Chapter 442: Too Tight to Handle
He is the ruler who looks down upon the world!
The power of life and death is held by him alone!
Everyone is like an ant in front of him.
Is such an emperor really worthy of sitting on the throne?
Suddenly, there was a sound of orderly footsteps outside.
"Tianxi, what happened outside?" Xiao Yan'an shouted outside.
"Prince, it's the governor of Funing County." Tianxi replied immediately.
"Prince, lie down first. I'll go out and see what happened."
When Ji Chuhe walked outside the post station, he saw the governor of Funing County directing his men to line up outside the post station.
As soon as he saw Ji Chuhe, the Funing County Magistrate immediately walked towards her.
"Madam, I have assigned some people to guard the post station to protect the safety of the prince and his wife. The prince and his wife are of noble status, and no mistakes can be made."
"The Funing County Magistrate is the most thoughtful one." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"Your Highness, just stay in the inn and take care of yourself. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay." Ji Chuhe nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help."
"You are too polite, Madam Crown Prince. It is my duty to protect the Crown Prince's safety!"
The Magistrate of Funing County was in his forties, with white hair on his temples and a long beard. Compared with the other county magistrates, he looked thinner and more like a scholar. However, he was actually a legitimate military general.
He also had military merits, and these were made when the emperor was fighting for the throne.
With such ability, he can definitely work in the imperial capital.
I don't know why he was willing to stay in Funing as a county magistrate instead of going to the imperial capital to fight for his place.
When Ji Chuhe returned to the house, Xiao Yan'an immediately went to greet her.
"Ma'am, what happened outside?"
"The governor of Funing County sent some people to protect us."
"Is it protection or surveillance?" Xiao Yan'an is now very vigilant and will not trust anyone easily.
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be nervous, Prince, it is indeed protection."
"Madam, don't be careless." Xiao Yan'an warned, "Like you said, we must be on guard."
"Your Highness is right." Ji Chuhe nodded in agreement, "It's getting late, Your Highness should go to bed early."
"Madam, you should also go to bed early." Xiao Yan'an sent Ji Chuhe out.
Ji Chuhe's room is right next to Xiao Yan'an.
There was only one big room here, and Xiao Yan'an gave it to Ji Chuhe to live in, while he lived in the side room.
As soon as Ji Chuhe returned to the room, Rong Song came to report.
"Madam, the governor of Funing County has sent a total of thirty people to guard outside the posthouse. They are divided into three shifts to take turns on duty. If there is any danger, the guards patrolling the streets nearby can rush to rescue in an incense stick of time. I just observed secretly, and these guards seem to be trained, not ordinary guards."
"The governor of Funing County made such an arrangement. It seems that he really wants to protect us."
"Well, with this layer of protection, it will be difficult for those who want to attack the prince to do so."
"This is just the beginning."
……
The governor of Qutan County is staying in an inn in the city and will leave early tomorrow morning.
Suddenly, a black figure jumped in from the window.
The governor of Qutan County immediately sat up from the bed.
"How is it? Is there a chance to do it?"
"Sir, the governor of Funing County has suddenly sent more people to surround the posthouse to protect the prince's safety. It is not easy for us to take action, and even if we do, we have no chance of winning."
"This Funing County Magistrate was actually fooled by Xiao Yan'an and even protected Xiao Yan'an. Isn't he afraid that he will be the one to bear the blame in the end?"
"Sir, what should we do next? Are we going to attack Xiao Yan'an again?"
"Not yet. I wonder how long Xiao Yanan can hide!"
……
The governor of Funing County came to visit Xiao Yan'an in the morning and brought a pot of homemade wine.
"Funing County Magistrate, this prince is still ill, what do you mean by bringing a pot of wine?"
"You can have a taste after your son recovers from his illness. Even though I brewed it myself, the taste is not inferior to those fine wines."
"I will definitely give it a try when I recover. County Magistrate, is the porridge distribution going well today?"
"Everything is normal. The prince is right. We can't just rely on these disaster relief supplies. We have to rely on ourselves to survive. I organized some young and strong people to go up the mountains and down the rivers to find food, hunt, fish, and dig some wild vegetables. As long as it is edible, we will bring it all back, so that the people can fill their stomachs and survive this difficult time."
The fact that the Funing County Magistrate could say this shows that he also saw through it.
We really can't hold too much hope for subsequent disaster relief supplies.
"Mr. County Magistrate!" A voice suddenly sounded from outside.
"What's the matter?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince and Lord Jing will be entering the city soon."
"I see."
The governor of Funing County turned around and looked at Xiao Yan'an, "Your Highness, the Third Prince has arrived. I will go and greet him first."
"Go ahead. I am too ill to go and greet the Third Prince. I believe he will understand and will not blame me for my impoliteness."
The governor of Funing County had just left for less than an hour.
It became lively outside the inn again.
After the third prince entered the city, he first inspected several porridge stalls, then visited several houses of the people, and then went directly to the inn.
As soon as Ji Chuhe heard the news, he immediately went to greet him.
"Meet His Highness the Third Prince."
"Madam, please don't be polite. I heard that Yan An was ill, so I came to see him. How could he be so seriously ill?"
"I don't know why the prince suddenly fell ill and had a high fever that wouldn't go away." Ji Chuhe looked frightened.
Moreover, it can be seen that her complexion is not good and she looks a little haggard.
"What's the situation now?" the third prince asked immediately.
"The high fever has subsided now, but I feel weak all over. I feel very weak."
"I'll go see him." The third prince immediately walked into the house.
Xiao Yan'an was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he had not woken up yet.
The third prince held Xiao Yan'an's hand and placed it under the blanket. This action seemed to be caring for Xiao Yan'an, but in fact he was taking Xiao Yan'an's pulse.
Xiao Yanan's pulse was indeed weak, but also a little strange.
After all, he was not a doctor, so he could not accurately judge what disease Xiao Yanan had.
Xiao Yanan’s illness was not fake?
"Cough cough!" Xiao Yan'an suddenly coughed and woke up.
Ji Chuhe hurriedly stayed by the bed and comforted Xiao Yan's chest.
Xiao Yan'an coughed again and almost passed out.
I finally caught my breath and lay on the bed, barely breathing.
"Prince, the Third Prince is here to see you." Ji Chuhe said softly.
"Your Highness?" Xiao Yan'an immediately turned around, and when he saw the Third Prince clearly, he immediately struggled to stand up, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
"No need to be so polite, just lie down quickly." The third prince quickly helped Xiao Yan'an lie down.
