Chapter 264 He Can't Gamble
Lu Huaining didn't know what Xiao Chenyan and Shen Ruzhou were thinking, but he just watched the two people walking side by side towards the isolation area, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable and angry.
"No! I can't let my beautiful sister be alone with King Wu Cheng. He is not worthy of my sister at all!"
He followed without thinking, but Bei Xiuyan grabbed him by the collar, making him unable to move an inch.
Lu Huaining's face turned red with anxiety, "Master, my beautiful sister is about to be snatched away, why are you not anxious at all!"
Bei Xiuyan looked at him, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.He said calmly: "Huaining, the military camp is in danger, you should go back home first."
"Master, I have grown up. You can't protect me whenever there is danger, as if I am too weak or too valuable!"
Lu Huaining's little face was bulging with anger. He raised his head with firm eyes and stood straight.
"Master, the edge of a sword is sharpened. It is what you said that it is difficult for a person to become successful without going through hardships and hardships. Master can protect Huaining for a while, can he still protect Huaining for a lifetime?"
"Master, Huaining is not afraid of danger. Huaining has learned a lot of medical skills from her sister these days. Huaining can protect herself. Moreover, now is the time to employ people, and Huaining also wants to contribute to the military camp. Master, you can Let Huaining go!"
Lu Huaining's words were like a pebble, causing ripples in Bei Xiuyan's heart.
He looked at the young man in front of him, whom he had almost single-handedly raised, with mixed emotions in his eyes. Huaining had grown up and was no longer the child who needed to be protected by him all the time.
He hoped that he could stand taller and it was time to let go and practice.
Bei Xiuyan loosened Lu Huaining's collar, smoothed the wrinkles of his clothes with his long fingers, and then patted the young man's shoulder.
Lu Huaining understood this and bowed respectfully to the North Xiuyan, "Master, I'm going."
"Go."
Beixiu Yan only said two words, but they weighed a thousand pounds. This burden was shouldered by him from the first moment he saw Lu Huaining. Years of hard work have not been in vain. Huaining has lived up to his painstaking upbringing after all. .
Beixiu Yan glanced at Qin Ming, who immediately understood and chased in the direction of Lu Huaining.
After following Bei Xiuyan for many years, Qin Ming knew very well that the regent treated Lu Huaining unusually, treating him like a treasure. The relationship between them far exceeded that of master and disciple.
To put it bluntly, even his colleagues did not treat their youngest son with the same care and love as the regent.
……
In Prince Yu's palace, Prince Yu discussed the treatment of the plague with his advisers for a long time, but he didn't realize that it was getting dark.
Now is a critical moment, and there is no room for sloppiness. He carefully went over what happened recently, and it became even more headache. The disaster relief matter was already very difficult, and Xiao Chenyan's people continued to add obstacles to him.
Thinking of this, King Yu bit his back teeth and cursed secretly: How come this Xiao Chenyan didn't die of illness?
After seeing off the counselor and hearing from the housekeeper that the princess was back, King Yu's expression relaxed. He rubbed his frown and hurried to the backyard.
In the room, Mu Wanqing was changing her clothes. When Prince Yu came in, she smiled shyly and bowed down, "Your Majesty."
Prince Yu stepped forward and helped her up, "No need to be polite."
He saw that Mu Wanqing had taken off half of her outer shirt when visiting guests, so he took it thoughtfully and handed it to the maid below to help her put it away.
"You went to see the concubine, but did you see King Wu Cheng? His illness is really cured?"
There was a hint of urgency on King Yu's face. He originally asked Mu Wanqing to use the visit to inquire about the news. He urgently wanted to know whether the plague could really be cured.
Mu Wanqing's tone was calm, without too much emotion, "It looks like it's almost good."
"You're really lucky." King Yu snorted coldly. Seeing that Mu Wanqing had changed out of her inner shirt and exposed her snow-white shoulders, he couldn't help but bury his head in it and kissed her carefully.
A trace of disgust flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal, with a smile on her face and said: "Before leaving, I seemed to see King Wu Cheng going to the military camp."
"What?" Prince Yu raised his head in surprise, holding Mu Wanqing's hand and squeezing it instantly, "Did you see clearly, Xiao Chenyan really went to the military camp?"
Mu Wanqing said casually, "I went. I heard that Princess Wucheng was treating the plague in the military camp. Xiao Chenyan probably came to find her."
"What kind of plague will Shen Ruzhou cure? It's probably Xiao Chenyan's excuse for going to the military camp."
King Yu had never looked down on Shen Ruzhou, thinking that she was just a jealous woman who only competed in the backyard.
King Yu continued to bury his head in the warm fragrant soft jade, and his hands kept wandering around Mu Wanqing's back.
"Is it possible to go to the military camp if you want to? I heard from Jun Wu of Prince Wucheng's Palace that the guards around the regent invited Xiao Chenyan to come there."
Prince Yu suddenly stopped what he was doing, and his eyes became as dark as dark, "Did the personal guards of the Northern Xiu Banquet come to invite you in person? Has he already decided to side with Xiao Chenyan?"
With Bei Xiuyan's powerful position, if he really cooperated with Xiao Chenyan, how would he have any chance of winning?
"No, we must find a way to destroy it. We can't let Beixiu Yan and Xiao Chenyan get their way."
Prince Yu's eyes were full of sternness. Mu Wanqing held his neck with both hands, shook him twice, and carefully advised: "My lord, Shen Ruzhou may not be able to cure the plague in the military camp. You might as well wait and see what happens."
"No, we can't wait! It's about the plague, we can't afford to gamble! Besides, regardless of whether she can cure the plague, I can't just watch Xiao Chenyan get too close to Beixiu Yan!
"King Yu raised his hand to brush Mu Wanqing's hair back from her shoulders, hugged her into his arms, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"I know that you are the most virtuous and gentle, and I hope that we brothers will be harmonious. But now that Xiao Chenyan's ambition has been exposed, I cannot take risks."
I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!
In the isolation area, the soldiers had their meals and queued up outside the treatment tent early.After Shen Ruzhou came over, he saw so many people coming and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he quickly took out the medicine box and prepared for treatment.
Xiao Chenyan also followed in. He had just observed the quarantine area and made a preliminary estimate of the number of people infected. It already exceeded half of the total number of people in the military camp. It seems that the plague here is indeed very serious.
But the more serious the situation, the better. This is a good opportunity for him to win over people's hearts.
Xiao Chenyan walked into the crowd, his eyebrows relaxed, and he looked like a gentle young man.
"Everyone line up and come one by one. I, the king and the princess, will definitely cure everyone's illness."
Seeing that he was so popular and standing beside the miracle doctor, the soldiers began to speculate on his identity.
"who is this?"
"He said that he and the princess would treat us. Is it possible that the doctor treating us now is the princess?"
"Which prince is he?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Shen Ruzhou finally remembered that he was busy seeing a doctor and forgot to introduce it to everyone.
She stood up, pointed at Xiao Chenyan and said: "This is King Wu Cheng. He was infected with the plague a few days ago and was about to die. After taking my medicine, he is now completely cured. If you don't believe it, you can take a look!"
