The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Xiao Mingzhang kept traveling day and night and reached the epidemic area in the shortest time.

But the city has been closed for a long time, and all entrances and exits require government authorization. Except for the transportation of materials, no one is allowed in or out.

Xiao Mingzhang and his party were dusty and dressed in extremely simple clothes. No one knew that the regent was coming. They only thought that he was a hurried traveler. The soldiers guarding the city blocked his way.

"You can't move forward without cards in your hand."

Xiao Mingzhang remained silent, but the subordinates who followed him had a straight face, wanting to teach the soldier a lesson, but Xiao Mingzhang stopped him with his eyes. He did his duty faithfully and did nothing wrong. What position and right do you have to accuse him?
The subordinate immediately retreated knowingly, and no one dared to go against the regent at this moment.

Xiao Mingzhang did not argue with the soldier, but led the people straight to the government office. He could only ask them for the cards to enter the city.

The government office here is extremely deserted. No one wants to enter the epidemic area, so it can be described as a deserted place. Only people transporting supplies will come in and out.

When Xiao Mingzhang arrived, he saw such a deserted scene. He stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at the subordinate beside him. The other party immediately went in and asked for the hand card for entering the city.

While he was waiting anxiously with his hands behind his back, he unexpectedly saw Bo Qingya, who was in poor health, walking out with his parents.

Bo Qingya said anxiously, "My sworn sister has contracted the epidemic. Sir, I am very worried. Please give me a card to allow me to enter the city, otherwise I will be anxious and restless here..."

But the adult waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Mr. Bo, it's not that I won't facilitate you, it's just that the people from Lord Zhong's side said that I can't pass your cards because you are weak and the epidemic inside has not been controlled yet. , you will only die if you go in..."

This Mr. Bo is a member of the Gu family. He has sent food, medicine, clothing and other urgently needed items to the affected areas. He can be said to be a great philanthropist. If Lord Zhong hadn't given the death order, he wouldn't have wanted to offend others.

Bo Qingya's face couldn't help but fade. It was probably because his adopted sister asked Zhong Shiming to give the order. She stopped him from risking his life, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead in the epidemic area. How could he feel at ease?
No, he is trying every means to get into the epidemic area. How can he give up until he sees that she is well?
No longer quarreling with the parents and officials in this city, he cupped his hands and turned around to leave and think of a solution. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a haggard but serious Xiao Mingzhang.

Suddenly seeing someone who could not possibly appear here, he couldn't help but froze in place in shock.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses and stepped forward to greet Xiao Mingzhang, "I have met the prince."

Xiao Mingzhang nodded and said hello to Bo Qingya.

The local parents standing aside were surprised when they heard Bo Qingya call this man in ordinary clothes but extraordinary bearing as prince. He wondered what kind of prince this was?
Anyway, it is impossible for him to be the regent. This is the outskirts of the epidemic area. It is impossible for someone with such power to appear here. No matter how much he cares about the people, he cannot risk his life.

I couldn't figure out Xiao Mingzhang's identity for a while, so I couldn't make up my mind, so I simply pretended not to hear him, so as not to get into trouble like King Yu before.

But Bo Qingya's head was buzzing. Xiao Mingzhang would appear here for only one purpose, and that was for his adopted sister.

He could tell that Xiao Mingzhang liked Gu Deyin very much, but he didn't expect that he would like her to such an extent. All kinds of feelings came to his heart for a while.

He believed that besides his adoptive father, he loved Gu Deyin the most, but now he discovered that there was another man who loved her as much as him.

This made the secret sense of superiority in his heart disappear. It turned out that he was really not unique.

When the scene was quiet and a little awkward, the lower-level county magistrate in the official office personally escorted Xiao Mingzhang's subordinates out. The way he nodded and bowed was a bit funny no matter how you looked at it.

But Xiao Mingzhang's subordinates turned a blind eye. He was an official from the capital and was not comparable to these low-level officials.

When he arrived in front of Xiao Mingzhang, he immediately presented the cards in his hand.

Xiao Mingzhang reached out and picked it up without looking, turned around and immediately mounted his horse, preparing to set off for the city.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Bo Qingya took a few steps forward and grabbed the reins of his horse. When he saw Xiao Mingzhang looking at him unkindly, he quickly said, "My lord, you must bring her back safely, please."

This was the first time that he really lowered his head. Now that Xiao Mingzhang is here, Gu Deyin must want to see him the most.

Xiao Mingzhang sneered, "She is my woman, I will definitely bring her back safely without your asking."

It's time for Bo Qingya to correct his position. Brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters, and this relationship will never change.

He stopped talking too much. At this time, he didn't want to waste any time on this unimportant matter. When Bo Qingya let go of the horse's reins with a pale face, he immediately raised his whip to urge the horse forward.

The sound of horse hooves brought up a cloud of dust.

Bo Qingya did not avoid it. When the dust started to rise, he began to cough uncontrollably. He wanted to use such pain to cover up the pain in his heart.

The local official standing aside opened his eyes wide after hearing the county magistrate's secret report. He had realized what kind of opportunity he had missed. He was really a high-ranking official from the capital, and he was also a prince. Do what others want.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran to catch up, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I haven't reported to you yet..."

It's a pity that no matter how much he calls, he can only eat dust.

Xiao Mingzhang put all this behind his mind, and with the cards in his hand, he entered the city as quickly as possible. Zhong Jinming in the city had already led his people to wait here. He had obviously received the news. He didn't need to think about it, he knew that it must have been his sister who had revealed the news.

Zhong Shiming stepped forward to greet Xiao Mingzhang, and then couldn't help but said in a serious tone, "My lord, you shouldn't have come."

People are dying here every day, and everyone wants to escape, but how could the always shrewd prince be so confused?
It's not worth it for a woman.

Gu Deyin is good, but there are not many women in the world who are better than Gu Deyin, so there is no need to risk her life.

Xiao Mingzhang didn't want to talk too much nonsense with him. He didn't even ask how the epidemic was, but asked directly, "Where is she?"

Zhong Shiming sighed. He was most afraid of the old house catching fire, so he had no choice but to say truthfully, "Miss Gu's condition has not stabilized yet. She is currently in isolation. Why don't the prince go and rest for a while? It won't be too late to see Miss Gu again." …”

It can be delayed for a while. At least when the situation with Gu Deyin stabilizes, it will be much safer for Xiao Mingzhang to visit her again.

He is from Xiao Mingzhang's faction, so naturally he doesn't want to see anything happen to Xiao Mingzhang, otherwise Princess Yuanjia alone cannot support the overall situation. She is not qualified enough, and she is a woman. She will not be able to compete with the Little Emperor's faction in the future. .

"I just want to know where she is?"

Xiao Mingzhang interrupted him unhappily and asked in an aggravated tone. Obviously Zhong Shiming's answer could no longer satisfy him, and he didn't mind giving him an unforgettable lesson.

Zhong Shiming was stunned for a moment. The way he was so angry at his beauty was really an eyesore. When had the prince ever been so comatose?

Xiao Mingzhang could see through the thoughts of the person in front of him at a glance, and said patiently: "I always only consider the overall situation, but this time, I want to be selfish."

Zhong Shiming was shocked when he heard what he said. Even the princess stopped Xiao Mingzhang, so how could he stop her?
Forget it, he didn't stop Xiao Mingzhang anymore, but took Xiao Mingzhang to see Gu Deyin personally.

Along the way, everyone looked depressed, but order was maintained well, which showed that Zhong Shiming was serious about his work, and Xiao Mingzhang was quite satisfied with his performance.

No matter how worried he was about Gu Deyin, he still did his duty as a superior and asked about the current situation.

Only then did Zhong Shiming feel that the familiar regent was back. He had a calm attitude and reported the situation in the epidemic area one by one as he had done in the past.

In the end, he concluded, "This disaster and the epidemic have all contributed greatly to the money and efforts of Gujia Commercial Bank, so the work of Xiaguan can proceed so smoothly."

Even if he encounters some troubles, he can always turn them into good fortunes, and this is all thanks to Gu Deyin.

Xiao Mingzhang nodded. After this incident, it would be natural to reward the Gu family.

Finally arriving at the door of the isolation area, Zhong Shiming was about to lead Xiao Mingzhang in, but Xiao Mingzhang waved his hand, "You stay, I will just go in with the imperial doctor."

He didn't want to frighten other people, and he didn't want to drag so many people with him to take the risk. This matter was his personal matter.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhong Shiming wanted to give some advice, but Xiao Mingzhang waved his hand and said, "I order you to wait outside and continue to do your errands."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Shiming had no choice but to salute and respond.

Xiao Mingzhang took the imperial doctor directly into the quarantine area. The inside was a bit more desolate than the outside, but fortunately the arrangements were done properly and the order did not get out of control.

Someone led the way, and he quickly arrived at Gu Deyin's isolation ward.

At a glance, he saw Hua Shu and Hua Chao waiting outside the door. He was sure that Gu Deyin was inside. Eager to see her heart beating fast, he rushed forward with a lunge.

Huashu turned around and saw someone who could not appear here. She screamed, "Your Majesty?"

Hua Chao heard this and looked back eagerly. It was really Xiao Mingzhang, he... why was he here?

Xiao Mingzhang did not answer, but pushed the door open and was about to go in, but Hua Shu and Hua Chao stopped him.

"Your Majesty, the girl won't let anyone in, so you'd better not go in..."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xiu'er is giving medicine to the girl inside. As long as the medicine is mixed correctly this time, the girl's condition will improve..."

Xiao Mingzhang turned a deaf ear and opened the door directly. The light shone into the room and he stepped in directly.

Hua Shu and Hua Chao looked at each other. At this moment, they no longer doubted Xiao Mingzhang's feelings for Gu Deyin. If this is not true, then what else is true? (End of chapter)
