Seeing that he was not someone to be trifled with, the victims automatically made way for Ji Bai wherever he went, staring at the unsheathed knife at his waist. They dared not shout anymore and obediently went to line up.

The people surrounding Meng Dong dispersed, and she was finally able to catch her breath.

At this time, Ji Bai walked out from the crowd with a kind of aloofness. This scene fell into Meng Dong's eyes and made her slightly dazed.

"Hey, why are you in a daze? Are you scared by this little scene?" Ji Bai stretched out his hand and waved in front of her.

Meng Dong slapped his hand away, his eyes dodging, "Who's scared? I'm not."

"That's good. Seeing you like that just now, I thought you were scared." Ji Bai looked at her, "You weren't hurt by those people, were you? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away. Don't try to be stubborn."

"I understand. Why are you so long-winded?" Meng Dong said impatiently.

"I'm just worried about you." Ji Bai blurted out.

Meng Dong's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He didn't know where to look for a moment, so he asked casually, "Why are you here?"

Without waiting for Ji Bai's answer, she suddenly remembered something and stood on tiptoe nervously to look around.

"Afu just came over, I don't know if she was hit..."

Ji Bai said faintly: "Don't worry, with the prince here, Miss Dong will be fine."

Meng Dong stepped on his heels when he heard this, "The prince is here too?"

"Otherwise, the prince heard that Miss Dong was providing free medical treatment to the victims here, so he rushed over as soon as he finished his work. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise you two weak women would not be able to calm so many agitated victims."

"Who could have thought that so many people would come at once, and none of them would listen to advice. Fortunately, I have your help, otherwise there would be a big mess." Meng Dong said with lingering fear.

It was rare for Ji Bai to feel relied upon in front of her. He patted his chest and assured her, "With me here, these people will definitely be obedient. Let's see who dares to cause trouble."

Meng Dong looked ahead and saw Dong Jiafu and the tall Cui Qiyan who separated her from the victims.

After confirming that Dong Jiafu was fine, Meng Dong felt relieved and worked with Ji Bai to maintain order in the team.

Cui Qiyan sent Dong Jiafu back to the table and continued to treat patients.

When he saw him, Tan Hao immediately stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Cui, why are you here?"

"I just came to take a look. You don't have to worry about me. Just do your own thing." Cui Qi Yan stood not far from Dong Jiafu with his arms folded across his chest.

"Alas," Tan Hao sat back in confusion and asked Dong Jiafu in a low voice, "Miss Dong, nothing happened just now, right? After you went there, the disaster victims really stopped making trouble. You must have a solution."

Dong Jiafu shook her head. "This is not my credit. They are afraid of someone else."

Tan Hao couldn't help but glance at Cui Qiyan who was standing there like a god, and immediately understood.

The subsequent diagnosis and treatment went smoothly. Patients came one after another, and Dong Jiafu and Tan Hao didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

It was not until it was completely dark that the two men finally finished treating all the victims who came to see the doctor.

Doctor Tan and Tan Hao came out to help after they finished their work at the clinic.

"Dong, you must be tired. Drink some water and take a rest." Doctor Tan brought some water to Dong Jiafu.

"Thank you, Master." Dong Jiafu was tired and thirsty. She took the bowl and drank all the water in it in one breath.

Tan Hao also drank some water and then started packing up.

Today, with the help of Cui Qi Yan and Ji Bai, they quickly moved the things back to the clinic.

After being busy for a whole day, they were finally able to sit down and talk quietly.

Cui Qiyan said, "It's not a long-term solution for you to provide free medical treatment to the disaster victims. The number of people coming to see the doctor is increasing day by day, and you simply can't take care of them all. If there is another riot like today, and no one is there to deter them, I'm afraid you will get hurt."

"There are still herbs for their treatment. If this continues, Hui'an Hall will run out of herbs in a few days and won't be able to hold on."

Doctor Tan stroked his beard and nodded in agreement. "Mr. Cui is right. I didn't think too much when I decided to hold the free clinic. Now it seems that this is not a solution. But now the victims all know that Hui'an Hall is providing free clinics. If it suddenly stops, it would not be appropriate."

Cui Qiyan pondered for a moment and said, "I will ask His Majesty to set up a temporary clinic in the place where the disaster victims are resettled. Let the Imperial Hospital and doctors like you who want to contribute go there to treat the disaster victims. All the medicines will be provided by the court."

"It would be best if that were the case," said Doctor Tan.

Cui Qiyan stood up and said, "It's getting late, everyone should go home quickly."

Doctor Tan glanced outside the door and told Tan Hao, "It's getting dark, take Miss Dong back home."

“No need,” Cui Qiyan said immediately, “I’ll take you there, it’s on my way.”

"This..." Tan Hao turned his gaze to Dong Jiafu and asked what she meant.

"Don't bother, I can go home by myself." Dong Jiafu declined.

Cui Qiyan said, "There are too many refugees in the capital now. It's not safe for a woman like you to walk on the road at night."

"Yes, Miss Dong, we are worried about you going alone." Tan Hao echoed.

"Before I came, I went to your second brother's place. He and your mother were too busy to spare time. Knowing that I was coming, they asked me to escort you home. I promised, and I can't break my promise."

Dong Jiafu hadn't expected this to happen. Thinking of Meng Dong being there, she said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Prince."

"Let's go." Cui Qi Yan turned and walked out.

Dong Jiafu followed him out of the clinic and looked everywhere but didn't see Meng Dong.

"Why can't I see Meng Dong?"

"I asked her to go back to the Duke's Mansion with Ji Bai first." Cui Qiyan led the horse over, patted the saddle and said to her, "Get on."

They all left? So it was just her and Cui Qiyan on the way back? And there was only one horse. This was not what Dong Jiafu had imagined at first.

"I can't ride a horse, and it's not appropriate to ride with the prince. Why don't I hire a carriage and go back by myself?"

Cui Qiyan smiled softly, "Who said I want to ride with you? Besides, it's so late, and we can't hire a carriage."

It was just as he said, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Dong Jiafu was embarrassed, but fortunately it was dark, so he should not be able to see the expression on her face.

"What does the prince mean?"

"Come up, I'll take the horse and take you there."

"How can I let the prince hold the horse for me? This is not possible." Dong Jiafu waved her hands quickly.

"If you don't get on, we can't ride together. Do we have to leave this horse alone and walk all the way back?"

At this time, the tall horse snorted and its feet made a "clattering" sound on the bluestone road.

Cui Qiyan stroked the horse's head and said, "Look, even it's protesting. You can't let it be useless."

After joking, Cui Qiyan looked at her seriously and said, "Come up, you've been tired all day, you can take a rest right here."

Dong Jiafu walked over, lifted her left foot, and found that the stirrup was too high for her to reach.

Cui Qiyan bent down and stretched out his hand, "Give me your foot."

His hands were huge and looked longer than her feet.

Dong Jiafu put her feet on it hesitantly. In an instant, she felt a force under her feet lifting her up. She followed the force and sat steadily on the horse.

She held the saddle with both hands, lowered her eyes and saw Cui Qi Yan looking up at her and smiling.

Dong Jiafu was slightly stunned. It turned out that he looked so handsome when he smiled, as if the snow on the Tianshan Mountains had melted, revealing the blooming snow lotus underneath.
