Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, a hint of the coldness in Xiao Nanye’s eyes faded.
Looking at Han Feng kneeling on the ground, Xiao Nanye said softly, “Stand up.”
“Considering that Huan Er pleaded for you, I’ll overlook this matter. However, if it happens again, go back and train yourself anew.”
“Yes.”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Han Feng couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
Yet, Han Feng shuddered upon hearing Xiao Nanye’s subsequent warning.
“Xiao Nanye, aren’t you curious why 1 spared that man?”
After boarding the carriage, it was only then that Xiao Nanye let go of Jiang Peihuan.
Looking at the man beside her, Jiang Peihuan asked with a puzzled expression.
She initially thought Xiao Nanye would question her about it. However, from the time they left the basement until now, he hadn’t uttered a word.
At this moment, hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Xiao Nanye finally spoke, “You want to know who’s behind all this.”
“I’ve already sent someone to keep an eye on him.”
After saying this, Xiao Nanye remained silent.
Jiang Peihuan couldn’t shake the feeling that he was upset. Even though Xiao
Nanye’s tone was gentle, she could sense something was off.
Her suspicion was confirmed by his continued silence.
Looking at the man beside her, Jiang Peihuan probed, “Xiao Nanye, are you mad?”
If Jiang Peihuan hadn’t spoken, it would have been alright. But once she did, the man beside her looked at her with eyes full of anger.
“Do you think the lives of the common people are so important? More important than your own safety?”
Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, Jiang Peihuan was taken aback.
After a moment of silence, she said softly, “Both my father and mother, even my elder brother, and even myself, have all been to the battlefield for the people of Qi Kingdom.”
“It’s not that I value the lives of the people more than my own, but I wish to help as many as I can.”
Her voice was soft but firm.
For some reason, hearing her words, the anger in Xiao Nanye’s eyes seemed to dissipate.
“Xiao Nanye, I promise you, I’ll take care of myself in the future.”
After a pause, Jiang Peihuan turned to face the man beside her and said softly.
As he sat by the window, Jiang Peihuan realized something. Whenever she was in Xiao Nanye’s carriage, he always let her sit in the primary seat.
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Xiao Nanye suddenly reached out and held her.
Resting his chin gently on her shoulder, he whispered, “It’s alright, 1’11 protect you.”
“So, can I go outside the city now?”
Facing his displeased look, Jiang Peihuan said softly, “We cannot delay addressing the plague. With each passing day, countless more will be infected.” In the end, Xiao Nanye allowed Jiang Peihuan to go to the place she intended to visit, but this time, he chose to accompany her.
While on the carriage, Jiang Peihuan was considerate of Xiao Nanye’s feelings.
But once they stepped out, hearing the cries of sorrow all around, she couldn’t hold back.
This was the residential area of Anzhou, where most of the people outside the city lived. When Jiang Peihuan arrived, she saw many lying on the ground, their faces pale.
Witnessing this, Jiang Peihuan took out her handkerchief, tying it over her face. Then, she turned to Han Feng, “Prepare the medicinal herbs. 1 will check their pulses.”
“Yes.”
“Is there anyone among you skilled in medicine?”
The sudden appearance of Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye made these people show some hope. At this moment, when they heard Jiang Peihuan’s words, a few of them stood up.
“Do you know how to take a pulse?”
Seeing the few nod their heads, Jiang Peihuan continued, “Join me and diagnose everyone present.”
“Based on the diagnoses, categorize the patients. Those with milder symptoms will assist the more severely ill. Medicine will be distributed soon, and everyone must take it.”
“Who are you?”
Some people were emotional upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s directives, yet there were also wary looks among the crowd.
At this moment, Han Feng stepped forward and declared, “This is our Queen Cheng.”
“This King is here on royal orders. Follow the Queen’s instructions or face death.”
With Xiao Nanye’s stern warning, no one voiced any objections.
Soon enough, the medicinal soup was distributed to all.
After ensuring that the situation was under control in this area, Jiang Peihuan moved on to another location.
On the third day, instead of seeing the commoners, Jiang Peihuan noticed Wan Dashan hurriedly departing.
Wan Dashan also noticed Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye.
Upon seeing them, he quickly bowed and then eagerly said to Jiang Peihuan, “Queen Cheng, I’ve heard you’ve managed to control the disease in Anzhou over the past few days.”
“I wonder, could you help me with something?”
While speaking, Wan Dashan cautiously glanced at Xiao Nanye.
Seeing no objection from him, Wan Dashan quickly approached Jiang Peihuan, “Queen Cheng, let me tell you, those bastards don’t dare to face me head-on. They resort to despicable tricks and…”
“Why are you so close? Just speak.”
Wan Dashan hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Xiao Nanye’s cold voice.
Hearing this, Wan Dashan quickly retreated a couple of steps and looked expectantly at Jiang Peihuan.
Seeing this, a smile formed in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. After thinking for a moment, she told Wan Dashan, “In that case, I’ll accompany General Wan on this trip.”
“That’s great.”
An hour later, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye stopped at the mountain.
“Queen Cheng, this is the place. It’s quite odd. Anyone who enters this mountain fainted.”
Jiang Peihuan walked forward without replying.
She noticed a faint fragrance in the air and saw some small white flowers on the mountain.
The scent originated from these flowers.
“General Wan, the oddity isn’t the mountain but these little white flowers.” “Those tiny flowers?”
Following Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, Wan Dashan also saw the flowers, looking puzzled.
“These flowers are poisonous. Their fragrance not only makes one feel dizzy but can also cause one to faint.”
“So, to enter this mountain, we need to uproot all these little white flowers?”
Thinking of this, Wan Dashan looked troubled.
Jiang Peihuan, upon hearing this, simply smiled and shook her head, “Of
course not..”
