Chapter 66 Chapter 66 "It's okay to give it a try, we both love each other." ...
Yun Qin saw Jiang Daiyi wake up and explained slowly, "You were poisoned and have been unconscious for five days."
Jiang Daiyi fell back to the edge of the couch and asked in surprise, "Where's Mingrou?"
Yun Qin lit a candle, and the room suddenly became bright. He picked up the still steaming medicine bowl on the table, walked to the bedside, and handed it to Jiang Daiyi. "Drink it, and you'll feel better."
Jiang Daiyi asked stubbornly, "Where's Mingrou?"
Yunqin asked, "Do you care about her so much?"
Jiang Daiyi: "She is my sister."
Yun Qin was silent for a moment, then sat down beside her. He scooped up the medicine with a spoon and fed it to her pale lips. "You are my sister too."
Jiang Daiyi refused to drink and insisted on knowing Mingrou's whereabouts. She continued to refute Yunqin's words.
"Not anymore," she said, then asked, "Why do you keep trying to capture Mingrou?"
Seeing that she didn't want to drink, Yun Qin didn't force her. He put the medicine bowl on the wooden table beside the bed and mentioned another matter.
"The ninth day of the sixth lunar month is your coming-of-age ceremony."
Jiang Daiyi didn't understand why he said that, "I don't remember."
The ninth day of the sixth lunar month was her birthday and also her coming-of-age day this year. She didn't remember it, but Yunqin did.
The moonlight made his eyes and eyebrows stand out, and he helped Jiang Dai remember the promise he had made to her.
He said, "When you were little, you told me that you wanted me to take care of your coming-of-age ceremony."
Jiang Daiyi vaguely remembered that such an incident had indeed occurred. It started when Yun Qin's aunt's family sent an invitation to the Yun Mansion, saying that the aunt's daughter was going to have a coming-of-age ceremony and invited relatives and friends to attend.
Yunqin and Jiang Daiyi also went there, and it just so happened that the cousin's coming-of-age ceremony was hosted by her cousin himself. Although Jiang Daiyi wanted to use Yunqin, she still coveted the rare brother-sister warmth.
Out of envy and fear of losing this relationship, she once asked Yunqin if he could help her with the coming-of-age ceremony, and Yunqin agreed.
Even Jiang Daiyi herself almost forgot about this matter, but unexpectedly, Yun Qin still remembered it.
Yunqin tried to remind Jiang Dai that there was a real friendship between them.
"When my sister was little, she always loved to cling to me, but now she avoids me like a wolf or a tiger."
Jiang Dai felt a little dizzy. As she listened to Yun Qin's words, she suddenly felt sad. People in darkness always want to absorb some light, but once they get it, they become anxious and afraid of losing it, so they simply give up.
Yun Qin embraced Jiang Daiyi's body, which was about to fall down due to being unable to sit for a long time due to the poisoning. He straightened her up, lifted her chin and made her look at him.
He said, "If you don't want to be my sister, perhaps we can get along in a different way."
"Can I try it?"
Jiang Daiyi drowsily asked Yun Qin, "How do we try?"
What other method can be used?
No matter which method, it seems difficult for her to feel at ease. She does not belong to this world. There is always a gap between her and this world and everyone in this world.
Yun Qin caught Jiang Daiyi, who was about to fall asleep. He held her in his arms like he did when they were little, coaxing her softly and calming her anxiety. His perseverance finally touched her and made her let go.
"Whatever you say is what it is. You can try it however you want. I'm going to sleep..." After Jiang Daiyi said this, she seemed to fall into a deep sleep.
Yun Qin reached out and caressed her soft eyebrows. His elegant voice echoed in the dark night: "Why not give it a try? We both like each other."
Jiang Daiyi's eyelashes trembled in her sleep, and she didn't know whether she was dreaming about something again or heard what he said.
Yunqin held her in his arms as if she were a precious treasure.
The moon is hazy and you can sleep soundly all night.
When Jiang Daiyi woke up, she was already in a carriage.
Yunqin had just finished feeding her medicine and was wiping the corner of her lips with a handkerchief.
Jiang Daiyi held the handkerchief, sat up and said, "I'll wipe it myself."
Yunqin let her take the handkerchief away. She leaned against the cushioned wall of the carriage, her ears still ringing with his words from last night. The carriage stopped, and the servant lifted the curtain and said to Yunqin, "Sir, it's noon, and Miss Mingrou is complaining that she is hungry and wants to eat."
Jiang Daiyi raised her eyes, and Yunqin looked back at her and said, "Don't you want to see Mingrou? Go down."
The servant set up the curtain and placed a small stool under the carriage, asking Jiang Daiyi to get off. Before Jiang Daiyi got off, she heard Mingrou complaining.
"You've been chasing me for days, like a rat that can't stand the light, and now you're just giving me these to eat. I want good food!"
Si Wu had also returned and was now looking at Ming Rou speechlessly, trying to reason with her, "It wasn't me who was hunting you down, so why are you making things difficult for me? Where can I find a good place for you in this deep forest?"
Mingrou attacked with lightning speed, slamming the dry food biscuit into Siwu's face. "Aren't you also Yunqin's? You are all guilty!"
Mi Wu couldn't stand it any longer, "Believe it or not, I will kill you?"
Mingrou made a face: "Come on, come on."
Mi Wu drew out his sword with a sullen face.
On the other side, Jiang Daiyi and Yun Qin walked side by side.
Yun Qin stopped Si Wu: "Si Wu, stop."
Mi Wu looked depressed.
Mingrou turned around and saw Jiang Daiyi. She ran towards her excitedly. Jiang Daiyi supported Mingrou and said to Yunqin, "I feel uncomfortable after sleeping for so long. I want to go for a walk."
Yun Qin smiled gently and said, "Don't run too far."
Jiang Daiyi nodded and pulled Mingrou to talk in private, but the two of them walked away.
“…”
Si Wu walked up to Yun Qin and asked, "Sir, this Ming Rou is no pushover. She appears to be a firecracker, but she's secretly using the Gu given by Miss Jiang to trick our people into finding out Qian Xiang's whereabouts."
The smile in Yunqin's eyes faded, and Qingjun said, "Just asking Qianxiang? Have you found out the whereabouts of Qiang Wuyue?"
Si Wu said, "Qiang Wu Yue didn't ask, sir, this must have been something Miss Jiang asked her to do."
It is obvious that if it was Mingrou's own idea, how could she have Jiang Daiyi's Gu in her hand?
…
Jiang Daiyi pulled Mingrou to the edge of a lake and asked Mingrou to throw all the Gu on her body into the water. While throwing the Gu, Mingrou looked around vigilantly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one from Yunqin was following them.
Mingrou said, "This Siwu is really troublesome. He keeps sticking to me like a dog-skin plaster. It's so annoying."
Jiang Daiyi knew that Yunqin had been trying to catch Mingrou, so she gave Mingrou a poisonous insect for self-defense in advance. If she was caught, she could use the insect to escape. Unexpectedly, Yunqin didn't want to hurt Mingrou.
With all this going on, Jiang Daiyi had no idea what Yunqin was trying to do.
She reminded Mingrou: "Yunqin is heading north. If you have a chance to escape along the way, I will cover you."
Jiang Daiyi still thinks it is better for Mingrou to leave.
Mingrou asked Jiang Daiyi, "Can I escape? I won't get you into trouble."
Jiang Daiyi shook her head: "It's okay."
The weeping willows were lush and green in early March, and several drooping branches swayed into the water. Jiang Daiyi's face was reflected in the rippling water, and she suddenly spoke softly.
"Mingrou, if I fall in love with Yunqin..."
Mingrou was horrified: "You like Yunqin? Then you are in big trouble."
Jiang Daiyi said honestly: "I don't like him yet, but what would happen if he fell in love with us?"
Mingrou felt that Jiang Daiyi was acting strangely. She frowned and thought, "You might drive him crazy."
Jiang Daiyi was surprised: "No way?"
"Hmph..." Mingrou curled her lips. Of course not.
Although Mingrou didn't know what Jiang Daiyi was afraid of, she could clearly feel Jiang Daiyi's alienation from everyone. Although they were good friends and like sisters, she could still feel it.
"You know it in your heart, don't you?"
Jiang Daiyi said nothing.
Mingrou was right. In this world, she was always in a state of anxiety.
She is not from this world. Even though she has parents who treat her very well, she has already arranged the rest of her life for them.
Jiang Daiyi once couldn't even accept any friendship. At a certain point, she even wanted everyone to forget her. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
It feels like fear, but also like a disguised form of escape.
She wasn't sure if one day she would suddenly go back to this world just like when she first came back.
Then she found out it was just a nightmare.
She was lonely and she felt out of place here.
Mingrou threw a stone into the water, looked at Jiang Daiyi's unhappy expression, and said, "Our first half of life has been so miserable. If we can meet someone we like in the second half, it would not be bad."
Jiang Daiyi was in a complicated mood; it was really difficult to talk about love.
So, let’s get down to business.
"Have you found out what Yunqin is going to do in the north?" Jiang Daiyi asked Mingrou.
Mingrou said, "Recently, many people in the north have been poisoned and are in a coma. The symptoms are drowsiness and weakness. Once poisoned, they may not wake up."
Isn't that exactly the same as the poison in my body?
To the north, near the border of Qian State, Jiang Daiyi asked suspiciously, "Is it King Huai Geng?"
Mingrou nodded. "That should be Prince Huai Geng, right? I just don't know what Yunqin is thinking right now. Yunqin is well versed in pharmacology. If he had developed a prescription, he could have just sent someone to deliver it to various places. Why would he go there in person?"
Jiang Daiyi speculated, "Perhaps it's related to the recent rumors. Yunqin has lost the support of the people because of me. Going there in person can also appease the people."
But if you think about it carefully, this reason is also far-fetched. With Yun Qin's shrewdness, it would be easy for him to win the hearts of the people, and he could also directly deal with King Huai Geng. Why would he go around in circles like this?
Mingrou suddenly came up with an idea and gave Jiang Daiyi some advice.
"Since King Huai Geng wants to avenge his defeat, spreading rumors and poisoning people, he will definitely continue to cause trouble in the north. Why don't you hide your identity and stay with Yun Qin to help the people, looking for an opportunity to expose King Huai Geng's conspiracy, so that the people will not continue to misunderstand you."
Jiang Daiyi felt a little strange when she heard this.
This is a very common way to break the deadlock, but, precisely because it is so common, it feels wrong. It seems that everything is going in the direction she wants, too smoothly.
After Mingrou finished speaking, she gradually came back to her senses.
She said to Jiang Daiyi, "No wonder Yunqin wants to go north. Is he deliberately making you think you can go north with him so that he can use his convenience to clear the blame on you?"
"He made this trip just for you."
