Chapter 43: Little Immortal Induces Poison

Xu Nian looked around and saw a small courtyard with two entrances. Not only was there a stable, but there was also a small pond. What was even more amazing was that the pond must be connected to running water from somewhere, because there were fish swimming in it.

She then looked through each room one by one. The furniture in the room was complete and well preserved. Apart from some bedding and other daily necessities, Xu Nian felt that there was no need to buy anything else.

"Nian'er, which room should I sleep in?"

Xu Nian pointed to the room they entered and said, "Uncle, move your things to the third room from the left on the west side."

Xu Wei'an happily began to move his own luggage.

After looking at the yard, the two men went to check the fields. Because the tenants all lived outside the manor, they did not run into anyone along the way.

Looking at the land covered with snow, Xu Nian suddenly felt a sense of pride in her heart, and she wanted to roll up her sleeves and get to work.

The two of them didn't walk far. Xu Nian took a quick look and had an idea in his mind.

She had already decided what to plant on each piece of land. She planned to first plant the sweet potatoes and soybeans in the dry land. She planned to plant vegetables that were not available in Sheng Dynasty in the mountains, and millet from the northern border in the paddy fields.

The reason why she didn't take out corn and rice was because there were too few seeds in the space and she needed time to accumulate them.

"Nian'er, are you going home directly or to the county government office?"

"Go home."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Xu Nian did not refuse. She really didn't want to go to the county town to rent a car.

"Uncle, if you have nothing to do, go to the county school. Xiaoji and the others will be on holiday soon."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lingshan Temple Zizhuyuan

Mo Bai hurried into the yard from outside and saw Mo Yu guarding two potted plants.

"Xiao Yuyu, what are you doing? This is our master's treasure. You are so brave to touch it."

Mo Yu turned around, leaving the back of her head to Mo Bai, and couldn't stop rolling her eyes in her heart. If the prince hadn't asked her to move out, would she dare to move?

"Xiao Yuyu, don't ignore your brother. Wait, I'll call you first, wait for me to come out."

Watching Mo Bai walking away, Mo Yu hurriedly picked up a potted plant and went to the backyard.

Luo Jin'an and Guan Qingrui were playing chess in the study. Guan Qingrui saw that the prince was in a good mood today, so he asked tentatively, "Prince, you have recovered well. Do you want to go back to the royal city?"

"Is it the prince who sent another letter to urge me?"

Guan Qingrui paused holding the chess piece, feeling awkward, and said slowly, "The prince is also worried about you."

For a moment, the room was silent, with only the sound of chess pieces falling on the board.

"Your Highness, this is Mo Bai."

"Come in"

As soon as Mo Bai walked in, he felt the atmosphere was a bit weird.

"Your Highness, Miss Xu has already gone back."

"Um"

Mo Bai's usually eloquent mouth was silenced by a "hmm", and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Luo Jinan pushed the chessboard away and looked at Mo Bai.

"Nothing else to say?"

Mo Bai's expression froze. In order to avoid being discovered by Miss Xu, he did not dare to get too close. He certainly did not hear what was said, but judging from her expression, he was satisfied.

"Ms. Xu likes this manor very much. She was smiling all the time."

Luo Jinan didn't say anything else, but picked up the teacup and drank it in small sips. Mo Bai and Guan Qingrui also left the study room tactfully.

"Master Guan, what happened to our master?"

Guan Qingrui smiled bitterly, said nothing more, and walked back to his room.

Guan Qingrui returned to his room and took out the letter from his father. After reading it, he sighed deeply.

He understood his father's desire to relieve the prince's worries, but how could he persuade the prince?

Guan Qingrui's mother and the princess were close friends, so when he was a child, he often went in and out of the Zhenbei Palace with his mother, and therefore often played with Luo Jin'an, who was two years younger than him.

He remembered that Luo Jin'an was very cute and loved to laugh when he was a child. Although he was a little weak, he never cried.

The accident happened when he was six years old and Luo Jinan was four years old in the autumn. He got a soft and cute rabbit and wanted to give it to Luo Jinan. However, the rabbit ran out of the bedroom when no one was paying attention. It was when they went to look for the rabbit that they heard the quarrel between the prince and the princess.

"Shu'er, how long will it take you to let go of this matter? Changsheng is also my child. Do I want to watch him suffer and see his life in danger?"

"Then why did you use Changsheng to induce poison? Do you know how cruel this is to me? I would rather be poisoned to death. Every time I see Changsheng, I feel like a sinner.

Immortality, immortality, how can he achieve immortality..."

Guan Qingrui still remembers his trembling body and Luo Jinan who was silent at that time.

He originally thought that the four-year-old Luo Jin'an might not have understood those words, until three days later when he received the news that Luo Jin'an was critically ill. It turned out that he had been in a coma for three days.

Yes, how could he not understand? He was a child prodigy who could compose poetry at the age of three, and was also determined by Qintianjian to be a Purple Star who would prosper for a hundred years...

Guan Qingrui looked at the letter in his hand again. Perhaps only the princess could allow the prince to return to the royal city.

And Luo Jinan, who was sipping cherry juice in the study, also recalled that autumn.

Ever since he could remember, his father and mother had doted on him in every way, so his brother had been angry with him many times. However, seeing him guzzling medicine every day, his brother would always soften his heart and surrender first.

He once asked his mother why he always had to drink bitter medicine. Every time, his mother looked at him with tears in her eyes. It was not until later that he realized that the look was one of guilt.

It was not until that day when he accidentally heard the quarrel between his father and mother that he realized that he was not weak at all, but was poisoned, and he was just a trigger for the antidote.

There was a moment when he particularly hated himself for being so precocious, but at the same time he was particularly glad that his mind was not that of an ordinary four-year-old.

But he didn't expect that just by secretly pouring the medicine once, he almost had to meet King Yan, and his mother was so tired that her legs were almost broken.

If he had any resentment, maybe he did in the beginning, but now he no longer has that resentment. He just doesn't want to see those guilty eyes and cautious attitudes.

He once thought that perhaps only if he left this world could others live without burdens.

When did I change my mind? It must have been when I saw the trembling figure standing in the rain.

The wolf-like girl stood in the wind and rain, as if nothing could destroy her. At that moment, he also wanted to take a gamble with God.

He clearly felt the signs of poison taking effect that day, but he still didn't take the antidote pill in his sleeve. He wanted to see if God would take his life.

When he opened his eyes and saw the face that was magnified in front of him, his heart had never been so shocked. Perhaps twenty-three years old was not his destiny.

It was not until he felt a stinging pain in his hand that Luo Jinan came to his senses. It turned out that he had crushed the teacup in his hand without knowing when.
