Chapter 24: The First Medicine of the Four Seasons
It was Xia Jingyan who made too much noise, so Zhou Ranzhuo had no choice but to knock her out. Now she was lying on the couch in the inn, quietly and without making any noise.
Zhou Ranzhuo sighed, entrusted Xia Jingyan to Gu Yun, and went out to investigate the situation. Lu Chaoya also went to the street to buy food.
Zhou Ranzhuo really shouldn't have left Xia Jingyan alone with Gu Yun, Qin would probably come.
"Take away!" Qin Shuan said with a dark face and asked someone to drag Gu Yun away. Gu Yun had already fainted and was unable to resist.
Qin Suan looked at the teapot on the table and smiled. He ordered someone to add water to it, took out a small bag from his waist, opened it, poured a little of the white powder inside, and took the person away.
Poisoning to kill people is a very boring method. It is not poison, but an interesting thing. Qin Shuan loves to play this kind of trick.
When Zhou Ranzhuo came back, he saw that Xia Jingyan had woken up and was sitting at the table holding his forehead, panting uncontrollably. He didn't pay attention at first, so he just stepped forward, looked around and asked.
: "Where's Gu Yun?"
Xia Jingyan didn't answer. How did she know that there was medicine in the tea? She only knew that she was the only one in the room when she woke up. She felt her throat was dry, so she took a sip of water from the teapot. Unexpectedly,
So we hit a key point in the playbook.
"Yan'er?" Zhou Ranzhuo felt a little strange and wondered if Xia Jingyan was sick or uncomfortable? So he stepped forward and touched her forehead.
"Don't touch me!" Xia Jingyan opened his hand in a panic.
But the small touch of Xia Jingyan made Zhou Ranzhuo sweat a lot, and she also felt that her body was frighteningly hot.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Ranzhuo was a little worried and bent down to Xia Jingyan's side, "Stop messing around, let me take a look!" Zhou Ranzhuo forcefully pulled away the hand that was covering Xia Jingyan's face.
Xia Jingyan's face felt hot and he closed his eyes tightly, not looking at Zhou Ranzhuo.
"Zhou Ranzhuo! Are you stupid?! Do you look like you are sick!!!"
Xia Jingyan screamed in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it directly, how could she say such a thing!
What if Zhou Ran has evil intentions? Although it seems that he is the one who has evil intentions.
No way! I can’t bear it anymore!
Xia Jingyan opened her eyes, and Zhou Ranzhuo was looking at her. Xia Jingyan kissed Zhou Ranzhuo's lips, wanting to taste it carefully.
Zhou Ranzhuo was completely stunned, his brain was spinning rapidly. He pushed Xia Jingyan away, gasping and asked: "What are you doing!"
This kiss made him blush.
The third time! They had only known each other for a few days, and Xia Jingyan kissed him for the third time!
"There's... there's medicine, it's in the tea..." Xia Jingyan looked at him with tears in her eyes.
This was the last sensible thing Xia Jingyan said before regaining consciousness.
"Is there any medicine?" Zhou Ran was confused.
What kind of medicine? Didn't he give it to himself? Could it be that it was Gu Yun? Was Gu Yun already so open to helping him? No, Gu Yun wasn't so... It was definitely Qin Suan!
Zhou Ranzhuo picked up the tea and smelled it. He was not very proficient in pharmacology, and he didn't know why he smelled it, but it was not obvious that a medicine that could produce such an effect was...
At this moment when Zhou Ranzhuo was thinking, the medicine had completely controlled Xia Jingyan, and she rushed forward, half asleep and half awake, hugging Zhou Ranzhuo and refusing to let go.
"Yan'er...you, you...don't be like this..." Zhou Ranzhuo almost stuttered, pushed Xia Jingyan away and ran away.
He couldn't leave the room, otherwise Xia Jingyan would definitely follow him out, so he could only run around the table in the guest room, warning himself in his mind as he ran:
"Zhou Ranzhuo, you can't be a bad person! You can't take advantage of others' danger!"
Xia Jingyan chased Zhou Ranzhuo around the table and began to undress.
Zhou Ranzhuo went crazy when he saw this, and hurriedly pulled up the quilt and went forward, wrapping Xia Jingyan tightly, "Little ancestor, please stop making trouble! If you keep doing this, Xia Jingsheng will definitely let me join the palace as a eunuch!"
This is not unfounded. I still remember that not long ago, the second son of the Minister of Rites, a low-ranking official of the sixth rank, became jealous and touched Xia Jingyan's hand, and was caught on the spot by Xia Jingsheng, and then...
He was promoted and became the fifth-grade eunuch in charge of the House of Internal Affairs.
But Xia Jingyan was unconscious, so she tried her best to break free.
If that's really it, forget it, the key is that there is another thing.
Zhou Ranzhuo suddenly heard the sound of urgent footsteps at the door and on the roof, and there were more than one person. It was credible to say that the people at the door were businessmen coming and going, but the people on the roof couldn't be staying overnight!
The enemy is chasing me again.
There were so many people who wanted to kill Zhou Ranzhuo that even Zhou Ranzhuo couldn't tell which group they belonged to and there was no time to tell them apart.
It was inconvenient for Xia Jingyan to escape in a daze, so it was better to hide. Zhou Ranzhuo had no choice but to stuff Xia Jingyan into the large cabinet that came with the inn, and hid in it himself.
At the same time as the cabinet door was closed, a large hole was opened in the tiled roof, and five people jumped from the roof. The door of the room was also split open, and the three people rushed in, but what they saw was an empty room.
Several people looked at the small room with doubts in their eyes, as if they didn't believe in evil.
Xia Jingyan was not honest at all and just rubbed herself against Zhou Ranzhuo. That was all. The important thing was that she kept mumbling and Zhou Ranzhuo couldn't stop her.
"Shh!" Zhou Ranzhuo grabbed Xia Jingyan's wrist, but no matter how he reacted, he could not wake up Xia Jingyan's consciousness, and Qin Suan's medicine became stronger.
There is really no other way. There is only one way to make people who drink this "First of Four Seasons" medicine calm down.
Zhou Ranzhuo gritted his teeth, "There is really nothing I can do, don't blame me!" Zhou Ranzhuo thought, his heart was beating loudly, and he kissed her anyway.
This trick worked as expected. Xia Jingyan really fell silent. She bit Zhou Ranzhuo's lips and put her hands on his shoulders. She enjoyed this "beautiful thing" in her arms for a long time, savoring it and touching Zhou Ranzhuo's heart.
.
"The Xia Family Army is here! Get out, get out!" Several people ran away in panic before they could find the wardrobe.
Although he is a dead soldier, who really wants to die?
Zhou Ranzhuo originally thought that Xia Jingyan's arrival was just in time and he would take Xia Jingyan back to the camp as soon as possible so that he could save some worries. But when he looked at Xia Jingyan in his arms, he only had one thought in his mind:
"I don't want to be a eunuch!!!"
How can you explain Xia Jingyan's current behavior? Could it be that Qin Suan finally got married because of his lover?! It's better to run away before Xia Jiajun catches up!
Zhou Ranzhuo pulled a thin blanket from the side of the couch and put it on Xia Jingyan. He hugged the sleepy Xia Jingyan and escaped through the gap in the roof, avoiding Xia Jiajun along the way.
As for Lu Chaoya, it will definitely be no problem if Xia Jiajun is here!
Lu Chaoya also happened to come back from the street. Her eyes were red from crying because she was worried about Yan Yu. When she came back, she happened to meet Xia Jingxuan who was leading a patrol.
Xia Jingxuan turned around and met Lu Chaoya's eyes. Although they had been apart for less than two days, it felt like they were reunited after a long separation. Who would care about status at this time?
"Ya'er!" Xia Jingxuan rushed forward and hugged Lu Chaoya into his arms, which really surprised Lu Chaoya and the entire Xia family army.
Xia Jingxuan is the most polite person in Prince Xia's palace. He always accuses Lu Chaoya of not paying attention to etiquette. Today's move is to hold a girl in his arms in full view of everyone. She is also his own maid, which is enough to make the capital lively for several days.
"Hou...Hou..." Lu Chaoya called inarticulately.
"Are you okay? You scared me to death! It doesn't make people worry! I shouldn't let you out!" Xia Jingxuan hugged Lu Chaoya tightly, half of his mental arithmetic dropped.
Xia Jingxuan hugged Lu Chaoya as if he were holding a rare treasure, and he couldn't put it down.
"Master Hou, Chao Ya is okay..." Lu Chao Ya's hands were trembling. After thinking about it again and again, she still hugged Xia Jingxuan tremblingly.
Such an embrace was something Lu Chaoya never dared to imagine in the past. In the past, she treated Xia Jingxuan with full respect.
Xia Jingxuan is like a god who can only be desired but not desired. Even though she is the woman closest to Xia Jingxuan besides Xia Jingyan, his biological sister, she still feels that Xia Jingxuan is so far away from her, far away in the horizon.
But now, Lu Chaoya's respect for Xia Jingxuan has completely turned into love. She has a feeling that her god has fallen into the mortal world to accompany her.
"Okay, come home with me. Where is Yan'er? Is she okay?" Xia Jingxuan reluctantly let go of Lu Chaoya, her eyes a little red.
"The master is at the inn, accompanied by Mr. Gu. Chao Ya will take Mr. Hou to look for him."
Lu Chaoya wiped away her tears and smiled, holding Xia Jingxuan's hand and leading him to run into the inn. However, she was dumbfounded by the smashed door and the empty room.
"Master... Master is gone... He was obviously here, but he was still there when I left!" Lu Chaoya tried his best to explain to Xia Jingxuan.
She knew how important Xia Jingyan was to Xia Jingxuan's heart and how the sudden disappointment would hurt Xia Jingxuan. She was also afraid that Xia Jingxuan would be angry with her.
"First...don't be anxious..." Xia Jingxuan squeezed Lu Chaoya's hand and looked around the room, "These are obviously the remains of a broken door. There are no signs of a fight. Yan'er must have escaped."
That's what he said, but this matter was like a needle, pricking Xia Jingxuan's heart all the time.
That was Xia Jingyan! His Yan'er, the sister he had doted on since childhood, was never willing to make her suffer. If something happened, how could Xia Jingxuan survive?
"Master Hou." Xia Jiajun sent someone up to ask for instructions.
"Look for it! Look for it quickly! We have to turn Dongjiang upside down to find Yan'er!" Xia Jingxuan shouted at the man.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, Xia's army spread out and searched house to house.
"You go back to the camp first." Xia Jingxuan entrusted Lu Chaoya to Yu Yue who had just entered the house. He also followed Xia Jiajun. He couldn't waste a moment to save Xia Jingyan.
"Miss Lu, please." Yu Yue said to Lu Chaoya.
Lu Chaoya looked at Xia Jingxuan's leaving figure, feeling helpless and helpless. She knew that she could not do much to help, and even if she followed him, it would only be a drag on Xia Jingxuan, so it was better to return to the camp.
"Is Sister Yanyu okay?" Lu Chaoya asked Yu Yue as he walked. After all, Yanyu was injured while trying to save himself.
"Miss Yan, nothing serious happened, she was just slightly injured." Yu Yue responded.
"That's good." Lu Chaoya breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now only Xia Jingyan is left.
Lu Chaoya was still worried about Xia Jingyan and only hoped that Xia Jingyan would be safe.
They were her best sisters. They were masters and servants, but they were just like sisters. Xia Jingyan was her lifelong support. She only wanted Xia Jingyan to be healthy.
