The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1073 - 664: Contracting the Plague (Third Update)

Chapter 1073: Chapter 664: Contracting the Plague (Third Update)

Outside the plague area.

Xiao Jinxing stood under the moonlight.

His tall and handsome appearance even made Xiao Wu, a grown man, slightly dumbstruck.

Truly the Emperor is the Emperor, such otherworldly beauty, what woman could possibly resist?!

How did the Empress withstand the Emperor’s unparalleled charm?

"Did he accept it?" Xiao Jinxing’s eyes slightly moved.

Xiao Wu hurriedly snapped out of it.

He almost drooled.

He respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, Ali accepted it and specifically asked me to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Xiao Jinxing turned to look at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu felt a chill down his spine under the Emperor’s gaze.

Always feeling that the Emperor’s mood was unpredictable.

"It’s getting late, Your Majesty should retire for the night," Xiao Wu mustered the courage to say.

Xiao Jinxing acknowledged it with a sound, and strode ahead.

Xiao Wu let out a sigh of relief and quickly followed the Emperor.

He was truly afraid that the little white lie he told just now would be seen through by the Emperor. To deceive the ruler is a grave crime, but if he honestly told the Emperor that Ali was incredibly reluctant to accept, he feared the Emperor wouldn’t sleep tonight.

The two of them returned to Linghe Temple together.

As they walked into the temple entrance, they saw a figure seemingly waiting for them at the door.

Upon approaching, it was clear that it was Feng Xiyun.

Seeing their return, Feng Xiyun hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "This humble servant greets the Emperor and greets Lord Wu."

Xiao Jinxing glanced at her.

Feng Xiyun said, "I just finished writing all the prescriptions and handed them to Lord Pang. Upon inquiry, I learned the Emperor had left the temple, so I waited at the entrance for Your Majesty."

"Is there something?" Xiao Jinxing asked.

"No. It’s just that Your Majesty had not returned for long, and this humble servant was a bit worried," Feng Xiyun gently said.

"Rest early," Xiao Jinxing casually said.

"Your Majesty, where did you go so late?" Feng Xiyun followed behind Xiao Jinxing, seemingly casually asked.

"Just went for a walk." Xiao Jinxing’s tone was cold.

Clearly not wanting to say more.

Feng Xiyun was very good at reading faces and minds, so she quickly refrained from asking more.

Xiao Wu and Feng Xiyun escorted Xiao Jinxing to the room.

As Xiao Jinxing was about to enter.

Feng Xiyun suddenly couldn’t help but sneeze.

Xiao Jinxing hadn’t spoken yet.

Feng Xiyun quickly said, "I’m not cold, Your Majesty need not worry."

Xiao Jinxing said no more and directly went into the room.

Xiao Wu was momentarily stunned.

He could clearly hear that Feng Xiyun wanted the Emperor to show concern, yet the Emperor said nothing and entered the room directly.

Xiao Wu turned to look at Feng Xiyun.

He saw a trace of disappointment flash across her delicate face.

Feeling Xiao Wu’s gaze, she quickly put on a gentle smile, "Lord Wu, taking care of Your Majesty is tiring. Please take care of yourself tonight as the temperature drops... cough, cough, cough..."

"Doctor Feng." Xiao Wu looked at her worriedly.

"I’m fine, just got choked up. Lord Wu, I’ll go back to my room first."

"Take your time, Doctor Feng."

Feng Xiyun gave Xiao Wu a salute and then turned away.

Xiao Wu watched Feng Xiyun’s somewhat slender back, shaking his head.

He suddenly thought.

The Emperor’s concern for Ali was even greater than for Feng Xiyun.

Rumor had it that the Emperor’s relationship with Feng Xiyun was subtle; perhaps it was just a rumor.

He would never dare suggest that the Emperor like Feng Xiyun again in the future.

The Emperor’s preferences he could not understand at all.

...

The next morning.

Xiao Jinxing sat at the table having breakfast.

Xiao Wu, Pang Nan, and Feng Xiyun naturally accompanied him.

Outside, there were not so many formalities between ruler and subjects.

Only the Emperor ate without tasting.

The others dared not say much.

Xiao Wu eagerly hoped for someone to report, "Sir, the doctor has already finished all his breakfast."

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced secretly at the Emperor.

Sure enough, the Emperor’s appetite was suddenly whetted.

"Doctor Feng, why is your face so red?" Suddenly Pang Nan noticed.

At this,

Everyone else also looked at Feng Xiyun.

Her originally fair cheeks were unusually red.

At this moment, her entire spirit seemed not very well.

Seeing everyone looking at her, she quickly said, "It’s nothing, perhaps I didn’t sleep well last night, it doesn’t matter."

"It suddenly got cold last night, could it be that Doctor Feng caught a cold?" Pang Nan speculated.

"It’s nothing." Feng Xiyun smiled gently, "Don’t worry, I am a doctor, I know my body’s condition."

Pang Nan, hearing Feng Xiyun say this, said no more.

Xiao Wu also lowered his head and continued eating breakfast.

However, Xiao Jinxing, turned his head to look at Feng Xiyun a couple more times.

Watching her lower her gaze, continually eating, but eating very little.

After breakfast.

Everyone got up to leave.

At that moment.

Feng Xiyun’s body suddenly collapsed.

Xiao Jinxing instinctively reached out, holding her.

Feng Xiyun directly fainted.

"Doctor Feng!" Xiao Wu and Pang Nan exclaimed in shock.

Feng Xiyun leaned motionless in Xiao Jinxing’s embrace.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Wu was thrilled.

Feng Xiyun suddenly fainted.

The plague patients hadn’t even been fully treated yet?!

What to do?!

Xiao Jinxing was calm, he said to Xiao Wu, "First carry her back to her room."

"Me?" Xiao Wu was shocked.

Unmarried men and women shouldn’t touch.

And it’s not like the Emperor can’t carry Feng Xiyun.

Feeling the Emperor’s gaze.

Xiao Wu dared not refuse.

He stepped forward and carried Feng Xiyun horizontally.

In his heart, he silently recited, "Lu You, I didn’t betray you, I was forced by the Emperor! You must forgive me!"

Xiao Wu resignedly carried Feng Xiyun back to her room.

Feng Xiyun’s face was frighteningly red, her breathing rapid.

Just moments ago, as Xiao Wu held her, he could feel her body burning up.

"Your Majesty, what now?" Xiao Wu said, "Doctor Feng is unconscious, and the plague patients haven’t been fully treated."

"The plague patients can be ignored," Xiao Jinxing bluntly said, "First find a doctor to treat Feng Xiyun."

"Yes." Xiao Wu quickly accepted the order.

Speculating that the Emperor still cared about Feng Xiyun.

Leaving so many plague patients aside, Feng Xiyun’s health was the most important.

Xiao Wu quickly arranged to bring a few doctors already inside the temple over to examine Feng Xiyun.

The doctor respectfully said, "My lord, Doctor Feng doesn’t have a common cold. According to her current pulse, Doctor Feng has contracted the plague."

"..." Xiao Wu was utterly shocked, "How is that possible?! She never went into the plague area, Ali was the one in there, she merely handled prescriptions; how could she have contracted the plague?!"

"This... this I don’t know. But with Doctor Feng’s current condition, she certainly has the plague."

"Then why not hurry and treat her?!" Xiao Wu said, disregarding everything, quickly giving orders.

"The plague... I cannot treat it. All this time, it was Ali and Doctor Feng who were treating it; we have seen many prescriptions, but indeed we dare not lightly medicate Doctor Feng." The doctor said apprehensively.
