Chapter 54 Youth
After hearing him ask this, Luo Jin continued to make it up, "I had it miserable when I was little. Especially miserable... As for how miserable,..."
She couldn't come up with anything for a while.
Feng Lingruo said, "She was sold to the arena when she was young. She fought with wild beasts every day and could be bitten to death if she wasn't careful. I passed by the arena and took a fancy to her at first sight. I felt she was the one I was looking for, so I bought her and brought her back to the palace and treated her like a sister."
"I taught her martial arts, but she was lazy and didn't learn well. I didn't mind. Anyway, even if she didn't know anything, I could support her."
"But she felt that she was useless and felt she did me wrong. She wanted to do something for me. I was joking and told her to kill Shui Yingchen and help me unify Jiuyuan... She did it. What I didn't expect was that she actually did it! She..."
Si Tuan continued to write, "Now there is still a little problem, that is, you..."
He looked at Luo Jin, puzzled, "How did you make the emperor fall in love with you? Obviously you... can't be considered a peerless beauty, Shouldn't the emperor have high standards? "
Luo Jin: "..."
She was about to say something when Shui Yingchen, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke out, "I like her like this. Is that not okay?"
Luo Jin was stunned and looked up at Shui Yingchen.
His dark gray eyes were still as misty as before, but they were as clear as lake water when he looked down at her for a second.
Si Tuan asked again: "What's the situation now? You still love the emperor, right?"
Luo Jin nodded quickly, "Of course, I love the Emperor."
"How to prove it?" Si Tuan looked at Luo Jin, "Only verbally?"
Luo Jin sighed, "Prove it, right?"
She stood on tiptoe, but found that the height difference between her and Shui Yingchen was too great. Out of impulse, she hooked her finger, "Bend down!"
Shui Yingchen obediently bent down.
The next second, Luo Jin pecked Shui Yingchen's face gently, smiled, and turned back, "This is the proof!"
Shui Yingchen was stunned for a long time, stared at Luo Jin, lowered his eyes, and was stunned for a while. A smile like spring waves slowly appeared on his lips.
Si Tuan finally clapped his hands, "Wonderful story, I am bursting with inspiration now... Wait for me, I will write it down and go to do treatment with you."
He ran back to the house and closed the door.
He stayed in the house for a few hours. When he came out, he went to the back room happily, fiddled with the Blue Swallow for a long time, and finally took out a bottle of medicine, "Emperor's medicine, apply it to the wound twice a day. It will be able to cure the Blue Swallow's poison in seven days."
He returned the Blue Swallow to Luo Jin and gave her a bottle of medicine, "This is the same antidote. If you accidentally hurt someone with the Blue Swallow in the future, you can use this medicine to cure it."
Luo Jin: "Thank you."
He was pretty considerate and actually thought about her problem of hurting people in the future.
After preparing the medicine, Si Tuan followed Feng Lingruo to check on her younger brother. Before leaving, Feng Lingruo stuffed a token from her waist to Luo Jin, "Take this. With this token, you can travel freely throughout Yeyuan Country. You can send people at the post station at will, which is more convenient than hiring a driver yourself."
Luo Jin was surprised, "Really... giving it to me?"
This gift was too expensive. She didn't have anything to give as a return gift.
Unconcerned, Feng Lingruo smiled, "Come to Yeyuan again when you have time. In fact, we have many fun places in Yeyuan. If you have time, I will take you around."
Si Tuan followed Feng Lingruo and came back a few hours later. He even treated the cat that Shui Yingchen picked up. He applied medicine to the kitten's legs and tied them tightly with a cloth bandage, saying that it would return to normal after one or two months of care.
Si Tuan said, "I will go with you to Dongyuan now. The sooner we go, the sooner I will return... By the way, what's the situation in Dongyuan?"
Luo Jin told Si Tuan about the dwarf slaves in Dongyuan.
Si Tuan was silent for a while, "This is too vicious. How can they be so evil? I have never seen such symptoms. Let's think about it while moving."
Luo Jin made a sound of agreement and called the carriage, "Then please get in the carriage and go to Dongyuan with me."
She turned to Shui Yingchen, "The emperor's injury has been the cure, so Mr. Situ’s help isn't needed. This is goodbye then. We need to hurry back to Dongyuan to save people."
In silence, Shui Yingchen walked to the front of the carriage with his cat in his arms, and got on the carriage. Since his legs were long, he could reach the carriage with a slight lift.
He got onto the carriage and said in a muffled voice: "I'll send you to the border of Dongyuan."
Luo Jin slightly paused, "To go to Jiyuan, you should go west..."
"You are in a hurry to return to Dongyuan, so you must go through Hanyuan," Shui Yingchen glanced at her, "Hanyuan has a watchout for you, I will protect you to Dongyuan, so that you won't be caught on the way and cause Mr. Situ to lose his life with you."
Si Tuan said: "Hanyuan is watching out for Miss Luo? Is it because of the Red Emperor Gu?"
Luo Jin was surprised, "You know that the Red Emperor Gu is on me?"
"En." Si Tuan nodded, "If you don't have this ability, how can it be worth the journey of thousands of miles?"
Luo Jin glanced at Shui Yingchen and asked: "Can it be taken out? Actually… I don't want this thing. It doesn't have much use for me. On the contrary, it is too eye-catching and yearned for by all parties."
"It can't be taken out," Si Tuan said, "This thing is beneficial and harmless. It can help you practice martial arts, prolong your life, and be immune to all diseases. It is good to keep it. It is connected to your soul. If your soul isn’t destroyed, it will not leave you."
He glanced at Shui Yingchen, "Don't you have the Emperor to protect you? He loves you so much, he will definitely protect you. What is there to be afraid of?"
Luo Jin: "..."
Can she say that Shui Yingchen was the first person who wanted to kill her for the Red Emperor Gu?
The fifteen-year-old Emperor was still quite likable now, but he will recover his memory sooner or later, right?
Maybe he will be an enemy again at that time. After traveling for a few days, they arrived at Hanyuan Country. Back in Hanyuan Country, the wanted posters became more exaggerated, and were posted all over the streets. It seemed that the Empress Dowager Su had made up her mind to dig three feet underground to find Luo Jin. Si Tuan sighed, "She wants the Red Emperor Gu..."
The streets of Hanyuan were full of armored guards. The number was a bit exaggerated. Shui Yingchen silently observed for a while, "Hanyuan increasing its troops isn’t a good sign. Does that woman want to unify the Jiuyuan Continent?"
Luo Jin said, "Even if she recruited all the people in the country, it wouldn't be enough to unify the Jiuyuan Continent, right? She can't even beat Jiyuan Country alone."
Shui Yingchen nodded, "That's right."
Si Tuan, a doctor, of course, wouldn't consider such a problem.
He only took a glance and retracted his gaze, saying, "It's strange. I slept well these days. And it was actually in the carriage... I had brought sleeping pills, but didn't need to use them."
Shui Yingchen looked at Luo Jin, "Is it the ability of the Red Emperor Gu?"
Luo Jin was a little panicked. Would he set his eye on the Red Emperor Gu again?
Si Tuan shook his head, "The Red Emperor Gu is a restless creature, which can affect people's sleep. Not aid the sleep. Miss Luo, has your sleep become worse since you got the Red Emperor Gu?"
Luo Jin was slightly stunned and pondered for a long time, "It seemed so..."
Sleep was indeed not as good as before, but it wasn't so bad that she couldn't sleep.
Was the Red Emperor Gu not a sleep aid?
Could it be that Si Tuan deliberately lied to Shui Yingchen to help her cover up? But thinking carefully, it was unlikely. In Si Tuan's eyes, she and Shui Yingchen were currently in a relationship. He didn't know that Shui Yingchen may hurt her.
Out of the blue, the carriage shook violently. Caught off guard, Luo Jin’s body moved forward and almost flew out. Shui Yingchen gently grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
The carriage stopped immediately.
"What happened?" Luo Jin lifted the curtain of the carriage. The scene in front of her stunned her.
There were at least hundreds of armored Hanyuan guards surrounding them, led by a woman in a pink cotton robe. The driver crouched beside the wheel with his lowered head in his arms and not daring to move.
The woman chuckled, "It seemed that I have done a great deed today, Miss Luo, get off the carriage and follow me to see the Empress Dowager. She had repeatedly reminded that you mustn't die on the road."
Luo Jin hurriedly replied, "You recognized the wrong person, I am a passing merchant."
The woman smiled, "The Red Emperor Gu was the king of all insects. Wherever it goes, all insects can sense it. I only need to arrange the mother and child Gu along the roads and I can sense where the Red Emperor Gu had gone. No matter how you disguise yourself, I can recognize you!"
She glanced at the driver on the ground, "You have nothing to do here. Scram!"
The driver turned around and ran away as if he had been pardoned. He was hired by Luo Jin, so he had no relationship with her. Of course he wouldn't risk his life for her.
Shui Yingchen suddenly asked, "Can you drive?"
Luo Jin shook her head, "No."
Shui Yingchen pointed at the woman outside the carriage, "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about her."
Seeing that his expression was normal and not panicked at all, Luo Jin felt much more at ease.
She lifted the curtain and asked the woman, "What's your name?"
"General Bai Mei!" The woman was quite proud, "This general has no patience. Come back to the palace with this general to avoid physical pain."
Luo Jin smiled, "Bai Mei, right? Since you drove our driver away, please drive the carriage yourself and send us back to Dongyuan?"
Bai Mei laughed, "What? Are you crazy? Let this general drive you and send you back to Dongyuan... What are you daydreaming about!"
Luo Jin continued to laugh, "But this is an imperial decree!"
Bai Mei was stunned for a moment, "Imperial decree? Our Majesty will not issue such an imperial decree..."
She looked at Shui Yingchen sitting in the carriage and her heart suddenly tightened, "You ..."
Luo Jin nodded and leisurely responded: "Yes, it is the imperial decree of the Emperor. Disobeying the order... is a capital crime!"
"No... Impossible!" Bai Mei was anxious, "How can the Emperor of Jiyuan appear here? He..."
One of her subordinates whispered, "Didn't the Empress Dowager say... that she met the Emperor in Dongyuan?"
Bai Mei's face changed, "You really ar..."
Shui Yingchen stated in a low voice: "Come and drive the carriage, otherwise... it's a capital crime!"
Bai Mei hesitated. She looked at the hundreds of guards behind her. Feeling confident in her heart, she sneered: "Even if it’s the Emperor, he can't issue an imperial decree in other countries? This is Hanyuan, not your Jiyuan!"
Before she finished speaking, she screamed "Ah" and touched her face.
There was a splash of bright red blood on her hand. The blood that kept dripping dyed the white fur collar around her neck red.
