Mo Junyang raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Qingxue, with ridicule in his stiff expression.
Shi Qingxue was so shy that she wanted to withdraw her hand.
“I haven’t rubbed it enough. Don’t move randomly.” Mo Junyang grasped her hand and didn’t give her a chance to dodge.
Shi Qingxue pouted and whispered resentfully, “I didn’t ask you to do this.”
Mo Junyang chuckled. “Right. I volunteered to do this, okay?”
In the end, he even kissed the back of the fair-skinned hand gently.
The warm feeling made Qingxue’s heart beat fast, and her face blushed in an instant. She questioned while stuttering, “What...What are you doing?”
Her voice was as low as a mosquito’s, and it was sweet, without the momentum of questioning.
Mo Junyang didn’t retreat after being rebuked but gripped Qingxue’s hand steadily. He had a faint smile on his cold lips, leaning forward.
“What do you
Jiangzhou City was not big, but there were many mountains in the south, and the transportation was poor, so the villages and towns in this area were many and scattered, and it was not easy to sum up the people who died of the epidemic.Shi Qingxue didn’t stop because she wanted to sum up all the data as soon as possible, yet Mo Junyang got impatient while waiting.The man’s eyes were deep, and it seemed that he had a plan.He said, “Yan Xu has known my identity, so he will be more alert. I must check the place where the epidemic started before he has time to arrange everything.”Shi Qingxue had guessed that Mo Junyang would do that, so she had no objection yet stated, “I will go with you.”“No need. I will just go to see the surviving common people and ask them what happened then. There is nothing serious, but your job is more important. I hope that you can sort out all the information of the whole Jiangzhou Cit
Shi Qingxue returned to her room and wanted to continue with her job.However, after she wrote for only a little while, she started to be absent-minded as she saw that it was getting dark gradually.After she finished some words, she couldn’t help but raise her head and look out of the window. There was nobody outside, and it was so quiet that they could hear the sound of a needle falling.She was in a daze for a few seconds and then forced herself to pay attention to the paper again, continuing to write.After nearly one hour, she finished nothing.However, Shi Qingxue didn’t find it but forced herself to continue.Dong Shuang couldn’t bear to see that. She said in a soft voice involuntarily, “My Lady, it’s evening now. Shall we have dinner first?”“I am not hungry,” Shi Qingxue answered without thinking.Dong Shuang advised, “Have a rest. You have written for one day.”
Shi Qingxue’s eyes became cold at once.She stared at Wei Zichao and asked, stressing each word, “Zichao, tell me frankly. What did Mo Junyang tell you before leaving?”Since Shi Qingxue got close to Mo Junyang, she called him Junyang generally, but she could hardly restrain her anger now, so her tone became stiff.Wei Zichao felt the difference and stiffened, yet he relaxed soon and answered in a mechanical tone, “Nothing.”He was unwilling to reveal what his master told him, while his answer proved Shi Qingxue’s guess.Shi Qingxue laughed although she was angry. “He didn’t tell you anything but you stopped me repeatedly. Do you want to say that you made a decision without authorization?”Wei Zichao was speechless.He was retorted and forced a bitter smile after a long time. “My Lady, since you have guessed, please don’t make things difficult for me.”Shi Qingxue agreed wi
Hearing the clip-clop of a horse’s hooves, Shi Qingxue raised her head in surprise at once and then saw a dark brown fast horse running to them step by step.It didn’t run fast, as if intentionally restraining its instinct to run just to protect the master.Qingxue finally noticed that somebody was on the fast horse’s back.That man was dressed in a deep-colored long robe, lying on the horse’s back like a puppet without strings. His arms and legs hung feebly on the ground, and he was like a dead person.Shi Qingxue didn’t see the man’s face clearly, but the familiar robe was enough to make her feel cold on her back. Her heart beat fast and almost jumped to her throat.Shi Qingxue walked to him quickly and grabbed the man’s hand anxiously. “What’s wrong with you?”The man lying on the horse’s back finally opened his eyelids from a coma and narrowed his eyes. It seemed that it took him some time befor
Shi Qingxue was overcautious and indecisive. In the end, she had to show her master card.“No need. His Highness said that he couldn’t accept your taking care of him, so you don’t need to bother.”Her words “taking care of” were meaningful. Both of them knew what it meant.Even though Yan Xu was thick-skinned, he blushed after hearing that.However, she didn’t give him a chance to argue. Then she added unhurriedly, “Lord Yan, don’t need to worry. Wei Zichao and Dong Shuang are taking care of His Highness, and he will be fine. I won’t be tired.”These words showed that the relationship between Shi Qingxue and Mo Junzhan was pure. Even if some people took the chance to cause trouble in the future, they could do nothing to her. At the same time, she warned Yan Xu.With Wei Zichao protecting Mo Junzhan, Yan Xu couldn’t hurt him no matter how bold and capable he was.Yan Xu received Shi Qing
Mo Junzhan didn’t believe Xiao Qijun’s words. He winked at Wei Zichao, and the latter drew his long sword, aiming at Ye Zhixin without demur.As the bright and sharp sword swept in front of Ye Zhixin’s eyes, she was so scared that her legs weakened and she turned pale.If Dong Shuang didn’t grab her arm from behind, Ye Zhixin might sit on the floor.Xiao Qijun was anxious to save Ye Zhixin, while Wei Zichao twisted his hand and the sharp sword was on Xiao Qijun’s neck.If Wei Zichao took a step forward, it would be enough to make blood flow from his neck like water.Mo Junzhan stated, “I will give you another chance. Tell me where you hid His Excellency.”Xiao Qijun was still unyielding. “Why did you say that I hid His Excellency? I did everything under Lord Yan’s orders. If you want to know everything, why don’t you ask him, Your Highness?”He was skilled in passing the buck.
“Junyang!”Shi Qingxue screamed and rushed over. Before Mo Junyang fell on the ground, she held him in her arms.At the moment, she felt heartbroken and her legs weakened. She fell and sat on the ground with the posture of hugging Mo Junyang.She called Mo Junyang’s name repeatedly. But when they saw him, Mo Junyang closed his eyes and fell into a coma.Wei Zichao drew the long sword and put it on Xiao Qijun again, asking harshly, “What did you do to my master?”The other members in the stockaded village present saw that their chief was under threat with a sword, so they aimed at Wei Zichao with their weapons in unison and surrounded them. “Let go of our chief.”For a moment, it was at daggers drawn, and a war would break out at any time.Xiao Qijun looked surprised and stared at Mo Junyang in a coma, unable to react. He murmured, “Why did it happen? Why...”Wei Zichao gogg
Shi Qingxue realized that her words were ambiguous, so she hurriedly added, “I don’t dislike you, but Junyang suffers from a disease that will infect others. It’s fine if only one person takes care of him, and it’s unnecessary to increase the risk for others.”Although Shi Qingxue behaved indifferently, she was afraid.She had to drive away Dong Shuang earlier and tried to prevent the others from getting close to this room.However, Dong Shuang was unwilling and craned her neck. “I should take care of him. How can I make you tired, My Lady?”Shi Qingxue glanced at Dong Shuang and knew that she couldn’t persuade her with ordinary reasons as this maid was inflexible.So she opened her lips and rebuked emotionlessly, “Do you qualify to take care of my fiance?”Although her voice was calm, her words were jealous, stunning Dong Shuang.Before Dong Shuang realized the truth, she subconsciousl
