Chapter 462: Chapter 462 No One Can Separate Us

She opened her eyes again.

The first thing she saw was Jun Yuyan’s handsome face, though it looked somewhat haggard.

Seeing her awake, the man’s eyes showed a glimmer of joy. "Ah Jiu, you’re awake. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Murong Jiu shook her head, tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

"Ah Jiu, what’s wrong? Does your head still hurt a lot? I’ll go call Uncle Zhai."

As he turned to leave, Murong Jiu grabbed him tightly.

"Don’t go, stay with me, alright?"

"Don’t cry, Ah Jiu. I’ll stay with you, I will always stay with you."

He came over to wipe away her tears, then sat on the bed and pulled her into his arms. "Ah Jiu, don’t be afraid. Your husband will always be by your side. First, tell me how you are feeling now, okay?"

"I’m fine, I just remembered everything."

Murong Jiu buried her head in his chest, and her tears soon soaked his lapel.

Everything she had dreamed of in her dreams, those memories, she remembered them all now.

Those feelings were even clearer, as if she had once again experienced the pain of losing relatives, and she saw Jun Yuyan lying bloodied at the bottom of the cliff.

That grief, that helplessness, made her feel unbearable even after she had come to her senses.

"There, there, Ah Jiu, don’t cry. The past is past, and we have now removed all obstacles. No one can separate us anymore."

Jun Yuyan gently patted her back, treating her like a precious treasure.

In their past lives, too many things had happened, and these memories rushing into her mind had caused Murong Jiu headaches for several days.

Jun Yuyan stayed with her every day, pushing aside the morning court and state affairs.

But this did not cause any complaints from the court and the public, because he would handle the state affairs while Murong Jiu slept, and everything in Great Yan was orderly under his management.

When Murong Jiu found out he could only nap for a little while each day, she felt terribly distressed.

"I’m fine now, my head doesn’t even hurt anymore. With Zhijin and Zhiyu here to keep me company, all my bad moods have vanished like smoke. My husband, don’t worry about me, just take care of yourself. Otherwise, I’ll have to take care of you later."

"Your husband has a body made of iron, very healthy."

Murong Jiu playfully punched him. "Even a body made of iron cannot withstand this pressure. If you don’t listen to me and rest properly, I will have the gates of Kunning Palace shut and not let you in."

"That would never do. Without your sweet fragrance, I couldn’t even sleep."

Jun Yuyan pulled her into his arms.

Murong Jiu’s cheeks turned slightly red as she said, "You’re always so flippant. Alright, there’s nothing to worry about now. I’ll rest with you for a while, okay?"

His eyes were tinged with dark circles, his handsome face managing to look somewhat weary.

Murong Jiu led him to the couch, and Jun Yuyan tenderly kissed her forehead. "Then I’ll sleep for a while, but don’t leave, Ah Jiu. Let me hold you."

She nodded. "I won’t leave."

With her affirmation, Jun Yuyan kissed her again at the corner of the lips, the couple cuddling affectionately for a while. Worried about her recovery, Jun Yuyan didn’t dare to go further, and the two of them held each other tightly. Soon, Jun Yuyan fell asleep.

Watching his sleeping face, Murong Jiu felt extremely tired herself and could have fallen asleep at any moment. What virtue had she earned to meet such a wonderful man?

In their past lives, Jun Yuyan had died for her. In this life, she would definitely love him well and protect their little home.

Jun Yuyan had not slept very long. As an emperor, even sleeping until he naturally woke up had become a luxury.

He was a good emperor, constantly concerned about the country and the welfare of his people.

Upon waking and seeing Murong Jiu still in his arms, he revealed a satisfied smile.

Murong Jiu had not fallen asleep. Feeling him wake up, she slowly opened her eyes, and their eyes met.

Jun Yuyan, looking at her beautiful face, leaned down to kiss her, but Murong Jiu suddenly said to him,

"Husband, I have something very important to tell you."

Her expression was somewhat serious. Jun Yuyan also became somber, holding her hand and saying, "Ah Jiu, go ahead."

"Soon, Chenzhou will experience a severe flood; the levees will collapse, affecting millions, and soon afterwards, an epidemic will break out. The Xiongnu will then seize this opportunity to invade again."

Chenzhou was a city of great strategic importance, not far from the Xiongnu territory, and it was one of the largest cities in that area.

It was not just Chenzhou that experienced flooding, but rather the rain was excessive, and Chenzhou had a very large natural lake upstream of the city. With the levees broken, the entire city of Chenzhou was submerged, resulting in the death of tens of thousands.

Murong Jiu had not dreamed this, but after regaining her memory, she recalled the panic in the Capital City during the epidemic outbreak in her former life.

At that time, the late emperor was still alive. All the people who came from Chenzhou were ordered to be quarantined together, and then, regardless of whether they were infected, they were all burned alive.

Thus, no one in the Capital City contracted the epidemic.

Jun Yuyan’s expression grew grave.

He knew that Ah Jiu had her own secrets, and her past predictions had been very accurate. Master Hui Jue had also mentioned this cryptically.

So, he trusted Ah Jiu’s words very much.

Furthermore, the position of Chenzhou City was special, heavily populated, and not too far from the Capital City, being only three to four days’ ride away or, at most, ten to fifteen days on foot.

Due to its proximity, if Chenzhou City suffered a disaster, the Capital City would become a refuge.

The Capital City was the capital of Great Yan Nation, where the Imperial Family resided. Should chaos arise there, both home and country would be in danger.

"Ah Jiu, when approximately will the flooding occur?"

Murong Jiu shook her head, "I cannot determine the exact date, but perhaps the Astronomical Observatory could observe the rainfall and weather to make preparations. The levees of Chenzhou City need to be reinforced in advance to prevent disaster, the sooner the better."

Jun Yuyan quickly rose from his bed and called for Eunuch Li to summon the officials from the Astronomical Observatory to the Imperial Study Room.

"Ah Jiu, you truly are Great Yan’s savior!"

He swiftly pressed a kiss on Murong Jiu’s forehead before going to get dressed.

Murong Jiu helped him straighten his robe and lightly laughed, "I hope there’s still enough time."

After Jun Yuyan left, her master, Divine Doctor Zhai, arrived. He had been staying in the palace for the past few days.

"Girl, is your headache gone?"

Murong Jiu shook her head, "I’ve remembered everything, and now there’s nothing wrong anymore. Master, I’ve worried you unnecessarily, truly an unfilial disciple."

"What are you saying, girl? A master caring for his disciple, isn’t that right? Old man, I’m still counting on you to support me in my old age."

Murong Jiu laughed, "I heard that recently you’ve cured many patients who were troubled by complicated diseases for years; they all want to support you in your old age as a way of saying thank you."

"But this old man wants no one else, only my precious disciple!"

After joking around a bit, Murong Jiu told her master about the unstable levees at the lake near Chenzhou City, then asked him if there were any medicine or the like that could prevent the epidemic, as a precaution.
