Cheng Jin also knew Pei Yu's character. He had never interacted with anyone before when he was promoted to be an official. He had always been a loner and only had contact with the Cheng family.

Even if he was later invited out by Cheng Jin, he had not changed, and was even more taciturn than before. He only went back and forth between the palace and his own mansion every day.

People who know his character may admire him for being independent and honest, but there are also many people who slander Pei Yu when they see that he cannot be won over.

Cheng Jin looked at Pei Yu's slightly troubled look and couldn't say no at all.

It was Cheng Jin who invited Pei Yu to serve as an official in the court, and it was Cheng Jin who asked him to take medicine for the people of Qingzhou now. Everything Pei Yu did was inseparable from Cheng Jin, so how could Cheng Jin ignore it.

Cheng Jin smiled slightly and put his hand on Pei Yu's shoulder.

"What are you talking about? I know you are not good at socializing with others, but since I asked you to do it, of course it is me who distributes medicine to the people."

Pei Yu also smiled, "Then I just need to stay with you."

Cheng Jin nodded, "Just follow closely."

The two of them chatted and laughed and arrived outside the city very quickly. After several days of medication, it had no effect, and the people couldn't bear it any longer.

When Cheng Jin went to see them again today, they were not as calm as yesterday. Instead, they were extremely excited when they saw someone coming.

They knew that the people living here did not have an epidemic and were not contagious. However, since they wanted to temporarily hide the truth from those people, Cheng Jin and Pei Yu still took good protective measures before entering the yard.

When the people in the yard saw the people coming in, they thought it was someone from the Tai Hospital, and they all crowded in front of Cheng Jin and Pei Yu.

One of them shouted: "Do you want us to die? The lives of you officials are important, but the lives of us ordinary people are worthless?"

"We've been taking medicine for so many days, but it doesn't work at all? The fever is so severe every day, and today even the medicine hasn't been delivered. Are you planning to ignore us?"

"Since you are here, I don't care what you say, you must bring it to us, and we must live."

"Give us the medicine."

"We are old and young here, how can you be so cruel and just watch us wait to die?"

The crowd pushed Pei Yu and Cheng Jin into a corner without any way out. They kept saying words to each other, but Cheng Jin didn't even have a chance to speak.

Cheng Jin shouted loudly several times, "No, the court has not given up on you, we are here with medicine." However, Cheng Jin's voice was hoarse and no one listened to her.

Pei Yu, who was beside Cheng Jin, saw that no matter what he said, it was useless, so he could only protect Cheng Jin in his arms.

Those people not only verbally attacked, but some even wanted to push Cheng Jin who had been trying to explain.

Cheng Jin was completely unaware that she was in Pei Yu's arms, but seeing that the people who were still peaceful yesterday actually rioted today, she was a little anxious and could only explain loudly.

"Listen to me first. It's not that I didn't bring any medicine, I just changed it to a more effective medicine."

Those people were pushing and shoving in front of Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin didn't know who lifted the mask in front of her and threw it aside, exposing her face to everyone.

Cheng Jin seemed to hear someone saying viciously: "Vicious woman, do you want us to die? Just die with us."

If he hadn't known that the disease these people were suffering from was not an epidemic and was not contagious, I'm afraid Cheng Jin would have been dragged to the Palace of Hell by those people.

But even though he knew it, Cheng Jin still couldn't help but feel his heart ache in response to those harsh words.

She even wondered if everything she had wanted to do before was wrong.

Why do those people say the most vicious things about themselves and why do they treat themselves in the most vicious ways? They are not even given a chance to explain.

Cheng Jin thought about what Pei Yu said yesterday about why he should not tell the truth to the people who were sick this time. If he told them like this, I'm afraid they wouldn't believe it. Just like now, they would just think that the court would give up treating them. , with no chance of explanation at all.

There were hundreds of resentful faces in front of her, their mouths opened and closed, but Cheng Jin couldn't hear anything they said.

Until the short blade glowing with cold light appeared in front of him, only a little distance away from him, Cheng Jin broke out in cold sweat at that moment, and stood still in place not knowing what to do.

Cheng Jin subconsciously closed his eyes tightly, thinking that he was going to explain here today.

The stinging pain he imagined did not appear, but one exclamation after another came from his ears.

"Killing, killing."

Cheng Jin opened his eyes and saw that the knife that was supposed to stab him was not on him, and the crowd that was supposed to be in front of him was also separated by Pei Yu.

The man standing in front saw what was going on and instantly let go of the knife in his hand. The short blade fell to the ground with a sound. The crowd instantly moved away from Pei Yu and Cheng Jin.

The man looked at everyone around him at a loss, and kept waving his hands, "It's not me, I didn't mean it."

"It's him, it's him." The man suddenly pointed in the direction of Pei Yu, "It's him holding my hand."

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone at all. I just wanted to scare that woman. It wasn't me. It really wasn't me."

The man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

But everyone only regarded his words as nonsense. Who would stab himself with a knife?

Cheng Jin looked at what was happening in front of her in disbelief. She had no time to take care of the turbulent crowd and could only watch Pei Yu motionless in front of her.

Knowing that Pei Yu's body fell on him uncontrollably, Cheng Jin reacted and supported Pei Yu.

All the weight of Pei Yu's body rested on Cheng Jin. Cheng Jin staggered a few times before he stood still in front of him. He sat on the ground holding Pei Yu. Tears fell on Pei Yu's face before he could speak.

Tears fell down Pei Yu's cheeks. Pei Yu didn't care about Cheng Jin's tears dripping on his face. Instead, he raised his hand to gently wipe away the tears on Cheng Jin's face.

Pei Yu smiled and said, "Why are you crying? Don't cry."

"Didn't I tell you that I would never let you cry in front of me? Don't make me lose my words."

Cheng Jin shook her head hard but couldn't make any sound. Her hands blocked Pei Yu's wound in panic.

Cheng Jin searched for a long time before he found his voice, "Stop talking, I'll find a doctor right away. I'll find an imperial physician. You'll be fine."

Pei Yu didn't say anything to refute, and nodded along with Cheng Jin's words, "Okay, listen to Xiao Jin, I will be fine."
