Madam, she always wants to run away

Chapter 42
The time of more than ten days is not long or short, but it is enough for Xiao Lian to change from a strong and burly man to a skinny person.

Li Ying looked at Xiao Lian who was dying on the hospital bed, the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a "dang", and she flung herself down beside Xiao Lian recklessly.

"You are so sick, why didn't you tell me!"

Xiao Lian didn't have the strength to answer her, he raised his hand with great effort, trying to push Li Ying out, but the hand was only raised in the air, and then hung down lifelessly.

Xiao Lian closed his eyes and completely fell into a coma.

"Husband, husband!" Li Ying was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but she knew that now was not the time to cry, so she held back her emotions and ordered someone to invite Duan Yanlin immediately.

Duan Yanlin hurried over with a medicine jar in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Lian unconscious on the hospital bed, he almost lost his footing.

"Physician Duan, come and take a look, what's wrong with the prince?"

Duan Yanlin stepped forward hesitantly, he didn't dare, he didn't dare to see Wang Ye getting sicker and sicker under his treatment.

He put down the medicine jar, stretched out his hand to check the prince's breath, then retracted his hand hesitantly.

"Duan Yanlin, what happened to my husband!" Li Ying was stung by this action.

"My lord, he has a persistent high fever and weak pulse, I'm afraid it's..."

"Stop! I don't want to listen to what you say, I just ask you, is my husband still saved?!"

Duan Yanlin looked at the medicine pot on the table, then at Xiao Lian on the hospital bed, and after struggling for a long time, he made up his mind and said, "This is the last prescription I can think of. If it doesn't work, I can only... apologise with death." Already!"

Li Ying couldn't help cursing: "What's the use of you being dead? Hurry up and try the medicine, don't talk too much!"

Duan Yanlin poured the dark medicine into a bowl, Li Ying took it carefully, cooled the medicine patiently, and slowly fed it into Xiao Lian's mouth.

But how could Xiao Lian, who was already in a coma, drink the decoction?The concoction quickly flowed out of his mouth and seeped into his collar.

Li Ying hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief: "What should I do?"

Duan Yanlin suggested from the side: "Why don't you try it, Wangfei, and feed it with your mouth?"

……

At this time, Li Ying didn't want any restraint anymore, she waved her hand: "You guys go out first."

"Follow orders." Duan Yanlin led the others out of the room very sensibly.

Only Xiao Lian and Li Ying were left in the room. Li Ying glanced at the bowl of black and viscous decoction in his hand, first took a deep breath, then pinched his nose with his hands vigorously, closed his eyes, and drank a large amount of soup. a mouthful.

She bent down, gropingly opened Xiao Lian's closed mouth with her own lips, and then poured in the soup little by little.

After Li Ying finished feeding the big mouthful of medicinal juice in his mouth, sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian, you must get better." Li Ying said silently in her heart.

After feeding the medicine, Li Ying tucked Xiao Lian under the quilt for a while, checked the temperature of Xiao Lian's forehead for a while, wiped his sweat for a while, and fell asleep lying on the bedside without knowing it.

In Xiao Lian's room that night, the candle was lit until the wick burned out.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Ying vaguely felt that her neck was a little sore in her sleep, but she felt it again, no, why is there still a numbness in her neck?
She opened her eyes sleepily, and found that the numbness on her neck was nothing else, it was Xiao Lian who was gently kneading her neck.

Li Ying first rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and when she saw Xiao Lian smiling at her with her eyes open, she patted her face in a daze, and said, "Am I dreaming?"

Xiao Lian quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Are you stupid?"

Xiao Lian's voice was still weak, but at least he woke up and could speak.

Li Ying regained his energy immediately, opened his eyes wide and said, "Are you really awake?!"

"Can there be a fake?"

"Wait." Li Ying stretched out her hand to explore, and said pleasantly, "Your fever has subsided!"

"The medicine given by Madam herself, if I still don't get better, wouldn't it be a waste of your pains?"

Li Ying's face flushed immediately: "You...you know?"

Xiao Lian touched his mouth subconsciously, and said with a smile, "I just can't open my eyes, but I'm still conscious."

Li Ying's face became even redder, she turned around, and said coyly, "I'll ask Imperial Doctor Duan to take a look."

Looking at the back of Li Ying trotting away, Xiao Lian couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

After a while, Duan Yanlin, who still looked sleepy, was urged by Li Ying to come over.

"Physician Duan, take a quick look, is this a cure or a flashback?"

Duan Yanlin was so frightened by the words "returning light and returning to the light", he became sober in an instant: "Princess, be careful!"

Li Ying quickly covered her mouth: "Bah, bah, I mean, is the prince really getting better?"

Duan Yanlin took Xiao Lian's pulse, checked everywhere, and finally said: "It's amazing, it's really amazing!"

"What, what's so amazing?" Li Ying slandered in her heart. Could it be that this group of imperial doctors like to be secretive when they talk?

"When I went out yesterday, I accidentally found a medicinal herb in a field of weeds. I never thought of adding it to the prescription. The prince suddenly fell ill last night. I haven't had time to study it carefully. I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Give the medicine to the prince first. Unexpectedly, I hit him right on the wrong side!"

Looking at the ecstatic Duan Yanlin, Li Ying didn't know whether to scold him or praise him.

"The most difficult part of this disease is that the patient will continue to have a fever. Now the prince's fever has subsided, and then it can be treated as an ordinary illness."

"Really?" Li Ying's eyes were full of expectation.

"It's absolutely true. I have to hurry up to gather herbs and make medicine. Third Miss and other patients are still waiting for treatment."

"Yes, yes, you go quickly."

Duan Yanlin impatiently walked towards the pharmacy, Li Ying grabbed Xiao Lian's hand excitedly and said, "Now you finally don't have to worry about hurting me."

"Thanks to Madam, for saving my life."

As soon as this was mentioned, Li Ying became furious, and she angrily shook Xiao Lian's hand away.

Xiao Lian looked puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"Speaking of which, I get angry. You are so sick, and you still want to hide it from me. If I didn't break in, you are planning to die of illness before letting me know!"

Xiao Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's still not to the point of death, I still know that in my heart."

"You didn't die, but I was almost scared to death by you!"

"Ma'am, I was wrong. For the sake of my serious illness, please forgive me." Xiao Lian was lying on the bed, pulling the corner of Li Ying's clothes, with a pitiful appearance.

"Hmph, let's not take this as an example." Li Ying was just pretending, how could she really leave Xiao Lian behind.

"As ordered!"

"Hungry, I'll get you something to eat."

"it is good."

Li Ying excitedly went to the dining room.

Needless to say, several Anlefangs have already spread the news that Duan Taiyi developed the prescription. The atmosphere is full of joy that has never been felt before.

Under Li Ying's day and night care, Xiao Lian gradually improved. Cao Wenxian had a mild illness, but after taking a few doses of medicine, she had already returned to her usual lively appearance. Duan Yanlin's face was no longer clouded, and she could often see a smile.

One autumn rain and one cold, the days in Nanhe City passed quickly, and autumn was coming to an end in a blink of an eye.

Before going to sleep that day, Li Ying leaned against the window, looking at the peaceful scene of An Le Fang outside the window, she couldn't help sighing: "It's so good."

Xiao Lian took Li Ying into his arms from behind, smelled the fragrance of her body, and said: "This time, my family Yingying has made a great contribution."

Although there was no one passing by here, Li Ying wanted to break away from his embrace shyly, but Xiao Lian's arms tightened and hugged her even tighter.

"You said, did I do a lot of good things in my previous life, so I can meet you in this life?"

Li Ying was originally full of sweetness in his heart, but when he suddenly heard the words "previous life", thinking of the kindness and resentment between him and Xiao Lian in his previous life, he was in a complicated mood and didn't answer.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Lian's gentle voice came from above his head again.

Li Ying shook her head, said: "It's nothing, I just thought, if life can continue to be good like this..."

"Will do."

As soon as Xiao Lian's words fell, a guard reported loudly outside the door: "My lord, it's not good, something happened!"

Xiao Lian frowned, quickly put the coat on Li Ying's body, then opened the door and asked, "Why are you panicking?"

"My lord, when we counted the number of people, we found that there are a few patients missing in the Anlefang everywhere."

"Did you find out where it went?"

"According to the list, those patients were all homeless, and we had no way of finding out. Until the guards who were watching the night just now found out..."

"Go on."

"They found that all the soldiers guarding the city tonight were killed!"

"What?!" Li Ying exclaimed, "Who did it?"

The guard shook his head: "We only found these so far, my lord, what should we do next?"

Xiao Lian said decisively: "Call out the men and horses immediately, and go after them!"

"My lord, your body..."

"It's okay, this matter is of great importance. If the plague spreads to other places, it will be the most troublesome."

The guard said: "Fortunately, Imperial Physician Duan has already developed a prescription."

"Confused!" Xiao Lian interrupted him: "Don't think that once you have a prescription, you can cure it once and for all. Plagues have never been static since ancient times. The more they spread, the less effective the medicine may be. Besides, a plague will affect the people, the people, and the people. You have also seen how much it has affected Sheji these days."

"It's my subordinates who are short-sighted."

"Needless to say, call the troops and set off immediately."

"Yes!"

Xiao Lian turned around and was about to go out, but Li Ying hurriedly stopped him: "Are you really going?"

Xiao Lian raised his eyebrows: "Can this be fake?"

"He's right, your body is not made to travel long distances to catch people."

"Yingying." Xiao Lian gently pushed her hand away: "Others don't understand, but you know me best. This matter is about Jiangshan Sheji. If I don't make a move, who will make a move?"

Li Ying couldn't bear it: "Can't you just let yourself go..."

"If I let myself go, who will let me go? The most urgent thing is to kill this conspiracy halfway, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. Yingying, you don't need to persuade me anymore. It's okay for people in the world to understand me, but you must stand by me." Here."

What else could Li Ying say, she sighed, and put her coat back on Xiao Lian: "Be careful on the road."

Xiao Lian squeezed her hand, turned around and got into the dark night.

The night wind blew on Xiao Lian's face like a knife, but he didn't care.All the way he was thinking, who is willing to take the risk of beheading to send a patient suffering from the plague out of the city?What is his purpose in doing this?
The first doubt in Xiao Lian's mind was Xiao Ling.Judging from what Xiao Ling has done in the past few times, he hates Xiao Lian deeply. If this plan succeeds, even though Xiao Lian has made great contributions to the flood control of Nanhe City, he has made mistakes in preventing the plague. After all, Xiao Lian couldn't eat and walked around, just as Xiao Ling wanted.

But let's not talk about Xiaoling being ordered by the emperor to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors in the mansion. To put it bluntly, she is under house arrest. Even if he has the ability to set up many traps in Nanhe City, which is more than 600 kilometers away from the capital, it may be beyond his reach.

And according to Xiao Lian's understanding of Xiao Ling's influence, Nanhe City has never been touched.

That's weird, who could it be?
Xiao Lian didn't continue to dwell on this issue. When those villains were caught and interrogated carefully, they would surely find out some clues.The most difficult thing now is to decide where to stop those plague patients.

If they want to spread the plague, then there is definitely not only one destination for these people.The closest cities to Nanhe City take one day's journey, and the furthest one takes three days' journey. Those people must have done it around dusk. It has been at least an hour so far, and it is not easy to travel at night. If they are lucky, they may still have the possibility to catch up.

"We divide our troops into three groups, and we must stop those patients!"

"Yes!"

The road was muddy after the flood, so it was extremely bumpy. After half an hour, Xiao Lian felt that he was powerless, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly.

Damn it, Xiao Lian cursed secretly in his heart, he gritted his teeth and continued on his way without showing any signs of his unbelievable body.

From night to dawn, Xiao Lian felt that his head was about to be blown apart by the cold wind, but he still didn't see any suspicious traces.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Hold on to me!" Xiao Lian roared, not only to the other subordinates who were numb from the cold, but also to encourage himself.Even the horses seemed to understand what he said, let out a long cry, and galloped forward.

When the group was approaching the gate of Yongjia County, Xiao Lian saw a few people standing outside the city gate guarding a cart from a distance. They seemed to be negotiating with the guards and did not notice Xiao Lian and his party behind them.

At a glance, Xiao Lian knew that those burly people were Lian Jiazi, and the push cart was the best tool for hiding people, so it was very likely that they were the people they were looking for.

Xiao Lian made a decisive decision: "It is very likely that it is that group of people. Abandon the horse and outflank the horse from both sides. Don't startle the snake."

"Yes!"

The eyes of the group of people were all lit up, this is the look that wolves only have when they see their prey.
