The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1067 - 658: Meeting (Part 1)

Xiao Wu accompanied Xiao Jinxing to the plague area.

Xiao Jinxing didn’t stop and went straight inside.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Wu still called out to him.

Xiao Jinxing frowned.

"I think it would be better if Your Majesty went straight to Linghe Temple." Xiao Wu was still worried, "Doctor Feng is well aware of the situation inside. You can just ask Doctor Feng, there’s no need for you to go personally. The inside is full of plague patients, and I’m afraid, Your Majesty, what if..."

He didn’t finish his sentence.

Xiao Wu saw the emperor walk directly in.

Xiao Wu was speechless.

How persistent is the emperor!

Will he not give up until he reaches the Yellow River?!

Xiao Wu quickly followed.

At this moment, they were heading to the moderate symptoms area.

A Li was in here.

There were over two hundred plague patients inside, most of whom were lying on the ground. Very few were able to sit up and eat and drink a little by themselves.

There were only ten soldiers inside.

To minimize the number of infections, the number of people sent to take care of and maintain order had been reduced.

Fortunately, the soldiers were in good physical condition, and none had been infected yet, so order was well maintained.

As Xiao Jinxing brought Xiao Wu in.

A leading soldier hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Greetings, my lord."

They had been notified that an official was coming for an inspection.

But they hadn’t been told exactly who it was.

They didn’t even recognize Xiao Wu.

"How is the situation today?" Xiao Wu inquired.

"Reporting to you, my lord," the soldier respectfully replied, "Yesterday, Doctor A Li came here, and from last night till now, he has diagnosed more than half of the patients. The diagnosis results have already been sent out, but we have not yet received any feedback. The remaining patients will be diagnosed once the doctor wakes up. The doctor fainted from exhaustion while diagnosing the patients."

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered.

Xiao Wu was also a bit emotional, "A Li fainted."

"He probably overexerted himself; he is resting nearby. We haven’t disturbed him," the soldier promptly reported.

"Where is he resting?" Xiao Wu asked.

"This way, my lord." The soldier quickly and respectfully replied.

Xiao Jinxing and Xiao Wu followed the soldier to a corner of the plague area.

Xiao Jinxing tightly pressed his lips together.

The fingers behind his back seemed to clench a little.

They arrived at a corner.

Before their eyes was a small, thin body leaning against the wall, his head resting on another man’s shoulder. His face was full of fatigue, and even in sleep, his eyebrows were furrowed. His complexion was pale, and his breathing seemed shallow.

"Why not let him lie down for a proper sleep?" Xiao Wu was upset.

"We planned to let the doctor rest well, but in his half-conscious state, he said it’s enough if he leans against the wall. We didn’t dare move him, so we let him sleep against the wall," the soldier explained anxiously. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xiao Wu pursed his lips.

A Li, this kid, doesn’t take care of his own body.

How can he sleep well like this?!

Xiao Wu stepped forward, intending to pick A Li up and lay him down to rest.

As he was about to make a move.

He saw the emperor suddenly pass by him, stepping ahead to A Li.

Then crouching down to look at him.

Looking at his tired yet unfamiliar face.

Guan Yu sat beside An Ning, with An Ning’s head resting on his shoulder.

Yesterday, he advised An Ning to rest, but she didn’t listen and ended up exhausting herself into a faint.

Even after fainting, she refused to be laid down to rest properly; she said she’d wake up after leaning for a while.

So Guan Yu had no choice but to move her to the side, letting her lean on his shoulder to rest.

And she had only slept for less than a stick of incense time.

Right now, someone suddenly came to disturb them, and Guan Yu was visibly displeased.

Especially because the person in front of him was watching An Ning so intently, making him feel a sense of danger.

Guan Yu was full of alertness, ready to defend.

If the person in front of him tried anything with Miss An Ning, he would immediately take her away.

Guan Yu watched the person in front of him like a hawk.

But Xiao Jinxing’s gaze was not on Guan Yu at all.

His eyes were fixed on the "man" before him.

Watching him sleep deeply.

Even with such close proximity, there were no signs of him waking up.

Is he really that tired?!

Xiao Jinxing lightly pressed his lips together.

His eyes revealed a touch of tenderness.

He reached out, his distinct fingers nearing his cheek.

"She just fell asleep, so please don’t disturb her, my lord," Guan Yu lowered his voice.

His hand positioned itself in front of Xiao Jinxing, preventing him from touching An Ning.

Guan Yu’s protective stance around An Ning made it look like he was enveloping her.

Xiao Jinxing tightened his eyes.

An Ning sensed a movement.

She tiredly scrunched her eyebrows.

But because she was truly exhausted, utterly spent, she didn’t want to open her eyes, and her inner thoughts were just to rest a bit more, so she drifted back to sleep.

This time, finding a slightly more comfortable position, she nestled her face closer to Guan Yu’s shoulder.

For An Ning, it was merely a comfortable sleeping position.

But to others, it seemed as if her actions toward Guan Yu were excessively intimate.

Xiao Jinxing’s fingers unconsciously clenched.

Guan Yu protected An Ning closely, evidently not letting anyone touch her.

At this moment, Xiao Wu stood to the side, inexplicably sensing a trace of displeasure from the emperor.

But he felt that everything happening was normal; the emperor was closely inspecting A Li to clear up his internal doubts. A Li’s assistant, worried about A Li’s health, was diligently protecting him, which was also a natural action.

He didn’t understand what the emperor was upset about.

Moreover, with the emperor observing so closely, he must have realized that the doctor in front of him wasn’t the Empress.

Having realized, he should leave, shouldn’t he?!

Why hasn’t he left?!

And why does he seem angry?!

Xiao Wu glanced at A Li again, who seemed sincerely exhausted.

The emperor was indeed disturbing A Li’s rest.

A Li was sleeping soundly; if the emperor truly cared about the doctor’s hardship, he shouldn’t disturb him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu promptly said, "The doctor is exhausted, master... please don’t disturb the doctor any further."

Xiao Jinxing shifted his gaze from Guan Yu and An Ning.

He glanced at the sheets of Xuan paper placed nearby.

The Xuan paper had writing on it, and he casually picked it up.

He stood up as he picked it.

Keeping a distance from the people in front of him.

It seemed he wasn’t going to disturb him any further.

Xiao Wu moved closer, curiously peeking at the Xuan paper in the emperor’s hand.

The writing on the Xuan paper seemed to be a diagnosis report?

Xiao Wu couldn’t make sense of it either.

Not being a doctor, it’s generally indecipherable.

However, the emperor was silently fixating on the Xuan paper.

For a long time.

"Master," Xiao Wu took the initiative to speak, "you have seen the situation here, and now that the doctor needs rest, why don’t we leave for now?!"
