”Un, not bad, not bad. It really is her.” If you can safely protect her and bring her back home, then I'll give you an extra reward when we get back. ”
Not long after, a pair of hands gently caressed her face, and a asexual voice came over, carrying a trace of praise and elation.
Lan Yi turned her face away in disgust, and while they were speaking, she untied her hands and feet.
With a ”peng” sound, she kicked the person caressing her face, and flew out of the carriage at lightning speed. Everything happened so fast that no one could react.
”You're courting death!”
However, just as she removed the black cloth covering her eyes, a white-haired, red-eyed man slapped his palm on her shoulder.
A sharp pain came from her shoulder, and a feeling of numbness came over her. As a doctor, she knew that she had been drugged.
Taking advantage of her last bit of sanity, she tore off her earrings and heavily fell to the ground, unconscious and unconscious.
”You dare to play tricks under my nose? You are simply courting death.” If it wasn't for the fact that it's still useful for you, I would have sucked you dry long ago. ”
Dressed all in black, with white hair like snow, he pointed at Lan Yi and kicked him as he scolded him.
”Yes, he's simply courting death.”
The man from the Pang clan respectfully greeted him, his eyes filled with the intent of fawning on Qin Wentian.
”Let's go!” Try to get to the next gate before it gets dark. ”
The white-haired man held the silk handkerchief in his hand and carefully wiped the place where Lan Yi had kicked.
With a turn of his body, he nimbly climbed onto the carriage. His voice was even louder than that of a eunuch.
Not long after, the grandiose carriage sped off, leaving behind only a lonely wisp of smoke isolated in the snow. A gust of cold wind blew past. Other than the earring on the ground, everything else seemed to have never happened.
In the Jade Cloud Temple, had broken his shoulder and ribs. In the small courtyard she lived in, she could see several imperial physicians walking in and out of the room. They were sweating profusely, showing just how urgent the situation was.
Her Majesty led a group of young mistresses to stand in the courtyard, an irrepressible anger on her aged face. A cold atmosphere spread out, pressuring everyone present to not dare to let out even the slightest amount of air.
”Imperial Physician Wang, how is Miss Shangguan?”
Seeing an imperial physician walk out, she quickly asked.
”To reply Esteemed Empress Dowager, Miss Shangguan's fracture is very serious. It's already been healed, but it's only temporary. The situation isn't optimistic.” As this place is rather remote and we don't have enough medicinal ingredients, I'm afraid that it will delay the best treatment time. ”
Imperial Physician Wang was a petite woman with a white beard and a pair of bright eyes that sent chills down one's spine.
When Her Majesty heard this, the tense atmosphere that hung over her face instantly relaxed. He turned around and slowly spoke to Dongfang Chen who was behind him.
”Chen'er, Grandma Huang knows that you have a bunch of good subordinates. Arrange for a few people to hurry back to the capital and retrieve all the medicinal ingredients that Imperial Physician Wang needs for Miss Shangguan to use. She's a talented girl, you can't waste your time on her. ”
”Yes sir!”
After Dongfang Chen heard this, he replied respectfully. After looking at the door that Shangguan Jingyan had tightly closed, he left with his people.
”Disperse!” Today, everyone was tired and had a good rest. From tomorrow onwards, we will follow the Reverend Fang into the presence of Buddha. ”
The empress dowager looked at the tired faces of the young mistresses before her and gave her orders in a cold voice.
”Yes, this little girl will take her leave now.”
Hearing this, everyone bowed to the empress dowager and left with their maidservant.
One day and one night without rest was a test for the young ladies of the pavilion who had yet to leave their rooms. To be able to hold on until now was already their limit.
”Amitabha, this old woman really shouldn't have listened to the emperor and brought her here. ”What a sin!”
After everyone had left, the empress dowager and Abbot Fang also left the small courtyard where Shangguan Jingyan was healing himself, walking towards the direction of Bai Zhixi's residence.
At this moment, the empress dowager had an expression of exhaustion on her face despite the fact that she had just taken a short rest. However, at an age when he was old, he could not afford to tire himself out.
”Amitabha, Esteemed Empress Dowager, there's no need to be so reluctant to forget. Everyone has their own destiny. Perhaps this is her fate, and it is impossible for her to avoid it. ”
When the ethereal square heard her words, he stopped in his tracks in an instant and softly spoke out his thoughts.
”I hope that's all there is to it!”
The empress dowager looked at the quiet temple and spoke in a light voice, her emotions mixed within.
The last trace of red light in the sky was obscured by dark clouds. At this moment, the temple was quiet and serene. Before the misses could eat, they hurriedly fell asleep.
The temple was brightly lit, swaying in the cold wind, exuding a desolation that seeped into the hearts of people.
When the empress dowager and the abbot stepped into Bai Zhixi's courtyard, they saw Jun Mohan standing upright in the courtyard like a pine tree.
”Mo'er, you … Are you really waiting for her to come out? Was it because I was afraid that I would grab hold of her and lock her up in the Heavenly Prison, so that the two of you are separated from each other, unable to see her again? ”
When the empress dowager walked in, she saw that Jun Mohan was still standing there, waiting. He could not help but be enraged as he strode towards him.
Pointing at the tightly closed door, he began to curse at Jun Mohan. There was a trace of anger in her voice, showing just how much she hated Bai Zhixi.
