Chapter 1711: What About That?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“If Xia Houzheng becomes the Emperor, he will certainly provoke other countries very soon. Just like in his previous life, when Xia Houzheng became the Emperor, he ordered his army to attack Da Ling. In this life, he would not dare to attack Da Ling, but it does not mean that he won’t dare attack other countries. When two countries are at war, what will the people do? Moreover, even if Qu Xiao grows up and is difficult to deal with, it’s not like we can’t deal with him. It’s hard to say now. All in all, yes, I agree, we should help him now. It’s better to help him get rid of Xia Houzheng than to not.”

Seeing Jiang Yue nod, Xue Yan continued, “Tomorrow night is the farewell dinner. It’s about time to tell him our decision.”

Then, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan walked over together and also entered the garden.

After the servants left, the baby happily threw herself into her mother’s arms.

Xue Yan also patted his baby. Only when he heard his baby happily cry out twice did he say to Qu Xiao, “We’ve already decided on what to do next moving forward. We’ll continue to do as you say. We’ll help you get rid of Xia Houzheng.”

“Thank you.” Qu Xiao quickly stood up and solemnly cupped his hands. “Thank you so much.”

At this moment, his heart was completely at ease.

As long as he had Da Ling’s help, he would be able to get rid of Xia Houzheng.

“However, there is a high chance that Xia Houzheng is waiting for you to return now so that he can kill you and become the Emperor. So just like what I told you before, you can’t go back to Dongxiao, at least not for the time being. Otherwise, you’ll die for sure. You can only return after Xia Houzheng is eliminated.”

Qu Xiao immediately understood. “The farewell party will be held tomorrow night. I’ll pretend to be sick tomorrow morning. As for the rest, I’ll send someone back secretly. Even if I don’t go back personally, I can still get my people to coordinate with the outside world.”

As for how he would pretend to be sick, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t care, because they knew that Qu Xiao was capable enough to do it himself.

If he couldn’t even do this well, what else could he do?

“I’ll also arrange for the army to be prepared. When the time comes, we’ll pin down Xia Houzheng’s troops so that they won’t be able to rush back to your capital to rescue Xia Houzheng.”

…

Early the next morning, Qu Xiao pretended to be sick. His body was covered in red spots and he was feverish. The doctor he brought was one of Qu Xiao’s men, and Da Ling’s doctor had also been secretly instructed by Xue Yan to take care of Qu Xiao. Therefore, they all unanimously said that Qu Xiao had the flu.

Qu Xiao was allergic to crabs. As long as he ate crabs, he would be like this, as if he had the hives. However, not many people knew about this.

The hives were contagious, and everyone except the caretaker was kept out of the room.

The doctors even cooperated and let the group of envoys check on him before leaving. Those who were loyal to the Emperor naturally went in with great concern. Those who were not loyal to the Emperor were Xia Houzheng’s men and were afraid of being infected. However, since everyone else had gone in, they had to put on an act, so they braced themselves and went in as well.

Seeing that Qu Xiao was covered in red spots, was still hot, and his face was burning red, they naturally believed that Qu Xiao had hives.

The Emperor was sick, and it was a contagious disease. Therefore, he couldn’t return to Dongxiao for the time being. The Emperor had to recover before he could return.

Therefore, the farewell dinner was canceled.

Who knew when the hives would be cured? So, ten days later, when they heard that the Emperor’s illness was still not improving, Xia Houzheng’s men started to become a little anxious. Previously, everyone had gone in because they had no choice but to go in. Now that no one had gone in, they naturally wished not to go in, afraid of being infected. However, they were more or less curious about his illness, so they looked in through the window.
