This shadow guard is kinda nice

Mo Ran was silent, didn't move, just stood there watching Fu Qingru walking towards him.

"I'm sorry." She said softly.

Mo Ran was puzzled, why did she apologize, she didn't do anything sorry for herself.

"Hmm..." She hesitated, and told him about Ning Zhiyuan's pursuit of her, and about Ning Zhiyuan's losing his temper and leaving yesterday.

After hearing this, Mo Ran just thought it was funny, what is it all about, did he get jealous?

"I'm sorry, Ning Zhiyuan misunderstood you because of something like this, I'm really sorry." She bit her lip and apologized to Mo Ran again.

Mo Ran waved her hand and said it was nothing, so she didn't have to worry about it.

"...Thank you." She thought about saying something more, but she didn't know anything about him except what his name was, so she said softly, "Rest early."

"Ah."

Mo Ran didn't want to say more, turned around and left without hesitation. A moment later, he stood outside Xiao Yichen's room with a helpless expression.

Because of such a mess, the master didn't know how to deal with him, so he knocked on the door with anxiety.

"Come in."

He pushed open the door, the master was still asleep, he closed the door, approached and knelt down.

Before Xiao Yichen asked him, he told him everything in one go, and finally assured that he had absolutely never had contact with Ning Zhiyuan that day, and that Fu Qingru had only given him broken silver.

Xiao Yichen rested his head on one hand, watched his stern explanation with great interest, and couldn't help laughing when he heard that Ning Zhiyuan was jealous of him for no reason.

This time Mo Ran is considered innocent, and he is not hiding it from him. He knows what Mo Ran is like, and his interpersonal communication is very blank.

Otherwise, he wouldn't let him talk to that woman alone.

"Okay, get up."

Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, that's it?Master is not angry?No plan to punish him?

"What? Don't tell me you're unhappy?"

"No." He stood up quickly.

Xiao Yichen put away his joking intentions, and straightened his expression, "Send someone to watch over Wang Guanshi, don't let him die."

Mo Ran responded, went down to make arrangements, the room became quiet all of a sudden, Xiao Yichen leaned on the bed frame, thinking for a while.

Wang Guanshi didn't know who could be pulled out behind the scenes. He had an intuition that if he could find out, there would be a lot of turmoil in the court.

He smiled casually, then this trip was really worthwhile.

……

In the early morning of the next day, an inconspicuous carriage was parked in the backyard of the prefect's mansion, and the servants were busy going back and forth, moving the salutes one by one into the carriage.

Ning Dao stood at the side directing, fearing that something would be left behind. His wife and son had never left Pingyao, but now because of the epidemic, they had to leave Pingyao to live in his hometown for a while.

After a while, Mrs. Ning came to the backyard with the help of her maid.

"master."

Ning Dao turned around, "Why did you come here so early?" He stepped forward to hug Mrs. Ning, "Sleep a little longer? After packing up, I'll let someone call you."

Madam Ning shook her head, "I can't sleep anymore, I want to come and have a look." She looked around, but she didn't see Ning Zhiyuan.

"By the way, where is Zhiyuan? Haven't gotten up yet?"

Ning Dao laughed, "I went out yesterday and didn't come back, maybe I have to leave, I can't bear to part with his group of friends."

Mrs. Ning frowned slightly when she heard the words, "Master just used to him, what's the point of not returning all night?"

Ning Dao held her in his arms, and put his chin on the top of her hair, "Okay, ma'am, he is such an adult, there is nothing to worry about."

Madam Ning wanted to say something more, but Ning Zhiyuan happened to come to the backyard.

He hadn't slept all night, and there were obvious bruises under his eyelids. When Ning Dao saw his son like this, he couldn't help asking.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't answer him, he just waved his hand to let the servant go down, leaving the three of them as a family.

Mrs. Ning understood that something was unusual, so she stopped snuggling into Ning Dao's arms, and both of them looked serious.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Prince Xuan has come to Pingyao."

Ok?

Ning Dao was stunned, didn't he just come a few days ago?Why are you moving so fast?

"Is the news accurate?"

Ning Zhiyuan nodded, "Exactly, Mingfeng told me last night."

Ning Dao was silent, and the superior said that King Xuan would not arrive in a few days, he had not had time to pack some things, and he did not know how long King Xuan had been here, and he did not come to his prefect's mansion in Pingyao, he must have understood the past few days What happened.

No wonder Guanshi Wang was sent to the government yesterday. He thought it was Guanshi Wang who was dealt with by someone. This person was not clean in the first place, so it was reasonable for him to be dealt with.

Now it seems that King Xuan should have done it.

So he has gone to the outskirts of the city?

Then Guanshi Wang couldn't stay, he thought it was Guanshi Wang who provoked others, if it was King Xuan...

He suddenly panicked, did he discover something?

No, he has to report to his superiors immediately.

"You two get out of here quickly, and don't worry about anything else."

He said that he was about to go to the study, but Ning Zhiyuan held him back and said seriously: "Father, I'm not leaving."

"Didn't wake up? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ning Zhiyuan straightened his expression, "I don't, Dad, I'm very sober."

Madam Ning also took Ning Dao's hand and said, "I'm not leaving either."

Ning Dao's throat tightened, he knew they wanted to stay with his heart, but he couldn't let his wife and children get hurt.

Pingyao had a faint feeling that he couldn't control it. He couldn't let these two people stay here. If they contracted the disease, it would really be incurable. Ordinary people don't know it. As the prefect of Pingyao, he couldn't be more clear.

He folded their hands together, patted them, and comforted him: "I can rest assured only when you leave Pingyao and are safe."

Ning Zhiyuan hesitated to speak, Ning Dao said: "Let's go quickly, don't worry about me, both of you are fine," he smiled, "I will go to Pingzhou to pick you up when the illness is over."

Ning Dao finally saw the two of them off. He watched the carriage disappear around the corner. After a long time, he closed the back door and went to the study.

……

Xiao Yichen went to the outskirts of the city again on the pretext of going to see the woman. This time the guards were obviously much stronger than yesterday. At first he said he wanted to go in to see people, but he was directly refused to let him in.Unless there is a doctor's certificate, even if the heavenly king and Laozi come, they have to stay outside.

Fortunately, when he sent his wife here yesterday, he asked the doctor to issue a certificate for him. The doctor, out of a benevolent heart, even if he is not sick, the doctor still issued a certificate for the woman to come here voluntarily. .

With the certificate, he was able to enter the quarantine area, and a new person came to Wang Guanshi's place, and arranged a residence for him in a regular and orderly manner.He glanced at it from a distance, then dodged to go elsewhere.

After passing through a few tents, he opened the curtains, and a strong smell of herbs came to his face, even if he was wearing a face towel, the smell of herbs could not be ignored.

Inside the tent were several women, either sitting or lying down. The woman he sent yesterday sat in the innermost, looking after her child.

He went forward, and when the woman saw that it was him, there was a slight smile on her haggard face, "You're here."

Xiao Yichen sat down by the bed, he hummed, touched the child's forehead, and said in a low voice, "The fever is gone."

"Yeah." The woman nodded, "The doctor came last night, prescribed medicine, and let me drink it all the time."

She soaked the veil in water and gently wiped the child's face. The child shook his head slightly, presumably feeling uncomfortable.

The woman smiled lightly and comforted her softly, "Good boy, just wipe your face."

Xiao Yichen sat for a while, chatted with the woman, and then got up to leave.

Originally, he came here for another matter, and he just stopped by to see the two of them. Seeing that the child's fever had receded and his complexion was better than yesterday, he felt a little relieved.

The doctors here should have some skills. They can't cure the disease, but it's good to relieve it for a while. After the imperial doctor arrives here, the situation will gradually get better.

In the dead of night, the milky white moonlight poured into the room.

Just when everything was silent, Mo Ran, who had fallen asleep, was woken up.Xiao Yichen stood in front of his bed, Mo Ran got up in a jerk, and fell asleep instantly.

Xiao Yichen held him down and said in a low voice: "Change clothes, let's go somewhere."

Mo Ran silently looked at the night clothes worn by his master. He was very interesting and didn't ask any more questions. After changing his clothes, he was about to go out.

Xiao Yichen quickly pulled him back, "Aren't you awake? Dressed like this and walk through the main entrance?"

Mo Ran: "..."

Xiao Yichen opened the window, turned it out first, Mo Ran touched his nose, then turned it out, the window snapped shut, and returned to its previous appearance.

Two black figures walked quickly on the roof, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

The author has something to say: on double standards

In the dead of night, Mo Ran, who had been sleeping deeply, was woken up, with a hostile expression on his face, irritated and wanting to kill the other party, waiting to take a look.

Oh, it's the master, it's all right.
