Chapter 984 Dharma Fate (4)
Luo Tan said, "Prince Rui!" She no longer called him "brother-in-law" in a friendly way.
Xie Jingxing glanced at her, Shen Miao was unconscious, and he was also annoyed. He had even less patience towards others, and his face was stern.
But Luo Tan had always been reckless. When she got angry, she was fearless. She said, "My cousin refused to let me tell you before, but now she's lying in bed. If she doesn't want to tell you, I'll tell you. I don't have any scruples, and I don't think as much as she does. It would be a shame to hide what I did for no reason!"
Uncle Tang and Tieyi, who had rushed over after hearing the news, also stood aside and looked at Luo Tan in surprise after hearing what was said.
"Those ladies said that your cousin rarely visited you when you were bedridden. You felt neglected and that your cousin is heartless, so you were unhappy and angry with her, right?" Luo Tan stared at him and said, "But you don't know that she didn't come to see you all those days not because she didn't want to, but because she was out of town looking for medicine for you!"
Going out of the city to seek medicine for Xie Jingxing, Xie Jingxing's eyes fell on Tieyi. Tieyi lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xie Jingxing's eyes.
Previously, it was because Shen Miao asked them, the servants, to conceal the matter. Later, after Shen Miao came back, she inexplicably started a cold war with Xie Jingxing again. Once Xie Jingxing's heart turned cold, no one around him dared to offend him at this juncture. He had originally thought of waiting a few days before discussing it, but he didn't expect this to happen again.
"Explain clearly!" Xie Jingxing took a step forward.
Luo Tan said, "You probably didn't know, but I heard there's a master in Fengtou Manor who can defy fate and change people's destiny." She glanced at Gao Yang and said, "At that time, Gao Yang was refining an antidote for you. My cousin gave you all three Guiyuan Pills, but it could only save your life temporarily. If an antidote couldn't be found within ten days, your life would be in danger. But on the fourth day, your condition was critical. The imperial physician said you wouldn't survive seven days. My cousin heard the legend of the master in Fengtou Manor, so she took me and a few guards to Fengtou Manor."
Xie Jingxing's eyes were shocked.
Who is Shen Miao? She analyzes the pros and cons rationally and shrewdly, and seems to be particularly disbelieving in ghosts and gods. She actually believes in such a ridiculous thing as changing one's fate against the will of heaven. She must be really desperate and anxious.
"Fengtou Manor isn't far from Longye, but the place where the master resides is extremely difficult to find. We rushed there overnight that day and almost got lost in the woods. There were also wolves, but my cousin wasn't afraid at all. She insisted on lighting a torch and searching the night before, fearing she wouldn't be able to get back in time to save you."
"The next day we found the master. He used the Qimen Dunjia technique to take only my cousin and I, who had no martial arts skills, into the valley. He said he had a magical herb that could cure all poisons, but he wanted my cousin to pay a price. The price wasn't particularly high. He didn't want gold or silver, let alone lives. Instead, he wanted to pick out the insects from each of the red sleeve grasses that filled the valley, and then fertilize them one by one."
Gao Yang and Ji Yushu both looked surprised, while Uncle Tang and Tieyi were even more shocked.
They had never heard of these things from anyone else, let alone the connection between them. Uncle Tang suddenly understood. No wonder Shen Miao had been so embarrassed the day she returned home, even more unbecoming of the Princess of Rui when compared to Ye Mei. He hadn't understood the reason at the time, but now he understood. It turned out that Shen Miao hadn't slept that night, instead busying herself as a flower farmer to get medicine for Xie Jingxing. He sighed for a moment. To be able to condescend to do this for someone else, besides her resilience, was even more valuable because of her thoughtfulness.
