"Lu …"
Lu Linghui interrupted Jin Shu's words, "Has your Prince returned?"
"Also …" "No." Jin Shu looked at him with her eyes, but it was clear that she was restless. She seemed to ignore him and was slightly disappointed.
"Crap."
"Huh?"
"Earlier, when I was on the tower, I saw that it seemed like the wangfei rode her horse out of the city gates. Now that the outer city is in chaos, I'm very worried that something might have happened to her."
Jinshu stood up in shock, nearly knocking over the plate of pastries on the table. "She's going to the outer city at a time like this?"
"Otherwise, why would I risk coming to the prince?"
Jin Shu pursed her lips and did not speak. She felt a wave of disappointment in her heart. Ever since that rainy night, she had rarely seen Lu Linghui here. It was a rare occasion for her to come here and actually turn a blind eye to her, making her feel that her hospitality was nothing but a joke.
"I'm leaving, I don't have time to wait for your highness to come back. Tell him that I've already dispatched people to follow her out of the city."
"Oh." Jin Zhui suppressed the disappointment in his heart. Just as he was about to go forward to greet them, Lu Linghui's action of standing up knocked over the teacup and drenched his entire body.
Jinshi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped him down in a panic, urging him to change clothes with her.
Lu Linghui hesitated for a moment. Looking at her wet clothes, he had no other choice but to follow her out. He found a room to clean up, and then changed into the clothes that Jin Shu had brought.
When he walked out the door, she looked at him blankly for a moment. He was dressed in a long green robe with a white train underneath. It was rare for him to lose the heroic bearing of a warrior, adding a touch of gentleness and gentleness to his clothes.
Seeing that she was staring at him, Lu Linghui could not help but lower his head and ask, "Whose clothes are these?"
"Oh …" It is Young Master Liu's. " Of course, Jin Shu didn't dare to take Xiao Yi Xiu's clothes for him to change. She also felt that Suifeng and the rest of the servants' clothes were too underestimating him, so she went to find Liu Yanyu's clothes for him to change into.
Lu Linghui did not care too much about it. He put on his bamboo hat and hurriedly left, not paying any attention to Jin Shu's dejected face.
"Little girl, are you longing for spring?" Yu Ying jumped out of nowhere and knocked on Jin Zhui's forehead.
Jin Shu pushed her away in annoyance. "The wangfei went to the outer city. Vice Commander Lu told me to inform His Highness that I was afraid something might happen to her."
Yu Ying was stunned, "Go to the outer city?"
Gu Qing Li was in the middle of a makeshift fortification, staring at the ruins in shock. It hadn't been long since the place looked like it had been robbed, and it was obvious that there had been some disturbances and fights, and there were even dried up old blood stains on some inconspicuous parts of the beams and pillars in the corner. Most of the patients in the fortifications were no longer people she knew, but new ones instead.
Gu Qing Li hurriedly swept her gaze in a circle. She grabbed a soldier and asked him about the situation. The man stammered and stammered. She changed the question and said a few words to her.
It was said that a few days ago, roughly the same thing happened in the inner city. After taking the medicine, the disease became even worse, and those patients outside the city who were already better suffered from violent injury, mixed battles, repression, and bloodshed. Most of the patients who were suppressed were killed on the spot, but even so, the matter could not be resolved.
"How can this be? That... "Then why aren't there any attacks from the patients in the simple construction?"
"Because there's a new doctor here with the surname Liu. The prescription he prescribed seems to be effective against their illnesses. Some patients with mild illnesses don't attack others after taking the medicine …" Hey hey, don't run around miss, it's dangerous everywhere here! " This soldier seemed to have been redeployed here only later, and actually didn't recognize Gu Qingli. He warmly reminded her to be careful.
Gu Qingli didn't have much time to talk to him, so she hastily went back into the fortifications. She searched through the rooms until she finally saw Feng Zi mixed in, taking care of the patient. Her long hair was tied up like clouds and there were white flowers on her temples.
Gu Qing lowered himself into the water and called out.
Feng Zi turned around, her face frosty as she walked over.
Gu Qing Li noticed that the black patches that had disappeared on Feng Zi's body became obvious again. Luckily, she was in good spirits and didn't look like those patients in the inner city. The whites of her eyes were full of black slivers that wiggled like a network.
"Phoenix Purple …"
Just as Gu Qing Li opened her mouth, Feng Zi suddenly slapped him.
With Gu Qingli's skill, she would never have been able to stand next to her. However, she had been too shocked at that moment. She had never expected Feng Zi to hit her with her hand. She was stunned for a moment.
The palm blew past Gu Qingli's face, and just as Feng Zi's fingers were about to touch her cheek, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. She heard a gentle but unquestionable light reprimand: "Miss Ding, don't be so rude."
The voice was so familiar, always gentle and polite, with the serenity of a recluse.
He didn't need to turn his head to see that the image of a bandit leader had already surfaced in Gu Qing Li's mind, a face as gentle as a wall.
Feng Zi unwillingly withdrew her hand, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Gu Qingli, as if she was looking at an enemy of her own.
"Miss Ding, you are too impulsive. You have something to say."
Gu Qingli slowly turned her head, and the man who had spoken also looked at her. Their eyes met, and they froze, as if they had been separated by a lifetime.
"Li Yue... Wang … "Princess Hua-Yang." When Liu Yanyu uttered those two words, it seemed extremely difficult. It was equivalent to admitting her identity.
"Sir Liu, long time no see."
Liu Yanyu composed himself and smiled, "That's right. I traveled the world and heard that the capital city was affected by a plague, so I rushed back a thousand miles. I didn't expect that it would still be too late. How's the wangfei doing? "
Gu Qingli only had her clear eyes peeking out from within the red gauze. Other than her pretty eyebrows and long eyelashes, she looked the same. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion and emaciation, which she couldn't hide.
"I'm not so good, but isn't this the epidemic situation that we should be discussing more? Feng Zi, why are you filled with hatred towards me? What about Ding Lang? " Actually, Gu Qingli had already guessed what was going on the moment she saw the white flowers on Feng Zi's hair, but she was still hoping for a different answer from Feng Zi's mouth.
Feng Zi's bright eyes dimmed, and looked at her with hatred. "If it weren't for your medicine, why would everyone's illness have suddenly worsened after you left, and even began to attack each other? That night, they would bite anyone they saw and would fight everywhere with unparalleled strength … My dad... "He died that very night …"
Her voice broke off as she sobbed in grief, "I don't even know who killed him. In the chaos and darkness, there are only sword beams and blood shadows … I was hidden by him in a half-full vat of water to avoid disaster... "But he died without a complete corpse …"
"Was Ding Lang still conscious at that time?" To be able to hide Feng Zi in the vat meant that he was naturally still awake.
"My father has always been awake, but …"
"Is he, like everyone else, getting worse?" Gu Qing Li keenly captured some useful information. Perhaps Feng Zi hadn't thought about it in detail, which was why she was so impulsive and thought that there was a problem with her prescription.
Feng Zi froze for a moment. She pondered for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
