Shi Qingxue realized that her words were ambiguous, so she hurriedly added, “I don’t dislike you, but Junyang suffers from a disease that will infect others. It’s fine if only one person takes care of him, and it’s unnecessary to increase the risk for others.”
Although Shi Qingxue behaved indifferently, she was afraid.
She had to drive away Dong Shuang earlier and tried to prevent the others from getting close to this room.
However, Dong Shuang was unwilling and craned her neck. “I should take care of him. How can I make you tired, My Lady?”
Shi Qingxue glanced at Dong Shuang and knew that she couldn’t persuade her with ordinary reasons as this maid was inflexible.
So she opened her lips and rebuked emotionlessly, “Do you qualify to take care of my fiance?”
Although her voice was calm, her words were jealous, stunning Dong Shuang.
Before Dong Shuang realized the truth, she subconsciousl
Mo Junyang leaned over and slowly raised his other hand, rubbing Shi Qingxue’s cheek. He stated in a gentler voice, “Don’t worry. I won’t die. I...don’t want to die.”Shi Qingxue suddenly raised her face full of tears and met Mo Junyang’s eyes with a warm smile.Then she felt that he slowly caressed her head with his warm hand again and rubbed it gently as usual. “Don’t be afraid. I am fine...”However, the words “I am fine” were not persuasive.After saying that, Mo Junyang seemed to have consumed all his energy. He closed his eyes gently and his arm hung on the quilt.At the moment, Shi Qingxue felt heartbroken. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat and stopped her uncontrollable voice.She opened her mouth wide yet didn’t forget her manners to shout.She looked at Mo Junyang in a daze for quite a while and seemed to react at last. She instantly reached out her index finger to Mo
In the next five days, Mo Junyang took medicine following the old doctor’s prescription.On the surface, his condition seemed to be steady and it didn’t worsen.Even Shi Qingxue who stayed with him for almost twenty-four hours every day wasn’t infected, which was a miracle.Shi Qingxue and the others didn’t experience the disaster of the epidemic which was like massacring all residents of a city. They couldn’t feel the horrible epidemic, so they didn’t take it seriously.The old doctor who was forced to treat Mo Junyang every day said several times that it was a miracle and that it was impossible after he saw Shi Qingxue.However, Shi Qingxue wasn’t infected, which relaxed many people feeling restless, and it was a great blessing in misfortune.Shi Qingxue stayed with Mo Junyang but asked in depression, “How are you feeling now?”She asked this question several times every day. Even tho
Hearing the word “girl”, Shi Qingxue was gloomy, as if her energy were absorbed, and she looked depressed.However, she still roused herself and asked to show respect, “Who is it?”Wei Ziye looked more hesitant, as if wondering if he should disturb Shi Qingxue with something so boring, but in the end, he continued, “She is masked and her face can’t be seen clearly. She just said that she must see you.”Who must see Shi Qingxue at this critical moment?It was not Shen Luo but a girl.Shi Qingxue didn’t have energy to cope with a girl, who knew how to play mysterious.Nevertheless, before she said something to refuse, an idea came into her mind. Was it possible that the girl could save Mo Junyang?As soon as she had this idea, Shi Qingxue felt that she was crazy as she wanted to save Mo Junyang, so she had such an unrealistic idea, yet she couldn’t stop it anyway.So even tho
“Something fishy?”Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up in an instant, and she stared at Shen Xiao, expecting her to explain.In fact, after Qingxue heard Wei Ziye’s words, she thought that it was strange, but she couldn’t figure it out these days, while Shen Xiao, an outsider seemed to have found something wrong.Shen Xiao shook her head and pouted, saying in a low voice, “It’s strange, yet we must focus on different points, so let’s talk about it after His Excellency wakes up.”Shi Qingxue had to agree.At this time, it happened that Mo Junyang opened his eyes.Shi Qingxue subconsciously glanced at the sandy clock on the table. Two hours had passed exactly since Shen Xiao entered the room.It was too magical.Qingxue looked at Shen Xiao with wonderment. She was shocked and meanwhile had somebody to rely on.She got confident again. Mo Junyang would be fine.
Shen Xiao lived up to her self-praise. After confirming that Mo Junyang was infected with ptomaine, she made a prescription for the disease soon and personally decocted the medicinal herbs for Mo Junyang.Of course, she didn’t feed him medicine.Shen Xiao was worthy of the miracle-working doctor’s sister, and her medical skills were spiritualized.In the beginning, nobody thought highly of this little girl less than fifteen years old except Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang.When she treated the patient, Yan Xu once came to greet Mo Junyang in an affected manner and cared about his condition on the surface. He didn’t care if he would be “infected” but greeted Mo Junyang to his face, looking like a “loyal official”.If Shi Qingxue didn’t know what had happened to Mo Junyang, she might hesitate and wonder whether she had misunderstood Yan Xu earlier, yet now she just wanted to carve one big word on his forehead, “Shamele
Yin Liangzhi ran into the room anxiously and said to the big and tall man who was sitting inside, “Lord Wu, bad news.”Wu Xiong put down the teacup slowly and glanced at Yin Liangzhi, asking coldly, “Say it slowly. Why are you so anxious?”Yin Liangzhi stood still and gasped several times before he managed to breathe regularly. He answered in a more stable voice, “Yan Xu went to see His Excellency and said that he would ask them to have dinner to celebrate his recovery.”These days, the news that Mo Junyang recovered gradually spread. Although anybody who heard this news didn’t believe it, nobody dared to relax.Especially Yan Xu who was relieved a little suddenly got nervous and restless.When Wu Xiong heard Mo Junyang’s name, his sharp eyes lit up, but soon he relaxed and asked in a scornful tone, “Didn’t he often go to see Mo Junyang these days? Is it surprising?”“Lord Wu, only you and I are her
After Yan Xu went away, the room fell into weird silence suddenly.Dong Shuang saw that the two masters remained still as they did when Yan Xu left, so she swallowed in fear and stated cautiously, “I am off now.”Afterward, she walked out of the room gingerly and considerately closed the door for them.They were in a stalemate for a while. In the end, Shi Qingxue sighed first and received the medicine bowl from Mo Junyang. “Take medicine first. Xiao has said that the effect of the medicine will be not so good after it goes cold.”So Shi Qingxue usually thought that taking medicine was like a state affair. Even though they had a conflict, she still kept thinking about it.After she fed him medicine as usual, they kept silent again.Shi Qingxue fiddled with the medicine bowl in her hand occasionally and asked in a distant tone, “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”Mo Junyang paused for a
Shi Qingxue couldn’t figure it out.Mo Junyang paused for a moment and then said something to awaken the girl in the dream. “When they can make a choice, most people naturally won’t be willing to cannibalize, but it’s uncertain when they don’t know.”“Do you mean...” Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up suddenly, like the stars in the sky at night.They were bright and fascinating.She looked at Mo Junyang excitedly. “Somebody secretly made the common people in Jiangzhou eat the food with ptomaine?”Before Mo Junyang answered, she had clearly felt that she guessed the truth.However, she soon had new doubts.For example, how did so many victims eat the food with ptomaine when they didn’t know it?What was the purpose of the people behind the scenes who did that?Or why did they make the “epidemic” in Jiangzhou disappear?The questions perplexed Shi Qingxue, s
