Chapter 23: Useless
"Zhao Lian'er, although I really want to kill you, now is not the time to act rashly. You take care of Chen Ming'an, and I'll look after Ali. It's the best of both worlds. If you want to play tricks, I don't mind. After killing you, I will be responsible for both of us." Zhu Huaizhen raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears. His originally crisp and soft voice became a little cold.
"Really, it was my mother who harmed Concubine Xue, and she got her retribution. We are both orphans without our mothers now, so why should we be so aggressive?" Zhao Lian'er cried like a pear blossom in the rain.
After he finished speaking, Chen Ming'an spat out a mouthful of blood for some unknown reason. He could no longer protect Zhao Lian'er and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Huaizhen gently put Lou Li down and took Chen Ming'an's pulse, frowning.
Chen Mingan's breath was weak and his life was hanging by a thread.
From this, it seems that he truly loves Zhao Lian'er and is willing to sacrifice his life for her.
"Zhao Lian'er, Chen Ming'an is about to die. Should you go find a doctor or should I go find a doctor?" Zhu Huaizhen asked.
Zhao Lian'er bit her lip, thought for a moment, and then said weakly, "I'll go."
"Princess Xincheng, Prince Chen jumped off a cliff for you, but you want to abandon him. Don't you think that if you go to find a doctor, I can tie up Zhen'er and kill Chen Ming'an at any time." Lou Li smiled lightly, his eyes cold.
"You won't." Zhao Lian'er squatted down, took out a turquoise snuff bottle from her waist, and placed it on Chen Ming'an's chest.
Zhu Huaizhen took a light sniff and identified it as the soul-soothing incense.
The main ingredients of soul-soothing incense are agarwood, benzoin, frankincense, angelica root, fennel, and honey. First, clean the agarwood and, while still damp, pound it in a stone mortar with the benzoin until it is coarsely granulated. Add the frankincense and pound it into a fine powder. Next, soak the angelica root and fennel in light salt water for three incense sticks, remove them, dry them, and grind them into a fine powder. Next, grind the two incense powders further until they are even finer. There are two ways to use this incense: one is to mold it into seal incense and burn it before bed to promote sleep. The other is to add an appropriate amount of honey to the final incense powder and make incense pills, about the size of mung beans. Then, use the frying method to force out the aroma. Use the remaining ash to make small pills, which can be taken with water before bed to soothe the mind and aid digestion.
Chen Mingan sniffed the soul-soothing incense and fell asleep peacefully. There was no need to worry, as it could protect his heart meridians.
"Brother Ming'an, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself." Zhao Lian'er kissed Chen Ming'an's forehead lightly and turned to leave.
"Guess if she will come back." Lou Li was not seriously injured because Zhu Huaizhen did not kill him.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen didn't want to pay any attention to Lou Li.
She picked up some dry wood nearby and built a fire.
Although the movements were a bit clumsy, I finally figured out how to make a fire.
"Zhen'er, I never thought that you could survive in the wild even though you never had to do housework before." Lou Li was just making small talk and put on a playful smile.
Unfortunately, his smile was not bright at all, but rather revealed a gloomy air.
Like a leech growing in a gutter suddenly seeing the sunlight.
Of course, Lou Li was the most beautiful leech she had ever seen.
About an hour later, Zhu Huaizhen's stomach was growling with hunger, and Zhao Lian'er actually came back.
To be honest, Zhu Huaizhen thought that Zhao Lian'er was going to run for her life because Chen Ming'an could no longer protect her.
"Zhenzhen, I'm useless. I found a hermit who is a miracle doctor in this area within a radius of ten miles, but I couldn't ask her to come." Zhao Lian'er burst into tears again.
