This shadow guard is kinda nice

Two days later, Lin Hai and the imperial physician also arrived in Pingyao. After receiving the news, Xiao Yichen went to the eunuch's mansion with Mo Ran.

The eunuch waited outside the mansion with his people early in the morning. All the officials of Pingyao, big and small, were here. They whispered to each other, and they knew each other well that King Xuan came to Pingyao this time, and there was bound to be some big moves.

The epidemic became more and more serious, the streets were deserted, the doors of the shops were tightly locked, and the hustle and bustle of the previous few days no longer existed.

Therefore, when a group of people appeared at the end of the long street, it was particularly obvious.The conversation of the crowd stopped instantly, and the officials gathered together, looking forward to it.

When he got closer, Lin Hai raised his hand, and everyone stopped.

Ning Dao led a group of officials to greet him, Lin Hai clasped his fists, "Prefect Ning?"

Ning Dao nodded, "Yes, may I ask Your Excellency?"

"Lin Hai, take charge of escorting the imperial physicians this time."

Ning Dao patted him on the shoulder, "It's been a hard journey."

Lin Hai shook his head, "It's okay," he pointed to the carriage behind him, "Let the imperial doctors take a rest first, they are the ones who really worked hard."

Ning Dao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I have already arranged the residence. If you don't mind it, you can live in my house."

Lin Hai smiled, "There is Lao Ning, the prefect."

Ning Dao waved his hand and said, "Where."

He walked to the carriage, opened the curtain himself, and got out of the carriage to meet the imperial doctors.

The group of officials following Ning Dao looked left and right, and when the servants had removed the medicinal materials from the carriage, they did not see King Xuan.

Ning Dao led people into the mansion, and he and Lin Hai walked last, after pondering for a while, he asked, "Captain Lin, what I mean is... King Xuan?"

That day Zhiyuan told him that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan had arrived in Pingyao, even if he had been in Pingyao to inquire about the situation, now that Lin Hai and the imperial physician had arrived, there was no reason for him not to come to the prefect's mansion.

Lin Hai lowered his voice when he heard the words, and said calmly, "King Xuan will be there soon."

While the two were talking, Xiao Yichen and Mo Ran appeared outside the gate of the prefect's mansion, and Lin Hai saw them from the corner of his eye.

"King Xuan."

When everyone walking in front heard the sound of King Xuan, they all stopped and looked back.

Xiao Yichen stood at the bottom of the steps, his eyes swept over everyone, obviously he was the one who got shorter, but everyone seemed to be a head shorter than him.

"See His Royal Highness King Xuan." A group of officials bowed to salute.

Xiao Yichen walked up the steps, "My lords, excuse me."

He then said, "Go ahead, don't stand here."

Everyone settled down in the Prefect's Mansion, taking advantage of the fact that all the officials from Pingyao were there, Xiao Yichen summoned a few and talked inside, while Mo Ran guarded the door.

Ning Dao was busy for a long time, and then he was free. He came to Xiao Yichen's non-stop, wanting to go in, but was blocked by Mo Ran.

"Master said, I don't want anyone to disturb me."

Ning Dao looked up at the closed door, then at the icy man, and smiled apologetically, "Okay, I won't go in. I'll come back when King Xuan has time."

Mo Ran didn't say anything, and watched him leave. After a while, Lin Hai came again.

"Doctor Zhang asked me to tell you, they will go to the clinic to check the situation first."

Mo Ran nodded in response.

"Is King Xuan still receiving officials?"

"Ah."

Lin Hai saw that he didn't want to talk too much, and didn't want to bore himself, so he said a few words casually and left.

It wasn't until sunset that the door was opened, and the officials came out one after another, nodding their heads as they passed by Moran.

Mo Ran nodded slightly, neither humble nor overbearing.He didn't go in until everyone had left.

Xiao Yichen put down the teacup, he turned around and closed the door.

"Master." He said what Doctor Zhang meant, and Xiao Yichen gave a lazy hum.

Talk to the imperial doctors again in the evening to see what they think. Although he has been in the medical center and the isolation area for the past few days, he is still a layman and doesn't know much about medical theory. He can see the problem Most of them are incidental, and the imperial doctor still needs to come for epidemic diseases.

"Is there any movement in the cave?" Xiao Yichen asked

"Someone went to the cave the next day, checked it out and left. I guess Ningdao was worried and sent someone to check it out. After that, there was no movement."

Since the money was transported there, he sent people to watch over it. Although there were not many people brought by Master Pingyao this time, fortunately, the martial arts are very good and they are very easy to use.

Xiao Yichen looked calm, "Where's the one in the prison?"

"died."

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment, the only value of this steward Wang is to know where the greedy money is hidden, now that he is transferred to another place by Ning Dao, then he is worthless, not worthy of the people above him to protect him.

Who is above Ning Dao?Whose orders did he take?Who is his backer in the capital?

He thought for a while, but he didn't have any idea, so he stopped thinking about it, "Let's pass on the meal."

Just hungry too.

Capital

After the emperor finished his political affairs, Eunuch Fu walked in with a food box.

"Your Majesty," he opened the food box and put the trays on the table, "Concubine Li sent someone to deliver it."

The emperor glanced at it, and had no appetite.

"Take it down."

Eunuch Fu was silent, the plate was taken back, he handed the food box to the little eunuch next to him, and the little eunuch went out with the food box.

The emperor leaned back in his chair, drank a cup of tea and asked, "How is Lao Wu?"

Eunuch Fu bowed his waist slightly, "It is said that the imperial physicians arrived in Pingyao today, and King Xuan lived with them in the eunuch's mansion."

The emperor put down his cup and frowned, "Didn't he arrive in Pingyao earlier? Didn't he go to the prefect's mansion?"

Eunuch Fu lowered his head, "I don't know, Lin Hai is not around, so I can't know the specific whereabouts of King Xuan."

After a while, the emperor said, "Let Wei Jue's people keep an eye on it."

"Yes."

Xiao Yichen chatted with the imperial physicians for most of the night, and preliminarily determined the treatment plan, and then he asked people from the imperial army to send the imperial physicians to rest.

The labor force sent by Wei Jue is not in vain.

After everyone left, he leaned on the chair and rubbed the space between his brows.

Mo Ran came over and said softly, "Master, may I give you a massage?"

Xiao Yichen responded.

Mo Ran walked behind him and gently placed two fingers on his temples.

Xiao Yichen's body tensed up instantly, but he soon relaxed again.

If it was someone else, Xiao Yichen would never allow him to get so close to him, let alone put his vitals directly under his hands.

But this is ink dyeing.

Mo Ran waited for him to get used to it, and then began to massage without losing strength.Although he has not studied massage, he knows the acupuncture points of the human body, so he knows how to press them to make people feel more comfortable.

Xiao Yichen squinted his eyes, his body completely relaxed.He raised his head slightly, enjoying the massage brought by the person behind him.

The candlelight was dim, and the figures of the two were drawn into a long line, which was reflected on the window.

Xiao Yichen slowly fell asleep, Mo Ran stopped his hands, he walked softly in front of Xiao Yichen, squatted down, looked up at his sleeping face for a moment, and made sure that he was fast asleep.

He got up, rubbed his face, and now a difficult problem was in front of him.

How can I put him on the bed without waking him up?

He stood there thinking for a long time, but couldn't come up with any solution.

Gritting his teeth for the last time, forget it, let's commit the next crime.

He bent down, protected the back of Xiao Yichen's neck with one hand, wrapped his arms around Xiao Yichen's waist with the other, and hugged Xiao Yichen horizontally.

Don't wake up, don't wake up.

he prayed.

Otherwise, ten thousand times would not be enough for him to die.

It was only a few steps away from the table to the bed, but he was covered in sweat.

He bent down and put the person on the bed steadily, and took a peek at it. Fortunately, he didn't wake up.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes wandered back and forth on Xiao Yichen's clothes.

If you ask him to take off his master's clothes when he is asleep, he will not dare to give him ten courage.

He took a deep breath, and that was it.

He lifted the quilt, covered Xiao Yichen's body, looked around again to make sure there was nothing wrong, then went to blow out the candles, and left quietly.

The moment the door was closed, Xiao Yichen opened his eyes, not like when he just woke up.

He glanced at the quilt covering his body and smiled vaguely.
