Chapter 140: Prosperous
Mu Feng remembered that when he was very young, he had heard such a story from Dongfang Jing's mouth.
During the reign of the imperial grandfather, the princess of Xisha, Mu Jingxi, was born with brown and curly hair, which was unusual for ordinary people, and the imperial doctors, who could not find out the reason, finally concluded that Mu Jingxi was cursed by something unclean when she was in her mother's womb.
In desperation, the emperor had no choice but to quietly foster the princess to a mountain farming family, and secretly sent someone to visit the Mingyan Continent to find a master who could turn the princess's hair back.
After searching for ten years to no avail, when the emperor was about to give up, a Jianghu doctor named Wei Ye appeared in the court with a princess who was full of green silk and overwhelmed the country.
The emperor was happy, and rewarded Wei Ye lavishly, and because he made a lot of pills that regulate internal breath and can quickly help people practice martial arts, the emperor left him in the Tai Hospital, specializing in alchemy and medicine.
In the next two years, the strength of the Xisha country increased greatly, and many crusades against the surrounding countries were carried out, the strength of the soldiers soared, and the victory was repeated, for a time, Wei Ye's name spread throughout the Xisha country, and the emperor was overjoyed, and he was named the head of the Tai Hospital.
He Lai, the former director of the Tai Hospital, who was demoted, was unwilling, full of resentment, and developed poison to kill Wei Ye, but was discovered by Wei Ye and driven out of Xisha by the emperor.
Since Wei Ye became the head of the Tai Hospital, because he continued to develop pills that enhance the internal breath of the muscles and veins, the strength of the Xisha Kingdom has grown day by day, and it has gradually formed the second largest country in the Mingyan Continent after the Baixi Kingdom, and the title of the medicine god Wei Ye has spread throughout the entire Mingyan Continent.
In order to consolidate the status of the country, the emperor was determined to send Mu Jingxi, the first beautiful princess of Xisha, to the Baixi Kingdom and relatives, Wei Ye, who liked the princess, wanted to propose marriage to the emperor, and the emperor used Wei Ye's love for the princess to threaten that if he insisted on marrying the princess, he would make the strange things about the princess's hair unusual to the world public.
In order to protect the reputation of the princess, Wei Ye had no choice but to compromise and took the initiative to ask for orders to escort the princess to Baixi Country and relatives with Dongfang Jing, the first general of Xisha.
The emperor of Baixi fell in love with Mu Jingxi at first sight, and set up a banquet for her all day long, and the palace sang and danced every day.
In the palace, the depressed Wei Ye met the beautiful and enthusiastic chief dancer of the palace, Luo Yijin, whose appearance was like a sun, illuminating his almost dark life.
The two quickly fell in love, Wei Ye paid tribute to the emperor a batch of pills that helped people who practiced martial arts to increase their internal breath, and the emperor Longyan Dayue followed his wishes, gave Luo Bijin to him, and agreed that she would follow Wei Ye back to Xisha to get married.
After a year of calm, Wei Ye suddenly received a secret letter from Mu Jingxi from the palace asking for help.
Because of the emperor's favor, Mu Jingxi made countless enemies in the palace, and many officials in the court wanted to seize her handle and kill her.
Three months ago, the prince who was pregnant for ten months came to the world, which was a happy thing, but three months later, the prince's hair grew longer, and the hair born was brown curly, exactly the same as Mu Jingxi's original hair.
Mu Jingxi, who was living in the palace step by step, was afraid that the emperor would know that the prince's hair was different from ordinary people, and he would be regarded as an ominous person and put him to death, and she didn't dare to use the potion that Wei Ye used to hide her hair on the little baby, Mu Jingxi had no choice but to write to Wei Ye for help.
Knowing that Mu Jingxi was in trouble, Wei Ye didn't have time to inform Luo Bijin, who was pregnant at home, and hurried to Baixi Country.
Soon after, a major event occurred in the White Seal Kingdom, the princess Jing Guifei of the Xisha Kingdom died of illness, and the emperor was grief-stricken, and ordered the White Seal Kingdom to ban red for a year, and everyone was plain.
Wei Ye, who learned that the cause of Mu Jingxi's death was strange, found the murderer's hiding place in the night city, and in anger, he was alone, staining the murderer's hiding place with blood, and then fought with a masked man with strong martial arts, and finally a group of secret guards appeared to rescue the masked man who was on the verge of death.
As soon as Wei Ye, who returned to Xisha Kingdom, arrived home, he saw He Lai leading a group of secret guards, tying up Luo Rujin, putting a sword around her neck, and threatening Wei Ye.
The vengeful He Lai told Luo Yijin everything about Wei Ye and Mu Jingxi in front of the two of them.
Luo Rujin, who was provoked by him, was like a knife, crying silently, and for a while her anger knotted in her heart, and the child in her womb, who was more than three months old, turned into blood and flowed out of her body.
He Lai used Luo Rujin's life to force Wei Ye to take the poison he made himself, in order to quickly treat Luo Rujin, Wei Ye took the poison and rescued Luo Rujin from He Lai's hands.
It's just that he didn't expect that Luo Rujin was also forced to take the same poison as him before, although he developed the antidote in time, he was never able to relieve the sequelae caused by the poison.
Therefore, the two of them turned white overnight.
The guilt and remorse for Luo Bijin in his heart made Wei Ye unable to raise the courage to face her, and struggled for a long time, and finally he chose to escape, regardless of the anger of Emperor Xisha, he resolutely resigned from his official position, left alone, hid himself, and silently guarded the people he cared about in his own way.
And those many countries wanted to find his help, and sent people to search the entire Mingyan Continent, but they never found any trace of him.
Since then, there has been no such person as Wei Ye on the Mingyan Continent.
……
"When did you come?"
Luo Rujin took Wei Fanhua back to his house, looked at the person in front of him with some red and swollen phoenix eyes, and made a pot of flower tea for him.
"A few days ago, Xiaobai asked me for something."
He took a sip of his tea and replied casually.
The teapot in Luo Rujin's hand trembled slightly, carefully put it down, looking at the face that she thought about day and night, her eyes were moist again,
"More than 20 years ......"
Wei Fanhua's eyes flashed slightly, "Yes, it's been more than twenty years!" ”
"You...... All right? She asked softly.
"Over the years, I have found a quiet place, planted a lot of flowers and plants, and lived a fairly leisurely life." He didn't know what the best answer was, so he had to give a rough idea.
The corners of Luo Rujin's mouth twitched slightly, and there was melancholy between his eyebrows,
"According to your method back then, I also planted some flowers and plants, which grew very well, and it was a very useful method."
She thought of the flowers and plants in her courtyard in the palace, and asked,
"You arranged the years you lived in King Jing's Mansion?"
Wei Fanhua lowered his eyes and looked at the tea, "Xiaobai is my apprentice, with him, you are very safe." ”
"Why don't you come to me?"
A tear fell from her eyes. Wei Fanhua hesitated for a moment, and his originally loud and beautiful voice was obviously hoarse at the moment,
"I ...... I'm afraid to see you. ”
"Why don't you dare?"
"What happened back then has always been in my heart, and I can't forgive myself." His tone was full of self-reproach and remorse, and the teacup was held tightly in his hand, as if it would break at any moment.
She also hated and resented what happened back then, but the longer the time went on, the longer the days, Luo Bijin found that the last thing left in her heart in the long years was to miss him boundlessly. finally looked forward to the real appearance of the person in front of her, whether it was love or hate, at this moment she just wanted to ask,
"Brother Ye, have you ...... over the years? Ever thought about me? ”
Her words hit Wei Fanhua's heart hard, for Mu Jingxi, he has no nostalgia for him for a long time, and he only regards her as a sincere confidant of himself here; And for Luo Rujin, the sunshine that illuminates life, how can he not be fascinated?
Looking at the face in front of him that left a few traces of time, he regretted why he had to run away in the first place, why he missed each other's most beautiful years......
"Like brocade, there is no such person as Wei Ye in this world,"
He looked at her deeply, and a soft smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth,
"I am prosperous, Wei prosperous."
"Prosperous ......"
Luo Rujin read softly, and his thoughts flew back to more than twenty years ago, when they were planting flowers at their home in Xisha Kingdom, he said to her,
"There is a word called 'blossoming flowers', and Madame is that 'like brocade'."
"I'm like a brocade, then you're a flower!"
"Flowers are like a girl, prosperous is good?"
"That's good, I, like brocade, you, prosperous!" ……
Those pictures seemed to be just yesterday, Luo Rujin had mixed feelings, threw herself into Wei Fanhua's arms, hugged him and cried bitterly, "I've been looking for you for so many years, why don't you appear...... I don't blame you anymore...... I don't blame you for a long time...... But it's been more than 20 years...... I...... I'm getting old......"
Tears soaked Wei Fanhua's clothes, he held her in his arms, his eyes were red and glowing with tears, and his hand caressed the silver thread on her head,
"Not old, my brocade, never old."
