Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wake Up
I was lost in darkness, without heaven and earth...... Day and night...... Nothing but myself! I don't know how long I've been wandering, just keep walking...... Keep walking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info where the hell am I? Why didn't I go back to the underworld when I died? Feeling so tired, I covered my chest, and suddenly it throbbed, and it beat so hard that the whole world seemed to tremble with it. …… It jumped again, and the world trembled. It jumped faster and harder, and little by little the world began to collapse, and the darkness was pierced by the light, and it disintegrated piece by piece. Finally even the only darkness beneath my feet disappeared, and I suddenly fell, screaming and clawing upwards, and woke up violently.
"It turned out to be a dream...... wait...... Stumped that I'm not dead? "I felt it carefully, and I realized that I was really not dead, and the feeling of being reborn after the catastrophe was amazing!
I looked around, this is a stone room? There is a statue of a maid on the four walls of the stone room, holding a candlestick in her hand, on which several oil lamps are burned, and there are some furniture and daily necessities in the stone room. I'm lying on a jade bed at the moment, this jade bed is very large, and it's bubbling with a little cold air, and there's a jade pillow on it, and I'm pillowing it. I didn't feel it when I fell asleep before, but now I woke up and lay on the jade bed, my whole body was cold and swishing, and it was getting colder and colder. I was anxious to get out of this bed, but when I really moved, I found that I had no strength at all, I struggled to climb to the edge of the jade bed, and before I could get off the ground, I rolled off the bed, and fell heavily on the ground.
Maybe I heard the movement in the stone room, and the door suddenly opened on a corner of the wall of the stone room, and a figure walked in, I was dazzled and couldn't see who it was, but I recognized the voice of someone calling my name, it was Sister Liu! Sister Liu's voice was full of joy, and she shouted while helping me: "Brother Yang! Come on, Rong'er is awake! Rong'er, she's awake! I heard footsteps hurrying towards me, came to my side and picked me up, and was about to put it back on the jade bed, but I hurriedly stopped me in a voice as weak as a mosquito: "Willow...... Sister...... I...... Cold! After Sister Liu heard it clearly, she immediately asked Brother Yang to carry me to another room, and when I lay down in a comfortable and warm quilt, I fell asleep again.
It had been three days since I really came to my senses, and I was lying in a very strange but luxurious room, with only Master, Brother Yang, and Sister Liu there, and no one else was seen. The three of them were overjoyed when I woke up, and they all had expressions of joy and relief on their faces. After Sister Liu checked my body and fed me water, food, and medicine, they were willing to let me speak.
According to them, I have been "dead" for almost two months. And this time it was Xiao Hanqian who saved me, and at the moment when Qiu Aojun unlocked the sealing magic water in my body, Xiao Hanqian used his magic power to freeze me, preventing the poison from spreading in my body, and put me on the cold jade bed to continue my life, so as to give Sister Liu time to study the medicinal properties of the poison. Sister Liu said that in fact, the poison I took on the surface was a poison that sealed my throat with blood, but in fact it was just a fake death drug, and it was not fatal at all. Sister Liu had done an experiment with the poison that my master Qianqiu got from Qiu Aojun, and the animals that were tested would wake up on their own after faking their death for a period of time, so Sister Liu deduced that the amount of poison I took was estimated to be no more than two months before I could wake up, in fact, I did wake up in less than two months.
After eating, I had some strength to speak, and said unconvinced: "Since it is a fake death medicine, how can it be said that Xiao Hanqian saved me, if he doesn't save me, won't I wake up too?" ”
My master raised the fan and was about to knock me on the head, but the fan fell into the air and stopped, and finally the master only tapped my forehead and said, "Silly girl, I don't know if I was rescued, according to our Yong'an custom, people are cremated after death, think about it, we don't know what will happen if you fake your death?" ”
I didn't have to think about it and came down in a cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... Burned alive! ”
Master said: "That's right, if it weren't for the fact that when you were about to take a breath, Han Yan froze you and used the cold jade bed to help you continue your life, we would think that you still have a breath and work hard to help you detoxify, so that your sister Liu has time to study the medicinal properties, without the tide you would have been burned to death!" ”
I am very scared in my heart now, and my teeth itch even more for Qiu Aojun: "Qiu Aojun's trick is too vicious!" ”
Sister Liu instructed and said, "Yes, she not only wants to kill you, but also wants us to be charged with murder." The purpose of the bottle of poison she left to your master is to let me study the properties of the medicine, and when I find out that we have burned you to death, she wants us to suffer for the rest of our lives, and it is unimaginable that there are such vicious people in the world. All four of us had unkind faces and fell silent.
Then I spent half a month recuperating my body, and Master left me on the second day after I woke up, and he left me homework before leaving, saying that I was very idle anyway, and it was not a physical practice. Master just asked me to take a leaf and wrap it in magic, but not to corrode it, and there was no time limit until I succeeded, so that I could practice at my leisure.
Brother Yang, Sister Liu, and an older sister named Ziyu stayed by my side to take care of me, she is Ziyan's younger sister, about the same age as Sister Liu, and she is a gentle-looking and particularly friendly sister. Sister Liu said that Ziyu was the person left behind by Xiao Hanqi, and Xiao Hanqian couldn't stay with me because of important matters, so he left after learning that my life was not in danger. As for Flame and Xiaoxue, because they were always pestering me every day, it was very difficult for Sister Liu to do things, so the master took them away to practice. Xiao Hanqi, Master, Blaze, and Xiaoxue are all in a place called Yuquan City now.
During the half-month recuperation, I learned a lot. For example, Qiu Aojun, she was convicted and beheaded by the government half a month after she was arrested; Xiao Wang Ba, who partnered with her, was not caught, and he has been wanted; Peony was brought back to Red Leaf Valley by Qiu Guangluo shortly after Qiu Aojun's death; Meng Wanrou also went to practice with his father after learning that I was fine; Ah Xiu and her grandmother still live in the medicine garden, and Ah Xiu will come to the hospital every day to learn medical skills; The other girls who were arrested by Qiu Aojun were also safe and sound; Doubao, Dou Ni, and Yan Shixuan have also come to see me many times; Anyway, after learning that my life was not in danger, everyone returned to their previous lives.
The only thing that is different is Xiao Hanqi, I learned a terrible information about his identity. That is, he is not an ordinary person, but a prince, he is the son of the fifth son of the emperor of Yong'an, that is, the grandson of the emperor, because his parents died early when he was young, he became the king of Yuquan very early, Yuquan is the name of his fief, he is the only prince among the emperor's grandchildren. Although his imperial grandfather loved him very much, Xiao Hanqian seemed to dislike to be with the royal family, and he rarely even returned to the capital, Yong'an City. He spent almost most of his time in Yuquan, and it was a miracle that he was able to live in Yong'an City for an unprecedented year this time. He never liked others to call him the prince, and people called him Xiao Gongzi in his fiefdom, and over time, almost no one called him the prince in informal occasions. As for the reason for his bad relationship with the royal family, Sister Liu is very secretive, and I don't want to ask, I hope that one day when Xiao Hanqian wants to say it, he can tell me in person. To be honest, I learned about such an important thing about his identity from others, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but I felt a little better when I thought that he didn't like to be a prince and never told others.
Ziyu said that the place where I live now is the mansion of their son-in-law in the capital. Because Gongzi rarely lives in Yong'an City, there are not many attendants here, only a few housekeepers and old servants who take care of the house. I'm not interested in any of this, i.e. listen to it as gossip. My health is gradually improving, and Sister Liu can't always stay by my side, and often has to go back to take care of the patients in the hospital. I'm very bored in the palace of Nuoda, and Ziyu is not a friend at all, how can I say it? It's not that she's bad, it's that her attitude towards me is not ordinary politeness, she always draws a clear line between me and her, so that people can't get closer to her, just like Shixuan's attitude towards me, he always takes care of the relationship between Doubao and me, and erects an insurmountable barrier between us. In this way, I basically had nothing to do every day except for the homework given to me by my master, but it suffocated me. I miss the days when Snow and Blaze would be chattering and making trouble around me; I still miss Master, even though He always fixes me; I miss Xiao Hanqian too...... Would love to ...... Very much.
After a few days of going on like this, I finally couldn't take it anymore. begged Sister Liu and Brother Yang to let me go to Master and them, but Sister Liu didn't agree at first, but she couldn't stand my dead face and endlessly entangled, and finally compromised. I went back to Sister Liu's house to pack my luggage, Ziyu actually packed my luggage and wanted to follow me, I didn't agree with her to talk about Xiao Hanqi, saying that his son-in-law wanted her to take care of me, if I didn't take her with me, she couldn't explain to his son-in-law, her ability to grind people and I had to fight, I had no choice but to agree to take her in the end, and she followed Brother Yang and Sister Liu to say that they could rest assured.
After Ziyu and I were ready, Brother Yang took us to one of his friends' house. His friend's name is Ah Shou, he is a well-known beast repellent, he has a super large eagle, it just so happens that he is going to Yuquan recently, Brother Yang asked him to go with us a little, Ah Shou readily agreed. After saying goodbye to Brother Yang, we flew away from Yong'an City in the eagle and went straight to Yuquan.
