Chapter 49 The Apprentice's Sickness Is My Business
###49 It’s my fault that my apprentice is sick.
The sun sets after the rain, and the fallen flowers dance lightly, as if they fell to the ground due to the rain.

He Tong didn't know what he saw or what he thought?He only knew that the death in front of him was so unforgettable, and the pain in front of him was so deep in his heart. He studied medicine with his father since he was a child, and regarded it as his duty to treat diseases and save people.There were indeed ugly things and unspeakable evils in the palace, but after all, they did not originate from his original intention, nor did he willingly participate in them.

It is just a hand being used by others, a puppet relying on others to survive.But this puppet was not willing to go to oblivion for no reason. He was choked by his own hands that were healing people and suffocating him to death.

"Medical He, what happened?" Xiao Ling stepped forward and tried to pull away Doctor He's hands from around his neck, but felt that those hands weighed a thousand pounds, and the blood in those hands was boiling like red flames.

"This woman is too evil, I can't help her."

Xiao Ling said angrily.

"No need to worry about it, it's my fault that my apprentice is sick."

No one knew whether they saw the sudden appearance of the person first or heard the person's voice first.When he came back to his senses, he saw that Ye Xiaolou was already holding the hot body in his arms.

"Can Mr. Ye be so casual now and come into the palace unnoticed? Do you think the palace is Qixia Mountain?" Xiao Ling was furious and raised her chin angrily, pretending to be a condescending princess.

Ye Xiaolou didn't seem to hear it at all.

"Hey, talking to you."

"Your Highness, since it is my apprentice who is sick, you should notify me for treatment. Why are there so many people here but Qixia Mountain was not notified?"

Ye Xiaolou's voice didn't mean to blame, it was just calm without any fluctuation, as if he was saying something ordinary.But Xiao Jin knew that this incident was unusual. If He Tong's situation could be described as ordinary, what other unusual things could there be in the world?
Although he was always calm, he couldn't help but worry, could this little jade girl really be some kind of evil creature.If this is really the case, no, she has such a thin body and such a kind and simple heart.

No, people's hearts are separated by many mountains. Maybe she is really unusual.

"Xiaolou, it's my fault."

"Third brother, you are a high-ranking prince, how can you admit your mistakes in such a low voice? No wonder my father thinks you are cowardly and incompetent and cannot take on important matters in the court."

The third prince was about to appease Xiao Ling's emotions, but he saw Ye Xiaolou walking towards the door with Xiaoyu in his arms.

"Miss Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

Xiao Jin asked from behind.

"Of course nothing will happen." Before he finished speaking, the two people had disappeared.

He Tong gradually regained consciousness, but could not utter a complete sentence. When asked what the girl's illness was, he looked frightened and shook his head.I couldn't say a complete word out of my mouth like "ah ah ah".

"If it weren't for evil spirits and sorcery, I really don't know how to explain what happened in the third brother's palace today."

"Since Dr. He is ill, let Wei Bing send him back to rest. Fourth sister will pretend that she didn't see what happened today."

Xiao Jin closed the window and ordered the waiter to light the sea cloud lotus again. "I thought Third Brother didn't need Hai Yunlian anymore." Xiao Ling said reproachfully and distressedly.Looking at the haggard third prince who could only move slowly, she could only endure her complaints for the time being.But there were some things she had to say.

"Ye Xiaolou's attitude is becoming more and more outrageous. After all, he is a minister. How can he be so ignorant of the heaven and earth?"

"Don't be unreasonable."

There was a disturbing cough.

"Third brother, I'm doing this for your own good. And this sick girl is not a maid of a beautiful lady at all. You knew who she was from the beginning, didn't you?"

Xiao Jin did not deny it.

"I came here originally to tell you that my eldest brother has made great achievements in controlling floods in Suishan. My mother will definitely take this opportunity to ask my father to make him the prince as soon as possible. By then, you will have no chance."

"Fourth sister is too worried. I have never thought about competing with my eldest brother for the position of crown prince. I just want the world to be peaceful, the people to be healthy, to have someone to rely on when they are old, and to have something to support them. There will be no war or competition. How can I compete with my eldest brother? If you fight with others, fight with your brothers.”

"After Tai Shi's death, ministers have been waiting for an opportunity to make a fuss about this bizarre death. Although my eldest brother will not believe the rumors easily, the dispute between the two sons has always been bloody, and never ended peacefully between the two parties. You If you don't take precautions, you may be killed at any time. Among the important officials in the court, who will help you and speak for you at that time?"

"I believe in him."

Xiao Jin's eyes were full of brilliance. He was a kind-hearted gentleman and naturally he shouldn't worry about these imaginary things.What's more, he believed in that person from the bottom of his heart. As long as that person was around, no one could hurt him.No one can do it.

"Ye Xiaolou? This person has a weird mind. Today, a woman of unknown origin has spoken so rudely to you. I really don't understand why my brother believes in such a person so much."

Although Xiao Ling said she was sorry for Xiao Jin, she felt aggrieved for herself in her heart. Ye Xiaolou had never taken him seriously since he was a child. No matter how beautiful and charming she was, he never took a serious look at her.Originally, she even thought that Ye Xiaolou would never take a serious look at a woman and that no one could come close to him.But today, he suddenly appeared like this, and protected an ugly and sick woman in his arms like this. It was not easy to make her believe that Ye Xiaolou was just withdrawn by nature.

"That girl is Xiaolou's apprentice." Xiao Jin said calmly, but felt that the words were very hesitant and uncomfortable.

"Disciple? I have never heard of Jing Xianglou accepting a disciple."

"There is always a precedent for everything."

"Since you are an apprentice." Xiao Ling's tone softened, and she flicked her sleeves Xinxin, "Since she is an apprentice, if this girl is really evil, Jing Xianglou will not be able to escape her involvement."

"The fourth sister must not let the eldest brother know that the eldest prince has a close relationship with Shang Wu. Now he has married Qin Yan's sister as his concubine, and they are even closer to each other. The eldest brother has always been afraid of Jing Xianglou's accumulation of influence in the world over the years. , if he were to know, unnecessary disputes might arise."

"Are you worried about Ye Xiaolou or about his apprentice?"

A trace of rays of light flashed across Xiao Ling's brows, the setting sun shone slantingly outside the window, and the evil spirits disappeared without a trace.All that remains is the burning scent of sea cloud lily.

It is inevitable that this matter should be hidden from Xiao Yu for the time being, but Xiao Ling will not forget what happened to He Tong, and what he said, how he was haunted by a demon and struggled to strangle himself to death, she will remember. Be sure to check it out.
