Chapter 186 Hou Yue discovers Jiang Yunzheng is ill; Xie Xuan plans to escape

The yard next door.

That day Jiang Wen came to see Xie Xuan again.

Xie Xuan is Miss Jiang's friend, and Xie Xuan has been interacting with Jiang Wen frequently these days. Even if Butler Luo dislikes Jiang Wen, he has to be polite to him.

Wu Yu looked at Xie Xuan's back, narrowed his eyes and followed him.

Xie Xuan and Jiang Wen first met when she sneaked out of the Qi Mansion for the first time. She bumped into the lame Jiang Wen at the gate of the private school. After Jiang Yunzheng left, Xie Xuan had no one to talk to in the Qi Mansion. Jiang Wen was knowledgeable and Xie Xuan quickly became familiar with him.

That day, Jiang Yunzheng returned to Xiazhou, and Xie Xuan was late because he went to visit Xiazhou City with Jiang Wen.

"Where are you going to play today?"

Jiang Wen: "Go to a private school."

Xie Xuan frowned. "What's so fun about private school? I don't want to listen to your flowery lectures."

Jiang Wen: "Today a student came. His mother has Hu ancestry. Don't you want to listen to what the Hu people say?"

Xie Xuan's brows relaxed and he immediately became interested.

The two of them entered the private school together, with Wuyou following behind.

The Hu child talked in a nonsensical manner, and Xie Xuan found it boring after listening for a while. She looked at the storybooks on the bookshelf and prepared to pick two to read at home.

Jiang Wen glanced at Wuyue in the yard and asked Xie Xuan casually, "I heard that Doctor Jiang came back a few days ago."

Xie Xuan nodded. This was the first time Jiang Wen asked about Jiang Yunzheng.

Xie Xuan glanced at him suspiciously: "Why are you asking about her all of a sudden?"

Xie Xuan is carefree in front of Jiang Yunzheng, but when facing outsiders, she is as vigilant and cautious as the Xie family members. Only in front of Jiang Yunzheng will Xie Xuan call her second sister.

The servants in the Qi Mansion were very tight-lipped, and Jiang Wen only heard that Xie Xuan was a friend of Jiang Yunzheng.

Jiang Wen looked at his leg helplessly and said, "I've heard that Doctor Jiang's medical skills are amazing. I'd like to ask Doctor Jiang to take a look someday."

Xie Xuan said, "She's been quite busy lately. You can go see Doctor Luo."

Jiang Wen smiled but said nothing.

Suddenly, Jiang Wen said, "I heard from the students in the private school that there will be a lantern festival at the Erlang Temple outside the city in three days. Many believers will go there to burn incense. If you have time, we can go together."

Xie Xuan: "Lantern Festival?"

Jiang Wen: "Drawing lots and making wishes are very effective."

She smiled at Jiang Wen and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask Doctor Jiang when the time comes."

Xie Xuan came to see Jiang Yunzheng that afternoon.

"Second sister, I haven't been to the Lantern Festival yet. Let's go."

Hou Yue glanced at Xie Xuan.

There was a faint smile in Jiang Yunzheng's eyes: "You want to go?"

Xie Xuan nodded vigorously.

Jiang Yunzheng: "Okay."

Xie Xuan didn't expect Jiang Yunzheng to agree so quickly.

Her eyes flashed slightly: "Okay, then I'll go back first!"

Wu Yu followed Xie Xuan. Before leaving, she glanced at Jiang Yunzheng and threw the note in her sleeve into a corner on the ground.

Hou Yue went to pick up the note. She stroked her chin and said, "There's something wrong with Jiang Wen. Xie Xuan wants to escape."

Hou Yue didn't understand. Xie Xuan was a rich lady. The war was about to start and nowhere was safe. No one with a normal brain would run away.

Hou Yue asked Jiang Yunzheng: "Did you know this a long time ago?"

Jiang Yunzheng: "What Xie Xuan showed when he came to Xiazhou was just a temporary measure."

Hou Yue suddenly chuckled twice: "Why on earth does Xie Xuan call you Second Sister? Is she really your sister?"

At this moment, Jiang Yunzheng's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Hou Yue and said, "I'm a little sleepy. You go out first."

Hou Yue: "I'll go guard outside."

As soon as Hou Yue left, Jiang Yunzheng covered her heart and bit her lips until they bled. Her upper body was almost curled up on the couch.

As he moved, the teacup beside him accidentally fell to the ground.

When Hou Yue heard the noise, he subconsciously opened the door and came in.

Seeing this scene, Hou Yue stood still as if struck by lightning. She took two or three steps over and hugged Jiang Yunzheng to the bed: "What's wrong with you?! I'm going to find Old Man Luo!"

Jiang Yunzheng gritted her teeth and grabbed Hou Yue's clothes, "Don't tell anyone."

Hou Yue nodded blankly, "Oh no, you are the doctor, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yunzheng didn't have the strength to reply to her. She was half lying on the bed, her face pale with pain.

Hou Yue realized it later and became frightened.

After waiting for nearly half a minute, Jiang Yunzheng vomited blood and the pain in her heart gradually subsided.

Hou Yue nudged her, a worried look on his face. "What happened to you? Did the Xixia people poison you?"

Jiang Yunzheng shook her head. Her health started to become abnormal from the first day she left the capital. After arriving in Xiazhou, she had two or three more attacks, the most recent one being in Zhuluo Snow Mountain.

Jiang Yunzheng thought that she might have been poisoned. There are always people better than you, and it is normal for there to be poisons in the world that she has never seen before.

The heart is where all the blood in the body must flow through. If she has heart problems, there shouldn't be any change in her pulse.

Hou Yue couldn't help but say, "Do you know how many diseases are caused by holding it in? As the saying goes, too much wisdom can lead to harm. Doctor Jiang, you are just too smart—"

Jiang Yunzheng: "Just be quiet for a while."

Hou Yue kept silent for a moment, then heard Jiang Yunzheng say, "I don't know either."

Hou Yue opened her lips, realizing that the situation was getting serious, and went to pour Jiang Yunzheng a glass of water.

"Well...well, when we get back to the capital, let's see Divine Doctor Gu. Maybe it can be cured."

Jiang Yunzheng didn't say anything, the words in the cave appeared in her mind.

Perhaps finding the Xie family can solve the mystery.

Jiang Yunzheng sat on the bed, and after she regained her strength, she packed her clothes and stuffed them into the corner of the pharmacy.

Jiang Yunzheng bit her tongue to regain her composure. She looked at Hou Yue and said again, "Don't tell anyone."

Hou Yue: "Qi Yunshen is also not okay?"

Jiang Yunzheng lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "No."

Xie Xuan returned to her room and took out the small package that was stuffed under the bed. Inside was some pearl hairpins.

Xie Xuan's heart was beating a little fast.

Jiang Yunzheng is a smiling fox. When Xie Xuan first came to Xiazhou, he didn't have any doubts in his heart. Jiang Yunzheng behaved too normally, and there was nothing wrong with the letters Xie Xuan received from his brother.

Everything seems to be going smoothly, but the more normal it is, the more problems there are.

Her father taught her since she was young to trust her first feeling.

So, Xie Xuan wanted to escape.

It was not easy for her to escape from Qi Mansion, and the Lantern Festival three days later was her only chance.

Qi Yunshen was in City of Dreams for the past two days. On the night before the Lantern Festival, Qi Yunshen returned to the Qi Mansion in the middle of the night.

Qi Yunshen moved very gently. After getting on the bed, he hugged Jiang Yunzheng with his long arms and legs, and rubbed his clean chin against Jiang Yunzheng's long black hair.

Qi Yunshen's voice was a little hoarse as he had been busy with military affairs these past few days. "Are you still awake?"

Jiang Yunzheng woke up as soon as Qi Yunshen entered the room.

She shook her head and pushed Qi Yunshen's head away: "Why did you come back tonight?"

Qi Yunshen stared at her: "Why are you losing weight again?"

Jiang Yunzheng laughed: "Maybe it's due to acclimatization."

Qi Yunshen held Jiang Yunzheng's hands and placed them on his chest. He said solemnly, "Your hands and feet are cold too. Let Lao Luo come and take a look at you tomorrow."

The next day, Lao Luo came to the yard early.

He felt Jiang Yunzheng's pulse, stroked his beard, and said, "Doctor Jiang, there's nothing serious wrong with you, and your injuries are almost healed."

Qi Yunshen's expression was cold: "Really?"

Doctor Luo snorted, "If you don't believe me, you should believe Doctor Jiang. She is a doctor herself."

Jiang Yunzheng smiled at Qi Yunshen, and her small face looked even smaller.

"Go ahead and do your work, we're going out too."

Qi Yunshen gave her a last worried look: "There are many people here today, Qingying and the others are following us."

Jiang Yunzheng waved at him and said, "Go ahead."
