He's just a stand-in

Liu Huaiqiu's mind went blank for an instant, how could Gu Lichuan be infected with the plague?

"Where is he? You take me there quickly." Liu Huaiqiu pulled the man with an anxious expression on his face.

That person doesn't know Liu Huaiqiu, so many days of natural disasters and man-made disasters have exhausted all his patience, it's good to be alive now.

It doesn't matter if the person who can enter the yamen is someone he can offend, he immediately lowered his face, shook off Liu Huaiqiu's hand, and said impatiently: "Who are you? Why should I take you there? My lord wants me to go Doctor, if you delay the matter, will you bear the consequences?"

Before Liu Huaiqiu could speak, the attendant who followed Liu Huaiqiu pulled out his sword and said angrily, "What are you talking about? This is the imperial envoy who came down with the prince from above."

"The imperial envoy wants to find the prince, so hurry up and lead the way."

When the man saw the shining sword in the guard's hand and heard what the guard said, he immediately panicked, "Your Imperial Envoy calm down, but this servant is just in a hurry to invite the doctor. I don't know it's the Imperial Envoy who arrived."

"The servant will take you to find the prince."

"Wait." Liu Huaiqiu called to stop the person in front of him, and said, "Are you both looking for a doctor?"

The two nodded quickly, "Return to the imperial envoy, yes, there are not many doctors in the city, and they can't do anything about it this time. Now that something happened to the prince, our lord asked the servants to call all the doctors in the city to discuss it together." countermeasures."

"Say yes, Zhuge Liang is the best of the three cobblers."

Liu Huaiqiu didn't even need to think about it, he said directly: "Then you go quickly, I will find it myself."

There should be no delay in finding a doctor. If there is a delay, Gu Lichuan may be in unexpected danger.

Although he didn't study these things, he also knew that being infected with the plague would kill him.

After Liu Huaiqiu finished speaking to those two people, he turned around and left.

Fortunately, the yamen is not very big, and everyone is also very frightened by the fact that Gu Lichuan was infected with the plague.

Liu Huaiqiu found it after asking a servant.

Many servants surrounded Gu Lichuan's room, and their expressions were very heavy.

They were not worried about Gu Lichuan, but themselves.

After all, Gu Lichuan is a prince, the emperor's own son, and it is possible that the important person they will never see in their life will also be infected with this damn plague and may die.

The consequences of their entire city are unimaginable.

When Liu Huaiqiu walked a little closer, he could hear the voices of many people in the room, a little noisy but still lifeless.

Liu Huaiqiu didn't think about it, he just stepped forward and opened the door and ran in.

"Gu Lichuan..."

"Doctor..." Hearing the sound of the door opening, the magistrate thought another doctor was coming, so he hurriedly turned around to meet him, only to find that it was Liu Huaiqiu, "Master Imperial Envoy? Why are you here?"

Liu Huaiqiu didn't answer the county magistrate's words, and asked directly: "Where's Gu Lichuan? Where is he?"

The county magistrate looked embarrassed, "My lord..."

Before the county magistrate could finish speaking, Liu Huaiqiu suddenly saw a figure in the partition ahead, and rushed over in a hurry.

"Gu Lichuan, how are you?" Liu Huaiqiu ran over, and found Gu Lichuan lying on the bed with a pale face, eyes closed, obviously sick.

Gu Lichuan was a little weak, and when he heard Liu Huaiqiu's voice, he opened his eyes in a daze.

"Qiuqiu? Why are you here?" After Gu Lichuan finished speaking, he remembered his current situation, and immediately turned cold, "Who told you to come, get out!"

Liu Huaiqiu was frightened by Gu Lichuan's reaction, and he was worried that Gu Lichuan would pour cold water on him again.

He had never seen Gu Lichuan like this.

Even though he had just entered the mansion, although Gu Lichuan looked ruthless, he was not as indifferent as he is now.

He didn't like such an indifferent Gu Lichuan.

Gu Lichuan continued to let him out, and the county magistrate also walked over from outside the curtain.

When Gu Lichuan saw the county magistrate, he said with a cold face, "Who allowed him to come in? Who told him something happened to me?"

"Kick him out and don't allow him to approach the yamen again."

"Forget it, just lock him in the mansion. If you let me know who released him, he will be executed immediately."

Last night, Gu Lichuan took a bath in the yamen, changed his clothes, and walked to the mansion just like in the past.

Before he could go out, a chill suddenly hit his body.

At first he didn't pay attention, thinking it was because he caught a cold after taking a shower, he walked a few more steps, and then his head became dizzy again.

He didn't dare to go to the mansion again.

He has been studying the symptoms of those infected with the plague for several days.

According to those who were infected, the initial symptoms after being infected with the plague were cold, chills, dizziness, then high fever, rashes all over the body, and finally breathlessness, skin ulceration, and finally death.

He was in contact with these people all day long, and he didn't dare to be careless.

There is another person in the mansion that he puts on top of his heart. If it is passed on to that person, even if he dies, he will not let him go.

Immediately returned to the Yamen and informed the county magistrate.

Ask the county magistrate to send someone to the mansion where he is currently living to tell Liu Huaiqiu that he will not be going back due to his busy schedule.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate heard that Gu Lichuan might also be infected with the plague, so he was anxious for a while, and only focused on finding someone to treat Gu Lichuan, forgetting Gu Lichuan's order in his mind.

Liu Huaiqiu couldn't wait for Gu Lichuan to return home, so he found the yamen out of worry.

When Liu Huaiqiu heard Gu Lichuan's words from the side, he immediately exploded, "I won't leave, Gu Lichuan, why do you drive me away?"

"Why can't I come? Let's see who dares to touch me!"

When Gu Lichuan heard what Liu Huaiqiu said, not only did he not change his mind, but he changed his words even more: "Yes, go, you have to go."

"I'll have someone send you away. You have to go back to the capital, and you can't stay in Changbei anymore."

"County magistrate, go find someone to secretly send my wife away."

Liu Huaiqiu blushed with anger, and said the same words, "I won't go!"

"When you came, you insisted on bringing me here, and now you want to drive me away. Why do you want me to come, I have to come, and you want me to go, I have to go?!"

The county magistrate was stunned when he heard Gu Lichuan's words, and his scrutinizing eyes glanced at Liu Huaiqiu incredulously.

The person in front of me is obviously a man, so why is he the prince's wife?

Is it a man disguised as a woman?

Liu Huaiqiu was still arguing with Gu Lichuan, "I won't leave, you'll be fine, even if something happens, I'll stay with you."

"I don't want to be alone in the mansion."

As Liu Huaiqiu was talking, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he complained aggrievedly: "You want to bring me here, but you want to drive me away, and you leave me alone in the mansion. not good."

"Does this feel good to you?"

"I hate you, Gu Lichuan. I'm also a human being. Why do you make decisions for me?"

Liu Huaiqiu's tears fell directly on Gu Lichuan's heart like a sledgehammer.

Gu Lichuan has never seen Liu Huaiqiu cry, and he never thought that one day he would make Liu Huaiqiu cry.

Distressed and a little flustered.

He reached out his hand to wipe Liu Huaiqiu's tears, but as soon as he raised his hand, the soreness on his hand reminded him of his current situation.

The hand that was raised in mid-air hangs down helplessly.

The indifference just now had long since disappeared, and he explained to Liu Huaiqiu with a distressed face,

"Qiuqiu... You, don't cry, I, I didn't mean that."

"I am afraid that you will be infected with the plague."

"Now that I've been infected, maybe... maybe there may be no good results. I can't let you be infected again."

"you……"

You are the prime minister's young son, you are always a son, the jewel in your palm, if he hadn't strongly urged the emperor to bring Liu Huaiqiu here, Liu Huaiqiu would not be in such a predicament.

Gu Lichuan didn't say these words, but continued to persuade: "I will die sooner or later, I don't care, you can't have an accident, and I can't let you have an accident."

"Now that my infection with the plague hasn't spread to the capital, and the city gates haven't been sealed yet, let someone take you out."

"I will send someone to take you back to the capital. There will be no accidents on the way. You also know Xuanying's skills. You can take whatever you want from the palace, and then you can go wherever you want."

"I'm not going!" No matter how Gu Lichuan persuaded, Liu Huaiqiu still said the same thing, and the more Gu Lichuan said, the more fierce Liu Huaiqiu's tears flowed.

"You won't die, you are the prince, how could you die."

"What will I do when you die? Have you ever thought about me? I am your wife, where do you want me to go? The world is so big, where else is my shelter?"

Liu Huaiqiu even forgot his original identity at this moment.

Forget that he is the young master of the prime minister's mansion, and forget his purpose of following Gu Lichuan to Changbei County.

Forgot that he wanted Gu Lichuan to contract the plague and die in Changbei County.

He even forgot his Yongan.

He just wanted to be by Gu Lichuan's side, wanted Gu Lichuan to get better, wanted Gu Lichuan to make him happy like before.

"Qiuqiu, you..." Gu Lichuan was stunned for a long time when he heard what Liu Huaiqiu said.

Was this Liu Huaiqiu deliberately pretending by Liu Huaiqiu?

Is this also Kang Wang's conspiracy to treat him like this?

He has been infected with the plague now, and he may die in Changbei like those common people in a short time, and then he will be taken to burn his body.

Finally turned into the dust of this world.

There will be no chance to become a threat to King Kang's seizure of the throne, so why is Liu Huaiqiu doing this.

Liu Huaiqiu should now follow his instructions and leave Changbei with Xuanying, and then go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to congratulate King Kang for being the crown prince.

Why bother coaxing him here...

Gu Lichuan suddenly wanted to ask Liu Huaiqiu if he had feelings for him by doing this, if he... fell in love with him.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to ask again.

It was a scam that Liu Huaiqiu came to him, just for Kang Wang, so how could he fall in love with him.

Gu Lichuan laughed at himself.

Seeing Gu Lichuan hesitate to speak, Liu Huaiqiu asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What do you want to say?"

Gu Lichuan shook his head, and slowly said: "It's nothing, I'm not trying to drive you away, it's dangerous for you to stay here, Qiuqiu, if you stay here, you may really only have a dead end."

"You don't have to guard me here, I will die sooner or later, I will definitely die, you... you can go back, okay?"

"Don't let me have no peace of mind until I die?"
