"It’s just an allergic reaction to the dication. If we change one of the dicines, there will be no rejection anymore. It’s not serious, don’t worry." An Ning spoke gently, reassuring the patient.
The patient was young, appearing to be around fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen years old. She was a girl, and due to being sick for a long ti, her complexion was pale, her face withered, and her body was emaciated—she wasn’t particularly good-looking.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you. If it weren’t for you, we all would’ve died here." The girl expressed her gratitude emotionally, clutching An Ning’s hand and refusing to let go.
An Ning didn’t push her away and continued to soothe her, "I am rely doing my duty. Besides, the one who saved you all is Doctor Feng outside; I’m just assisting her in diagnosing your conditions."
"Ah Li, doctor, you shouldn’t be modest. Without your extraordinary dical skills, how could you have diagnosed our illness? No matter who wrote the prescription, to , you are my savior. When I’m better, I’ll repay you by any ans necessary!" The girl said with determination.
"You’re overstating it. I’m just here due to the court’s arrangent, fulfilling my responsibility as a doctor; there’s no need for you to hold it on such a pedestal. Preserve your strength and rest well now. I’ll call you when your dicine is ready."
"Thank you, Ah Li." The girl gazed at her with deep emotion.
An Ning nodded slightly.
The next mont, she wanted to break free from the girl’s grip.
The girl seed reluctant to let go, holding on tightly.
"Miss, I have other patients to attend to; please let go of ." An Ning reminded her.
The girl hesitated, unwilling to part, and said, "My na is Wang Miaozhu."
"Miss Wang."
"You can just call Miaozhu; that’s what my parents call ."
"Miss Miaozhu, please let go of ." An Ning’s tone was warm, but inevitably a bit impatient.
"When the dicine is ready, will Ah Li personally co to feed ?" Wang Miaozhu looked at An Ning with expectation.
"If I’m available, I’ll co personally."
"Then I’ll wait for you."
"Alright, let go of ." An Ning urged once more.
Wang Miaozhu reluctantly released An Ning.
An Ning took a deep breath.
She rose and wanted to leave.
Faced with such a clingy patient, leaving was the best option.
Suddenly, as she got up, dizziness blackened her vision, and she nearly collapsed.
At that mont.
She felt a steady arm pulling her into an embrace.
The familiar sensation startled her; she pushed the person away without thinking.
The movent was too forceful; after pushing him away, she fell backward due to the rebound.
Guan Yu hurriedly embraced her.
Previously, he hadn’t paid attention, so he didn’t catch the lady first.
Perhaps the person in front was too quick; before he could react, the lady was in his embrace.
An Ning suddenly fell into Guan Yu’s arms.
At that mont, she saw Xiao Jinxing retreating several steps under her force.
Xiao Wu hurriedly approached to support Xiao Jinxing, exclaiming, "Your Majesty."
No one expected that Ah Li would push the emperor away like that, hence he couldn’t support the emperor imdiately.
He even felt that in Ah Li’s eyes, the emperor was akin to a venomous beast she avoided.
The series of sudden events.
Made the atmosphere tense instantly.
Xiao Wu dared not speak.
Clearly feeling the emperor’s suppressed anger.
The emperor’s gaze was fixed on Ah Li, watching her in Guan Yu’s arms, his expression icy.
An Ning pursed her lips.
Seeing Xiao Jinxing’s expression.
She hadn’t expected herself to reject him so forcefully, to push him like that.
But what’s done is done...
Besides, Xiao Jinxing was visiting in disguise, and since he didn’t reveal his identity as emperor, her offense against him was unwitting.
An Ning cald down, then stepped out from Guan Yu’s embrace, bowed with fists clenched, "I didn’t know it was you, sir; forgive my rudeness."
Xiao Jinxing’s face was dark.
He simply watched with cold detachnt.
Xiao Wu, not wanting Ah Li to be hard, quickly supported, "Your Majesty, Ah Li didn’t do it on purpose; he’s probably too tired and didn’t realize it was you helping him, leading to the offense. Don’t take it to heart. Ah Li has other patients to treat."
Xiao Jinxing’s expression remained cold, he continued watching him intently, saying nothing.
An Ning pursed her lips, respectfully repeating, "I offended you, sir; it’s my fault. But I need to treat other patients now; I hope you’ll be generous and forgive my unintended mistake, as I must attend to other patients."
Speaking.
An Ning bowed and turned to leave, not waiting for Xiao Jinxing’s permission.
Xiao Wu’s eyes widened.
Ah Li’s guts seed inflated.
His lord hadn’t yet spoken, but he turned to leave.
If Ah Li knew he was offending the current emperor, he’d probably be scared witless.
Xiao Wu was tense.
Afraid the emperor might, in anger, have Ah Li dragged out and executed.
Amidst the unease, suddenly he was handed a cloak.
Xiao Wu looked puzzled.
Why did the emperor give him his own cloak?!
He wasn’t cold?!
"Give it to him!" Xiao Jinxing left with those words, departing directly.
To whom?!
Xiao Wu was startled for a while.
Then silently turned to look at Ah Li, who was treating other patients as if nothing had happened, not feeling well.
Recently, has his lord... been bewitched.
Xiao Wu nonetheless handed the cloak to Ah Ning.
An Ning’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"My lord is considerate of your hard work in treating patients; with the night getting colder, you’d better wear it, don’t waste his kindness." Xiao Wu spoke with so difficulty.
An Ning looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu felt uncomfortable being stared at; he scratched his head, "Don’t ask why my lord did such things?! Anyway, my lord cares for the well-being of the nation and its people and treats all good people well."
"Hmm." An Ning didn’t want to dwell on it.
Xiao Jinxing asked Xiao Wu to do sothing, and Xiao Wu would risk his life to complete it.
"Thank you." An Ning accepted, expressing gratitude.
Xiao Wu sighed in relief.
Sohow, he felt as if Ah Li was about to refuse a mont ago.
But accepted in the end.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain to the emperor.
"Wear it quickly, avoid catching cold. They say once you catch cold, it’s easy to contract a plague." Xiao Wu advised, "Don’t overwork, rest well. I’ll leave now."
"Sir, walk slowly." An Ning bid farewell.
Xiao Wu turned to hurriedly find the emperor.
Once Xiao Wu left.
An Ning handed the cloak directly to Guan Yu, "I’m not cold, you wear it."
"...I’m not cold either." Guan Yu responded hastily.
"Then let’s just discard it."
"... Is it really okay?!"
