"Noon is the time for the Crown Princess to be pampered. If you miss it next time, I will have to pamper others now!"
Bai Yujing narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Yunxian provocatively. He casually grabbed the two dancers and took them into his arms. However, the smiles on the beauties' faces froze.
Why do they think Mr. Bai is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking?
If you really want to be pampered, how could you be indifferent just now!
Anyone with a discerning eye can finally tell that the singing and dancing this afternoon were not performed for Bai Yujing, they were clearly for Princess Liu!
"I have something important to discuss with Mr. Bai!"
But unexpectedly, Xia Yunxian's expression was extremely solemn, and she had no intention of messing around with him at all.
Bai Yujing's eyes flashed, and he was silent for a moment before waving. The dancers immediately left angrily, not forgetting to look back at Xia Yunxian before leaving.
That look in his eyes seemed to have determined that the two had an ulterior relationship!
Xia Yunxian looked around. The air was filled with the aroma of wine that was very familiar to her. There were gauze petals and pearls and gems everywhere on the ground, which gave her the illusion that she was back in that long nightmare.
She used to sit here, watching Bai Yujing make fun of the beauties, and squander jewelry and rewards wantonly.
At that time, she thought she could be alone, but Bai Yujing used all possible means to force her to dance and perform with the dancers. Every compliment he gave was like a sharp dagger that severely abused her dignity!
"Sit." Bai Yujing lifted up his clothes and leaned on the ground, pointing to the futon beside him. Xia Yunxian tried hard to overcome the resistance in his body, and only stepped forward slightly to hand a prescription into his hand.
"My foolish brother is so reckless that I ask Lord Bai to give him a chance to change his ways. This apology will definitely be useful to Lord Bai!"
Since you came to apologize on behalf of your brother and refused to even approach him, what kind of apology could be more effective than leaning into his arms and acting coquettishly?
Bai Yujing glanced lightly and smiled without interest, "This is not my antidote."
"This is a prescription for the epidemic. At noon, Yun Xian rescued a patient who had fled from Songshan Ridge on the roadside and found that he had been infected with the epidemic. In the early stage, it was just skin ulcers, in the middle stage, he had neck swelling and fever, and in the later stage, There is no way to save the day."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yujing's expression changed, "Xia Yunxian, you are so courageous, do you dare to take in people from the epidemic?!"
Is this why she let her pigeons go?
"I don't know whether you believe it or not, but Dongling always talks about epidemics, but this epidemic is different. It does not infect people through contact, but through food and drink."
"You mean through food and water?"
Bai Yujing frowned, his expression more serious than ever.
He slowly stood up and looked at Xia Yunxian with a complex look, his eyes even more probing.
During this period of time, he had always had a playful heart, watching her every step of the way with great interest.
She asked him to intervene in this matter under the pretext of detoxifying him. Otherwise, how would he have known that all the medicinal materials in Dongling had been swept away by a mysterious force!
He investigated in depth and discovered that even the surplus grain in the capital was missing by more than half!
If there is any natural or man-made disaster, even though the little grain in the storehouse will not cause starvation to death everywhere, it will still break the muscles and bones and make the people of Dongling feel uneasy!
Bai Yujing had a strong intuition that this was what Xia Yunxian wanted to remind him!
She was scheming, but Bai Yujing didn't expose it. After all, she was his prey, and he could just stay behind.
But now there is an epidemic that can shake the foundation of the country, so he has to give her a beating!
"You want me to bet the entire people of Kyoto. Are you being too arrogant?"
If this matter spreads, Xia Yunxian, who has been in contact with the infected, will be burned alive!
If he were more rational, he should kill her now and send everyone who knows about it to hell to avoid future troubles!
"I'm afraid you don't know something. The entire people of Kyoto have been trapped in the situation, and no one can escape!" Xia Yunxian met his sullen gaze forcefully.
"What do you mean?"
Bai Yujing felt uneasy in his heart. Xia Yunxian knew too much. It really made people wonder if General Xia had told her something before he died in the battle.
"A large number of infected people have already come to Kyoto from Songshan Ridge. As long as you send people to check along the way, you will know how many ministers have concealed it and failed to report it!"
Xia Yunxian clearly remembered that when Bai Yujing received the news, the situation was out of control and the court was in chaos. He was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly, so he had no time to take care of her.
During that time, the door of the Hou Mansion was almost broken down by refugees, begging beggars could be seen everywhere on the streets, and the people in the capital stayed at home because of fear.
Houses were broken into, ransacked, and shops were robbed.
It was an extremely gloomy memory, and all parties took the opportunity to secretly compete, and most of Bai Yujing's power was cut off. What Xia Yunxian was concerned about was that Liu Chengyu was actually appreciated at that time!
At this moment, Bai Yujing quickly sorted out the information given by Xia Yunxian. She said that the source of the epidemic was food and drinking water. It happened that there was a shortage of rice and food in Beijing. There might be some ulterior connection!
"What do you want me to do?"
After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Yujing decided to give Xia Yunxian a chance.
Wait, why does it seem like he was caught?
Bai Yujing's heart moved. It seemed good to be manipulated by her.
No one knew that Xia Yunxian was secretly relieved at this time. She was afraid that Bai Yujing wouldn't believe her and she couldn't change anything by herself.
Sure enough, Master Bai, who regards power as his life, has already smelled the smell of meritorious service!
In fact, she didn't want to help Bai Yujing become more powerful, but looking at the court, only he who was full of evil could do it!
Moreover, it can also eliminate the possibility of Liu Chengyu turning around, so why not?
"As soon as the refugees appear, Lord Bai only needs to tell the people that it is a strange disease that is spreading, not an epidemic, and then ask all the affected people to come to me for treatment and medicine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yujing smiled, "Aren't you afraid of burning your eyebrows?"
Does she know how many infected people there are?
She has a big appetite, so she will try her best. If she succeeds, she will be the number one person in the capital and a living bodhisattva worshiped by the people!
But if she fails, she will only be cut into pieces!
"Didn't Master Bai already steal the needed medicinal materials from the medicine dealer?"
Xia Yunxian's eyes sparkled, and Li Guang found out that several major drug dealers who had previously refused to sell medicine to him had recently been robbed by a traitor.
Besides Bai Yujing, who else could be there?
"Oh, you really didn't want to detoxify me!" Bai Yujing shook his head pretending to be disappointed. He was clearly being used!
"Your life is naturally the most important thing."
Xia Yunxian said something perfunctory without concealing it. Bai Yujing was like a child having a tantrum, "The epidemic is an epidemic. You actually want me to open my eyes and tell lies?"
"What adults do on a daily basis is just to care about human lives, so what if they tell lies?" As long as it is not transmitted through contact, it is no different from a strange disease!
"..."
At this moment, Bai Yujing suddenly felt that it was necessary to let Xia Yunxian understand what kind of person he was!
"Sir, Miss Jiang has fainted. Please go over and have a look." The guard came to report again, and Bai Yujing immediately took a deep look at Xia Yunxian.
"Jiang Yurong also has a strange disease that causes her to faint from time to time. If you can cure her, I will help you!"
