Yun Chuan had been impatient for a long time. Thinking that she almost died last night, she couldn't hold her breath anymore, but Yun Xi kept holding her down. After finally waiting until there was silence inside, Yun Xi pulled her up and walked away quickly and softly.
"Why did you pull me away? Don't you want to know what happened?" After walking away, Yun Chuan asked doubtfully.
"I'm just worried that Yang Qingyuan will punish her. It seems that I'm worrying too much." Yun Xi said, shaking her head, worried.
"Yun Xi, Yun Xi, at this time, are you still worried about Yu Wenling? If it weren't for her, your cousin wouldn't be lying there!" Seeing Yun Xi thinking about others, Yun Chuan was even more angry.
"Yu Wenling must have been taken advantage of. With her infatuation with Yang Qingyuan, it is impossible for her to do such a thing." Yun Xi sighed and said: "Looking back on the situation that night, the target of the man in black should be Cousin."
"Why do you want to kill your cousin? I understand. I heard from my eldest brother that the Wei Dynasty is currently fighting all kinds of things about the prince. It is quite common for princes to kill each other in that place. No, you don't mean that he is the emperor. Are you not favored in your eyes? He is low-key and never fights for anything. Can such a marginalized prince not be able to live a good life in the palace?" Yun Chuan was analyzing to himself, and Yun Xi suddenly knelt down with a "dong" sound. In front of Yun Chuan, Yun Chuan was so shocked that he took a step back: "Yun Xi, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"
"Yunchuan, I have something to tell you." Yun Xi said with tears.
"Yun Xi, if you have something to say, get up and say it." Yun Chuan grabbed Yun Xi's arm, but she insisted on kneeling and remained motionless.
"Princess Yunchuan, please accept my bow." After saying this, Yun Xi leaned forward with her hands and lowered her body, and bowed to Yunchuan.
"Yun Xi, please get up quickly. I can't bear such a big gift." Although Yun Xi has been in such a low life, he has been of high status since he was a child and his heart is higher than the sky. Except for the ceremony of worshiping heaven and ancestors, he never gives such a big gift to others easily. .
"Sister Yunchuan, please accept my bow again." Yun Xi ignored Yunchuan's pull and bowed again, saying: "The first bow is to Princess Yunchuan. Thank you for taking care of me as a princess in the past eight years. Otherwise, I would not have been treated so favorably in Tusang; the second bow is to sister Yunchuan. Since I met you, you gave me the same name as "Yun" and changed my name to "Xi" to suit my sister. We eat and sleep together, without this sisterhood, I, Yun Xi, would have been drowned in hatred and fear."
"Yun Xi, you and I have a close connection and hit it off right away. I treat you well without any selfish thoughts. I don't want you to repay me, and I don't want you to be burdened. In the past eight years, haven't you always been thinking about me? Teach me how to behave. Wen, play with me, punish me, and help me relieve my worries. You have long been the best, closest, and most trusted sister in my heart." Yunchuan couldn't drag Yun Xi, so he had to kneel on the ground and talk to Yun Xi. Xi Xiangxiang said softly: "Do you want me to get the century-old snow lotus? Even if you don't say it, I will do it. Yu Wenhan saved my life. I have already said that I will not sit idly by. .”
"Thank you, I know you never thought of repaying it, but I will never forget this affection." Yun Xi said with tears in her eyes, "I, I have one more request, I hope you can agree to it. I'll get it later. After a hundred years of Snow Lotus, I hope you can allow Yu Wenhan to live anonymously in Tusang."
"You really gave your heart to him." Yun Chuan remembered that Yu Wenhan had said before that his sister had been quirky, witty and lively since she was a child. Now looking at Yun Xi's eyes full of sorrow, there is no shrewdness at all. Yun Chuan felt even more distressed. She sighed and said, "He is a high-ranking prince, and he suddenly disappeared. How could the Wei Dynasty just let it go? I know you are worried that something unexpected will happen to him when he returns, but the difficulty of this matter..."
"I know the stakes are high, but I can't just watch him repeat the same mistakes and become a victim of the struggle." Yun Xi's tears couldn't stop flowing down, and they fell on the back of Yun Chuan's hand.
Yun Chuan knew that the reason why he was able to be nosy and do whatever he wanted in the desert was because he usually only minded his own business and never participated in the internal affairs of the ethnic group, let alone caused trouble to his father and elder brother in major ethnic affairs, so everyone was right Her little capriciousness was without reproach and she was allowed to come and go. However, Yun Xi's request involved the prince of Wei Dynasty, and Yun Chuan believed that this was beyond his ability. Although she had a good impression of Yu Wenhan, she was far from doing anything for him that would threaten the interests of the ethnic group.
But seeing how hurt Yun Xi was at this moment, Yun Chuan couldn't bear to refute her, so he could only comfort her: "Well, anyway, the sky is high here and the emperor is far away, there will always be a way to hide someone. Let's solve Xuelian's matter first, Then we'll find a way to transform ourselves into a living person, that's all. Look, if we don't get up, the guards will think we're lying on the ground looking for crickets."
Yun Chuan and Yun Xi helped each other up. Yun Xi was still sobbing. Yun Chuan said helplessly: "Yun Xi, I used to be fearless, but after meeting you, I am afraid. You know What is it? When you cry, the pear blossoms are covered with rain, and you cry like you are complaining, I feel that the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and my heart is like a knife. Only then do I understand the mood of King You of Zhou who played with the princes just to smile for Concubine Bo Ai. "
"Is there anyone like you? Compare me to Baosi." Yun Xi felt dumbfounded by Yunchuan's random comparison.
While helping Yun Xi wipe her tears, Yun Chuan said: "What's wrong with Baosi? It's obviously those men who were greedy for pleasure, stupid and stupid, and lost the world. They didn't want to take responsibility, so they blamed women. Besides, you You are not Baosi, you are a goddess who came down from Snow Dragon Mountain. I am not the only one who said this, Shengze and my eldest brother both said so."
"Just tease me as hard as you can! How can there be such a rough goddess in the world?" Yun Xi said helplessly.
"Heaven is going to give you a great responsibility, so of course you have to practice a lot. Haha, okay, I won't tease you anymore. I feel relieved when you don't cry. But, my elder brother really said that about you!" Yun After Chuan finished speaking, he smiled and ran away. Yun Xi watched from behind and finally broke down into tears.
The sky over the grassland is blue and clear, and the clouds are rolling and relaxing. Yun Xi looked up at the pair of soaring wild geese and sighed in her heart. God had deprived her of her identity and family affection, but gave her this deep-rooted friendship. Even if she had to go to the mountains of swords or the sea of fire for her in the future, she would have no complaints. No regrets.
————————————————————————————————
Yunxi boiled the herbs and brought them to Yuwenhan's yurt with Yunchuan. Yang Qingyuan sat on the edge of the fallen eaves and guarded them. Yuwenling sat on the felt blanket beside him, leaning on the table with his left hand dragging his cheek, listlessly.
"You two have four big words written on your face - dejected!" Yun Chuan came in and took a quick scan to break the silence.
Yang Qingyuan and Yu Wenling looked up when they heard the sound, and saw two people dressed in women's clothes. One was as bright as the sun, and the other was as gentle as the moonlight. Yang Qingyuan nodded immediately, and Yu Wenling snorted and turned his head.
"Miss Ling, is it fun to be a spy?" Yun Chuan deliberately approached Yu Wenling and asked her, staring into her eyes.
"I knew you were here to ridicule me. Why should I be a spy? What good will it do to me?" Yu Wenling's pent-up anger had no way to vent, and he immediately jumped up, "These people see us wearing extraordinary clothes. Cai is motivated and robs in the dark. I am also a victim!"
"Hey, he is indeed a victim and ruined a good marriage." Yun Chuan's words were like a sharp sword piercing Yu Wen Ling's heart. His humiliation and shame were ignited. He grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it towards Yu Wen Ling. , Yunchuan dodged sideways, and the teacup hit Yang Qingyuan behind him. Yang Qingyuan stretched out his left hand and caught the tea cup without moving. The suppressed anger melted into the palm of his hand. The veins on the back of his hand protruded, and the copper tea cup was almost deformed.
"The thing about the men in black is indeed because they are motivated by wealth. I have just reported it to the young prince Shengze. Ling'er, if you continue to mess around in other people's places, you should leave here immediately!" Yang Qingyuan said coldly and sternly.
"Brother Qingyun, I, I won't make trouble anymore, I will guard you." Yu Wenling looked aggrieved, glared at Yunchuan, and sat down carefully on the side of the case again.
Yun Chuan was still about to tell the difference, but Yun Xi held him back: "Yun Chuan, we are all in the same boat. We don't want this to happen." After saying that, he put a bowl of medicinal soup beside the collapse, and Teng He took Yu Wenhan's pulse and concentrated for a moment: "Now his breath has become much calmer. He should wake up in more than an hour. After waking up for a while, warm the bowl of soup and let him drink it first, and then I will ask the doctor Come and change his ointment.”
"Thank you. How is his injury now?" Yang Qingyuan asked with concern.
"It's better than expected, maybe because he has a stronger will." Yun Xi looked at his left arm, and then said: "The poison has not continued to spread for the time being, which is a blessing among misfortunes. In the next seven days, if the root cause is not cured, The frequency and severity of pain will gradually increase with the use of medicines. I will give him herbal medicine to relieve pain and detoxify regularly, hoping that it will be relieved."
"Then is he suitable to ride in a carriage now?" Yang Qingyuan asked.
"Where are you going?" Yun Xi stood up straight and asked in surprise.
"Go back to the Central Plains." Yang Qingyuan looked at the cup in his hand in a daze, and then continued after a moment, "We are very grateful to you for taking care of us. But the century-old snow lotus is of great importance, and I have heard about it, so..."
"Therefore, you don't want to implicate us. You want to take him out of the desert first, and then you go to steal the century-old snow lotus alone, right?" Yun Xi said excitedly what Yang Qingyuan wanted to say.
"Brother Qingyun, you will die like this. You'd better let me go back and give it a try. I promise I will try my best. I will ask someone to prepare the carriage right now!" Yu Wenling stood up immediately, anxiously trying to rush go out. Yang Qingyun grabbed Yu Wenling's arm and said with a stern expression, "Don't cause any more trouble, okay? You have to go back, but you don't need to go back to do anything. You don't need to do anything."
"Brother Qingyun, I..." Yu Wenling looked at Yang Qingyuan almost pleadingly. How she wished she could spend this critical moment with him, but why was she the one who caused this situation?
"Then have you ever thought about what would happen to your brother if you didn't get back the century-old snow lotus, or if you were caught?" Seeing Yang Qingyuan's heartless behavior for his brother, Yun Chuan also felt a sense of respect in his heart.
"What are you talking about? Brother Qingyuan will be fine!" Yu Wenling was heartbroken. Yun Xi also looked at Yang Qingyun anxiously, hoping that his decision would be properly planned and not a gamble with his life.
"Within seven days, if I never come back, a famous doctor will protect his life!" Yang Qingyuan looked at Yu Wenhan's bloodless face and said firmly.
"What about you?" Yun Xi didn't dare to think any further and asked softly. Yang Qingyun raised his eyes to look at Yun Xi, then lowered his head and fell into a lifeless silence.
"He is just ready for 'if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent'. People will be reborn as flowers, but without flowers, there will be no one." Yunchuan said firmly, sighing deeply in his heart, entangled with all kinds of helplessness in his heart.
Yun Xi was so uncomfortable that she couldn't stand upright, so she had to hold on to the bed and slowly sit on the edge, lowering her head to hold back her tears. Thinking of the day and night and the joy eight years ago, the reunion and joy of the past few days, the suffering and uneasiness of the past two days, Yun Xi's emotions are on the verge of collapse again. The sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers are mighty, and a mere gull is not asking for help. Baishou, I just want peace for the rest of my life, why is it so difficult.
Yun Chuan has also thought about how to obtain the White Lotus and Snow Lotus. Stealing is not impossible, but it is by no means a foolproof strategy. She patted Yun Xi's shoulder gently, looked at Yang Qingyuan and said, "I still have some old friendship with Princess Mingcheng of Huang Bei. I will go with you."
Yang Qingyuan raised her head and looked at the red-eyed woman in front of her. A ray of sunshine seemed to shine in her cold heart. She didn't know where this sunshine came from, but she had known her before.
"Then you didn't tell me earlier? You have to watch us cry and make a joke, right?" Yu Wenling stood up angrily, looked at Yunchuan and asked.
"Because I don't want to take away your credit!" Yun Chuan looked at Yu Wenling's domineering look and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart: This little girl gets angry when teased. When she gets angry, her almond-shaped eyes widen and she jumps up and down, which is both annoying and ridiculous.
"What did you say? When did I want this credit! Brother Qingyuan, she is making fun of me again!" Yu Wenling was very anxious. The matter had reached such a point. If Yang Qingyuan misunderstood his original intention again, then he would be in trouble for the past eight years. Your companionship and staying together will all be in vain.
"Yunchuan~" Yun Xi called Yunchuan softly, pulled her sleeves, raised her eyes slightly, and shook her head gently, indicating that she should stop provoking Yu Wenling.
Just as Yang Qingyuan was about to speak, Yun Chuan said first, "He was injured because of me. I won't sit idly by and ignore it. There is no need for any exchange conditions!" After speaking, he glanced at Yu Wenling, who was burning with anger, and looked at Yang Qingyuan looked expressionless, thinking that if Yu Wenling was like a cannon fire, then Yang Qingyun would be like a stubborn stone that would never change or be melted by fire. Putting the fire and the stone together, it turned out that they still didn't quite match.
Thinking of this, Yun Chuan suddenly felt that he had a strange idea: They were not a good match, so what did it have to do with him?
Yun Chuan continued: "This matter is indeed not easy to handle. I thought you were sure of it before, so I didn't get involved. But now, if you can only take risks, you might as well take me with you, even though I have this little friendship with Princess Mingcheng. , I may not be able to achieve what you want, but I know the distribution and internal situation of the Huangbei tribe well, and I believe I can definitely help you."
Yang Qingyuan listened quietly, thought about it for a while, and then said, "If Miss Yunchuan can lend a helping hand, I will be very grateful."
"Don't just thank me. The one you should thank most is Yun Xi. She has been so anxious since she started her career. She has not slept for a moment. She has been doing all the hard work of preparing herbs and making soups." Yun Chuan looked at Yun Xi aside. With her red eyes, she must have been struggling to hold back the burning pain in her heart.
Yang Qingyuan looked at the woman in green clothes in front of her. Her face was elegant and her temperament was outstanding. It was difficult to connect the words "worried" to her. But he also saw Yun Xi's care for Yu Wenhan, and then he bowed his hands to Yun Xi and said, "Thank you."
Yun Xi waved his hand and said calmly: "No need to say thank you. We are all in this world, and this is all I can do." Yu Wenling looked at Yun Xi's elegant expression, thinking that his mother always taught him, "Everyone in the world is for profit." "Go", these two people didn't know what kind of purpose was hidden behind them, so they just acted coquettishly here to gain favor. Yu Wenling snorted and glanced at Yun Xi with disdain, then cast his eyes gently on Yang Qingyun, hoping that he would not be deceived by it. But Yang Qingyuan's expression had always been stern, but now he was much softer, and he nodded to Yunxi to express his gratitude, which was quite polite.
"Yunchuan, I knew you were here. Are you all made of iron? Aren't you hungry?" Shengze pulled the curtain with one hand and pointed at the tables in the yurt and said, "Come on, come on, eat all the food." Bring it in."
In the blink of an eye, the table was filled with lamb legs, naan cakes, and butter tea. Just as the maid was bowing to leave, Shengze patted his head and said, "I almost forgot. You go arrange a good four-wheeled carriage for us to use after we finish our meal."
"Thank you, young prince, for your thoughtful arrangements." Yang Qingyuan saluted.
"It's trivial, don't be so polite. Don't just stand around. Come on, sit down and fill your stomach. To take care of the wounded, you have to eat before you have the strength to take care of them." Shengze hurriedly pulled Yun Chuan and Yun Xi sat next to the table.
"Well, I don't think so even if you don't tell me, but as soon as you say it, my stomach is already growling." Yunchuan touched his stomach and said, then picked up a naan cake and gave it to Yun Xi and Sheng Ze. He ate quickly.
Yang Qingyuan also sat over, expressed his thanks, and then picked up the naan bread and started eating it. Yu Wenling had been dizzy with hunger for a long time, but he never dared to show it. When he saw Yang Qingyun eating, he began to eat with confidence. Halfway through the meal, his hunger was relieved a lot. He took a sip of butter tea and bumped Sheng Ze with his arm, cautiously. He asked: "Are you arranging the carriage to send us to the Central Plains?"
Sheng Ze looked at Yu Wenling, then at Yang Qingyuan, and asked, "You didn't tell her?"
After Yang Qingyuan finished eating half of the naan cake, he stood up and sat on the edge of Yu Wenhan's bed. When he heard Sheng Ze's inquiry, he said to Yu Wenling: "Ling'er, after you finish eating, go and pack your luggage. I'll do it later." I’ll take you to the border town.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenling hurriedly put down the food in his hands and said anxiously: "Brother Qingyun, why do you want me to go back alone first? You want to take risks, and I know you can't stop me. Am I not even qualified to wait for news?"
"A lot of truth has been said, and I don't want to repeat it again." Yang Qingyuan was a little impatient.
"I, I won't leave! If we want to leave, let's go together!" Yu Wenling's cheeks were red, and he felt extremely aggrieved, with tears already falling on the table. Shengze was at a loss when he saw this scene, and even said: "I hate to see a girl cry the most. It's not that I want to send you away, but it won't help if you keep her."
"I, I know I can't share the burden for you, but at this time, if you let me go back alone, I, I can't sleep or eat well. If you have three longs and two shorts, I will never survive." Yu Wenling said several times Choking up sobs and bursting into tears.
The three people in Yunchuan were a little shocked when they heard Yu Wenling's cry. This was clearly the confession of an infatuated woman, but Yang Qingyuan didn't react at all, and still said coldly: "I have no talent, so this kind of care is unnecessary; I will take care of myself this time and don’t need to think too much.”
Yu Wenling's whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning. For so many years, in order to follow Yang Qingyun, she ignored a woman's reserve and was not afraid of worldly gossip. But after all, she is also a majestic Princess Wei, who is favored by thousands of people. Now in front of outsiders, he categorically said that "it is unnecessary to accept it, and there is no need to think about it". How can she lose face with such determination? At this time, Yu Wenling felt as if the earth was shaking around him and he was dizzy. These people were looking at him with troubled expressions, and they were laughing and scolding in their hearts. She was so ashamed that she got up and lifted the curtain and ran out, running along a road without direction, the voice in her heart still asking: "I can't let it go, I can't let it go." Yu Wenling smiled bitterly to himself: "I don't know where my love started, but it goes deep; I don't know where my intention is, and it's unspeakable pain."
