Chapter 232 Strange Disease

"Miss Nanxing, are you working in Prince Shuo's palace now? Have you sold your indenture to the palace?" After sitting down, Xu Qingyan asked the question that concerned her most. Doctor Xuan and the others also all looked at Nanxing.

"I was originally a servant hired by Prince Shuo's mansion. I didn't need to sell my indenture. But later I was sent to serve the concubine. The concubine insisted on having our indenture, otherwise she would dismiss us. Thinking of my sick mother, I sold my indenture. Now it should be in the hands of the concubine." Nanxing said slowly.

"Nanxing, Grandfather will give you some silver, and you can go find the concubine to redeem your indenture. Now that Grandfather is back, you don't have to worry about your mother's illness. We can never sell ourselves into slavery, and Grandfather will take good care of you and your daughter in the future, so you don't have to worry." Doctor Xuan said with concern.

How could his good granddaughter sell herself as a slave?

But Xu Qingyan and Pei Jingchuan frowned, looked at each other, and then looked at Nanxing at the same time.

Nan Xing was in a dilemma, her brows slightly furrowed. After a while, she said worriedly, "Grandfather, I'm afraid that it won't be so easy for the concubine to give me the indenture."

"Why? Can't you redeem it with silver? It's not like you're asking for it for free." Doctor Xuan didn't know much about Xu Qingyue's affairs, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Nan Xing lowered her eyebrows and said, "Recently, the Concubine has been very wary of me. She is afraid that I will seduce Prince Shuo, and she especially likes to take it out on me. In this situation, she will definitely not be willing to let me go free. If she lets me go, the Concubine will definitely not feel at ease."

"How can this concubine have such a bad heart! What about Nanxing, did she bully you? Princess, I have never asked you for anything, but this time I would like to ask for your help to rescue Nanxing from the palace!" Doctor Xuan first asked Nanxing with concern, then looked at Xu Qingyan and the others pleadingly.

Now, since he is not an official, he naturally cannot help his granddaughter and can only ask for help from Xu Qingyan and others.

Xu Qingyan and the others naturally would not refuse Divine Doctor Xuan, especially after hearing what Nan Xing said, she quickly thought of a solution, she smiled and looked at Divine Doctor Xuan, and said: "Divine Doctor, do you have any medicine here that can make people look like they have a strange disease? It can make people ugly and weak, and it looks like it is contagious."

"Princess, what does this mean?" Doctor Xuan looked at Xu Qingyan in confusion. He had always been practicing medicine to save lives, and few people asked him for this kind of medicine.

"Of course it's to help your granddaughter. Didn't Miss Nanxing say that the Concubine is on guard against her seducing Prince Shuo? It must be because the Concubine thinks she is pretty. If at this time, Miss Nanxing gets a strange disease and becomes ugly, and there seems to be a risk of infection, do you think the Concubine will keep her by her side?" A hint of cunning appeared on Xu Qingyan's face.

She knew that Xu Qingyue was such a selfish person, and if Nan Xing really became like this, she would definitely be the first one to be driven away by her.

When Doctor Xuan and the others heard this, their eyes lit up instantly and they said with a happy smile: "Sure, I can research this medicine!"

After a few days, red rashes began to appear on Nanxing's face. They were so densely packed that if you didn't think about it carefully, you would have thought they were acne.

At first, Xu Qingyue was somewhat happy and laughed at her for becoming ugly, which also made her more assured that Nanxing would not attract the attention of Prince Shuo. But unexpectedly, the acne on Nanxing's face grew more and more in the next few days, and she even coughed, which made Xu Qingyue panic and scared.

"Bitch, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go to see a doctor?" Xu Qingyue asked with disgust as she kicked Nanxing away from her side.

Nan Xing knelt on the ground in fear and cried, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been taking medicine, but I don't know why I haven't gotten better yet."

"Nanxing, you don't have smallpox, do you? Is it contagious?"

"Yes! I see that you look a bit like smallpox, which is a contagious disease. How dare you come to serve the queen when you have this disease? Do you want to infect everyone?"

At this time, the other two maids who were serving Xu Qingyue couldn't help but guess.

Xu Qingyue was immediately alarmed when she heard this. She looked at Nanxing even more unkindly and said, "Bitch, what is wrong with you? Is it smallpox?"

Nan Xing naturally pretended to be scared and refused to admit it. She tried her best to defend herself: "No...it's not smallpox, Madam, mine is not smallpox. If it was smallpox, I would definitely...cough cough!"

As she spoke, she started coughing violently again, which frightened Xu Qingyue even more. She didn't want this slave to infect her with the disease.

"You'd better leave quickly, and don't pass on this strange disease to me! Come, kick Nanxing out of the palace and don't let her come back!" So Xu Qingyue shouted and asked people to drive Nanxing away.

Nan Xing naturally refused to leave because she didn't get her indenture. She pretended not to want to leave, knelt on the ground, and said, "Please don't chase me away, Madam! My indenture has already been sold to you. I am yours, please don't chase me away! My illness will definitely be cured, and I want to stay by your side!"

At this time, Xu Qingyue was disgusted to death, but now seeing Nanxing like this, she was no longer worried that she would threaten her position, so she quickly sent someone to get Nanxing's indenture.

"Hurry up and leave! I'm going to return your indenture to you! When the time comes, whether you're dead or alive out there will have nothing to do with me, so don't come and cause trouble for me! Hurry up and leave!" Xu Qingyue threw the indenture in front of Nanxing with disgust.

In Daxia, if a slave who sold herself died outside, the government would send her back to her original master. Xu Qingyue was afraid that she would be contaminated, so naturally she threw the indenture to her.

Nan Xing was overjoyed when she saw her indenture, but she couldn't show it, so she deliberately picked up the indenture, moved closer to Xu Qingyue, and said, "No... Madam, I am yours, and my indenture has already been sold to you, you can't abandon me!"

She looked like she was going to stuff the indenture into Xu Qingyue's hands, which frightened Xu Qingyue so much that she stepped back, only to run into a strong embrace.

"What are you doing? What happened?" Prince Shuo asked with a frown.

"Prince, you are here! It's this slave girl. She has contracted a strange disease. I'm afraid of being infected, so I want to drive her away." Xu Qingyue said gently when she saw Prince Shuo.

When Nanxing saw that it was Prince Shuo, she knelt there and cried.

"Have you got a strange disease?" Prince Shuo was a little puzzled. He looked at Nanxing and saw that her face was covered with red rashes. He felt a little disgusted.

"Just kick you out, don't be an eyesore here!" He said indifferently. She was just a servant.

Everyone in the palace was afraid of Prince Shuo, so Nanxing stopped pretending and just lowered her head and walked out crying.

Prince Shuo seldom paid attention to the servants in the mansion, and naturally he was not very familiar with Nanxing. Whenever he had something to do, he would usually tell the housekeeper and ask them to instruct the servants.

At this moment, when Nanxing walked past him, he glanced at her face. Although there were many rashes on her face, her facial features gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
