A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 888 The Heroes Meet on the Bed
At that time, in Nanyang City.

The night was as dark as ink. The Qiang soldiers held torches, illuminating the Dangxiang Khan standing in front of the anti-epidemic palace and the huge crowd at the steps below.

The young Khan stood on the high steps of the anti-epidemic palace, looking down at the elite soldiers and generals he had selected from the eight tribes, and the refugees from Nanyang who had gathered here with their families.

The abandoned Zhou refugees all looked miserable, with faces covered in black soot from smoke.

The young Khan on the steps was wearing rhinoceros skin and silver armor, standing under the pale, nearly full moon. His icy phoenix eyes were sharp, like a blade out of its sheath, and he said in a deep voice:
"In ancient times, Liu Bei led his people across the river, but the Emperor of the Yuwen family abandoned you and went away! I, Tuoba Ningcong, will never kill innocent people. Those of you who are willing to follow the Zhou Emperor can go north, and those who are willing to stay and be obedient, we, the Dangxiang, will not harm you at all."

……

Yuan Wuyou didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he woke up again, he found himself dizzy, coughing and retching. He even had difficulty seeing people. Only then did he realize that he was seriously ill.

She didn't care about the plague at first. After all, she knew medicine and came to the Central Plains to fight the epidemic. She didn't take the "Desert Light" plague sent from the Western Regions seriously.

Until Yuan Wuyou found that he could never stand up again after falling down in Xi'e City. He was also taken by Yuwen Huaibi to withdraw to Xiyang, the nearest city in the north, along with the Zhou army.

Yuan Wuyou had been in a daze all the way to the Xiyang County Inn. During the few moments when he was conscious, he gave them a few prescriptions and asked them to find medicine, but none of them worked.

Until she woke up one day, in the middle of the night, and found a group of people sitting at the head of her bed.

There are Yuwen Huaibi, Yuan Zizhu, Li Mingjian... The strange thing is that not only Shan Wuling came, but Gao Changgong is also here!
Is this a dream? It's really scary! How come all these heroes and nobles gathered in front of her bed?

Fortunately, he is not her lover, otherwise it would be even more terrifying.

Yuan Wuyou opened his mouth, but it felt like his neck was being strangled. His throat was tight and it took a lot of effort for him to make a sound.

Seeing that she was as swift as a swallow, Li Ming sat directly at the head of her bed.

Gao Changgong, who was wearing a fang-shaped ghost mask, saw that she had woken up. He happily took off the mask, revealing his bright and handsome face. His eyes were full of anxiety, and he was the first to speak:
"How did these white captives harm you like this? I'm here to take you home!"

But when he opened his mouth, his voice became hoarse and he started coughing, and it was obvious that he had also been infected.

As Gao Changgong was about to rush over, he was grabbed by Yuwen Huaibi, who was wearing a yellow shirt. However, he was too weak and was dragged by Gao Changgong, causing him to stagger and fall onto his back.

The Xianbei Emperor's eyes were filled with anger, and he said in a weak voice, "Nonsense! This is her home!"

Yuan Zizhu, who was standing behind the two of them, rolled his eyes and glanced at them sideways when he heard the words, pretending not to see their rivalry, and just walked straight towards his niece.

This uncle Ranxi walked to the bedside, grabbed Li Mingjian's thin collar from the back of his neck, picked him up like a chick, threw him aside, and sat down in his original position.

He snorted through his nose and started to complain.

"Do you believe your uncle now? That ungrateful bastard is the God of Plague. What makes me angry the most is, how could you be so stupid? You actually gave the only antidote to Chi Luoxie?"

"I…"

"Okay, stop talking. It's okay now. We've all gotten sick in order to protect you."

Li Mingjian, who had been robbed of his seat and could only stand at the head of the bed, glared at him with his amber eyes and was the first to refute:
"Don't make random accusations. Didn't you infect her with the disease?"

Gao Changgong at the back also agreed, "She's already like this, as an elder, you shouldn't blame her, and... I volunteered."

At this time, Shan Wuling, who was sitting at a table far away and watching for a long time with his arms folded, also spoke up: "I don't have it. Your ancient diseases are like tickling to me. I don't feel anything."

Yuan Wuyou followed the sound, looking through the crowd of people, and saw Shan Wuling with purple hair on his head. He was indeed the only lively person present. Seeing that he was not affected, she couldn't help asking:
"You know the origin of this disease, right? Do you have a recipe for an antidote?"

Even though she shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice was still hoarse and weak. Even her uncle Ranxi, who was sitting next to her, could not hear her clearly and said in surprise:

"What are you mumbling about? Your throat is like this, so stop talking."

Apparently he didn't hear clearly.

But Shan Wuling spread his hands and shrugged, saying, "I am studying 'truth', not medicine. It's good enough that I know that the Black Death came from ancient Rome. Besides, that's something that can be cured by Western medicine. Who knows how to extract it from Chinese medicine?"

At this point, he clapped his hands in sudden realization:

"Yes! This disease first broke out in ancient Rome. Nodada and her gang of women took advantage of the Roman disease to kill Rome. You really have to find a Western medicine merchant. They have a lot of experience in treating this."

Yuan Zizhu turned around and glared at him, "I really should capture you and study you to see if your flesh and blood can also detoxify."

While the two were arguing, Gao Changgong used his strong body to push others aside and rushed to the front. He sat on the girl's bed and grabbed her hand which was abnormally hot due to her illness.

His dark, bright eyes were full of affection and his look was tender.

"I've asked Chong to take people to the Xiao family to get the medicine. Just hold on for a while. I believe he can get the medicine back."

Yuan Wuyou, lying on his back on the bed, felt dizzy. When he saw Gao Changgong coming, he thought it was a dream.

But she was determined and refused decisively: "I can't take the medicine he bought from his new lover by selling his body."

"Ah? Don't be so stubborn..."

As he spoke, the man with the ghost mask hanging on his waist tightened his grip on her hot and wet palms, his dark eyes firmly saying, "I have made up my mind this time. If you can't get better, I will die with you."

These words made Yuan Wuyou so angry that her liver hurt instantly. Her originally cloudy and hazy eyes suddenly became clear, and she gritted her teeth and glared at the handsome man above her head.

"Shut up! I can't die, and you can't commit suicide for love!"

When Yuan Zizhu heard that the enemy country's Lanling King was going to commit suicide for love, he felt it would be inappropriate to stay at the head of the bed, so he stood up silently and made room.

Then he went straight to the purple-haired boy.

Uncle Ranxi came up and grabbed Shan Wuling's neck, forcing him to tell him what else he knew and how to find the medicine dealer, otherwise he would cut his flesh and take his blood with his own hands. After all, his condition was the mildest now, so killing him would be easy.

Shan Wuling chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that even if you eat my flesh and blood, it would be like eating poison." As he said that, he looked at the only girl in the room who was lying on the bed.

"Logically speaking, her body shouldn't be so weak, at least she wouldn't be so easily taken advantage of by the virus."

Yuan Zizhu narrowed his eyes, "How dare you say such sarcastic words? I asked you to come here because I wanted to exchange you for the antidote with Tuoba Ningcong. After all, he hates you the most."

"Oh, your uncle is really clear about gratitude and resentment. You disliked him before, but now you take the initiative to show kindness to him?"
