“Thank you for taking care of Jiuyue these few days, Elder Huang.”
“Greetings, Prince Zhan Yun. It’s my duty to take care of Young Master.”
Elder Huang regained his serious expression. He nodded at Qian Jiyun before looking at An Jiuyue.
“Young Master, are you bringing Prince Zhan Yun into the Autumn Water Courtyard?”
“Mhm.” An Jiuyue nodded and glanced at Qian Jiyun.!!
“Elder Huang, please prepare a bath. Jiyun must be tired after hurrying here from the military camp. He needs to wash up and rest for a while.”
“Yes, Young Master,” Elder Huang replied.
“Let’s go.”
An Jiuyue pulled Qian Jiyun, and they walked past Elder Huang towards the Autumn Water Courtyard.
As An Jiuyue pulled Qian Jiyun away, he turned around to look at Elder Huang’s back. He seemed like an ordinary elderly man on the surface, but Qian Jiyun could tell there was more to him based on his gait and aura.
Elder Huang’s aura changed when he discovered he was Prince Zhan Yun.
How do I put this? He treated me respectfully as a servant when he thought I was Jiuyue’s friend. But when he heard my name, he immediately had this inviolable aura. It’s as if he’s my equal.
There are not many people like this at the border. Shen Yan and the other chiefs fall into this category, and Prince Lei Ting… is barely included in this group.
But now, even an old butler has this type of aura?
…
A servant served them tea and snacks as soon as they entered the Autumn Water Courtyard.
“Young Master, Prince Zhan Yun, please enjoy your tea.” The servant then left, leaving An Jiuyue and Qian Jiyun alone.
“Why did you come here?” An Jiuyue asked Qian Jiyun after the servant left.
She did not believe that nothing was going on in the military camp. It must be a lie. Who would dare neglect an epidemic?
Qian Jiyun looked at her deeply and replied, “Something came up.”
He could not possibly tell her he hurriedly settled the matters in the camp because he was worried about her being alone outside.
However, Shen Yan and the other two chiefs found a good excuse for him.
“Didn’t you give some medicinal herbs to the people from the 18 Stockaded Villages? Their chiefs, Shen Yan, Er Ning, and Ai Qi, came to see you.”
“They came?” An Jiuyue raised her eyebrows. She was not surprised to hear that.
Shen Yan and the others were probably anxious to see her because they guessed who she was.
“Yes, they seem to be here to see you specifically.”
Qian Jiyun looked into her eyes seriously and nodded. He picked up his teacup and took a sip before continuing.
“However, the epidemic in the 11th Village is also extremely serious. They don’t have a prescription for treating the epidemic yet. I didn’t have the chance to give it to them because of Prince Lei Ting’s interference.”
“What?!” An Jiuyue was genuinely shocked.
She thought the 18 Stockaded Villages would at least have the prescription she had given Qian Jiyun previously. Hence, she decided to come here to develop an antidote for the poison. She did not expect…
“Send for Elder Huang!”
Ignoring the fact that Qian Jiyun was right in front of her, she immediately instructed the people outside the door to find Elder Huang.
“Yes, Young Master.”
The servant outside immediately replied and rushed out to look for Elder Huang.
“Jiuyue, what are you…”
Qian Jiyun looked at her with confusion.
What’s the relationship between my wife and the 18 Stockaded Villages? When did they meet? Did they meet in the past five years?
