The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1081 - 672: An Ning Leaves (Third Update)

"Master, why are you here?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

Wasn’t he sent by His Majesty to deliver a cloak to Ah Li?!

Why did he come here himself again?

"Are you very free?" Xiao Jinxing asked coldly.

"..."

Yes, quite free!

Coming here without any particular task.

The plague has already been contained.

No need to follow so many rules.

Much more comfortable than in the Imperial Palace.

But Xiao Wu can read the Emperor’s mood.

Clearly aware that the Emperor is not happy now, he quickly responded against his own heart, "I’m not free."

"If you’re not free, then go do your work!" Xiao Jinxing commanded.

"...Yes."

Xiao Wu hurriedly left.

The Emperor is becoming more and more domineering!

Ah Li is not even his anyone?! Why does he keep such a close watch?

He even felt that Ah Li quite disliked the Emperor.

Every time the Emperor appeared, Ah Li seemed a bit impatient.

But he dared not say it aloud.

He could only leave dejectedly.

After Xiao Wu left.

An Ning also turned her gaze elsewhere.

She actually wanted to leave too.

But she had to wait for Guan Yu.

She just stood with her back facing Xiao Jinxing, looking quite at ease.

"You’re not cold?" Xiao Jinxing suddenly asked.

An Ning frowned, she turned to look at him and replied, "Not cold."

Saying this, she glanced at the cloak in her hands.

"If you’re cold, sir..."

"I’m not cold," Xiao Jinxing straightforwardly replied.

An Ning picked up the cloak she intended to hand to Xiao Jinxing but put it down again.

"You should boil some medicine to drink yourself." Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke again.

"..." Is this man sick?!

She’s perfectly fine, why drink medicine?

"Feng Xiyun contracted the plague because of catching a cold," Xiao Jinxing explained, "You should be careful too."

"Thank you for your concern, sir, I am very healthy."

"When you slept this afternoon, your hair was not dry," Xiao Jinxing added.

An Ning frowned.

How did he notice her hair was wet when she slept?!

Could it be...

"Ah Li slept for too long, I worried you might suffocate from sleeping, so I came in to take a look," Xiao Jinxing said matter-of-factly.

It’s you who suffocates!

Your entire family suffocates?!

An Ning thought about it.

Then changed her words.

Just you suffocate!

"Next time, be careful not to sleep with wet hair, it might cause a cold," Xiao Jinxing advised.

"Thank you for your concern, sir." An Ning replied again with the same indifferent tone.

Just then.

Guan Yu hurriedly approached, calling out to her, "Master."

An Ning glanced at Guan Yu, then turned to Xiao Jinxing and said, "I’m going to the plague area, I’m taking my leave."

Xiao Jinxing gave no response.

An Ning did not need to wait for his reaction, quietly said to Guan Yu, "Let’s go."

"Yes, master." Guan Yu quickly agreed.

The two turned and left together.

Xiao Jinxing watched their backs as they went further away.

...

For the next few days.

An Ning did not see Xiao Jinxing again.

She even suspected whether Xiao Jinxing had left.

As a ruler, he shouldn’t be so free.

However, even though Xiao Jinxing was absent, the daily meals were punctual and had to be finished, and there were even people specially reminding her to rest and sleep.

Originally thinking that after such labor, this plague might cause her to lose a few pounds.

She felt she might have gained instead.

Finally.

An Ning stretched, having diagnosed all the plague patients, administer medication to them all.

The severely ill patients in critical care had also recovered.

Those with moderate and mild symptoms could leave in at most two days.

An Ning was indeed successful.

She planned to leave this place tonight.

The remaining tasks, if Feng Xiyun hadn’t left, Feng Xiyun could manage them.

Even if Feng Xiyun left, an ordinary doctor could handle it.

"Guan Yu." An Ning moved her stiff body, "We’ll leave here soon."

"Yes." Guan Yu replied respectfully.

After some thought.

Guan Yu suddenly said, "Master, has this place been lifted from quarantine?! If it hasn’t been lifted, we need to inform Master Pang before going."

"Hmm." An Ning nodded, thought again, "Let’s go directly to the city gate and ask someone to report, instead of looking all over for Master Pang now."

"Okay." Guan Yu nodded.

The two quickly packed up.

An Ning came without much, just a medical kit, which was hardly used now; she could leave with the kit.

With a thought.

She took off the cloak she was wearing.

Unexpectedly, it had gotten colder these past few days, and the cloak was quite useful.

"Should we return it to the sir?" Guan Yu observed An Ning’s actions and quickly asked.

"No need, just leave it here, someone will naturally return it to him once seen."

"Oh." Guan Yu felt the lady was unusually resistant to that most powerful official.

After taking off the cloak, An Ning left with Guan Yu.

Being a doctor and having cured all the plague patients, the soldiers in the plague area would not stop An Ning.

An Ning and Guan Yu walked towards the Changmen County gate.

It wasn’t completely unsealed yet.

But the people of Changmen County could now move freely within the county.

An Ning approached an official, "Please, officer, report that I am Doctor Ah Li, here for plague treatment. Now that the plague is under control, I will leave."

Upon hearing An Ning’s name, the officer enthusiastically said, "Doctor Ah Li, thank you. Without you, how could Changmen County control the plague so quickly, and how could the citizens all survive? Thank you, Ah Li."

"The main credit goes to Doctor Feng, she deserves your gratitude." An Ning replied courteously.

"Doctor Ah Li, don’t be so modest, everyone knows you worked hard." The officer quickly said.

An Ning didn’t want to deal with it further.

She straightforwardly said, "Please, officer, let me leave."

"Doctor Ah Li, please wait. Master Pang has instructed that no one can leave Changmen County for the time being. If you want to go, I need to check with the master."

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

The officer quickly sent someone to report.

An Ning and Guan Yu waited at the gate for a while.

After a bit, they heard the sound of hooves.

An Ning looked up, assuming it was the reporting messenger returning.

But when she looked up, she saw Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu hadn’t left yet?!

If he hasn’t left, Xiao Jinxing hasn’t left either?!

In surprise, An Ning saw Xiao Wu quickly dismount and hurriedly approached her, "Ah Li, why did you decide to leave without mentioning anything?! If I hadn’t happened to be with Master Pang today, I wouldn’t have known you were leaving."

"The plague is already controlled, patients have improved, staying here is no longer useful. Moreover, I’ve been away from home for over half a month, I want to return early to see my family." An Ning made up a hastily excuse, then explained, "The masters are so busy, I feared disturbing you all, so I decided to leave directly."
