Let Me Pursue You

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room. Cao secretly thought that Zhao Shu had invited a doctor, and hurried to open the door.

When the old man with the white beard and green cloth came close, Yuan Cixian came back to his senses, and quickly moved aside to make room for him.

"Please sir, take a look at my husband." Cao An said nervously.

The old man was getting old, and his movements were a little slow. He slowly lifted the curtain, but at a glance, he staggered back and said in horror: "It's the plague, the plague!"

Yuan Cixian was stunned and laughed angrily: "Sir, you don't even have a pulse number!"

The old man waved his hands desperately, not daring to approach: "If this vein is called, the old man will die! This disease is undoubtedly an epidemic, and it is not the old man who refuses to save him. It is because the old man has an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old boy. Please do it." Do it well, hold your hand high, and please be wise!"

Lu Shiqing struggled to prop up his upper body, showing some helplessness, and looked at Cao An: "Cao An..."

But in the middle of the conversation, Yuan Cixian interrupted sharply: "Shut up and go to rest!"

"..." Is this how she treats patients?

After Yuan Cixian scolded Lu Shiqing, he rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the old man's skirt, and said viciously: "You can cure your illness with empty words, why are you afraid of this plague?"

The old man was trembling, shrinking his head and saying: "Little lady, it's reasonable to look at your face..."

"Who said I'm reasonable? Have you ever seen a reasonable person who looks so beautiful?" She interrupted him, and threw him to Lu Shiqing's bed, "Don't talk nonsense, even the plague has to be cured!"

Seeing the old man's head collapsed on the bed, Cao An was so frightened that he "hissed" and hurried forward to help him up.

Lu Shiqing was in pain looking at it, couldn't bear to look at it, looked at Yuan Cixian and said: "You let him go, I didn't..."

"Shut up and go to rest!"

"..."

Poor Lu Shiqing was blocked again.

The old man secretly sighed in his heart and forgot to look at the almanac when he went out, but unexpectedly met such a female bully, and tremblingly gave Lu Shiqing his pulse, and wrote a prescription with trembling hands that he didn't know if it would be useful or not.

The female bully said that the consultation fee would be tripled, and all board and lodging would be included, but if he couldn't heal someone well, he wouldn't even think about going out straight.

Seeing this, Lu Shiqing on the sickbed wanted to explain something several times, but was killed by Yuan Cixian's eyes as soon as he opened his mouth. After several times, he simply shut up completely.

Of course, apart from not allowing him to pull up the tent, and not allowing him to move or talk, she was already very close to the word "good wife and loving mother". He served tea and water.

Cao An glanced at Mr. Lang who was burning with happiness, and silently withdrew.

Lu Shiqing's strength was weak, he was very sleepy at first, seeing that he couldn't drive her away, he had to close his eyes and sleep, but every time Yuan Cixian touched his forehead with a cold hand, it made him feel as if he had been slapped with blood. After a few times, he was exhausted physically and mentally. When she leaned over again, he closed his eyes and grabbed her wrist, saying: "Don't worry about it, can you let me sleep for a while?"

"Just sleep!" She said inexplicably, she stroked his hand, took the temperature of his palm by the way, and then touched his forehead.

The touch was iron and delicate, Lu Shiqing sighed: "How can I sleep with you like this."

"I see that when my father was sick, my mother used to take care of him like this..."

Her ending sound was very aggrieved, Lu Shiqing hesitated slightly, opened his eyes to look at her, only then saw her purse her mouth, her eyes were slightly red looking at him, as if she was really worried about him, and she still had a little The guilt he couldn't understand was inside.

Just now when he closed his eyes and heard her strong tone, he also said that she didn't care much, or didn't believe what the doctor said at all.

His eyes flickered, and he seemed to be a little stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses, frowned and said: "Why are you looking at me like this? Don't listen to Cao An's nonsense, I have never been in contact with the epidemic. Talking outside, it’s just too much cold wind. You go back and rest.”

Yuan Cixian lowered her eyes and sighed: "Sure enough, people are dying, and their words are kind. But you don't need to comfort me, I hurt you, I'm sorry, although you haven't been able to make you willingly marry me home yet, But if you die because of me, I will definitely be a widow. It's just that your Lu family may have no successors..."

"In this way, I will find a suitable marriage for Shuangyu in the future, and I will definitely name her first son Lu. As for your mother, I will also take care of it like a mother. By the way, do you have any important relatives in your hometown in Luoyang?" Is it? I brought them to Chang'an, and provided them with delicious food and drink."

"..."

Looking at Yuan Cixian who said "I have considered everything for you, do you have any unfulfilled wishes", Lu Shiqing blinked slowly and dullly three times.

What is she talking about, he's dying?

Before Lu Shiqing had time to ask questions, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Cao An who brought the boiled soup.

Yuan Cixian got up and took the porcelain bowl, told him to back down, then brought the medicine to the bed and said: "Get up, I will feed you the medicine, no matter what happens, you will be a dead horse and a living horse doctor."

"Dead horse" Lu Shiqing sat up with his elbows propped up, his brain, which was a little dull from the burn, turned quickly.

When he was in Shuzhou, he did travel among the villagers several times to control the epidemic, but in his impression he had no contact with the epidemic. The wind and cold this time should only be caused by fatigue and wind.

He was dizzy when he heard Cao An's nonsense at first, and he didn't react for a while, so he didn't ask questions in time. Seeing the doctor's attitude later, it was natural that Cao An had bribed him. When Yuan Cixian was in a hurry, he also wanted to explain, but was interrupted by her again and again.

And then, after receiving her meticulous care, he felt itchy for a moment, thinking to talk about it later, until he opened his eyes and saw her red eye circles, he couldn't bear it, and clarified the truth.

But she didn't believe it, and she even figured out what happened after his death, as if he really didn't live long.

This made Lu Shiqing feel subverted. Could it be that his brain was burnt out and his thinking was wrong. Cao An never deceived Yuan Cixian in order to enhance the relationship between the two of them. He really came into contact with the epidemic without knowing it, and he is already terminally ill now?

He took a few sips of the medicine from the spoon Yuan Cixian handed over, recalled what she had just said, and said in shock, "Yuan Cixian, did I really contract the plague? You said it was you who caused it." ...you poisoned me?"

Could it be that he misunderstood, Shaohe told him to guard against political enemies, but Yuan Cixian?

She was stunned: "What are you talking about? You are poisoned to death, who will be my backer."

Lu Shiqing hesitated for a moment, but now he reacted quickly, grasping the point and said: "Are you looking for me as a backer?"

She knew she had made a slip of the tongue, but thought that it was still a question of whether Lu Shiqing would be able to return to Chang'an alive. Because she felt guilty, she didn't deny it. She gave a low "um" and explained the cause and effect: "I had a dream one day. , I dreamed that I died a miserable death. In the dream, the Bodhisattva told me that there was a particularly good-looking gentleman in Chang’an City, if I could find him as a backer, this dream would not become a **** reality.”

"..."

The corners of Lu Shiqing's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that her ability to lie was getting better and better, but seeing her serious expression, she couldn't help doubting that what she said was true.

After all, this story that sounds absurd can indeed explain her various behaviors in the past six months.

But isn't he going to die?

He pulled the corner of his mouth: "Then what if I die, Chang'an City still has a gentleman next to it, are you going to change another backer?"

Yuan Cixian said in her heart that she has nothing to rely on, and history has changed for her. She sighed: "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to be a widow? Don't look for her anymore, just let fate."

Lu Shiqing thought it was funny that she gave up on herself, so she thought for a while and said, "Call me Cao An, and wait at the door."

"Why, do you want to confess your last words?"

"..."

How can there be such a person who desperately curses and dies?

He said helplessly: "Yes, confess your last words, people are dying, I think you will respect my wishes, and don't do things like listening to the corner."

Yuan Cixian left with a look of reluctance, and An Anfen waited at the door for a long while before seeing Cao An came out disheveled, as if he had been scolded.

She didn't have time to ask any more questions, so she hurriedly got into Lu Shiqing's room, stayed in front of his bed, and asked earnestly, "Do you need me to call someone else?"

Lu Shiqing choked.

He had already asked Cao An, he was the one who caused the trouble, and the doctor was bribed. But right now, with Yuan Cixian looking at him so earnestly, he couldn't even say that she was cheated.

He opened his mouth, hesitated several times, and finally frowned: "...no more, you can go back to your room and sleep."

Yuan Cixian refused to leave no matter what. Lu Shiqing was already tired and hoarse, and because of a guilty conscience, his words had no deterrent effect, so he couldn't drive her away. In addition, after drinking the decoction for wind and cold, his eyelids couldn't hold it anymore, and she dragged and pushed her down In the future, if you touch the pillow, you will not save yourself.

It was the end of the third watch when he woke up again, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Yuan Cixian was sleeping on the edge of the bed with his pillow under his quilt, and his fingertips were still in his palm.

The charcoal fire in the wing room had been completely burnt out, and the candle was about to be burned out. Through the dim halo, he saw her frowning slightly, and her long curled eyelashes cast a thick shadow under her eyes. The nose was slightly red, as if it had been frozen.

Lu Shiqing rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. How did he fall asleep.

He lightly lifted the quilt, bent down after sitting on the bed, lifted her arm with one hand, and put one hand through her calf with the other, he stopped suddenly after his posture was ready, staring at her pair that was close at hand Full lips, rolling Adam's apple.

He suddenly remembered the nonsense dream in her mouth. In fact, compared to what he once thought, she approached him to spy on the secrets of political leaders, and the remarks about the backer made people feel more comfortable.

True, she approached him to take advantage of him, but he had something for her to use, and it didn't seem too bad.

So what if I use it for her? He will be her backer, and then ask for what he deserves in return.

He lowered his head slowly, and when he was about to touch her lips, he stopped again.

Forget it, next time, wait until his "plague" is cured.

Lu Shiqing slowly and solemnly picked her up and sent her back to the next door.

The next day, Yuan Cixian woke up in the bright light. When she realized where she was, she hurriedly turned over and went to the bed. She ran out and was about to knock on Lu Shiqing's door, but was stopped by Zhao Shu in the corridor.

He looked hesitant, as if he had something to say to her.

Yuan Cixian swallowed nervously, supported the door frame and said, "Speak directly if you have something to say, I can bear it."

Zhao Shu plucked up his courage and said directly: "Master, you are so good-looking, I really can't bear to see Lang Jun and Cao An continue to deceive you and play you around."

She froze for a moment, frowning puzzled.

He continued: "Your Majesty is just suffering from a cold, and the fever subsided this morning. Plague or not, it's all fake. I saw with my own eyes yesterday that Cao An bribed the doctor with gold, just as you were lying on your bed When I was in a daze before."

Yuan Cixian's expression froze: "Can you say it again?"

Zhao Shu wrinkled his face and said: "The villain can't say any more, and I'm going to punish the Lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door in front of Yuan Cixian was suddenly moved away. The person who moved the door was well-dressed and full of energy, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

Lu Shiqing stood there, seeming to breathe a sigh of relief. When Zhao Shu called Yuan Cixian to stop, he actually heard it, but he didn't come out to stop him. After all, paper can't cover the fire, so it's better to let him die happily.

Yuan Cixian was indeed furious, her eyelashes quivered a few times, and asked, "Lu Shiqing, did you really lie to me?"

Lu Shiqing nodded. Although there were many mistakes last night, and this deception was not his intention, but he did not explain to her immediately after he found out the truth, he should admit it.

Yuan Cixian became speechless for a moment, laughed in disbelief, stared at him for a long time, then turned to go downstairs and said, "Cui Cui, pack your luggage, and go home."

At about noon, Yuan Cixian returned to Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Yu got the news earlier that she was back today, and when the servant reported that the little lady had arrived, she went out to meet her with great interest, but when she stepped out of the house, she and Shi Cui, and a team followed carefully, not daring to approach Jin Wuwei, who was in charge, couldn't help asking strangely: "Where's Lu Zishu? How dare he not send you back to the mansion?"

Yuan Cixian originally missed her elder brother, but now she was blinded by "hatred" and snorted coldly: "Dead."

Yuan Yu was shocked and grabbed her arm: "What did you say? Lu Zishu died? How did he die?"

Yuan Cixian glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said, "I stabbed the villain to death!"
