"Don’t worry, soone will take you back." Xiao Jinxing’s deep voice replied.
An Ning seed to open her eyes and glance at the person in front of her, but it was as if she didn’t see clearly, and she closed her eyes in a daze.
Xiao Jinxing felt she had cald down, likely because she heard him, and without further hesitation, he carried her out of the tavern.
Outside the tavern.
Feng Xiyun hadn’t left yet.
Even though the Emperor had asked her to go back first.
But she didn’t want to leave.
These days, the Emperor had been too cold to her; often when she approached him, he would find excuses to leave, which made her very uncomfortable.
Was it because a maid fed him dicine mouth-to-mouth, that the Emperor started to dislike her?!
Finally, today she took the initiative to invite the Emperor for a walk at the Changn County night market, and surprisingly, the Emperor agreed.
After agreeing, the two of them had been walking back and forth on the street.
After several rounds, the Emperor finally stopped, saying he was hungry at this tavern.
Actually, while walking around, she noticed that every ti the Emperor passed by this tavern, he would glance at it more; she almost invited the Emperor to drink and admire the moon together, but then the Emperor suddenly asked her to leave, taking his trusted aide inside.
Feng Xiyun hesitated, but still waited at the tavern entrance for the Emperor to leave together.
After waiting for quite a while.
She saw Little Wu, who was very drunk, being carried out of the tavern by two trusted aides.
He was muttering, "Ah Li, wait for , co back, I’ll send you..."
So.
Little Wu was drinking with Ah Li at this tavern today?!
The Emperor knew, so he wanted to drink too?!
Does the Emperor like drinking? I didn’t think he was a heavy drinker!
While Feng Xiyun couldn’t figure it out, she saw the Emperor coming out.
He was holding soone in his arms.
Upon closer look, she recognized it was Ah Li.
Feng Xiyun hurriedly approached, "Your Majesty..."
Xiao Jinxing glanced at Feng Xiyun but didn’t explain anything, carrying Ah Li forward.
Feng Xiyun gritted her teeth.
She quickly caught up, "Your Majesty, did Ah Li get drunk?"
"Yes." Xiao Jinxing responded.
"Ah Li may look frail, but he’s still a man, carrying him like this is too tiring for you, Your Majesty. Shouldn’t you let the aides carry him back to rest..."
Before she could finish her sentence.
Feng Xiyun clearly felt the Emperor’s displeased gaze.
She imdiately shut her mouth.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but it always seed that the Emperor’s attitude towards Ah Li was... unusual.
Of course, Feng Xiyun wouldn’t think too much into it.
She just assud that, like Little Wu, the Emperor admired Ah Li’s character.
But.
During this ti, she had worked so hard, yet neither the Emperor nor Little Wu had shown her such attention?!
Feng Xiyun harbored so feelings, biting her red lips, quietly following behind Xiao Jinxing.
Arriving at the County Magistrate’s Mansion.
The County Magistrate naturally had been waiting at the door and hurried forward upon seeing the Emperor return, "This humble servant welcos the Emperor."
After saluting, he noticed the Emperor was holding a man in his arms.
The County Magistrate quickly said, "Emperor, do you need to arrange another guest room for this gentleman?"
"No need." Xiao Jinxing said indifferently, "It’s late, County Magistrate, you should go to bed early; no need to wait for ."
"Yes, then I shall take my leave." The County Magistrate quickly obeyed.
After the County Magistrate left, Xiao Jinxing directly carried An Ning back to his room.
"Your Majesty, Ah Li is drunk and reeking of alcohol, sleeping in your room..." Feng Xiyun, always behind Xiao Jinxing, couldn’t help but speak when she saw the Emperor carrying Ah Li into his room.
"Doctor Feng, you should also go back to rest early." Xiao Jinxing made no explanations, directly giving orders.
Feng Xiyun bit her lip.
Suppressing the displeasure in her heart.
"Yes, then I shall take my leave." Feng Xiyun saluted.
She originally thought that today’s promise of the Emperor accompanying her would lead to further developnt, but unexpectedly, since leaving, the Emperor hadn’t given her much regard, except for just now when asking her to leave, he hadn’t voluntarily spoken a word to her.
"Wait." Xiao Jinxing suddenly called her.
Feng Xiyun’s heart trembled slightly.
Was the Emperor finally feeling guilty about being too cold to her?!
Feng Xiyun turned around, slightly bowing, and said, "Does the Emperor have any instructions for ?"
Her expression was full of shyness.
Feng Xiyun wasn’t particularly beautiful but had a pure and innocent charm.
At this mont, her deliberate display made her appear even more lively and enchanting.
She lowered her gaze, waiting for the Emperor to speak.
At that mont, she heard the Emperor’s indifferent voice say, "Brew so hangover dicine for ."
"..." Feng Xiyun looked at Xiao Jinxing.
She thought she heard wrong!
The Emperor actually asked her to brew hangover dicine for Ah Li?!
The Emperor actually asked for her, an Imperial Physician, to brew dicine for a re Jianghu Doctor?!
Under normal circumstances, she could benevolently help out of kindness.
But now, due to the Emperor’s special attention to Ah Li, she felt rather upset.
However, once the Emperor issued the order, he directly carried Ah Li into the room without needing her consent or caring about her feelings.
Feng Xiyun bit her lip, but returned to her room to write the prescription, then prepared the hangover dicine for Ah Li.
The more she brewed, the more uncomfortable she felt.
What did Ah Li have to deserve such favor from the Emperor?!
Finally, after so ti.
Feng Xiyun finished making the hangover soup.
She knocked and entered the Emperor’s room.
At this mont, Ah Li was already lying on the Emperor’s bed.
Due to being intoxicated, he was still in a deep sleep, his face was extrely flushed.
"Your Majesty, I’ve prepared the hangover soup for Ah Li." Feng Xiyun saluted respectfully, "Should I give it to Ah Li now?"
"Put it down." Xiao Jinxing gestured, "Doctor Feng can leave now."
"Ah Li will certainly feel uncomfortable after drinking; I wish to administer it before I leave." Feng Xiyun spoke up proactively.
While brewing, she thought, since the Emperor cared so much for Ah Li, she’d follow his preference.
Whatever the Emperor liked, she would like too.
Showing full intention of being good to Ah Li.
"I know how to feed her the dicine, don’t worry, you may leave." Xiao Jinxing’s voice was calm.
Feng Xiyun was unsettled again.
The Emperor was going to personally feed Ah Li the dicine?!
The Emperor, in his exalted position, was going to lower himself like this.
"Your Majesty, it is better for to administer the dicine to Ah Li; you, being of noble stature, shouldn’t personally tend to a commoner..."
Xiao Jinxing gave her a look.
Feng Xiyun bit her lip.
Lately, it felt like the Emperor was becoming more... dismissive, more harsh toward her.
She didn’t dare anger the Emperor, so she saluted, "Then I shall leave you to it, Your Majesty."
Feng Xiyun left, gently closing the door behind them.
The mont she closed the door, Feng Xiyun wished she could scream!
What on earth did Ah Li have that warranted such treatnt from the Emperor?!
When she had caught the plague and was in a coma, she didn’t feel like the Emperor cared as much for her!
He even made Du Juan give her dicine mouth-to-mouth...
Thinking of it made Feng Xiyun’s stomach churn.
She feared she’d never get over this shadow in her life!
