Chapter 322: Die
"It's getting dark soon. It's hard to travel in the dark. Let's camp out in the wild tonight and get up early tomorrow to travel."
Yun Heng glanced at the last bit of light in the western sky before it disappeared from his sight. He felt a little worried. "Let's hurry on our way overnight. I'm still uneasy and want to see her as soon as possible."
The leading man said, "We also know that Master Yun is worried, but we also have to consider his safety. Master Yun is a great doctor. If something unexpected happens on the road, we will be held accountable by the prince. What's worse, if something unexpected happens to Master Yun, there will be no one to treat Second Miss Qiao."
Yun Heng let out a long breath and was silent for a moment before responding, "Well, as you say."
Everyone stopped, and Yun Heng sat on a rock and looked towards the capital. Although he couldn't see anything, it seemed that this made him feel a little more at ease.
I'll see her soon.
No one knew what happened to her. The people sent by King Jing just said that her illness was not serious, but the doctors in the capital were incompetent and could not cure her.
Yun Heng lowered his eyes. He should have stayed by her side and accompanied her forever, but it was a pity that if he stayed with her, the Shangshu Mansion would be disturbed every day.
"Mr. Yun, have a bowl of hot soup first. The food will have to wait a while. We are camping outdoors, and I'm afraid your stomach will suffer tonight."
Yun Heng took the bowl of hot soup and said, "Thank you."
He said just two words and didn't say anything else. It seemed that he always spoke very little when facing people other than Qiao Wanyan, and he felt that talking was a waste of his energy.
The man who delivered the soup looked like he wanted to drink the soup, so he left without delivering it.
Yun Heng was about to drink it, but the next moment he brought the bowl closer and smelled a faint scent that didn't belong to this bowl of hot soup. He put the bowl down calmly.
"I'm not too thirsty yet and can't drink much. You don't need to take care of me. Go and do your work."
The man who brought the soup smiled and said, "Sir, you have been traveling with us for a long time, how can you not be thirsty? You should drink it."
Yun Heng refused, "I'm not thirsty, I don't want to drink."
The man who delivered the soup didn't say anything. He just glanced at the man who was looking at them not far away. He was the leader of their group.
The man walked over, glanced at the bowl of soup he had placed aside, and then glanced at Yun Heng.
"If Master Yun doesn't drink, it means he looks down on us."
Yun Heng could tell that the tone was different from before, so he didn't say anything but just looked at them quietly. The hand under his sleeve calmly took out the silver needle.
It's poisonous.
The man suddenly smiled and said, "I know that Master Yun is an excellent doctor and should be able to use poison, so I planned to give you something before killing you, which would be safer. But who would have thought that Master Yun was too cautious."
He drew the long sword from his waist, and the sword looked particularly eerie in the night.
It was like a ghost was trapped inside, roaring and arguing.
"The prince wants your life, so we can't keep you alive. Otherwise, if you don't die, we will die. Sorry, Master Yun, we will send you off today."
Yun Heng stood up instantly and took a few steps back. King Jing wanted to kill him?
Why?
I have no grudge against him.
He seemed to have heard people say before that Prince Jing hated Wan Yan very much.
Could it be that he knew that Wanyan's life was hanging by a thread and that he was the only one who could save her, so he wanted to kill himself and let Wanyan die?
Yun Heng threw out the silver needle from his sleeve without hesitation, and the silver needle pierced the neck of the leading man almost without being noticed.
The man didn't feel anything unusual. The next moment, he fell to the ground powerlessly. He was no longer able to breathe and no one knew how he died.
Yun Heng turned around and ran. He was just a doctor. He made this trip just to see Wan Yan and didn't even bring any servants with him.
"Chase! He must be killed!"
Yun Heng walked very fast, but no matter how fast he walked, he could not shake off the dozen or so assassins who were chasing him in a desperate attempt to save their lives.
"Die!"
Following a sinister voice, Yun Heng looked back while running, but found that he could no longer hide.
Oh no!
Yun Heng opened his eyes again, and the sound of a long sword entering his body was heard.
Not his, but the assassin's.
Yun Heng looked back and saw three or four men riding horses towards them.
The leading man held a bow and arrow. An arrow passed by his ear and pierced the chest of the assassin behind him.
Yun Heng recognized the leading man.
It was Jing Yuan, the prince’s close bodyguard.
More than a dozen assassins were killed by Jing Yuan in a blink of an eye, leaving only one alive. When Jing Yuan wanted to interrogate the murderer, he saw that the assassin bit the poison in his mouth and died.
"Why are you here?"
Jing Yuan swung his sword, wiped off the blood on the sword, and then walked over. "Why is Master Yun here? I was just about to go to Pharmacist Valley to find Master Yun. Who are these people? Why did Master Yun attract so many assassins?"
Yun Heng didn't say much, "I don't know, I don't know him."
It was King Jing who sent them to kill him, but it would be hasty to only listen to one side of the story.
Jing Yuan looked calm, "I'm here to take Master Yun to the capital. My prince wants Master Yun to make an antidote for the love poison for Miss Qiao Er."
Yun Heng frowned, "Love Gu?"
Jing Yuan nodded, "Miss Qiao was poisoned by a love poison. I wonder if Master Yun knows about this poison. I heard that after being poisoned by a love poison, one will fall deeply in love with the first person they see. After Miss Qiao woke up, she saw Prince Jing."
Yun Heng frowned.
Jing Yuan continued, "Miss Qiao once saved my prince. She is his lifesaver. After learning about this, I always feel that it is unfair to Miss Qiao. A good person has been manipulated by the love Gu, so I sent my subordinates to the Pharmacist Valley. Can you ask Master Yun for help just now?"
Yun Heng turned his head and took a look at the bodies lying on the ground.
Therefore, it was King Jing who had poisoned her with a love poison, and he was afraid that the antidote would be made and his plot would be exposed, so he sent an assassin to kill him to prevent future troubles.
In this way, no one in this world can remove the love poison.
Even if there were, they would be killed like himself before entering the capital.
Jing Yuan also followed his gaze and glanced at the body on the ground, and then said, "If you don't believe me, you can come back to the capital with me. Go to the capital and see Miss Qiao coming in and out of Prince Jing's mansion every day. You will know that Miss Qiao is abnormal at a glance."
"Master Yun, please don't hesitate any longer. We will travel overnight and arrive in the capital early tomorrow morning. Miss Qiao's poison is serious. Master Yun, please save her!"
One of them tried to stop him from returning to Beijing and insisted on spending the night outdoors, while the other one was anxious to take him back to Beijing.
Yun Heng did not hesitate and at this moment he just wanted to get to the capital as soon as possible.
"Okay, let's set off immediately."
