“Master…”
When Ye Xiao spoke, Cheng Yang also reached Jiang Peihuan’s carriage.
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Peihuan lifted the curtain of the carriage.
She immediately saw a sweating Cheng Yang, who was wearing a white dress, looking very neat and refreshing.
“Master, you’re heading to An Zhou, right? Take me with you.”
Meeting Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, Cheng Yang spoke without hesitation.
“No.”
Seeing the puzzled look on Cheng Yang’s face, Jiang Peihuan spoke calmly, “An Zhou is now riddled with the plague. I have important things to handle there and really can’t afford to look after anyone. That’s why I can’t take you…”
“Master, you don’t need to look after me. I can also help save people. Although I’ve learned medicine for a short time, 1 have acquired some basic knowledge. I’m sure I can help in An Zhou.”
“Master, please, take me with you. If you don’t agree, once you leave, I’ll go there on my own.”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned, a stormy look in her eyes, “Are you threatening me?”
Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s displeased face, Cheng Yang quickly shook her head, “No, I’m not threatening you, Master. I truly wish to go to An Zhou. 1 grew up there, it’s my home. How can I stand by and watch it be destroyed?”
As she said the last sentences, her eyes filled with tears, and to this, Jiang Peihuan looked surprised.
After a brief silence, Jiang Peihuan asked, “If you go to An Zhou, does Young Master Rong know?”
“Why should he know about my affairs?”
Jiang Peihuan turned her gaze to Ye Xiao, whispering, “Go see Young Master
Rong and inform him about this.” 𝑓𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛ℴ𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
“Yes.”
As Ye Xiao prepared to leave, the sound of hoofbeats echoed.
Turning to look, she saw Rong Mo on horseback.
She turned around and saw Rong Mo on the horse.
Upon seeing him, Cheng Yang looked slightly startled, but Jiang Peihuan remained calm.
“Queen Cheng?”
Arriving beside the carriage, Rong Mo nodded in greeting to Jiang Peihuan.
“Young Master Rong, Cheng Yang wants to accompany me to An Zhou. What’s your view on this?”
Even though Rong Mo has always been indifferent to Cheng Yang, Jiang Peihuan knew he took care of her in his own way.
So, she wanted Rong Mo’s consent on this matter.
Hearing her words, Rong Mo turned to Cheng Yang.
“Rong Mo, let me tell you, whether you agree or not, I…”
“Let her go if she wishes.”
Cheng Yang’s words were cut off by Rong Mo.
Continuing, Rong Mo said, “I’ll accompany the Queen to An Zhou.”
Jiang Peihuan didn’t refuse Rong Mo’s proposal.
Shortly after, Cheng Yang boarded the carriage, and Rong Mo rode beside them.
The group set off at a brisk pace towards An Zhou.
Although it would normally take three days of non-stop horse riding from the capital to An Zhou, Jiang Peihuan, being pregnant, couldn’t travel so hastily, despite her concerns for An Zhou.
Therefore, they rested for quite a while along the way.
By the time Jiang Peihuan’s carriage stopped outside the city of An Zhou, it had already been five days.
Even before the carriage entered the city, Jiang Peihuan saw bodies everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Peihuan, sitting in the carriage, had an upset look in her eyes.
She had mentally prepared herself for what she might see, but witnessing it firsthand, she realized the situation was worse than she had imagined.
“Stop! Who are you?”
As the carriage approached the city gate, it was stopped by the guards.
“Quickly inform King Cheng that the Queen has arrived.”
Jiang Peihuan remained silent, but Ye Xiao spoke coldly to the guards.
Hearing this, the guards’ eyes widened in surprise. After glancing at the carriage, one of them hurriedly ran inside.
Inside the city, in a mansion.
A man sitting at the main seat looked displeased, “Still no doctors found?”
“Your Highness, the doctors we found are all dead. The remaining ones in the city are too scared to come.”
Hearing this, Xiao Nanye’s already dark expression deepened.
The man hadn’t slept for days, evident from the bloodshot eyes.
Jiang Changbai, sitting next to him, wanted to console him, but before he could speak, Han Feng rushed in.
“Master?”
Xiao Nanye, with cold eyes, looked at the hurried Han Feng.
Seeing his master’s expression, Han Feng lowered his voice but still sounded excited, “Master, the queen is here, she…”
Before he could finish, Xiao Nanye had already darted past him.
Watching Xiao Nanye’s departing figure, Han Feng was stunned.
It took Jiang Changbai a few seconds to react, grabbing Han Feng, “Did you just say Huan Er is here?”
“Indeed, the guards mentioned the queen. It could only be her.”
As Jiang Peihuan sat in her carriage waiting, she suddenly heard the city gates opening, “Queen, King Cheng is here.”
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan lifted the curtain of the carriage.
She immediately saw Xiao Nanye on his horse, their eyes meeting, full of emotion.
“Huan Er?”
Seeing Xiao Nanye, a smile appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.
But before she could speak, Xiao Nanye’s expression changed, “Why are you in An Zhou? It’s dangerous here. Go back to the capital immediately.”
Then, turning to Ye Xiao, he ordered, “Take the queen back.”
Ye Xiao remained still, looking towards Jiang Peihuan for guidance.
Jiang Peihuan frowned and responded, “Xiao Nanye, I’m not here for you, but for the citizens.”
“I learned medicine to save lives.”
At this moment, Jiang Peihuan was grateful that she had learned medicine in her previous life to save Xiao Junhao.
Thus, in this life, she could save even more people.
“King Cheng, our journey was rough. Let’s continue this discussion inside.”
This was said by Rong Mo.
A moment later, they moved towards the city. As Jiang Peihuan entered, she saw Jiang Changbai rushing towards them.
“Huan Er?”
“Elder brother.”
The siblings met with smiles in their eyes.
“Xiao Nanye, I’d like to visit the army first..”
