Concubine Jinghua

Chapter 199 The Angel in the People's Hearts

The few people arrived at the ruined temple smoothly, and Ji Chenxi felt a pain in his heart when he saw those skinny children cuddling tightly together.

She couldn't wait to put all the food in the car in front of them.

Seeing them devouring food, Ji Chenxi felt surrounded by happiness.

"Sister Zheng'er, my sister is sick, can you help me see her?" A little boy timidly came to Zheng'er, tugged at her sleeve, and asked uneasily.

"This..." Zheng'er was in a bit of a dilemma. She could help them solve any problems, but in terms of medical skills, she really couldn't do anything. If I had known that when I came here, I should have prepared some emergency medicines .

"I come."

Ji Chenxi said softly.

"Xi'er, you...are you okay?" Looking at Ji Chenxi's stomach, Zheng'er asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine now, there's nothing wrong with me."

Ji Chenxi repeatedly assured that if it was a contagious disease, she would definitely leave, so Zheng'er brought her to the little girl.

Gently lifted off the dilapidated quilt on the little girl's body, a stench immediately came to her nostrils.

"what……"

The little girl suddenly let out a cry of pain, which made the boy next to her immediately walk to her side, and gently stroked her cheek.

"Sister, don't cry. When my brother grows up, he will definitely let you live a good life." Hearing such innocent words, Ji Chenxi couldn't help being moved.

"It's just ordinary frostbite, but because it hasn't been treated properly, some places have started to rot now, so only by cutting off these rotten places can it recover."

Regardless of the stench coming from the girl's body, Ji Chenxi carefully cut open her pants.

"Will it hurt?" The little girl raised her head slowly. Although the girl's face was covered with frostbite, those clear eyes hurt Ji Chenxi deeply.

"Do you trust my sister?"

The girl glanced at her brother beside her, then nodded towards Ji Chenxi.

"I trust my sister."

Ji Chenxi nodded, and directly untied the cloak on her body, wrapping the girl tightly in it.

"Please take the child into the sedan chair, and I will relieve her pain in the sedan chair."

Ji Chenxi said softly to the guard next to him.

The guard understood the little girl in his arms, and gently placed her in the sedan chair.

Li Jianyang, who was discussing with Ximenhan about taking these little girls without father and mother away, saw Ji Chenxi, a happy smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I want to help her deal with her pain."

Li Jianyang nodded in understanding, and lightly kissed Ji Chenxi's pink cheek.

"I will be your solid backing."

Since the sedan chair was not very big, Ji Chenxi had to stay inside alone. After feeding the girl anesthesia powder, seeing the girl slowly closing her eyes, Ji Chenxi opened the medicine box.

"Don't move." A sudden voice startled Ji Chenxi, and then she clearly felt that a knife was stuck on her waist. If she guessed right, it should be a sharp knife knife.

"It seems that I was fooled." Ji Chenxi sighed helplessly when he saw that the little girl who was supposed to be asleep was looking at him with a cold face.She should have noticed something was wrong a long time ago. It's not that cold at this time. How could the girl have frostbite?
"I can only blame you for being too kind." The girl's voice suddenly lost its crispness just now, and instead had a hint of hoarseness. What shocked Ji Chenxi even more was that the girl, who was only about one meter tall, suddenly changed He was as tall as himself, and in those originally clear and beautiful eyes, there was a frightening viciousness permeating at this moment.

"Is this the bone shrinking skill that has been lost in the Jianghu?" Ji Chenxi couldn't help asking softly.

"That's right, it's the bone shrinking skill." The woman who had turned into an adult had a smug smile on her face.

In Ji Chenxi's star-like phoenix eyes, there was only surprise, not any fear.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now?" Ji Chenxi's calmness surprised the woman. "Even if you kill me, you have no life to leave. The emperor and Ximenhan are outside, and there are many dead men in the dark. As long as you step out of the sedan chair, you will be thrown into hell by them."

Ji Chenxi slowly raised those shining black pupils, and glanced at the woman indifferently.

"My task is to kill you. As for whether I can leave alive, I'm sorry, that's not something I need to consider."

A trace of cruel murderous intent immediately condensed in the woman's eyes.

The knife that had been on Ji Chenxi's waist was raised high, and stabbed mercilessly at her stomach...

Ji Chenxi's right hand clasped the woman's wrist accurately. Even though she was not as strong as the woman, the woman couldn't struggle to pull out the knife for a while.

"Bah..."

The entanglement between the two knocked down the medicine box in Ji Chenxi's hand and made a bang, which made Li Jianyang outside feel an ominous premonition.

He jumped up quickly, flew directly to the front of the sedan chair, and quickly opened the curtain of the sedan chair.

When he saw Ji Chenxi who was entangled with the woman, he couldn't help but gasp. No matter how small the sedan chair was, the appearance of Li Jianyang made the woman feel a sense of danger.

She knew that her mission had failed.

"Ji Chenxi, you and I will die together." A cruel light flashed in the eyes of the woman who didn't want to go on the road alone.

With his right hand clenched into a heavy fist, he punched Ji Chenxi's stomach fiercely.

Li Jianyang, who had already jumped into the sedan chair, slapped the woman directly, and saw that she was thrown out of the sedan chair like a broken doll.

"Oh my god, this..." Seeing the woman flying out of the sedan chair suddenly, Zheng'er gasped in fright.

She and Ximenhan ran to the sedan chair quickly, and saw Ji Chenxi snuggling in Li Jianyang's arms with a smile on his face.They let out a long sigh of relief.

Zheng'er couldn't imagine that if Li Jianyang hadn't discovered something wrong in time just now, what they saw the next moment would be Ji Chenxi's body?

Oh my god, thinking of this possibility, Zheng'er opened his mouth wide in shock.

"It's okay." Knowing the fear in Zheng'er's heart, Ximenhan walked behind her, and his low and evil voice rang close to her ears.

Zheng'er came to Ji Chenxi with tears on his face.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xi'er, I...I really didn't know that such a thing would happen, I...I am willing to accept the crime."

With Ximenhan's support, Zheng'er came to Ji Chenxi and Li Jianyang, ignored Ximenhan's stop, and knelt down in front of them with a plop.

"Zhenger, what are you doing?"

Ji Chenxi quickly helped Zheng'er up, with a faint smile on his lips.

"You're not a shaman, how could you have the ability to predict? Besides, they designed it. Even if I don't leave the palace today, they will find a chance to break into the harem."

Ji Chenxi comforted Zheng'er softly.

It wasn't until a smile appeared on Zheng'er's face that she returned to Li Jianyang's side in peace.

"Is she from Yumura?"

Looking at the slandered woman who was slapped by Li Jianyang, Ji Chenxi asked softly.

"That's right, the people in the Western Regions are obviously Yumula's subordinates. It seems that Youmula is very clear about our itinerary. I believe someone in the palace should have tipped him off."

Li Jianyang's sharp blade-like eyes pierced through the air and shot fiercely at the woman.

"Yumula should be nearby, Your Majesty, let's go back first to avoid unnecessary trouble." Ximenhan said cautiously.

Li Jianyang nodded, and gently helped Ji Chenxi back onto the soft sedan chair, and they quickly returned to the palace.

Zuixianju

In a room on the second floor, the air was very strange. Yumura had her hands behind her back, and there was a kind of sinister and cruel coldness in her dark eagle eyes.

"The subordinates are incompetent and did not complete the task. The subordinates are willing to apologize with death."

The person kneeling in front of Youmula was none other than the woman who was seriously injured by Li Jianyang's palm. At this time, her mouth was still stained with blood, but when facing Youmula, she was still respectful.

"For an incompetent cripple, there is only one fate, and that is..." Yumura turned around slowly, a cruel smile appeared on that enchanting handsome face.

"Death." As soon as the words fell, his big hand had already landed on the woman's head, and the palm with powerful internal force directly slapped the woman to death in front of her eyes.

"Pull it out and feed the dog."

The subordinates who had been standing outside quickly walked into the room. They were completely indifferent to the woman's death, as if such things had happened too many times without any scruples.

Ji Chenxi, here I come.

When Ji Chenxi returned to the palace, even though Li Jianyang was by her side from time to time, she was still a little restless, always feeling that something was about to happen.

Li Jianyang walked into the room, and what he saw was Ji Chenxi standing by the window, looking thoughtful, he no longer remembered, this was the first time he saw such a helpless Ji Chenxi.

A silent sigh quickly passed Li Jianyang's sexy thin lips.

He walked gently behind Ji Chenxi, and put his hands lightly on her waist.

"Are you done with state affairs?" Ji Chenxi turned around and asked, a pair of charming peach blossom eyes locked on Li Jianyang's body.

Knowing that standing for a long time will make Ji Chenxi's body feel tired, Li Jianyang helped her to sit on the soft couch next to her.

"Xi'er, you have to remember that no matter what happens, I will be by your side. Don't let yourself fall into distress and pain. I hope to see a happy Ji Chenxi, understand?"

Li Jianyang lightly cupped Ji Chenxi's pink and creamy cheeks with both hands, and said seriously, with a bit of charm in his deep voice.

"Okay, I promise you."

Ji Chenxi, who didn't want to cause any burden to Li Jianyang, said softly, her charming almond eyes were always looking at Li Jianyang's deep eagle eyes.

Afraid that Ji Chenxi would think wildly, as long as Li Jianyang was not around, Zheng'er and the maids would come to her and chat with her.

"Zheng'er, do you know Li Yan?" Ji Chenxi asked suddenly.

"Li Yan?" Zheng'er frowned slightly. "The emperor of Fengcheng, I heard that there are many ministers who have been eyeing his emperor, so he is walking on thin ice in Fengcheng, and the throne is not very stable. Some time ago, I heard that Leng Yanran was sent to the capital to please him on purpose. The Emperor's."

Ji Chenxi nodded, a bright light flashed across his eyes.

"As far as I know, that Yumula has a good friendship with Li Yan. I was wondering if this time Yumula wanted to deal with us so cruelly, would it have something to do with him?"

Ji Chenxi said softly, her eyes were somewhat lonely, sad and beautiful.

"Whether they are connected or not, I believe the emperor and Han will solve them. Xi'er, what you have to do is to maintain a good mood and give birth to the little prince in a healthy way."

Zheng'er persuaded.

Ji Chenxi gently put her hand on her stomach, maybe feeling her caress, the baby in her stomach just kicked her violently at this moment.

Feeling the powerful kick, a kind smile appeared on Ji Chenxi's pretty face.

The entire palace seemed peaceful, but Ji Chenxi knew that an undercurrent was enveloping the palace tightly.

This night

Ji Chenxi, who was not accompanied by Li Jianyang, sat up without a trace of sleepiness. The moment she sat up, a figure quickly rushed to her bed.

"You..." Before Ji Chenxi finished speaking, the visitor had already covered her mouth and nose forcefully. Unable to make a sound, Ji Chenxi could only use those star-like phoenix eyes to hold her tightly. He glared at the person coming.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

The man's unfamiliar voice rang in Ji Chenxi's ears. As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Chenxi heard the guards shouting loudly from outside.

"Catch the assassin."

Are you an assassin?With her mouth and nose covered, Ji Chenxi could only ask the man with her black pupils flickering with angry flames.

The man shook his head.

"I'm not, but in their eyes, I already am." Ji Chenxi could hear the helplessness in the man's tone, which made her curious about the man's identity.

"As long as you don't yell, I'll let go."

Ji Chenxi nodded.

As expected, the man kept his promise, and slowly let go of his hand. Just as he let go, Ji Chenxi's slender hands quickly tore off the veil on his face.

"Yumura, it really is you?"

Ji Chenxi's soft voice was full of coolness.

Obviously, Yumula did not expect that Ji Chenxi would suddenly tear off his veil, and when he realized it, it was already too late.

"Sure enough, she is a smart woman. No wonder Li Jianyang loves you so much." Youmula had an evil smile on her face.

"What do you want? As long as those guards search my room, you will definitely die."

Yumura shrugged.

"As long as you are in my hands, they don't dare to do anything to me, and even if they kill me, I can be content with you accompanying me on Huangquan Road."

Knowing that Ji Chenxi has lost her internal strength since she became pregnant, Yumula felt confident and put her big hand directly on her shoulder.

"Miss Xi'er, are you alright?"

With little effort, Ji Chenxi heard the sound of complicated footsteps, followed by worried inquiries from the guards.

"I..." Ji Chenxi really wanted to tell them that Yumula was in her room, but when she saw Yumula put a big hand that condensed a layer of internal force on her stomach, Ji Chenxi sighed helplessly. Take a breath.

"I'm fine, you go to other places to search for assassins." There is no way, for the safety of the child in her belly, Ji Chenxi can only choose to compromise with Yumula.

"Sure enough, she is a smart woman." Yumula's big hand greedily caressed Ji Chenxi's pink cheeks, and the soft touch like a baby made Youmula a little bit fond of it.

"If you dare to touch me again, I don't mind dying with you."

Ji Chenxi said in a cold voice, that unrepentant tone caused a wicked smile to appear on Yumula's face.

"What if I take you out of here?"

A sneer appeared on Ji Chenxi's lips.

"Youmula, you don't have this ability, because I already have a premonition that the emperor is coming soon." As soon as Ji Chenxi's voice fell, the yard was brightly lit with candles. Through the window, Youmula could clearly see the man in a dragon robe. Li Jianyang, surrounded by guards, walked towards the room.

damn
Youmula uttered a low curse, clasped Ji Chenxi's wrist with her big hand, and looked around.

"There is only one window in the room. If you want to leave, there is only the door and the window, but it is a pity that the guards have already surrounded these two places. Yumura, surrender, or you will only have a dead end. "

Facing Ji Chenxi's beautiful water pupils, Youmula's eyebrows were tightly knit together.

Just as he was hesitating, Li Jianyang had already broken in. When he saw the picture of Yumula grabbing Ji Chenxi's wrist, those dangerously narrowed black pools shone like a wild beast finding its prey. of the dim light.

"Let go of Xi'er."

Li Jianyang shouted in a cold voice, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a dark and bloodthirsty world.

Yumula, who wanted to let go of Ji Chenxi, changed his mind in an instant. Not only did he not let go of Ji Chenxi, but instead he clasped his hands on Ji Chenxi's neck forcefully.

"Li Jianyang, let me leave here, or else...or I will walk into hell with your woman." Yumula shouted at Li Jianyang threateningly.

A cold smile quickly crossed Li Jianyang's lips.

"Okay, I'll let you go." Li Jianyang spit out the words that seemed to come from the depths of hell, from his thin lips.

"Let's go." In order to let him leave smoothly, Youmula's big hand kept on Ji Chenxi's neck, and the two quickly walked out of the room and came to the middle of the courtyard.

"You get out of the way."

Seeing that Ji Chenxi was controlled by Yumula, the guards did not dare to stop him, and quickly made way for him.

Yumula proudly walked out of the bamboo garden.

"I'll let you go temporarily this time, and next time I will definitely take you away myself." Yumula's thin lips pressed against Ji Chenxi's ear and sounded.

The next moment, he had already pushed Ji Chenxi away, and quickly jumped onto the roof. After the ups and downs, everyone had lost sight of him.

"Xi'er, are you alright?"

Li Jianyang quickly came to Ji Chenxi and held her tightly in his arms, as if Ji Chenxi would disappear in the next moment.

Ji Chenxi seemed to be in shock, her petite body was clinging to Li Jianyang's arms, but there was a sly gleam in her eyes that were as clear as glass.

"Did you do something?" Li Jianyang asked with a look of doting on his face, his big bony hands gently pinned a strand of Ji Chenxi's hair that had fallen to his cheek to behind his ear.

"I can guarantee that Yumula will come back automatically in less than a stick of incense." Ji Chenxi, who had a confident face, added a bit of enchanting charm at this time,
No one would doubt what Ji Chenxi said, those guards have been with Li Jianyang for many years, they have seen Ji Chenxi's ingenuity, so they have always set their eyes on the direction where Yumula left.

In order to prove what she said, Ji Chenxi did not go back to the room with Li Jianyang, but directly ordered Gillian to place the table in the middle of the yard.

Gillian did all of this quickly, and thoughtfully prepared some pastries and freshly brewed tea.

Li Jianyang held Ji Chenxi in his arms, and sipped the tea leisurely. Ximenhan, who had just arrived, also looked calm.

Sure enough, in less than a stick of incense, everyone saw Yumula who had just left, jumped off the roof staggeringly, and headed straight for Ji Chenxi.

Seeing the picture of Yumula, who was still in high spirits just now, now pale and clutching her stomach in pain, Li Jianyang's lips could not help but evoke an imperceptible sneer.

"Ji Chenxi, you... what did you do to me?" Youmula's icy voice seemed to be fished out of a deep pool, without a trace of warmth, and the long and narrow phoenix eyes shone with a cruel coldness.

Ji Chenxi, who was tightly hugged by Li Jianyang, had a beautiful smile on her delicate red lips.

"Although I have no internal strength, I am not a woman who is threatened by others. Yumura, you should be glad that I have spared you and have no intention of killing you. Otherwise, you think you still have something to do now." Ability to stand in front of me?"

A clear yet sexy voice spilled from Ji Chenxi's lips leisurely.

"You...you actually drugged me?" No wonder my stomach suddenly hurt so badly, it turned out that I still underestimated Ji Chenxi's ability.

Ji Chenxi nodded, and a smug smile appeared on her pretty and delicate face.

"That's right, I gave the medicine, and in this world, other than my antidote, which can relieve your pain, no one else can do anything."

Ji Chenxi opened his mouth naturally, stuffed a small piece of pastry that Li Jianyang had brought to his mouth, and tasted it with gusto.

"Ji Chenxi, I don't believe that I, Yumula, can't relieve the pain."

Yumula, who has always been a macho, would never believe that he would be defeated by Ji Chenxi. Although his stomach hurts as if he was entangled, his charming lips curled up with a hint of disdain.

Seeing Yumula who kept using her inner strength to resist the pain in her stomach, Ji Chenxi shook her head involuntarily, with a look of helplessness on her pretty face.

"The more you use your internal strength recklessly, the pain in your stomach will become more and more intense, and you may die under the pain in the end." Ji Chenxi said unhurriedly, with a bit of uniqueness in her soft voice. coquettish.

Hearing Ji Chenxi's words, Youmula didn't dare to use his inner strength easily, and a flame of anger flickered in his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Your Majesty, I'll let you handle it next." Ji Chenxi, who had lost interest in playing, said softly to Li Jianyang.

Li Jianyang waved his hand, and immediately a guard walked up to Youmula, directly sealed several of his vital points, and then dragged him, who was unwilling, out of the yard.

"It's very dangerous to prescribe Youmula without authorization." A look of displeasure flashed across Li Jianyang's knife-like handsome face.

Knowing that Li Jianyang was worried about herself, Ji Chenxi lightly cupped his handsome, monstrous cheeks with both hands, and her sexy red lips fell directly on his lips.

"I am very aware of the situation at that time, and it is a last resort to prescribe drugs to him. Don't worry, no matter what I do, the first thing I think of is you."

Under the refraction of the moonlight, Ji Chenxi's eyes full of moist luster are even more dazzling and resplendent.

Li Jianyang sighed helplessly.

"I'm just worried about you."

How could Ji Chenxi not understand Li Jianyang's good intentions?

"I'm a little tired, Your Majesty, are you sure you want to keep asking questions like this?" Ji Chenxi pouted slightly, with a charming smile on her face.

"I really can't do anything about you." Li Jianyang lovingly pointed his fingertips at Ji Chenxi's pink and creamy cheeks, then hugged her in his arms, and strode back to the room.

After Ji Chenxi fell asleep, Li Jianyang left the room again and went straight to the main hall.

Ximenhan, who had been waiting on the main hall for a long time, brought Yumula, who was already unconscious in pain, to Li Jianyang.

Li Jianyang waved his hand, and immediately a guard poured a basin of cold water mercilessly on Yumula's body.

The stimulation of the cold water made Yumula, who was unconscious, open his eyes immediately. When he realized that he had become a defeated opponent at this time, he couldn't help frowning tightly.

"Yumula, I warned you before not to return to the capital, it seems that you didn't take my words to heart."

In Li Jianyang's evil and charming words, there was a bit of condensation.

Yumura sneered for a while.

"Since I have become your defeated general, you can order me to be killed."

After Yumula said this, he closed his eyes directly. Instead of being tortured by pain, he would rather Li Jianyang give himself a good time.

Li Jianyang narrowed his cold pupils slightly, and there was a hint of fierceness undisguised.

"How could I please you so easily?" An evil smile quickly flashed across Li Jianyang's handsome face.

"Han, I handed this person over to you. Remember, I don't want his life. What I want is that his life is worse than death." The cold and cruel words made You Mula shudder subconsciously. .

With the vital points of his body sealed, he could only watch Ximenhan walk towards him, and watch him drag him out of the hall like he was dragging garbage.

Ji Chenxi thought that after solving Yumula, she would have a peaceful life, but a news a few days later filled her with anxiety.

"A-Jiao, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Gillian was secretly crying when she was not paying attention, Ji Chenxi couldn't help asking softly.

"Miss Xi'er, can Gillian ask for leave to leave the harem for a while?" Gillian looked at Ji Chenxi with tears on her face, there was too much pleading in her eyes.

"Is your mother's condition getting worse?"

A-Jiao shook her head, and suddenly knelt down in front of Ji Chenxi. This action made Ji Chenxi a little confused.

"Get up and tell me, what happened?"

Gillian stood up.

"Many of the common people in the city suddenly became seriously ill, and even...even died suddenly. My mother kissed her...she is also..."

Ah Jiao immediately covered her face and wept, thinking of her frail and sick mother who had been plagued by illness, Ah Jiao was in even more pain.

"Suddenly became seriously ill? Does the emperor know about this?"

Gillian nodded.

"The emperor has already known the news, so he is discussing countermeasures with Lord Ximenhan."

Ji Chenxi frowned slightly. She knew that it was impossible for the people to suddenly become seriously ill. Could it be... Could it be man-made.

Ji Chenxi deliberately ordered a bag of broken silver to be handed over to Gillian, so that she could take care of her mother with peace of mind, and then she came to Li Jianyang's hall with the support of other court ladies.

Walking into the hall, Ji Chenxi could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat dignified, especially when she saw the serious expression on Li Jianyang's handsome face, she realized that this incident made him a little at a loss.

"Xi'er, why are you here?" Even though there were too many things, when facing Ji Chenxi, Li Jianyang's handsome face still showed a gentle smile as warm as the sun.

"I heard that the people in the city suddenly became seriously ill. Your Majesty, is it serious?"

Ji Chenxi, who was supported by Li Jianyang and sat on the chair, asked softly.

Li Jianyang sighed softly.

"Now the people in the whole city are panicking. If we can't find the root cause of the disease, I'm afraid it will make the people even more afraid, and it will cause even greater panic at that time."

Ximenhan, who was standing beside Li Jianyang, said softly, his handsome face was also covered with a cloud of sadness.

"There's nothing the imperial doctor can do?"

Li Jianyang shook his head.

"The imperial doctor couldn't find any clues." Li Jianyang's cold and charming voice was mixed with a bit of suppressed pain, which made Ji Chenxi feel distressed.

"Your Majesty, let me go out of the palace, maybe I can find the cause of my illness."

"No." Without thinking about it, Li Jianyang directly rejected Ji Chenxi's proposal, especially when he saw her obviously protruding belly, he was even more firm in his decision.

Ji Chenxi sighed helplessly, she knew that Li Jianyang would reject her proposal, but she didn't expect that he would refuse so simply.

"Aside from using a dead horse as a living horse doctor, do you have any other options? Do you want to watch more common people suffer? Your Majesty, this is not the time to protect Xi'er. What you have to do is to protect the whole world." The people of the city?"

Ji Chenxi persuaded Li Jianyang earnestly.

Looking at her delicate and beautiful little face, why didn't Li Jianyang want to relieve the pain of the common people in the first place?But...but thinking that there are too many dangers outside, he couldn't bear to put his woman in danger.

There was a hint of worry hidden between Li Jianyang's brows.

"I promise you, no matter what happens, I will protect myself, okay?"

Knowing that Li Jianyang was worried about being hurt, but compared to those ordinary people who were suffering, Ji Chenxi was even more anxious.

"That's all, that's all." A low voice came from Li Jianyang's lips.

"I will accompany you out of the palace."

For the sake of safety, Li Jianyang has made all the preparations. Not only is Ji Chenxi secretly protected by dead soldiers, but even the two maids around her are also equipped with unique skills to ensure that she will not be in any danger.

Zheng'er, who wanted to help wholeheartedly, also left the palace with Ji Chenxi.

The situation was more serious than Ji Chenxi imagined. Not long after she left the palace, she discovered that there were only a few people in the bustling market at this time, and the expressions on their faces were also very serious. Full of sadness and pain.

From time to time, bursts of sobbing came from the street.

"Go to the worst place."

A gleam flashed in Ji Chenxi's charming eyes.

A group of people quickly came to the alley not far from the market. Their appearance made the people inside extremely nervous.

After a simple inquiry, Ji Chenxi was able to confirm that they were infected with the plague, which made her immediately and decisively isolate those infected with the plague.

"Xi'er, are you sure it's the plague?" Li Jianyang asked Ji Chenxi worriedly.

"It must be, Your Majesty. Immediately block off the place where they use water. In addition, I need a big tent to house these seriously ill people."

Ji Chenxi said with a serious face.

The plague made everyone's faces more solemn than ever.

Li Jianyang quickly set up a big tent in the city, and gathered all the people infected with the plague in the big tent, surrounded by a large number of guards.

"Xi'er, are you sure?"

Even though Ji Chenxi had made all the preparations, when she walked towards the big tent, Li Jianyang still had a look of worry on his brows.

Ji Chenxi, who was wearing her own special 'gas mask', had a faint smile on her petal-like mouth.

"Don't worry, for you and for the sake of the child, I won't let anything happen to me." Ji Chenxi said relaxedly.

"But..." How could Li Jianyang not know how serious the plague was, and he was really worried when he watched his beloved woman walk into the big tent.

"Your Majesty, I will take care of Xi'er."

Zheng'er, who was also wearing Ji Chenxi's unique 'anti-virus suit', said seriously.

"Be careful, you two."

Ji Chenxi and Zheng'er nodded, and at the same time took a deep look at the woman they loved, then walked into the big tent with the medicine box in hand.

Their appearance gave hope to the dying people in the big tent.

Knowing that the situation of these people was more serious than what they imagined, Ji Chenxi and Zheng'er quickly fed the boiled potion into their mouths.

Even though they had made sufficient psychological preparations, Ji Chenxi and Zheng'er were still filled with pain when they saw a seriously ill person die in front of them.

In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Ji Chenxi specially ordered Li Jianyang to burn the dead people on the spot, not only their bodies, but also the things they had touched.

Ji Chenxi and Zheng'er stayed in the big tent for three whole days. During these three days, they experienced too many deaths, but when someone recovered from their illness and walked out of the big tent, they would also show a smile on their faces. A happy smile from the heart.

"Xi'er, do you want to take a rest first?" Zheng'er looked at Ji Chenxi who was pale with worry.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't slept too much these days, so I feel tired." Ji Chenxi said lightly, for the safety of the people, she and Zheng'er personally made medicine for them these days.

It was another two days, and Ji Chenxi really couldn't take it any longer, but seeing more and more people walking out of the big tent safely, Ji Chenxi always had a happy smile on his little face.

"Your majesty, you...why are you here?"

Seeing Li Jianyang walk into the big tent, Ji Chenxi was shocked and almost fell to the ground.

Li Jianyang walked up to Ji Chenxi with a few big sword steps.

"You are inside, how can I stay at ease outside? I have said that I want to share weal and woe with you, and I will hold hands with you no matter life or death."

Li Jianyang's big hand clasped Ji Chenxi's ten fingers tightly. It was just a simple hug, but it made both of their faces show a sense of satisfaction at the same time.

The appearance of Li Jianyang greatly encouraged these people, they cheered, they were glad to have an emperor who loves the people so much, and a girl Xi'er who is like an angel descending from the earth.

Under the careful care of Ji Chenxi and Zheng'er, all the people left the big tent safely. In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading again, Li Jianyang ordered people to burn the big tent and the clothes that the people took off.

"It's finally safe and sound." When she walked out of the big tent, Ji Chenxi couldn't help sighing softly. She hadn't felt the sun for a long time, and her petal-like mouth curled into a beautiful smile.

"Xi'er, you are the greatest achievement in my life."

Standing behind Ji Chenxi, Li Jianyang's deep and seductive voice rang close to her ears.

"You... are what Xi'er has been longing for all her life."

Ji Chenxi turned around slowly, and those bright phoenix eyes, which were like glass, were tightly locked on Li Jianyang's body. They were bathed in the sun, like a couple of gods and immortals.

"Xi'er..." Just when Li Jianyang was about to take Ji Chenxi away, he suddenly found that Ji Chenxi closed his eyes, and then fell into her arms.

Ji Chenxi's coma made Li Jianyang feel as if his heart stopped beating in an instant, and he, who had always planned strategies, was at a loss.

Li Jianyang hurried back to the harem with Ji Chenxi in his arms, and called all the imperial physicians to the Zhuyuan. Li Jianyang, who had been standing by the side waiting for news, was nervous like never before. He was afraid, afraid that Ji Chenxi, who had been staying in the hardest-hit area, would be infected with the plague.

It wasn't until the imperial physician confirmed again and again that Ji Chenxi passed out only because of exhaustion, that Li Jianyang breathed a sigh of relief.

After dismissing the imperial physician, he sat quietly beside Ji Chenxi's bed, his affectionate eyes locked tightly on her delicate but somewhat pale cheeks.

Xi'er, I'm sorry for you.
