Nangong Mingxuan and Ouyang Miaoling walked into the official residence of the county government in "Qingyuan Town", and the officials behind them followed closely.

"Ling'er... go to the backyard and rest for a while. When I have finished making arrangements here, I will send someone to invite you."

"All right..."

The ride was bumpy and the space in the carriage was limited, so it was inevitable that people would feel exhausted after sitting for a long time.

Ouyang Miaoling felt as if her body was falling apart and she urgently needed a comfortable place to rest.

After getting off the carriage, she walked straight to the backyard of the county government office.

When the maids in the backyard of the county government saw Ouyang Miaoling coming, they hurried forward to greet her and took her to a room in the main courtyard to rest.

Ever since learning that the Regent was about to arrive, the county magistrate "Hu Yian" had his relatives move out of the yard early to vacate the space for the Regent to live in.

This county magistrate knew how to guess the thoughts of his superiors. Not only that, he also specially left two maids to serve the regent.

Ouyang Miaoling walked into the room, and Wushang, who was following behind her, immediately became alert and quickly checked every corner of the room to make sure there were no safety hazards.

After a careful inspection, Wushang determined that the room was safe. He nodded to Ouyang Miaoling, indicating that it was safe here and they could rest assured.

After Ouyang Miaoling understood what he meant, she immediately dismissed everyone so that she could have a good rest.

In the main hall of the county government, Nangong Mingxuan was standing there to assign the affairs that each official would be in charge of.

"We must gather all the victims here without causing any trouble so that we can provide them with treatment."

"Some people will definitely be reluctant to leave their hometowns, so please do a good job of ideological work for everyone."

"Also, the soldiers mobilized can only guard the various fortresses to prevent the infected villagers from escaping and expanding the epidemic area."

"Yes"

Then he took into account the specific details of each matter and assigned specific tasks to each person.

Finally, he ordered the prefect Li Lin to stay in the county government office to take charge of the overall situation and the preparation of medicinal materials.

"Yes... I will do my best to prevent the victims from getting upset and eliminate this disaster as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured, Regent."

All the officials promised, and then the regent said: "Go away and do your own things."

Everyone left. Some of the lower-ranking officials walked out of the main hall of the county government office and stood in a corner where no one could see them, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads. Some of the timid ones endured the sweat, but after walking out of the door, they collapsed on the ground out of fear.

Their intermediate official positions were not high-ranking, and logically speaking, they might serve as officials until their death and never get to see the Regent. But today they actually saw him. Not only did they see him, they also listened to his instructions, which made their ancestors feel extremely honored.

The officials left the county government with their entourage and went back to their respective tasks.

The prefect Li Lin was indeed not that lucky. He had to accompany the regent all the time and work under the regent.

As the saying goes, "To serve the king is like serving a tiger", so he has to be extremely alert and always be by his side to listen to his calls.

"Master Li, you don't have to follow me all the time. Go and get the herbs. Come back and report when they are ready."

"Yes...I will take my leave."

Li Lin said goodbye to the regent and walked out of the county government office. He also quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Nangong Mingxuan sent the people around him away, turned and entered the backyard of the county government office, then personally arranged the defense of the county government office to ensure that everything was foolproof, then turned and went to the guest room of the county government office to rest.

As soon as Nangong Mingxuan entered the room, two maids specially arranged by the county magistrate came up to him and wanted to serve him personally.

Nangong Mingxuan gave Feng Xing beside him a look, and Feng Xing walked straight forward, grabbed the two maids by the collars, and threw them directly into the middle of the yard.

"From now on, you are not allowed to do anything around the Regent. You'd better stay away from the Regent, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Get out!" Feng Xing shouted harshly.

Feng Xing's behavior did scare the two maids. When they heard that the county magistrate had kept them and wanted them to serve the regent personally, they were delighted. They thought that this was the time in their lives when they were closest to power and they must seize it. If they were lucky, they might become the regent's concubine and be very successful in their lives.

Who knew that imagination is so beautiful and reality is so cruel? They were thrown out before they even saw what the regent looked like. It's really sad.

Nangong Mingxuan hadn't even had a rest when he was disgusted by the two maids. He immediately told Feng Xing to prepare hot water for him so that he could take a bath.

He really wanted to go see his Ling'er now, but he was afraid of disturbing her rest, so he could only go to the guest room next door to rest for a while before going to see her.

He didn't expect two girls to come in and spoil his fun, which made him lose all interest and feel depressed.

In the camp outside the imperial capital.

Feng Yuner has been exploring for nearly half a month, but still found nothing.

The woman seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving behind only a brief and stunning moment.

He searched almost every corner of the imperial capital, including all the officials' residences and noble families, but still could not find any trace of her.

"Prince... Feng Yun'er really tried her best. Could it be that the woman does not belong to the mortal world at all?" Feng Yun'er said helplessly.

"Not from the mortal world? Then where else could she come from? Could she be a monster that has become a spirit through spiritual practice?" Ouyang Yi retorted unhappily.

"It's not a monster. Maybe it's a fairy who has come down to earth! The fairy has completed her mission in the human world and naturally returned to heaven."

After hearing Feng Yuner's nonsense, Ouyang Yi was so angry that he picked up the book in his hand and smashed it on Feng Yuner's head.

"You should read less of those messy picture books in the future. They will corrupt you!"

Feng Yuner covered her head and said aggrievedly, "Sir, where do you think they went and who are they from?"

"If I knew all this, would I still send you to investigate?" Ouyang Yi looked at Feng Yuner speechlessly.

Feng Yun'er was speechless and could only remain silent.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yi stopped discussing this topic with Feng Yuner and continued to concentrate on handling the official business at hand.

However, for some reason, the woman's figure always floated past his eyes from time to time, making him unable to calm down.

Feng Yuner saw what the prince was thinking and said, "If the prince can't calm down, why not let me accompany him around?"

"No, I'd better not do that. I need to finish my official duties quickly. My father has been gone for almost a month, and there has been no news from him. I'm a little worried. I want to wait until I finish dealing with things here before going out of the city to ask around."

Ouyang Yi said worriedly. Feng Yuner couldn't help but feel confused after hearing this, but she still stood aside silently without saying anything more.
