Chapter 188 - Feeding

Hearing the rustling of footsteps, Xiao Qingqian curled the corner of his lips as a dim light quickly flashed past his eyes.

Wei Qing returned to her room and continued researching the medicinal prescription. Xiao Qingqian followed behind her and glanced at her from the window before returning to his room as well.

The guard had followed his orders and was about to pick up his things. The guard tried to persuade him, but he was cut off by a knife and could only remain silent.

That night, Xiao Qingqian was wearing the clothes of a Plague patient, drinking water and eating food from his Plague patient. Although his body had always been strong, the Plague arrived menacingly, and in the end, he did not manage to escape from it.

Hearing that Xiao Qingqian had gotten very hot, Wei Qing's face suddenly changed several times.

In the past few days, the spread of the plague had slowed down by quite a bit. Furthermore, Xiao Qingqian had always been extremely healthy, so how could he possibly be infected by the plague?

She judged the dark guard, who lowered his head, not daring to meet her bright eyes.

”What the hell is going on?” she asked angrily.

Right now she was really busy, if Xiao Qingqian pretended not to be sick, she would really settle things with him!

The guard wanted to say something but hesitated.

”Bang!”

Wei Qing slammed the table hard, her face was red with anger.

”It's the prince who wants to help the imperial concubine test her medicine, so …”

Hearing the secret guard's words, Wei Qing's eyes became round.

The existing medicines were enough to reduce the speed at which the plague spread. However, the new medicinal prescription was not something that could be tested so easily.

If someone died while trying out the new medicinal prescription, it would definitely lead to an even worse speculation and uncontrollable chaos.

After all, she was from the North, and this time it was from the South.

”Come with me!” She quickly took the medicine box and went into Xiao Qingqian's room.

Xiao Qingqian's room wasn't far from hers, and it hadn't even been half an hour before she arrived. She put on her cloth cloth and let the hidden guards stay outside as she checked Xiao Qingqian's pulse.

At this time, Xiao Qingqian's consciousness was still clear as he looked at Wei Qing, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Wei Qing stared at him angrily, ”Why didn't you discuss this with me before you made such a decision?”

”Why not?”

Xiao Qingqian did not reply, and only looked deeply at her.

At this moment, his gaze was just too gentle. Wei Qing's heartstrings moved slightly, but she quickly recovered her calm.

”I'll use the old recipe to help you control the fever first!” Wei Qing said softly.

His hand was suddenly grabbed. It was not very strong, but perhaps it was because he was having a high fever and his palm was abnormally hot.

The blazing temperature flowed down along his wrist and into his heart, causing Wei Qing's heart to beat faster and faster.

”Let's use the new recipe!” His voice was extremely hoarse, but his words were spoken without any room for discussion.

Wei Qing's eyes slightly trembled, ”Xiao Qingqian, you should know that the new medicinal prescription has not been tested, and I am not sure if it will cause any other symptoms either!”

Sometimes, she felt that Xiao Qingqian was just a madman. It would be fine if he just handed the task to the dark guards, if he lost his life in this plague, wouldn't that be letting Xiao Hanqi off easy?

Xiao Qingqian stared at her, and suddenly chuckled.

At that moment, the laughter came as Wei Qing was waiting for him in surprise.
