Chapter 247 Let Her Leave the Capital

In the northwest corner of the capital, there is a street called Fugui Road.

Fuguidao, as the name suggests, is the place where wealthy people live. Of course, this is not the residence of a wealthy family, but a separate courtyard.

Ximen Xiaoyue also has another courtyard here, after she was divorced, she lived here temporarily.

A sedan chair with a green roof stopped at the door of this other courtyard, and a man in a cloak wrapped his clothes tightly, and entered the courtyard with his head bowed.

There is a lot of gossip and nonsense in front of the abandoned woman's door, so the walls of this other courtyard are very high, and outsiders cannot pry into it.

Ximen Xiaoyue had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him coming in, she hurriedly went up to him and took off the cloak for him, "It's hard for you, you have to wear a cloak to cover your eyes and ears in this hot weather."

The man stretched out his hand and gently scratched her cheek, "It's okay, for you, not to mention the heat, even death from heat."

Ximen Xiaoyue's face was flushed, and she was very shy, "Liar."

"What did I lie to you for?"

"Prime Minister dignified, I won't believe you if you only lie to women here." Ximen Xiaoyue smiled coquettishly, turned around and entered.

It was Prime Minister Xia who came, and they have been meeting privately in this other courtyard since Ximen Xiaoyue retired.

He walked up quickly, hugged Ximen Xiaoyue by the waist, and smiled, "You don't believe me, do you? See how I deal with you today."

"Don't, let me down." Ximen Xiaoyue screamed, but there was a sweet smile on her face.

The door of the wing room was kicked open and quickly closed again. The maid outside the door stood far away, but still heard the voice from the room, which made people blush.

After a long time, everything in the room fell silent.

"When will we stop being so sneaky?" Ximen Xiaoyue hugged the quilt, put her head in Prime Minister Xia's arms, and asked aggrievedly.

Prime Minister Xia reached out and stroked her hair, "Hurry up, hurry up."

He held her face up and asked, "Have you told the Duke?"

"As I said, grandfather will bring it up in the next morning. Don't worry, Xia Zian has confirmed the epidemic area." Ximen Xiaoyue said coldly.

"That's fine. As long as she dies, I can justifiably marry you." Prime Minister Xia said coldly.

"Will you really fulfill your promise?" Ximen Xiaoyue looked at him anxiously, her heart was really empty.

"Of course," Prime Minister Xia tapped her lips, his eyes fascinated, "Marrying you is my dream. I have already told you all about my family scandal. Once Xia Zian dies, I will have no more children. Let me help you get started and give birth to a few big fat boys for me, and I will inherit the family business of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future."

Ximen Xiaoyue said shyly, "Shameless."

"No baby?" Prime Minister Xia smirked, "Then I'm going to find another woman to have a baby?"

"Do you dare?" Ximen Xiaoyue sat up suddenly, "If you dare to have sex with another woman, I will kill her."

Prime Minister Xia held her hands and stared at her, "Little fool, you are enough."

After hearing this, Ximen Xiaoyue said emotionally: "If you treat me well, I will do anything for you."

Prime Minister Xia said: "Silly girl, why are you still willing to let you pay for me? This time I have to let you talk to the Duke of the country. After this matter subsides, the only thing you have to do is to dress yourself up. Beautiful, wait until I marry you, and this time it is no longer a flat wife or a concubine, but a legitimate wife of my Xiangfu."

Ximen Xiaoyue leaned on his chest and didn't speak any more.

She is not a fool and knows that this man is using her, but she doesn't care, as long as he fulfills his promise and marries her.

She also believes that behind this use, there is also some truth.

Zian went to the palace, but couldn't think of anything about acupuncture, so he started with Ni Rong.

Ni Rong talked about the situation that day, and then said: "Although everyone thinks it wasn't a zombie patient biting me, I always think it was, because I will never forget that smell in my life."

Zian asked, "Can I see your wound?"

Ni Rong said: "Of course it is possible, but now the scars have faded a lot."

The scar has indeed faded a lot. It can be said that it faded faster than ordinary scars. A black spot remained on the tooth mark, just like an ink spot. Zian picked it up with a needle, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, I don't feel anything."

Zi'an asked, "Recall what happened to the person who bit you."

"I can't see his appearance clearly, but I can see that his eyes are very red and the smell on his face is very similar to a zombie patient."

"I remember when you came back and said that you were dizzy. Besides dizziness, what other symptoms did you have?"

"Heartbeat is fast, flustered, and thirsty, I really want to drink water."

"You showed signs of poisoning at the time, and I then flushed your stomach with a large amount of light salt water." Zian thought for a while. He was bitten at the time, and it was impossible for him to develop symptoms immediately. Therefore, the dizziness and palpitation were due to poisoning. Poisonous herbs were taken.

The incubation period of this disease should not be long, and now Ni Rong shows no signs of attack at all, which proves that he was not bitten by a zombie patient.

However, the person he described looked like a zombie patient.

Zi'an suddenly lost even the slightest clue, and simply didn't know where to start.

"Where's the prince?" Zi'an asked.

Ni Rong said: "My lord has been in the palace discussion room, after this incident, he hasn't calmed down."

"Aren't you with him?" Zi'an saw that Ni Rong probably followed Murong Jie, but he wasn't with him today.

Ni Rong said: "No, my lord ordered me to go outside the city to watch Wang Yu, while General Su came back to Beijing."

"So that's the case. Well, I'm leaving too. Think about it carefully. If there are any details you haven't told me, if you think of them, tell me right away."

"Okay." Ni Rong sent Zi'an out.

As soon as he got into the carriage and went out to the entrance of the alley, he saw Murong Jie riding back on his horse.

He was obviously preoccupied, but he didn't find Zian's carriage. Zian wanted to call him, but seeing his haggard face and red eyes, he seemed extremely upset, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he asked him to go back and rest for a while.

Xiao Tuo followed closely behind, but he saw Zian's carriage, he rode forward and said to Murong Jie: "Doctor Xia."

Murong Jie glanced back, "Yeah!"

"Aren't you asking her to come back?" Xiao Tuo asked.

"No, Xiao Tuo, you go and tell her to let her find an excuse to leave the capital these days." Murong Jie said.

"Why? Now is the time for us to employ people." Xiao Tuo asked incomprehensibly, "Besides, she knows medical skills better than imperial doctors."

"Can you think of it, other people can't think of it? She knows medical skills, but you also see that she has nothing to do with this zombie disease." Murong Jie said with a sullen face.

Obviously, he didn't like the fact that Xia Zian knew medical skills very much. Today, he already smelled some conspiracy, and this conspiracy might involve her.
