Shen Yun nodded firmly and then went over to help Ning Yin untie the ropes.
"Ayin, does your hand hurt? Let me massage it for you."
As he spoke, the man began to massage Ning Yin's arms, but Ning Yin dodged him.
"No need, I'll leave after I've finished reading it for your mother."
She got up and stretched her sore and numb limbs, then walked to Madam Wang's bedside. "Madam, reach out your hand."
When Wang saw that Ning Yin was really willing to treat her illness, her eyes flickered. She then looked at Shen Yun, who nodded at her. Only then did she lift up her sleeve and extend her hand.
"Thank you. It's good that you're understanding. After all, if it weren't for Yun'er, you would have already..."
"When a doctor is taking a pulse, don't interrupt. It will affect my judgment. You don't want me to misdiagnose your pulse and prescribe the wrong medicine, and then you'll die and blame me!"
Ning Yin glared at her irritably. Wang opened her mouth to retort, but met Shen Yun's gaze.
Forget it, let's get better first. Anyway, this woman will be leaving soon, so there's no need to risk my life for a moment of anger.
After taking Shen Yun's pulse, Ning Yin asked, "Do you have paper and pen?"
She didn't want to stay a moment longer; she just wanted to finish prescribing the medicine and leave as soon as possible.
Shen Yun shook his head. He couldn't even afford to eat properly, so how could he have the leisure to buy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones?
"If you don't have any, give me some charcoal and I'll write it on your clothes for you."
Shen Yun looked down at his black night clothes, which made it impossible for him to write, so he tore a piece off Shen Jia's skirt and handed it to Ning Yin.
"Use this."
As he spoke, he handed Ningyin a piece of charcoal. Ningyin quickly finished writing and handed over the hem of her skirt.
"Some of these medicinal herbs are quite precious, but none of them can be omitted. After decocting them each day, drink the decoction three times a day. After drinking it for a month, you can drink it once every other day, but you cannot stop taking the medicine."
"Have I made myself clear enough, General Shen?"
Shen Yun took the skirt, quickly went over Ning Yin's words in her mind, then nodded and looked out the window.
"I understand, but Ah Yin, it's getting late, and you're pregnant. Why don't I take you back tomorrow morning?"
"Shen Yun, don't go back on your word and make me look down on you. Is this how a grown man breaks his promises?"
Ning Yin got up and was about to walk out the door when Shen Yun blocked her way, saying worriedly, "A-Yin, look at what time it is. Besides, this place is in a remote area, and wild wolves and dogs often roam outside. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone. I told you, I will definitely send you away when it gets light. Please trust me this once."
Shen Yun's tone was somewhat humble, but he had other plans in mind. Lan Yue would come to pick him up in a carriage later that night.
By then, Ningyin will definitely be asleep. We can carry her onto the carriage and take that little-known path to leave the capital smoothly.
Lan Yue's hometown is a village on the border of the Wei Kingdom. It is sparsely populated and has a dangerous terrain, so it should be a good place to hide.
Thinking it over, Shen Yun continued to plead, "Ayin, I really don't lie to you. Look at the situation outside. Even if you go out, you might get lost in these mountains. For the sake of your belly and your child, please wait a little longer. It's only one night."
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and let Ning Yin see for herself.
The night was dark and windy, the moonlight was obscured by a few clouds, and only a small part of the road ahead could be vaguely seen. The sounds of various birds, beasts and insects filled the air.
"Shen Yun, do you promise I'll leave tomorrow?"
"Yes, I promise I will definitely get you away from here."
As he spoke, he hurriedly ran over to tidy up the bedding on the ground for Ning Yin, and then took off his coat and folded it into a pillow.
"Let's rest first. I'll keep watch outside to prevent any wild animals from appearing."
Judging by the time, it was almost 3 AM, and Ning Yin was already feeling exhausted. It was indeed unlikely that she could walk out of this wilderness on her own.
Since Shen Yun had already assured her, she would stay here for the night.
This time, Shen Yun didn't tie her up. Seeing Ning Yin lie down, he walked out of the house and closed the door behind him.
Perhaps she was truly exhausted, because Ningyin fell asleep after a while.
In her half-dreaming, half-awake state, she seemed to hear Xiao Xuan's voice.
"A-Ning, A-Ning, where are you?"
She thought it was Xiao Xuan who had come looking for her, so she hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find a familiar face suddenly appearing in the room.
That person was Lan Yue, Shen Yun's bodyguard. Lan Yue said that Xiao Xuan's men would be coming this way soon. Upon hearing this, Shen Yun hurriedly arranged for Wang Shi and Shen Jia to get into the carriage.
Turning around, he saw that Ningyin had already woken up. He instructed Lanyue, "Lanyue, go to the carriage and wait for me. I'll be out soon."
When Lan Yue saw Ning Yin, her brows furrowed. If it weren't for her, her general wouldn't have ended up in this state.
Even if the general wronged her in the past, he has now suffered so much, and those sins have long been atoned for.
Now that the general has become a wanted criminal by the imperial court, he could easily fall into the abyss and never recover.
Shen Yun had saved his life before, and Lan Yue valued Shen Yun's life more than her own.
"General, Xiao Xuan has brought several thousand men this time, all to retrieve..."
Lan Yue looked at Ning Yin, paused, and then said, "It is indeed not appropriate for us to bring her along. If we are really caught, we will lose our lives. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the old lady and the young lady. Their only hope now is you, General."
Ning Yin understood the meaning behind Lan Yue's words. It seemed that Shen Yun was still thinking of taking her with him. It appeared that everything he said last night was just to coax her.
