Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Unlike Dong Jiafu, Cui Qiyan frowned after hearing what Daniu said, "Those people are talking nonsense. We are here to help you. The court has not given up on you. If you are injured or sick, you must treat it. Otherwise, why would so many doctors and medical doctors come here without caring about their own health?"

Daniu hid behind Dong Jiafu in fear.

"The prince scared Daniu. How could a child like him understand what you said?" Dong Jiafu leaned down to comfort Daniu, "Don't be afraid. I'm not talking about you. But you have to trust me. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."

Dong Jiafu held out her little finger and said, "We made a promise."

Daniu finally smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I just applied the medicine. Don't run around. Go back and rest."

Dong Jiafu watched Daniu return to the tent.

Seeing her being so gentle to a child, Cui Qiyan cleared his throat and said, "The child's parents are the same. They didn't care even though the child was injured like this. Could it be that they have the same idea as those people?"

"He has no parents anymore." Dong Jiafu withdrew her gaze.

"What?" Cui Qiyan was stunned.

"Daniu's parents are dead, he has experienced floods, and now he has to face the plague. I don't know how many children like him there are."

Cui Qiyan was silent for a moment, "It will definitely get better."

At this time, Lieutenant General Xu came over and said, "Master Cui, your tent is ready. Please go over and see if there is anything missing. I will buy it for you."

Cui Qiyan asked back: "Where is the resting place for Miss Dong?"

"Well..." Lieutenant General Xu looked at Dong Jiafu in embarrassment, "All the people in Jingzhao Prefecture and the Imperial Hospital are men, and Miss Dong is the only woman here today. Most of the disaster victims live together with both men and women, so it's really hard to make arrangements."

"What's the problem? Let her stay at my place."

"Ah?" Lieutenant General Xu's head buzzed.

Dong Jiafu was almost choked, and asked him what he meant with her beautiful almond eyes.

Seeing the reactions of the two, Cui Qi Yan realized that what he had just said was indeed easy to arouse people's imagination.

"Miss Dong, stay in my tent. I'll go somewhere else."

Lieutenant General Xu, who had already begun to unconsciously speculate about the relationship between the two, suddenly had all those thoughts in his mind dissipated.

Lord Cui had a serious look on his face, and he was just sympathetic to the inconvenience of Miss Dong being alone. What was he thinking?

Lieutenant General Xu regained his righteous look and said, "Sir, please give the tent to Miss Dong. We can't let you live with so many people. Otherwise, I will have someone build another tent for you."

"No, that's against military regulations. And if we add another one, people who don't know will think it's prepared for Miss Dong alone."

There is limited space in the camp, and even Chen Yuanshi lives with other imperial physicians. Although Miss Dong is a woman, it will indeed attract criticism if a tent is specially prepared for her.

"Your Excellency is very considerate. I will arrange a tent with fewer people for you."

"Thank you."

Lieutenant General Xu went back to rearrange the arrangements, and Dong Jiafu said, "Your Highness, you don't have to give up your tent for me."

"If not, will you be asked to live with your brothers or with those disaster victims?" Cui Qi Yan couldn't accept it just by thinking about it.

"The situation is special now. It's okay to live with my brothers. We can just use something to separate them."

Seeing that she didn't care about this matter, Cui Qiyan's dark eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he approached her and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't care, then I don't need to look for other places..."

"No--" As he approached, Dong Jiafu felt as if the air around her was taken away by him.

"Why can't I?"

"It's because it's you that's not possible!"

The two men stared at each other until Tan Hao came over.

"Ms. Dong, Mr. Cui, what happened to you two? Did you have a fight?" Tan Hao noticed that something was wrong with their faces.

Dong Jiafu quickly turned around and said casually, "No, let's discuss something."

Tan Hao was suspicious. They didn't look like they were discussing something.

"Brother, are you done with your work?" Dong Jiafu asked immediately.

"Oh, it's packed with some herbal medicines for daily prevention. Where's the injured child you mentioned?" Tan Hao didn't see anyone.

"After bandaging his wound, let him go back to rest."

"It's getting dark, you shouldn't stay outside." Tan Hao also thought about the issue they had just argued about. "By the way, where did they arrange for you to stay?"

Dong Jiafu secretly glanced at Cui Qiyan who was still frowning, "Prince Cui is a man of high character. He saw that it was inconvenient for a woman like me, so he gave up his tent to me."

Cui Qi Yan's eyes narrowed. This woman's expression changed so quickly. She was stubborn just now, but now she has said something decisive.

Tan Hao's face lit up with joy. "That's great. I was worried about this. Thank you, Mr. Cui."

Cui Qi Yan nodded slightly and said nothing.

The meal in the evening was similar to that in the afternoon. After the meal, Chen Yuanshi asked them to rest early tonight because he would take them to see the victims infected with the plague tomorrow.

Dong Jiafu entered the tent originally prepared for Cui Qiyan.

The tent was not big, but in this environment, it was a luxury to have a separate place to live. There were tables and chairs inside, as well as a bed, and behind the screen was a place to take a shower.

Just because she could take a shower, Dong Jiafu felt that she shouldn't have been stubborn at the time.

Dong Jiafu didn't sleep well that night, so she got up early the next day to fetch water.

On the way to the well, Dong Jiafu ran into Cui Qiyan again. She was not confident enough and asked, "Where did the prince rest last night?"

"Follow Dean Chen and his men."

Dong Jiafu laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness."

"Didn't you sleep well?" Cui Qi Yan noticed her eyes.

"How could that be? Thanks to the prince, I slept well in the best accommodation in the camp." Dong Jiafu cheered herself up to make her words more convincing.

"Today you will be in contact with those infected with the plague, so please be careful."

"I will."

Cui Qiyan saw that she had tied all her hair up, with nothing on her head except a silver hairpin, and covered her face with silk cloth, which was clean and neat, yet could not hide her beauty. She was wearing the clothes given by the Imperial Hospital, which were men's sizes and were very loose on her.

In order to make it easier to work, she tightened her sleeves and trouser legs, and wrapped a few layers of coarse cloth around her waist, making her waist look even slimmer.

"If the clothes don't fit, I'll have them remade for you."

Dong Jiafu looked down and said, "I came here suddenly, and the Imperial Hospital didn't prepare anything. It's okay to wear it like this, so don't cause trouble for others."

"Don't worry about it. Do you need me to fetch you some water?"

"No, I can fight myself. I used to do this when I was in Linqing County. Prince, go ahead and do your work."

Dong Jiafu's words were unintentional, but Cui Qi Yan took them to heart. During that period, she had to do everything by herself, and she must have suffered a lot.

Seeing that he didn't know what he was thinking, Dong Jiafu pointed to the front and said, "Then I'll go over first."
