Chapter 4456 Marry a Beauty

Qian'er also didn't sleep well all night.

Before dawn, I stood by the window and looked up.

It wasn't until she heard the familiar knocking on the window that she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the window.

Xiaozhuang jumped in lightly.

Qian'er smiled and said, "Do you still need to jump out of the window now?"

The guards had long known his comings and goings, but they just turned a blind eye and closed one eye every time.

The high priest must have known about it for a long time.

Xiaozhuang said: "Get closer to the window."

Qian'er laughed. Seeing that he was tired and his eyes were blue, he knew that he had been running around all night and had not slept. He poured him a cup of tea and said, "Sit down and rest."

Xiaozhuang took the tea and drank it in one gulp.

Extremely thirsty.

Qian'er twisted another warm handkerchief to him and asked, "Have you seen the child?"

"Not only did I meet the second princess and the second prince-in-law, I also met Prince Lian."

"Ah, how is the waiter?"

"As expected, Prince Lian was also infected with the epidemic. However, Prince Lian is in good health, and with the care of his second consort, he has recovered. He is recuperating." Xiaozhuang knew that she was worried, so he told the second son's condition in a few words.

Qian'er breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the high priest's prescription is still effective."

"Yes, I have roughly learned something along the way. The plague has spread from southern Xinjiang to the north. Once the old, weak and sick women are infected, the mortality rate is extremely high. There is no effective medicine available, and most people get sick. We can only endure it. Those who are strong may be able to survive it."

"About how many people have died now?" Qian'er asked.

"No one knows the exact number. According to my estimate, there are hundreds of thousands of people."

"Too many." Qian'er sighed, "This is just a rough estimate. There are so many people in remote places who died silently without anyone paying attention."

Xiaozhuang was also a little silent.

He didn't want to describe too much to Qian'er about the tragic situation along the way.

The actual situation would only be more serious than what he saw.

Both of them felt a little heavy.

Until the guard's voice came from outside.

"Master Long Bo, the high priest invites you."

"I understand." Xiaozhuang responded naturally.

Qian'er was amused and asked: "Is the toddler okay too?"

"The second princess's temper has become even more irritable. She has been looking for you everywhere during this period, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight. When she saw that I didn't bring you back, she almost ate me."

"Children don't care about eating you."

Xiaozhuang smiled and didn't think deeply about what she meant by eating.

However, Qian'er reacted quickly. The tips of her ears were quickly dyed crimson, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

Xiaozhuang smiled secretly in his heart, "I have discussed it with the second princess and the prince. They will bring people here soon. You have to be prepared."

Qian'er smiled and said, "They didn't come here to kidnap me. It's you who should be prepared."

"That's true."

"The high priest is looking for you, you'd better go quickly. If you go late, you won't be able to marry a beautiful woman and enter the bridal chamber."

"I can't marry you now even if I want to."

"As long as you think about it, this matter won't be easy to handle?"

"It's not easy to handle, not at all." Xiaozhuang looked at her and smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be a talkative person. I didn't notice it in the past."

Xiaozhuang smiled and said: "I didn't dare to talk to the princess before because of the difference in status. Princess, think about it, I have been in the market since I was a child. I don't talk about talking to people or talking about ghosts, so I won't be silent. I have a dull temperament. Most of the time, I am too lazy to talk."
