Tuoba Hong suddenly stood up, swiftly slipped one hand under her armpit, and swept her up from behind, pulling her close and galloping across the grassland while calling out to her in a loud voice.
"Wu Le, wake up, wake up quickly!"
...
Sure enough, after taking half a Resurrection Pill due to a momentary loss of emotional control, Yi Shangyun fell into a deep coma in the following days, as if she had contracted some unknown serious illness, and never recovered.
During this period, I experienced repeated bouts of high fever that seemed to have no discernible pattern. The fever would finally subside, only to return inexplicably again very quickly.
Day and night, over and over again, I felt like I was in a state of extreme torment, never truly opening my eyes to be awake for even a moment.
Tuoba Hong had never been so anxious and helpless. He stayed by Tuoba Hong's side day and night, never leaving him for a moment, taking meticulous care of him.
For several days, he often heard her mumbling incoherently in her unconscious state...
However, the vast majority of them were only about Xuan Yuanhan, and occasionally there seemed to be a stranger named "Wei Mingxuan", but there was not a single word about himself.
Disappointment filled Tuoba Hong's face, eyes, and heart, but even more so, fear and worry.
He personally visited almost every renowned doctor and sorcerer he could find, and even the legendary grassland shamans who were said to be able to communicate with spirits and gods.
After a collective consultation, no solution could be found.
Everyone was quite surprised and unanimously agreed that Yi Shangyun was not sick at all, because her pulse showed no abnormalities whatsoever.
What exactly caused her to be in this strange state?
Finally, even after everyone had seen the remaining half of the Rejuvenation Pill that Tuoba Hong had shown them, not a single person could recognize it. They couldn't even identify one or two of its components, and were all deeply puzzled and perplexed by it.
At this moment, it was clear that after several days of painstaking and elaborate efforts, all their hard work had been in vain, and they had no choice but to arrange for people to send them back one by one.
As night fell, Tuoba Hong gazed into the distance at the departing figure of the last elderly physician, escorted by guards. He longed for the man to suddenly turn back and announce that he had found a cure. But clearly…
He stood with his hands behind his back, let out a heavy sigh, and, head bowed, dragged his weary body back into the tent.
By the dim light of a lone lamp inside the tent, he stared blankly at Yi Shangyun's face, who was lying quietly on the bed. Recalling the events of that night, he slowly walked over and sat down in front of Yi Shangyun's simple bed. He took her cold hand that was outside the bed in his hand, breathed warm air on it, and looked at her with deep affection and apology.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I must have said something I shouldn't have, which put unbearable pressure on you. In your desperation, you lost your mind and swallowed that half of the Resurrection Pill, which is why you are like this now."
He paused, still feeling a lingering fear when he thought about that thrilling and bizarre scene.
"Please wake up soon. If you wake up, I will take back everything I said before, and all my feelings for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to warm her cold jade hand with the hot air he blew, but unexpectedly, the seven-colored gold and jade bracelet on the wrist of the hand he was holding suddenly started to flash, as if it was emitting faint purple light.
Tuoba Hong was so surprised that he held his breath and stared intently at the magical seven-colored gold and jade bracelet.
Amidst the flickering purple light, a crimson pattern suddenly appeared faintly. The pattern resembled a '丰' (feng) shape, but it vanished almost as soon as it appeared.
Then, the faint purple light disappeared as well, and everything returned to normal in an instant.
Just then, the person on the bed suddenly began to murmur incoherently again.
"What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force. Cause and effect, reincarnation, a hundred-life covenant, flowers bloom and wither, since it has come, make the best of it."
"How could there be no way to avoid it? How could there be no way to avoid it?..."
“Your young lady is already dead. Her sealed body was accidentally entered by me from the 21st century. I am just someone who shares the same name as your young lady.”
"Guardian of Western Qin, Guardian of Western Qin, why me? Why? No, I'm not! I'm not a guardian! I'm just Yi Shangyun! I am! I am Yi Shangyun from the 21st century! I want to go back! I want to go back to my world! I want to go back! Wei Mingxuan! I want to..."
"Who are you? Who are you? You..."
Upon hearing all this, Tuoba Hong was clearly stunned.
He stared blankly at her sleeping face, which had quieted down again, and repeated her words with a puzzled expression: "21st century? What 21st century? A sealed body? The guardian of Western Qin?"
Faced with this inexplicable string of words he was hearing for the first time in his life, Tuoba Hong spoke while pondering, then seemed to suddenly come to his senses and realize something, so he exclaimed loudly again: "Guardian of Western Qin?"
Then he looked closely at her face and said, "She is... So she is... the descendant of the lost guardian of Western Qin in legend."
At that moment, Tuoba Hong suddenly felt that all his questions about her could be explained.
"No wonder she, a woman, at such a young age, possesses such profound and exquisite medical skills. No matter how critically ill the patient is, she can treat them without any problem. It is simply unheard of and unseen."
In the deep darkness of the night, with a gentle breeze and flickering lamplight, Tuoba Hong stared in astonishment at the bracelet on Yi Shangyun's wrist, once again falling into deep thought.
"No wonder people say, 'He who possesses this power will rule the world.' It turns out that the mysterious guardians of Western Qin possess such immense power that even in medicine they are unparalleled. And in other aspects… this bracelet…"
As he was pondering, a guard suddenly rushed in, approached Tuoba Hong, and whispered, "Your Highness, the First Prince has arrived."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud, extremely angry and arrogant voice came from outside.
“Brother, the Western Qin army is almost at our doorstep. Instead of leading the charge and fighting the enemy, why are you hiding in this remote place, indulging in your own pleasures and indulging in romance? I’ve been searching high and low for this place where commoners live.”
Then, Tuoba Ze swaggered into the tent, looking very angry.
Upon entering, they saw Yi Shangyun lying unconscious on a wooden plank that could be called a bed, supported by two long wooden benches at both ends, in a corner of the tent.
She stopped abruptly, stunned, then turned her cold gaze to Tuoba Hong, who was slowly sitting up by the bedside, and asked in confusion, "What...what is she doing here? What happened to her?"
As he spoke, he quickly took two more steps forward and sat down where Tuoba Hong had just been sitting, carefully examining Yi Shangyun's condition.
At this moment, Tuoba Hong also looked at Yi Shangyun's increasingly thin face and said helplessly, "She herself learned from some unknown source that you are the prince of the Northern Lie Kingdom, and insisted on not staying in the large tent with servants that you arranged for her. She refused to eat or drink or sleep day and night, using this as leverage to force herself to come here to treat these poor herdsmen who have no money for medical treatment."
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Ze immediately glared angrily at Tuoba Hong and snorted, "Hmph... 'Even a clever cook can't make a meal without rice.' Even so, without your secret help and providing her with free medicine, do you think she could save all these herdsmen with just her two hands? Now, on this vast grassland, the name of 'Goddess of Wule' is known to everyone, and it's about to surpass even Father and you and me in fame."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tuoba Ze glared at him fiercely.
"Brother, I..." Tuoba Hong hurriedly tried to explain something, but Tuoba Ze stopped him with his hand.
"Alright, I already know everything about you and her. You don't need to argue with me anymore. If you want to explain, go back and explain to your father. I'm busy, and I don't have time to be as willful and wasteful as you are."
As the two were talking, Tuoba Ze had already taken Yi Shangyun's pulse. He then looked at Tuoba Hong with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong with her? Her pulse is steady and gentle, as if there's nothing wrong. Why is she still unconscious like this? How long has she been like this?"
“She…she has already…” How could he possibly explain this to him? For a moment, Tuoba Hong suddenly began to stammer.
Upon seeing this, Tuoba Ze mistakenly thought that something had happened to Yi Shangyun, so he suddenly stood up, grabbed Tuoba Hong by the collar, and questioned him excitedly.
"What exactly happened? What's wrong with her? I told you to take good care of her and make sure nothing bad happens. Did you just ignore me?"
Tuoba Hong pushed him away forcefully and said urgently, "It was her."
"Herself? What did she do again? Could it be... could it be that she still intends to go back to the Western Qin Kingdom to find that Xuanyuan Han? Hurry up and explain yourself!" Tuoba Ze stared blankly at Yi Shangyun's face and urged Tuoba Hong.
Tuoba Hong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "She took half a Resurrection Pill, and for some reason, she became like this. It has been four or five days, and I have searched for everyone on the grassland who knows medicine, but they are all... at a loss!"
After saying that, Tuoba Hong lowered his head helplessly, and Tuoba Ze asked in surprise and confusion, "What resurrection pill?"
