Li Yangzhou saw Ning Yan who opened her eyes and lost her voice.
Ning Qingyan also looked back. Ning Yan, who was sleeping, opened her eyes at some point.
But these eyes no longer had the hollowness and haziness that Li Yangzhou had seen in the past, but had regained some clarity.
This familiar look in his eyes made Li Yangzhou couldn't help but recall the time when Ning Yan was not ill. His nose felt sore and he knelt down beside the bed with his legs.
"Old General, you finally woke up!" Li Yangzhou's voice was filled with tears.
Ning Qingyan sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, a little at a loss.
After her soul awakened, she regarded herself as Ning Qingyan, and took Ning Mansion and Ning Yan under her wings.
Otherwise, he would not want to save Ning Yan.
However, Ning Yan was in a coma and confused at that time. In Ning Qingyan's eyes, the identity of the patient was greater than that of a relative.
But now...
The moment Ning Qingyan's eyes met Ning Yan's, a mysterious affinity and blood relationship grew in her heart.
Grandparents and grandchildren who depend on each other seem to have a natural sense of intimacy.
Ning Qingyan subconsciously covered her heart, and the beating of her heart made her emotions waver with excitement.
Under Ning Yan's gaze, she seemed to have found someone she could trust.
Ning Qingyan, who had been betrayed and hurt by family affection, actually developed a desire for family affection after a thousand years?
There was a bit of dodge in Ning Qingyan's eyes, and she wanted to take back the hand held by Ning Yan.
"Yan...er..."
However, Ning Yan spoke with difficulty, but Ning Qingyan stopped moving.
"Yes, it's the eldest lady! Old General, how long has it been since you took a good look at the eldest lady!" Li Yangzhou, who was immersed in excitement, did not notice anything strange about Ning Qingyan.
Ning Qingyan suppressed her confusion and looked at Ning Yan again.
Ning Yan, who had just woken up, was still very weak.
However, when Ning Qingyan looked over, he still tried his best to smile lovingly.
This smile almost made Ning Qingyan lose control of her mind.
That is an old man's wholehearted care and bond with his only blood relative!
At that moment, Ning Qingyan believed that if someone asked Ning Yan to trade his life for hers, he would agree without hesitation.
"Grandpa, it's me." Ning Qingyan took the initiative to speak, not knowing whether it was because of this momentary touch.
Ning Yan's eyes were slightly red, and he groped around on his body tremblingly.
Ning Qingyan and Li Yangzhou didn't know what his plan was, and they couldn't help him.
After a while, Ning Yan took out a unique jade pendant and stuffed it into Ning Qingyan's hand.
Ning Qingyan's eyes fell on the hand holding the jade pendant, which still retained the residual warmth of Ning Yan's body.
"Take it...well, don't let...people know..." Ning Yan said intermittently.
It seemed that this awakening had consumed all the energy he had saved.
After saying this, Ning Yan fell asleep again.
…
In the pharmacy, Ning Qingyan picked up medicine for Ning Yan again.
That jade pendant... Ning Yan fell asleep before she could say what it was.
Li Yangzhou walked in, came to Ning Qingyan, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you want to tell Prince Ding about the old general's awakening?"
"Why should you tell him?" Ning Qingyan asked in confusion.
Li Yangzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, "When King Ding came, he asked about the old general's situation."
"Didn't you block it back?" Ning Qingyan said.
"..." Li Yangzhou was confused.
Originally, seeing that his eldest daughter was anxious to consummate the marriage with Prince Ding, he thought that the eldest daughter was very satisfied with Prince Ding and had chosen Prince Ding as her husband.
Therefore, he changed his attitude towards King Ding.
However, why does it seem that the eldest lady doesn't care much about Prince Ding now from her tone?
I don’t understand!
I really don’t understand!
Ning Qingyan muttered: "Grandpa's body has been eaten away by poison for many years. It will take a certain amount of time to fully recover. Before that, don't let any news about grandpa's health."
Li Yangzhou narrowed his eyes and nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
"Miss, is that jade pendant related to Ning Mansion's Xuanmen qualifications?" Li Yangzhou thought for a while and asked.
Ning Qingyan shook her head, "I don't know. We can only know the answer when grandpa wakes up completely."
In fact, Ning Qingyan just didn't want to give up Ning Mansion's Xuanmen qualifications, let alone fall into the royal scheme.
She herself doesn't care much about the so-called Taoist qualifications.
However, she must go to the mysterious world where spiritual energy is more abundant.
"Then the eldest lady must put it away." Li Yangzhou reminded.
Ning Qingyan said ‘hmm’.
After giving brief instructions, Li Yangzhou left first.
In the Ning Mansion, there was no one in charge, so he, the housekeeper, could only handle the matter of receiving King Ding Zhao Yun.
After Li Yangzhou left, Ning Qingyan quickly picked up the medicine for Ning Yan.
By the way, she picked up some medicine for herself, Ning Qinglin and Ning Qingyou.
She wanted to temper her body and break through the first transformation of "The Transformation of Immortals and Demons" as soon as possible.
The medicine given to the siblings was also intended to cleanse the marrow and refine the bones.
Let them find trouble for Xiao Ruyi, and she will naturally have to pay some reward.
Ning Qingyan felt that she had always been generous.
Before leaving, she looked at the medicinal materials in the room and thought about it. She walked to a medicine cabinet that was not commonly used, took several medicines from the drawer, put them close to her body, and then left the pharmacy.
…
"Is this the medicine given to us by the eldest lady?" Ning Qinglin looked at Bai Wei who was ordered to deliver the medicine in surprise.
Bai Wei nodded and relayed Ning Qingyan's words. "After you finish practicing every day, bathe and soak in the water boiled with these medicines. It can strengthen your body and strengthen your muscles and bones."
Ning Qinglin was still surprised by Ning Qingyan's move, and Ning Qing next to him took the medicinal materials in surprise.
"That's great! The eldest lady is so kind to us!"
"Sister, please thank the eldest lady for us." Ning Qinglin said hurriedly.
Bai Wei smiled and nodded.
After finishing her work, she turned around and left without staying any longer.
After watching Bai Wei leave, Ning Qinglin was not as surprised as Ning Qing, but instead walked to Ning Chenhua with some sadness.
"Second uncle, why did the eldest lady give me medicine?"
Ning Chenhua couldn't understand either, so he could only shake his head and said: "If these medicinal materials really have such effects, it doesn't matter if you use them."
Ning Qinglin nodded thoughtfully.
When she raised her eyes, looking at Ning Qingyou who was as happy as a fool, she shook her head helplessly.
…
Before sunset, Zhao Yun accompanied Ning Qingyan to have dinner at Ning Mansion, and then returned to Prince Ding's Mansion together.
As soon as she arrived at Prince Ding's Mansion, Ning Qingyan unexpectedly turned away from her 'enthusiasm' from the previous days and left in a hurry.
Zhao Yun watched her back disappear before his eyes, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
Ning Qingyan returned to the courtyard where she lived in Prince Ding's Mansion and asked Banxia to find her a medicine jar.
Then, he got into the small kitchen alone.
In the small kitchen, medicine jars were steaming on the charcoal stove.
Inside, there was the sound of "gurgling" water.
Ning Qingyan's delicate little face was covered with a white scarf, and she stared at the boiling liquid in the medicine jar with a serious expression. She held a stick in her hand and slowly stirred it in the medicine jar.
