When Lin Yi opened her eyes again, she didn't expect that she hadn't gone to heaven yet.
Ancient beams, warm quilts, and landscape screens.
Still in ancient times.
"Miss, are you awake?"
Behind the screen, a gentle male voice sounded.
Lin Yi subconsciously touched his clothes, which were still the men's clothes from yesterday, and felt a little relieved.
Through the screen, the man then asked: "Miss, I need to confirm your fever, is that okay?"
Lin Yi cleared her throat and hummed.
The man moved the screen to the side.
Oil paper windows, partition doors.
Lin Yi squinted his eyes, the light in front of him was a bit dazzling.
The man walked towards her slowly.
Lin Yi felt that the figure in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
The man took a handkerchief and put it on Lin Yi's wrist and took his pulse.
The man in front of me is wearing a blue robe and a black silk girdle with a very familiar pattern.
Lin Yi finally remembered who he was.
I just didn't expect Qin Zhiruo, who had grown out his hair and wore a long robe, to be so handsome.
You can see the prince of Qin here, and it's really dumbfounding.
Lin Yi remembered that the second prince of the Qin Kingdom had become a monk, but he did not expect that he would become a secular monk a year later.
Qin Zhiruo frowned. Although he only knew a little bit about medical skills, he could feel the warmth of Lin Yi's skin through the handkerchief.
The high fever has not gone away!
Qin Zhiruo took back the handkerchief, folded it a few times and put it into his sleeve.
He turned around, picked up a bowl of medicine, and walked slowly towards Lin Yi.
"Miss, your fever has not gone away, please take this medicine."
Lin Yi sat up and shook his head. His eyes hurt indeed, and it seemed that his fever had not subsided.
"Thank you... Master..."
She didn't say much, took the medicine bowl and drank it.
bitter!
Lin Yi smacked his lips and frowned.
Why does the medicine have to be so bitter?
If she were to prepare the medicine herself, she would definitely put less skullcap and add some licorice.
But I'm thankful that I can survive taking the medicine.
Seeing her drinking the medicine, Qin Zhiruo couldn't help but feel curious.
The woman seemed to be unprepared and drank the medicine without asking.
"Miss, aren't you afraid that this medicine is poisonous?"
Lin Yi wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, leaving Qin Zhiruo stunned.
She leaned on the bed and said leisurely: "If you want to poison me, why bother to save me? Besides, I'm not your enemy, what's the benefit of poisoning me?"
This seems to be true.
Qin Zhiruo didn't know how to react. The woman in front of him was quite interesting.
He hesitated for a moment, then took out the handkerchief he had just given.
"Miss, this handkerchief has never been used."
Lin Yi took the handkerchief with an embarrassed look.
Regardless of whether I have used it or not, I don’t use handkerchiefs very much.
"Master, thank you for the handkerchief. Also, thank you for your help."
Qin Zhiruo rolled his eyes and suddenly asked: "How do you know, Miss, that I saved you?"
Lin Yi stared at him blankly.
"Then I take back my words of thanks?"
"..."
"Or you can call the person who saved me, and I'll go say thank you!"
"..."
Qin Zhiruo looked at her with a complicated expression, saying he was just joking.
"I'm sorry, I was just teasing you."
"..."
Lin Yi took it seriously. She didn't understand what was so funny about this kind of thing.
The laughs are different.
"I know, you actually saved me, right?"
Seeing Lin Yi's serious expression, Qin Zhiruo could only nod seriously.
In fact, he rode past the temple he had been to yesterday, thinking of settling there.
Unexpectedly, when I walked in, I found someone inside.
But there was no brazier or anything.
At this time of year, if the temple is not heated due to drafts from all sides, there must be something wrong!
In an instant, he quietly drew out the soft sword from his waist and cautiously walked towards the innermost pillar.
The person next to the pillar remained motionless.
As he got closer, he found the man curled up into a ball.
Dead or alive?
Qin Zhiruo took out a fire stick and lit a fire.
The man still didn't move.
He used his sword to pick off the person's face scarf, but he didn't expect it to be a woman.
At that time, the woman's lips were trembling a little, as if she was dying of cold.
Why is this person dressed in men's clothing?
He looked at Lin Yi carefully for a moment.
There seemed to be no obvious trauma on his body, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.
He put his fingers under her nose.
The breath is very weak.
He touched Lin Yi's forehead again, but he didn't expect it to be burned like this.
After all, Qin Zhiruo couldn't bear it, so he took her back to the town on horseback.
But now when he saw Lin Yi in front of him, he felt that what he did last night was really the right thing to do.
I didn't expect this woman to be so beautiful and charming.
His eyes were bright and crystal clear, like twinkling stars.
Her eyes not only speak volumes, but also reveal an indescribable tenacity.
The small nose is even more like a jade carving.
Her lips were like cherries, and although their color had not yet returned, they were really charming.
Qin Zhiruo swallowed unconsciously.
What surprised him even more was that the woman in front of him was as cold as ice when she wasn't smiling, and when she slightly curved the corners of her mouth, she was like spring again.
But when he opened his mouth to speak, it was somewhat overwhelming.
Seeing that Qin Zhiruo didn't speak, Lin Yi closed her eyes and leaned against the wall.
The body is still very weak.
"Master, can you tell me where this is? I can afford the medicine, but I have to weigh the cost of accommodation."
Qin Zhiruo was really speechless.
He didn't know how to talk to him, and he always felt that the woman in front of him was not playing by the rules.
"This is an inn. Miss, you don't have to worry too much about the medicine money and inn fees. I will be responsible for it. But miss, can you tell me who you are and why you fainted in that temple?"
Lin Yi didn't hide anything from him, she opened her eyes slightly and spoke.
"My name is Yimu, and I took a boat south from Banzhu. I wanted to go to Hangzhou. But I didn't expect that the boatman's wife was in labor on the awning boat. After I helped her deliver the baby, I felt that I had a cold, and I was afraid of infecting them. I got off the boat halfway and collapsed in the temple yesterday.”
The experience was also interesting.
"Are you a doctor?"
"Um."
Lin Yi sat up straight, pointed at the medicine bowl and said, "This antipyretic medicine has a little more skullcap and too little isatis root. If you can add some licorice, it won't be so unpleasant to drink."
She frowned as she spoke, the bitter taste of the medicine still lingering in her mouth.
"..."
The prescription for reducing fever was an effective formula used by the palace doctors. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi criticized her.
The two were silent for a moment.
Qin Zhiruo really didn't know what to say. In short, he just felt something was strange.
"Miss Yi, why don't you ask me who I am?"
Lin Yi was embarrassed for a while. She knew who he was. Rather than saying that she didn't want to ask, it was more that she didn't know whether she would have to salute again after he answered truthfully.
Her whole body ached, her bones were falling apart, and she didn't want to kneel on the ground.
"When we meet each other by chance, there is no need to ask for his name. Moreover, this young man has a kind face and a kind heart at first glance. I am sure good people will be rewarded."
"..."
Qin Zhiruo felt that this woman could be employed as a debater under his command.
"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you on your way, so I'll leave now."
With that said, Lin Yi knocked on his head and prepared to get out of bed.
As soon as I put on my shoes and stood up, I felt dizzy.
She was about to fall to the ground, but Qin Zhiruo quickly supported her with quick eyes and hands.
Lin Yi stroked his forehead and suddenly realized that he had fallen into Qin Zhiruo's arms, and his face turned red.
She immediately pushed him away, retreated to the bed and sat down.
"Sorry, I'm a bit weak..."
Qin Zhiruo also realized that he was rude and said without saying anything: "Can you be considered a doctor like this?"
"Isn't the doctor sick?"
Lin Yi looked aggrieved. The title of miracle doctor was bestowed upon him by his father, but he dared to question himself!
Qin Zhiruo felt that the woman in front of him really made him speechless.
Judging from the way she talks, I would say she is a lady. She is not gentle at all, and everything she says is thorny.
Call her unruly and willful, but they still make sense.
He sighed and asked, "Miss Yi, do you know where you live?"
Home?
Lin leaned against the wall and hugged his legs, staring blankly at the beams.
Where does one have a home? What will happen to her in Hangzhou?
Seeing her like this, Qin Zhiruo suddenly felt compassion for some reason.
Although he had to get to the capital before New Year's Eve, he still had a few days to spare, so he might as well give this woman a ride.
"Miss Yi, you said you wanted to go south, but you don't know where your next destination is?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment. She originally planned to go to Shanyang and then take a boat to Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, something like this happened on the way. Since she couldn't afford a horse anyway, she might as well rush to Shanyang and then take a boat to Hangzhou.
"Sanyang."
"I'll give you a ride. You should take good care of your health first."
Before Lin Yi could speak, Qin Zhiruo walked out.
Lin Yi didn't like this feeling very much, not getting rewarded for nothing, not to mention she didn't want to deal with the prince.
Although Qin Zhiruo and Qin Shuihan don't look alike, they are half-brothers, and they both exude aristocratic aura.
The antipyretic drugs seemed to be slowly taking effect.
Lin Yi picked up the pillow next to him and became confused.
In her sleep, she felt someone coming in and something seemed to be placed on the edge of her bed.
When she opened her eyes again, she found a set of clothes beside the pillow.
This unfolding pattern made her feel alarmed, and the thought of the person who had given her the clothes before was still lingering in her mind.
Now there's another one coming, and she can't bear it.
Lin Yi staggered up and went to get his package. It seemed that the fever had receded a lot, but his body was still very weak.
She changed into another set of smoky men's clothes, opened the door and walked out.
This is an inn, and it turns out that I have been in the room on the third floor.
She glanced at the corridor and saw that there were only two rooms on the third floor. It seemed that the other one belonged to Qin Zhiruo.
Lin Yi knocked on the door.
The moment he opened the door, Qin Zhiruo was a little disappointed when he saw that Lin Yi had changed into men's clothes and did not put on the dress he had prepared for her.
"go for meal."
Lin Yi shook the purse in his hand.
"I can't afford a full banquet, so can I just have a casual meal?"
Qin Zhiruo smiled slightly and walked downstairs with her.
"Come with me, and I'll take you to eat delicious food. The food in the inn here is very average."
Indeed, this is the only inn in town.
It's not bad, but it definitely won't catch Qin Zhiruo's eyes, otherwise he wouldn't rather go to the temple than stay in this inn.
"I'm treating you, but don't choose a place that's too expensive..."
Lin Yi touched the silver in distress.
She didn't want to owe him a favor, but she was really short of money.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhiruo just smiled and said nothing.
