Xia Mingzhong took the medicinal materials and kept looking at Jin Chan with his eyes. Jin Chan frowned slightly and tried to hold back the tears that were about to fall out. But the more he tried to stop them, the more disobedient his tears became, as if they were broken.
The thread rolled down like beads.
"Sorry." Xia Mingzhong saw that she was really sad, so he looked away. "My condolences, Miss Jin Chan."
Jin Chan took out a piece of handkerchief, wiped away his tears, and felt even more aggrieved. After a long time, he said: "It makes Mr. Xia laugh, but when I mention those family affairs, I can't help but feel sad. There are no miserable people in this world."
There are only a few, but I have just lost my father, and I also encountered the loss of my husband. Although I have reconciled with him, but when this kind of thing spreads and gossips are attacked, it is still me, a woman, who is attacked."
Xia Mingzhong did not respond, but said softly: "You said you wouldn't mention family matters, why do you still mention it?"
Jin Chan nodded and said: "Forget it, let's not mention it, let's not mention it."
As he said this, he was about to send Xia Mingzhong out. Xia Mingzhong had something hidden in his mind and couldn't walk very fast. Just as he was hesitating to ask again about the missing pages of "The Wind-Destroying Jue", there was already a burst of yelling and cursing outside the house.
.
People outside were shouting and cursing and crying loudly.
Xia Mingzhong and Jin Chan walked out of the door together, only to find that the crying and scolding man was sitting outside Jin Chan's house.
This person is Liu Jian's mother.
As soon as Liu's mother saw Jin Chan coming out, she rushed over like crazy. Fortunately, Xia Mingzhong's quick eyesight and quick hands stopped Liu's mother and saved Jin Chan from being beaten.
Mother Liu burst into tears. First she cried and complained about how difficult it was to raise a son, and then repeated several times, "Jian'er is my only son. I am the only son, but God will not let him live out his life in peace."
"
Then Mother Liu wiped her nose and tears, pointed at Jin Chan and said: "You are the woman, you are born with the appearance of a father-in-law and a husband! What is wrong with your father? Why did you choose such a thing?
Dad left not long ago, and you made me, Jian'er, go with him..."
Jin Chan's face turned red for a while, and her eyes were also red. She couldn't help but retort: "My father has always been in poor health. It was a disease he got from being in the medicine business and being busy in the medicine field for so many years. Why?
Am I the one who can overcome him? And Liu Jian, although he has no serious illness, he has been taking medicine at every turn these years. How can I be blamed for his poor health?
Liu's mother was so grief-stricken that she couldn't stand still and was about to faint just by looking at her. Xia Mingzhong quickly helped her sit on the steps at the door and said, "Don't be too sad."
Mother Liu's lips were chapped and her hair was almost white. She no longer had the same aura as when she slapped Jin Chan in the old house. Her hands were still holding Xia Mingzhong's sleeves and she said desperately: "My son, why are you just doing this?"
I only took my son’s life…”
Jin Chan was quite calm at first, but now that she heard these words, she could no longer calm down and cried: "Mom! Although Liu Jian is your biological son, I was also a member of the family and my daughter-in-law."
You are also a human being, even if you only think about a little bit of past feelings, you will definitely not say such unpleasant words!"
Mother Liu closed her eyes and shed tears silently.
Jin Chan wiped away her tears, took two steps closer, and continued: "Liu Jian lost her life, which is something no one wants to see. But think about it, why did this happen? I would have
He just said that Liu Jian and I couldn't get along. Did you listen to this? As a mother, you don't want to persuade your son in a loud voice, but you insist on instigating him behind his back to come to me over and over again."
Liu's mother opened her eyes, but her eyes were empty. She murmured: "Who am I doing for? I am not doing it for you and your young couple to be happy. Who would be a mother who would want to see her child divorce just after we say goodbye..."
…”
Jin Chan took a deep breath and said slowly: "But you are hurting him. If he hadn't been running around all day for this, he wouldn't have suddenly suffered an emergency and wouldn't have lost his life." She
Looking at Liu's mother, she said sadly: "Mom, please let me go. If you need me for anything in the future, I will help you, but please don't trap me in Liu's house anymore. My
The road is still long, you can’t be so selfish!”
After hearing these words, Mother Liu stopped talking for a long time. She held her back and slowly stood up from the stone steps, stumbling step by step.
Staggering away.
Seeing this situation, Xia Mingzhong had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to his lips.
"Miss Jin Chan, I'll leave first." Xia Mingzhong looked at Jin Chan whose face was already stained with tears. He knew that it was not convenient to stay any longer, so he had to leave first.
King Ying and Master Zeng Qi were both at Guan Jiyu's door. When they saw Xia Mingzhong coming back, they both looked expectantly. King Ying asked eagerly: "Is there any news?"
Xia Mingzhong shook his head and said, "No."
Prince Ying took a deep look at Zeng Qi and said, "What should we do if we really can't find him?"
Zeng Qi knew Guan Jiyu's situation best. Seeing Guan Jiyu's body decline like this day by day, and he really couldn't cure the irreversible damage caused by the "Wind Cutting Art", Zeng Qi could only sigh.
He said in a tone: "I can only try my best to save her life."
King Ying said: "What does that mean?"
Zeng Qi said the truth: "The foundation of martial arts practitioners is good health. Minor illnesses and injuries can be ignored, but you know well, my lord, that the reason why Hechiliu regards "Wind-Destroying Art" as a masterpiece is
It is precisely because its content has high requirements on practitioners and can cause serious damage. A slight mistake can kill the practitioner!" Zeng Qi looked at Guan Jiyu's room and said, "Ayu has a good physical foundation and a solid foundation.
Her kung fu foundation is a blessing among misfortunes. I will prepare a recipe as soon as possible and try my best to save her life, but her superb kung fu..."
Xia Mingzhong asked: "How is her kung fu? Will it become useless?"
Zeng Qi nodded and said, "Even if I spend all my life learning to save it, I'm afraid it won't be satisfactory."
King Ying and Xia Mingzhong were both speechless after hearing this. After a long time, King Ying said: "I'll think of a way again, I'll think of a way again, don't tell Ayu yet."
"No need." The door of the room creaked, and Guan Jiyu looked haggard. He held the door and walked out slowly, saying: "I know everything, Your Majesty, you don't have to waste any more energy."
King Ying's eyes were deep, and there was no emotion on his face. He just said firmly: "Ayu, I said, you are like this because of me. The responsibility for this matter is all mine, and I will never give up on you."
.”
Guan Jiyu held on to the huge pain in his body and said tiredly: "Your Majesty, I know my own body well. I knew it in my mind the past two days. Look, I am now a person who has trouble even walking. I know.
I have nothing left, even whether I can save my life is a question. If you are still willing to help me, please let me leave."
Prince Ying thought for a while and said: "I know you have wanted to leave here for a long time. You can leave if you want. Master Zeng Qi has prepared the prescription. You can take it before leaving. Ayu, you still have a long way to go in life. Don't
Broken jar, broken jar."
Guan Jiyu turned his eyes to Master Zeng Qi, moved his pale lips and said, "Master Zeng Qi, please write down the prescription as soon as possible. I will take the medicine and leave."
Zeng Qi nodded silently, turned around and walked towards the secret room.
"Ming Zhong..." King Ying raised his hand and hesitated to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his hand and said feebly: "Forget it, you go and follow Master Zeng Qi. If you need anything, please help me."
.”
Guan Jiyu's legs were trembling uncontrollably, and just standing took too much effort. She straightened her hair, which had long since lost its luster and looked like dead grass, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She struggled to hold the door and walked into the room little by little. Prince Ying stood outside the door, looking at the back that was stooped due to illness. He lowered his eyes and hid the emotions in his eyes.
Zeng Qi stayed up all night and wrote out a secret recipe and gave it to King Ying.
Prince Ying looked at the prescription in his hand, frowned and said, "Master Zeng Qi, although I don't know much about pharmacology, I have been taking medicine every day for so many years. Is the dosage of the medicinal materials in your prescription too much?
"
King Ying worriedly said: "No matter how much Ayu is a woman, no matter how strong her physique is, she can't compare to a man. How can she take such a large amount of medicine?"
Zeng Qi stroked his beard and sighed: "This is not a solution. You may not be very clear, Your Majesty. Ayu's body is now like a piece of wood with holes all over it, the kind of wood that has been bitten by ants."
By chewing on the loose wood, my medicines can only do their best to fill the holes. After all...
Her body has been completely damaged from the inside out."
Prince Ying closed his eyes, exhaled helplessly, and said, "In that case, go and prepare the medicine. Bring her more to save her life."
The next day, the carriage was already waiting at the gate of the palace, and Xia Mingzhong had already arranged for people to place large and small bags of prepared medicine in the carriage compartment.
Guan Jiyu sat in front of the mirror, combing her hair over and over again. She carefully combed her hair in a different style, took out the red beaded flower she bought before, and carefully tied it into her hair.
Red is the most attractive color, and she cheered up because of this touch of red.
"Girl, please be careful along the way..." Yue Xin's eyes flashed with tears, but she still forced out a smile and said goodbye to Guan Jiyu.
Guan Jiyu nodded. She would not say any parting words, but lightly patted Yue Xin on the shoulder and said, "You should also take care of yourself."
After leaving the room, King Ying stood in the courtyard.
Guan Jiyu suddenly remembered how the prince looked when he first met him. At that time, he was not in good spirits, and his whole body looked sleepy while sitting in a wheelchair.
Now he is standing in the yard with falling autumn leaves, his graceful demeanor, his appearance and his stature are unmistakable.
"Ayu." King Ying saw her coming out, so he walked over and said, "Do you want to go back to the border? Or go somewhere else?"
Guan Jiyu forced a smile and said: "I probably can't go back to the military camp. Even if I go back, it will just add a burden to them. I want to go back to Nanqin, I want to go home."
King Ying nodded. At this time, a fallen leaf fell on Guan Jiyu's hair, falling right on her beaded flower. King Ying reached out and gently took off the fallen leaf and threw it on the ground.
Guan Jiyu, however, kept staring at the discarded fallen leaf, fascinated, and after a long time he said: "Useless leaves will only make people want to throw them away, and the same is true for people. Useless and useless people will be a burden wherever they go.
"
Prince Ying just stared at her and said, "Ayu, you still have a long way to go. Of course, it's because of me that you became like this. I don't deny this."
He whispered: "You used to be a heroic female general. When your dazzling star fell, you will never lose your pride. But your life is precious. No matter what, don't underestimate your life. Ayu, I wish you the best."
