The late autumn night seemed unusually cold.
A carriage was speeding along a long, sparsely populated street. The young man driving the cart never stopped holding the whip in his hand.
The young man's carriage was driven very fast, but no one in the carriage made a sound to stop him. If you didn’t look carefully, you might have thought it was an empty car! If not, the cool autumn wind blew up the corner of the car curtain, and a few figures could be vaguely seen. I'm afraid someone really felt that there was no one inside the speeding carriage!
"Ziyue, how long until we arrive?"
A clear male voice sounded from inside the carriage, and there was unconcealable anxiety in the voice.
"Master, we'll be there in about half an hour!"
The young man driving the car hurriedly replied without turning his head.
At this time, Yun Qi was holding Bai Yanqing in the carriage, holding her firmly in his arms. No matter how fast the carriage drove, it did not affect her stability at all. On the contrary, Yuan Li and Cai Xing were not so lucky!
Yuan Li was knocked around. Fortunately, she had some skills and could use her strength to stabilize herself. However, Cai Xing was in a miserable state. How could he be described as in such a state of embarrassment? The spread black hair restlessly covered her forehead, and then scattered from her forehead to her face and shoulders. With the bumping of the carriage, it spread crazily in all directions!
Who volunteered to drive the car quickly and steadily? Who was it that forcefully persuaded the original carriage driver to leave? Cai Xing became extremely angry when he thought of this! If it weren't for Bai Yanqing, Cai Xing would really have raised the curtains of the car and scolded Yuan Ziyue!
Fortunately, although Yuan Ziyue's driving was not very stable, the speed at which he drove was really very fast! Yunqi and his party finally arrived at Zhuangzi before dawn!
There is nothing strange about the little Zhuangzi. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is quite good!
The old fences, dilapidated mud walls, and weather-beaten houses must have not been repaired for many years! Such a living environment made Yunqi frown!
It turns out that Bai Yanqing has been living in such an environment for so many years! Yunqi looked at the girl with her eyes tightly closed in his arms, feeling a hint of unspeakable distress in his heart.
"Your Highness, are you not used to it?"
Caixing noticed Yun Qi's stopped steps and couldn't help but ask.
Yunqi shook his head and said nothing.
"Some time ago, the old lady stayed here temporarily. I think the house inside must have been tidied up."
Caixing walked at the front, leading Yunqi and the others to the backyard.
The "old lady" Cai Xing mentioned was the old lady of the Bai family, Ren, who was sent to Zhuangzi before! After all, due to her poor health, Bai Jingxuan couldn't bear it and kept her living here for a long time. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he never let her come back here again!
Compared to the front yard, the house in the backyard is indeed much cleaner and fresher! Although the house looks a bit old, fortunately, the doors and windows are neatly arranged, so it is not leaking! After all, it is a shelter that can protect you from wind and rain!
"This was originally the residence of the young lady and her slaves. Those households in Zhuangzi do not live here!"
Caixing led Yunqi to the room where the master and servant lived before, found clean bedding, made the bed, and then asked Yunqi to put Bai Yanqing on the bed.
Yunqi looked at the girl in his arms and put her down with some reluctance! Until this moment, Yun Qi still couldn't figure out why Bai Yanqing asked Cai Xing to send her back to this shabby little courtyard.
"Your Highness, please be patient for a moment. I'll be back as soon as you go!"
Cai Xing saw Yun Qi's anxious but helpless look, so he immediately spoke to comfort him. Then, Cai Xing went out alone.
I don't know how long it took until the cockcrow sounded, and the confused Yunqi and the others were awakened!
"How long have you been out for Cai Xing? You haven't come back yet?"
Yun Qi's face was full of sorrow, and his brows were furrowed, wishing he could pinch a fly to death!
"Master, Miss Caixing has just gone out for a cup of tea, don't be anxious!"
Yuan Ziyue saw that Yun Qi was so out of control, so he quickly picked up the conversation and replied. This was the first time he saw Yun Qi so anxious.
appearance!
Where did Yunqi go, who was decisive in killing and cold-hearted?
"Yuan Li, go out and take a look!"
Yunqi glanced at Yuan Li and asked her to go out to look for stars. When Yuan Li saw this, he ran out quickly, fearing that he would be scolded by Yun Qi if he was too slow!
As soon as Yuan Li walked to the door, he saw Cai Xing hurried back, but...there was someone following behind her!
"Caixing, you are finally back. Your Majesty... the young master has been waiting impatiently!"
Seeing that there were outsiders, Yuan Li quickly stopped and changed his words in time.
Cai Xing nodded, with a rare solemn expression on his face, without any trace of the playful expression before! Then, Cai Xing led the people behind him into the house, and Yuan Li followed suit.
"Master, this is Doctor Hua from our Zhuangzi."
Caixing blessed Yunqi and then introduced him.
"Doctor Hua, this is...our young lady's fiancé!"
Caixing turned around again and introduced him respectfully to the old man behind him.
Doctor Hua stroked his beard and his eyes were filled with light! He glanced at Yun Qi, and then bowed to Yun Qi politely.
How can Yunqi have any leisure at this moment to be polite to this strange old man? He just couldn't figure out why Cai Xing brought such an old man back!
Cai Xing also refused to explain to Yun Qi, so he pulled Doctor Hua and walked quickly to Bai Yanqing's bedside, taking three steps and two steps at a time.
That Doctor Hua was obviously helpless because of Cai Xing's entanglement. I saw him struggling, trying to take his sleeve back from Cai Xing's hand! While being pulled by Cai Xing, he staggered behind her.
Until the two of them walked to Bai Yanqing's bed, Cai Xing didn't let go!
"Doctor Hua! Please stop whining! It's important to help!"
Cai Xing pulled Doctor Hua over and almost knocked him to pieces!
Doctor Hua must have a good personality, otherwise Cai Xing would have been scolded a long time ago!
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
Doctor Hua took his time and straightened his clothes, then stretched out his hand and took Bai Yanqing's pulse. Even though everyone in the room rolled their eyes anxiously, he didn't panic at all!
"How many pills did she take?"
As soon as Doctor Hua opened his mouth, everyone in the room was instantly shocked. Only Cai Xing seemed calmer!
Yuan Li saw Bai Yanqing taking the medicine with her own eyes, and she thought to herself, this doctor is so miraculous! With a pulse, you can find out what kind of medicine Bai Yanqing is taking?
"One!"
Caixing answered honestly.
Doctor Hua nodded, indicating that he heard it, and then, without speaking, he just wrote a prescription and asked Cai Xing to get the medicine.
When Cai Xing saw the prescription, he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He raised his feet and ran out!
"Yuan Li, go with her! Horseback riding! Hurry!"
Yun Qi hurriedly spoke, and Yuan Li quickly followed! With Cai Xing's two legs, how could he outrun those with four legs? Yunqi didn't want to delay for a moment!
"No need to bother! It's just next door, just a few steps away!"
Seeing Yun Qi's nervous look, Doctor Hua quickly smiled and explained.
Within a few miles of this area, there is no human habitation. Except for some individual households, the only one is Doctor Hua’s Medicine House! She was told to ask Cai Xing to grab the medicine, but of course she wouldn’t do it, so she went to the drug store in the city to grab it!
"Can Cai Xing still recognize medicinal materials?"
Now, even Yunqi is a little curious!
"I know! This girl is really smart! She's just too lazy to learn! She's not as diligent as Miss Bai!"
From what Dr. Hua said, it seems that... Bai Yanqing also knows some pharmacology.
Yuan Li ran out with Cai Xing, bypassed a winding field road, and arrived at Doctor Hua's small medicine house! A half-height mud wall surrounds the small courtyard. Smoke is rising from the courtyard, mixed with the faint fragrance of herbs. The smell is refreshing!
Cai Xing told Yuan Li to pay attention to his steps while jumping up and down and running towards the courtyard! Inside and outside the courtyard, various Chinese medicinal materials are displayed in large or small bamboo plaques! From a long distance, you can smell the unique medicinal materials
It has a medicinal smell!
"Ling Yu!"
Caixing shouted excitedly, and not long after, he saw a handsome young man in the house!
"You...you girl, why are you back again? Didn't you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with your young lady to eat well and drink spicy food?"
The young man walked slowly to Cai Xing, looked her up and down carefully, and after confirming that the person in front of him was Cai Xing, there was a bit of joy in his eyes, but he said something like Unforgiving words!
"By the way, miss! Ling Yu, please help me quickly! Old Man Hua has to ask me to pick up the medicine. How many medicines can I know? Fortunately, you are at home! Otherwise, I would have to look for it for a while!"
Cai Xing picked out the prescription from his sleeve and waved it in front of the young man named Ling Yu.
"You! You are still the same as before, always thinking about being lazy in everything!"
Ling Yu took the prescription from Cai Xing and said helplessly.
"Okay Lingyu, help me quickly! My lady is waiting for the medicine to save her life!"
When Cai Xing saw Ling Yu whining and starting to scold her again, he jumped up and down in a hurry!
Ling Yu looked at the prescription in his hand, frowned, and then glanced at Cai Xing coldly: "She took the medicine again?"
Caixing nodded sadly.
"Don't stop her! Her body won't be able to withstand what she has to do a few more times!"
Ling Yu sighed, and then walked quickly to the medicine shelf. His eyes quickly passed over the prescription in his hand, and his hands quickly grabbed several medicinal materials from the medicine shelf.
"Okay, take it back quickly!"
Ling Yu wrapped the medicine carefully and gave it to Cai Xing.
"Aren't you coming with me?"
Cai Xing looked at him eagerly.
"The medicine is still boiling on the stove! You go back first, I'll go over later!"
Ling Yu entered the house without looking back and didn't pay any attention to Cai Xing.
Cai Xing turned around and scratched his head. A somewhat embarrassed Tong Yuanli said, "He's always been like this. Yuanli, don't mind!"
Yuan Li shook his head and said he didn't mind. After all, Yuan Li didn't know Ling Yu at all, so why would he mind talking about it?
However, what makes Yuan Li a little curious is that the young man named Ling Yu is not surprised that Bai Yanqing took the medicine! Recalling that Dr. Hua seemed not surprised by this matter before, Yuan Li had a bold idea in his mind!
Could it be that...the eldest lady of the Bai family has never been sick? Could it be that... the frail condition she showed to the world was all caused by her taking... a special drug?
Thinking of this, Yuan Li suddenly felt a little confused, as if she had never really known Bai Yanqing!
