Chapter 69: Re-entering Haocang Palace
The medicine ghost was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Your Majesty, who are you looking for to find a way?" Those medical officers in your palace hospital? ā
Ling Yukun ordered someone to help Rong Shu sit up, and after giving two mouthfuls of water, he motioned for him to answer this question.
Rong Shu hoarsely spoke: "Ghost King, I am your little good friend. ā
As soon as these words came out, the medicine ghost's face immediately changed: "If you dare to touch one of her hair, I will go to hell, and I will crawl out to find you." ā
"Don't dare, don't dare, absolutely don't dare." Rong Shu waved his hand again and again, "I just go to see her from time to time, bring her some snacks and toys, and then, chat casually." ā
"What did you tell her?" The medicine ghost thought back to his daughter's recent cousin, and didn't feel anything abnormal.
"Say she's interested." Rong Shu coughed twice, "She is only a few years old, and she knows a lot, so every time I go to see her, I have to stay up all night reading to be able to talk to her." ā
"Her talent is unmatched by people like you." The medicine ghost is very proud of his daughter.
"So, relying on her talent and thanks to her, the plague of Kuixian has been controlled." This is the reason why Ling Yukun is not flustered.
But the medicine ghost was a little puzzled: "She doesn't know how to heal at all, if you tell the patient's symptoms, she can't understand it, and without my poison, she can't make an antidote." ā
"Ling Yan is young, courageous, and obsessed with pharmaceuticals." Ling Yukun expressed his impression of Xiaoxiao.
Rong Shu continued: "Say it, you will definitely not think of it. She heard that there was a poison that could not be solved, so first she asked me to bring the blood of the poisoned person, and then, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and brain, for more than a month, almost every internal organ had to be passed. ā
When the medicine ghost heard this, he couldn't hide his surprise, but there was more of an approving look on his face: "Well, it only took more than a month to make it, not bad." ā
"Oh, yes." Rong Shu remembered something, "The antidote to the poison you just now was also given by Xiaoxiao. ā
"Let's go, go back to Kuixian." Ling Yukun looked at the sky and gave the order to go on the road.
"Yu Kun, I want to make a deal with you." But the medicine ghost did not move.
"You're not qualified to trade with me right now." Ling Yukun said with a cold face, "Because of your whim, the Kuixian people have suffered countless casualties, I will not make any concessions, and there is no room for accommodation." ā
The medicine ghost looked at Ling Yukun: "Xiaoxiao is only six years old after all, and what he got is not first-hand poison, no matter how high his talent is, there will always be deviations, I guess, those people have only alleviated their symptoms, and they have not recovered, right?" ā
What he said was right, Ling Yukun didn't know how to answer.
Seeing that his guess was correct, the medicine ghost continued: "I don't want Your Majesty to make any concessions, and I don't want to be accommodating. I will go back to Kuixian with you and give you the real antidote, and you promise me that you will keep your little one free for the rest of your life. ā
Ling Yukun thought for a while, felt that this deal was fair, and nodded: "Okay." As long as your antidote is true and can save those people, I will send someone to your house, take over the whole house, and provide funds so that your daughter's life in the future will be no different from the present. ā
Immediately, the two high-fived and swore an oath.
After the medicine ghost entered the prisoner car, Ling Yukun asked the entourage to help Rong Shu and Shu Kui, go to the carriage outside the cemetery and sit down, set a fire, and burned the mother who had completely turned into a zombie.
Seeing the flames rising in the distance, the sadness in Shu Kui's heart reached the extreme, and he couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
Rong Shu was silently beside him, knowing that at this moment, no matter what comfort he had, he was pale and powerless.
When the fire became smaller and smaller, until it was finally extinguished, Shu Kui was crying so much that he had no tears, and his heart was much more comfortable, but he still couldn't stop.
Rong Shu handed over a clean hand towel: "Let's mourn, think about it in a good place, your mother is also relieved." ā
Shu Kui took it, nodded slightly in thanks, and wiped his face.
At this time, Ling Yukun got in the car: "Girl, where are you going?" ā
Shu Kui thought about it and was at a loss.
"Will you take you home?" Ling Yukun asked again.
Shu Kui shook her head vigorously - there were too many sad and painful memories there.
"There don't seem to be any relatives on either side of her family, otherwise, you can take her back for the time being, what should you do in the future, and then make plans slowly." Rong Shu gave the building yƬ.
Ling Yukun felt that this was fine, so he asked Shu Kui's opinion: "I am Ling Yukun, the king of Kuixian, are you willing to go back to Haocang Palace with me?" ā
Shu Kui really didn't want to go home, and there was nowhere else to go, so he simply nodded with a heart.
"Alright, I should go back too." Rong Shu saw that everything was settled, clapped his hands, and got out of the carriage.
"I don't want to give you a ride?" Ling Yukun appreciated this boy who claimed to be the apprentice of the master of Liujin Village.
"No, you don't." Rong Shu waved his hand, "The day after tomorrow, I'll go to receive the bounty." ā
"I'll send someone." Ling Yukun said.
"No, you don't." Rong Shu stood still, turned around and solemnly repeated, "The day after tomorrow, I will go to receive the bounty." ā
Ling Yukun saw that he was so persistent, and understood that there must be some reason for it, so he didn't ask much, but said, "Okay, the day after tomorrow, I'll wait for you in Haocang Palace." ā
Rong Shu smiled, humming a song and drifting away.
Subsequently, the carriage started, and after a night of galloping, on the morning of the next day, it entered the capital of the Kuixian Kingdom, Yecheng.
Compared with what I saw when I first arrived in Sanjiang, although Yecheng at this time was also lively, the scenery on both sides of the street was completely different, and the pedestrians were all wearing ancient costumes, carrying burdens, carts of carts, and even those driving donkeys, Shu Kui looked out the window and felt like he had arrived at the shooting scene of some costume film.
"This is Ye City." Ling Yukun thought that she was attracted by the excitement of the capital, "Wait for two days, and let someone take you out for a walk." ā
Shu Kui didn't say anything, and suddenly thought that he didn't know if he would see Ling Jiuchuan when he entered the palace.
The carriage drove slowly down the street, and soon after it entered the palace walls and stopped in the square in front of the palace.
Ling Yukun got out of the car and asked in the first sentence: "What about Jiuchuan?" ā
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince has gone to play in the Matama Wood Forest." One person replied.
Ling Yukun frowned inconspicuously, summoned a few palace maids, and asked them to take Shu Kui to settle down first.
Shu Kui was running for his life before, crying again, and he didn't sleep well all night, but now when he arrived in the room, as soon as he got to the bed, he slept like he was dead, and he didn't wake up until the sun set.
Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a face.
She screamed in fright, slammed to her feet, and bumped into her face's owner.
"Who are you? How did you get in? Shu Kui rubbed his forehead, and saw that the man was also covering his head in pain and squatted to the side.
"Hey, I'm going to be a fool." It was a boy with soft dark gray curly hair, "This is my home, every room, every place, I can walk as much as I want." ā
"Ling Jiuchuan?" This voice, this attitude, must be Ling Jiuchuan.
Sure enough, the man raised his head: "Call me Your Highness, you rude human." ā
Shu Kui saw that he was much younger than he remembered, only less than twenty years old, and couldn't help but be sure: "Is it really Ling Jiuchuan?" ā
Ling Jiuchuan glared at her: "It's me, quickly kneel down and kowtow." ā
At this time, Shu Kui no longer doubted: "What are you doing so close?" ā
"I heard, you're the daughter of a medicine ghost?" Ling Jiuchuan did not answer the rhetorical question.
"It's not." Shu Kui didn't want to mention that person again, "He's not my father." ā
"He's not your father?" Ling Jiuchuan was a little surprised, "So, didn't you make the antidote you brought before?" ā
Shu Kui said "no" again and stopped talking.
"No, it's not." Ling Jiuchuan looked very disappointed, "I thought you were the little girl who wanted to finish her blood and internal organs, and you came to see it, what a waste of time." ā
Shu Kui rolled his eyes at the sky and ignored him.
Ling Jiuchuan stood up and refused to stop there, "Since the medicine ghost is not your father, why do you say that you are his daughter?" ā
"He killed my father and forced my mother to marry him." Shu Kui was concise and to the point.
"Oh, stepfather." Ling Jiuchuan understood, and still returned to the topic he was interested in before, "Who is the little girl who made the antidote?" Do you know each other? ā
"It's my mother and the daughter of the medicine ghost." Shu Kui replied.
"Your sister." Ling Jiuchuan couldn't wait for Shu Kui to call Xiaoxiao over now, "How old are you?" When do you go back and bring her with you? ā
"Look, go yourself." Shu Kui said angrily.
Ling Jiuchuan had never been treated so rudely, and he glared at him, and was about to say something, when he was interrupted by two gentle knocks on the door.
The two turned their heads and saw Ling Yukun standing by the door.
"Father." Ling Jiuchuan saluted.
"What are you running here for?" Ling Yukun frowned.
"I heard that the daughter of the medicine ghost is here, and Erchen thinks it's the one who makes the antidote, so I'm curious, let's take a look." Ling Jiuchuan answered honestly.
"I didn't see you when I came back, where did you go?" Ling Yukun changed his words.
"Uh...... Father...... Go...... Out of the palace. Ling Jiuchuan's eyes flickered.
Ling Yukun's brows furrowed even tighter: "Every day, I only know that I wander around here and there, listen to some gossip, take a group of people around, idle all day long, and don't do my job." ā
"Father, son, this is also aware of the people's feelings." Ling Jiuchuan also has to be strong.
"Aware of the people's feelings?" Ling Yukun raised his eyebrows, "Then tell me what you have noticed?" ā
"Erchen found out......" Ling Jiuchuan's mind turned quickly, "I found that the people were saying that although the little girl who made the antidote was the daughter of the medicine ghost, she was not at all like her father, who was willing to save people and kind-hearted. ā
Hearing this, Shu Kui couldn't help but sneer.
Ling Jiuchuan thought she was laughing at herself: "What are you laughing at?" Am I wrong? ā
"Wrong, very wrong." Shu Kui said unceremoniously, "The word kindness to describe Xiaoxiao is simply a joke." ā
"She is a small child, and it took more than a month to make an antidote and save everyone, isn't she kind-hearted?" Ling Jiuchuan felt that Shu Kui was simply raising the bar with him.
