The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Winter mornings in the south of the Yangtze River are very different from those in the capital.

There is a clear chill in the capital, and the morning wind blows on your face, which is as cold as a knife, but you can keep out the cold by putting on a cloak or a small coat.

This is not the case in Jiangnan.

The cold will penetrate into your bones. No matter how many layers you wrap yourself in, you still can't hide the coldness.

Before dawn, Wen Yao saw Xu Rongrong's white lips and raised a basin of silver charcoal for her room.

People in Jiangnan live a prosperous and meticulous life. In previous years, every household prepared enough silver flakes to keep out the cold.

But this year is different.

Having just suffered a catastrophe, most people were busy solving their immediate embarrassment and could not care about anything else.

Therefore, the silver shavings carbon used by most people are leftover from the previous year. Not only is the quantity insufficient, but the quality has also declined greatly.

In order to take care of Xu Rongrong who was ill, Luo Xiao saved all his carbon and gave it to Xu Rongrong.

When the morning light first appeared, Shu Qing came over with a medicine bag to diagnose Xu Rongrong's pulse.

After the injection, Xu Rongrong showed faint signs of waking up. Her eyebrows did not move and seemed to be about to open.

"It seems that the eldest lady didn't have any more nightmares last night. She must have slept well. Now is the time when she needs a good rest." Shu Qing took up the pen and changed two prescriptions, and Chu He immediately went out to get the medicine.

When Xu Rongrong woke up, what she heard was what Shu Langzhong said just now.

She has been very ill these past two days, and in her deep and ups and downs, she always recalls things from her past life.

She was trying to escape, but she couldn't seem to escape, until a warm current appeared, like a small boat, pushing her away from the edge of the nightmare.

This warmth gave her a familiar feeling...

When Xu Rongrong woke up, she didn't want to lie down anymore. She struggled to get up. Wen Yao quickly stepped forward and placed a soft pillow under her body: "Miss, don't move. Your body is very damaged and you need to cultivate yourself."

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded when he heard this, then turned to Doctor Shu: "How is the development of medicine to treat the epidemic going?"

When she asked, Shu Qing felt a little sad and lowered his eyes in silence. He had seen many strange diseases in his life, and this was the first time he had seen them.

When Xu Rongrong saw this, he understood.

She comforted Shu Qing and said, "This matter cannot be solved overnight. Besides, my illness has also delayed your efforts a lot."

When Shu Qing heard this, he felt even more guilty: "It's me who is incompetent."

Mrs. Luo Xiao looked on, feeling congested. Since Wen Yao had been taking care of Xu Rongrong who was ill, she had to bear the responsibility for Shu Langzhong's daily living and food these days.

She saw this thin man forgetting to eat and sleep, trying medicine, observing, and adjusting over and over again.

You must know that the patients he observed and cared for were almost all seriously ill and dying, and they would contract the epidemic if they were not careful.

But he didn't realize it and dragged the boy from the Lin family next door until now.

Seeing him blaming himself at this time, Mrs. Luo Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sour: "Mr. Shu, please don't blame yourself, you have tried your best! The eldest lady also said that this disease does not happen overnight. Besides, your method of reducing fever You have saved the vast majority of the people in Yuzhou City, and now there are almost no patients with high fever in the city. They are able to be like this thanks to you."

Luo Xiao's words made Shu Qing feel even more ashamed. He was a doctor himself, and it was only natural for him to treat illnesses and save people.

But now, not only can he not think of a way to cure the epidemic, he also needs someone else to come up with a solution.

He stood up, silently put away the medicine bag, told Wen Yao a few more things to take care of, and then walked out with his head lowered.

Xu Rongrong was a little worried when he saw this.

But at this time, she was struggling to even get out of bed and could only do so much.

Seeing the tired look on her face, Mrs. Luo Xiao took her daughter to leave.

After everyone retreated, Xu Rongrong took a few sniffs and frowned: "Why does it smell like blood?"

Wen Yao subconsciously looked at the place where Mr. Hou vomited blood last night.

Before leaving last night, the Marquis told her: "Same as in the hunting palace, don't let her know that I have been here."

So, she cleaned up the floor.

Unexpectedly, the young lady noticed it.

Xu Rongrong is such a perceptive person. With one look in Wen Yao's eyes, she knew there was something weird in it.

She followed the little girl's gaze and glanced over. Sure enough, on the ground not far from the bed, the look in her eyes was slightly different from elsewhere.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Xu Rongrong asked, with a tired tone in his tone, and at the same time, he also carried the aura of a superior who could not be refused.

Wen Yao slowly knelt down and whispered: "Last night, the Marquis was here."

"Master Hou?... Shouldn't he be in Xianzhou at the moment?" Xu Rongrong was puzzled.

According to this... Xianzhou is two days away, how could he come so fast?

"I don't know. When I saw the Marquis last night, his face was dusty. I think he came here at a fast pace."

Xu Rongrong was silent after hearing this. After a moment, she looked at the dark color on the ground: "What's going on here?"

"It was caused by Mr. Hou vomiting blood."

Vomiting blood? !Xu Rongrong's heart was slightly shaken, and she looked at Wen Yao in confusion.

"When the Marquis came, the servant was heating up medicine for the young lady. Seeing that the young lady was not sleeping peacefully, he mobilized his inner strength to help the young lady sleep. When the servant came in, she saw that he could hardly stand, and... he was vomiting on the ground. There is a pool of blood, but I don’t know what caused it.”

Xu Rongrong was stunned.

Could it be that the warm current in her dream was his inner strength?

She murmured: "Then before..."

"When we were at the Hunting Palace earlier, my lady fell ill on a rainy night, and it was the Marquis who used his inner strength to help you recover."

Xu Rongrong's eyes were dark.

But... he was the number one general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could he suddenly vomit blood?

So she glanced at Wen Yao and ordered: "Get up and call Mu Ai in. I have something to ask him."

Wen Yao hurried out.

Not long after, Muai entered the room.

Xu Rongrong was half leaning on the bed. She had not recovered from a serious illness, and she had been feeling uneasy just now, so her face was even paler at the moment.

Mu Ai took a quick look and immediately lowered his eyes: "Young lady, if you have something to do, just ask your subordinates. Your body has not recovered yet. If you work too hard... Lord Marquis, I'm afraid you will feel distressed again."

Xu Rongrong looked at him: "Your Lord, are you injured?"

Mu Ai was a little surprised. He quickly adjusted his mind and pretended not to know: "No! The Marquis is the first-class army of the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Xu Rongrong interrupted him: "He vomited blood last night."

Mu Ai's face turned pale: "How...how could it be?"

"Tell me! Did he encounter any enemies along the way from the capital to here? Was he injured?"

Mu Ai knew that he couldn't hide Xu Rongrong's whereabouts, so he told how they put on a show of honor to attract others' attention in order to hide Xu Rongrong's whereabouts; how they encountered three assassinations along the way, and how they were surrounded by danger; and how the Marquis tried to protect Mr. Cao. The matter of causing internal injuries was told exactly as it was.

At the end, he added: "The Marquis was worried that someone would try to trick the eldest lady, so he ordered his subordinates to come and work with Chu He to protect the eldest lady's safety."

Xu Rongrong looked at him: "Did you tell him about my illness?"

Mu Ai nodded: "The Marquis ordered the young lady to tell him immediately if there is any abnormality here. I didn't expect that he would come all day and night after getting the news. Maybe that's why... Excite internal injuries and vomit blood, after all, the Marquis' body is not made of iron."

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Rongrong secretly, trying to see a hint of emotion on the young lady's face.

But Xu Rongrong responded to him with only silence:

The recurrence of his old injury must have been caused by her stimulating internal energy.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

"Go back."

Xu Rongrong said in a deep voice.
