Chapter 88 Dowry



Seeing Ning Xihua was speechless, Su Bi lowered her head and laughed, and stopped teasing her.

"Huai Liu only suffered minor injuries, nothing serious, you don't have to worry."

Ning Xihua breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Su Bi was dissatisfied, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Ning Xihua saw that he pouted and there was a bit of grievance in his eyes. She felt amused but at the same time, a warm current flowed through her.

She waved her hand to signal him to come closer, "Come here."

Su Bi obediently took two steps towards her.

"Come closer."

Su Bi took two more steps forward.

Seeing that they were about the right distance, Ning Xihua immediately stood up and dived into his arms.

"Su Bi, I miss you so much."

Su Bi hugged her tightly, lowered her eyelashes, and her eyes were gentle.

"Me too."

Ning Xihua hugged Su Bi, and her heart, which had been anxious since the outbreak of the epidemic, felt as if it was gently wrapped by someone and completely calmed down.

She knew that as long as Su Bi was there, all problems could be solved.

This is the sense of security that Su Bi brings her.

The two hugged each other for quite a while before separating. When they separated, Su Bi looked a little unhappy.

Ning Xihua pretended not to see it, pulled him to sit on the couch, and asked him about things in the capital.

"I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive."

Su Bi naturally held her hand and said, "I only brought 3,000 cavalrymen ahead, and the main force is still behind. It will arrive in a few days."

Although he didn't say it, Ning Xihua saw that his face was full of fatigue and she knew in her heart that he must have traveled day and night and hurried to reach Yizhou ahead of time.

"Now that you have come in person, what about the capital?"

I think she didn't allow Su Bi to come because she was worried that Su Bi was not in the capital and would be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

Su Bi held her soft hand in a nonchalant manner and said softly, "It's okay. Prince Ning has already returned to the capital. With him watching, those people dare not act rashly."

Hearing that the old man had returned safely, her biggest worry was gone.

When she heard Su Bi say that he learned about Su Xu's possible mischief through Lin Mengli, she sighed even more.

Unexpectedly, her willful idea of ​​​​making Lin Mengli and Su Xu fight with each other inadvertently helped her.

If Lin Mengli had not been saved at that time, Su Bi had not obtained accurate information, and the old man had not led his troops back to Beijing in advance, then even if Su Bi and the old man came to rescue Yizhou later, Yizhou might have become a dead city long ago.

Always leave some room for others so that you can meet again in the future.

Although she and Xiao Baihua were at war to the death and there was no point for them to meet again, the clue she left behind became a ray of hope for Yizhou.

"It seems that Lin Mengli really can't move for the time being. I always feel that with her around, she may bring us some unexpected surprises from Su Xu."

After all, they are the male and female protagonists of the original book, so there must be some kind of mysterious bond between them. And since he holds Lin Mengli's lifeblood in his hands, Su Xu might be afraid to act rashly at the critical moment.

Of course, the premise is that Su Xu doesn't know that he is being cuckolded. Ning Xihua thought with some schadenfreude.

Su Bi didn't care how Ning Xihua dealt with Lin Mengli. He only cared about the fact that this conspiracy almost caused harm to Ning Xihua again.

"This plague was probably led by Su Xu, but Su Han was probably involved as well."

Indeed, the plague was not only aimed at her, but more like it was aimed at the entire Ningfu and Yizhou.

If something happens in Ningfu and Yizhou, Beijiang and Yizhou cannot be taken care of at the same time, and the old man on the front line will inevitably be affected.

It must be because all the spies in the Ning Family Army were pulled out and Su Xu was unable to fulfill the agreement with He Louqing, so he resorted to this desperate measure, hoping to disturb the old man and bring down the Ning Family Army.

If something happens to her again, her marriage to Su Bi will naturally be called off, and the old man is likely to turn against Su Bi, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"This method of killing people without achieving the goal is indeed exactly the same as Su Xu's sinister plan to sacrifice 150,000 soldiers in order to gain military power, but what about Su Han?"

Su Bi explained her doubts, "I have sent people to interrogate the remaining two people who fanned the flames on the day the city was closed. They are not the same group of assassins who assassinated you twice."

"You mean, Su Xu sent people to spread the plague and stir up trouble, and Su Han sent people to assassinate me?"

Su Bi nodded.

Ning Xihua glanced at Su Bi and sighed.

She got engaged to this man, and she became a thorn in the eyes of Su Xu and Su Han.

It's really hard to fall in love.

When Su Bi saw her like this, his aura suddenly became gloomy.

He stared at Ning Xihua with dark eyes that revealed no emotion, but his voice became hoarse.

"Regret it?"

Ning Xihua somehow sensed Su Bi's accumulated violence and gloominess in an instant, and quickly went along with it.

"That's not the case, but has your Highness prepared the betrothal gifts? Marrying me is very expensive!"

When she left Beijing at the beginning, she told him to prepare the betrothal gifts and she would marry him when she returned.

Su Bi obviously thought of the situation at that time, and his whole demeanor softened a lot.

He chuckled, "I'm offering the entire Linhua Palace as a betrothal gift. I wonder if it's enough to marry the princess?"

Ning Xihua thought of the Linhua Palace with its carved railings and jade bricks, and remembered that Su Bi had given her a box of jewels as a gift, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"It's enough."

Su Bi raised her lips and said, "Then I have to thank the princess for her willingness to marry me."

She waved her hands and said, "You're welcome. It's my duty."

Su Bi couldn't help laughing out loud, and all the melancholy in his body disappeared. Ning Xihua also felt his happy mood and then felt relieved.

Sure enough, the boss's hair is really smooth.

Su Bi's arrival not only brought 50,000 soldiers, but also brought a lot of herbs needed by Yizhou.

Now Yizhou has sufficient supplies and manpower, the isolation and prevention of the epidemic are all on the right track, and the number of infections is decreasing.

The only problem is, there is still no cure.

Doctor Xu and his doctors worked day and night, but in the end they could only prolong the lives of patients with fever symptoms. However, the epidemic was still too fierce, and the number of people dying from the disease continued to increase.

This is not a solution. We can't wait until all the sick people die before we can stop the plague! Tens of thousands of people in Yizhou have been infected with the plague!

However, Su Bi was helpless in curing the epidemic. Even though he brought a large amount of herbs and many famous doctors from the capital, he was still helpless in dealing with the situation in Yizhou.

That day, Ning Xihua could no longer sit still, and she decided to go to Jing'an Lane to take another look.

Since this epidemic is human-transmitted, then the torn clothes carrying the virus must have a source. If we can know the source of this epidemic, we may be able to find a treatment.

Su Bi was worried about her, so she followed her to Jing'an Lane.

The well was still there, but it had been sealed by Zhao Yukang's men. And because it was not taken seriously at the time, the poisoned rags had long been thrown away by the people who pulled them out of the water, and it had been so long that there was no place to find them.

Just when Ning Xihua was frowning and gained nothing, Su Bi discovered something.

"Are you saying that Jing'an Lane is the source of the epidemic in Yizhou?"

Ning Xihua nodded.

Su Bi pointed to a house in the alley and said, "As the first place to be infected, almost every household in this alley has hung up white flags, but this family is the only one that doesn't."

She looked in the direction Su Bi pointed.

That was indeed the case. The last time she came, she discovered that someone had died in almost every household in the alley, but she did not notice that this was the only family that did not hang a white banner.

The two looked at each other and walked towards the house.
