Chapter 047: Peace of Mind
Meng Jian looked down at the person blocking his way, and it was Pei Xueqiao.
He was very perceptive and immediately sensed a hint of hostility from the other party.
Where did this hostility come from? Looking at the maids who were about to disappear at the end of his sight, Meng Jian suddenly understood, and then thought of the rumor in the capital...
No way, this drug really caused feelings?
“Master Xiao Pei, I naturally know that is the backyard.
But the princess is not in the county government office right now, so I need to arrange for the imperial guards to escort her."
Pei Xueqi regretted the moment he asked the question.
He didn't know why he was so reckless, or perhaps he subconsciously refused to delve into it.
Yes, he is the commander of the imperial guards and should be responsible for the night defense rotation arrangements. What reason does he have to question it?
But "Little Lord Pei" sounds a bit harsh, so just call him Lord Pei, or you can just call him by his name.
The word "small" made Pei Xueqi think of some unpleasant words: "weak as a chicken", "a piece of abdominal muscle" and so on.
Because he was unreasonable, the talented and quick-witted top scholar was speechless for a moment, and the two of them were left facing each other in silence.
Meng Jian didn't have time to waste. Who knew if the mysterious man would visit the county government office at night?
So he clasped his fists, walked around him and headed straight for the backyard.
"temple……"
Tao Yao had just uttered a word when Mo Yi flashed forward and covered her mouth.
He made a silent gesture and whispered in her ear, "Her Highness is fine, she just fell asleep because she was sleepy. Don't wake her."
Tao Yao was startled. It was pitch dark and Mo Yi appeared in front of her like a ghost.
Fortunately, he felt a clear warmth from the hand covering his mouth, and coupled with her words, he finally calmed down and blinked his eyes to show that he understood.
After taking his hand away, Tao Yao immediately took small steps to lead the way.
After arriving in Mingyan County, the princess did not rest in the county government office, and was not taken to the treatment area.
As a diligent maid, she had already cleaned the room prepared for the princess inside and out.
Gently pushing open the door, Suimo carried Qin Zhaoyue directly to the bed.
Taoyao knew that the princess had changed her habits and no longer liked hard pillows, so the soft pillow she brought from the capital was placed on her bed.
As soon as Qin Zhaoyue's head touched the pillow, he smacked his lips twice, curled up and fell into a deeper sleep.
Everyone who witnessed this scene laughed silently. The princess looked like a child when she slept.
Taoyao helped take off her shoes and socks and smelled the princess's scent from close range.
It was the smell of a mixture of medicine and sweat. His face suddenly turned bitter and he turned to look at Sui Mo.
Sui Mo understood what she meant. After sweating so much, it would be too sloppy to go to bed without washing up.
But the princess has consumed too much of her energy in this day and night. If she is forcibly awakened, the disadvantages will far outweigh the advantages.
She shook her head, and Taoyao didn't dare to say anything. Everyone left the house quietly.
"Beautiful sister..."
Ping'an had already fallen asleep. When he heard the noise, he hurried out, but he only saw the door closing.
Although the backyard was the women's residence, no one would be on guard against the child because his house was right next to the princess's.
Sui Mo walked closer and looked up at him. Ping An didn't hide his emotions, and now the word "concern" seemed to be engraved on his face, and he kept looking into the closed door.
The environment in the treatment area was complicated, so Qin Zhaoyue did not bring him with her. The child was very worried when he didn't see him for a day.
Patting his strong arm, Sui Mo patiently explained to him:
"Pretty sister fell asleep due to playing around. Let's not wake her up, okay?"
Ping'an immediately pursed his lips tightly, as if he was afraid of waking up his beautiful sister by making a sound.
"Be good, go to bed too. You'll be able to see her when you wake up tomorrow morning."
The child's eyes suddenly lit up, his eyebrows raised with uncontrollable joy, and he nodded rapidly.
He didn't make any noise, but walked back to his room and closed the door quietly.
Just as he was settling in, Meng Jian happened to come over.
"Commander Meng."
"Miss Broken Ink."
The two of them politely discussed the arrangements for the night shift, but actually they communicated secretly through voice transmission.
Meng Jian said, "I can only rest in the county government office for one night. I must rush to the barrier lake tomorrow morning."
Sui Mo understood what he meant.
The way back to the county government office was a perfect opportunity to take action, but the other party did not show up, but this does not mean that the princess is safe.
If she, a fifth-rank guard, was the only one by her side, her safety couldn't be guaranteed. After all, she couldn't stay awake all the time, so having Meng Jian take over would make things easier. But he was the commander of the Imperial Guard, not the Sixth Princess's personal guard, so being able to stay up an extra half night was already a gesture of goodwill.
No matter what the reason was, safety was the top priority at the moment. Sui Mo's attitude changed drastically, and he silently accepted the kindness on behalf of the princess.
"Thank you, Commander Meng. May I know what time we will set off tomorrow morning?"
Meng Jian was slightly startled, "No later than 12:00 AM."
Sui Mo clasped his fists and agreed with her to guard the second half of the night. He also arranged for his men to be divided into two groups to take turns, and then simply turned around to wash up.
She sweated a lot throughout the day and night, and her body felt sticky and uncomfortable.
——————
In the intensive care unit, most of the surviving patients have already gone to bed.
Jiang Qingpu took a rare bath with the help of the doctor, but he still did not leave this place.
He changed into a clean mat in the side room and lay down. He had been holding on for too long, and as soon as his mind relaxed, he became extremely sleepy and soon began to snore loudly.
The young man under the eaves had drunk a decoction before and was feeling drowsy when he suddenly felt an itchy sensation in his ears and slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, are you okay?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Xuan curled his lips in disdain.
He still thought, "Are you okay?" If he hadn't met the Sixth Princess, he might have already gone to hell and drunk half a bowl of Mengpo soup.
The doctor next to Uncle Gong is at most similar to Old Jiang. Even if we find him, he will probably be just that good.
Thinking this way, I seem to be quite lucky.
"It's okay, I won't die." He murmured softly, but "Chansi" could definitely hear it clearly.
"This subordinate deserves death. Take the young master away now."
"Don't," Li Xuan quickly rejected it. "The county is full of imperial guards, they're just guarding in secret. They won't stay long."
"Yes! Dawn and I will stay by your side."
The guards finally found him. Uncle Gong was reliable this time. After sending these two people, Li Xuan felt completely relieved.
He was originally playing near the tea mountain, but who would have thought that the flood that broke the dam would wash away the tea mountain and form a mud dragon.
Amidst the natural disaster, the guards around him desperately found a cave for him to hide in. He managed to escape the first wave of impact, but was still trapped inside.
He was waiting for rescue alone. He was so hungry that he could only drink water to fill his stomach, which is how he got poisoned by the tea alkaloid.
Later, the mud dragon stopped and the county organized a rescue operation, only to find that he had developed a serious condition.
Because all the guards around him died, he temporarily lost contact with Uncle Gong and was placed in a centralized treatment area.
Now that most of the poison in his body has been eliminated, the guards came looking for him again.
Li Xuan turned over and soon fell into a deep sleep.
No one noticed that there was a veiled woman outside the courtyard wall.
The night wind blew by, and the next moment it disappeared...
