Chapter 177: Chapter 91 Trip to Yuzhou (12) Xiao Jinxing Falls Ill_2
He found the servant who had hidden Prince Chen and Princess Chen, and the servant also said he only took them to the kitchen to hide, but now there’s no one inside.
Luckily, there’s no one there.
The soldiers just raided thoroughly, not leaving a single spot unchecked.
If they were there, they would have definitely been discovered.
Pang Nan was surprised.
Where could these perfectly fine people have gone?!
And these perfectly fine people had already sneaked into the deserted courtyard of the wealthy family they stayed with when they entered Yuzhou City.
Little Wu made sure no one followed, then he returned to the Prince and Princess’s side.
It was also the Prince who made a decisive decision, when the servant of Pang Mansion took them to hide, the Prince was sure that Chen Hezhi was targeting him, and if he stayed at Pang Mansion, he would be caught by Chen Hezhi, so leaving was the only option.
But obviously, both the front and back doors of Pang Mansion were blocked by Chen Hezhi’s men, making it impossible to leave.
Then the Princess said, they could crawl through a dog hole.
The Prince’s face turned dark at that moment.
But unexpectedly, he did not object.
The three of them crawled out from the dog hole in the kitchen courtyard, which happened to lead to a secluded area, and Chen Hezhi’s men were not stationed there, so they stealthily left.
After leaving, they came straight here.
They probably don’t plan to return tonight.
"Little Wu." Xiao Jinxing settled down and suddenly called him.
Little Wu hurriedly stepped forward, "Prince, do you need me to go back and send a message to Master Pang?"
"Come over and touch my forehead first, is it very hot?" Xiao Jinxing suddenly said.
Upon hearing this.
Ye Qichi, who was resting nearby, became alert immediately.
Before Little Wu could approach Xiao Jinxin, Ye Qichi had already leaned over.
Her somewhat cold hands touched Xiao Jinxing’s forehead.
The temperature on the forehead was clearly abnormal.
But she feared it might be because her hands were too cold, so she hurriedly leaned over with her own forehead.
Xiao Jinxing thus saw Ye Qichi’s face up close suddenly.
He seemed to even smell the scent of her body after a bath.
In the afternoon when he went to call Ye Qichi, she was lying asleep in the wooden bathtub.
Her fair body, her long black hair, and that smell on her body...
He hesitated by the tub for a while, but still lifted her out of the water, thinking that Ye Qichi had done quite a bit for him these days, a little help from him was just proper reciprocity.
He convinced himself he did not linger his gaze.
Yet it seemed everything was clear.
Even when dressing her, his mind was still muddled.
He even took quite a while alone to calm down before opening the door to leave.
He didn’t want to recall this afternoon’s scene again, yet Ye Qichi suddenly got so close, so very close...
The moment Xiao Jinxing’s mind became confused.
Ye Qichi left.
Her sudden departure somehow left him feeling an indescribable irritation.
Right now, Ye Qichi had all her attention on Xiao Jinxing’s fever, totally oblivious to any other emotions he might have, and quickly grabbed Xiao Jinxing’s wrist again, feeling his pulse.
Little Wu was also startled by this.
Looking at the Princess’s expression, it seemed like something serious was amiss!
He dared not speak, just nervously waited by the side.
After taking the pulse, Ye Qichi suddenly leaned closer to Xiao Jinxing.
Her whole body moved closer, her cheeks almost touching Xiao Jinxing’s neck.
Xiao Jinxing’s Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed up and down.
The next moment, he felt Ye Qichi tugging open his collar.
Little Wu’s eyes nearly popped out.
Wasn’t the Princess supposed to be checking for illness?!
What is she doing?!
Should he step aside?! //
Should he just disappear?!
"Xiao Jinxing, you’ve caught the plague," Ye Qichi’s calm but somehow unsteady voice suddenly said in the silence.
This statement snapped Little Wu out of his wild thoughts.
It also made Xiao Jinxing snap to full alertness.
He stared intently at Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi explained, "You’ve started getting rashes on your neck, this is smallpox, the manifestation of the plague spoken about at your doorstep. Moreover, from your pulse and your fever symptoms, it’s almost certain!"
"Isn’t the plague supposed to be contagious? The Prince hasn’t been in contact with any plague patient, how could he be infected?!" Little Wu voiced out Xiao Jinxing’s doubts.
Ye Qichi sighed, "Indeed, there should be no room for hope."
"What do you mean?"
"I have always suspected that the person I correspond with could have caught the plague. Before me, he didn’t take any precautions against the virus, making it highly likely for him to get infected, but I didn’t pay attention because there were no symptoms, and the primary transmission route for the plague is through saliva," explained Ye Qichi, still somewhat annoyed.freewebnσvel.cѳm
