This shadow guard is kinda nice

Taishoufu

Xiao Yichen soaked the cloth towel, wrung it dry, and wiped Mo Ran's face lightly. He drank the medicine in the afternoon, and the fever went down a bit, but he was still not optimistic.

According to Dr. Zhang, there will be fever from time to time in these two days, and the short-term fever does not explain any problem. If there is no fever after three days, then it is really over.

Xiao Yichen wet the cloth again, helped the man up, and wiped his upper body briefly, the two knife wounds on the shoulder and abdomen no longer ooze blood, but it is important to have a good life, and you must not take it lightly.

After finishing all this work, Xiao Yichen sat on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and touched Mo Ran's forehead, and finally felt relieved.

He looked at Mo Ran slightly sideways, with a rare dazed look on his face, and he didn't move for a long time.It was rare for Xiao Yichen to let himself go, just sitting next to Mo Ran, staring at his bloodless face in a daze.

Before yesterday, in the past 20 years of his life, he only wanted to seek the imperial career, and he didn't care about anything else.

The cold eyes he received in the palace when he was a child, the emperor's ruthlessness, the mother's concubine's depression all day long in the palace, and finally died of illness, but he couldn't do anything. It was completely destroyed.

He hated this feeling of powerlessness, the helplessness that his fate was not in his hands, he didn't want to experience it again, never in his life.

Therefore, he wants to gain power. Only in that way can his destiny be in his own hands, and he can not be helpless, he can not be trapped by everything, and he can do whatever he wants.

He wants to stand on a high place and overlook everything in the world.

But all this was shaken when he saw Mo Ran lying on the vast snow without a sound.

Pain surged into his heart, he picked up Mo Ran, and when he unconsciously fell into his arms, his forehead was hot, which made him startled.

Overwhelming fear struck.

He was afraid of what he would do if there was no such loyal man behind him in the future.

For the first time, he was at a loss.

He began to examine the weight of the person in his arms in his heart.

The night passed.

He found that Mo Ran was far more important than he had imagined.

He seems to be easy to get along with, but in fact, only he knows that he is used to being indifferent. Except for those who are very close to him, in his eyes, other people probably only see whether they can be used by him and how useful they are.

He thought it was the same for Mo Ran, at most, there would be more of the master-servant love that he had been with for many years.

When he was seven years old, he bought Moran on the streets of Jinling with 50 taels of silver, and the silver was pooled together with Lin Sheng.

Spring goes and autumn comes again, and in a blink of an eye, it has been 13 years and more than 4000 days and nights.

I don't know when this friendship changed.

He began to have an unusual possessive desire for Mo Ran, his subconscious concern and love, and his menacing... desire for Mo Ran.

He will have desires for Mo Ran's half-naked body, not some kind of exhaustion.

He would want to kiss Moran's thin and soft lips, not some kind of medicine.

He will want more, and he will also want to spend the rest of his life with Mo Ran.

This is not the feeling a master should have towards a shadow guard.

After nearly two days and one night, he understood.

He had other feelings for his Shadowguard.

Thrilling, enough to overwhelm him—like it.

He fell in love with his little shadow guard. He didn't know when it started, and he didn't know when it would end. He only knew that at this moment, he really liked him.

I like his forbearance, his decisiveness, and his devotion to himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yichen smiled softly, and his fingers slowly slid along the outline of Mo Ran, to his Adam's apple, and finally stopped at the collarbone.

Get well soon, my little shadow guard.

……

In the past few days, there have been more and more patients in Pingyao, and the isolation area on the outskirts of the city is almost full of people. Fortunately, the Yi family, the Fu family, and the Ren family have donated several vacant houses for free. They were sent there, and the new isolation area was also under construction. Several families were contributing people and efforts. Ren Mingfeng and Fu Qingru also went to help from time to time, and the situation would only get better and better.

Xiao Yichen went to the outskirts of the city early in the morning, and before leaving, he asked Lin Hai to guard the yard carefully, and no one could enter without his order.

Lin Haizhi nodded and promised that no one would be let in. When Xiao Yichen left, he leaned against the door with folded arms, only dared to look back, but did not dare to enter the yard.

King Xuan already knew that he was sent to watch him, if he went into the yard privately now, and he found out, he might not have good fruit for himself.Zuo Zuo reported to the commander that King Xuan came back with his shadow guard in his arms and personally took care of it, and for the rest, follow what King Xuan said.

Following Ning Dao's instructions, the housekeeper stared at King Xuan's residence in the dark. He finally waited until King Xuan left, and then saw the leader of the imperial army guarding there again, and did not give him a chance to enter the courtyard. What on earth is a man hiding in Wang's courtyard trying to do?

He stayed for most of the day, but he didn't have a chance to enter the yard, so he had no choice but to leave in the end.

Xiao Yichen was inspecting in the isolation area, accompanied by several officials, they entered a tent at random, and Xiao Yichen saw the woman he sent here when he first came here.

He talked to the women next to him for a while, and asked them about their physical conditions. Fortunately, most of them were in good condition. After a long time, the woman raised her head and noticed him.

She stared wide-eyed, looking at the officials following behind him, as if in a daze, she understood everything in an instant.

He is not sick, he just said that to let himself come here, not only that, but he is also a high-ranking official, she doesn't know how big an official is, but she can make the local officials in Pingyao respectfully follow behind, want to come Not much to go.

Xiao Yichen gave some instructions to the accompanying imperial physician, then walked up to the woman, he didn't see the shock and gratitude in her eyes, but only looked at the child leaning on the woman.

He reached out and stroked the child's hair.

"how is he?"

The woman was stunned for a while, wiped away the moisture from her eyes, and tried to make herself smile, she said: "It's good, the doctor said that in a few days, I can leave here."

Xiao Yichen smiled, "That's good."

She gently pushed the child, "Say hello to this young man."

The child raised his head and had repeated fever for several days, his face was flushed abnormally.

"Hello, big brother." He said in a milky voice.

"good."

The officials and women on the side looked at them and smiled, and said that King Xuan was approachable, and it was really a blessing for Pingyao and a blessing for Daliang to come here to comfort the patients in person.

The official standing in front bent over and said: "With the prince here, the epidemic in Pingyao will definitely pass."

Others followed suit.

Only then did the woman learn that this was the prince, no wonder he was so extravagant.

She was grateful in her heart, and before leaving, she solemnly thanked Xiao Yichen.

"Thank you, my lord, if it weren't for you," she rubbed her son's head, and said softly, "If it wasn't for you, he might just..."

Xiao Yichen shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of little effort." He looked at the little boy, "He's still young, and there's a better future waiting for him."

The woman watched the group leave, resting her head on the top of her son's hair and closing her eyes.

The prince is a very good person, you must not disappoint his expectations of you, mother is also looking forward to your bright future...

After getting out of the tent, seeing that Shen Shi was about to arrive, Xiao Yichen asked casually, "Where's Ning Dao?"

The officials next to them looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one spoke.

Ok?

Xiao Yichen was puzzled, he turned around.

An official stood up at this moment, he bent down and said: "Go back to the lord, Ning Taishou is not coming here today." He thought for a while, and then added: "Yesterday, Ning Taishou was monitoring the construction of the new quarantine area, and today there may be busy with other things."

Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, he sized up the official who came out to answer.

"What's your name, you?"

The official raised his head quickly, glanced at Xiao Yichen, then lowered his head again, "Go back to your lord, I'm off to Peng Yuan."

"Okay," Xiao Yichen nodded, "From now on, you will be in charge here."

Joy spread across Peng Yuan's face at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said emotionally, "Thank you, my lord, I will do my best and will not let you down."

"En." Xiao Yichen responded lightly.

The complexions of the accompanying officials at the side changed again and again. No one thought that in such a short time of questioning, people who used to be much lower than them in the past would get such an excellent job in an instant.

Xiao Yichen didn't bother to look at their colorful faces, so he waved away these officials, and he took Peng Yuan alone to the place in charge.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and the shadow guard inside stopped moving the boxes.

"master."

Xiao Yichen responded, "Open it."

The shadow guard opened a box nearby, and the white silver dazzled people's eyes.

Peng Yuan was stunned aside, there was so much money, after a while, he came back to his senses, glanced around, and all he could see were neatly stacked boxes.

How many taels of silver do these many boxes add up to?

Being assigned such an errand by King Xuan today, and seeing so much money in such a short period of time, his mood is a bit complicated.

Xiao Yichen pointed to Yingwei and Peng Yuan, "From now on, you two will be responsible for the money, and the expenses here in the quarantine area will be paid from here." After a pause, he added: "Also, take out most of the money for Subsidize these sick people, and the cost of treating this disease will no longer be small, and if you can pay more, you will pay more."

Shadow Guard and Peng Yuan nodded.

"Every amount of money spent must be recorded in the book, and it will be taken to the prefect's mansion from time to time. This king wants to see it."

"Yes." The two agreed.

Peng Yuan's mood at this moment can't be called not emotional, and he can't care about the complexity anymore. The prince has entrusted him with such a heavy task, so he must do a good job.

Seeing the excited expression on Peng Yuan's face, Xiao Yichen couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and said a few more words, seeing that things were almost arranged, he opened the curtain and went out.

I don't know what Moran's situation is like today, but in just half a day, he just misses him a little bit.
