Zhou Yan came back to his senses, slowly smiled and said, "Girl, the more you grow up, the more unruly you become. You are still as fiery as when you were a child. This temper is really like your mother's."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at him suspiciously, and said: "Huh, do you know my mother very well? You have never been back to Zhoujiapu a few times. You don't even know my father, let alone my mother? You
I'm afraid you have forgotten that you are from Zhoujiapu, right?"
Zhou Yan could hear the resentment in these words, but he could only pretend as if nothing had happened.
"People from Zhoujiapu may not necessarily live in Zhoujiapu. Isn't it the same everywhere?"
"You..." Zhou Yan was speechless, and suddenly realized that the second uncle she had not seen for more than ten years was much older than before.
Recalling the times I got along with him in the past, the anger in my heart disappeared involuntarily, and my tone became better.
"Second uncle, everyone in the family misses you very much, don't you know? When dad passed away, he still missed you, but you didn't even come to see him for the last time..."
Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly. Hearing Zhou Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
Zhou Yan didn't have the intention to pursue these matters now. She paused and said directly: "You came here today to ask you to save King Chen. If you don't save him, he will die."
Zhou Yan caught the worried look on Zhou Yan's face and asked the key question: "What is your relationship with King Chen?"
Zhou Yan didn't expect that he would ask this. She was immediately panicked and said with twinkling eyes: "It doesn't matter. I just sympathize with him for being poisoned at such a young age."
"Since it doesn't matter, what do you have to worry about? Whether he is alive or dead, what does it have to do with you?"
"I..." Zhou Yan didn't know how to explain. She hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence, "Oh, anyway, no matter what, you must save him."
Zhou Yan smiled indifferently and said, "Why do I have to save him? He has nothing to do with me. Even if he dies of poison, I won't pity him. Why bother?"
Zhou Yan looked at him in astonishment, unable to believe that these words came from the second uncle she had always admired.
"Second uncle, how can you say that? You are a doctor, isn't it what you should do to treat illnesses and save people? You were not like this before!"
"In the past, I couldn't help but think of a certain past event, and then asked: You are for him, but his heart is not with you. In fact, she understood what Zhou Yan meant, and she was just pretending to be stupid."
Zhou Yan shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You don't have to pretend to be stupid in front of me. I can see what you are thinking at a glance. If you didn't have feelings for King Chen, why would you follow him all the way here?
"
"Second uncle! I, I..." Zhou Yan has never been thin-skinned, but she was a little embarrassed in front of her elders. She hesitated and simply admitted: "Yes, I do like King Chen, so I don't want to
I want him to die."
Zhou Beard said: "But King Chen has already married Ye Fuxun, and he doesn't have you in his heart. No matter how good you are to him or how much you pay for him, he can't see it."
"That's my business, so you don't have to worry about it, uncle," Zhou Yan's cheeks were a little red, she walked over to Zhou Yan and sat down, pleading:
"Second uncle, I know that your medical skills are the best in the world. With your help, you will be able to help King Chen detoxify him very quickly. Just help me and save him, okay?"
"You know how to flatter him, do you really like him that much?"
Zhou Yan nodded firmly and said, "Whether he likes me or not, I know that I like him, and I want him to live well."
"What if he doesn't survive?" Zhou Yan asked again.
A sad look immediately appeared on Zhou Yan's face, and she said: "If he dies, I'm afraid I will never be happy again in this life.
It’s funny, I’ve only known him for a few months, and he hasn’t said a few words to me, or even looked at me, but I just like him, and no matter where I go, my eyes can’t help but
Lean into Him.”
It's hard to explain things like feelings.
Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Yan, his eyes unconsciously showing some kindness, and then he sighed and said: "In that case, it's okay, I'll give it a try."
Zhou Yan jumped up excitedly: "What? Second uncle, you mean, you agreed? Did you really agree?"
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I just agreed to give it a try. As for whether I can prepare an antidote, I'm not sure yet."
"Great, thank you, second uncle! Second uncle has superb medical skills and will definitely be able to prepare the antidote. I have confidence in you!" Zhou Yan smiled brightly, like a blooming peony.
"After you go back, ask King Chen to come to my place again. I have something to say to him." Zhou Yan said thoughtfully, his expression becoming a little solemn.
Zhou Yan didn't notice this, she was just excited and agreed: "Okay, I'll tell King Chen right now! Second uncle, I'm leaving first."
Watching Zhou Yan run away quickly, Zhou Yan looked far away at the sky with white clouds outside, as if he saw the beautiful smile of his young wife in a trance, and gradually revealed a gentle smile.
Zhou Yan ran all the way back to the farmhouse. Bai Yuxian and Ye Fuxun were walking in the small courtyard in front of the door.
"Your Majesty, Sister Ye, I have some good news for you!"
Ye Fuxun saw her running over in such a hurry, panting, and her face turned red, so he asked curiously: "What's the matter in such a hurry?"
Zhou Yan leaned over and took a few deep breaths before saying intermittently: "Just now, just now, I have been to... the green bamboo forest. I met my second uncle, and that... he has agreed to try to detoxify the prince."
"Is it true?" Ye Fuxun's eyes suddenly lit up, shining like stars, "Senior Zhou really agreed? Is it true?"
Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes, my second uncle told me personally." After saying that, she looked at Bai Yuxian and said: "My lord, your poison will be cured soon."
Bai Yuxian was silent, frowning thoughtfully. How could Zhou Yan suddenly agree? And he agreed after Zhou Yan had been there. Could it be that Zhou Yan persuaded him?
Zhou Yan thought Bai Yuxian would at least act happy, but she didn't expect to see his distressed expression, which puzzled her.
"Is the prince unhappy?"
"No, I'm just surprised." Bai Yuxian shook his head and said.
Zhou Yan has a simple heart, and she thought that Bai Yuxian must not believe it for a moment when she suddenly received good news. "By the way, my second uncle asked me to call you over, probably to see how you are doing."
Ye Fuxun knew Bai Yuxian well, so he knew that he might have something on his mind because he was frowning at this time, but now was not the time to ask about this.
"Your Majesty, Senior Zhou asked you to go there, so go quickly and don't keep him waiting."
"Yes." Bai Yuxian nodded and walked towards the green bamboo forest.
