Chapter 65 The Team Sets Off
"Sister-in-law, how is my brother? These are the herbs Tarrou brought back this morning..."
Wen Liyu hurriedly held the brown paper bag in her arms, lifted the curtain and started asking questions. Before she finished speaking, she found that Wen Chengyun had woken up.
"What else can I do? As you can see."
Cheng Weiyao felt a little soft in her heart when she saw Wen Liyu with red eyes and tears welling up in her eyes. She took the initiative to give up her seat in front of the bed.
History is full of stories of brothers killing each other and plotting to usurp the throne. Although my sister-in-law has a twisted and spoiled personality, she truly cares about everyone in the Prince Qingping's Mansion, which is rare in the royal family.
Wen Liyu stuffed the brown paper bag she was holding into Cheng Weiyao's hands, turned around and rushed to the bed, muttering with concern and complaints, "Brother, are you really going to scare our family to death? Mother was so frightened for you last night that her eyes were still red this morning. And Cheng Ming..."
Cheng Weiyao opened a paper bag on the table beside her and examined the herbs. The girl's clear and pleasant voice lingered in her ears, and she couldn't help but laugh. I didn't realize that this little sister-in-law had the potential to be Tang Sanzang. She was so talkative...
"Madam, save me."
Wen Chengyun listened patiently to Wen Liyu's mumbling, which included herself, her mother and her younger brother, but did not mention the lady's contribution. As soon as Ah Yu arrived, the lady took the initiative to step aside, feeling a little aggrieved.
Cheng Weiyao paused as she was counting the herbs. The two siblings were just chatting about personal matters, so why did they suddenly tag her?
"Ah? Um... you're injured. You need to rest."
Cheng Weiyao blinked and gave a universal excuse, but the next second it was refuted by the visitor.
"Rest? We don't have time to stay in the plains. We must continue on our journey. How is Prince Qingping doing..."
Wang Gang lifted the curtain, and his sharp eyes immediately locked onto the bed. He had heard from Chen Er and Li Kui that Prince Qingping was dying, so he hurried over early in the morning.
Wen Chengyun was sitting on the bed, perfectly normal. Although his expression was indeed grim, at least he was awake and not unconscious.
"I'm glad you're okay. You're injured in the shoulder, right? As long as it doesn't affect your walking, that's fine. Pack up and get going!"
Wang Gang's frown relaxed. It's not that this man can't die, but he can't die at the hands of others! His brother's revenge hasn't been avenged yet, and he hasn't had enough revenge. Since he can't die, he should prepare to go on the road step by step!
Wen Liyu's lips were puffed up like a pufferfish. Cheng Weiyao was afraid she would start talking again, so she simply dragged her out of the tent. "Did you hear what the official said? Even if your brother isn't injured, according to the rules, we should hurry on. Go inform Mother and my younger brother, and I'll take care of the tent..."
Now that she had something to do, Wen Liyu glared angrily in the direction of the big tent, then turned and went to Taru's house to find the imperial concubine and Wen Chengming.
The exiled team quickly gathered at the designated location. During these days, they accompanied the herdsmen in grazing and eating meat, exposed to the wind and sun. Although the men were not as delicate as before, their physique and spirit seemed to have improved greatly.
When the female relatives saw Wen Chengyun injured, they began to discuss among themselves in low voices, their words expressing their concern for their own family's safety.
"Even Prince Qingping is so powerful, but he's injured like this. If it were anyone else, wouldn't they have died? My husband doesn't know any martial arts. What kind of bastard has targeted the exile group..."
"I remember a certain wife of an official once came with gifts and asked me to persuade her husband to do something. I refused outright. Will she hire someone to take revenge now..."
Most of those exiled were royal relatives who held an official position in the court. Naturally, there were people who wanted to bribe them secretly. Whether they agreed or refused, it was a tricky problem in their current situation: if they agreed, they worried about being killed to silence them; if they refused, they worried about deliberate revenge.
"Shut up! Women just love to gossip. We're here for Prince Qingping. Which man among you has such status? Instead of worrying about other people's affairs, why not hurry up and get on with your journey?"
Wang Gang shouted with a cold face, and directly set the target of the man in black on King Qingping. It didn't matter whether it was true or not, but the team had to be stabilized.
The corners of Cheng Weiyao's mouth twitched slightly. Wang Gang's method of comforting people was really simple and rough, and it also revealed bad intentions. At this time, he did not forget to use his vanity to provoke the relationship between everyone and the Qingping Palace.
The team set out again, and Wen Chengyun was left with Cheng Weiyao as an exception because of his injury so that he could be taken care of. His injury was actually not serious, and he would be fine as long as the poison was removed and the external injuries were healed.
After much deliberation, he decided to go with the flow. In front of the officers, he pretended to be disabled and unable to lift his arm, in order to further lower their guard. Unexpectedly, by chance, he actually got the opportunity to stay in the women's team.
Cheng Weiyao was paying close attention to Wen Chengyun's condition all the way. She certainly believed in the farm's medicines. QQ Farm's products must be top-quality, but poisoning was no small matter after all. Cleaning up the remaining poison and caring for the external injuries were still points that could not be taken lightly.
It was not until sunset that Wang Gang ordered everyone to rest in place and prepare to spend the night.
Cheng Weiyao started to light the fire with ease, but this time she was not going to cook, but to prepare Wen Chengyun's medicine first.
Just as they opened the brown paper bag and before they could even start boiling the medicine, Chen Er and Li Kui, sitting cross-legged in the line of officials, started yelling, "You guys from the Qingping Palace! Get out of here! Can't you see everyone's getting ready for dinner? You're doing this to ruin our appetite, aren't you?!"
Cheng Weiyao's face darkened slightly. After glancing at the people around him, he took the initiative to move his things. He had indeed been inconsiderate. It was mealtime, and the smell of Chinese medicine was indeed not good for his appetite.
"My injury is not serious. Madam, please prepare the meal first. We have been traveling all day and are starving."
Wen Chengyun glanced at Wen Chengming's deflated belly and spoke softly to ease the atmosphere. Although his younger brother was sensible and did not urge him, he felt even more distressed.
Cheng Weiyao readily began to prepare dinner, and Wen Chengyun's medicine was left to be boiled after the meal. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone scattered around the resting place to rest. Cheng Weiyao, who was still guarding the fire, stood out particularly.
"Husband, please wait a moment. I think this medicine will take a while to boil..."
Feeling a tall shadow falling on her head, Cheng Weiyao subconsciously whispered to comfort him.
