Lu Xiuyuan calmed down a little after hearing his wife's words. He threw the brush hard as if to vent his anger, then hugged Xia Younan on his lap and held her in his arms, complaining to her angrily.

"My lady, have you ever seen someone as shameless as Lu Shian? Is there no one left in the court? He picked on me and tricked me alone."

Xia Younan laughed so hard that her body shook. She stroked his chest with her jade hand to comfort him, "Okay, don't be angry. Lu Shian is the typical guy who loves beauty more than the country. Although you two don't get along normally, he really trusts you."

Entering the Imperial Study to review memorials and intervening in state affairs has been something that only the current emperor and the crown prince can do throughout the dynasties.

Lu Shian just casually let the "dishonest" Lu Xiuyuan do these things.

If Xia Younan's premonition was correct, those soldiers and generals that Lu Xiuyuan had spent so much effort to secretly train would be of no use.

Lu Xiuyuan kissed her forehead sullenly and sighed, "Luckily you are here to accompany me, otherwise I would be really depressed to death."

"Of course I have to accompany you. I have just developed internal strength, and I need to practice my light skills diligently. I can't do without your daily guidance." Xia Younan playfully kicked her legs in his arms.

After returning from Liuyue City, Xia Younan has been practicing Qinggong to cultivate her internal strength. She can be considered a martial arts genius, she can learn things at a glance, and her learning speed is many times faster than that of ordinary people. Now she has achieved some success.

If she continues to improve in the future, Lu Xiuyuan will probably have a hard time defeating her.

The young couple took a break from their busy schedule to spend some time together. Just as Lu Xiuyuan picked up his brush to continue working, the door of the imperial study was suddenly opened.

The person who opened the door was Lu Shian, who had just been greeted by Lu Xiuyuan.

Lu Xiuyuan looked up, his heart was filled with joy, he threw away his brush, picked up his wife and ran out.

Run quickly, the workers are back.

“Don’t go, something big has happened.” As soon as he ran to Lu Shian, Lu Shian’s voice came over.

Lu Xiuyuan stopped and looked at him with a frown on his face, "Using the same trick twice, it's boring!"

"This time something really happened. Look at this."

Lu Shian handed a letter to Lu Xiuyuan. His expression was serious, even with a solemn sense of crisis, and he didn't seem to be joking at all.

"I just came back, and the eunuch was rushing to deliver this letter to the imperial study. I happened to be coming to see you, so I intercepted the letter."

Seeing his strange expression, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but put away his joking mood. He put Xia Younan on the ground, took the letter and unfolded it to read.

As his eyes moved across the letter, his expression became uglier and uglier, and in the end there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.

He seldom showed this kind of expression. Xia Younan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He had a bad premonition and quickly leaned over to look at the contents of the letter.

This letter was an express letter sent from the border, written by Tang Guojing.

It said that the soldiers at the border were collectively infected with a strange disease. They suddenly went crazy for no reason, their eyes turned red, they lost all their rationality, and attacked their own people like wild beasts.

Those who had weapons used them to chop down anyone they saw in their own barracks; those who did not have weapons were even more terrifying, as they tore their companions apart with their teeth like wild beasts and swallowed the flesh they bit off.

There are thousands of people infected with this disease. If they go crazy at the same time, not to mention fighting in the battlefield, they will kill themselves if they are ignored.

The military doctors must have made a diagnosis immediately, but no matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not find the cause of their illness, and they could not find any related cases after searching through all the medical books.

The border is now in chaos. What happened in the military camp is that the enemy is taking advantage of the chaos to attack again and again.

The soldiers had to control their own mad men while dealing with external enemies, and coupled with the fear in their hearts, they suffered repeated defeats in the battle and suffered heavy casualties.

After finally capturing three enemy cities, they were taken back by them in one fell swoop, and we even lost one of our own cities.

If this continues, Lingjiang Kingdom might be shaken.

Tang Guojing was really at a loss and could only write a letter to the capital for help.

After reading the letter, the three of them looked bleak. Lu Shian helplessly sought Lu Xiuyuan's advice, "What should I do? If something goes wrong with our family's kingdom, how can I face my ancestors?"

Lu Xiuyuan frowned so hard that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. He pursed his lips and thought for a long time before he suggested, "The problem with this matter lies in that strange disease. Go to the Imperial Hospital immediately and ask the imperial doctors to find a solution. Then, post an imperial decree offering a large reward so that doctors all over the world can work together to find a cure for the disease."

"This is all we can do for now." Lu Shi'an sighed with a sad face and turned to go to the Imperial Hospital.

"Let's leave the palace soon." Lu Xiuyuan also pulled Xia Younan out of the palace.

"What are we going to do?"

"Go find Luo Fan. His medical skills are the best I've ever seen. Even the imperial doctors in the palace can't compare to him."

After leaving the palace, the two went straight to Jishidiang. Shen Luofan had no patients at the moment and was practicing walking while holding the railing.

He found it extremely difficult to do something that ordinary people could do easily. His brows were furrowed, his lips were pursed until they turned pale, and after only a few steps, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

She was still wearing the same pale and clean white clothes, and her eyes and eyebrows were still filled with melancholy. Although she was physically disabled, she had a kind of morbid beauty.

Seeing them coming, Shen Luofan hurriedly hobbled towards the wheelchair, wanting to sit down and talk to them again.

Xia Younan couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward, held his arm, and helped him sit in the wheelchair.

Shen Luofan turned his head to look at her, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said softly: "I can walk very far now, and I will be back to normal soon."

"Great!" Xia Younan praised generously, secretly sighing that he was like a little kid trying to take credit from his parents.

Lu Xiuyuan pulled his wife behind him. He had no time to be jealous and told him what had happened straight away. He asked him if he had heard of that disease.

Shen Luofan frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, "I have studied medicine for so many years, and I have never heard of a disease with such symptoms."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded in disappointment and said, "This is an urgent matter. If you are free, please help me investigate. Or try to deduce the source of the disease and find a way to treat it."

Shen Luofan readily agreed, "Okay, I have to be free now, I will go check it out right away, and I will do my best to handle this matter."

"Well, thanks." Lu Xiuyuan thanked him and pulled Xia Younan away.

"Um..." Shen Luofan suddenly stopped them, glanced at Xia Younan evasively, and said with a dry laugh, "Your Highness has just arrived, why don't you sit for a while and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

"No, I have something else to do." Lu Xiuyuan declined his kindness and left the store with Xia Younan.

Shen Luofan stared at their backs until he could no longer see them, then he looked away and turned to look at the faded fish-shaped lantern on the table beside him.
