Before Xiao Yuxi could reply, Ren Ruyi grabbed her wrist and handed it to Qian Zhao.
Xiao Yuxi smiled helplessly.
Qian Zhao took his pulse.
The next second, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuxi, his eyes full of disbelief.
Qian Zhao's fingertips trembled slightly, and he suddenly remembered what Xiao Yuxi said last night.
She said: The medicine has no effect on her.
No wonder!
Born with a dead vein, no medicine or stone can cure it!
It’s a miracle to live over ten years old!
Qian Zhao then thought of the kindness Xiao and Xi gave Yuan Lu after the battle at Tianxing Gorge, saying it was something that could protect Yuan Lu.
Is it because we feel sympathy for each other?
Xiao Yuxi said slowly: "Qian Zhao, you have been by my sister's side for many years."
"Other people don't know my situation, so don't you know it?"
"I was weak since I was a child and was sent to the countryside to recuperate. Later, I found a wonderful cure and returned to Beijing six years ago."
"My pulse is just different from others, nothing else is serious."
Sun Lang silently pointed at Ren Ruyi and suddenly said: "But, Second Miss, didn't you say yesterday that you have known Miss Ruyi for nine years?"
"This timeline doesn't match up!"
Xiao Yuxi pursed her lips and said nothing.
Seeing this, Yu Shisan put one hand on Qian Zhao's shoulder and the other on Sun Lang's arm, and said with great discernment: "Oh, why do you have to get to the bottom of the second lady's secret?"
"If she says it's okay, it must be okay!"
"Let's go and let the girls chat. Let's go see if Old Ning is awake!"
He said and dragged the two of them away from the place.
Only Ren Ruyi and Xiao Yuxi were left there.
Ren Ruyi whispered: "What you want to do is related to your physical condition, right?"
Xiao Yuxi's answer was ambiguous: "That's right."
Ren Ruyi put a hand behind his back and raised his chin slightly: "In Anguo?"
Xiao Yuxi shook his head: "There is a high probability, but it is not certain yet."
Ren Ruyi said softly: "You said before that no one can help you."
"But you have to tell me first so I know if I can help you!"
Xiao Yuxi suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."
She stood with her hands behind her hands and looked a little more serious: "Have you ever heard of Jiutianxi soil?"
Ren Ruyi was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "The secret of the previous dynasty, and Yi Xun's opportunity are both the best."
"The one-ten-day machine still exists in the hands of a few high-ranking people, and is used to control their subordinates, such as Ning..."
She paused and then changed the subject: "As for the Jiutianxi soil, its whereabouts are unknown, and no one knows what it is."
"Some people speculate that it is the same poison as the Yi Xun Tian Ji, and some people speculate that it is the antidote to the Yi Xun Tian Ji. What's more, they say that the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is a magical item that can bring people back to life!"
"It's just that these speculations have not been confirmed."
Xiao Yuxi clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the Zuo Shi!"
"For many years, I have searched almost all the nine countries of the Central Plains, and even set foot in Beipan. Only then did I find some clues from the stories passed down from the previous dynasty, and not long ago I set my target on Anguo."
"To tell you the truth, I went to Anguo Yuzhou a few days ago."
"That place is indeed a dangerous place, and there is indeed a magical object, but it's a pity that it's not what I want!"
The two of them walked towards the room in unison.
Ren Ruyi asked: "What kind of guess do you think it is?"
Xiao Yuxi replied: "The third type."
Ren Ruyi frowned slightly: "It's just a legend. Do you really believe that there will be something that can bring the dead back to life?"
The look in Xiao Yuxi's eyes was unclear: "I already exist in this world, so what's the surprise if there's another person who can bring the dead back to life?"
When Ren Ruyi heard this, his brows suddenly widened.
She seemed to laugh, almost inaudibly: "That's true."
…
That night.
Ren Ruyi slept with Ning Yuanzhou in the same bed.
The next day, the entire mission knew about them.
Everyone left Xucheng, passed through Qinjiacun, and headed to Caicheng, the next stop.
The atmosphere on the road was very relaxed and comfortable, just like before.
Yang Ying freed up the carriage to give Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou enough space to get along.
She herself rode a horse and followed Xiao Yuxi.
Yang Ying called with a smile: "Yu Xi."
Xiao Yuxi turned to look at her: "What?"
Yang Ying said: "Sister Ruyi taught me how to ride a horse during the few days you left. I can ride very well now!"
"Shall we compete?"
The corners of Xiao Yuxi's mouth were slightly raised, with a light smile: "Forget it, I'm afraid someone won't be able to cry."
Yang Ying was unconvinced and said: "No way!"
She rolled her eyes and cleared her throat: "Ahem, Xiao Nu Shi, I order you to compete with me!"
Xiao Yuxi asked: "Your Highness, when have you ever seen me obey orders?"
Yang Ying's mouth twitched.
As a female historian of the mission, only Xiao Yuxi could take disobeying the leader's orders as a matter of course.
Yang Ying was speechless and said: "There is a bet, why don't you come?"
Xiao Yuxi: "What bet?"
Yang Ying: "Thirteenth brother's peach blossom wine!"
Yu Shisan, who was behind, drove up: "How did your Highness know that I have peach blossom wine?"
Yang Ying: "Yuanlu told me."
Yu Shisan frowned and looked at Yuan Lu.
Yuan Lu quickly defended: "You promised me last time to tell you about Ning Tou'er and Sister Ruyi, so you would give me the peach blossom wine."
"Who told you to stop talking?"
Qian Zhao echoed: "He is used to bullying children."
Sun Lang held a rabbit in his arms and said angrily to Qian Zhao: "Come on! You didn't let me go either!"
"If you whisper to Lao Yu, don't tell Yuan Lu, even I will be excluded!"
Yang Ying asked again: "Do you want to compare with Xi?"
Yu Shisan seemed to have a pained expression on his face: "Your Highness, this peach blossom wine is my true love."
Yang Ying responded domineeringly: "Gu Zheng has used it!"
Yu Shisan sighed and said, "Well, since His Highness wants you, I have no choice but to reluctantly give up."
Yang Yingyan smiled and looked at Xiao Yuxi expectantly.
Xiao Yuxi responded with a smile and said in a rather doting tone: "Your Highness speaks, and my subordinates obey."
Yu Shisan suggested: "How about this, whoever reaches the next stop first will get the peach blossom wine?"
"good!"
Everyone echoed.
At the front of the emissary team, the mane of the fierce horse was fluttering in the wind, and the horse's hooves trampled the fallen leaves, rushing towards the front.
In the first carriage, Ren Ruyi rested on Ning Yuanzhou's legs and fell asleep peacefully.
In the second carriage, Du Changshi opened the curtains of the carriage and stuck his head out to look forward.
He had an old face and said repeatedly: "It's an insult to politeness, it's an insult to politeness!"
Du Changshi shouted loudly: "Your Highness, safety is the most important thing——"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the guards on the side and said urgently: "Hurry, hurry, catch up, Your Highness and the others are gone."
When the mission arrived in Caicheng, it was much faster than expected.
I just felt sorry for Du Changshi. He was already motion sick, and as the carriage accelerated, he vomited as soon as he got off the car.
Xiao Yuxi easily got the first place, got the peach blossom wine, and gave it to Yang Ying.
Yang Ying handed over the peach blossom wine to Du Changshi to express her relief.
