Chapter 187 He Doesn't Believe Her
Qiu Zongping shook his head. He never had the habit of prying into other people's privacy.
Especially for people he finds annoying, even just looking at them is too much, let alone paying attention to them.
Xu Xiao: "I do vaguely remember it. After all, I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen such an ugly kite. I thought it was the latest trend in Beijing."
He smiled shyly, "It was mainly because the two girls had met for the first time and found it quite curious. They talked about it a little more at the dinner table, and Xu took a few more glances at them."
He thought about it carefully and said, "On the second day after arriving at the border town, Princess Shihan must have flown the kite."
Mo Jinchuan asked calmly, "Is there any pattern?"
He already understood why Song Yanxi cared about that kite at this time.
"A pattern?" Xu Xiao frowned. "That kite looked huge and heavy. Princess Shihan called several people over to help. They tried many times to get the kite to hang high in the sky. It seemed like it had never been put down since it was launched."
Could it be that she was really overthinking it?
Song Yanxi was just thinking about it when she heard Xu Xiao say, "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll have someone take the kite down."
“No need.”
"No."
Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi spoke at the same time.
The two looked into each other's eyes, and in an instant they understood each other.
Xu Xiao couldn't help but cough lightly and said, "For the past few days, I have been following the prince's instructions and having my men take turns guarding Princess Shihan and General Lin's residences for twelve hours. There has been no abnormality."
Mo Jinchuan's eyebrows moved slightly.
When was the order given? How could I not know it?
Catching a flash of guilt in someone's eyes, Mo Jinchuan thought of something and curled his lips and said, "Well done."
Listening to his double-entendre words, Song Yanxi felt as if the tips of her ears were burning.
He clearly did it on purpose.
But what she did was indeed not fair. She took advantage of the man's unconsciousness and used his subordinates in his name. Even the most good-tempered person would be angry, right?
Sensing the somewhat subtle atmosphere between the two, Xu Xiao spoke before Qiu Zongping realized something was wrong: "The news of the prince's assassination has been released. The city gates will be closed in half an hour. The public announcement is that the prince's assassin has not yet been caught.
Although the people are indignant, they are currently relatively calm."
"We'll arrange for several more groups of people to deliver letters back to the capital. In addition to the normal 800-mile express delivery, we'll also send more people by land and water.
In addition, we sent people to other towns overnight to collect grain and store it for emergency use."
After Mo Jinchuan finished speaking, Song Yanxi hurriedly added: "Uncle Xu, it is best if the person who goes out to deliver the letter and borrow food is a soldier who has never been to the city. When he leaves, he should take dry food with him and avoid people along the way."
In this way, the probability of sending the letter back to Beijing can be increased, and these people can be prevented from bringing the epidemic along the way.
If they are unfortunately infected, their bodies will not appear in crowded places, and the subsequent impact will be smaller.
Xu Xiao nodded heavily and said, "I'll go down and give the orders right away."
He turned to leave, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Song Yanxi and said, "If it's not something urgent, the princess will be sent out of the mansion these days. It's not peaceful outside."
Song Yanxi frowned slightly and asked, "Uncle Xu, do you want me to be a coward?"
Xu Xiao was stunned and blurted out, "Girl, how can you speak so harshly to yourself?"
He sighed and explained, "Military Doctor Xu and Princess Shihan are already treating those with milder symptoms. While their medical skills may not be the pinnacle, they are both competent."
He didn't continue with the rest of the words, but Song Yanxi understood.
She said directly, "I am a disciple of the Master of the Divine Doctor Valley. Uncle Xu, don't worry that I will cause trouble for Old Liu and the others."
"Are you also a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley?" Qiu Zongping asked with a serious face.
It was understandable that he didn't believe her.
After all, the Divine Doctor Valley has been secluded from the world for many years, and few people have seen its people. There are even rumors that the Divine Doctor Valley has actually ceased to exist many years ago.
Although Xu Xiao didn't say anything, his helpless expression said it all.
Guessing that Zhuang Shihan must be using the name of a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley again, Song Yanxi looked at Mo Jinchuan with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
As long as he opens his mouth, they will definitely choose to believe her.
Although she has not yet found a way to cure the epidemic, she can use silver needles and medicine to temporarily save the lives of those infected with the epidemic.
As long as you are still alive, it is only a matter of time before you develop a cure.
But if she couldn't even leave the general's mansion, all this would be empty talk.
Xu Xiao and Qiu Zongping also looked at Mo Jinchuan, but the answer they wanted to hear was completely opposite to Song Yanxi's.
Selfishly speaking, they both would rather Song Yanxi stayed in the general's mansion to take care of Mo Jinchuan.
With her medical skills, she could definitely ensure that the two of them would not be infected with the epidemic and would survive safely to the end.
Mo Jinchuan's thin lips moved slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "She is indeed a disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley."
"Your Highness!" Both of their expressions changed.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Mo Jinchuan said with a sullen face, "If I hear anyone dare to abandon the people of the border town again, I will treat them as deserters."
"Yes!" Xu Xiao saluted him respectfully and retreated silently.
Qiu Zongping refused and stood there stubbornly without moving.
Knowing that he would not give up until he saw the coffin, Mo Jinchuan said coldly: "Since you are so determined to atone for your sins, I will give you a chance.
Take your soldiers and guard the city gates. Don't let even a fly escape until the plague is under control."
"Your Majesty..."
"Why, this king no longer has any use for you?"
"I dare not!"
Qiu Zongping gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "The two princesses and several military doctors have been assigned to treat the civilians. Who will stay in the general's mansion to take care of the prince?"
Mo Jinchuan looked at him and asked instead of answering, "Who told you that I would stay in the General's Mansion?"
"What does your Highness mean?"
"Literally."
Qiu Zongping's expression turned ugly in an instant.
Song Yanxi stood aside, wanting to say something but stopping herself, her face also looking very gloomy and ugly.
Fortunately, she had just thanked him for speaking up for her, but after all this fuss, it turned out that he was just helping himself.
Thinking of the injury on his shoulder, Song Yanxi said with a cold face: "Your Highness needs to rest and recuperate."
Mo Jinchuan raised his eyelids and looked at her with a calm expression, "In that case, I will listen to the doctor."
Although he looked easy to talk to, Song Yanxi and Qiu Zongping were not happy at all.
They know Mo Jinchuan too well.
As expected, the next moment he said, "Then Miss Song will have to stay at the General's Mansion to take care of me."
Qiu Zongping breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to Song Yanxi, saying respectfully, "Miss Song, please stay at the General's Mansion and take care of the prince on our behalf."
He paused, lowered his voice and said, "Miss, please accept this favor, considering that the prince risked his life to save you."
