The boy was slightly taken aback, and quickly wiped the tears off his face with his wet sleeve.

But the result...

The tears hadn't dried; instead, her face became even wetter.

He was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground. He forced a stiff smile at Sheng Lingwei and replied in a choked voice, "Your Highness, my name is Ji Qiao, and my brother's name is Ji Yi."

Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered slightly. "Yes, get up! I promise to heal your brother for you."

"Really?"

Ji Qiao's eyes lit up instantly, and her pale face flushed with excitement. "Thank you, Princess Chang Le. I am deeply grateful."

Sheng Lingwei nodded, took out a pill from her sleeve and fed it to Ji Yi, then used her wood-type ability to repair his body.

It was visible to the naked eye that Ji Yi's complexion changed from pale to rosy.

Ji Qiao covered his mouth excitedly, afraid of disturbing the princess's treatment of his brother.

Fifteen minutes later.

Ji Yi slowly opened his eyes. When he keenly sensed the softness on his wrist, his expression changed, and his sharp, dangerous gaze shot straight at Sheng Lingwei.

But when he saw Sheng Lingwei's face clearly, his pupils dilated instantly, and his heart was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

He opened his mouth and tentatively called out in a hoarse voice, "Boss?"

Sheng Lingwei chuckled and hummed in agreement, withdrawing her hand from which she had been channeling her powers. She teased, "What? Were you trying to attack me just now?"

Ji Yi hurriedly sat up and explained, "No, no, no, it's not that. I'm not used to being touched by others, so I have a stress reaction."

"Alright! I'll forgive you for now."

Ji Yi smiled and clasped his hands in a gesture of flattery, "Thank you for your kindness, boss. I knew my boss was the most magnanimous person in the world."

Sheng Lingwei rolled her eyes at him. "Stop flattering me. I haven't even asked you yet. You clearly know I'm in Xianyang County, so why didn't you come looking for me? If I hadn't run into you, were you planning to avoid me for the rest of your life?"

"Boss, you've really wronged me."

Ji Yi said with a pained expression, "Before this, I had no memory of anything from before. If my head hadn't been smashed open, I probably still wouldn't be able to remember anything now."

"Boss, I really didn't mean to, and I don't know why I lost my memories."

As he spoke, Ji Yi spread his hands and said, "Sigh, I didn't want this either. If we had our past memories, my brother and I wouldn't have had such a hard life."

Sheng Lingwei sighed. She knew this was how it was. If her younger brothers and sisters found out about her, they would definitely come to find her immediately.

Fortunately, she took the initiative to find Ji Yi.

Given the severity of his injuries, he would have died sooner or later if he hadn't received timely treatment or if there hadn't been any medicine.

Looking at Ji Yi, who was standing in front of her with his head down and looking at her with a pitiful expression, Sheng Lingwei smiled helplessly and reached out to pat his shoulder.

"Okay, okay, stop looking so upset. I was just teasing you. I didn't really mean to argue with you about this."

Ji Yi's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Boss, I knew you were reasonable, magnanimous, and the best person in the world."

"Wait a minute!" Ji Qiao looked completely bewildered, glancing at her brother and then at Sheng Lingwei. "Princess Chang Le, you and my brother knew each other before? Why didn't I know?"

Sheng Lingwei smiled without saying a word. There were some things she could say, but some things she couldn't. She gave Ji Yi a look.

Ji Yi stood up and patted Ji Qiao on the shoulder. "Little brother, there are many things you don't know. Your brother has to have some secrets of his own, right?"

Ji Qiao pouted, looking aggrieved, and gazed at Ji Yi with accusing eyes.

“But brother, we’ve relied on each other since we were little. Even though you’re four years older than me, I know when you wet the bed, and when…”

"Mommy, my little darling, please stop, please stop!" Ji Yi was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground. He quickly covered Ji Qiao's mouth and pleaded in a low voice, "Brother, please, can you give me some face?"

How could you say these things in front of the boss?

Doesn't this make him feel utterly ashamed?

Ji Qiao shrugged helplessly and gestured with his eyes for Ji Yi to let go, indicating that he wouldn't expose Ji Yi's shortcomings anymore. Ji Yi was the most considerate younger brother in the world!

Ji Yi gave Ji Qiao a warning look before releasing his hand from Ji Qiao's mouth, forcing a smile and looking at Sheng Lingwei with an embarrassed expression.

"Big brother, just ignore what my brother said and let it go in one ear and out the other. I assure you, I never wet the bed when I was a kid."

"Pfft..."

Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but laugh. "Ji Yi, you're just admitting it without being asked. It would have been better if you had just kept quiet. At least you wouldn't have made a bad impression on me."

Ji Qiao glanced at Ji Yi with a grin, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Ji Yi: ...At this moment, he died.

"Boss~~"

Sheng Lingwei was just joking, and of course she wouldn't let her good brother continue to feel awkward. "Alright, let's put this behind us and not bring it up again. The most important thing right now is to settle the people of Gancao County."

When it comes to serious matters, Ji Yi immediately transforms into a serious county magistrate, looking quite dignified.

"The boss is right. I didn't expect this flood to come so quickly and catch me off guard. I did prepare relief supplies, but I didn't have time to put them in a safe place."

Right now, the most urgent task is to rescue the people trapped in the flood, then provide them with medical treatment, followed by supplies such as medicine and food.

But Gancao County was instantly destroyed and submerged by the flood, leaving nothing behind, which is my biggest headache.

Ji Qiao hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Brother, while you were unconscious, the princess descended to earth like a goddess, standing in mid-air and using her magical powers to rescue all the people here."

Furthermore, the princess has already instructed four doctors to treat the drowning victims. You can now breathe a sigh of relief; most of the people are safe and sound, except for a small number of them…”

Ji Qiao didn't say what came next; the topic of life and death was too heavy.

Especially for those who have lost family members, this is a time of grief and sorrow, and he cannot add fuel to the fire.

Ji Yi understood immediately and let out a heavy sigh.

Having no memories of his past life, his lifelong wish was to become a just and upright official who could stand up for the people.

The main reason is that parents in this world die unjustly because they have no power or influence and cannot seek justice for themselves.

How pathetic, how lamentable, how hateful!

He did not want to see more people die unjustly like his parents, so he worked hard and was determined to become an upright and selfless good official.

Unfortunately, fate did not favor him.

She and her younger brother depended on each other for survival from a young age, becoming orphans with no one to rely on, and had to find ways to earn money to support their family.

After years of hard work, I finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, but unfortunately I had no money or connections.

Because of his overly upright nature and unwillingness to curry favor with those in power, he offended a high-ranking official in the capital and was demoted to a minor county magistrate position in the remote Gancao County.
