Thinking about it, Mo Yunzhao stared at Long Ye, his handsome little face still quite youthful.

Although he hadn't fully matured, his demeanor already resembled that of someone who would later appear.

But then I thought, the age doesn't seem to match up?

This encounter took place several years earlier.

Seeing that Mo Yunzhao kept looking at Long Ye, Ling Jingyu said calmly, "Ah Zhao, it's late. Go take a bath and rest. You have to get up and work tomorrow."

Mo Yunzhao didn't think much of it, just hummed in agreement and started by untying the red string around his wrist.

After she left.

Ling Jingyu stared at Long Ye and asked, "Why are you following A-Zhao?"

Long Ye blinked innocently, but said earnestly, "The demoness saved me, and I like her."

Ling Jingyu reached out and ruffled his hair. "Then you have to protect her."

When Mo Yunzhao came out after taking a bath, Long Ye was already gone.

Ling Jingyu beckoned to her, and when she came over, he picked up the red string and tied it around her wrist.

"Qi and Blood Pill." He handed her a white porcelain bottle. "Take one pill in the morning, noon, and night to replenish qi and blood."

Mo Yunzhao took it, poured out one, smelled it, and put it in his mouth. "It smells quite good."

After finishing his meal, he nodded and said, "Hmm, it's not bitter."

After she fell asleep, Ling Jingyu untied the red string from her wrist.

He stayed outside the room, guarding the door, and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Mo Yunzhao woke up to find no blankets or anything on the floor, and no sign of Ling Jingyu.

She tugged at the red string on her wrist and saw that the other end of the string was placed on the bedside table.

Hearing the noise, Fu Liu came in carrying a copper basin and toiletries.

Where is His Highness?

"His Highness went out before dawn. The epidemic in the village is serious now, and His Highness dares not rest too much. It was only after you came that His Highness slept for three hours. Before you came, he only rested for two hours."

As Fu Liu spoke, she handed her some simple clothes, saying, "This is what Nie You said."

Mo Yunzhao looked up at the sky outside. It was just getting light, and because they were in the countryside, it was still shrouded in mist.

She thought this was early, but he was even earlier.

Fu Liu helped her wash up, saying, "Your Highness slept outside last night, so I wouldn't dare tarnish your reputation."

Mo Yunzhao raised an eyebrow. Now he knows that she, a woman, cares about her reputation?

After washing up and quickly eating breakfast, I put on my mask, picked up the food box that Fu Liu had prepared, and went to find Ling Jingyu.

When she arrived, Ling Jingyu was kneeling on one knee, taking the pulse of an old man and using the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.

Even through the mask, one could almost see his gentle expression.

The old man had many abscesses on his body. While talking, he used a needle to help pick at the abscesses, then squeezed out the pus himself, and applied medicine.

"Your Highness," Mo Yunzhao called out.

Ling Jingyu looked up at her and saw that she was carrying a food box.

He wasn't polite at all. "Ah Zhao, I've already eaten. You can share some with the children, and then come help me."

Mo Yunzhao nodded and said okay, then picked up the food box and went to the group of children.

Mo Bilian was also busy in the crowd. When Mo Yunzhao arrived, she pricked up her ears and kept an eye on him out of the corner of her eye.

At this moment, seeing that Ling Jingyu only glanced at Mo Yunzhao and did not eat the food Mo Yunzhao brought, she lowered her head and curled her lips.

Even His Highness the Crown Prince is no different from Mo Yunzhao.

She received the same treatment as yesterday.

When Mo Yunzhao arrived at the group of children, Long Ye was playing rock-paper-scissors with them.

These children all have patches on their bodies, and some can no longer walk, but their faces are full of smiles, innocent and carefree.

When Long Ye saw Mo Yunzhao, he quickly called the children to call her "Demoness Sister," and they surrounded her, sweetly calling her "Demoness Sister."
