The Fourth Lady
Chapter 280 I Can't Die

Qingyan and Murong Jingxuan didn't know how they had listened to the conversation. According to that man, the real manipulator behind the scenes should be Second Prince or anyone who assisted him. They hadn't mentioned a name, so no one knew exactly who was

behind it.

They only knew that the ultimate beneficiary of this case was Xuanyuan Yvfan.

On her way back home, Qingyan had been thinking about the rabbit pestilence, but she found that she could do nothing about it. Maybe she could find other ways to prevent it from spreading.

When they returned to the village, the clamor in the day had disappeared, replaced by a serene scene. But no one would have thought that many patients living here were waiting for the death.

Murong Jingxuan wanted to send Qingyan back to the yard, but Qingyan refused. Qingyan said frankly, "maybe only in this way can I feel at ease.".

The problem of the rabbit pestilence hasn't been solved well. Only the minor patients in the village have been cured, but those people still don't believe what Qingyan said. They can only live with the infected people. This situation lasted for a whole month till the new year's Eve.

They couldn't catch up with the dinner in the new year's Eve and could spend New Year's Eve in a village. Emperor Hongjia initially declared that they could came back, but Xuanyuan Yvzhen didn't want to leave. He thought it was not bad to live among those ordinary people.

"You've done a lot for the people of the Mao City, and we are all clear with your contributions." An elder man looked at them and said kindly, "if it weren't for you guys, I would have been dead."

Even though some people had been cured, they still could not find a way to control the rabbit pestilence. There were people constantly sent in, dying, being victims, but none of these could stop them from staying.

"Your Highness, the letter is 800 miles from the Captial City." Wu Keshan looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yvzhen's face and handed the document to Xuanyuan Yvzhen.

Xuanyuan Yvzhen's expression suddenly changed when he looked at the document in his hand. When Qingyan picked up the document her face also suddenly changed. "Yanyan, fourth prince, what's wrong with you?" Murong Jingxuan looked at them and said with a smile. But when he took over the stuff that Qingyan kicked, he couldn't smile. Because the letter said:

In order to prevent the pestilence from spreading, all the infecred people will be killed on the spot if there was no antidote.

While speaking, Murong Jingxuan burnt the letter to ashes with his power. "We've worked hard here for the people's welfare, and he said those words!"

"Jingxuan, you know my father well. He wouldn't have done such things if we hadn't delayed for too long." Looking at Murong Jingxuan, Qingyan said resignedly.

Emperor Hongjia had his own reasons. First, Xuanyuan Yvzhen was the only son of him and Qilian Yvran. And second, Qilian Yvran had also asked Xuanyuan Yvzhen to let Xuanyuan Yvzhen come back. Xuanyuan Yvzhen gently rubbed his eyebrows as he saw this scene. "I really hope that after a month, we can solve this problem."

Now, Qingyan didn't know how to comfort Xuanyuan Yvzhen. Xuanyuan Yvzhen had been unable to sleep for a long time and had been doing things for the people. She didn't know when Xuanyuan Yvzhen might collapse.

"Take it easy, fourth brother. We're already familiar with the rabbit pestilence here, and we'll leave here soon." Qingyan looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen as she held his hand, but she could feel the sweat in his palm. When she was about to call fourth brother, Xuanyuan Yvzhen's body fell backwards. Murong Jingxuan and Qingyan were taken aback at once. But the next second, Murong Jingxuan asked them to step aside. He directly lifted Xuanyuan Yvzhen and brought

to him to another room.

"Tieyi, don't you think you should explain it! When did your master become like this?" Qingyan said to Tieyiwith a dark face.

Tieyi lowered her head. "Junzhu, Master didn't allow me to tell you. He coughed blood. He also said if I told you, I was going to be sacked."

Hearing that, Qingyan's face turned red with anger. "You are the same as your master!" With that, Qingyan walked towards Xuanyuan Yvzhen's room.

"How is he, Chonglou?" Seeing Xuanyuan Yvzhen lying on the bed, Qingyan turned her eyes to Chonglou.

"He is in a bad condition. He has developed lung infection. If I guess correctly, he has coughed blood." Chonglou looked at Qingyan and said seriously, "Unless we can find a antidote now, the Fourth Prince is sure to die in seven days." Hearing what Chonglou said, Qingyan looked at Tieyi. "You shouldn't have kept us in the dark. You're to blame if anything happens to him," Qingyan said.

Hearing what Qingyan said, Tieyi lowered his head, but said nothing as if he had made a mistake.

"Tieyi, when did your master have these symptoms?" Chonglou asked seriously.

"To be honest, I found that master coughed blood five days ago, but I don't know when he was infected."

"It seems that fourth brother has been infected for nearly ten days, and we have missed the best time to cure him. No matter what, the most important thing now is to find the antidote." Qingyan walked to the bedside and looked at Xuanyuan Yvzhen. "I've already made an initial prescription for the rabbit pestilence. I'll pick up the medicines tomorrow to see if it has any effect. If it works, I can boil them in bulk."

Hearing what Chonglou said, Qingyan nodded to him earnestly. Murong Jingxuan patted on Chonglou's shoulder and said, "thank you for your help, Chonglou."

As Chonglou said, he turned around and continued to be busy with the antidote. Now, Qingyan had to take care of Xuanyuan Yvzhen, but she was worried about the people there. Therefore, she had to ask Tieyi to take care of him.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
