Qin Rushuang had already turned her attention to Xie Xun.
Xie Xun could only bite the bullet and quickly explained, "It was an emergency. It was indeed me who took care of your medicinal bath, but I had already covered my eyes with a cloth. Don't worry, I didn't see anything...
…”
Fortunately, Xie Xun was in a hurry to collect pithworts and come back to take care of Qin Rushuang, so when he left, he was still wearing the torn undershirt.
He didn't care about the presence of outsiders, etiquette and other rules, and immediately took off his outer robe, revealing a missing piece of his inner garment.
"Look, this is the undergarment I tore off to cover my eyes. I really didn't..."
Qin Rushuang was silent.
Xie Xun didn't see anything with his eyes covered, but...
How she, a comatose person, got into the medicinal bath, and how she was helped to put on clothes, she didn't want to imagine...
Jin Erkan looked at the two of them even more strangely.
"You two have been married for many years, and I heard that you have already given birth to a child. Why, you have to blindfold your wife while you wait for her to take a bath? What kind of new love between the young couple is this?"
Qin Rushuang really didn't want to worry about these things in front of an outsider.
She rubbed her brow tiredly, waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I can do it myself next time."
After speaking, he confirmed with Jin Erkan, "There shouldn't be any need to go to the cave anymore, right?"
Jin Erkan nodded: "No need to go. Next, you have to take a bath with the marrow-cleansing grass twice. Let the medicinal effect of the marrow-washing grass invade your meridians and bone marrow, wash away the messy air on your body, and then you can practice me.
That’s your set of exercises.”
At this moment, Jin Erkan finally came to his senses.
She looked back and forth between the two of them suspiciously, "Why are you two so different? Could it be..."
Qin Rushuang said quickly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm shy."
Jin Erkan's face darkened, "I hate people lying to me the most. If you let me know that you are hiding something from me, you will consider the consequences yourself!"
Qin Rushuang nodded obediently and motioned for Xie Xun to follow her back to the room.
After returning to the room, Qin Rushuang was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Xie Xun, "Don't act too quarrelsome with me in the future in front of Jin Erkan."
"The things between the two of us...can't be explained to her clearly."
She sighed and said, "Sure enough, if you tell a lie, you have to use countless lies to make up for it."
Qin Rushuang had a headache.
Although Jin Erkan keeps saying that she likes Xie Xun, a handsome man, she seems to prefer to see the loving and harmonious relationship between her and Xie Xun.
Whenever I see the two of them together, I always feel that Jin Erkan's eyes will become very happy.
Qin Rushuang rubbed her eyebrows.
Today, she learned from Jin Erkan that it takes three days to use the marrow-cleansing grass every time. Calculating this, she should be able to get the technique in ten days at most.
And the time agreed with Jin Erkan has definitely been reached. When the time comes, take the medicine you requested and the exercises, and leave quickly...
Qin Rushuang told Xie Xun her thoughts, and Xie Xun nodded.
There was some bitterness in his tone that was not easily noticeable.
"I understand. We're just having fun. I won't go overboard. You don't have to remind me again and again."
Three days later.
It’s time for the second bath of marrow-washing herbs.
This time, Xie Xun didn't need Qin Rushuang to remind him. He covered his eyes and turned around. When he heard that Qin Rushuang had sat in the tub, he took off his clothes and climbed into another bathtub with his back on his back.
bucket.
After taking a medicinal bath, Jin Erkan checked the meridians for the two of them.
"It's almost done. If you try it again, you should be able to practice my technique."
Jin Erkan sighed with emotion, "Time flies so fast. I originally wanted to keep you here for a little longer, but now I'm thinking, after the last time I use the marrow-washing grass to cleanse the muscles and bones, I will teach you how to practice that technique.
Just leave."
"Senior, the medicine we asked for..."
Jin Erkan nodded, "I'll give it to you."
Jin Erkan had a lot of experience in his life and had an unstable temperament, but these two people really suited him.
She knew that the two of them were still burdened with many things, and although she felt a little reluctant to let go, she didn't want to delay the young couple for too long.
Time flies by.
After the last marrow-cleansing herbal bath, Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun got the hard-to-find fire-based exercises.
Both of them have made great achievements in martial arts. Jin Erkan didn't need to worry about it. They only had to teach it once and they both knew it.
They stayed in the cabin for a total of eleven days. This time was neither long nor short. When it was time to leave, Qin Rushuang felt a little reluctant to leave.
This was the most peaceful few days she had spent in such a long time.
He and Xie Xun were like an ordinary country couple, collecting firewood, lighting fires, and cooking all day long. Jin Erkan occasionally asked them to go to the fields to help with some farm work.
The physical exertion frees the brain from the complicated thoughts in the mind, and the whole person gains an unprecedented calmness.
But Qin Rushuang knew that this peace was limited, because there were still many things waiting for them to do ahead.
Jin Erkan gave the exercises and medicine to Qin Rushuang.
"Everything has a cause and effect. This medicine... is good medicine but also evil. How to use it depends on whether you can keep your heart."
Jin Erkan pointed at the small porcelain vase.
"There are a total of thirty pills in this. It can be taken continuously for one month. Remember, do not use this medicine unless it is absolutely necessary. The formula of this medicine has been destroyed by me. This is the only one left in the world.
Thirty pills, you can use them as you see fit."
Qin Rushuang nodded, "Junior knows, we are just preparing for emergencies, after all..."
Jin Erkan waved his hand, "You don't have to explain so much to me. After this farewell, we will meet again later. I won't keep you here today. Go back early."
It was noon when Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun said goodbye to Jin Erkan, and by the time they returned to the Nanman Palace, it was already close to midnight.
They didn't tell anyone about their return.
After returning to the Nanman Palace to meet Qin Rufeng, Qin Rushuang prepared to take her children back to Daqi's military camp the next day.
Early the next morning.
Qin Rushuang asked someone to bring a message to Mu Duo, while she had already packed her bags.
Perhaps because she had a child, she became increasingly unable to face the separation from her friends and relatives, and planned to leave the Nanman Palace quietly.
And Xie Xun had this intention. He had long wanted to take Qin Rushuang back and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
At the gate of the Nanman Palace, several soldiers were holding simple luggage, Xie Xun was holding the child, and Qin Rushuang was walking in front.
Qin Rushuang looked back at the majestic palace behind her.
"Why, I feel so reluctant to leave? Why don't we go and say goodbye to Mu Duo?" Xie Xun asked sourly.
Qin Rushuang shook her head with some emotion in her tone.
"No, I was just thinking that the next time I see people from the Southern Barbarians, maybe it will be... when the Southern Barbarian envoys pay their respects."
Xie Xun's heart moved.
The new emperor ascends the throne, and all nations pay homage to him.
It turns out that she also has their future in her heart.
The couple left the Nanman Palace with their children and rushed towards the Daqi Military Camp along the dense forest. However, before they could get out of the dense forest, they were intercepted by Mu Duo.
"Sister, help me! I don't want to stay in Nanman! My mother wants to kiss me again! Take me with you! Take me with you to Daqi!"
