The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 157 She Sleeps Here

"Your Highness hasn't come back yet. Do you know where Master Cheng is? I'll go see him." After all, he is Shaoyi's brother, and he thought of what the girl had asked of him before she left.

She couldn't let that girl down.

"Yes, this way, young lady."

"Because Mr. Cheng's condition is quite serious, we have placed him separately, so there are relatively fewer people to take care of him here." Liu Qingqing explained as she led the way.

The two of them went in another direction together.

"Master Cheng is in here. I have something to deal with, so I won't accompany you."

"Ah."

Pushing open the door, a hoarse voice was heard, accompanied by bursts of coughing.

"Who? Didn't I tell you not to come in unless necessary?"

Just by hearing the voice, Bai Qianxi knew that his condition was much more serious than Ye Beiling's.

After all, Ye Beiling had drunk her blood before, so his body resistance was stronger.

"It's me. I came to see you."

Bai Qianxi spoke, but Cheng Shaoyi didn't recognize her voice at first until Bai Qianxi came closer, then he recognized her.

"Miss Bai Wu, it's you... why are you here? Ahem, this is not a place for a delicate little girl like you to come."

"Please leave now. My house smells bad."

Cheng Shaozhi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he recognized the person.

He had a deep impression of Bai Qianxi. After all, she was the first woman who dared to treat Ye Beiling in that way.

But Ye Beiling really suffered a loss at her hands.

"Now that I'm here, it's not up to you to decide whether to leave or not. You've made yourself like this. I don't know how sad your sister will be if she knew." Bai Qianxi frowned and looked at the disheveled person on the bed.

The torture of the illness has caused his face to become a little sunken, his complexion looks pale, and he looks very weak leaning on the bed.

"You can't tell her about this, cough cough, otherwise, she will cry." Even though he felt unwell all over, Cheng Shaozhi still forced a smile.

"I am such a handsome man, I can't let that girl have the opportunity to laugh at me."

"If your condition is not cured, it won't be as simple as her laughing at you." Bai Qianxi took a step forward and was about to get closer.

"Wait!" Seeing Bai Qianxi's actions, Cheng Shaozhi hurriedly said, "Didn't I tell you not to come over? Why didn't you listen to me?"

"Or are you mesmerized by my beauty and can't get enough of looking at me from such a distance?" Cheng Shaozhi made a small joke.

"If you have the energy, just stop talking nonsense. Even if you want to say something, wait until you get better. Then you can say as much as you want."

Although Cheng Shaozhi tried hard to appear cheerful, Bai Qianxi still heard a sense of helplessness in his words.

Looking at Bai Qianxi's strong attitude, Cheng Shaozhi knew that with his current physical condition, if Bai Qianxi really wanted to do something, he really couldn't stop her.

Seeing that she was still getting closer, Cheng Shaozhi could only helplessly say, "Miss Bai, I don't want to hurt you. I've tried all kinds of medicine, so I'll definitely get better. It's just a matter of time."

"Why don't you wait until I'm better and then come to see me, how about that?"

Seeing his firm attitude of not letting her get close to him, Bai Qianxi felt helpless and could only take out a veil and tie it on her face again in front of him.

"Is this okay? Believe me, I won't joke with my body. Now that I'm here, I'm sure I won't be infected!"

"And there is one thing you may not know. Those who were infected and went to the imperial capital were controlled by the prescriptions I researched. I also got His Majesty's approval to come here this time."

"Can you trust me now?" Although Bai Qianxi could force her way closer, she still didn't want him to have too much psychological pressure.

Having said that, what else can Cheng Shaozhi do? But he knows his own body well and he really doesn't have much time left.

"Hand out."

After taking the pulse and observing carefully, Bai Qianxi already had an idea in her mind.

He poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle and said, "Just swallow this. It's a special effect I made. There's not a lot of it, but it can temporarily suppress your condition."

The main ingredient of the pill is her blood, which is made using a special method so it cannot be detected by eating.

"I will come to see you every day until your condition can be temporarily suppressed for a period of time."

"Believe me, I will never let anything happen to you."

Cheng Shaozhi's condition is more serious than she thought. After suppressing his condition, she must hurry up and develop the antidote!

If she had known this, she should have come earlier!

Cheng Shaozhi swallowed the pill that Bai Qianxi took out without hesitation.

Seeing her serious expression, Cheng Shaozhi knew that she must have seen through it, and a pale smile instantly appeared on his face.

"You don't have to tell me, I believe it too. Not only do I believe you, I also believe myself. Ever since I followed that fellow Bei Ling, I have been through life and death every time I was out there."

"But I have survived so many times, which proves that I am strong. I believe this time will be the same. However, a mere plague cannot do anything to me."

"Well, I'm glad you feel that way. You should rest after taking the medicine. Talking is very energy-consuming after all. We can continue our conversation tomorrow."

After giving some instructions, Bai Qianxi left the room, and Cheng Shaozhi naturally did not try to keep her.

In a situation like his now, it's best for no one to stay with him.

After leaving Cheng Shaozhi, Bai Qianxi came to the shelter, which was divided into several areas.

There were refugees who were not sick, refugees who were sick, and those who were seriously ill. Bai Qianxi first came to the critically ill area.

The people here are in a similar situation to Cheng Shaozhi, but some are in a more serious situation than Cheng Shaozhi and have already fallen into a coma.

The entire shelter area was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. Some people were sobbing quietly around, and even the sadness seemed so oppressive.

Bai Qianxi walked around and was basically sure that the situations of these people were similar, but still much more complicated than those in the imperial city.

The main reason was that the plague was not effectively controlled at the beginning, and coupled with the lack of food and clothing, people's resistance was weak.

After collecting all the information, Bai Qianxi still didn't see Ye Beiling and didn't know where he had gone.

"Xiao Qi, come with me to prepare the herbs we brought, and clean up a yard. I'm going to start preparing the medicine."

Back in the yard, Bai Qianxi gave the order to speak.

The two came to the warehouse together.

"Miss Bai, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to take so many herbs. The herbs that His Highness brought have been almost used up. Now we are waiting for this batch of herbs to save our lives."

When the warehouse manager heard Bai Qianxi's purpose, he took another look at the list in his hand and saw that nearly half of the medicinal herbs brought were included.

And there are quite a few.

"Got it. I will develop the new drug as soon as possible."
