"What is it?" Nangong Ao once again returned to his usual indifference, the fire in his eyes had already completely extinguished.
The corner of Jin Xiaoyi's mouth stiffened as he stared blankly at her.
That irritable man from before seemed to have never appeared before, and the person in front of him was still that cold Emperor.
"Your majesty, since the imperial physician is here, can we have the imperial physician take a look at Lian Cheng? No matter what, he's only feeling unwell because of me. I don't know if his body …"
Before Jin Xiao Ai could say anything, she swallowed her words back.
Anger appeared on the face of the indifferent Sovereign King once again. Although he tried his best to hide his anger, Jin Xiaoyi still felt that the surrounding air was filled with rage.
What did she say wrong?
"Please ask the imperial physician to show it to Young Master Feng."
Saying that, Nangong Ao waved his sleeves and left. Before she left, Jin Xiaoye noticed that Wu Yuan, the guard beside her, was giving her a cold glare as well.
Was it an illusion?
What was going on? She hadn't done anything, so why did it seem like she had done something extraordinary?
In the end, Nangong Ao had sent the imperial physician to visit Feng Liancheng.
Currently, the plague had not completely vanished. If Feng Liancheng was infected with it, it would be troublesome.
"Your majesty, we can't stay in the Southern County any longer. It has already exceeded our expectations by half a month. King An already has matters of the court in his hands. If we don't return, I'm afraid we won't be able to turn back."
Xiao Yuan received an urgent message from the video guard this morning.
Nangong Ao knit his brows, so King An really did make a move?
"Pack your things and prepare to return to the capital. Leave this place to Sir Qin. If the plague cannot be cured and I can hear any complaints, then I can forgo his head. "
Nangong Ao's cold expression made Xiao Yuan not dare to act rashly. He quickly went to do his work.
After Xiao Yuan left, Nangong's cold gaze shifted to the direction where Jin Xiaoyi had left. The strength in his hand could not help but increase.
Once the matters in the capital were resolved, he would definitely tie her up and bring her to the Imperial Palace.
There had never been a woman that touched his heart like this before. Even though he was still searching for the girl who stole the dragon seed five years ago, and there was still no news of her now, he unexpectedly got to know her.
This little woman was really special.
Nangong Ao's black eyes slowly closed, his pair of long and narrow eyes revealed traces of danger.
The distant Jin Xiao Ei naturally didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. She followed the young eunuch to find a doctor, and then brought him to Feng Liancheng's room.
The imperial physician checked Feng Liancheng's pulse as his expression became more and more strange.
"How could this be …"
"Imperial Physician, what's wrong?" Jin Xiaoyi was puzzled.
"He … He … He has no pulse. " Even if the imperial physician were to say this, he would not believe it. He had never seen such a strange thing in his life as a physician. The person in front of him was clearly alive, even though his body looked weak. However, he couldn't find his pulse just now. It's impossible, it's unreasonable.
"No pulse?" Jin Xiaoyi tilted his head to look at Feng Liancheng. There seemed to be some unspeakable secrets hidden in the depths of Feng Liancheng's eyes; Jin Xiaoyi knew that this might be related to some secrets. Thus, she did not ask Feng Liancheng on the spot but asked the imperial physician first.
"Imperial Physician, I must ask Imperial Physician to not mention today's matter to anyone."
The imperial physician naturally knew what Jin Xiao Ai meant, but he couldn't figure out why there were people who didn't have a pulse even though they were alive.
However, this was not necessarily a good thing for the imperial physician. After all, as an imperial physician, he was originally the most skilled person in the Heavenly Imperial Kingdom's medicine. However, that person was clearly a living person, yet he couldn't feel his pulse. If people knew about this, he would probably be unable to sit still in his position as an imperial physician.
After the imperial physician left, the only people left in the room were Jin Xiaoyi, Feng Liancheng and the little girl.
"Little girl, remember not to speak carelessly about what happened today."
"Mother, I think you should be worried about your own mouth. I'm not talking nonsense. "
If others were to find out about Feng Liancheng's identity, Feng Liancheng would probably be treated as a monster. His body was currently so weak that if he were to be surrounded by a large number of people, the situation would probably become even worse.
"Alright, just remember what mother said." Mother is also not as ignorant as you think. "
Jin Xiao Ai rolled her eyes. This little guy was just like that, always seizing the opportunity to embarrass her. However, right now, the situation was far more serious than she had expected, so she couldn't say much. He had to figure out how to make Feng Liancheng's body recover first.
"Lian Cheng, why is your body like this? How come you don't have a pulse?"
"Miss, our Vermillion Bird's pulse is naturally different from humans'. This body is not my true body, so ordinary doctors are completely useless to me."
"I almost forgot about that. What should I do? Do I have to see your body weaken? I said not to sacrifice so much for me. Yuan Dan is so important to you, but now that you've given it to me, your body is so weak. Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you? "I, Jin Xiao Ai, will absolutely not owe you any favors. I will definitely treat your body well."
Jin Xiaoluo spoke out the thoughts in his heart.
Feng Liancheng looked at her and smiled faintly. The current him was no longer that paralyzed man. He had wanted to say that he was not unwilling to smile, nor did he always like to maintain an expression. It was just that he was not a real human and did not know how to express his feelings.
For example, he had only recently learned how to smile, how to be happy, or how to be moved. It turned out that when human emotions reached a certain point, they would show themselves.
He felt as if he was becoming more and more assimilated by humans. He could not help but worry that one day, he might even become a human himself.
Now that he didn't have an Origin Core, his body was no different from an ordinary person's. Next up, he needed to take care of his body. He started cultivating again, hoping to gather the energy within his body. This way, he would be able to refine a new Yuan Dan. This way, his body wouldn't continue to consume energy.
"Mother, what are you talking about? Why I don't understand. "
Because she was still a child and didn't understand these things, Jin Xiaoyi didn't allow her to avoid them. However, she was a curious baby. He couldn't understand the conversation between the two of them, so he was more interested in what they had just said.
"Little girl, you will naturally know things that you should know. Don't ask about things that you shouldn't know about, you are still a child. He just stayed there. By the time the matters in the Southern County were settled, it would be about time for us to return to the capital. "If this goes on, I'm afraid we'll have to walk back to the capital."
The little boy obediently nodded his head.
Although he was still curious, he knew that this wasn't the time to ask about these things. One day, he would figure out what was going on.
If his mother didn't say so, Uncle Feng would definitely say it.
Jin Xiaoye then asked Feng Liancheng if there was any way to make his body better. Feng Liancheng shook his head.
The reason why his body was so weak was because the Yuan Dan had just left his body. After all, this thing had been in his body for thousands of years. If it were not for the fact that Jin Xiaoyi was his master, ordinary people would not have been able to withstand the might of the Yuan Dan.
Actually, there was one way for him to recover quickly. It was to absorb the surrounding demons. Whether it was cultivating the demonic path or the immortal path, one's own Profound Qi would be nurtured in the body, and these Profound Qi could form into a Yuan Dan in a short time. Thus, the best method was to absorb demon or immortal elemental energy from demon beasts and celestial beings.
However, this method was very damaging to cultivation experience, so it might even turn into dust. Thus, Feng Liancheng never thought about it in this way. In comparison, it was much more reliable to train well on one's own.
"Lian Cheng, tell me, no matter what method you use, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Feng Liancheng reacted and shook his head. He would not let Jin Xiao Ai take the risk.
"Miss, don't worry, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a short rest."
Jin Xiao Ai suspiciously looked at Feng Liancheng. She felt that Feng Liancheng was hiding something, but since Feng Liancheng was unwilling to say it, she didn't ask any further. After all, it would be awkward if she asked two more people.
"Miss Jin, Miss Jin …"
It was Xiao Yuan's voice.
Jin Xiaoyi opened the door and Xiao Yuan came in. With a slightly cold expression, he said, "Miss Jin, my master has said that we will head back to the capital in three days. Before we head back to the capital, he would like to invite you to meet him. I wonder if Miss Jin has the time? "
The emperor will return to the capital three days later? Why are you in such a hurry?
"Alright. Guard Xiao, tell your family's master that I will be there."
Xiao Yuan cupped his fists as he left. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to Jin Xiaoyi, saying, "I almost forgot to tell you that I'll see you in the garden pavilion of the county magistrate. "Tonight at the 18th."
"Alright, I'll definitely be there."
Xiao Yuan turned around and left. Jin Xiaoyi frowned as he looked at Xiao Yuan's back.
He was leaving in three days. There was indeed some emergency. Why are you in such a hurry?
Although she also planned to return to the capital, she never thought that she would be in such a hurry.
Anyway, I'll ask him tonight.
"Lian Cheng, rest well. Be good and take care of Uncle Feng. Mother still needs to go look around. If the matter in the Southern County is not too serious, we will follow Young Master Nangong back to the capital. "
The little girl's face was full of surprise, and then her smile blossomed.
He had wanted to go back long ago. The food in the Southern County was too horrible to eat. If it wasn't because he didn't want to leave his mother that he didn't want to come here. Moreover, right now Uncle Feng was weak and needed to return to the capital. He hoped that the matters of the Southern County could really come to an end.
"Mommy, hurry up and get busy. I'm fine here."
Jin Xiao Yi looked at the little girl suspiciously. What was this little guy thinking? Why did he suddenly become so excited?
"Mother, hurry up and go busy yourself. It's good that I'm here."
Jin Xiao Yi looked at the little girl suspiciously. What was this little guy thinking? Why did he suddenly become so excited?
Since she needed to deal with the matters of the Southern County as soon as possible, although Jin Xiao Yi had some doubts in her heart, she did not ask the little girl. Instead, she directly left the room.
Feng Liancheng was curious as to why this little cutie was so happy. Could it be that it was because she wanted to return to the capital as a concubine?
"Little girl, do you really want to return to the capital?"
"Uncle Feng, don't you want to? There's nothing here. It's worse than we were in the country. If my mother hadn't insisted on coming here, I wouldn't have followed her. "
In the end, she was still a child. Because of the great flood, the Southern County was filled with dead people. With such a lifeless atmosphere, it was already very difficult for a child like her to be beaten up after staying here for so long.
She wanted to go back, but he didn't really want to.
