Chapter 50 He Must Be My Sister's Husband

It is estimated that quite a few people have been infected by this plague.

Although the source of the plague was rats, the disease can also be transmitted through human blood, so Lu Qingyu bandaged Sasha's wound.

Not long after, He Junxuan walked in from the back of the yard.

Today he was only wearing a plain grey robe, but under the sun, his skin was so cold and white that it was almost transparent. In terms of temperament, he was cold and aloof, yet with a hint of evil charm, like a banished immortal who had walked out of a painting.

Every time she saw He Junxuan, Lu Qingyu could feel a different charm in this man.

Just like groping for treasure in the dark, it always brings her surprises.

He Junxuan was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Qingyu's "makeup", and then he showed a nonchalant and evil smile.

"Miss Lu, can you also disguise yourself?" The man raised his voice, obviously very interested.

Lu Qingyu smiled slightly, "It's just a little trick. If Your Highness likes it, I can also change your appearance in the future."

He Junxuan curled the corners of his lips and seemed to be in a good mood.

"I have already taken the antidote that Miss Lu gave me the day before yesterday. The next antidote depends on whether Miss Lu can get the Phoenix Fruit from the third brother."

"Your Highness, don't worry."

He Junxuan nodded, then walked to the stone table in the shade and sat down. "Why did you call me here today?"

Lu Qingyu hesitated for a moment and then said, "There are two things. The second one is a bit serious. I want you to see a child first."

Seeing Lu Qingyu's serious expression, He Junxuan's eyes also became serious. He stood up and walked back to Lu Qingyu.

"Let's go."

Lu Qingyu led He Junxuan to the room where Sasha was.

When I opened the door, I saw the little girl holding a bowl and eating porridge voraciously. There were rice stains at the corners of her mouth and on her clothes.

Hearing the door open, Sasha put down the bowl and burped.

But after seeing the strange man next to her sister, Sasha visibly flinched.

"Sister, who is he?" Sasha stammered.

Lu Qingyu walked up to Sasha and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Sasha. He is my sister's friend. He is a good man and is here to help you."

Sasha's gray-blue pupils rolled around and she puffed up her cheeks. "Sister, you are lying. How can a girl be friends with a boy? He must be your husband."

The room was quiet for a moment, and then Lu Qingyu's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing two shallow dimples.

I have to say, Sasha's words made her feel very good.

"Shasha is really smart." Lu Qingyu glanced at He Junxuan with a slightly innocent look, "This big brother is indeed my sister's husband, but our relationship cannot be told to others. Can Shasha keep it a secret for my sister?"

He Junxuan's dark pupils flickered slightly, but he did not expose Lu Qingyu's lie.

Sasha blinked her big eyes, and seeing that He Junxuan did not refute, her rolling eyes suddenly became a little cunning.

"Sister, Shasha understands~" the girl laughed, "I will definitely not tell anyone!"

Lu Qingyu: “.”

He Junxuan: “.”

Why do I feel like this kid has some wrong ideas?
In order to ease the embarrassment, Lu Qingyu asked He Junxuan to sit down, "Shasha, tell your sister how many people you have seen recently who were bitten by rats and had wounds like yours."

Looking at the white scarf on Sasha's arm that had already seeped yellow fluid, He Junxuan's brows showed a trace of contemplation.

The first thought that came to his mind was the plague.

Shasha held her head and thought carefully, then raised her head after a while. "I live with a few sisters in a homeless camp in the west of the city. A few days ago, many of us were bitten by rats. It was not a big deal at the time. But a few days later, the wounds started to ooze pus and turn black."

Shasha's expression turned a little horrified. "I saw with my own eyes that a grandfather's arm was completely rotten, and in the end, he died."

"What about his body?" He Junxuan asked in a deep voice.

Shasha curled up in a chair and said in a trembling voice, "The grandfather's body was taken away by the soldiers. I don't know where it was taken to."

"Sister, will I be like that grandpa? I, I don't want to die." Sasha's eyes began to turn red.

These days, she has been suppressing the fear in her heart, but now she can no longer control her emotions.

Tears flowed like pearls from a broken string, streaking across her dirty cheeks.

Lu Qingyu rubbed her head, her voice gentle and with a hint of female magnetism, "Don't be afraid, Sasha, I'm a doctor and I will cure you."

Sasha choked for a while before nodding pitifully, "Sasha believes in her sister."

"Then Shasha, rest in your room for a while. Don't come out. Your sister and this brother have something to discuss."

After leaving the room, Lu Qingyu and He Junxuan's eyes met.

They all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

After walking into the corridor, He Junxuan stopped, turned around and stood still.

"Thank you Miss Lu for letting me know about this. If the plague could be controlled in advance, there would be fewer casualties." He Junxuan looked serious.

Lu Qingyu's expression remained solemn. She shook her head slightly and said, "Your Highness, this epidemic is not as simple as you think."

After some consideration, Lu Qingyu decided to tell everything. She recounted her experiences with the epidemic in her previous life.

The scale, the number of deaths, the duration, and the miracle doctor’s prescription.

After listening, He Junxuan fell silent.

If Lu Qingyu's statement is true, the scale of this epidemic is unprecedentedly terrifying.

The registered death toll alone is over 80,000. One can imagine how many families have been torn apart and how many industries have been hit hard by this plague, if we add those who died silently.

However, coincidentally, He Junxuan had heard of the genius doctor Bai who was recommended by King Ning.

Bai Yuan was a barefoot doctor in Huaiyang, and had some fame in the local area. However, one time he accidentally killed a person and was sued by the family of the patient.

He Junxuan was just passing by Huaiyang at the time and heard about the incident. Later, he never paid any attention to Bai Yuan's verdict.

Such a barefoot doctor would be recommended by the third brother and even write a prescription to treat the plague.

If you tell others about it, he would be a magical character who could be written into a storybook.

"So, Miss Lu, do you still remember the recipe?" He Junxuan asked the most crucial question.

"I remember the recipe, but one of the herbs is very rare. If it is used on a large scale, the stock in the Beijing pharmacy will definitely not be enough. In fact, I have always been a little curious about how Bai Yuan was able to come up with so many Nine-Layered Lotuses at that time."

"Which medicinal ingredient?"

"Nine-layered lotus, a plant that only grows in extremely cold and gloomy areas."

He Junxuan raised his eyebrows. An extremely cold and gloomy area?

Thinking that it was Bai Yuan who was recommended by Prince Ning, He Junxuan suddenly realized something.
