Chapter 124 Killing Xie Lingyun

Jiang Qingyue's heart tightened.

"I told you to put on your veil, but look at you! Your soldiers are all fine, but you, the general, are infected with the plague?"

Zhao Cheng and Yang Shizong were also in the tent. When they heard Jiang Qingyue's words, their expressions changed.

Her voice was choked with sobs. "How am I going to explain this to my aunt?"

Xie Lingyun, however, remained calm.

"Don't you already have a cure for the plague?"

“But there are no more herbs!”

Because of her anxiety, her voice suddenly rose.

Xie Lingyun pursed his lips and said nothing, just looking at her with a slightly gloomy gaze.

Jiang Qingyue's heart sank suddenly.

"You, did you do this on purpose?"

"You think too much. I'm not bored."

He looked at the other two people in the tent with a cold gaze and said, "Deputy General Zhao is still in my tent. There is no need for me to joke with other people's lives."

Jiang Qingyue was furious.

Isn't this a joke?

Xie Lingyun was a military general, he was not injured, and his body was not weak. If he had not been infected on purpose, Jiang Qingyue really could not think of any other excuse.

"When will Guard Cang Yi return?"

Jiang Qingyue remembered that Xie Lingyun had instructed Cang Yi to take a few people out to look for Jade Maiden Grass a few days ago.

Before Cang Yi came back, Jiang Qingyue only hoped that she could stabilize Xie Lingyun's condition.

Xie Lingyun shook his head, "I don't know."

"you!"

Jiang Qingyue's eyes were red.

She gritted her teeth, suppressed her anger, and when she calmed down, she immediately turned to Zhao Cheng and the others and said, "You move to my tent. From today on, I will live in the same tent with your general."

Xie Lingyun's brows furrowed.

A man and a woman are living alone in a tent, and she doesn't care about her own innocence?

Jiang Qingyue glared at him unhappily.

It's not that she couldn't understand Xie Lingyun's teasing, she also knew what he was thinking.

clean?

Your life is about to end, and you still care about your innocence?

Zhao Cheng and Yang Shizong knew the importance of the matter and moved out immediately.

In just a moment, all of Jiang Qingyue's things were moved into Xie Lingyun's tent.

Yuxiao was outside the tent, looking worried and wanting to come in to serve, but as expected, she was chased out by Jiang Qingyue.

"Although the plague prescription is effective, the herbs that Manager Sun brought out of the city have all been used up. We've only used it once, and it can only temporarily stabilize the epidemic. If the herbs don't arrive tomorrow, I'm afraid the epidemic will become even more serious."

Jiang Qingyue lowered her voice, "Logically, Shopkeeper Sun should be coming back soon. Go ahead and greet him. If Shopkeeper Sun gets into danger on the way, you can help him."

Yuxiao was still a little worried.

"But Miss..."

Jiang Qingyue shook her head.

"Xie Lingyun and I are in the same tent. Who dares to attack me?"

Yuxiao really stopped talking, but she kept complaining in her heart.

The prince himself has been infected with the plague, how can he protect the young lady?

Not far away, Xu Yan reported this to Chu Hean, who was displeased at first.

Jiang Qingyue is about to become his concubine, and now she is involved with Xie Lingyun.

But when he heard that Xie Lingyun had contracted the plague, Chu Hean burst into laughter again.

"Wasn't Xie Lingyun always so arrogant? How could he be infected with the plague? Now, what's the difference between him and those dying pariahs?"

Xu Yan lowered his head and dared not speak, but he felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

Don't laugh at natural disasters or man-made disasters. Even though Chu Hean is a prince, it is inappropriate for him to say such things.

"It would be better if Xie Lingyun died. Marquis Xuanping relied on his status as a senior official to become annoying in the court. Xie Lingyun relied on his military achievements to be arrogant and even dared to ride on my head."

There was a sinister and vicious look hidden in Chu Hean's eyes.

"Let's take this opportunity to let him die."

After saying that, Chu Hean glanced at Xu Yan.

"No matter what method you use, kill Xie Lingyun."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "It's better to put the blame on Jiang Qingyue, so that the Marquis of Xuanping won't make a fuss and find out about it."

Xu Yan's whole body stiffened.

He gritted his teeth, agreed in a low voice, and then left the tent.

Ever since Chu Hean received the emperor's order to resettle the refugees, if he had taken on more responsibilities, the epidemic would never have become so serious in such a short period of time.

Faced with such a situation outside the city, he not only embezzled money and refused to send medicine and food, but also committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

However, Xie Lingyun took his men to hunt and cooked meat soup to fill everyone's stomachs so that they would not starve to death before the plague.

Although Xu Yan is Chu Hean's man, Ke Xin has long been inclined towards Xie Lingyun.

He respected Xie Lingyun and was unwilling to kill him.

Jiang Qingyue had saved his life twice, so it was even less likely that he would drag his benefactor into trouble.

But according to Chu Hean's temper, even if he doesn't do it, he will let others do it.

Xu Yan clenched his fists and had already made a decision in his heart.

He must tell Xie Lingyun and Jiang Qingyue about this.

Xie Lingyun's tent was surrounded by guards, and Xu Yan couldn't get close at all.

Even after waiting for half a day, Jiang Qingyue still didn't leave the tent, and he couldn't even see her.

Xu Yan endured it and could only use this as an excuse to report to Chu Hean, but he could not avoid being scolded again.

In the tent, Xie Lingyun's body became heavier and heavier, and he could only lie down and watch from afar.

Jiang Qingyue was preparing medicinal herbs on the other side, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead due to her anxiety.

In a trance, Xie Lingyun seemed to be back to the first time he saw Jiang Qingyue, that shabby-dressed woman who timidly called him cousin...

"...I'm going to give my cousin an acupuncture injection. It will be a little painful, please bear with it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver needle in Jiang Qingyue's hand fell.

The pain from the needle made Xie Lingyun sober up a little. He looked at the woman in front of him and frowned.

"Weren't you just dispensing medicine over there?"

Jiang Qingyue looked back and her heart sank.

"That was half an hour ago."

Xie Lingyun was a little dazed.

It happened half an hour ago, but he felt like it was just a blink of an eye.

Jiang Qingyue remained calm and continued to give acupuncture to Xie Lingyun, but her heart was already in turmoil.

This is exactly the case with more seriously ill patients in the later stages of the plague, who may show signs of trance.

Xie Lingyun has only been here for a day, how come his condition is so serious?

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat. She tore open Xie Lingyun's clothes and saw an untreated wound on his arm.

"Why didn't you tell me you were hurt?"

Jiang Qingyue was so angry that her eyes turned red.

He had been injured for at least ten days, and had been outside the city for seven or eight days.

So, he was infected with the disease seven or eight days ago?

Xie Lingyun glanced at it casually, with a perfunctory tone, not taking it seriously at all.

"I got hurt accidentally while suppressing the bandits that day. I've already applied medicine myself."

"This place is full of plague patients, what's the use of your medicine!"

Jiang Qingyue helped him clean and disinfect the wound, applied medicine, and stayed by his side for most of the night before Xie Lingyun's pulse got better.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion in the camp.

Jiang Qingyue got up and just walked out of the tent when she saw Yuxiao running towards her.

"Miss, it's Shopkeeper Sun who's back."
