Chapter 228: Day and Night
"Master, take a break." Cen Runle stopped his horse and looked at Rong Yuan on the side.
They traveled day and night, they hadn't closed their eyes for three days and three nights, they had been sleeping in the open, and they had been eating simple dry food to pass the time, and they were still young and tired, let alone the master.
Rong Yuan also stopped the reins, his face was a little pale, and there was always a sense of misanthropy that broke free from the red dust between his eyebrows, and he just clenched his fist to his lips and coughed a few times when he heard this.
"Master?" Cen Run was a little worried, his master was a miracle doctor, and his body was naturally excellent, when would he show such a sickness?
"Out of the way." Rong Yuan's face flushed slightly when he coughed, and he finally had some blood.
Cen Run handed the water bladder to Rong Yuan, who took it, unscrewed the lid, and only drank it in small sips, and then was interrupted by endless coughing.
Cen Run was worried, when did Master's health deteriorate so badly, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him get off the horse, and sat on a big rock on the side of the road: "Master? Why don't the apprentices find an inn and rest for the night before leaving. ā
Rong Yuan shook his head and took out a small and delicate brocade box from his arms, and when he opened it, there was a small black pill inside.
Rong Yuan picked it up and put it in his mouth, but he didn't drink water, and his cough finally stopped after a while.
"Xiaojin's time is urgent, so I can't delay, so let's continue to hurry after a short rest."
Cen Run is not worried about Nuan Jin, in fact, since he knew that Nuan Jin was poisoned, a heart has been hanging in the air, for several days, he hardly eats, drinks, or sleeps, strangely, he doesn't feel hungry or tired, he just wants to see her as soon as possible.
His only humble wish is to hope that she can be safe and happy, at least let him know that in a certain corner of this world, the woman he loves is still alive and healthy, and he has hope and hope.
I just hope that his only remaining thoughts will not be cut off like this.
He sat down quietly, recalling the scene when he found Rong Yuan in Longyin Village that day.
The Master, dressed in a cloth robe, looked like an ordinary person, and was calling for an old woman, who seemed to know him very well, and was talking about something.
He gasped and stood in the doorway, when he heard the woman ask the Master, "Where is your wife?" Why didn't you come back to Longyin Village with you? We miss her very much, young and old. ā
Rong Yuan smiled faintly, the curvature of the corners of his lips was beyond the red dust, you looked at him smiling, but it seemed that this smile was not real: "She went to a far away place." ā
The old woman sighed: "Then why don't you follow?" ā
"I still have some things to do."
The old woman nodded with some doubts: "Then let's go to your lady quickly, my old woman can see that you miss her very much." ā
Rong Yuan's expression finally changed slightly, his eyes were as light as water, soft as the wind in April: "Yes, I really miss her." ā
After that, the old woman said a lot of miscellaneous things, but Rong Yuan didn't talk again, just silently prescribed medicine for the old woman, and went to dispense medicine for her personally.
Since the prince's accident, Rong Yuan was implicated, and he came to Longyin Village alone. Rong Yuan was not interested in the affairs of the court, if it wasn't for the first queen, he would not have entered the palace to be a prince.
Later, the first queen died, and he was even more in a mood, just when the emperor reprimanded, he simply left the palace and left the Tianci City.
Longyin Village was the place where Rong Yuan and the first queen hid incognito, and the two of them really spent a few years here as a fairy couple, and I believe this is also the most unforgettable and beautiful memory in Rong Yuan's life.
Therefore, after he left Tianci City, he did not return to the Valley of Resurrection, but came to this small village full of memories for him and the former queen, and lived alone in those years.
And when Cen Run came, he wasn't much surprised, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and after he explained his intention, Rong Yuan just nodded, returned to the room to pack a simple bag, and set off with him.
Master's concern now is just to hope that the two children of the former queen can be safe.
"Master......" Cen Run's eyebrows had an unsolvable worry, "The eldest princess's poisonous ...... Is it really dangerous? ā
Rong Yuan nodded: "Nine deaths and one life, even if it can be detoxified, it will leave sequelae, not to mention that there are thousands of Gu worms in Miaojiang, and the toxicity is different, I don't know what kind of poison Xiaojin is......"
Rong Yuan rarely has such uncertain times, he is a peerless miracle doctor, and he has the ability to bring the dead back to life, but even he is not sure......
Rong Yuan glanced at Cen Run, he rarely likes to chat with people, most of the time he is silent, I think one is that Cen Run is his apprentice, and the other is because he is good with Nuan Jin and Xuan Ning, so I think it is more cordial.
"You're worried about her." Rong Yuan's tone did not have the slightest doubt, but seemed to be narrating an ordinary matter.
Cen Run raised his head and quickly concealed the panic that flashed in his eyes: "Your Royal Highness is the eldest princess, and she is also the most important person in the Lord of Long Live, so as a slave, she is naturally worried about her master." ā
Rong Yuan smiled indifferently, a little inadvertently: Do you want to deal like this with me? ā
Cen Run was a little embarrassed: "Please also ask Master to atone for your sins." ā
Rong Yuan sighed: "You are a smart person, and you know best what you can and can't touch." ā
How could Cen Run not understand what Rong Yuan meant, he clenched his fists: "Apprentice understands...... IāI'm just worried about her. ā
Rong Yuan didn't say anything, thinking that he was also deeply involved, and he couldn't pass the hurdle of love, so what qualifications did he have to talk about others?
He sighed and handed the water bladder to Cen Run: "Let's go." ā
Cen Run nodded, and the two of them turned over and got on their horses and disappeared into the boundless night.
A month is about to pass, and although Nuan Jin is getting worse and worse, he is awake most of the day.
It's just that her spirit is getting more and more decayed, and sometimes she doesn't even have the strength to raise her eyes when she sits there, and she is surprised to find that her eyesight is not as good as before, and her eyes always seem to be shrouded in white, and her vision of people is becoming more and more unclear.
And Rong Yuan delayed the future, making his hope gradually dim.
She has been thinking a lot about it these days, and she has slowly accepted the fact that she is about to die, and although she still has so many regrets, she has become unable to take care of it now, she is more like waiting for death to come, and the only prayer is that it will not be too tragic at that time.
She asked Tao Tao and Nan Yi to circle a small world behind the camp tent, and no one was allowed to visit, including Jin Xiangrong, who was ruthlessly stopped outside by Nan Yi.
"Master......
Nuan Jin opened her eyes with great effort and answered weakly.
Tao Tao's expression was solemn, his eyes were full of worry, and he covered the warm brocade sitting in the soft chair with a blanket: "Be careful of catching a cold." ā
Nuan Jin nodded imperceptibly: "What time is it?" ā
"It's just getting dark, and it's time for the master to finish his meal."
"I'm not hungry."
"Eat something even if you're not hungry." Tao Tao was wrapped in a large bag of tears in his eyes, for fear that it would fall and make Nuan Jin even more unhappy.
"Tao Tao ......" Nuan Jin's thin lips opened lightly, and he laboriously pulled Tao Tao's hand and motioned for her to sit next to him.
Tao Tao sat down obediently and looked at Nuan Jin seriously: "What's wrong with the master?" "I always thought I could find you a good man......"
"Why do you say that?" Tao Tao's eyes were red, "The slave and maid have all said, the slave and the maid will guard the master and will not go anywhere." ā
Nuan Jin smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe his tears for Tao Tao: "The master is gone, who do you want to guard?" ā
"Master!" Tao Tao immediately roared in horror: "You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" You're going to be in good luck! Mrs. Rong will definitely arrive. ā
Nuan Jin smiled when he heard this: "I don't know if he came, if he really came, I, as a student, would be too unfilial, and I actually tossed the master over." ā
"So you have to cheer up, otherwise Taifu Rong will really be furious when he comes."
"Master is furious? I haven't seen it yet, but I'd love to see it. "Mrs. Rong has been immortal all her life, and she seems to have never been angry, unlike her father, who is about to lose her temper at every turn.
"Master......
"Huh?"
"I've been worried about you, right? He stayed outside the tent almost every day, watching as everyone lost weight...... You don't see him? ā
"It's gone, but it's even more reluctant to see it...... It's not as worrying as this. ā
Tao Tao was so sad that she didn't know how to comfort her: "Master, Master Ma is pitiful." ā
"You don't blame him?"
"The slave is still angry with him, but I think he should have his own helplessness."
"Right...... It's not easy for each of us. ā
"Master." Nan Yi walked out of the tent, "Red Sleeves has come to see you, and he is kneeling outside the tent, saying that he is worried about the master, and if he can't see the master, he can't afford to kneel." ā
"If she is willing to kneel, let her kneel, what a big official, dare to threaten our master." Tao Tao was angry when he heard her, and the relief of Jin Xiangzhi who had just risen disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Nuan Jin chuckled: "Let her in." ā
"Master!" Tao Tao shouted in surprise, the master of the horse didn't let him in, why did he let her in?
Nuan Jin patted Tao Tao and signaled her to be calm: "Nan Yi passed her in." ā
Nan Yi's expression was solemn: "Yes." ā
After a while, the red sleeves followed Nan Yiyi, she carried a food box, saw Nuan Jin, and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye: "Concubine, please say hello to the eldest princess." ā
Nuan Jin sat on the soft chair with a smile on her eyebrows: "You have become the master, and the palace has not congratulated you yet." ā
Red sleeves: "It's the concubine who deserves to die, and without the consent of His Royal Highness, she became a lady." ā
Nuan Jin didn't care: "Since it is rewarded by the master, it is your blessing, you have to cherish it well, and it is the best policy to serve the master well." ā
"The concubine understands."
Nuan Jin glanced at the food box beside her: "What did you take?" Is it for Hongu? ā
Red Sleeves was stunned, and hurriedly opened the food box, which contained a bowl of lotus seed soup.
"This is boiled by the concubine's own hands, I hope it can be tasted by the eldest princess."
"Master......" Tao Tao shook his head, but Nuan Jin smiled and stretched out his hand. Take it, Hongu happens to be a little hungry. ā
"Master!" Tao Tao wanted to say that he hadn't tested for poison yet, so he couldn't put his mouth down, but before he could say it, the curtain behind him was suddenly opened, accompanied by a scream: "Your Highness is poisonous!" Can't eat! ā
