The group set off again.
Lu Ling was riding steadily on the horse, and she felt refreshed today.
Although the abraded area on his thigh was still burning and his hip bones were still aching, Lu Ling felt that he had the strength to resist it. It was no longer as painful as yesterday.
This is all thanks to the Yin Qi absorbed from Shen Yufeng last night.
Thinking of Shen Yufeng, Lu Ling couldn't help but cast his eyes on his back.
He was riding a horse, his back as straight as a pine tree, as if even a thousand kilograms of weight could not bend his back.
He was wearing a black robe, which undulated rhythmically on horseback, like a moving picture, depicting his mystery.
The sun shines through the clouds and shines on his body, giving him a golden halo.
Lu Ling suddenly recalled the night when they first met, when he lifted the curtain from the carriage, and when that extremely handsome face fell into Lu Ling's sight, she clearly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Only now did she understand that the reason why she felt familiar was because he was very similar to her.
Lu Ling was sure that he was also half human and half ghost.
However, who dares to believe that the majestic prince is half human and half ghost?
Here, Lu Ling was minding his own speculation.
Ahead, Jing Yu turned his head from time to time to look at Lu Ling, who was two feet away from them.
"Your Majesty, please go down and talk to Mrs. Song."
There were still doubts in his mind that were not resolved.
Shen Yufeng nodded and turned the horse's head.
Lu Ling watched Jing Yu riding towards him on horseback and looked into his eyes curiously.
"Madam, are you okay?" He asked his horse to walk side by side with Lu Ling's.
Lu Ling nodded and said, "Very good."
Jing Yu tilted his head and looked at Lu Ling's face for a while, then shook his head to himself: "But why does your face still look so bad?"
Lu Ling stretched out his right hand to stroke his cheek and said with a smile, "Isn't my face always looking like this?"
Jing Yu thought about it and realized that it was indeed like this. It had always been so white, so white that it was almost transparent.
But it's still pretty good-looking.
Lu Ling blinked and asked, "Mr. Jing, when I woke up this morning, your master asked me where I went last night. What did you mean?"
She pretended to be curious and innocent, her eyes sparkling with enchantment.
Jing Yu frowned: "You really don't remember?"
Lu Ling shook his head.
Jing Yu saw that she really knew nothing and asked doubtfully: "Then why did you go to the mass grave last night? You still fainted there. It was the master who brought you back."
"Ah? I'm going to the mass graves?" Lu Ling seemed to be shocked and scared. In order to act more like her, she also shrank her shoulders and trembled slightly, "The mass graves... there are so many lonely ghosts. How could I go there alone in the middle of the night?"
She swallowed, as if frightened.
Jing Yu stared into her eyes tightly, unable to see any flaws at all.
So, he made a bold guess in his mind: "Madam, are you sleepwalking?"
Lu Ling shook his head: "I don't know."
Jing Yu quickly said: "Sleepwalkers have no consciousness and have no idea where they went and what they did. This is what I saw about Madam's symptoms."
Lu Ling said in horror: "I heard that there are many wild dogs and wolves in the mass graves that specialize in eating dead bodies!" She patted her chest and continued: "Fortunately, your master saved me again. I don't know what to do." I’m grateful to him.”
Jing Yu glanced at Shen Yufeng's back and said with a smile, "My master doesn't care."
Lu Ling couldn't help but squint his eyes when he heard this and asked, "Are you saying this for your master or you?"
Jing Yu: "..."
He smiled awkwardly: "Actually, my master is a very approachable person."
"Yeah?"
Jing Yu nodded: "Yes, it's easy to talk to him."
"Then why doesn't he agree with me to go to the capital with you?" Lu Ling tilted his head and asked.
Jing Yu: "...Madam, I blame me for not telling the master beforehand."
Lu Ling smiled gently: "Mr. Jing, I was just joking. You saved me twice. I'm grateful to you before it was too late."
So she didn't settle old scores.
The two were silent for a while, and Jing Yu glanced at her legs and asked, "Mrs. Song, are your injuries okay?"
According to the guess from the master last night, it was ulcerated and suppurated, but she seemed to be fine.
Lu Ling stopped pretending and said, "It was my first time riding a horse and my leg was bleeding. But I applied some medicine the night before. I walked slowly yesterday and will walk slowly today. The injury is not serious and can be tolerated."
When Jing Yu heard this, he couldn't help but admire Lu Linglai.
There are not many women like her who have never ridden a horse before and dare to get on the horse and run wildly.
He had never seen a woman so bold and so strong even after being injured.
After thinking about it, he reached into his bag and took out a bottle of medicinal powder and handed it to Lu Ling.
"This is the best medicine for golden sores."
Lu Ling did not reach out to pick it up.
"I have it in my baggage too."
Jing Yu explained: "This golden sore medicine is of the best quality. The one in your bag must have been bought from the inn. The effect is not as good as this one."
Lu Ling still shook his head: "Since it is the best, it is naturally valuable. I already owe you a lot, and I dare not show my gratitude any more."
Jing Yu had no choice but to take back the medicine bottle.
Lu Ling glanced at the people in front of him, then at the speed of the horse, and asked, "When can we get to the capital?"
"The road ahead is Yu County. After leaving Yu County, it will probably take less than a day."
Lu Ling looked up at the sky.
It was probably noon at this time.
"If we speed up, can we reach the capital before dark today?"
"If we ride fast, we can arrive today. But madam, you..." He glanced at Lu Ling's legs.
I’m afraid I can’t stand the tossing!
Lu Ling's face became serious and he said, "Let's speed up. I'll be fine."
Jing Yu obviously didn't believe it.
The look on her face showed that her body and bones were not very good.
Lu Ling frowned and said, "My mother is seriously ill. I must find a doctor as soon as possible and go back."
Jing Yu pursed his lips.
Looking at her look, she was obviously very worried. Could it be that he had made a mistake that day and that Mrs. Lu was really sick?
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are you sure your body can handle it?"
Lu Ling smiled: "You look down on me, Lu Ling, too much."
Jing Yu quickly shook his head: "No, no."
It's just pure worry.
He rode forward.
Lu Ling watched him catch up with Shen Yufeng and said something in his ear.
After a while, Shen Yufeng turned to look at Lu Ling.
Lu Ling didn't know how to describe that look, but the defensiveness and exploration in his eyes yesterday and the day before were gone.
Lu Ling looked at his back closely.
After a moment, Shen Yufeng actually grabbed the horse's reins and turned the horse's head towards Lu Ling!
Jing Yu and the other two men grabbed the reins and waited in place.
Lu Ling was a little surprised.
There was a weird tension in my heart.
"Are you sure you want to ride fast?"
Shen Yufeng rode up to Lu Ling and stared into her eyes.
Lu Ling calmed down and nodded solemnly.
