Chapter 198 I don't know if this counts as love
After they woke up, Xie Yanyan never appeared in the ward again.
But she would scan them every day, and when Zhou Shaoyu fell asleep, she would go into the space and carefully wipe his face and hands.
Will sit beside him and watch him silently.
She didn't know if this could be considered love, the kind of love between men and women.
She just wanted to look at him.
Watching him getting better day by day and out of danger, my heart felt painful, sour, and a little bit sweet.
They won't stay here for long, and neither can she.
She prepared all the medicines they needed, copied down the instructions for use, and asked Doctor Chen to copy them again according to the current writing style to dispel Zhou Shaoyu's suspicion.
***
On the second night after the fire in Tianlao, Zhou Huo and Zhou Mu rushed to Yingcheng.
Zhou Huo's hair and eyebrows were burned, and his body was also burned. He didn't feel it at the time, but after running for a day and a night, he suddenly couldn't hold on and fell off his horse.
Zhou Mu pulled him up and found that his entire back and right arm were covered with burns and his whole body was severely scalded.
When they usually go out, they always carry pills for headaches, fevers, and wounds. Zhou Huo's medicine was probably lost in the sea of fire.
Zhou Mu immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into Zhou Huo's mouth, saying anxiously, "Old Four, hold on for a while. Once the city gate opens, I'll take you to see a doctor."
Eagle City is located on a mountain and is the only mountaintop city in the Sixteen Kingdoms.
Zhou Mu and his group carried Zhou Huo into the city.
Not many people come here all year round, and the guard at the door is too lazy to check ID. He just collected 10 coins and let me in.
The city is not big and there are only three inns. Among them, Risheng Inn is the best, so they chose Risheng.
Zhou Mu said, "The fourth one will stay at Risheng first, and the rest of you can go to the other two inns and check carefully to see if there are any masters there."
People were busy looking for doctors and masters.
Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Jin were not in any of the three inns.
Zhou Huo was worried about Zhou Shaoyu and felt drowsy and uneasy.
They stayed at the Sunrise Inn for four days, and during these four days, they searched the entire Eagle City.
Can't find the prince.
I read that little note countless times, feeling anxious like an ant on hot pan.
On the fifth day, they decided to go down the mountain and look for it separately.
Suddenly a brother shouted: "Second Hall Master, Second Hall Master!"
When Zhou Mu came out, he saw two carriages parked in the yard.
There was a little parrot standing on the carriage, chattering in human language.
Seeing Zhou Mu coming out, the bird was not afraid. It tilted its head to look at him, its round black eyes moving cleverly, and suddenly said, "The prince is here."
Zhou Mu hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage: Zhou Shaoyu was lying in the carriage.
They went to see another carriage, which was Zhou Jin.
Zhou Mu was extremely excited, but didn't dare to say much.
Just looking at the parrot, he felt like killing it. This bird would say "The prince is here", which would leak the news, so it must be killed.
The parrot sensed the murderous intent and immediately flapped its wings and flew away: "You scared me to death! You scared me to death!"
Blink and it's gone.
"Quick, find the parrot."
But no matter how they searched the entire inn, they couldn't find the parrot.
After this commotion, Zhou Shaoyu and Zhou Jin both woke up.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Zhou Mu and Zhou Huo who looked abnormal.
"Where is this?"
"Master, this is Eagle City, the Sunrise Inn."
Zhou Shaoyu blinked a few times and understood: while he and Zhou Jin were sleeping, someone sent them to Zhou Mu and Zhou Huo.
"How did you know I was here?"
Zhou Mu asked someone to wait outside and show him the note.
After five days of treatment, Zhou Shaoyu's facial swelling subsided, his vision recovered, and the multiple soft tissue contusions on his body were almost healed. Only his bones will take some time to recover.
After reading the note, I felt a sudden blow in my heart. This was written by her.
These were her words, and he once again confirmed his thoughts. The doctor who treated the illness a few days ago was arranged by her.
Zhou Jin also had a guess, but he tacitly kept it to himself.
Zhou Mu reported to Zhou Shaoyu everything that had happened recently in the capital. The imperial palace was reduced to ruins, and the residence of the Dali Temple Minister was reduced to ruins.
Emperor Xuanwen was beaten so badly that he could not take care of himself for the rest of his life, and the Minister of Dali Temple was turned into a scum.
Zhou Shaoyu took the note and stroked the words over and over again.
She is so cold-hearted and would not show any emotion even if the sky was falling. This time, she must be really angry.
I can’t say anything, and my heart aches.
At that time, Zhou Shaoyu accompanied the prince on his triumphant return from the northwest border, and returned to Kyoto in disguise, reporting to His Majesty about Xie Yanyan's achievements in controlling the locust plague.
"Your Majesty, please pardon Xie Anfeng's family. I tricked Miss Xie into going to the northwest, telling her that I could cure the locust plague. Your Majesty will definitely pardon them. If you don't pardon them, where will I put my face?"
"Do you like Miss Xie very much?"
Zhou Shaoyu was shocked when Emperor Xuanwen said this. If he said he liked it, he was afraid that Emperor Xuanwen would not only not pardon Xie Anfeng's family, but might even kill them.
"Your Majesty is teasing me again. My marriage is decided by my father and Your Majesty. Besides, I am not even twenty yet!"
Emperor Xuanwen smiled and said, "Fortunately you didn't mention it... You've been fooling around all day, and you dared to agree to such a big thing as pardoning criminals! There are so many traitors and thieves, who doesn't want to be pardoned? Am I going to let them all go one by one?"
"You have been by my side for ten years. I cannot afford to offend you. So I will pardon Xie Anfeng's family."
Zhou Shaoyu was extremely happy, knelt down to thank God for his grace, and then said: "Your Majesty, the last time the imperial edict was issued by the Crown Prince, this time send me!"
"Okay, then you and the prince go together to announce the decree."
Zhou Shaoyu returned to the mansion happily, but unexpectedly, the imperial edict came out three days later:
"The Emperor has decreed that since the beginning of the world, every ruler who fulfills destiny must have a concubine who will bring prosperity to the world...
Now there is Xie Anfeng's daughter, Xie, who is virtuous, gentle, and prudent. She first invented the curved plow and then achieved great success in killing locusts. She has benefited the people and is truly a blessing for the Qin Dynasty. Now I pardon Xie Anfeng and his children and restore their white status...
Xie is canonized as the Crown Prince's concubine. I decree this."
Xie Yanyan was also pointed out as the prince's concubine.
Zhou Shaoyu immediately went to the Golden Palace to ask His Majesty, and Emperor Xuanwen was very happy: "It is my will. I will give her another great favor. I have asked the prince, and he is also very happy."
What joy!
"Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler. You should ask Miss Xie if she is willing to marry you. It would be a shame if you mistakenly assign them to a couple who are unhappy with each other!"
"Hahaha, you little monkey, now you know how to care about others? Don't worry, Xie is my daughter-in-law, and I will treat her better than Princess Shunyang."
"What if they don't want to?"
"Why would they not want to? I asked the Crown Prince, and he was very happy. Don't worry about it. Go and issue an edict. We can't let my children and relatives suffer in a place like Lingnan."
Zhou Shaoyu wanted him to take back his decision, but Emperor Xuanwen looked at him grimly and ordered his men to kick him out.
Zhou Shaoyu was shocked and angry. Emperor Xuanwen would definitely not change the imperial edict.
He immediately went to find the prince.
The prince said: "My father has issued an order. I am the prince and I cannot disobey my father's order."
"Miss Xie doesn't like you!"
"She and I have a friendship of fighting against locust plagues together. She has always called me Big Brother Fu. I will definitely love her in my life and never let her down."
Zhou Shaoyu got angry and punched him on the nose: "You favor her? What do you have to favor her? Do you think you can make her a concubine?"
"This is my father's will. No matter whether she is the principal concubine or the concubine, I will cherish her for the rest of my life..."
Wow, I'll beat you to death, Brother Fu, who cherishes my concubine! Are you still a drama queen?
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time!
