Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 416 The Little Doctor Girl Knows How to Pamper and Flirt (Part 11)

Ji Xiaosong looked down and found it was an ancient jade pendant, entirely black except for a line of gold in the center, like lightning in the night.

"This is......"

“It was left to me by my mother,” Si Di said softly. “Wearing it, no one in the army will dare to disobey your orders.”

Ji Xiaosong's heart skipped a beat.

This is no token of his affection; it's clearly a handover of all the power he's wielded in his life to her!

"General..." her voice trembled, "Such a valuable item, I..."

"Since she is my betrothed, she should naturally be under your care." Si Di's tone was calm, but his ears were slightly red. "If I do not return within five days..."

"You will definitely come back." Ji Xiaosong suddenly covered his mouth. "I'll wait for you."

Si Di looked at her intently, then suddenly leaned down and kissed her lips.

This kiss was different from the usual domineering one; it was gentle to the point of being almost devout, as if it were silently conveying a thousand words.

Two days later, at dawn, outside the military camp gate.

Twenty iron cavalrymen were fully prepared to set off. Si Di was dressed in a black outfit, and the sword at his waist gleamed coldly in the morning light.

Ji Xiaosong stood in front of the horse, wearing a thick cloak. Her face was still somewhat pale because her shoulder injury had not yet healed.

"Take your medicine on time." Si Di checked the bandage on her shoulder. "Leave the wheat field matters to Uncle Li; don't go to the fields yourself."

"Okay," she replied softly, taking a small cloth bag from her bosom. "Take this with you."

When Si Di opened it, he found several dried herbs that emitted a faint fragrance.

"Dryland lotus?"

Ji Xiaosong nodded: "The situation in the capital is complicated. What if someone poisons us..."

Si Di put the herbs into his robes, then suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace: "Take care of yourself."

His embrace was warm and firm. Ji Xiaosong took a deep breath, savoring his scent, and said, "You too."

In the distance, Zhao Yan coughed lightly: "General, it's getting late."

Si Di released her and mounted his horse.

In the morning light, his upright figure stood out like a pine tree or a sword, captivating all who looked at him.

"Wait for me to come back." He took one last look at her, then whipped his horse and rode away.

Ji Xiaosong stood there, watching the dust kicked up by the iron cavalry gradually dissipate into the sky.

She clutched the jade pendant to her chest and whispered, "You must come back safely..."

On the west side of the military camp, beside a wheat field, Uncle Li and several villagers were checking the growth of the wheat ears. When they saw Ji Xiaosong arrive, they quickly bowed and said, "Miss Ji, your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you out here?"

"Lying down for too long gets stuffy." Ji Xiaosong forced a smile, squatted down to check the wheat seedlings, and asked, "How are they?"

"The crops are growing very well!" Uncle Li said excitedly. "At this rate, we can harvest the first batch of seeds in another month."

Ji Xiaosong nodded, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards the capital.

"Don't worry, young lady," Uncle Li said in a low voice. "The general is valiant and will surely return safely."

Ji Xiaosong forced a smile and was about to speak when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from the edge of the field.

"Miss Ji!" A guard rushed over in a panic. "I just received a message by carrier pigeon. Prime Minister Liu has laid a trap in the capital to kill you, General!"

Ji Xiaosong suddenly stood up, his vision blurring: "Is the information reliable?"

“Absolutely true!” The guard handed over a small note. “This is a message sent by our spies in the capital at great risk.”

The note contained only a few words: "Liu has set up an ambush; Your Majesty is in danger; Rescue immediately."

Ji Xiaosong's fingers trembled slightly as she rapidly calculated in her mind.

The Emperor has been gone for half a day; it would be too late to send troops to catch up now.

And her injury...

"Prepare the horses," she suddenly said, her voice chillingly calm. "I'm going to the capital."

"But the general gave the orders..."

“If the general is to fall, the border will still fall.” Ji Xiaosong took off his jade pendant, which gleamed with a majestic luster in the sunlight. “Now, obey my orders.”

The guards looked at each other, then finally knelt on one knee: "Yes, sir!"

Ji Xiaosong strode towards the stables, having already made up her mind.

Since the Emperor wouldn't let her follow him openly, she would secretly stalk him.

With her skills, even with injuries, she could save his life in a critical moment.

As for the border...

She glanced back at the thriving wheat field, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She has already taught the villagers how to plant drought-resistant wheat varieties, so she has completed half of her mission.

Now, it's time to go and complete your other half.

Protect that foolish man who would rather risk his life alone than let her go to the wrong place.

Ji Xiaosong set up a barrier around the wheat field, and just as she finished, a thunderclap struck down from the sky.

The moment the thunder roared, Ji Xiaosong felt a chill run down her spine.

She looked up and saw that the once clear sky had suddenly become covered with dark clouds. A blinding bolt of lightning struck three feet in front of her like a sharp sword, scorching the ground black.

"Unauthorized use of celestial power to disrupt the order of the mortal realm."

An ancient and vast voice exploded in Ji Xiaosong's mind, shaking her soul violently.

This is not a sound heard through the ears, but a divine voice that directly affects the soul.

Ji Xiaosong's knees buckled, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

She forced her back to straighten and responded in her mind: "Heaven's will is above, this little fairy did not intend to defy the law."

Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, as if the heavens were examining her soul.

The feeling of being completely seen through sent chills down Ji Xiaosong's spine.

Faced with this power, she was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

"As a minor deity under the command of the Star Lord of Destiny, you should abide by the Heavenly Rules." The voice of the Heavenly Dao was devoid of any emotion. "Why have you repeatedly used your divine power to interfere in the mortal realm?"

Ji Xiaosong took a deep breath and visualized the scene of the border drought in his mind:

Cracked fields, withered crops, emaciated children...

The final image freezes on the scene of Si Di teaching the villagers to dig a well and draw water.

"All that I have done is to save the lives of people in this land," she said respectfully. "If Heaven wants to punish me, I am willing to accept the punishment. I only ask that you allow me to complete this drought-resistant barrier, otherwise if the wheat seedlings are destroyed, the people on the border will not be able to survive this winter."

Thunderclouds rolled, and a golden light suddenly pierced through the clouds, shining on the barrier that Ji Xiaosong had just set up.

Inside the barrier, the wheat seedlings were lush and green, forming a stark contrast with the withered yellow weeds outside.

“This wheat is no ordinary thing,” Heaven suddenly said.

Ji Xiaosong's heart skipped a beat: "It's...it's a seed that Little Fairy brought from another small world."

"Taking something from another domain is yet another crime."

Ji Xiaosong bit her lip: "I know I was wrong. But if we don't use this wheat, the border will be filled with starving corpses..."

"What is your relationship with that reincarnation of the God of War?"

This sudden problem caught Ji Xiaosong off guard.

She hesitated for a moment before finally confessing, "This humble fairy is acting on the orders of the Star Lord of Destiny to help him complete his tribulation."

Thunder rumbled, as if the heavens were sneering: "Tribulation? You have clearly been tempted by worldly desires."

Ji Xiaosong's ears burned, but she stubbornly raised her head: "I do admire him. But I set up this barrier only for the people, not for personal feelings."

silence.

The suffocating silence lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

Suddenly, the dark clouds that had been hanging over the wheat field began to dissipate, and the sunlight began to shine down again.
