"Why do you think the current Holy One ordered the death of his own son? Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, but the Holy One prefers tiger poison to eat its children."
"Shh, don't say that. The patrolling soldiers will drag you and behead them if they hear it. Now these two princes have become wanted criminals. Whoever is the emperor is the most powerful after all."
"Hey, then these two princes must have ambitions to usurp the throne, so they were killed by the emperor early."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor. It's better to worry about how to finish the war."
"Come on, let's go have morning tea."
The crowd looked at the two princes on the wanted board and gathered around to discuss.
"Mom, what are you looking at?" Xiao Ling tugged at Yan Ruocheng's sleeve.
"Nothing, let's go buy groceries." She came to her senses and dragged Xiao Ling to the market.
At dinner in the evening, she was nervously holding vegetables for Xiaoling while eating.
"Mother! You gave me a lot of green vegetables, and you still want to pick them up. I can't even finish them." Xiao Ling held up the bowl and said vomitingly.
"Children should eat more vegetables, be silent while eating, and eat quietly." Xianjian Nuo said on the side.
Xiaoling never dared to talk back to Xian Jiannan, so she flattened her mouth and continued to eat slowly.
"Ruozhen, you should eat well and stop thinking about things." Xian Jianluo knew what she was worrying about. There were wanted notices for the two princes posted all over the street. She was worried about their current situation.
After dinner, she slowly washed the dishes alone. Xian Jianlan walked up behind her, patted her shoulder gently, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, even if the Holy One issues a wanted order, it may not be possible."
Will really kill his two sons."
"Not necessarily. The wanted order states that he will be killed without mercy. His Majesty doesn't know what he thinks." She shook her head and said.
"It's useless for you to worry. You can't help them two at all. Tomorrow I'm going to help the king inspect the palace, but I also need to transport some medicinal materials to the next village. Can you do me a favor and take a carriage to deliver the medicinal materials?
I'm worried that if other people go to deliver it, they will intentionally buy the medicinal materials at a high price." Xian Jianluo said.
"Okay, it's rare that Brother Xian is willing to sell medicinal materials to the doctor in the next village at a low price. Is it really rare?" Yan Ruocheng said jokingly.
"Why do you make me sound like a miser? I have been entangled by you for so many years, and I have been influenced by you, no more, no less. Saving people is the most important thing. In the current national crisis, try to help some people in need." He looked at me.
Said with a sigh under the moonlight.
"So it's right for me to study medicine by staying with Brother Xian. Brother Xian is handsome and kind-hearted, and he knows how to save money and use it to save people when necessary." She praised him somewhat exaggeratedly.
"Okay, I'm so flattered by your praise. I'll take Xiao Ling to soak in warm water. Let Xiao Ling sleep with me tonight." Xian Jianlan said with a smile and left.
Yan Ruocheng looked at Xian Jianlan's back. She had always been grateful to him. Compared to Huang Chenling and Huang Fengmo, he was one of the more important people in her heart.
The next morning, she was responsible for delivering medicinal materials to the next village by carriage, taking the medicine box with her. Since she needed to pass through some hills to go to the next village, she was afraid of encountering bandits and robbing her wealth, so she changed her makeup into a
The ugly girl with the birthmark made up before getting on the carriage and setting off.
There was no danger, and the carriage finally arrived at the next village safely. This village was quite poor. She brought medicinal materials along with it, and also brought a few bags of rice, dried salted fish and vegetables, and a large boiler.
She asked her servants to deliver medicinal materials to the medicine shop, and she cooked a large pot of porridge with salted fish and vegetables, and set up a free clinic stall. While distributing the porridge, she helped the villagers treat various illnesses.
Soon, the villagers lined up one by one to see her for medical treatment, treating her like a living Bodhisattva. It was a pity that she didn't bring much material, otherwise she would have stayed for one more day.
Until the porridge pie was finished and people were leaving, she was cleaning up the stall, and a familiar figure watched her quietly in a corner.
She felt as if someone was watching her, so she couldn't help but raise her head and look around. She found a dark figure in a corner and deliberately walked away.
This dark shadow gave her a familiar feeling, and she immediately chased after it regardless of the situation.
When the man saw her running over, he quickened his pace, not wanting her to catch up.
"Please wait a moment!" Yan Ruocheng shouted to the man while chasing after him.
The man was wearing a shabby beggar's outfit, his hair was messy, he was dirty, but his skin was very fair. The more she looked at him, the more she thought he looked like one of Huang Chenling or Huang Fengmo. But why did he run away when he saw her?
Yes?
The louder she shouted, the faster the man ran. So angry that she took out the small steel balls used to deal with bandits from her sleeves and threw a lot of them at his feet.
The man's foot slipped and he fell heavily to the ground. His foot seemed to be sprained and he couldn't stand up for a while.
"Why are you running? The more I call you, the more you run." She ran over and squatted down while panting.
"You chase people just because you want to do something dirty. My feet are twisted." Huang Chenling said angrily.
"Chen Ling?" She was not surprised, only a little regretful, because he actually appeared in front of her dressed like this, no wonder he had to run away.
"Don't sympathize with me with that look. I just want to take you to see Brother Huang. He is sick." He said angrily.
"Then take me there quickly." She gently helped him up.
Huang Chenling couldn't help but take a clear look at her appearance, and said disgustedly: "Why are you still so ugly? Isn't there any way to cover this birthmark after seven years? It's better to dress up like before."
"Is now the time to talk about this? It's been seven years and you still care about my birthmark. Really! Didn't you always clamor to see how I look? Now you complain about my ugly appearance." She said.
He refuted it and went back. However, he was quite happy with his refutation.
The two of them went to a broken house while bickering.
Huang Fengmo suffered two arrow wounds, had a high fever, and was unconscious in bed.
"No, he was seriously injured. Why didn't you call a doctor earlier?" Yan Ruozhen checked Huang Fengmo's wound and said angrily.
"We are wanted criminals now. Where can we find a doctor to look at him? We are already laughing at him for being able to escape here." Huang Chenling said helplessly.
"We'll talk about this later. I want to take him to the hospital. Come quickly and help move him."
"Let me hold him and go."
"Didn't you sprain your foot just now?"
"This sprain is nothing."
So, the two of them brought Huang Fengmo to the medical clinic. Since the location of Huang Fengmo's arrow wound had already become inflamed, the carrion needed to be removed to reduce the inflammation.
She burned the knife, sprinkled a piece of anesthetic powder on his wound, and then slowly cut off the black rotten flesh with the knife, trying to remove the pus as much as possible. Huang Chenling watched with her heart tightening.
I haven't seen her for seven years, but I didn't expect that her medical skills are much better. In addition to being able to operate, she also knows how to sew wounds with needles and threads without leaving any traces.
An hour later, Huang Fengmo's two arrow wounds were finally treated, but the fever was still there.
"Go and boil the water first and wash yourself." Yan Ruozhen dismissed Huang Chenling beside him.
He still stood here blankly, not moving.
"What's the matter, why don't you go?"
"My feet hurt, I can't walk, and my servants always boil water for me to bathe." He said matter-of-factly.
Yan Ruocheng stared at his feet and then his whole body. He looked like a beggar prince.
"I'll go boil the water." She stood up helplessly and went out, and he followed her obediently.
"Didn't you say your feet hurt? Why did you come with me?"
"I want you to help me rub my feet while boiling water, without wasting time."
"Thank you for coming up with this reason."
"be honest."
This hospital is a place where Xian Jiannan lives. She lives in the west room of the hospital, while the servants live in the north room, so when she brings people back, no one will ask anything.
In the kitchen, Yan Ruocheng slowly built a fire and boiled water.
Huang Chenling randomly found a place to sit down, dragging her dirty cloth shoes with her. The smell of feet that hadn't been washed for half a month hit Yan Ruocheng's nose.
"How long has it been since you washed your feet?" She couldn't help turning her head and asked.
"I've been chased by soldiers for half a month, how can I have time to wash my feet? Doesn't it stink?" He shook his stinky feet and said helplessly.
"It stinks to heaven, even more stinky than the salted fish I brought here." She pressed her nose and said.
"You are despising me when you say that. Come over and rub your feet for me. It hurts." Huang Chenling flattened her mouth and said a little coquettishly.
"Can't you wash your feet and then rub them? They smell so bad now!" Yan Ruocheng said resistingly.
"When did you become so dirty? You were never like this before." He said with some displeasure.
She was a little unable to do anything to him, so she squatted over and took a look at his foot injury. It was just a slight sprain. She just needed to rub it and smooth the meridians and it would be fine.
However, it was too smelly, so she frowned and slowly rubbed his dirty feet with a grimace on her face.
Huang Chenling felt particularly funny looking at her current appearance.
"Pfft hahaha..."
"You can still laugh."
"I'm smiling, you can stay by my side slowly like before, little fool."
Why did he say love words all at once?
Yan Ruocheng's face turned a little red as he listened.
"Speaking of which, Princess, why didn't she come to find you? Why didn't she protect you even if she let you be wanted like this?" She asked in confusion.
"After the news of the defeat reached her ears, she immediately proposed a divorce." He said with a chuckle.
"It's impossible. She valued you so much back then, so why did she break up with you so easily after losing the battle?" The more she thought about it, the more she didn't believe it.
"You don't know something. In the past few years, my father and my uncle have been fighting secretly. Moreover, my father has long been suspicious of my brother and me, and his eyes have gradually become unable to tolerate us two brothers. Taking advantage of the opportunity
When the enemy invaded, he deliberately sent the two of us to fight instead of sending brave generals. He also deliberately sent some lieutenants to follow us and observe every move. Once we were defeated, he would have an excuse to punish us.
"Huang Chenling slowly explained.
"This makes me even more confused. Why do you know that you will be defeated and lose some land to deal with your two sons? Don't you think the price is a bit high?" Yan Ruozhen became more and more confused as he listened and asked analytically.
"My father has already negotiated with the emerald monarch to give him these lands. The war is just a show for the people to see, so as to facilitate the management of people's hearts in the future." Huang Chenling said with a sigh.
"Then why does the princess have to make peace with you?"
"This is because the emperor's uncle thinks that I am of no use."
"Then the Holy Emperor doesn't have your two sons, what will he do to inherit the throne?"
"I don't know. I really don't know what my father is thinking. He actually wants to kill my brother and me, so much so that I even wonder if he is his biological child?"
