Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

The palace was already in chaos. When the news of the plague in Ling County reached the ears of court officials, they all started to make their own plans.

Xie He had not been on the throne for long and had no offspring. His brothers were either killed or imprisoned, and even among his collateral relatives it was difficult to find a male heir.

This means...if the emperor dies, a new round of fight for the throne will begin.

Duan Rong was very interested in discussing with Su Shi who would be the first to fight for the position among these ambitious guys. He analyzed them one by one and laughed happily. However, Su Shi did not say a word. "What's wrong with you? You are absent-minded every day!!"

Su Shi has indeed changed a lot. Merchants value money. In the past, Su Shi would have to wander the streets from morning to night, visiting shops, chatting with the shop owners, and looking for business opportunities.

But Su Shi had rested for more than half a month, and the income of the mansion was pitifully less than before. Not only that, he was depressed. He ignored his beautiful new wife and did not try to get close to her father. He just stayed in the yard every day.

"Xie He has contracted the plague." Su Shi murmured, "Nian Nian is with him. They are all in Ling County."

He had been thinking about this matter for a long time. Some of the spies he sent out were stopped outside the city, while others were unable to leave the city. It seemed as if the city had become a dead city, shrouded in dark clouds. All those who stayed inside would never return.

"..."

Duan Rong couldn't understand. In his opinion, if Xu Bai was forced into the palace from the beginning, he would definitely feel pity for this friend who was robbed of his love. But in fact, Xu Bai was sent in by him personally, and he even felt regretful at that time. But what did Su Shi say?

Su Shi said: It's just a little gadget, it's useful.

"It's just a little gadget, it's useful." Duan Rong repeated what Su Shi had said before, and when he saw Su Shi suddenly raise his head, he sighed, "Su Shi, I really look down on you."

He was indeed disappointed. When they first met, Su Shi was a pure businessman. Duan Rong admired his profit-seeking and decisiveness. In fact, Duan Rong still admired him for being able to send Xu Bai away and for saying such words.

A person who is ruthless enough will always get more rewards in other aspects.

Su Shi also failed to pass the beauty test.

Duan Rong left.

Su Shi sat for a long time, and finally remembered that he was talking about Young Master Gu. He was the one who gave him to Xie He as a toy, so he was the culprit. If Xu Baizhen died in Lingcheng, it would be him, Su Shi, who should atone for his sins.

Rather than Xie He.

[Su Shi’s Favorability: 98]

Xiao Tao cried for several times. In fact, she was not the only one. The guards were all depressed. A few days ago, the young master would knock on the door to ask for the medicine to be delivered the next day, but there was no sound in the next few days. The meaning of silence was self-evident, but no one dared to open the door. They kept a tacit understanding and no one mentioned what was going on inside.

Qi Xiu Ran thought about rushing in to rescue Xu Bai, but he didn't dare to do so, and he didn't know if it would lead to an even more irreversible situation, so everyone could only wait.

When the door was opened, the guards discovered it first.

A thin figure supported another tall figure as they staggered under the sun. Both of them were indeed alive and walked out on their own.

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty!"

They knelt together, and everyone had tears in his eyes.

The epidemic in the county town has shown a trend of weakening. The bodies of the people who died from the disease have been dug up and buried. Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

The imperial physician came to take his pulse. After all, Xie He was strong and healthy. Although he had suffered a lot, he was not seriously injured. He would be able to recover after two months of rest.

But Xu Bai can't.

He just walked two steps among the crowd and then fell down, with blood oozing from the corner of his lips.

"Niannian!" Xie He's current body couldn't hold him, and in the end he could only let someone else do it for him.

"Your Majesty, has the young master ever contracted typhoid fever?" The imperial physician knew that Xu Bai was weak, but this time it was even worse. When he took his pulse, he could not feel any pulse even with normal finger force.

"No."

Although the young master lived with him, he did not have the same symptoms as him and did not have a fever.

After several attempts without success, the imperial physician's brows furrowed and his beard trembled. He slowly relaxed his strength and slowly became aware of the vague and soft beating.

——It is a sign of yang decline and death.

But His Majesty had just recovered from a serious illness, and the imperial physician did not dare to tell the truth, but a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"As you said, it's just excessive fatigue and lack of energy and blood?"

Xie He was supported by someone, his eyes fixed on the imperial physician, "Yes... Young Master has been working hard for more than ten days, it is not easy, Your Majesty... You should take care of your health and not let the young master down."

Liu Er: [Are you ready to leave? ]

Their bureau is relatively humane, as the authority to leave is not in the system's hands but in the host's own. Once an accident occurs, the host can decide whether to leave and restart. Liu'er took a look and found that the "Leave" button was already flashing red.

Liu Er: [Xie He and Su Shi are both short of strategy points, so you only have seven days? ]

This host of mine is really bold and presumptuous.

[Ah, I am bold but careful.] Xu Bai counted on his fingers, [Actually, it takes three and a half days to get back to the palace, otherwise it would be three days. Transportation in ancient times was inconvenient. I must take a car next time. I would rather cry in a car than vomit in a carriage!]

The young master was unconscious for half an hour after vomiting blood. While Xie He was away, the imperial physician told Xu Bai about his condition hesitantly and indirectly.

"I knew... I couldn't hold on for much longer." His voice was soft, as if he wasn't unwilling or anxious at all. "It's okay, I just ask you to... make me feel better."

"My Lord, you are open-minded. Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness, so I have no choice but to conceal something. If Your Majesty holds me accountable for this matter—"

"Don't worry." Xu Bai smiled gently, "I will explain to His Majesty."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir!" Perhaps he felt that what he said was too cruel for a young man, or perhaps the young man's attitude made him feel guilty, so he changed the subject and said, "I am not an expert in medicine, but you are a blessed man. You will be protected and there will be no harm."

"Yeah." He responded, knowing that it was just consolation.

The young master suddenly realized that he had changed. All the people and things he met were forcing him to grow up and become a competent "young master", a pet who depended on someone.

Xiao Tao burst into tears when she saw Xu Bai. Her eyes were swollen and she was still shedding tears. "Master, wuwu..."

"Don't cry." His chest ached, but he couldn't hold back his tears. "I'm back..."

"Yeah, yeah, it's good that you're back... It's good. I won't cry anymore, no." Xiao Tao was busy helping to change clothes and wipe the body. It took a lot of trouble before she finally calmed down.
