At noon, Yan Ruocheng wanted to quietly go out through the back door and go back to see Huan's situation. Huang Chenling stopped her.
He stretched out his long legs to support the door, crossed his arms and said, "Where are you going? You are not allowed to go out until you tell me clearly."
"Shouldn't you be going back to the palace? Why do you still have time to stop me and prevent me from going out?" Yan Ruocheng said in a vomiting voice.
"You don't have to worry about when I will return to the palace. Now I ask you where you are going and you still haven't answered." Huang Chenling asked.
"Go to Brother Xian's place and check on Huan's condition. I wonder if he's awake?" Yan Ruocheng said.
"Then I'll go with you, let's go." He said and left immediately, holding her hand and striding out.
On the street, the old shops have been renovated. Some Western tourists came to the street, wearing suits and strolling to buy things. Especially embroidery shops are particularly popular and have a lot of people.
"Recently, there have been a lot of Westerners on the street. Have you opened up any policies? It has attracted so many Westerners to buy things. It has boosted the business in the city." Yan Ruocheng asked curiously.
"The great uncle asked me to let Westerners come to the city to do business. I agreed, and it turned out to be like this." Huang Chenling frowned and said with an uneasy look on her face.
"Now that the business is good, it will be easier to pay taxes. Isn't that a good thing? Why are you still frowning and so uneasy?" Yan Ruozhen looked at his expression and asked again.
"Allowing Westerners into the city is like letting the enemy in. If a war breaks out, this city will become a battlefield. The lives of the people will also be threatened." Huang Chenling told her her concerns.
.
"Let's think in a good direction first. It seems like only businessmen are coming in now, not any soldiers." Yan Ruocheng looked around and said.
Huang Chenling shook her head and said, "Silly, soldiers can dress up in disguise and they may not even notice it when they come in. Don't think about it for now, the trouble will happen sooner or later. When the time comes to fight, just fight."
It was Yan Ruozhen's turn to frown and said, "It will be the common people who will be used as cannon fodder."
"No, Western weapons are so powerful that everyone will become cannon fodder. We will meet again in the next life at any time." Huang Chenling told her even the worst plan.
Having said this, Yan Ruocheng walked a few steps quickly in front of him, jumped up, and bumped his forehead against his.
Bang! A sound.
Huang Chenling's head buzzed after being hit. She covered her sore forehead and said angrily: "Oh, are you stupid? You hit me for no reason!"
"If I don't wake you up, you are still indulging in negative emotions. You are nothing but cannon fodder. When I say you become cannon fodder, you should say that I will try my best to stop it and protect all the people. You should behave like a king.
"Yan Ruozhen put his hands on his hips and pointed at him.
They made too much noise, which attracted the attention of the people around them. Some of them looked towards them to watch the excitement.
"Stop talking, let's talk slowly over there." Seeing that she was being looked at, Huang Chenling hurriedly pulled her away.
Yan Ruozhen didn't say anything anymore and allowed himself to be dragged away by him.
Pulling her wrist like this reminded her of the first time she dated him, when he dragged her away angrily like this.
Now, so many years have passed, and she has aged a lot. She was also infected with a strange poison, and she will soon die. At this moment, she is thinking in her heart: How great would it be if she stayed on this street forever?
?For her, the most secure thing is being dragged around like this.
She quietly held the palm of his hand, it was so warm, but Huang Chenling felt that the palm of her hand was cold, just a few steps away from freezing. He couldn't help but turn around and take a look at her face.
Even though he was wearing a veil, he still looked like he was walking in such a hurry, without a trace of vitality, like a dead body being dragged by him.
He just looked at her, looked at the road, and then fell headlong into the body of a fat Western woman.
"Indecent!" The fat Western woman said in a Western language and slapped him in the face.
Although Huang Chenling was slapped, he was also punched by the handsome gentleman next to the fat woman, causing him to fall unsteadily towards Yan Ruocheng.
Yan Ruozhen didn't understand what they were saying at all, and kept pointing at Huang Chenling and scolding him. She also wanted to use violence against him.
Unable to care so much, she quickly protected Huang Chenling. Under the tug of a few people, her veil was torn off and her appearance was exposed, frightening everyone present.
"Ah! Ghost!" A common man pointed at her and screamed.
She hurriedly picked up the veil, covered her face, grabbed Huang Chenling and ran away from the crowd.
When they arrived at the lakeside, the two of them slowly stopped and took a breather to rest.
Yan Ruocheng looked at the reflection of the lake quietly by herself. Her face was really scary now. Huang Chenling helped her put the veil back on, kissed the side of her face and said:
"No matter what you become, you are still so beautiful in my heart."
"It's so fake, so fake! Have you forgotten how you used to comment on my ugly look? Almost every day you see me, you point at me and ridicule me before you give up." Yan Ruozhen was not unhappy either.
, However, when I heard him say disgusting love words to coax her, I wanted to tease him.
"I don't remember. Am I so superficial? If I were so superficial, I wouldn't fall in love with an ugly girl like you. Do you think so?" Huang Chenling teased her in turn.
Yan Ruocheng was amused by him, patted his chest and said, "You are smart."
"No need to praise me." Huang Chenling answered her in Western dialect.
"Huh? You can also speak Western?" Yan Ruocheng was surprised, she had never heard him say that before.
"Of course I know it, but I don't use it on weekdays. I was taught by the great uncle in the past. He has a very strong language talent and knows more than my father." He seemed to have thought of something and suddenly grabbed Yan Ruocheng.
shoulder and said: "You reminded me of something, hahaha."
"What did I remind you of?"
"Nothing, let's go see Huan quickly."
Huang Chenling didn't tell her because it was used to deal with Huang Tianchang. The reason why he returned to the palace later was because he hadn't thought of any way to suppress Huang Tianchang.
In the courtyard of Xian Jianlan.
Huan still hasn't woken up, it's like falling asleep.
"Are you sure there is no injury to his head? Why hasn't he woke up for so long?" Huang Chenling asked.
"I have administered acupuncture and checked several times. There is really no injury to his head. It is just that he lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss," Xian Jianlu said.
Huang Chenling stared at Xian Jianlan again, dressed in the disguise of an old doctor, and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you dressed like this?"
Xian Jianlan said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I dressed up like this to help the Emperor. He ordered me to investigate the five-storey building medical workshop in the north of the city. I want to pretend to be an old doctor and sneak in as a doctor." "Xian
Brother, after the lesson you learned last time, I think you should apply for the job in an upright manner as you were before. If you do any tricks, you might be thrown out again." Yan Ruocheng shook his head and said based on his intuition.
"I'm blocking your crow's mouth. You can tell from my appearance that I am an experienced doctor." Xian Jianluo said confidently.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Go in and see if there is any medicine that can resolve the poison on Ruo Li's body?" Huang Chenling said.
"That's exactly what I meant." Xian Jianlan nodded.
In the afternoon, Xian Jianlan left for the interview, while Yan Ruocheng and Huang Chenling stayed to take care of Huan. She went to cook the medicine alone, leaving Huang Chenling to sit in the room.
"How long do you want to be unconscious? I still have many tasks for you to do." Huang Chenling said to Huan to herself.
Suddenly, a dart was thrown in from the window. It hit Huan's bed.
"Who is coming?" Huang Chenling squinted behind her.
"See Your Majesty. This villain is a descendant of Senior Huan." A young man wearing night clothes flashed in from the window, came behind him, knelt down and saluted.
"You are the junior member of the Shadow Guard who is in charge of doing odd jobs. Why are you here? Shouldn't you be doing odd jobs in the base?" Huang Chenling could tell from his junior night suit.
"The villain is worried about Senior Huan's condition, so he came here secretly. Senior Huan usually takes good care of the villain. This time he was injured and hasn't woken up for so long. The villain is really worried." Although the young man replied superficially.
There was no problem. However, Huang Chenling didn't trust him.
"Since you see that he is not awake yet, please help him and massage his hands and feet. If he moves around, he may wake up sooner." Huang Chenling ordered.
The young man nodded, obeyed his order, stood up and came over to give Huan a massage. He quietly wanted to stab Huan's critical point while Huang Chenling wasn't paying attention.
Huang Chenling was just waiting for him to show off, and when he was about to take out the needle, she grabbed his hand and pressed him to the bedside.
"What do you want to do, stab him with a needle?"
"Let me go, you idiot! If I had known about the dart just now, I would have thrown it at you!" the young man struggled angrily and said.
"Even if you throw it at me, I can still dodge it. It's just your skill." Huang Chenling noticed that the power of this dart was average, so she doubted him.
"If you want to kill, just kill." The young man had no choice but to give up the struggle and lowered his head and said.
"Then before I kill you, please tell me why you stabbed him to death? Why do you still call me Hunjun?" Huang Chenling asked.
"It was you who killed my parents, so I want revenge." The young man said simply.
"Who are your parents? How were they killed by us?" Huang Chenling asked.
"That day, you were fighting in the forest and throwing hidden weapons randomly. My parents were killed by the Shadow Guards' hidden weapons and died of poisoning. In order to cover up this incident, they took me in. I must not have reported it to you at all.
.So you are a fool!" The young man told him the matter frankly.
After hearing this, Huang Chenling didn't know how to explain it. The death of this young man's parents was entirely due to accidental manslaughter. The responsibility indeed lies with the Shadow Guard. He is also responsible for the incident.
