Chapter 1007: Chapter 1008: We Won’t Ignore You

An Jing immediately rebuked, ”What are you doing? You are in such a state, lie down quickly!”

Seeing that Meng Zhuqing obediently lay down, An Jing then instructed Qin Yi, ”Go fetch some ice and bring some medicinal soup as well.”

”Yes!” Qin Yi immediately turned around to comply.

Meng Zhuqing expressed his thanks, ”Thank you, madam.”

”You rest well, we will not abandon you,” An Jing said.

Meng Zhuqing’s throat choked up, painfully stifled, unable to utter another word.

Xiao Changyi didn’t say anything, just walked to the bedside, gently patted Meng Zhuqing’s shoulder, then turned and walked towards the door.

Meng Zhuqing’s throat felt even more choked up. He had always known, he always knew that their lord and lady would never abandon him... he always knew...

”We and your lord still have to distribute the medicinal soup, and we can’t delay this. When Qin Yi brings the soup, you must drink it.”

Seeing Meng Zhuqing nod, An Jing then turned and also walked outside.

Xiao Changyi was waiting for her at the doorway.

With Meng Zhuqing contracting the epidemic, it made them even more aware that they themselves might be the next to fall ill—the mood of both Xiao Changyi and An Jing was extremely grave.

”Husband, let’s go. The villagers are still waiting.”

At this time of the day, they would go out to distribute epidemic-prevention medicinal soup to the villagers in Nanshen City who hadn’t yet caught the epidemic, and it was also the time when the villagers would come out to collect the soup to drink.

”Mmm,” Xiao Changyi responded, and together with An Jing, they walked towards the outside of the royal residence, but they had only taken a few steps before Tobanya blocked their path, even kneeling before them.

”Wild Goose Jade, what are you doing? Get up quickly!” An Jing tried to help Tobanya up, but she refused to rise.

Xiao Changyi, not wanting to delay the villagers from getting the medicine, ordered Qin Er and Qin San to go ahead and distribute the soup in the city.

”It was Wild Goose Jade who caused Vice General Meng to contract the epidemic. Wild Goose Jade’s great revenge was avenged, and Vice General Meng also helped Wild Goose Jade a lot. Filled with guilt and gratitude, Wild Goose Jade begs the Prince and Princess to allow Wild Goose Jade to take care of Vice General Meng, hoping for their blessing!” Tobanya said.

Listening that it was Wild Goose Jade who had caused Meng Zhuqing to contract the epidemic left An Jing and Xiao Changyi somewhat puzzled. After exchanging glances, it was An Jing who asked, ”The epidemic is rampant in Nanshen City, anyone here could catch the epidemic, how can you say it was your doing?”

”Four days ago, Wild Goose Jade’s sachet was lost, and it was Vice General Meng who gave his sachet to Wild Goose Jade, while Vice General Meng did not carry any sachet and wandered outside for a whole day,” Tobanya replied.

An Jing understood, but added, ”But that doesn’t necessarily mean he contracted the epidemic that day. Moreover, the sachet’s contents aren’t guaranteed to prevent contracting the epidemic instantly.”

”Wild Goose Jade feels it was that day.” Tobanya, kneeling there, cold and proud, with a straight back, each word resonating with deep insistence and determination.

So it was clear she wanted to take care of Meng Zhuqing, right?

Both An Jing and Xiao Changyi understood Tobanya’s intentions, so they didn’t ask further. Since she wanted to take care, they would just let her do so, especially since Meng Zhuqing indeed needed someone to care for him.

Then, An Jing said, ”Then care for him if you wish.”

”Thank you, Prince and Princess,” Tobanya finally agreed to rise.

An Jing looked at Tobanya, sighed at her first, and then she and Xiao Changyi walked away.

Only after An Jing and Xiao Changyi disappeared from sight did Tobanya move to the entrance of Meng Zhuqing’s room.
