"And then?"
Ji Yunshu continued, "Look at the people driving the carriages, they are all dressed in linen clothes, and they are all burly and muscular. It's obvious that they have been carrying things all year round, so their muscles are well-developed. Moreover, they must be working in a business that relies on physical strength to make a living. However, the boys and girls on the other side are all fair and clean. Although they aren't dressed in luxurious clothes, they are still very presentable. Their every movement has the temperament of a wealthy family, but they are also very respectful towards the old man. Look at the whip in the old man's hand, it's neither new nor old, but it's useless in his hand. It's more like a decoration, more like a prop. Look at the handle of the whip, it's stained with some colors – red and green. Not only on the whip, but also on the carriages and the boxes."
Jing Rong did as she said.
Indeed!
There were some colors on the carriages and boxes.
"And then?"
He was like a child eager to learn!
Ji Yunshu smiled and wrinkled her nose. "Could it be that Your Highness doesn't smell it?"
Hmm?
Taste?
He followed suit and sniffed as well. "There is a smell, but … I don't know what it is."
"It's oil paint!"
"Oil paint?"
He nodded, "Your Highness, you should know that oil paint is a thick mixture of oil and pigment, right? It's usually used for body painting or professional makeup, but very few people use it for painting. "
Jing Rong finally understood what Ji Yunshu meant.
Realization dawned upon him.
"They are actors!"
No wonder, no wonder!
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips into a smile. "That's right. They're a theatrical troupe. They're probably going to Anfu County to set up a stage and perform."
He was very sure!
At this time, two people in the group opened three of the boxes and took out the crowns used in the opera. They wiped the dust off them with a dry cloth.
If Jing Rong still had some doubts before, he was now completely convinced.
It really was an opera troupe!
He looked at Ji Yunshu in surprise, then furrowed his brows in confusion. "Woman, what's in your head?
"Brains are naturally filled with brain matter."
He blurted it out!
Puff –
Jing Rong almost burst out laughing.
"I have to say, you are much better than those who only know how to read books. This Prince's Princess Rong should be like this."
Tsundere!
Without a doubt, Ji Yunshu rolled her eyes at him.
Just then —
A voice could be heard.
It was the sound of someone retching.
She looked over and saw Aunty Xie pressing on her chest in discomfort. She retched a few times, and her face instantly turned pale.
Ji Yunshu got up and hurried over to check.
"Aunty Xie, how are you?" She gently stroked her back.
Madam Xie panted and shook her head. Then she waved her hand and said weakly, "I'm fine."
Mo Ruo had also noticed this. It was time for him to make a move.
Hence —
She lazily stood up from the lawn, not forgetting to tell Wei Yi, "Warm the wine well, I want to drink it later."
Then, he walked to the stream and washed his hands before walking towards Aunty Xie.
He checked her pulse.
"Her body is suffering from some old ailments. She will be fine after some rest. However, her chest is feverish and her Qi channels are swollen. Her arteries are blocked and need to be nourished. There are some medicinal herbs prepared in the carriage, but … we are missing a dose of Buddha ginseng. We can only find it when we reach Anfu County."
Ji Yunshu worriedly asked, "We are still a distance away from Anfu. Is there any other way?"
"No, we need to use Buddha ginseng as a guide to recover."
"We are in the middle of nowhere. If we return to Yuzhou City, it will take another half a day. Going back and forth …"
She finished speaking.
"I have Buddha ginseng here."
The one who spoke was the girl called Zhan Mo.
She spoke to the little maid beside her, and the latter ran to the carriage to retrieve some Buddha ginseng.
However, she was stopped by the old leader.
"Zhan Mo, this Buddha ginseng cost a few taels of silver. How can you just give it to someone else?"
"Then deduct it from my payment."
As she spoke, Zhan Mo took the Buddha ginseng from the little maid and walked over to Aunty Xie, carefully placing it down.
"I brew this often, so I always carry it with me. It's an emergency. Take it."
Her voice was pleasant to the ears.
But it was weak.
Ji Yunshu thanked her. "Thank you, Miss. Take it that I bought it."
Zhan Mo was about to give her some silver.
"No need. It's not worth much. Saving a life is more important."
As she spoke, she did not stay any longer and immediately turned back.
There was a faint fragrance lingering in the air. It was not like the pungent smell of prostitutes. Instead, it smelled very good.
It must be the fragrance from her incense burner.
Mo Ruo took the medicine and glanced at Zhan Mo. He then ordered someone to bring the medicine from the carriage and began to brew it.
In a short while, a bowl of medicine was brewed.
Aunty Xie felt much better after taking it. She regained her composure and thanked them one by one.
Seeing that it was getting late and Aunty Xie was not feeling well, Jing Rong ordered them to set off.
As they were leaving, Mo Ruo kept turning back to look at Zhan Mo without hiding it.
In the end, Jing Rong could only drag him into the carriage and ride with him.
The inside of the carriage reeked of alcohol, and there were many wine bottles lying on the ground.
"Did you drink an entire wine cellar?"
Mo Ruo did not answer. He lifted the curtain and stuck his head out to look.
Jing Rong pulled him back. "Have you seen enough? That's a girl's house. "
"Jing Rong." He suddenly called out to him in a serious tone.
"What is it?"
"Did you notice anything different about that girl?"
"Different?" Jing Rong sat upright and thought for a moment. "She has a nose and eyes. There's nothing different about her. Could it be that she's the one in your dreams?"
"Screw you." He said, "That girl's eyes are drooping, her pupils are slightly dilated, and the corners of her lips are pale. What's even stranger is that her neck is slightly dark. When she spoke just now, I purposely took a look at her tongue. The tip of her tongue is yellow, and the middle part is white. Her hands are slender and slender, but they're clearly soft and powerless. Look, she's always carrying Fu Ginseng. This kind of medicine is only used by people who have been sick for a long time."
F * ck, you're a pervert!
Jing Rong frowned. "You actually looked at that girl's tongue? Mo Ruo, this prince … can't understand your hobby. "
Jing Rong said seriously.
Mo Ruo was speechless. Brother, can you hear the main point?
"What are you thinking about? I think her illness is related to the heart meridian. As the saying goes, when a person's body is weak, they can use Fu Ginseng as a guide. However, the weakness lies in the heart meridian. Fu Ginseng is a cold herb. Taking too much of it will worsen the illness. She can't even touch it. "
Jing Rong's expression turned serious at this point.
