He did not notice that Rong Yan’s expression darkened the moment he said “squeeze”. The chef was about to say something when he suddenly felt his neck tighten. He was instantly lifted off the ground and thrown against the wall.
Rong Yan said coldly, “Who do you think you are?”
Then, when he saw Xiaoxiao coming out after hearing the commotion, he waved his hand and handed him to Yun Er and Yun San to deal with.
The two of them crossed their arms and smacked their lips. You didn’t take the path to heaven and insisted on charging into hell. It was already a miracle that Master didn’t whip you to death for being disrespectful to Miss Xiaoxiao. You should thank Miss for appearing in time. Master didn’t want her to be frightened when she saw blood, right?
Yun Er sighed. “Aiya, Third Prince ordered that no one in the courtyard is allowed to go out. Today, someone actually wants to sneak out of the courtyard. What should we do?”
Yun San spat. “This person knows that he’s not feeling well, but he still dares to run out. Clearly, he doesn’t take the military order seriously, nor does he take the safety of the other commoners and soldiers seriously. He must be severely punished!”
The chef was stunned. “No, I’m not. I’m different from those sick people. I just have diarrhea…”
However, the two of them couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense anymore. They attacked and easily hung him on the tree at the entrance of the courtyard without getting close. After doing this, they even looked at Rong Yan and Xiaoxiao to ask for credit, but Rong Yan didn’t receive it.
Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and rejected him. “Be good. Stop at the door and don’t come in.”
Was he a child? Rong Yan was helpless and amused. He wanted to walk forward, but Xiaoxiao threatened him. “I’ll enter the house if you come any closer. You won’t be able to see me!”
Yun Er and Yun San were caught between laughter and tears. Who could she scare with this?
Rong Yan stopped in his tracks and stood rooted to the ground. Yun Er and Yun San, who were dumbfounded, could not see his expression, but they could tell that he sounded very aggrieved.
“You’re threatening me.”
The two of them turned around and threw a stone at the chef. They were purely venting their anger.
Xiaoxiao blinked. “You’re the commander-in-chief. You have to set an example.”
Rong Yan glanced behind him. “No one saw it.”
Yun Er Yun San:… Ah, yes, yes, yes. We’re not humans!
How could they solve their worries? The only way was to throw stones! Smash him. Smash this blind person to death, causing them to be injured for no reason!
Oh my, Little Big Brother has gone astray! Xiaoxiao sized him up as if she had discovered a new continent, making Rong Yan’s face burn.
He had never missed her in his life. That was why he missed her so much.
He had not seen her for so long when he first came to the border. It was fine if he endured it, but now that he knew that she was close to him, he could not withstand these few days of separation. He did not know that he would be so affectionate.
Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and started to ask about serious matters. “Is everything alright outside?”
Rong Yan did not tell her that the outside world had been in a mess because of the smallpox rumors. If not for that, he would not have only come to see her occasionally. However, for some reason, he always had the illusion that he had a good night’s sleep even though he had only slept for two to four hours every night.
He nodded. “Fortunately, the doctors reacted in time. Everything is fine in the army.”
“The Xiongnu has just suffered a huge loss and there’s no new movement for the time being. However, from what I know of them, this peace is only temporary.”
As he spoke, he was about to move forward again when Xiaoxiao really ran into the house. Her agility made Rong Yan shake his head and laugh. He stood at the door and asked, “Do you really think this wooden door and window can stop me?”
Xiaoxiao pressed against the door, wondering if he was going to break in. Was it so… exciting…
With a faint smile on her lips, Xiaoxiao heard a voice suddenly not far away. “Third Prince? Coincidentally, we have good news for you.”
The few doctors changed their worried expressions from a few days ago and followed Gongsun Zhongjing in large strides.
“Your Highness, more than half of the soldiers have recovered! That’s not smallpox!”
Yun Er and Yun San were so excited that they threw all the stones they had just picked up at the chef. Their eyes widened, and Rong Yan could only turn around. “Really?”
The doctors all looked at Gongsun Zhongjing. As the representative, the latter briefly explained the situation over the past few days.
“…It just looks like it, and it’s more contagious. In fact, the person who has an illness doesn’t feel much discomfort. This is also the biggest reason why the soldiers don’t know that their bodies are affected. After these few days of treatment, more than half of the soldiers have already recovered. Their pulses are no different from ordinary people. To be safe, we observed for a few more days and confirmed that the people who have already recovered won’t act up again.”
After saying that, they started to wonder why the Third Prince came in. If he was looking for Miss Xiaoxiao, was he sending ingredients to her? But did His Highness need to come personally for such a small matter?
Of course, they did not think that Xiaoxiao should have been isolated like the patients after crossing the threshold back then. Moreover, if she had not been in charge of the ingredients, they would not have devoted themselves to the treatment of the patients. However, they really did not expect His Highness to personally send things to them.
Rong Yan’s smile grew wider and wider. Then, he heard them say, “It’s all thanks to Doctor Gongsun’s amazing skills!”
Gongsun Zhongjing still looked indifferent. “It’s the result of everyone working together. Everyone has worked hard.”
Everyone chuckled and scratched their heads. “It’s not hard. Otherwise, how can we have the chance to see the medical skills of the Genius Doctor Valley? Instead, we have profited.”
Another person also said, “That’s right, that’s right. Moreover, I seem to have gained weight…”
Everyone looked at each other and laughed. “We have unknowingly eaten too much with Miss Xiaoxiao’s culinary skills. In that case, Miss and Doctor Gongsun are really…”
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows and knocked on the door a few times, “accidentally” interrupting him. “Why aren’t you coming out? Didn’t you hear it? As you expected, it’s not smallpox.”
Xiaoxiao stuck her head out of the house and smiled at Rong Yan. “Congratulations.”
Rong Yan raised his hand and flicked her head. It was not hard, but it was quite intimate. “You’re not avoiding me anymore?”
Xiaoxiao chuckled. Rong Yan gave her a letter. “Here, it’s from Aunt Xiao.”
Hearing that it was a letter from her mother, Xiaoxiao took it and leaned against the door to read it.
Rong Yan did not leave either. He skillfully reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Then, he adjusted his position to block the overly dazzling sunlight before saying to the doctors who were already stunned, “I’ve troubled everyone these days. It’s all thanks to you that the soldiers have improved and the ‘smallpox’ rumor has subsided. Rong Yan is here to thank everyone on behalf of the soldiers and the people here!”
The doctors no longer had the energy to understand what he was saying. Looking at the interaction between him and Xiaoxiao, they could not say the words “Miss and Doctor Gongsun are really a match made in heaven” just now.. Wasn’t Miss a couple with genius doctor Gongsun? What was going on? Why did the Third Prince seem to be so different from Miss Xiao?
