This shadow guard is kinda nice

Xiao Yichen hugged him and went all the way back to the eunuch's mansion. Lin Hai saw him from a distance and greeted him, but before he could speak, Xiao Yichen said in a cold voice, "Call the imperial physician."

Lin Hai swallowed his words back, and secretly glanced at the person in King Xuan's arms, is it Mo Ran?

While marveling at the good relationship between the master and the servant, he didn't dare to delay for a moment to invite Dr. Zhang.

Xiao Yichen kicked open the door, and put him on his bed. After he came back, Mo Ran started to feel hot again, and when his forehead was pressed against his neck, he was so hot that he was startled.

Dr. Zhang came quickly with a medicine box. It happened that he was in the prefect's mansion today and did not go to the quarantine area in the suburbs. Lin Hai called him, so he came in a hurry.

Xiao Yichen waved everyone away, he got up from the bed and gave his seat to Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang concentrated on the pulse for a long time, after confirming it several times, he hesitated, and said to Xiao Yichen: "My lord, it is... an epidemic."

The heart that had been hanging in the air for a day and two nights finally came down.

Xiao Yichen was much calmer than he imagined, perhaps because he had thought a lot these two days, but when it really came to this moment, he was able to accept it calmly.

"How sure are you that it will be cured?" He heard himself say calmly.

Doctor Zhang pondered for a moment, then he got up from the bed and knelt down, "Going back to the lord, the old minister is only... less than [-]% sure."

The disease has been going on for nearly two months now, and it is still showing a slight upward trend.

Before coming to Pingyao, several of their imperial physicians searched through the treatment methods recorded in the reign of Emperor Rendi. In fact, there is no cure at all. .

If you can bear it, then it's good, if you can't resist it, then...it's gone.

Xiao Yichen didn't look at Imperial Physician Zhang kneeling on the ground, he stared intently at Mo Ran who had never woken up, and after a while, he said to Imperial Physician Zhang: "Do your best."

Doctor Zhang fell on the ground, "Yes."

"Get up and come over and see his trauma."

Doctor Zhang got up from the ground, and before treating Mo Ran's trauma, he said worriedly: "My lord, listen to what the old minister said, before he recovers, you should avoid him, don't stay by the side, and take care of him. Someone else will come."

Xiao Yichen's expression was calm, as if he didn't hear what the imperial doctor said, he only said: "Treat his wound."

Doctor Zhang shook his head and sighed deeply. Seeing the prince's appearance, he knew that there was no way to persuade him to leave here.He didn't understand, why would a dignified prince care so much about a shadow guard, even disregarding his own safety?

……

Ning Dao heard that King Xuan was back, so he wanted to come and have a look. Yesterday, King Xuan left in a hurry, and he didn't know why.

He came to the courtyard where Xiao Yichen lived, but before he got close, the imperial guards came over and said: "My lord ordered that no one should come near here."

Ning Dao was a little confused, what's going on?

He subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

The imperial guards didn't answer him, they just told him to leave, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.

Ning Dao stood on tiptoe resolutely, and glanced into the yard twice. Without saying a word, the imperial guard put the knife half out of its sheath on Ning Dao's neck.

"Offenders, beheaded."

Ning Dao was flustered, and hurriedly looked away, not daring to look anywhere, he waved his hands and said, "I'll go, I'll go."

The imperial guard glared at him and withdrew his knife.

Ning Dao smiled and left.

Just turning around, the smile on his face disappeared completely.

He found the butler and asked him to find a way to find out what happened to King Xuan, and why no one was allowed to approach the courtyard when he came back.

The butler pressed his ear and whispered, "At that time, someone saw him. When he came back, he was sullen, with someone in his arms."

"Hold someone?"

Ning Dao was puzzled, who, with such a big face, could let the noble prince hug him in.

The housekeeper nodded, "Looking at his figure, it is said that he still looks like a man."

Ning Dao seemed to see a ghost, his face was full of unstoppable shock, "A man?"

"Yes, man."

The housekeeper added: "However, I'm not sure. The man's face was buried on the side of King Xuan's neck. The servants couldn't see what he looked like, but he was taller. The servants said that it was very likely that he was a man."

After Ning Dao listened, he was speechless for a while.

The majestic King Xuan of Liang suddenly disappeared for a day, and when he came back, he was still holding a man in his arms. The courtyard where he lived was not allowed to be approached by others, otherwise he would be killed without mercy.

Terrible, terrible.

This is the golden house.

He asked the butler to keep an eye on Xiao Yichen as much as possible. Although they said that there was an imperial army around and they couldn't get close, but maybe finding something would be better than doing nothing.

After giving orders, at night, he changed into inconspicuous clothes, rode in a carriage, and went to a house in the city.

The carriage stopped, he stepped forward, looked around, and then knocked lightly.

Two short and one long.

After a while, the door was opened, he stepped in, and the people inside led him to the main hall.There was a person standing there, waiting for Ning Dao to come.

"Young Master Zhao." Ning Dao said.

The man turned around. He was wearing a well-tailored purple gown, his black hair was tied up high, and the corners of his lips were hooked.

"Prefect Ning."

Ning Dao nodded, and the two of them sat down on the chairs beside them, Zhao Kai cut to the chase, "Why did Governor Ning come here late at night?"

Ning Dao was silent for a while. Before coming, he thought for a long time, thinking about how to minimize the loss, so as not to let the person in front of him blame him, but after thinking for a long time, there was nothing he could do. He finally decided to tell the truth , It depends on how he handles himself.

When he came here, he had prepared a draft, and repeated it in his heart over and over again. Now that he met the Lord, even though the other party looked calm, it was like a heavy weight on him.He couldn't say a word.

As expected of someone from the capital?

Such momentum.

Zhao Kai laughed softly, "Don't be too nervous, Governor Ning can say whatever he wants."

"After all, Prefect Ning has helped me a lot over the years."

Ning Dao panicked even more. The more Zhao Kai said this, the more guilty he became, so he lost the money and made many people lose. He really didn't have the guts to say anything here, but if he didn't come, he would Worse.

He only found out today that the batch of silver was transported back to his mansion by King Xuan's people, it was upright, but he couldn't move it, he could only watch.

"Master Zhao, I really... don't know when King Xuan knew about the batch of silver and sent someone to guard it in advance. When I found out, I immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to send it to you."

Zhao Kai was always smiling. He took a sip of tea, and when he heard Ning Dao said that he had delivered a letter, he raised his eyebrows, "Have you delivered a letter?"

"Give it away... ah." Looking at Zhao Kai's half-smile expression, he realized that something might be wrong, something went wrong.

"But, I didn't receive it."

Ning Daoxue stood up and retorted loudly, "Impossible, I gave it to you." He said, his voice became smaller and smaller, "Maybe... it was delayed on the road, and it hasn't arrived in your hands yet."

Zhao Kai put down his teacup, leaned back on the chair, and said lazily, "Do you believe this?"

Ning Dao turned pale, and said incoherently, "I,,, really,,"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Kai suddenly stood up and kicked him.

"Ugh—" Ning Dao clutched his stomach and fell out.

Zhao Kai's face was gloomy, he approached, Ning Dao curled up and hid, but no matter how he moved, he was in the shadow cast by Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai sneered, stepped on Ning Dao's hand, and crushed it hard.

"Don't play tricks on me. If you want to steal money for yourself, just say it. Why do you have to do so many tricks?"

"Join hands with King Xuan to punish me, right? How many people have I lost this time, will you pay for it?"

As he spoke, he exerted force.

Ning Dao screamed, "I really...not."

Zhao Kai knelt down, stretched out his hand and patted his pale face, as if remembering something, he said, "I heard that you sent away your wife and son?"

Ning Dao's eyes widened in panic, his body and mind were shaken, no wonder he has been restless for the past few days, and there has been no news these days, it turned out that he was...

"what have you done?"

Zhao Kai smiled playfully, and after appreciating the fear on his face enough, he said slowly: "It's nothing, just invite them to be guests."

Ning Dao closed his eyes, dizzy, his lips were trembling, this time he really couldn't say a word.

"It's up to Prefect Ning to guard you what you want them to do."

"I believe Prefect Ning, you are also a smart person."

After a long while, Ning Dao seemed to have suppressed the great fear in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice: "I will be obedient." He opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Kai beggingly, and stretched out his hand trying to grab Zhao Kai's clothes, but was caught by Zhao Kai. Kai waved it open with a face full of disgust.

"Don't touch them, I can do anything."

"Remember what you said today, or—"

"Calculate the new account and the old account together."

Ning Dao hurriedly said, "I will definitely remember."

Satisfied, Zhao Kai got up and sat back in the chair.

Ning Dao got up from the ground, ignoring his bruised hands, he walked to Zhao Kai, and told about Xiao Yichen's return today with a man in his arms.

"Man, are you sure?"

Ning Dao's eyes were dull, "Sure."

Zhao Kai was thoughtful, does King Xuan like men?At such a juncture, people are brought into the mansion to prevent others from approaching.

I think I put people on the top of my heart, otherwise there is no need for such a thing.

Although the folk customs in Daliang are open, there has never been a prince who has been with a man openly, and even if he wants to play, it is in private.As far as he knew, the Fourth Prince was a carnivore, loved by both men and women, but that was just for fun, not shown on the surface.

Do you like men? Zhao Kai smiled.

The author has something to say: Do you like men?

Xiao Yichen: I don't like it, I only like Mo Ran
