In any case, there was no difference if one more person required dicinal herbs. They would let her have a taste of suffering first.
Their master had said it was okay to contract the epidemic disease a few tis.
…
A day later, Xue Ling successfully contracted the disease. She let out a miserable scream in the infected area.
anwhile, An Jiuyue and Deputy General Sun returned.
They should have returned earlier, but they were delayed because they picked a lot of dicinal herbs on their journey back.
“We’re back, General.”
Deputy General Sun ca to Qian Jiyun’s tent alone to report their return.
“We gathered—”
“Where’s Jiuyue?”
Qian Jiyun did not want to hear how many herbs they had picked. He only wanted to hear of An Jiuyue’s return.
“Uh…” Deputy General Sun was rendered speechless for a mont.
“Well, General, I wanted to persuade Miss Jiuyue to co back with , but she said that she had sothing to do, so she didn’t co back with .”
He did not understand either. What else would Princess Consort An have to do? She turned and left after giving him the herbs.
They were near the military camp. Even if there was sothing important, they could return and inform the General that they were safe first, right?
“General, this is the letter that Miss Jiuyue instructed to deliver to you.”
Qian Jiyun imdiately took the letter and opened it. He understood it after a glance.
He waved at Deputy General Sun. “You can leave first.”
“Yes, I’ll take my leave,” Deputy General Sun replied and turned around to leave.
However, he rembered that he had encountered people from the 18 Stockaded Villages on the mountain and decided to report it to the General.
“General, when I was picking herbs with Miss Jiuyue, we encountered people from the 18 Stockaded Villages. Their people seem to have contracted the disease. We were gathering dicinal herbs together, but we arrived ahead of them.
“Later, they asked us for help. Miss Jiuyue took the initiative and distributed so herbs to them.”
He still did not understand. The 18 Stockaded Villages were so far away from the epidemic outbreak. How did they contract the disease? He had been pondering it on the journey back.
“Got it.”
Qian Jiyun was not too surprised. Shen Yan had already co begging—nothing else would surprise him more.
However, he did not expect Shen Yan’s people to pick the dicinal herbs with An Jiuyue. He was relieved they were not completely clueless about treating the disease.
“I’ll take my leave.”
Upon hearing that, Deputy General Sun left.
After Deputy General Sun left, Yan Feng walked in and looked at his master hesitantly.
“Master, the Mistress…”
“There’s no need for you here. Go protect Jiuyue.”
Qian Jiyun inford Yan Feng of the address An Jiuyue had written to him in the letter and asked him to protect Jiuyue.
Since she said she had more important things to do, it must be true. He would support her, but he did not want her to tire herself out doing it.
If there were tasks that soone else could do, let them do them instead.
“Well…” Yan Feng was speechless.
He admitted he was skilled at martial arts, and his skills might be comparable to Qian Jiyun. However, he was a man. It was a little inappropriate to accompany An Jiuyue alone.
It was not that he had anything against won, but he was afraid it would damage her reputation.
“Master, the Shadow Guards have always trained female shadow guards. Why don’t I select so powerful ones and send them to the Mistress?” he suggested.
