Ever since Ye Siming and Censor Zhang brought the troops overâ¦
The soldiers sent by Cabinet Elder Liu to take the opportunity to cause trouble were all arrested!
After a careful interrogation, they realized that Cabinet Elder Liu had disobeyed Gu Yihanâs imperial edict and stubbornly believed that if these people werenât burned to death, the epidemic would continue to spread!
He wanted to secretly arrange for soldiers to take another mountain path to this place and burn down the villages.
When the time came, he would frame Ye Siming and Censor Zhang.
He would say that they were complying on the surface but actually disobeying orders.
Cabinet Elder Liu had a good plan.
It was a pity that things he didnât expect happened.
The little princess, Gu Nuoâer, also went and happened to bump into his soldiers.
With Ye Siming around, the various villages were divided into patient residences and non-patient residences according to his arrangements. At night, in a clean house, the bean-sized lights burned with crackling sounds.
This house was in Ningâan Village and had been tidied up at the last minute for Marquis Yongye to live in.
Censor Zhang knocked on the door. âMarquis, are you asleep? I have something to discuss with you.â
âCome in.â The youthâs cold voice sounded from inside.
Censor Zhang pushed open the door and was slightly stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
Marquis Yongye, who had killed decisively in the day, was washing Gu Nuoâerâs feet like a considerate attendant.
Gu Nuoâer had just eaten a pheasant that Ye Siming had caught from the mountain.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed and feeling sleepy.
There was also the fragrance of roasted pheasant in the room.
It made oneâs stomach growl.
Censor Zhangâs stomach made a sound without giving him any face.
Ye Siming looked sideways and seemed to have a slight sneer on his face. âThereâs still a drumstick on the table. Lord Zhang, why donât you enjoy it?â
Censor Zhang waved his hand repeatedly. âNo need, no need.â His gaze proficiently landed on the little princessâs face.
When he had just found out that the little princess was also hereâ¦
He was shocked and afraid.
His Majestyâs only beloved daughter was in a dangerous place filled with plague.
If anything happened, they wouldnât be able to bear the responsibility!
If anything happened to the little princess, His Majesty would kill everyone who came on this trip!
Therefore, Censor Zhang immediately wanted to send Gu Nuoâer back to the capital.
However, the child wheezed and refused to leave. She hugged Ye Simingâs arm, unwilling to leave.
In the end, she even pouted and prepared to cry.
Ye Siming naturally didnât want her to cry.
Therefore, he said to Censor Zhang, âSheâll follow me for the next few days. Iâll protect her well. If anything happens, Iâll bear the responsibility. Lord Zhang, donât worry.â
How could he be at ease?
This was the Great Qiâs only princess!
In the end, Censor Zhang couldnât dissuade Ye Siming and Gu Nuoâer and had no choice but to give up.
However, he never expected that Marquis Yongye would serve the princess so well.
He even personally washed her feet.
Seeing Censor Zhangs gaze sweep over, Ye Siming took the handkerchief at the side and wrapped it around Gu Nuoâerâs small feet.
Then, he straightened her body, grabbed a pillow for her to lie on, and covered her with a small blanket.
Gu Nuoâer was so sleepy that she narrowed her eyes. She hugged the blanket and naturally shrank in.
Her small body lifted the blanket into an arc that looked like a small hill.
âMarquisâ¦â Censor Zhang watched as Ye Siming lowered the bed curtain and was about to speak.
Ye Siming waved his hand and pointed out the door. âLetâs talk outside.â The two of them stood outside the door.
At this moment, the mountain wind whistled and the night rain pattered.
It was so cold that Censor Zhang shivered.
On the other hand, Ye Siming was wearing a thin brocade fur coat and his expression was as cold as white jade.
It didnât look like he felt cold at all..
