An Ning’s eyes were cold.
The officer beside her looked troubled but determined.
"Master, please have your al first; your health is important," Guan Yu quickly suggested.
He didn’t want the young lady to be so exhausted.
It seed the lady was working harder than ever after eting the two visitors today.
She didn’t even want a break.
"Please don’t make it difficult for the doctor," the officer requested again.
An Ning pressed her lips together.
She knew that prolonging this argunt would only waste more ti.
She nodded and accepted the lunchbox from the officer’s hand.
Opening the lunchbox.
An Ning’s eyes tightened again.
She had been here for several days now.
Every day, her als were simple and plain, but today’s food was noticeably richer.
Guan Yu also looked surprised and couldn’t help but say, "Is today a special festival? Why is the al so extravagant?!"
The officer shook his head; he didn’t know either.
He only knew that he was ordered to ensure the doctor finished her al.
"Master, please eat quickly," Guan Yu urged again.
An Ning picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but the food tasted bland to her.
Why did Xiao Jinxing’s arrival make such a difference in the al quality?!
Was this improvent for his reception, or was it just for her?
"Does it not taste good?" Guan Yu looked at An Ning’s expression, a bit surprised.
It seed delicious; he was getting hungry just looking at it.
An Ning shook her head.
She didn’t want to dwell on it and told Guan Yu, "You should eat with . There’s too much; I can’t finish it all."
Guan Yu had not yet agreed.
The officer quickly said, "They said this al must be eaten by the doctor alone and must be finished."
An Ning frowned.
Guan Yu also found it unreasonably peculiar.
This was too oppressive!
How could the young lady eat all of it alone?
She usually didn’t have a big appetite.
"I’m just following orders," the officer said, blushing under An Ning and Guan Yu’s gaze.
Guan Yu was speechless, "If I ate, they wouldn’t know."
"Guan Yu, please don’t make it difficult for ," the officer pleaded.
Guan Yu wanted to argue.
An Ning called him, "Let’s not make it hard for him. I’m quite hungry, I can finish it."
"Alright," Guan Yu nodded.
He was worried about bothering the young lady.
An Ning began eating again.
She indeed ate until she was full.
She put down the bowl and chopsticks.
"Doctor, the officer outside specifically instructed you to finish the chicken soup," the officer suddenly said.
An Ning frowned.
She really couldn’t eat anymore.
"He said you have been working hard inside, and you must take care of your health."
"..." An Ning gritted her teeth.
She drank the full bowl of chicken soup without leaving a drop.
"Thank you for your hard work, doctor," the officer said as he saw the doctor finally finish and let out a breath of relief.
He quickly tidied up the dishes and left.
An Ning returned to the simple ink table to write prescriptions.
She was too full.
Besides, the past days had been exhausting.
As she wrote, An Ning fell asleep at the ink table.
In that mont of falling asleep, An Ning couldn’t help but curse Xiao Jinxing.
It’s not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates!
...
Linghe Temple.
The night was tranquil.
A few people sat at the dining table to eat together.
"Your Majesty, is it not to your taste?" Xiao Wu asked, concerned, seeing the emperor’s sparse eating.
Pang Nan and Feng Xiyun naturally noticed the emperor’s distracted eating and looked at him.
"No," Xiao Jinxing said indifferently, "You can continue eating without minding ."
"Yes."
They resud their al quietly.
After a while.
A report ca from outside the door, "Reporting to the lords, Doctor An has finished all her dinner."
"Very well, you may withdraw," Xiao Wu responded.
He was completely surprised!
This afternoon, the emperor, after a brief rest, instructed als for Doctor An, each dish chosen by the emperor himself, and emphasized that An must finish them.
Xiao Wu wondered if the emperor ca to make trouble deliberately?!
With so much food, looking at An Ning’s thin arms and legs, one could tell she wasn’t the type to eat a lot!
He could already imagine An’s complaining little expression.
Upon hearing that An finished eating, he felt a sense of guilt.
Xiao Wu turned back to his al.
Was it an illusion?!
Why did it seem like the emperor’s appetite opened up?!
Xiao Wu could never quite understand their great emperor!
After the al, monks ca in to tidy up the dishes.
Xiao Wu glanced around, a bit puzzled, "Why isn’t it the usual monk who serves us anymore?"
The monk quickly replied, "He was feeling unwell today, so I have co to take care of you, esteed lords."
"Oh." Xiao Wu didn’t suspect more.
Yet inexplicably, he felt a sense of goodwill towards that monk.
Maybe just sympathy.
Thinking about the facial disfigurent, it seed quite tragic.
After the evening al.
Xiao Wu accompanied the emperor for a walk in the temple courtyard.
The night breeze brought a chill.
Xiao Wu quickly advised respectfully, "Your Majesty, it’s getting cold at night. Wouldn’t it be better to return and rest?"
"Bring the cloak," Xiao Jinxing ordered.
"..." The temple wasn’t very big.
Why was the emperor lingering around so much?!
Xiao Wu asked a guard to fetch the cloak, intending to drape it over the emperor.
Xiao Jinxing took the cloak directly.
And headed straight out of the temple.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Wu hurriedly chased after him.
What was the emperor doing in the middle of the night?!
Xiao Wu followed the emperor to the plague area.
Xiao Wu couldn’t understand why the emperor ca here?!
Everything was orderly; all they needed was to administer dication and wait for the plague victims to recover and be released.
Why was the emperor so concerned?!
"Your Majesty, are you going inside again?" Xiao Wu inquired.
"Yes."
Xiao Wu wanted to tell the emperor that his presence truly added chaos to the doctor’s work!
But he dared not say it.
He can only brace himself to accompany the emperor into the plague area again.
The plague area at night wasn’t as quiet as imagined.
Possibly because many patients had improved after dication; having been lying down for so long, they sat up, chatting—creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Xiao Jinxing and Xiao Wu entered.
The officer hurried forward, "Greetings, lords."
"Quite lively," Xiao Wu comnted.
"Most people have healed quite a bit, so everyone got up," the officer responded.
Xiao Wu nodded and asked, "Where is An Ning?"
"Doctor An is treating a patient. After taking dicine, there seed to be so adverse reaction, so An is caring for him separately."
"Do you want to check on them, sire?" Xiao Wu asked.
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
Xiao Wu quickly requested the officer to lead the way.
He understood.
The emperor’s visit was indeed for An Ning.
While walking around the temple, he was clearly distracted.
They moved towards a bed in the infirmary.
An Ning sat beside the bed, seriously checking the patient’s pulse, unaware of the people coming behind her.
