The little fox does not want to hide the cub

This was probably the most effective threat to the little fox. He shook his head in fright, and assured Jiang Shen that he would never do such a thing again.Sometimes Jiang Shen doesn't understand whether the little fox really likes him or his body.

It's funny to say, Jiang Shen thought that the little fox liked him so much that he was so dazed that he would rather imagine a child and be with him.

The reality turned out to be just the opposite.

The little fox didn't seem to like him that much, not only did he not, but when he first found out that he was pregnant with a child, he might have felt that the little boy in his stomach was in the way and delayed his practice.

"It's also getting in the way now." After hearing Jiang Shen's question, Li Ruan said seriously.

The two of them had already watched the sunrise and went down the mountain.They haven't eaten since last night, but Jiang Shen still wants to stay in Changming Mountain for a while, and is not in a hurry to return to the palace, so he can only hunt by himself as before.

He didn't let the little fox do anything, he took off his shoes and socks and went into the water to fish.

The little fox sat under a tree by the water bank and patted his stomach: "If it wasn't for this little fox cub, I would be able to catch fish by myself."

Instead of going hungry here.

really hungry.

In fact, he can catch fish by himself now, but who made Jiang Shen too nervous, afraid that he would fall in the water, no matter what, he refused to let him enter the water.Li Ruan knew that he had made him a little unhappy before, and wanted to coax him, so she didn't refute.

Who knew that His Royal Highness, who was boasted to be almost omnipotent by the outside world, would have things that he couldn't do.

After staying in the water for almost a stick of incense, I didn't touch a single fish.

Li Ruan rubbed his belly and said in a low voice: "Your father seems to be really not very smart now, so don't learn from him in the future."

"Whoa-"

Suddenly water splashed in the creek, and Li Ruan looked up in surprise, only to see Jiang Shen sitting in the middle of the creek, the fish he finally caught fluttered twice, turned into an arc in mid-air, and fell into the water quickly swam away.

Li Ruan: "Pfft."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was drenched all over, even the tip of his hair was dripping, no matter how you looked at him, he was in a mess.

Li Ruan rolled on the grass laughing.

Jiang Shen's ears felt hot: "Stop laughing."

Li Ruan laughed enough and raised her hand lightly.

A gust of breeze blew by, carrying Jiang Shen out of the stream, and landed in front of Li Ruan.Along with him, there were two fresh and tender live fish, which happened to land in his arms.

Li Ruan made a look of surprise: "Wow, you caught two fat fish, really amazing!"

Jiang Shen: "..."

I've never seen anything more fake than him.

Angry and funny, Jiang Shen packed the two fish in his wet clothes and got up: "I'm going back, I'll make fish soup for you."

Li Ruan: "Sure!"

His Royal Highness is not good at catching fish, but he is good at cooking.

He returned to the cave, cleaned up the two fish neatly, put them in a small earthen pot to simmer, and after a while, the fresh fragrance of fish soup wafted out of the cave.

Li Ruan squatted beside the fire and waited anxiously. Even though he was still in human form, Jiang Shen seemed to be able to see his wagging tail behind him.

"The stew will be ready soon, wait a little longer, don't worry." Jiang Shen said.

His clothes were all wet from catching fish and he took off his coat and set it aside to dry while he wore only a thin undershirt.

"It's all your fault." Li Ruan muttered in a low voice, "Otherwise I would have eaten it long ago."

Jiang Shen was silent.

Suddenly a man's clear voice came from outside the cave: "Hey, what good food are you eating? Did I come just in time?"

"Axue?" Li Ruan blinked, "Why are you here?"

"Can't I come?" Lin Jianxue walked into the cave, first glanced at Jiang Shen who was sitting next to him, "That's right, now that His Royal Highness is here, of course it's not convenient for me to come. It's not after sending people away earlier When you are so uncomfortable to talk to me..."

Jiang Shen's eyes moved slightly.

"Don't talk about the past." Li Ruan pulled him over, "Let's drink fish soup together, you'll be fine soon, let me tell you, Jiang Shen's cooking skills are very good, and he doesn't even cook the royal chef in the palace." It's delicious!"

Lin Jianxue smiled, followed him and sat down by the fire.

Jiang Shen asked him: "Senior, what is the purpose of coming here?"

Lin Jianxue didn't like to deal with ordinary people, not to mention they just met yesterday, if there was nothing special, he probably wouldn't come to the door at this time.

"Mr. Jiang is sharp, I do have something to do." Lin Jianxue asked, "How long do you plan to stay in Changming Mountain when you come back this time?"

Jiang Shen frowned slightly.

Li Ruan tugged at his sleeve: "Axue..."

Lin Jianxue said: "Young Master Jiang, don't get me wrong, I didn't say this to drive you away. To be precise, I just want to ask, when do you plan to return to Beijing?"

Jiang Shen and Li Ruan have lived in the palace for more than a month, logically it is time to return to the palace.

However, due to the strange death of the foreign businessman in the capital half a month ago, these few days in the capital are in chaos, Jiang Shen was worried that his father would be arrested to deal with government affairs after returning, and he would not have time to accompany the little fox, so he decided to Procrastinate and procrastinate.

Jiang Shen said truthfully, "I don't have any plans for the time being."

"Then I think it's time for you to make some plans." Lin Jianxue said calmly.

Jiang Shen heard that there was a deeper meaning behind his words, and asked: "Senior, what do you mean by this, what will happen to the capital...?"

"Mr. Jiang, what are you talking about? At most, I can do some little spells of stargazing and divination, but I can't predict the future. How can I know what will happen in the capital?" Lin Jianxue said, "However, these few villages on the outskirts of the capital recently , something unusual happened."

The first thing related to the unusual thing was that someone went up the mountain to ask for medicine.

"I rescued a Dr. You Fang a long time ago. At that time, he was suffering from a serious disease, and there was no cure for it. He once made a great wish at the foot of Changming Mountain. If God can let him escape, he will practice medicine everywhere for the rest of his life. , saving the dying and healing the wounded. Seeing his sincerity, I saved him." Lin Jianxue said.

Li Ruan came to his senses: "Is that the scholar who asked for medicine last time, the Doctor You Fang you mentioned?"

"Yes." Lin Jianxue nodded, "Doctor You Fang knows the secrets of Changming Mountain. He has been practicing medicine near the capital these years. Anyone who is seriously ill but has a pure heart will guide them The way up the mountain."

"...But not long ago, he went up the mountain himself."

Li Ruan asked: "Is he sick again?"

"No, he is asking for medicine for someone." Lin Jianxue looked at Jiang Shen, "And there is more than one."

Jiang Shen frowned, vaguely guessing what Lin Jianxue wanted to say: "How many people are sick?"

"He was actually in good condition when he went up the mountain, but there were five or six families in a nearby village, and someone in the family was sick." Lin Jianxue said, "The disease is very strange, and most of the patients are young and middle-aged. At first, he was talking nonsense and became unconscious, and soon his whole body was itchy and festered, and he had a persistent high fever."

Jiang Shen's eyes sank: "This disease..."

It is very similar to the epidemic that appeared in the south last year.

Lin Jianxue: "Doctor You Fang told me that a similar strange disease appeared in the south last year. But later, the government developed a healing ointment, which quickly brought the disease under control."

Jiang Shen nodded: "It is true."

At that time, the government spent two months to find a cure, and finally brought the disease under control.However, due to the outbreak of the disease, it was spring plowing in the south, and many farmers delayed planting due to illness, which led to the spread of famine.

Jiang Shen went south to relieve the famine.

"But that ointment is useless now." Lin Jianxue said.

Jiang Shen was taken aback.

"The ointment developed by the government can indeed alleviate the condition, but the condition of the newly infected villagers has worsened than before. When Dr. Youfang went to the mountain to look for me, several of them were bedridden and dying. He was desperate and wanted to Ask me if there is anything I can do."

Lin Jianxue said: "...he probably regarded my medicine as a panacea."

His life-sustaining elixir is just to make up for the lack of energy, to hang his life first, buy enough time for the body, and heal other injuries.

He was able to heal Li Ruan's injury like Li Ruan's meridian destruction, he healed Jiang Shen's injury from falling off a cliff, and he was able to heal the wind-cold of the wife of the scholar's family back then.

But he can't cure this strange disease that has no cure.

No cause can be found, no cure can be found, even if there is a fairy medicine to temporarily hang his life, it will not help.

Moreover, once the condition worsens, it is possible to be infected by touching the patient's skin ulcer.If you don't control it from the source, no matter how many pills Lin Jianxue refines, it will be useless.

This kind of thing can only be handed over to the government.

Jiang Shen asked, "Why didn't I know this?"

The villages near the capital are so close to the imperial city, how could there be no news about it?

"Shouldn't this be asked to your imperial court?" Lin Jianxue said leisurely, "The capital is so lively these days, those who scheme against others, those who profit from it, and those who are alone. The water in this pool is so messed up, who cares about those little fish and little ones?" Are the shrimp dead or alive?"

Jiang Shen lowered his eyes: "Senior taught you well."

"I didn't intend to teach you a lesson, I just told the truth." Lin Jianxue looked at the dancing flames in front of her, and said leisurely, "From ancient times to the present, there has never been a dynasty change, not because those in power ignored the sufferings of the people. If this matter has been ignored, You know what to expect."

In the north of the Huaihe River, the spring plowing time is a month or two later than that in the south. If the disease breaks out on a large scale like last year, it will affect the spring plowing again.

Although the dynasty supports trade, the foundation of the country is still farming.Last year, this strange disease only appeared in some small towns and mountain villages in the south, and it brought about half a year of famine.

If cultivation is affected for two consecutive years, the consequences will be disastrous.

It might even shake the stability of the imperial court.

However, the two strange diseases happened at this time... Is it just a coincidence?

Jiang Shen quickly thought about it in his heart, and said: "Thank you for reminding me, senior, I will return to Beijing as soon as possible and order someone to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Lin Jianxue stopped talking to him, got up: "I've finished what I want to say, go back to sleep."

"Eh?" Li Ruan quickly stopped him, "Axue, don't you want some fish soup?"

Just now when the two talked, Li Ruan was able to interject a few words at first, but then he couldn't understand much, so he simply stopped listening.He filled himself with fish soup, and now he has quietly drank two large bowls.

"No, I don't need to raise a baby."

Lin Jianxue smiled, but still looked down into the pot.

"Crusch carp soup?" Lin Jianxue understood, and turned her head to look at Jiang Shen, "You want Ruan Ruan to give milk so early?"

Jiang Shen: "Cough cough——"

He choked, coughed violently, and tried to explain: "Senior, I'm not..."

But Lin Jianxue ignored him, smiled slightly, turned and left the cave.

Only Li Ruan held the empty bowl after finishing the second bowl of fish soup, and asked doubtfully, "What is milk?"

"that is……"

Jiang Shen wanted to speak but stopped for a moment, his gaze moved down unconsciously, and landed on Li Ruan's chest.

The boy was thin and thin, and his chest was of course flat and thin.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to have...

But according to common sense, he himself would not be pregnant, and now that he is pregnant with a child, is he...

Jiang Shen didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes averted.

"It's nothing." He answered vaguely, took the soup bowl in Li Ruan's hand, and scooped him a third full bowl of fish soup.

The ears turned red strangely: "Drink more."
