Chapter 184 - Coalescence Against Plague 2
Those villagers who had symptoms of fever were all sent to the isolation zone. Wei Qing wrote down the instructions and gave it to Chu Yin and Xiao Qingqian, telling them to quickly organize the people to check the nearby water sources and to immediately distribute the medicine to the villagers who did not have symptoms of fever.
Some villagers, who were worried that they wouldn't be able to come out after entering the isolation zone, decided to hide it when their families suffered from high fever. This caused Chu Yin and Xiao Qingqian to have a headache.
Xiao Qingqian contacted Chen Cheng, and after confirming that there was no one in the Northern Kingdom with a high fever, he focused all of his attention on the Southern Kingdom's side.
Wei Qing had already been in the isolation zone for three days, and during these three days, more and more people were being carried into the isolation zone.
At this moment, her hair was in disarray and her expression was abnormally ugly.
The plague's development was beyond her expectations. Normal medicinal prescription were unable to control the plague's speed.
Seeing that another corpse had been brought out, Wei Qing's eyes were filled with sorrow.
She suddenly felt that she was very useless!
Right at this moment, a hand firmly gripped her shoulder, making her back tighten into a line.
After being stunned for a moment, she quickly turned her head, and the word "A" was about to spill out of her mouth. When she met Xiao Qingqian's eyes that were filled with worry, it slowly slid down her throat.
"Who would have thought that it would be This King?" Xiao Qingqian frowned, a layer of frost appearing in his eyes.
Wei Qing's face changed, "The situation here is very complicated, why did you come here?"
When facing Chu Yin, he was as gentle as water, and when facing him, he was even roaring like a lion in the river. Xiao Qingqian really did not understand how he was worse than Chu Yin!
"I'm worried about wangfei!"
"Do you know that once you enter this place, you cannot leave as you wish?"
Xiao Qingqian nodded.
"Since you know that you're still coming in, is there something wrong with your head?"
The light in Xiao Qingqian's eyes suddenly became deeper, and suddenly grabbed onto Wei Qing's wrist, pulling her into her embrace, instantly looking into her eyes that were filled with anger.
"Perhaps this king has a screw loose in his brain, so I'm worried that the wangfei will involuntarily enter this place!"
The expression in his eyes right now was simply too complicated and profound, causing Wei Qing's heart to jump even faster.
Along the way, Wei Qing was very sure of one thing, he cared about himself more and more!
Only, she already had A Yin in her heart, and towards Xiao Qingqian, it was only out of friendship.
"This king has already contacted Chen Cheng to strengthen the defenses within the northern borders. I would definitely not let a random person into the northern borders. The Southern Kingdom is in a rather complicated situation. There is a saying that goes: Husband and wife were originally in the same forest, so This King will stay here to accompany the wangfei! "
Wei Qing's eyes flashed, it was not that she was not moved, but that feeling also disappeared in a moment.
"I'm afraid you've forgotten the second half of the sentence. It's a disaster …"
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were stopped by Xiao Qingqian's pointers, "This king has already made up my mind. Moreover, now that this king has already come in, I'm afraid I can't go out either!"
Wei Qing vexedly spat out a mouthful of impure Qi, "Xiao Qingqian, you're really annoying!"
"Being able to be bothered by an imperial concubine is much better than an imperial concubine being indifferent to this duke!" He smirked and looked around. "It seems like the situation is not looking good!"
Wei Qing nodded her head, "The plague this time is very strange, ordinary medicinal prescription cannot control it at all. I am currently trying to figure out a new method, but it seems like everyone's emotions are very unstable right now!"
"You really fought hard for the South Country!"
Wei Qing ruthlessly rolled his eyes at him, "Since the Southern Kingdom is so close to the Northern Kingdom, I naturally have to do my best!"
Xiao Qingqian let out a light hum, and was about to say something but stopped himself.
Wei Qing frowned, "What do you want to say? Don't hold back!"
It was not his style to hold back when he wanted to say something!
Xiao Qingqian looked at her with a complicated gaze. She frowned, not knowing what he was hiding from her.
"Accompany This King to see what the situation is like!"
He changed the topic, and Wei Qing no longer pursued the topic. After bringing him to the isolation zone to see it, Xiao Qingqian tried his best to comfort the villagers that were not infected by the poison.
"This king is a Prince Chu of the Northern Kingdom. This time, I have come to accompany everyone in fighting the plague. I believe that the heavens will not kill me!"
Xiao Qingqian looked at Wei Qing who was rubbing his forehead, and continued to console him as much as he could, to the point that smoke was almost coming out from his throat, only then did the villagers quiet down.
Wei Qing looked at him with gratitude, "This time, I really have to thank you properly!"
He said hoarsely, "Do you have to be so courteous to This King?"
Wei Qing only felt that the hand he held was extremely uncomfortable.
"Um …" What was the thing that you wanted to say but hesitated? " she asked after a moment of silence.
"Given how complicated the situation is, I might as well forget about it!"
The more he said nothing, the more curious Wei Qing became. She looked at her without blinking, "If you really want me to be at ease, then tell me!"
She had seen great storms and great waves, so she believed that nothing could disturb her!
Xiao Qingqian looked at her with a bit of worry. This kind of expression made the unease in his heart grow heavier.
"It's impossible between you and Chu Yin, so it's fine if I tell you!"
Related to A Yin?!
It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in Wei Qing's mind, but she tried her best to appear calm.
"I heard that Emperor of the South Kingdom intends to grant Chu Yin a marriage, and the person bestowed the marriage is Princess He Yue! I reckon that after this disaster, he will very soon be crowned king! "
Wei Qing's eyes were wide opened, and the word "arranged marriage" kept spinning in her head, to the point that she couldn't hear what Xiao Qingqian said after.
Chu Yin was actually going to get married?!
Wei Qing's chest felt as though there was a pair of hands pulling hard on it, causing her to suffocate from the pain.
Xiao Qingqian worriedly held her in his arms, and lightly patted her back, "If you feel uncomfortable, just cry. This is the only time this king will spare you. After that, open your heart for This King! "
The wedding was something he had fabricated, and it had to do with the fact that Chu Yin and the news of the isolation zone could not get back to each other in time.
And at this time, when he entered the isolation zone to accompany Wei Qing, was also a chance for him to fight for Wei Qing's heart.
It was just that he had forgotten one thing — Wei Qing was not a normal girl, even if it was impossible for him and Chu Yin to be together, it was also impossible for her and Xiao Qingqian to be together.
She bit her lips, doing her best to force the tears that were getting thicker and thicker away, and pulled them away from Xiao Qingqian's embrace, "Then congratulations to him!"
