Chapter 149 Thousands of times for him

Yun Chen said that he wanted to hear Huo Gannian tell him with his own ears who his ideal person was.

If the answer is not her, she will travel the world with her sword and never look back, without any regrets.

Now Huo Gannian was a little panicked.

He had never intended to go to Youzhou for business. It was just an excuse for him to travel with Yun Chen and spend more time with him.

But Song Lan was in Danyang City and refused to leave. She insisted on waiting for Huo Gannian to return to Kyoto together. The princess's work was pressing, and the account book issue was also imminent...

He should refuse, pretend not to care once more, make her sad once more, but he can live in peace and not have to be involved in this "Huo Yu dispute" again.

But whenever he thought about the last time they separated, which almost became a life-or-death farewell, he felt such pain in his chest that he couldn't breathe.

During those fifty-plus days when there was no news about her, every day was filled with despair and torment.

Everyone thought that it was Isandra that found the Wind-Scorching Grass and cured Huo Gannian's leg disease.

Huo Gannian originally thought so too.

He even thought that Isatis was just unwilling to give up her thoughts on him, so she found some precious herbs to fool him.

Ye Yan said, since Indigo came to the door personally, why not give it a try, what if it works?

Hua Jue, Buyan, Runhe and others around them were also eager to try and couldn't wait. Huo Gan wanted to avoid offending everyone, so he said:

"Then let's try it."

Hua Jue trotted all the way to ask for the palace doctor. The old man, who was over seventy years old, took the brand new white prescription and looked at the deep red withered grass for a long time, then said suspiciously:

"It's indeed the same as the wind-burning grass described in ancient books, but it should be a silvery white, brighter than snow, not a deep red, right?"

The court physician said that he was really not sure, so it would be better to collect several other medicines, find a white jade medicine pot according to the prescription, use lotus leaf dew as water, and boil it to find out the effect.

Soon, everyone worked together to prepare the ingredients on the prescription.

From medicine pots to herbs, except for the deep red wind-scorched grass, everything is pure white. Even the charcoal used for burning fire and cooking medicine is made of rare silver-thread white wood.

Following the order of the prescription, the court physician carefully placed the herbs into the medicine jars one by one.

When adding the wind-burning grass in the last step, the grass melts when it comes into contact with water, and the originally crystal white potion instantly emits a hint of blood red, and then turns into a deep red.

Upon seeing this, the court doctor cried out in shock: "This...it seems like the blood has soaked through the grass!"

Everyone gathered in front of the medicine jar, and saw that the inside was as red as a bowl of blood, with a strong smell of blood.

Ye Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Look at the color and the clumping, it looks like human blood!"

The court doctor continued, "Ancient books record that wind-burning grass can indeed absorb human blood to nourish the herb. If you soak the dry grass in human blood, it can greatly enhance the medicinal effect. However, you need at least half a pound of blood to do so."

Hua Jue frowned, "That woman is so brave for the young master? She's even willing to use her blood to soak the wind-burning grass? But I see that the prescription is spotless, without a single drop of blood."

Bu Yan continued, "Whose blood is it? Her own? If it was someone else's blood, who knows if it's clean or not? If it was her own blood, she would have exposed the wound and asked for credit. Why didn't she say a word?"

Several people discussed for a long time, and then turned to look at Huo Gannian who had been silent, only to find that Huo Gannian had burst into tears without them knowing when.

No one had ever seen Huo Gannian shed a tear, and they were all shocked.

But Huo Gannian, the young master of the Huo Gang who was rich and powerful, actually cried louder and louder in front of a medicine jar until he was shaking all over and couldn't sob.

The one fighting desperately wasn't Song Lan, it was Yun Chen...

He knew that every drop in the medicine jar was Yun Chen's blood.

It was all his beloved girl who shed tears for him...

For Yun Chen's safety, he cruelly expelled her from the Huo Gang, but how could he bear to let her suffer alone outside, so he could only avoid the eyes and ears of the princess and the Yu family, and sent his most trusted secret guard Lu Liang to protect her secretly.

The most important thing about those seemingly ordinary letters is the word "An" at the end.

Until they reached Guangyulan Island, which was full of secret guards, Lu Liang could not get in and could only guard outside the island.

After that, Lu Liang stopped sending letters and there was no news for more than fifty days, and there was no news about Yun Chen.

Then, Isandra's honor guard returned from Dongyan and brought back the wind-scorching grass stained with blood.

Huo Gannian was no fool. After a brief thought, he knew the truth.

He then ordered spies to sneak into Dongyan to investigate. When he heard that there was a chaos in the palace on the night of the emperor's birthday and that assassins were being caught, he became more certain of his thoughts.

Isatis was smart and knew to change the bloodstained prescription.

It’s a pity that she didn’t know that the wind-scorched grassland should have been snow-white, but it was soaked into red by Yun Chen’s blood.

I dare not imagine what kind of life-threatening danger Yun Chen took, and how he endured the heartache of being expelled by him, to risk his life in exchange for a piece of grass without hesitation.

How many injuries would it take to bleed so much? Even a single spot would be soaked with wind-scorched grass.

Probably the heart.

Huo Gannian knew that she always liked to keep important things close to her heart.

So, is Yun Chen still alive? Will he still be able to return to Nan Country, stand before him, and call him "A Nian" with a smile...

Huo Gannian held onto the scalding medicine jar, tears falling into the thick blood, sobbing heartbreakingly, unable to calm down for a long time...

Even after so long, seeing that Yun Chen is now healthy and well, Huo Gannian still feels heartbroken and can't stop crying.

If there is only one person in this world who can fight for him regardless of everything.

I could exchange my life for his a thousand times.

Then this person can only be Yun Chen.

That was his son, the one who should be kept safe and at the top of his heart.

Thinking of this, Huo Gannian made up his mind.

Now that it has come to this, he will never let her get into any danger again.
