The Valley Master said helplessly, "It will take about a month for your eyesight to fully recover. During this period, you still can't remove the gauze."
Xu Lingyi's performance was sometimes too sincere, which made him doubt whether she really liked Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun felt relieved when he heard that he would recover in a month.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
He finally stopped being filled with worry and panic like before.
"Zhao Yun, did you hear that? Your eyes will be healed soon."
Xu Lingyi's voice was filled with joy, which infected Zhao Yun.
He took her hand and said, "Well, thank you Yi'er, thank you Master."
————
The treatment is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Are you feeling better today?"
When Zhao Yun heard her voice, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously:
"Well, although I still can't see clearly these days, it's much better than before."
That day, the master suddenly brought people to Yaowang Valley.
"Master, what is this?"
This was the first time Xu Lingyi saw an outsider in the valley, so Zhao Yun was a surprise.
"I'm from the capital, looking for Zhao Yun."
"Your Highness, I have finally found you."
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Yun was also a little surprised: "How did you get in?"
"It was the Valley Master who brought me in."
The person who spoke was Zhao Yun’s former study partner, Xu He.
The Xu family is an old subordinate of my maternal grandfather's family and has always followed my maternal grandfather on the battlefield.
After the incident at my maternal grandfather's house, the Xu family was also implicated and was demoted again and again over the years.
But no matter what, the Xu family has supported him over the years.
"I brought him in. I was saved by this kid's father once, and I owed him a favor, so I brought him in."
Xu Lingyi understood. So that's it.
If the master hadn't explained, she would have thought that this person was his new disciple.
"He said he wanted to come see you and tell you something important." The Valley Master stroked his beard.
This is also the second reason why he is willing to bring this person in.
Zhao Yun has been in Yaowang Valley long enough.
Both he and Xu Lingyi probably wanted Zhao Yun to leave.
That's why they let people in.
"Since you two know each other, go in and reminisce."
The Valley Master took the initiative to speak, and Xu He got permission before approaching Zhao Yun.
"Your Highness, your eyes?"
"It's nothing. In about ten days, the gauze should be removed and my eyes will be healed. This time, my hidden illness has been cured."
Xu He's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"This is indeed good news. Your Highness is not only safe and sound, but has even turned a disaster into a blessing. You originally insisted on leaving the capital and coming to Medicine King Valley to cure the poison in your body. Now that all your goals have been achieved, Your Highness can return to the capital with satisfaction."
"I have some good news to tell Your Highness. His Majesty has been critically ill for some time."
Zhao Yun's expression really fluctuated. "How is it now?"
"Your Majesty is no longer seriously ill, but when I saw him at court this morning, he was clearly much older and looked much worse than before. His face was pale and blue. I have a feeling that your Majesty may not have much time left."
Xu He reported the situation in the capital to Zhao Yun in detail.
"In fact, I am not the only one who thinks so. Many people in the court share my opinion. The Fourth Prince and his men have also been quite active recently."
After Xu He said so much, Zhao Yun understood that it was time for him to return to Beijing.
He could no longer stay in Yaowang Valley.
"I understand." Zhao Yun frowned and made a decision in his heart.
It was time to say goodbye, and the path he was about to take destined him to be unable to have a romantic relationship.
This period of time can only be regarded as a beautiful dream.
For revenge, he would even sacrifice his own life, let alone a woman.
Even this woman, he had some feelings for her.
————
"You're leaving!!" Xu Lingyi pretended to be surprised.
Zhao Yun nodded and explained, "I must return. Father's health is deteriorating, and now is a critical moment."
"What about me? Can I go to the capital with you?" Xu Lingyi asked tentatively.
Zhao Yun suppressed his reluctance and all his emotions and shook his head, "After I return to Beijing, I might not be able to protect myself, let alone you, so you can't come with me."
"But I'm not afraid of these. I can protect myself. I just want to stay by your side."
Zhao Yun still shook his head. He held Xu Lingyi's hand and said seriously, "You stay in Medicine King Valley, stay here. If I succeed in the future, I will come to pick you up."
"How long will it take?" Xu Lingyi asked.
Zhao Yun remained silent, because he himself could not give a specific time.
"What if you fail?" Xu Lingyi continued to ask.
"Then you can find someone else and don't worry about me. Just live your own life."
"You! I'm not afraid of death. I want to stay by your side. I'm already yours. Who else can I look for besides you? Zhao Yun, you can't abandon me."
Zhao Yun was in a dilemma, but he still pulled away Xu Lingyi's tightly grasped hand. "Be obedient, I'm doing this for your own good. Living is better than anything else. You can live a stable life, so don't follow me into this risky situation."
However, Xu Lingyi seemed to be completely oblivious to what Zhao Yun said. She persisted stubbornly.
"Zhao Yun, I'm not even afraid of going to the forbidden area for you. Why do you think I'm afraid of death? I want to follow you, no matter where you ask me to go?"
Seeing that Zhao Yun still didn't give in, Xu Lingyi seemed incredulous. "You just don't want me to go back to Beijing with you, right?"
