Chapter 23 Who are you matching?
The sun passed over the mountain, and Luo Xifeng lifted Chu Yangyang up.
At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from the corner of the mountain path.
The girl's soft boots embroidered with golden butterflies swayed with her steps.
"Brother Xifeng!"
Xiao Renyu immediately reined in her horse, her pomegranate skirt sweeping across the ground covered with cockleburs, and the carefully painted eyebrows of the distant mountains trembled in the morning mist.
Her joyful expression paused and was replaced by astonishment.
Xiao Renyu saw Chu Yangyang curled up in Luo Xifeng's arms like a docile cat, and his hand around her waist was so gentle.
"Sister Renyu..." Chu Yangyang was about to speak when she was suddenly hugged tighter.
Xiao Renyu forced a smile, "I'm so glad I finally found you. I was so worried something might have happened to you."
Chu Yangyang hurried to explain, "Something unexpected happened. I was bitten by a venomous snake and couldn't walk. That's why Lord Luo held me like this."
As she said this, she tried to break free from Luo Xifeng and get down to the ground.
Luo Xifeng didn't let go, but walked straight to the carriage and put her in. His fingertips brushed over the bloody cloth on Chu Yangyang's calf, "Did Miss Xiao bring any hemostatic cloth?"
Xiao Renyu came back to his senses and quickly took out the medicine box from the carriage. "I brought all your medicine boxes here as well."
Luo Xifeng replied coldly, "Thank you." Then he lowered his head and began to change Chu Yangyang's dressing.
Somehow, looking at Luo Xifeng's attentive expression, Xiao Renyu always felt that the atmosphere between her brother Xifeng and Chu Yangyang had changed.
Especially Luo Xifeng's gentle movements, as if he was afraid of hurting something precious.
A surge of bitterness surged in his heart. Xiao Renyu clenched his fists and looked at Chu Yangyang angrily.
She is indeed a vicious woman who says one thing and means another.
He kept saying that he wanted to match her up with Luo Xifeng, but in the end he deliberately made himself and him alone.
This woman is so insidious and cunning, she really cannot be trusted.
Chu Yangyang noticed Xiao Renyu's sudden change in expression at a glance, and he felt a hostility towards her that only a woman could feel.
Damn Luo Xifeng, he insisted on hugging her, and now there’s another misunderstanding.
Is the sweet love drama between the male and female protagonists that Chu Xin planned going to face a big hurdle so soon?
Chu Yangyang pushed Luo Xifeng's hand away and said firmly, "I can do it myself!"
"It's changed." Luo Xifeng skillfully tied the hemostatic bandage, sat coldly in the carriage, and began to rest with his eyes closed.
Chu Yangyang smiled awkwardly at Xiao Renyu. Before she could say anything, Miao Yun rushed over crying, "Princess, Princess, how are you? Is there anything wrong?"
Miao Yun looked down at Chu Yangyang's calf, then saw Luo Xifeng in the carriage, and immediately became furious. "Lord Luo, are you deliberately trying to frame the princess? Why did the princess get injured the moment I went out with you? Are you trying to retaliate against the princess?!"
Usually, Miao Yun was used to being arrogant like Chu Yangyang, so he attacked Luo Xifeng directly.
Just as Chu Yangyang was about to go up and comfort her, Xiao Renyu jumped out in dissatisfaction, "Slut, what are you talking about? It's clearly the princess who is holding Brother Xifeng back. If the princess hadn't been bitten by a snake, Brother Xifeng wouldn't have to sleep in the open and get hurt."
Xiao Renyu looked at the scars on Luo Xifeng's arm with heartache, and became even more angry with Chu Yangyang.
However, the legendary pig teammate was quite powerful. Miao Yun stood up for Chu Yangyang with her hands on her hips, unwilling to be outdone. "Miss Xiao, you are just the Prime Minister's adopted daughter. Do you really think you are the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Only our princess is the eldest daughter. Stop shouting and biting here!"
Xiao Renyu was extremely angry, his finger trembling as he pointed at Miao Yun.
Chu Yangyang held her forehead with her hand. Now, this stupid teammate had offended both of the friendly soldiers she had tried so hard to please.
"Miaoyun, I'm fine. You misunderstood Lord Luo. Please leave first."
Chu Yangyang really didn't have the energy to argue, so she pulled the angry Miao Yun behind her.
Luo Xifeng said casually at this time, "If you delay any longer, the princess won't be able to take my special antidote, and you will just have to wait to collect the princess's body."
After saying this, not only Miao Yun was shocked, but even Chu Yangyang was shocked.
"Hurry, go back home immediately!!"
Chu Yangyang shouted at the carriage outside.
——
After taking Luo Xifeng's antidote, Chu Yangyang stayed in bed for three whole days. In a daze, she saw Luo Xifeng preparing the antidote for her at the desk.
She propped herself up and sat up. "Master Luo, thank you for still making medicine so late at night."
Luo Xifeng paused for a moment while fiddling with the medicine jar, then continued stirring. "My Lady, there's no need to be polite. We each take what we need."
Chu Yangyang curled her lips and was too lazy to talk to him.
At this time, Bai Shi, Luo Xifeng's follower, came hurriedly.
"Lord Luo, the medicine record has been delivered." After saying this, he held up the brocade box in his hand.
"Put it on the table. You can leave now." Luo Xifeng stopped what he was doing and wiped his hands with a white cloth.
"Medicine record?" Chu Yangyang got out of bed, put on her shoes, and asked, "Did you get the prince's medicine record?"
Chu Yangyang instantly understood why he was able to obtain the medicine record. After all, the male protagonist was the prince's aide.
But she couldn't let him know she knew.
Sure enough, Luo Xifeng did not explain, but just said "hmm" lightly.
Luo Xifeng took the heavy medicine box.
The candles burned all night long.
He turned to the pulse case in the autumn of the 13th year of Ping Zhao, and his fingertips suddenly wrinkled the damp paper.
The prince suddenly fell ill with a panic attack on the seventh day after his biological mother, Concubine De, ascended the throne.
That is the current queen.
The prescription surprisingly contained double the amount of cinnabar, but the signature was stained with ink in the shape of half a ginkgo leaf, which was the mark used by the secret guards of Prince Jing's Palace to deliver secret letters.
Luo Xifeng's eyes flickered slightly.
Ten years ago, on the Spring Equinox, King Jing accompanied the Crown Prince on a southern tour to Jiangzhou. It was from then on that the Crown Prince began to be afraid of the cold and have frequent dreams.
He took out three prescriptions and laid them out side by side. The dosage of purple ginseng increased year by year, and the symptoms of "cold hands and feet" recorded in the prince's pulse became more and more serious.
Chu Yangyang, wrapped in fox fur, came closer, the white mist from her breath spreading over the lampshade. "Look here, there seem to be traces of modifications."
Luo Xifeng stood up suddenly, and the jade pendant hit the corner of the table with a clanging sound.
The two newly appointed chief physicians of the Imperial Medical Service were recommended by Prince Jing’s Mansion.
He had grasped the lowest level of pulse records. The handwriting of cinnabar used as medicine ten years ago was different from other handwritings written at the same time. There were clearly two different strengths. Someone had tampered with the medicine record at a later time.
Luo Xifeng frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Could it be that my father discovered the secret here and was framed?"
Chu Yangyang nodded, "That's possible. If that's true, then King Jing is the biggest suspect."
After a pause, she looked into Luo Xifeng's eyes and said seriously, "If it was Prince Jing who did it, then my father has nothing to do with it. My father has never gotten along with Prince Jing. How could Prince Jing let my father kill the Luo family? This doesn't make sense."
Luo Xifeng said nothing, but squeezed Yao Lu's joints until they turned pale...
