Knowing the danger of the plague, Tianzong insisted on stopping his father who wanted to take care of the queen himself; but he couldn't bear to see his mother lying on the sick bed alone, so he often went to visit despite the imperial doctor's dissuasion.Originally, relying on his youth and strength, he would not get sick easily, but he was busy and anxious, and soon fell ill.

The queen and the prince fell ill one after another, and the imperial hospital was brightly lit every night, so no one dared to be negligent.Although Tian Zong was sick, he remained calm and ordered Luo Nan to take care of the queen, Luo Bei to continue to take care of himself, and told the emperor to keep the doors of the palaces closed so that no one would get sick again.

However, despite Luo Bei's best efforts, Tian Zong's condition has not improved.

Li Qiu looked at his highness lying on the couch, looking at the void and thinking, couldn't help but ran to a place where there was no one to secretly wipe his tears, but Ning Xingye found out and scolded him: "Bad luck! You are crying here!" What do you do with tears in your eyes, His Highness is a descendant of the gods, and with the help of gods, he will be safe and sound."

Li Qiu hurriedly wiped away his tears, but couldn't help crying again: "Our family knows why His Highness is sick. Ever since Ning... that one left Qingdu, His Highness has never really smiled, and just spent the whole day on the heavy burden. In terms of state affairs, there is not even a single person who speaks intimately..."

Ning Xingye was annoyed by his crying, but he couldn't think of a way out. He punched the pillar sullenly, took a breath and calmed down: "Now we have to do our duty more. Don't cry here, it's okay. Bring bad luck to His Highness, hurry back to work."

Even though everyone around him did their best, although Tian Zong's illness didn't get worse, he still couldn't recover.

Maybe it was because of his weak body, when he was lying on the large couch and was drowsy, the red lotus nightmare that had been haunting him before emerged from the void and enveloped him.Tian Zong gritted his teeth to prevent himself from falling into the illusion, and when he tried his best to resist, his heart was released, and the face of that night Ning Xinghe suddenly appeared in front of him.

——The long shiny black hair was stained with sweat, messily scattered around that delicate face, Ning Xinghe kissed his brow lightly, and said firmly: "...These illusions are just shadows in your heart. If you don't believe anything else, then believe it I—for Your Highness, I will never die..."

Luo Bei was waiting at the side, seeing Tian Zong clenched his fists in sleep, hesitating whether to wake him up, but seeing his breathing calmed down, he slowly let go of his fingers, and let him continue to sleep peacefully.

The prince's illness came and went, and he never recovered. Seeing that his body was getting weaker and weaker, everyone was helpless.

At this moment, the concubine of the crown prince who was ordered not to move around came to the east palace in the evening and asked to visit the crown prince.

Ning Xingye felt unhappy when he saw her, and reluctantly said respectfully: "The prince has an order not to visit you when you are sick; now that the epidemic in the palace is not over, please go back to your own palace to recuperate."

Qi Luo didn't mind, and raised her chin slightly to face him: "What? Don't you want His Highness to get better?"

Ning Xingye looked at her suspiciously: "Could it be that you have a solution?" He suddenly remembered that Luo Bei had said before that there were many witches and voodoo skills in Nanxu, maybe this Nanxu princess did have a way.Just as she was about to let go, she stopped her even more vigilantly, and asked bluntly, "Do you really want to cure His Highness? Or do you have other sinister intentions?"

Qi Luo glanced at him, stood upright, and said frankly: "Your Highness said that he would protect me. If something happens to him, how can he fulfill his promise? Besides him, who in this palace cares about my life? Although I hate you It’s a big shame, but right now I really hope that he will get better. Besides, if I save him this time, I will have made a great contribution and I will have the reward I want.”

Although what she said was reasonable, Ning Xingye was still worried, and followed her into the hall, asking Luo Bei to watch.Qi Luo ignored them, just took a small bowl, reached out to Ning Xingye and said, "Lend me your knife."

Seeing his guarded face, she smiled contemptuously and said, "What are you afraid of? Back then, you could break my arm with one kick. Now even if I have a knife, can I hurt anyone?"

Only then did Ning Xingye hand her his dagger, and she took it, and without blinking, he slashed at his wrist, and the honey-colored skin immediately bled profusely.Luo Bei was suddenly startled, seeing her dripping blood into the bowl on the table, with a serious expression, chanting in her mouth without interrupting without authorization.After she finished reading, she saw the blood in the bowl was tumbling gently like boiling!

Luo Bei hurriedly teased Ning Xingye: "You can speak Nanxu dialect, what did she read just now?"

Ning Xingye was in a daze. Hearing his question, she replied, "What she said was, 'Inject your blood with my blood, and help your life with my life'. Brother Luo, do you know what kind of southern witchcraft this is? "

Qi Luo turned a deaf ear to the conversation between the two of them, pressed the wound on his wrist, took up the bowl of steaming blood and handed it to Ning Xingye: "Give this to Your Highness."

How could Ning Xingye give his Royal Highness a drink from the Nanxu woman? Although he took the bowl, he stood still.Qi Luo sneered and said: "You don't want to cure Your Highness? Hmph, although you are worried about the ready-made imperial doctor here, just ask him to check it out."

Luo Bei took the bowl of blood and checked it for a long time, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it except boiling and rolling; Donating to others, you can indeed help others with your own strength; but from then on, if he dies, the person who donated blood will not live. Did you just use this kind of life-giving technique?"

Ning Xingye remembered that Luobei had told him this method when he was in Nanxu, but to implement this method, the blood donor needs to fall in love with the other party, and is completely willing to live and die with him—could this Nanxu woman really do it?

Qi Luo said indifferently: "That's right, this method is simple and easy to implement, anyone can use it as long as they love His Highness sincerely and willingly accompany him through life and death—hmph, there are other people in this whole palace who can be found for His Highness." Is it possible that you are going to find the crown prince and concubine? I don’t know medical skills, so I can only use this method. What are you afraid of? Anyway, His Highness is also terminally ill now. If this method works, it’s just that my life will rise and fall with him. It won't affect him; you have tested it just now, and I didn't poison you, if this method doesn't work, your Highness will drink my blood for nothing."

Luo Bei frowned even deeper.Ning Xingye stared at him nervously, waiting for him to make up his mind, and then said to Qi Luo: "Do you know how much trouble you have caused His Highness, His Highness could have easily solved you, but His Highness still insisted on saving your life ..."

Qi Luo turned to look at the couch lying in the sky, although her sight was blocked by the curtains, she had a complicated expression: "I understand." After speaking, she looked at the heavy curtains and left the hall on her own.

Luo Bei thought for a while, but still felt that the relationship was so important that he couldn't make up his mind, so he said to Ning Xingye: "Wait a minute, my officer hastened back to the imperial hospital to look through the classics and confirm this method separately; then discuss it with the head of the hospital Is it for His Highness to take it?"

Although Tian Zong was lying weak, he did not fall asleep, and he heard their words clearly from beginning to end. At this time, seeing Ning Xingye walking by the bed with a bowl, he shook his head firmly at him: "The blood of this palace is a god." According to the legend, the fate of this palace is protected by the ancestors, how can we allow her to interfere with it."

Ning Xingye knew that Tian Zong had always been arrogant, and he didn't bother to let Qi Luo have any entanglement with his life; he couldn't resist him, and he also had doubts in his heart, so he took out the bowl and put it aside for the time being.

Tian Zong fell into a drowsy sleep, with a wry smile in his heart: Gods, ancestors, you saw what I did before, so you no longer protect me?But, can you forgive me for a few more decades, let me guard this inheritance, and hand it over to Zhen'er when she grows up, and then take my life?

Thinking of this, Tian Zong became weaker and weaker, and even his breathing slowed down.

In a daze, I only felt salty in my mouth, as if a warm liquid was poured into my mouth by someone prying open my teeth.As soon as his blood was choking, he couldn't help but swallowed and coughed. Only then did he realize what happened, and he couldn't help but fly into a rage.

He struggled to open his eyes, and in the dark, he saw Ning Xingye standing in front of the couch, lowering the curtain and turning around to leave, so he gathered up all his strength and roared: "Ning Xingye! You are promising now, and you dare to disobey my orders Go, pour out that bowl of blood immediately, don't pollute this palace again!"

Ning Xingye replied sullenly outside the curtain: "Yes, it's...the fault of my minister, Your Highness, don't get angry."

Tian Zong was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, but he had already swallowed the blood just now, so he had no choice but to fall back on the pillow and ordered: "Bring water, I need to rinse my mouth."

Outside the curtain, Ning Xingye retreated silently.After a while, I heard Li Qiu bring someone up, holding a water bowl and a rinsing bowl, and helping him up.

It seemed that Qi Luo's method of donating blood and life had really worked. After that day, Tian Zong suddenly felt his strength recover and he soon got better.In less than a month, he continued to be as energetic as before, and saved his life before the gate of hell, but he was not afraid or worrying, and he was busy as usual after a while.

The emperor was overjoyed, he changed his indifferent attitude towards Qi Luo in the past, and asked her what reward she wanted, but she only said that she wanted to stay by Tian Zong's side, and did not ask for anything else.Dou didn't visit because he obeyed Tian Zong's order when he was sick. Seeing Qi Luo gaining such power at this time, he secretly felt sad and regretted.Tian Zong just observed calmly, without commenting.

Ning Xingye reminded Tian Zong several times that Qi Luo should be sent away as soon as possible.Tian Zong also planned to do the same, but after the related matters were arranged, Qi Luo insisted on staying in the palace, even though he still went in and out as before.Whenever she heard her piously talking about Tian Zong in front of others, Ning Xingye would instinctively raise his vigilance, but she was just bored in her own palace and did not do anything beyond the rules; however, the more this happened, the more uneasy Ning Xingye felt.

Tian Zong sighed when he brought up the matter again: "I also want her to leave as soon as possible, but she insists on staying. Although she is not willing, but I have accepted her life in the end, and now I don't want to leave." It’s hard to force her to go.”

Ning Xingye just frowned, hesitant to speak.
