they have a bigger agenda. Or perhaps, they already don't want to live anymore. But if they don't want to live anymore, why worry about that person's life or death?"

After saying this, Jiang Qingyue suddenly frowned.

"So I guess that person's status must be quite high."

Xie Lingyun raised the corner of his lips, "His status is indeed not low."

Not seeing her respond, Xie Lingyun asked curiously, "Don't you want to know who he is?"

Jiang Qingyue raised her eyes and said, "If you wanted to say it, you should have said it just now. Why did you ask me? And if I asked, would you tell me, cousin?"

Xie Lingyun chuckled, "You're not stupid, so why am I always the one being bullied in the Jiang family?"

Jiang Qingyue's eyes darkened slightly.

She was bullied in the Jiang family because she was not loved by her parents and had only her sickly older sister to support her.

She had no power, so she was bullied.

In this situation, no matter how she resisted, the Jiang family would think she was undisciplined and it would be of no benefit to her.

Besides, she didn't want to make her elder sister worry.

After all, he is the only person in the Jiang family who treats her well.

Xie Lingyun kept staring at her, and clearly saw the surging emotions in her eyes gradually become calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

He felt indescribably upset and opened his mouth, but the words that came to his lips turned into the words he didn't want to tell her.

"That's a prince from Beili."

Jiang Qingyue's heart sank suddenly.

No wonder these people are so nervous about him, he turns out to be a prince?

"Then... do you want him to die?"

"Yes. He must die."

After saying this, Xie Lingyun looked at her deeply before turning and leaving.

"Miss."

Yu Xiao, who had just left, stood outside the curtain and called out to her. Jiang Qingyue walked out quickly and first saw Xie Lingyun, who had already walked away, explaining something to Cang Yi.

The two men were standing not far from the medical tent.

She frowned.

Xie Lingyun has always been cautious in doing things, so why would he choose that position? It was as if he wanted others to hear it on purpose.

"Miss, that foreigner is dying."

The sound of the jade flute brought Jiang Qingyue back to her senses.

Jiang Qingyue looked towards the medical tent and saw a few people there with excited expressions, pointing in this direction from time to time, but they were stopped by Chu Hean's guards.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Yuxiao was a little worried.

"Miss, let this servant follow you this time."

Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "No need. Chu Hean and Xie Lingyun are here now. They wouldn't dare to attack me so blatantly. Besides, I'm the only one who can save them now. If anything happens to me, none of us will survive."

When she arrived at the doctor's tent, she saw that the Gentile was breathing more than he was breathing in.

"Save him!"

As soon as one harsh voice finished speaking, another one shouted impatiently.

"If you can't save her, you will..."

But before he could finish his words, he was pulled by the person next to him.

He realized it later and could only shut his mouth, but those vicious eyes were still staring at Jiang Qingyue.

It seemed that as long as one of their people died, Jiang Qingyue would pay with his life.

Although he could have been killed earlier, Jiang Qingyue did not choose to do it at this time. Instead, she gave him acupuncture to stabilize his condition. It seemed as if she had saved his life.

The two foreigners who were taking care of him breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes met, but then they looked away tacitly, not knowing what they were planning in their minds.

Not far away, in the medical tent where the patients' conditions were less serious, the remaining few foreigners were also secretly watching this side.

Because they were at a distance, Jiang Qingyue couldn't look back openly, but she knew that these people's eyes were fixed on her.

They didn't look away until the two foreigners beside them showed gratitude to Jiang Qingyue.

Jiang Qingyue examined other patients in the medical tent and then left as if nothing had happened.

After returning to the tent, she found out that Xie Lingyun had already sent Cang Yi to look for the Jade Maiden Grass.

"This servant is incompetent and cannot help the young lady relieve her worries."

Jiang Qingyue shook her head. "You have helped me a lot by finding these."

She rested for a while and then went back to the carriage.

But just by staying next to the carriage, before even lifting the curtain, he could smell a disgusting stench.
