No one knew what kind of condition Jin Xiaoyi's body was in. However, she was infected by the plague, so no one dared to be careless.
There was a rumor that the Emperor liked men in the Heavenly Awakening Empire. Although the Southern County was remote, it had also heard similar rumors. Thus, when the magistrate saw that the emperor was personally holding Jin Xiaoyi in his arms, he jumped in fright. He even wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes.
How could the emperor hold a woman? Moreover, this woman was infected with the plague.
Just as he stepped into the county magistrate court, the emperor coldly ordered, "Quick, find a separate courtyard and temporarily isolate the courtyard so that Lady Jin can live inside. And take good care of this young master and this child. I must get someone to disinfect them completely, the plague must not spread anymore! "
The County Magistrate didn't dare delay and immediately sent people to prepare the orders.
It was already the next day when Jin Xiaosi woke up. She clearly remembered that she had fainted earlier, but she did not know the reason behind it. When she saw the emperor leaning against the bed, she couldn't help but jump in fright.
"Your majesty!"
Jin Xiaoye struggled to get up and prepare to pay his respects to the emperor. The emperor stopped Jin Xiaoyi. When the emperor held onto Jin Xiaoyi, he was shocked to find that the black gas that had been on Jin Xiaoyi's face had already disappeared.
"Miss Jin, you …"
Looking at the emperor's surprised expression, Jin Xiaouyi couldn't understand. Had something happened to him?
The Emperor sent for a doctor to examine her, and the result was that the infective plague had already been cured. The doctor looked scared to see anything new. The plague could also heal without taking any medicine. This was something he had never heard of before.
However, in order to confirm once again, the emperor ordered the doctor to examine Jin Xiaoyi once again. The doctor examined Jin Xiaoyi in detail again. It was indeed impossible to find any signs of plague on him. It was only at this moment that the emperor's heart finally relaxed.
After everyone left, the emperor hugged Jin Xiaoyi, looking a bit excited. This sudden action gave Jin Xiaoyi a scare. Her eyes widened and her body stiffened, allowing the emperor to hold her in his arms.
The beautiful man should have been very happy to give her a hug, but this person was the emperor. Jin Xiaoyi had always felt that something wasn't right.
"Huang …" Your Majesty … What exactly is going on? "
The emperor let go of Jin Xiaoyi and told him the whole story.
"What? I'm infected with the plague?"
"Yes, but you are recovered now. You recovered without taking any medicine, so this part-time job is a miracle. It seems like the heavens do not want you to leave me. "
The emperor couldn't help but say these words, while Jin Xiaoyi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Although the Emperor was a beautiful man, he had very little contact with the Emperor. Aside from the day she lost control of herself, there was also the fact that she had always been right behind him recently. In the eyes of an outsider, she was at most a follower who had come to deliver himself to the door. However, the hug just now and these kind words made her very confused.
Your Majesty, what exactly does that mean?
"Your majesty, what did you just say?"
The Emperor realized that he had said something wrong, and his expression slightly faded, once again concealing his emotions. After a long while, he replied, "Lady Jin has helped me a lot. I know Lady Jin doesn't have enough medicinal ingredients, so I'm very worried that she might lose her life to help me. Then I'll be guilty of a heinous crime."
Jin Xiaoyi looked suspiciously at the emperor. Did the Emperor really think so? Just now, she had clearly seen the scorching look in his eyes that came from a man towards a woman.
She didn't understand, she didn't have much contact with the emperor, and the emperor had always been cold and cheerless. It was as if ever since she lost control and cried in his arms at the Tzu En Temple, the way the emperor looked at her gradually changed.
"Your majesty, did I really catch a plague?"
Jin Xiaoyi looked left and right, but didn't notice anything wrong with his body.
She knew about the Black Death. In ancient times, this was a very powerful plague. The death rate of this plague was very high. How could she heal it without taking any medicine?
A hazy image appeared in Jin Xiao Ai's mind. Last night, her body felt really uncomfortable, but then something slipped into her throat, and then she gradually felt less uncomfortable. Later, when she woke up, she actually felt completely relaxed.
This was too strange.
"Mom, Mom."
The little girl had also woken up. When he heard that his mother was fine, he was very happy as well. However, Jin Xiaoyi quickly discovered that the problem was that Feng Liancheng was not in the crowd.
"Little girl, where is your Uncle Feng?"
"Oh, is he not here? He was guarding the door all night last night?"
Stayed an entire night?
That Smothering Gourd who didn't like to talk had been guarding her for an entire night outside the door? Jin Xiao Ai felt that it was a bit inconceivable.
However, the County Magistrate's words confirmed that what the little girl said was not false.
"Miss Jin, Young Noble Feng did indeed stay here for the night. However, he was here just a moment ago. Why is he suddenly gone?"
The county magistrate looked around but he did not see any Feng Liancheng in the crowd.
"Miss Jin, although you are well, I am still worried. This afternoon, the imperial doctors will bring the medicinal ingredients from the capital to the Southern County. I will let the imperial doctors take a look when the time comes." If Miss Jin is really fine, then I can let go of my worries. "
Jin Xiao Ai looked at the emperor. She wasn't used to the way he was talking about now. He was clearly very gentle just now. But in the blink of an eye, that gentleness disappeared.
However, Jin Xiaoyi did not mind. Right now, she only felt a constant surge of power coming out of her body. Not only did she not feel sick, but she also felt that her body was especially strong. What was going on?
It had been a long time since she'd had a proper meal. Seeing that she was perfectly healthy, the emperor ordered the magistrate to prepare some light and tasty food for her.
Now that basically everyone who was still alive had some food to help them, the problem of eating had finally been solved. The next step was to completely control the plague. The emperor may have to stay in the Southern County for a while. However, he hoped that Jin Xiaoyi would return first. After all, Jin Xiao Ai was a woman, it was not good to always stay outside.
"Little girl, go find your Uncle Feng, see where he is. I can't finish all these things by myself, so he definitely hasn't eaten either. " Only after giving his orders did Jin Xiaoyi turn around and invite the emperor to join them.
The black-robed guard had a cold expression the entire time. When he heard that the emperor wanted to eat at the same table as her, his expression turned even uglier.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot. "Although Miss Jin seems to have already recovered, this is too strange. If Miss Jin were to spread the plague to the Emperor, then my Heavenly Imperial Family might …"
Before the guard could finish, the emperor cut her off.
"Wu Yuan, I know what I'm doing. You don't have the right to speak here."
Just a moment ago, when Jin Xiaoxiao had told Little Sister to find Feng Liancheng and have a meal together, there had been some unpleasantness in his heart. However, after hearing that Jin Xiaoluo would also let him eat with her, he felt slightly happier in his heart.
He had a secret in his heart, a big one. For the time being, he did not want Jin Xiao Ai to know about this secret. One day, when he was done, he would personally tell her.
Only the heavens knew how happy he was when he saw Jin Xiaoxi in the Southern County.
So it turned out that this little woman had really run into his heart.
While everyone was waiting for Feng Liancheng to appear, the little girl had also returned. He was running very quickly and his face was filled with panic.
"Mother, something bad happened, Uncle Feng …" Uncle Feng fainted. "
"Mother, something bad happened, Uncle Feng …" Uncle Feng fainted. "
Hearing this news, Jin Xiaoyi's body slightly stiffened. She reacted and immediately called for her to bring her to have a look.
The people here didn't know Feng Liancheng's identity, but she and her little girl knew about it.
She was a Vermillion Bird Divine Beast, so how could she faint?
"Little girl, let's go take a look."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I need to go see my subordinates."
The emperor's lips slightly pursed, his face showing no emotions.
Slightly nodding his head, Jin Xiaosi left with her child, but the emperor didn't give chase. The guard standing by the side, Xiao Yuan, spoke up.
"Your majesty, why didn't you stop him?"
"Don't be meddlesome, the most important thing right now is to deal with the floods in the south as soon as possible. The shadow guards that were sent out haven't come back yet? " The emperor frowned. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Those shadow guards would never come back for some reason until now, but this time, they still hadn't come back to report. This gave him a bad premonition.
"Xiao Yuan, send some people to scout for more information about those shadow guards. This time, you must be careful."
He had always believed that the shadow guards beside him were the most powerful guards in the entire Heavenly Imperial Kingdom. These people had grown up by his side, and he knew of their martial skills. However, none of the shadow guards he sent out had any news at all. This meant that they had truly met a very powerful opponent.
Could it be that person?
In his mind, he recalled the image of someone who had always been against him. Although it seemed like the two of them were friendly on the surface, they both knew how the other person saw them from behind the scenes.
"Your majesty, this time I'll definitely be careful."
Although he said so, Wu Yuan was not sure. Seeing so many shadow guards without any news, he already knew how powerful the other side was.
It seemed that they had underestimated their opponent.
As Wu Yuan spoke, he raised his head to look at the emperor, but the emperor seemed to be absent-minded.
"Your Majesty …"
There was no response from the Emperor. "So, he called out again." "Your Majesty …"
This time, there was finally a reaction. The emperor turned his head to look at him and indifferently said, "That's enough, I'll leave this matter to you to handle." I will go and see Lady Jin. "
Wu Yuan sighed faintly. He thought that the emperor could really restrain himself from going to see Jin Xiaoyi, but in the end, he couldn't help himself.
Just what kind of magic did this Jin Xiaoyi possess to cause the emperor to be so absent-minded for her sake?
By the time Wu Yuan reacted, the emperor was already far away.
Although Jin Xiao Ai couldn't remember the scene in her mind, she felt that the aura last night belonged to Feng Lian Cheng.
Of course, he could only ask Feng Liancheng if it was true.
Feng Lian City also lived in this small courtyard. However, due to the lack of repair, some of the rooms in this county could no longer be accommodated. The best courtyard had already been distributed to the Emperor and his men. This courtyard was rather dilapidated. Perhaps it was because of Jin Xiaoluo's infection that the county magistrate didn't want him to live in the house, but there was nothing he could do. His Majesty had said so, so he didn't dare act rashly.
