Chapter 113 Angry
Shu Wan looked at the two of them with a death-threatening look.
Unable to withstand her scrutiny, Yu Jianning had to briefly explain the whole story after getting Rong Chen's approval.
"I was wondering where you went yesterday!" Shu Wan was so angry that she laughed, "Turns out you went to get killed!" She looked at Yu Jianning with a sneer.
"Shu Wan...I..." Yu Jianning hesitated. He didn't want to say it. He was afraid that Shu Wan would be in danger if he acted rashly because he had already messed up.
"Yu Jianning, could you please not be so rash?" She really wanted to pry open this man's head to see what was inside. "If you had been caught yesterday, we would have been in an extremely passive situation, did you know? By then, let alone rescuing Rong Chen, we wouldn't even be able to leave. You're really going to piss me off to death!" She said that when she was excited, she even kicked Yu Jianning, but even though she was angry, she still knew her limits and didn't use too much force.
"Yes, I know I was wrong!" Yu Jianning didn't dare to refute or protest, he could only endure it silently.
"Obviously, Yuwen Yan is testing you today. He has become suspicious!" Shu Wan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. He analyzed the current situation carefully. "Whatever we want to do next, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
"So you can't rush into the palace right now!" Rong Chen quickly took advantage of the opportunity to speak, "We have to think about it carefully!"
"You really can't go in the next two days!" Shu Wan agreed with him, "But are you okay with the poison in your body? Have you felt anything wrong in the past few days?" She was worried that Rong Chen would be poisoned. He drank the medicine every day. If he stopped now, who knows what would happen!
"It's okay!" Rong Chen looked at her seriously and shook his head. "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that there was no adverse reaction after I stopped taking the medicine. Could it be that the medicine is not a poison at all?" He said with a relaxed look on his face.
When he said these words, he seemed to have forgotten all the painful memories when the poison took effect.
Even Yu Jianning secretly gave him a look of admiration.
You are the only one in the world who can lie with your eyes open like this.
You must have forgotten that you were in excruciating pain from the poison last night, and it was me who saved you in the end!
"But I'm still worried. The less reaction there is now, the more serious the situation will be later." Although Rong Chen said so, Shu Wan was still worried and said with a worried look on her face, "Yuwen Yan and the emperor went to great lengths to poison you. This is definitely not a simple joke!" Shu Wan's head hurt a little.
"Don't think too much about it!" Rong Chen comforted her, "There will always be a way." He couldn't bear to see her worrying about him.
"It's all my fault!" Yu Jianning said self-reproachfully. He saw what happened to Rong Chen when the poison took effect. If he continued like that, who knows what would happen to Rong Chen. If he hadn't been so impulsive last night, things wouldn't have developed to this situation.
"It's no use saying this now." Shu Wan sighed, "Let's think of another way!"
"It seems that the Queen's birthday is in a few days!" Rong Chen said hesitantly, "I seem to have heard someone in the court mention it a few days ago." He spoke with indifference on his face. If he hadn't said this today and suddenly remembered it, he would have forgotten about it long ago.
"This is a good opportunity!" Shu Wan nodded, "Let's go back and plan it carefully."
"General Yu!" Rong Chen suddenly called Yu Jianning.
"Ah?" Rong Chen had never called Yu Jianning like this before, so the sudden call of General Yu caught him off guard. "What's wrong?" He suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
"Are there any spies from Blackwater City in Chiyan?" Rong Chen thought so. Blackwater City is so big, there must be a few spies in Chiyan. He gathered them together just in case. He couldn't let Shu Wan be isolated and helpless.
"Yes!" Yu Jianning thought he was going to say something, and after realizing what he was doing, he quickly nodded.
"Where?" Rong Chen had no memory now, and he just hoped that Yu Jianning could be of some use! "I'll go contact them!" He knew all the forces of Black Water City in Chiyan, and those people knew him, so he could go find them.
"Go back and recuperate first!" Rong Chen pursed his lips, "Don't become a burden then!" He added.
Yu Jianning pouted, feeling disdained.
"Okay, let Shu Wan go find someone, and you don't have to go!" Yu Jianning said, "You probably don't have anything that can prove your identity right now, so it's easy to be suspected. Besides, someone must be watching you!"
"Hmm!" Rong Chen thought about it and nodded.
"Where to find someone?" Shu Wan asked.
"There is a herbal medicine shop in the east of the city. We can just go there to find the owner." Yu Jianning asked.
This is not so eye-catching. Now that Yu Jianning is injured, he can take this opportunity to buy medicine to find someone without being noticed.
Shu Wan went out to buy medicine quickly. She did not go to the herbal medicine shop in the east of the city that Yu Jianning mentioned first, but visited five or six herbal medicine shops first, and finally entered this herbal medicine shop called Baishan Tang.
"Boss, get the medicine!" Shu Wan said.
"Miss, what medicine do you want? Do you have a prescription?" the shopkeeper asked politely.
"There is no prescription." Shu Wan replied, "I need one qian of ginseng, two qian of eight-immortals grass, three qian of radix polygoni avicularis, four qian of snow primrose, five qian of clear wind grass, and six qian of blood coagulation grass!" Shu Wan named these strange herbs according to what Yu Jianning told her.
"Miss, do you need any other herbs?" The shopkeeper raised his head and asked tentatively.
"Oh, by the way, I also need half a penny of Angelica sinensis. Angelica sinensis, how could I forget such an important thing!" Shu Wan replied with a smile.
"We have all the herbs you need in our store, but please wait a moment while I go down and pack them for you!" the shopkeeper continued.
"Boss, please hurry up, I only have a quarter of an hour!" Shu Wan replied.
The shopkeeper looked at Shu Wan with some surprise.
"Miss, please move to the back hall and sit for a while!" the shopkeeper invited.
"Okay." Shu Wan replied, then followed the shopkeeper into the back hall.
"I wonder where you are from, young lady, and what you want to do?" After arriving at the back hall, the shopkeeper first looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there were no suspicious people around, he looked at Shu Wan seriously.
"We came from Blackwater City to rescue your city lord!" Shu Wan replied, "Your city lord was injured and lost his memory, and is trapped in the red flames. Your mission now is to help him return to Blackwater City safely." Shu Wan stated the purpose of his visit in simple and shocking words.
"What?" The shopkeeper seemed very surprised. "The city lord... we received news before that he had been murdered..." He didn't expect that Rong Chen was still alive and was now in Blackwater City.
"This is all Chi Yan's conspiracy. The city lord is Chi Yan's current imperial teacher!" Shu Wan had nothing to hide.
"This... the city lord is the state teacher!" The shopkeeper really couldn't figure out how Rong Chen became the state teacher, but he didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, I will immediately mobilize all our forces in the capital to be on standby at any time."
"Okay, be careful, don't get tailed and you won't know it!" Shu Wan reminded him worriedly.
"Yes." They are in this line of work, so they naturally know how to counter-detect. "By the way, who is this girl?" He still didn't know Shu Wan's identity.
"Shu Wan!" Shu Wan replied.
"The young lady is the Madam?" The shopkeeper showed a surprised expression. He had heard of Shu Wan's name before, but it was not quite the same as what was rumored.
The Shu Wan in the legend was known as a playboy, but the Shu Wan we see today is tough and courageous, and is as capable as any man.
"Not anymore!" Shu Wan smiled faintly.
Now that she's divorced, she's no longer a lady.
The shopkeeper didn't know how to answer this for a moment, so he simply kept silent.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Keep in touch anytime!" Shu Wan took the two packed packets of medicine and stood up to leave. "By the way, how many years has the shopkeeper come to Chiyan?" She turned around and asked when she reached the door.
"Eleven years!" the shopkeeper answered truthfully.
"After you finish this job, I'll send you home!" Shu Wan gave a look and left.
"Thank you, husband... Thank you, miss!" The shopkeeper quickly bowed and thanked her from behind. Having been away from home for eleven years, the shopkeeper was naturally eager to go home. When he heard the news that he could return to his hometown, he was overjoyed!
Shu Wan was very leisurely. He visited two more pastry shops and bought several kilograms of pastries before returning home.
"How is it going? Is it done?" Yu Jianning asked impatiently without waiting for Shu Wan to sit down.
"Yeah." Shu Wan nodded, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, "Hurry up and find a candidate to take over as the manager of the pharmacy in a while!" Shu Wan felt a little dry in the mouth, and gulped down two big gulps of tea.
Hearing this, Rong Chen and Yu Jianning looked at her in confusion. Rong Chen was better and kept his composure, but Yu Jianning had a bad temper and immediately started asking in surprise.
"What's wrong? Why do you want to replace the person suddenly? Have you discovered something? Has he betrayed me? No, it's too dangerous for me now. We have to evacuate quickly, quickly, quickly, it will be too late if we are any later." Yu Jianning was full of anxiety, fearing that if they were any later, they would be wiped out.
Shu Wan looked at him with an indescribable expression. This man was injured in the abdomen, not the brain!
"What?" Yu Jianning saw that the two were still sitting still and looking at him with eyes that showed concern for the mentally retarded. He asked tentatively, "Did I guess wrong?"
"Congratulations, you got the answer right!" Shu Wan said seriously, "But unfortunately, there is no prize."
"Then why do you suddenly want to change people?" Yu Jianning didn't understand Shu Wan's behavior.
"Master Imperial Master, you can't do this!" Shu Wan ignored him and only glanced at Rong Chen and smiled, "Not letting people go home for more than ten years. If I were the shopkeeper, I might have rebelled. Really, there should be a time limit for overseas assignments!"
"The princess is right!" Rong Chen smiled, "This was indeed done inappropriately. Then let me do as the princess said, let him go back, and find someone else to take over his job!" He felt that the little girl was so kind that she could have such sympathy for someone she had only met once.
"But where can we find a suitable person right now?" Yu Jianning looked confused and still felt that this was not appropriate. Even if they wanted to change, they had to wait until they rescued Rong Chen before arranging this matter. Where could they find a trustworthy person now?
"I think you are quite suitable!" Shu Wan looked at him with a very gentle smile, but Yu Jianning felt that her smile was eerie and scary.
"Me? I can't do it!" He quickly shook his head, indicating that he was not qualified for this glorious job!
"Why not? Don't worry, young general. I won't let you stay here too long. Others have been here for eleven years, so you should stay one or two years less than them. We are friends, right? It's a friendship price, no bargaining!" Shu Wan still smiled warmly. "And, young general, remember, a man must never say that he is not capable! Do you understand?" She stretched out her index finger and shook it left and right in front of Yu Jianning.
"I..." Yu Jianning's face flushed, "Rongchen..." You take care of her! "I think you are very suitable!" Rongchen said expressionlessly. While speaking, he stood up and pulled Shu Wan away, leaving Yu Jianning alone shivering in the cold wind.
You silly girl, you don't know how to control your words.
Rong Chen thought bitterly, does she know what she is talking about? Yu Jianning looked at the backs of the two and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Oh my God, who can come and save him!
If he has to stay in Chiyan for ten or eight years, it would be better for him to die.
Unfortunately, no one seemed to hear his voice.
Rong Chen dragged Shu Wan forward, and he didn't respond several times when Shu Wan spoke.
"What's wrong?" Shu Wan shook off his hand. "I haven't offended you, why are you suddenly so upset?" She had no idea how she had offended Rong Chen.
She carefully reviewed what happened after returning from the pharmacy and felt that she had done nothing wrong.
The only possibility is that she said she wanted to keep Yu Jianning in Chiyan.
Could it be that he was angry about this matter?
Yes, Shu Wan thought about it and felt that it was understandable that Rong Chen was angry. After all, Yu Jianning was the general of the city defense army of Blackwater City. How could he just send him to do such an undercover job in Chiyan?
Moreover, Yu Jianning's father sacrificed his life for Blackwater City, but leaving Yu Jianning as his son to Chiyan to do something that could be discovered if he wasn't careful, what if his whereabouts were leaked and he was caught? Shu Wan understood that Rong Chen had reasons for his concerns, but she felt that Rong Chen was too stingy.
She was just teasing Yu Jianning like that and didn't really want him to stay in Chiyan as a spy.
Putting aside other things, everyone in Chiyan knows Yu Jianning's face. If he stays here to get information, not only Yu Jianning will be in danger, but all the forces of Blackwater City in Chiyan will be found out and wiped out.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Rong Chen became even angrier and turned away angrily.
