His heart was beating violently, and it was beating very hard. I stretched out my hand to support his chest, and my long fingertips seemed to be able to feel his heartbeat under that strong chest, one after another, as if to

Burst out that strong chest.

He looked down at me, with no expression on his face and no warmth in his tone. He just asked: "Didn't you sleep well?"

"..."

"Then just sleep a little longer."

After saying that, he let me go without hesitation and stood up.

That's what I said, but I hadn't forgotten my identity. Of course, I couldn't sleep for a while after he got up. I hurriedly got up and helped him wash up. The two of them didn't speak until he finished washing up, and then hurriedly left.

I left the room to go out to do errands, opened the door and was about to walk out, I stepped forward and said: "Your Highness."

"Huh?" He looked back at me.

"Slave, can I go out for a while today?"

"Where are you going?"

"I would like to visit the place where victims of the disaster gather. I would like to help you."

He glanced at me and didn't say anything. He just said "Come back soon", then turned and left.

With his permission, I didn't have too many scruples. No one stopped me even when I was leaving the gate of the state capital. But as soon as I stepped out of the gate, two people followed me. I looked back at the two dressed in confusion.

Ordinary tall and thin man: "You two are——"

"The girl can just leave. We are ordered to protect the girl."

"Ah?" I was puzzled. My identity is just that of a little palace maid. I don't need anyone to protect me when I go out. But when I asked them, they just said calmly: "That's what the above said, girls don't need to worry about us."

."

I understand. It seems that Pei Yuanhao is not completely at ease with the people at Huisheng Pharmacy.

However, he would actually send someone to protect me - just thinking about this made my heart beat again. Even if I couldn't see it, I could feel the heat on my cheeks. The two people looked at me strangely.

I quickly lowered my head, turned around and walked outside.

Along the way, even if the wind was blowing and the snow was cold, the temperature on my face and heart never cooled down.

But when you get to the south of the city, everything is different.

From a distance, I heard bursts of wailing, and the cold air was filled with a rotten stench full of lifeless energy, which made people feel sick. When I got closer, I saw the victims huddled under the corner in the dilapidated temple.

All of them are still sallow, skinny, and haggard. No matter where they look, their cloudy eyes are empty, like a bottomless pit.

Seeing the sluggish appearance of these people, I felt uncomfortable. As soon as I walked over, some petty officials sent here by the state capital and a few soldiers to maintain order saw me.

They came up and bowed their hands towards me: "Miss Yue, you are here."

I was still a little curious about how they knew me. When I thought about the scene yesterday when Pei Yuanhao held me on the horse, I was afraid that not only them, but also there were fewer people in Yangzhou who didn't know me. I blushed and nodded towards them:

"Everyone is lucky, do you want my help?"

"No, no, no, how dare you trouble the girl."

Just as he was talking, there was a smell of rice porridge in the air. It turned out that the porridge factory in front was about to open. Porridge was boiling in a huge iron pot. As soon as he smelled the smell, everyone around him opened his eyes.
