Chapter 185 - Coalescence Against Plague 3
Seeing her as calm as usual, Xiao Qingqian actually felt drowsy for a moment.
Was it because she was heartless towards anyone?
Or could it be that her heartache was so great that she could only pretend to be calm to hide it?
… ….
In that moment, Xiao Qingqian felt that Wei Qing was like a gust of wind, a ball of fog that people could not see or understand.
Wei Qing quickly turned her grief into strength and began to study the new medicine formula with all her might.
Xiao Qingqian tried his best to use her as a shield to calm the emotions of the people from the isolation zone. At the start, the chaotic situation had slowly calmed down because of him joining the competition.
Every time Chu Yin passed the short note over to Wei Qing, he would always be stopped by Xiao Qingqian. Looking at those short note that were filled with deep love, Xiao Qingqian was truly mad with jealousy!
When he brought food over to Wei Qing and saw that the food on the table was already cold, she did not move a single bit and could not help but frown.
"What if you get the plague?"
Suddenly hearing his voice, Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat. She placed her hand on her chest, "Didn't you know that a person could scare a person to death?"
Xiao Qingqian pressed her down on the table and ordered her to eat faster.
Ever since Wei Qing knew that Chu Yin was about to get married after this plague, she had been very sad. It was just that she wanted to use her work to numb herself, so she really didn't have any appetite right now.
Xiao Qingqian could probably guess what Wei Qing was thinking about, but she was his wangfei, so how could she think about other men?
He grabbed her hand without saying a word and shoved the chopsticks into her hand. "If you don't eat, then I'll have to feed you!"
Wei Qing gasped for breath, she picked up a mouthful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it again and again, but could not swallow it.
Xiao Qingqian's gaze grew dimmer and dimmer. "Do you really want this king to feed you?"
Wei Qing was frightened by him and actually swallowed it. In order to ease this strange atmosphere, she changed the topic, "How have you been feeling these past few days?"
"As long as you don't see the wangfei, you won't feel pain."
Wei Qing replied with an "Oh", and silently placed the chopsticks down.
His eyebrows were twisted into a knot as he stared straight at Wei Qing.
Suddenly, he felt a cold Qi sweeping towards him, Wei Qing could not help but rub his neck, "I have been researching new medicinal prescription and adding a few medicines, it is much more dangerous than before. It wasn't easy for you to calm the emotions of these people. If something were to go wrong with the drug, I'm afraid … "
Before she could finish, his large hand grabbed hers again.
She struggled, but she couldn't break free.
"If you are worried, This King has a way."
Wei Qing blinked her eyes, "What?"
"As long as you are certain that you are confident, everything will be up to This King!"
A huge unease suddenly surfaced in her heart, "Xiao Qingqian, don't mess around!"
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. "How do you know this is nonsense?"
Wei Qing focused on him, at that moment, the orange light of the candle flame was coated his handsome face with a faint gold light, making him look unreal.
The light in Xiao Qingqian's eyes became gentler and gentler, "Do you have confidence in winning?"
Wei Qing pursed her lips, her expression grave, "Your chances of success are not high, but, it's way bigger than before, at most seventy to eighty percent."
Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright, this king knows what to do!"
As she looked at him, the unease in her heart grew. "Don't act recklessly. If no one is willing to try out the medicine, I will think of a way to do it step by step."
What they were most afraid of right now was not the speed at which the plague spread, but the anger of the people!
If the people were angered, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Xiao Qingqian nodded, "Eat some more."
Xiao Qingqian raised his eyebrows. "It looks like Princess Hua-Yang really wants this king to feed you!"
"I …"
He sealed Wei Qing's acupuncture points without saying a word, picked up his chopsticks, picked up some food, and handed it over to her, "Don't tell me you want this king to feed you mouth to mouth?"
Hearing this, her heartstrings fiercely shook.
She had seen Xiao Qingqian's shamelessness, it was simply unacceptable!
Taking a deep breath, she reluctantly opened her mouth.
All of these were quickly spread out by Chu Yin's men.
When Chu Yin heard that the relationship between Xiao Qingqian and himself was getting better and better, and that he had even personally fed food to Wei Qing, his heart felt like it was suffocating. Thinking about the short note that he had consecutively handed over, the corners of his mouth curled up bitterly.
It looks like Wei Qing really intended to draw a clear line between them!
"This prince understands. You should retreat first and pay close attention to the situation. This prince must not let the plague spread any further!"
"Yes, your subordinate accepts the order!"
Chu Yin stood in front of the window and looked up at the sky, his heart throbbing in pain.
Seeing Chu Tiange, who was dressed in red, walking over, a hint of joy quickly surfaced in Chu Yin's eyes.
"Tian Ge, why are you here?"
"Back then, royal father was worried that the crown prince would interfere, so he sent me to a place and obtained the medicinal ingredients. "What's the situation like?" Chu Tiange sized Chu Yin up from head to toe, confirming that he was safe and sound before letting out a sigh of relief.
"The situation is not bad. She's here!"
Chu Tiange was stunned, for a moment he could not figure out who this "she" was.
"If it wasn't for her, the plague wouldn't have been controlled!"
Chu Tiange's eyes rolled around, and finally guessed who he was. With a face full of smiles, he said, "Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister and you are really close!"
One had to know, that with Wei Qing's current identity, she definitely could not do many things without thinking.
Moreover, from the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, the national border was not something that could be reached so easily.
Wei Qing really had nothing to say to Seventh Brother!
Chu Yin's mouth revealed a bitter smile, "Prince Chu will also be with you."
"Huh?" Chu Tiange's face was filled with disbelief, but after a moment, she continued laughing, "Regardless of whether Prince Chu is by his side or not, Seventh Sister still has Seventh Brother in his heart!"
Chu Yin's face darkened, "Tian Ge, from now on, don't be so careless, she is Princess Chu, not your Seventh Sister!"
Hearing this, Chu Tiange's face was filled with surprise, "Seventh brother, what are you saying?"
It was obvious that when they were in the Northern Kingdom, as long as Wei Qing wasn't blind, she would be able to see through Wei Qing's thoughts.
Why did it seem like everything had changed in such a short time?
She couldn't figure out what was wrong, and since she was impatient, she decided to find Wei Qing to ask her about it.
But unexpectedly, Chu Yin stopped her with a low voice.
"Seventh Brother, you should always ask clearly. How did you suddenly become like this?"
Chu Yin let out a heavy breath of air, "If you still recognize this Seventh Brother of mine, then calm down a bit!"
"Brother Seven!" Chu Tiange was upset, "How did you suddenly become like this?"
