"Princess, what's wrong?"
There was a cry from inside the room. Two maids came in and asked with concern.
Shao Liuer suddenly sat up on the bed, panting. She was still in a state of shock, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
She had been taking care of Haozhen's sickbed for a few days. She only relaxed when the attendant mages confirmed that Haozhen was fine. She couldn't take it anymore, and finally lay down to rest.
However, the nightmare came again. The nightmare of being soaked in a pig's cage in the river appeared again. There was something new that woke her up. Even though she woke up, it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
That scholar asked her why she didn't wait for him when they agreed to meet in three years.
She tried her best to explain that she thought he was dead.
However, that scholar kept asking her why she didn't wait for him. In the end, he even took out a needle from his sleeve and stabbed it at Haozhen and her son.
She was able to have this kind of dream because she had sensed something.
Regardless of whether Wu Xin admitted it or not, two people who were once truly in love couldn't have too much contact. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to hide it from each other.
During her stay in the residence of the Ghost Doctor's disciple, she suddenly understood that it wasn't because they looked alike. It was because that scholar had come. Tan Yaoxian had come.
Combined with the time that the Ghost Doctor's disciple had appeared in Qi Capital, she clearly understood that Tan Yaoxian hadn't forgotten about her. He had come to find her. That was the time to fulfill the promise of three years.
There was no need to say anything more. She could confirm that Wu Xin was the person she had eloped with at all costs. The lover she had loved so much.
She didn't understand why Tan Yaoxian hadn't come to find her after being in Qi Capital for so long. Since he didn't come to find her, why did he stay in Qi Capital?
She didn't know what Tan Yaoxian had experienced in those three years. She didn't know why Tan Yaoxian had become the Ghost Doctor's disciple.
Didn't Shao Pingbo say that he had killed Tan Yaoxian? Was he lying to her? Actually, he hadn't. Was he just trying to trick her into marrying him to Qi?
Since he didn't die, he was still alive and well in those three years. Why didn't he contact her? Why wasn't there any news at all?
Back then, she had missed him day and night. Did he not miss her at all? Why didn't he want to contact her at all?
Since he didn't want to contact her, why did he wait until she got married? How could she endure this!
She wasn't blaming Tan Yaoxian. Based on her understanding of Tan Yaoxian, she felt that Tan Yaoxian must have some reason not to contact her.
She cried and sat quietly on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Back then, Shao Pingbo had said that within three years, no matter what line of work Tan Yaoxian was in, as long as he was successful, he would agree to marry her to him.
But even in his dreams, he would never have imagined that Tan Yaoxian would actually become the Ghost Doctor's disciple. That seemingly useless scholar who didn't even have the strength to truss a chicken had actually become the Ghost Doctor's disciple whose name shook the world. Even a group of imperial family members had to kneel at his feet and beg.
Back then, Shao Pingbo would never have dreamed of such an achievement. If Shao Pingbo had known that Tan Yaoxian would have such an achievement, he would not have dared to force her to marry to the Kingdom of Qi. Perhaps, he would have had to curry favor with Tan Yaoxian.
That useless scholar finally had a promising future. Moreover, he had a great future, one that no one could have dreamed of. He no longer had to worry about not having to worry about food and clothing … Shao Liuer smiled foolishly. Her tears flowed as she smiled. She didn't know if she should be happy for him or not.
Seeing that the Princess seemed to be possessed, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, sometimes laughing, and sometimes crying, there was no response no matter how they called out to her. The two maids were frightened.
One of them said to the other, "Quick, go and ask the Venerable One to come and take a look."
Just as the other maid turned around, Shao Liuer suddenly spoke, "No need, I'm fine."
She raised her sleeve to wipe her tears and asked, "How long have I slept?"
The maid replied, "You slept for a whole day and night. You are really tired."
Shao Liuer asked again, "How is the Prince?"
The maid replied, "The Prince has already woken up. Not long after you fell asleep, the Prince woke up."
"Get changed!" Shao Liuer immediately stood up.
After washing up and changing, she first went to check on her son. Seeing that her son was sleeping soundly, she then hurried to Haozhen's sickbed.
Haozhen was indeed awake and was recovering well. His cheeks were rosy.
It was said that the corpse of the Jade Corpse Poison would become transparent after a sudden death, like a dried corpse made of jade. That was why this poison was named the Jade Corpse Poison.
Seeing Shao Liuer sitting beside the bed and gently greeting him, Haozhen smiled knowingly, "I heard that you were exhausted and slept for a long time."
Shao Liuer said, "You are the one who scared me."
"Come!" Haozhen reached out his hand and gestured for her to bend over.
Shao Liuer was confused, but she still did as she was told.
Haozhen reached out his hand and hooked her collar with his fingers. He saw the wound on her fair neck and asked, "You hurt yourself? Does it hurt? "
Shao Liuer knew that he wanted to see this. She pressed his hand down and covered it with the blanket, "It's just a small wound. It doesn't hurt. It's okay."
Haozhen said, "Don't be so silly in the future. If you were too impulsive, how would I find my princess?"
Shao Liuer smiled bitterly, "I really had no other choice at that time. I could only throw caution to the wind."
Haozhen revealed a gentle smile and reached out from under the blanket to hold her hand lightly, "Mister Che told me everything after I woke up. Even Bu Xun couldn't beg for help, but you did it. In order to save me, you threatened to commit suicide. You knelt in front of Mister Wuxin's door and kowtowed countless times. You begged so many times that you couldn't even stand up in the end. In exchange, Mister Wuxin showed mercy. You have really suffered. "
Shao Liuer stuffed his hand back under the blanket, "Prince, this is what I should do."
Haozhen said, "With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for? Liuer, you saved this prince's life. "
"Prince, you're exaggerating …" Shao Liuer didn't want to take credit. When talking about Wuxin's matter, she became a little distracted and absent-minded.
It wasn't until Haozhen squeezed her hand that she woke up. "I heard that you haven't slept for a few days. Are you too tired and haven't recovered? If you're tired, go back and rest. There's no need to watch over me. I'm fine. Someone, send the princess back to rest! "
…
Wuxin also woke up. He didn't want to be disturbed, so he lay alone on the recliner in the courtyard. He looked at the bright moon in the night sky, lost in thought.
After staying in Qi Capital for so long, he finally saw the person he wanted to see but didn't dare to see. He wanted to ask her why she didn't keep her promise and why she married someone else.
He wanted to take revenge on everyone who broke them up. He wanted to take revenge on Shao Pingbo, he wanted to take revenge on Niu Youdao, and he even wanted to kill the person who took her.
But in the end, he wanted to save her man. After saving that man, he wanted to let that man stay with her day and night, while he could only watch over the bright moon. He didn't know what he was doing.
He remembered the situation when he first woke up. He was in a space filled with bottles and jars filled with the smell of medicine.
When he found out that the old man who saved him was the famous Ghost Doctor, he remembered Shao Pingbo's promise of three years. He would only marry Shao Liuer if he became successful. So, he begged the Ghost Doctor to take him as his disciple. He wanted to seize this opportunity at all costs.
The old man was annoyed by him. He threw a medical book at him and said that if he could memorize it in three days, he would agree to take him as his disciple.
In the end, he did it. This was the only thing he was good at as a scholar. The old man was speechless and didn't go back on his word.
What surprised the old man even more was that his stupid disciple, a useless and pedantic scholar, actually had a talent in this area. He learned medical things very quickly. He was born to learn medicine. It felt like they had bumped into each other.
However, the old man knew why he wanted to learn medicine. It was for women. The old man didn't want him to leave the mountain and forget about those things.
He refused, so the old man made things difficult for him again. He said that if he wanted to be successful, he had to be able to marry. Otherwise, not only would he become a laughing stock, he would also ruin his reputation. Then, he wouldn't be considered successful. What right did he have to marry someone else? The old man gave him one hundred and eight diseases. He said that if he could cure these diseases, he would be considered to have finished his apprenticeship.
In order to finish his apprenticeship, for the promise of three years, he dragged his sick body and studied crazily. The Medicine Valley had all the learning conditions he wanted. He thirsted for knowledge.
In the end, before the master and disciple parted, the old man looked at him speechlessly. He would always remember it.
He fulfilled the requirements of his apprenticeship. Not only did he complete it, but he also completed it before the promise of three years.
The old man said that he was very talented. He really didn't want him to fall in love with a woman. He also gave him a lot of advice.
After leaving the Medicine Valley, he finally understood what his master meant. Shao Liu-Er was already married. His master should have known about it before, but he couldn't bear to tell him the truth. His body wasn't in the best condition to be agitated.
The first thing he did after leaving the mountain was to complete the task the old man gave him. His junior brother's family was in trouble, and he was asked to cure them …
The Qi Capital seemed calm on the surface. However, outside the Qi Capital, a storm was brewing. It was destined to stir up the entire Qi Country.
After a long period of meticulous planning, Shao Pingbo had mobilized the formidable espionage force of the Jin State and destroyed the communication hub of Huyan Wuhen's army at all costs. However, Shao Pingbo knew that this wouldn't have much of an impact on the Qi State's reinforcements. At most, it would only delay the Qi State's army for a few days.
There were too many communication channels in the entire Qi Country. It was too easy to see through the conspiracy. It was impossible to truly control the communication capabilities of the Qi Country's army.
However, this was the effect he wanted to create. Although it was a small matter, from the perspective of the Qi Country, how could they fight the war if their own military's communication channel was controlled by the enemy? It was possible to destroy the country. This action would definitely cause the Qi Country's Military Affairs Station to go all out to eliminate the hidden dangers.
First, a large number of the imperial family members were poisoned, which drew out the power of the Military Affairs Station.
Next, the military troops lost control, which caused the Military Affairs Station to launch an all-out counterattack.
The consecutive incidents had mobilized almost all of the Military Affairs Station's power.
Shao Pingbo had already prepared a target for the Military Affairs Station to compete with after their counterattack.
Breaking the communication hub of the Qi Country's army was the bait. This was the start of a series of traps.
In order to break the communication hub of the Qi Country's army, they took action at all costs. This caused the Black Water Station's hidden network to be inevitably exposed.
