Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The dishes were all served, and the two of them began to devour the food on the table!

Lai Gou'er didn't hold back either.

He had never eaten such top-notch food in his life! Today, he was getting a taste of the good life with his big brother!

He ate with gusto!

As if to make up for the seventeen years of deprivation!

In comparison, Fang Zheng was much more refined, taking a couple of bites from each dish, but his speed wasn't slow either.

Chu Youyi watched in astonishment.

"Like a starving ghost reincarnated... I thought he was someone who had seen the world, but he's acting like a beggar who hasn't eaten in eight lifetimes? How did Steward Dong recruit such a person?"

Looking at the two of them devouring the food, Xuanzhu couldn't help but feel a little envious.

She murmured, "If they can eat this much, they must have a lot of strength. They must be efficient workers!"

It took them more than twenty minutes to eat to their heart's content.

Fang Zheng picked his teeth and said, "Well! It has a little flavor... Takeout!"

Show-off... The waiter on the side secretly despised him again.

After the takeout was packed, seeing that Chu Youyi and Xuanzhu were still staring at them with their mouths slightly open, Fang Zheng couldn't help but smile and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for the treat, Miss! I'll return the favor when I have the chance! Farewell!"

Chu Youyi quickly gave a look, and Xuanzhu quickly stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Home, where else would we go?"

Here it comes, here it comes!

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but become vigilant.

These two little girls are indeed up to no good!

"Where do you live?"

"Jianghu!"

"........"

This sentence stumped Xuanzhu, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Lai Gou'er was fascinated.

As expected of Big Brother! He can even make sleeping on the street sound so fresh and refined... I'm still far from reaching that level!

Seeing that the two of them were not serious, Xuanzhu's face turned stern: "Stop being glib! You two don't even recognize the Second Miss, yet you dare to be rude in front of her. Do you want to be expelled from the Chu family?"

"You're talking non..." Lai Gou'er was about to speak, but Fang Zheng covered his mouth.

Fang Zheng's gaze turned to Chu Youyi again.

Chu family... Could it be the Chu family that Dong Fu mentioned?

Have I been mistaken for a servant of the Chu family? But these clothes are just ordinary servant clothes, which can be seen everywhere.

How could they tell?

Fang Zheng looked at Xuanzhu in confusion and asked, "How do you know we are servants of the Chu family?"

"Nonsense! The material of your clothes and the style of the collar are only available in the Chu family. Didn't Steward Dong tell you?"

"...... Thank you for the meal, Second Miss!! I was blind and ignorant, greetings to Second Miss Chu!!" Fang Zheng shouted!

All the diners in the hall looked over.

Chu Youyi's pretty face stiffened.

This guy is shouting so loudly, everyone on the floor knows that I'm treating him to a meal. How can I pin it on him when I get back?

Xuanzhu was also taken aback and exclaimed, "What are you shouting about?"

Fang Zheng sneered in his heart.

What am I shouting about? Looking at your accusatory attitude, if I didn't shout, I'm afraid the bill would be pinned on me!

"This is the first time I've met the Second Miss, I'm so excited! The Second Miss is beautiful and kind, and she even treated me to a meal. I'm very grateful! Uh... Girl, what's your name?"

Xuanzhu's face turned cold: "Xuanzhu. You're all talk! What are your names?"

"Hello, Miss Xuanzhu, my name is Fang Tangjing, and his name is Lai Fu."

"Well... pack your things and come back with us!"

After speaking, Xuanzhu returned and whispered something to Chu Youyi, and the two turned and went downstairs.

Fang Zheng and Lai Gou'er looked at each other.

Lai Gou'er asked, "Brother, what's the situation?"

"Those clothes of yours were robbed by me. They think we are servants, and it seems like the newly recruited kind...."

"Robbed... Brother, didn't we agree to beg for food?" Lai Gou'er looked embarrassed.

It seems that Big Brother has really committed a crime, no wonder there are tattoos on his back!

"Yes, we are begging for food, but I'm just a little impatient."

"Then what do we do now?"

"What to do?" Fang Zheng's eyes rolled: "Don't be afraid, this is all planned by me, I found you a job, you go to the Chu family as a servant, and you don't have to beg for food outside in the future!"

"That steward doesn't know us, don't worry, listen to my arrangements when you get there! I'll smooth things over for you if anything happens!"

The Chu family's servants... have generous treatment, the Chu family's young lady is beautiful and kind, and there will definitely be no worries about food!

Big Brother's ability to show off is first-class, and he will definitely not be exposed!

Thinking about it, Lai Gou'er's breathing gradually became heavy: "Brother! I'll listen to your arrangements!"

........

Kyoto, night.

The warm pavilion was unusually hot, and after a long time, even his forehead began to sweat slightly.

Emperor Jing was still buried in his desk, occasionally letting out a few soft coughs.

At this moment, Guo Tianyang walked in with someone and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it's time to change the medicine."

"Yes."

Emperor Jing slowly got up, took two steps forward with unsteady steps, and spread his arms.

Guo Tianyang skillfully stepped forward to help him undress, and in a few moments, his upper body was completely bare.

A foul smell emanated from Emperor Jing's shoulder wound.

The imperial physician hurriedly stepped forward to help him clean the wound and apply new medicine.

He glanced at the wound and couldn't help but shudder, his throat feeling a little tight.

Then he brought a bowl of medicinal soup: "Please take the medicine, Your Majesty!"

Guo Tianyang had already tasted the medicine beforehand.

Emperor Jing drank it in one gulp, his brows furrowing slightly, obviously the medicine was unusually bitter.

"Well, go out."

After seeing the imperial physician leave, Guo Tianyang hurriedly ran back to the warm pavilion and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, how is your health?"

Emperor Jing shook his head: "I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm getting weaker day by day."

"How can the wound not heal by now, but instead become a little festering, it's really strange."

"Could it be because the warm pavilion is too hot, I always feel very tired, should I change to a cooler place?"

"Your Majesty, no! You are weak now, you should rest in the warm pavilion, wouldn't it be even more harmful to your health if you catch a cold? How about I ask someone to make the fire burn a little brighter, maybe you'll feel better if you sweat a little?" Guo Tianyang said earnestly.

Emperor Jing sat down again, picked up the memorial, and felt a little confused, so he threw it aside.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I need to sweat with an external injury, I'm almost dying of heat! How is Fang Zheng's side? Is there any reply?"

"This servant has already sent an urgent message of eight hundred miles, I think there should be a reply soon in these two days."

Guo Tianyang was still staring at Emperor Jing's shoulder intently.

He rarely saw Emperor Jing so weak, and he always felt a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.

"When the news arrives, present it to me as soon as possible. The fourth son's rebellious ambition is to kidnap Fang Qing, I am very worried."

"By the way, I will not attend court tomorrow. Don't let the crown prince see me even if he comes to pay his respects, lest he see... cough... worry."

"I... I will rest for a day...."

"This servant will immediately send someone down to inform, Your Majesty, Your Majesty?!" Guo Tianyang was stunned, Emperor Jing had already fallen asleep on the table.

A trace of heartache could not help but appear in his eyes.

Back then, when Your Majesty was young, how energetic and vigorous he was, even after being stabbed with a knife, he didn't become so weak.

Now, he is so weak after being stabbed with a dagger, and the constant morning court for many years has really exhausted him.

Guo Tianyang hurriedly stepped forward to prop up Emperor Jing and put him flat on the couch.

After putting him down, he ordered the palace maid: "Quick! Bring two quilts, don't let His Majesty catch a cold!"
