An Ning truly did not expect Xiao Jinxing would co personally.
Is he so idle?! Or is he worried about Feng Xiyun, worried that Feng Xiyun is coming to the plague area alone.
An Ning pretended to sleep.
After all, one should not look at what is impolite.
She also didn’t expect to open her eyes and see them embracing.
Xiao Jinxing gently pushed Feng Xiyun out of his embrace.
Feng Xiyun’s originally pale cheeks suddenly blushed red.
She said shyly, "I’m sorry, I just felt dizzy and couldn’t stand steady..."
"Hmm." Xiao Jinxing responded nonchalantly and asked, "How is he?"
Gazing at the person still asleep.
Just now... did he wake up?!
Feng Xiyun internally adjusted her emotions.
Indeed, she wasn’t intentional just now.
She hadn’t been sleeping well these days and felt rather weak, causing dizziness as soon as she got up, hence she fell into the Emperor’s arms.
But when she really fell into his arms, feeling his body against hers, her heart raced uncontrollably, and even now, it seems unable to calm down.
She suppressed her inner excitent.
Spoke softly, saying, "Ali was just overly fatigued, and now he’s fallen into a deep sleep, but his body is otherwise fine."
"Hmm." Xiao Jinxing responded.
"Then let’s not disturb Ali’s rest," Feng Xiyun suggested, "Let him sleep a bit longer. He’s really worked hard during this ti. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have found the cure for the plague so quickly."
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered.
He looked at Feng Xiyun and asked flatly, "He helped you?"
"Yes." Feng Xiyun nodded, speaking sincerely, "Ali is truly excellent. Initially, I didn’t want him to co to the plague area; I was worried he’d get infected. But he was insistent, and we couldn’t refuse. When Ali ca, he was really helpful; he treated patients inside, while I researched prescriptions based on the different symptoms outside, coordinating inside and out, and now the patients in the critical area show significant improvent with my prescriptions."
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips.
He looked at Feng Xiyun, observing her gentle and obedient deanor.
Feng Xiyun seed to sense the Emperor’s gaze was different, and she thought it over, feeling she hadn’t said anything wrong.
So she calmly faced the Emperor.
The Emperor suddenly ca today, she actually didn’t understand why he ca?!
An emperor wouldn’t travel thousands of miles for a plague affecting hundreds when he could send ministers and Imperial Physicians from the Imperial Palace to solve it out of kindness.
And yet he ca personally...
Feng Xiyun dared not think more.
Even if her heart had begun to flutter.
If the Emperor truly ca for her...
Feng Xiyun’s face seed to redden again.
In truth, during the past half-year, she hadn’t had much interaction with the Emperor in the Imperial Palace; he wasn’t easy to get close to, and she didn’t want to annoy him or let him discover her true thoughts, so she diligently did her duties without crossing any lines. When she received the imperial command to co to Changn, she didn’t refuse and set out imdiately.
Was it her sensible and tactful behavior that garnered a bit of affection from the Emperor?!
Feng Xiyun bit her lip lightly, trying to look calm.
She knew well that being too proactive with a man who already has soone in his heart would only bring aversion, while showing no inappropriate desires was the only way to truly get closer to him.
"Let’s go, don’t disturb his sleep." Xiao Jinxing spoke.
As he turned to leave, he seed to glance back at the sleeping person before leading the group away.
An Ning felt people leaving.
Sighed quietly with relief.
If she’d known Xiao Jinxing would co... known he wanted to co, she probably would have co.
After all, lives are at stake.
And after several days of indirect contact and exchange with Feng Xiyun, though Feng Xiyun’s dical skills are good, it’s mainly because she’s well-versed with dical skills, adept at traditional illnesses, but she might not pinpoint the prescription for this sudden plague.
By the ti Feng Xiyun cos up with a solution, who knows how many would have died.
An Ning opened her eyes again.
"Young Master, you’re awake?" Guan Yu looked at her.
"Hmm." Awoken by noise.
"You just slept a while, rest a bit more."
"No need." An Ning sat up.
She couldn’t wait to treat the patients promptly and leave early.
Honestly didn’t expect to et Xiao Jinxing.
But Xiao Jinxing likely didn’t recognize her.
After all, she’s a man now?!
Xiao Jinxing probably wouldn’t suspect her.
Honestly.
With soone as cunning as Xiao Jinxing, she couldn’t be completely sure she could fool him.
Unlike Xiao Wu and Pang Nan, who are simple and honest, not overthinking.
An Ning kept herself from overthinking.
Anyway, even if recognized, to Xiao Jinxing, she was rely a Jianghu Doctor!
An Ning continued to diagnose patients, taking Guan Yu along, and got busy quickly.
...
Linghe Temple.
Xiao Jinxing, after leaving the plague area, directly ca here.
"Emperor, you’ve been on a long journey. Would you like to rest first?" Xiao Wu asked.
He felt the Emperor was heavy-hearted.
The whole way back, he hadn’t said a word.
At the temple, he remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
But no one knew what he was thinking?
Xiao Jinxing responded to Xiao Wu’s voice as if coming back to reality, and nodded, "Rest for a while first."
"Then please follow to the County Magistrate’s Mansion, where arrangents have already been made," Xiao Wu said respectfully.
"No need, I’ll rest here," Xiao Jinxing refused firmly.
"But the conditions here are poor." Xiao Wu quickly interjected, "If not for the plague, this temple rarely has visitors. There’re only a few rooms, and they’re all occupied..."
Xiao Jinxing gave him a look.
Xiao Wu dared not speak more.
He turned to Pang Nan, "This is troubleso, Lord Pang."
"Yes, I will arrange it imdiately," Pang Nan received the order and hurried away.
Beside them, Feng Xiyun secretly rejoiced.
Was the Emperor choosing to stay in such a simple temple because she was here?!
She lightly bit her lip, trying to stay composed.
"Accompany around the temple," Xiao Jinxing said to Xiao Wu.
"Yes." Xiao Wu responded respectfully.
"Emperor, I shall not accompany you," Feng Xiyun spoke proactively, "I must write prescriptions. I want to save the plague victims as soon as possible. Please forgive , Emperor."
"Do your work." Xiao Jinxing said blandly.
"Yes." Feng Xiyun respectfully watched the Emperor and Xiao Wu leave.
Looking at the Emperor’s tall and handso figure...
Feng Xiyun suppressed her inner impulse.
Although she wished to always be by his side, she knew better how to truly win his favor!
Not to be hasty!
