In the bamboo forest that stretched out as far as the eye could see, the wind blew the blue waves rolling like endless ocean waves, green and fragrant, the slender bamboo joints were like jade, after the storm they became even more green and glistening, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, there was an enchanting elegance.
The bamboo house in the middle of the forest was an emerald green color, and if one looked carefully, they would see that the bamboo outside the wall was still a living bamboo. No wonder it wasn't yellow.
"This damned lunatic. What kind of gossip did he cause? He managed to cause me to leave within a few miles for less than an hour." The smiling old lady was about to go berserk as well. She and the old man each held a person. Although it did not seem like it was strenuous, they were gradually growing more and more dissatisfied as they wandered around the bamboo forest.
The old man's expression naturally darkened. He suddenly shouted, "Crazy old man, if you don't come out now, be careful that I don't burn all your broken bamboo sticks!"
"So noisy!" So noisy! Xiao Cui, if you want to come then come, why did you bring this dead face here! After a series of noises, a white-haired old man dressed in green suddenly appeared in the previously empty bamboo forest. He had white hair and a white beard, but his face was rosy. Is this your child? "When did you have children I didn't know about?"
"Stop bullshitting, we saved these two children. Their injuries weren't light, hurry up and treat them." The old lady said.
However, the old man was not in a hurry. After looking carefully at Yun Shengyue, he smiled and said, "This child doesn't look like you at all. He's definitely not your two children. Come on in. Who let me be nice."
The green-robed old man led the way, jumping up and down like a naughty child. The old lady shook her head and smiled, indicating the deadpan old man to follow.
After the green robed old man's diagnosis, he quickly regained his consciousness. When he woke up, he didn't even look at the surrounding situation, he first noticed Yun Shengyue on the bed beside him and immediately rushed over with his weak body. He lightly touched her warm cheek and let out a sigh of relief, then turned his gaze towards her abdomen, only then did he think of raising his head to look at the three elders with different expressions.
"Where is this? Is my wife well?"
"You impolite brat, it took a long time to wake him up, but you didn't even thank me." The green robed elder curled his lips. Just like a child, he didn't think about the situation when others had just woken up.
The old lady said amiably, "My old man's surname is Jiang. He and I saved both of you in the valley, and you've been unconscious for four or five days. This white haired old man's surname is Feng, he's the one who woke you up."
"Hey hey hey, how did you introduce me? I'm the famous genius doctor in the martial arts world, 'Miracle Hand Return to Spring' Feng Zhiyuan. I'm also your senior brother, Xiao Cui, aren't you getting more and more stupid after following Jiang Wuchang?" The old man shouted as he jumped, he was not satisfied with the old lady's casual introduction.
Old man Yu, Jiang Wuwei rolled his eyes, but he didn't make a sound. Murong Yu quickly said, "Thank you seniors for saving me. Why is my wife still not awake? Is the child in her womb okay?"
When they asked this question, Jiang Wuwei and Auntie Jiang turned to look at Feng Zhiyuan. Feng Zhiyuan shook his hand and chuckled, "Her situation is a bit rare …"
"What about it? Will she be okay? " Murong Yu panicked. He would rather risk his life than let anything happen to Yun Shengyue.
Aunty Jiang nudged him with her elbow before reacting. She then looked at Yun Shengyue and said with a smile, "This lass's physique is pretty good. This child is also safe and well. If a normal person were to suffer from such a large amount of suffering and shock, they would definitely end up with a low birth. On the contrary, it seems like there's a surge of energy in her body that's helping her stabilize herself."
"So this girl and the child in her womb are fine?" Auntie Jiang asked.
Feng Zhiyuan rubbed his chest against Auntie Jiang's side and said proudly, "With your senior brother here, how could anything happen to her? I told you to stay at the bamboo garden and learn medicine, but you insisted on going fishing with that little dark face …"
"Go go!" Even after talking for decades, you still didn't mind. Since she's fine, why wouldn't she wake up? But I've also been asleep for a few days. " Seeing that her husband's expression had turned even uglier, Auntie Jiang could only pretend to have a stern face.
On the contrary, it was her body's natural reaction. The child was more or less shaken by the fall from such a high altitude, and now that she is lying down peacefully, the vitality of her body is protecting her abdomen. The child will be fine, and she will also be fine. Auntie Jiang's tone was not good. Old Man Feng pouted his lips in displeasure.
Murong Yu let out a small sigh of relief as he held Yunsheng's hand. A smile appeared on his face. This should be the blessing of the heavens, right? They were actually able to protect Yue-er and the child. It was truly a miracle that they were still able to live safely after experiencing such great danger.
"Your Majesty, you have fallen off the cliff for several days now. Someone has been looking for you. Should I notify someone to come pick you up?" Murong Yu was still immersed in the luck of barely escaping death, when Jiang Wuwei suddenly asked coldly. He didn't want to stay in Feng Zhiyuan's bamboo garden forever.
Auntie Jiang looked at him and said, "The injuries on his body have not healed yet, and the girl is not awake yet. There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?"
"Since he has woken up, we can notify someone to bring them back. The palace has a skilled imperial physician that can treat them."
"The imperial physician in the palace? You must be some mediocre doctor in the palace. Can you compare it to my miraculous rejuvenation skill? " It was just that his competitive spirit refused to allow anyone to mention other doctors in front of him, not to mention Jiang Wuchang. Back then, if it wasn't for him focusing on his medical skills and not having the time to accompany Xiao Cui out to play, would Xiao Cui have almost run into him on the river?
Murong Yu already understood that the three elders beside him were not ordinary people. He was surprised but not very surprised that Jiang Wuqian was able to expose his identity, "Yue Er still hasn't woken up, junior still wants to trouble Divine Doctor Feng. After she gets better, I'll ask senior Jiang to keep it a secret so that no one else will disturb the peace of the few seniors."
"That's right, that's right!" However, since her body is under self-protection, let her sleep until she wakes up better. Your injuries also need to be well recuperated, and with my brilliant hands, you two will definitely recover even more robust than before. " The moment Old Man Feng heard Murong Yu address him as' Godly Doctor ', he felt very satisfied and immediately became happy again.
Auntie Jiang also said, "This bamboo garden is a good place for resting. We old guys don't want to have anything to do with the royal family, so even though we saved you the second day and found out your identities, we didn't make a sound. We just wanted to wait for you to wake up and make your decision, and you guys find that one of you is not lightly injured and the other one has a big belly.
"How could a petty person like him be willing to unconditionally keep them here to recuperate?" Jiang Wuwei suddenly said again.
Feng Zhiyuan started to jump up and down when he heard this, he pointed his fat finger at Jiang Wuwei and yelled, "What are you saying, when have I, a grand and amazing doctor, ever been stingy? I, Old Feng, have saved so many people in this life, it's practically the heart of a buddha, these two children are nothing if they recuperate here!"
"That's right, not only is Senior Apprentice Brother skilled in medicine, he is also a generous person. Don't listen to Old Jiang, your bamboo forest has a Eight Trigrams Strange Formation. It's quiet and safe, these two children will definitely be better with you." Old man Feng's eyes broke into a smile. Actually, Jiang Wuchang was just purposely provoking him, so he naturally understood that the two of them were only singing together to make old man Feng willingly take in Murong Yu and Madam Feng. After all, they liked to live on the river, but the boat was too small.
"Thank you, seniors!" Murong Yu thanked him once again. Even though he hadn't looked at the bamboo garden carefully, he could still feel the refreshing bamboo fragrance and the faint tranquility.
"Since there's nothing else, let's go!" He had worked hard for the Murong and Yu duo for a few days already, and now that he had finally handed it to Feng Zhiyuan, he just wanted to quickly take his own wife and run away, continuing their carefree life on the water.
Feng Zhiyuan immediately looked at Auntie Jiang with an aggrieved expression, "Xiao Cui, you finally made a trip to the bamboo garden, there's no need to be in such a hurry to leave right? The two little guys haven't done anything yet, are you going to just ignore them?"
"Old man, let's stay here for two days. Can we wait for them to recover before leaving?" Auntie Jiang softly asked for Jiang Wuchang's opinion.
"If you are in a hurry to leave, leave by yourself, I do not have any women here, Xiao Cui still needs to help take care of this chubby girl." Old Man Feng hurriedly said.
"Then let's keep it for two more days!" After saying that, Jiang Wuchang snorted coldly and left the bamboo room without even flinging his sleeves at Feng Zhiyuan.
Aunt Jiang immediately said with a smile to Murong Yu, "Rest assured, you won't be found by most people here."
"Thank you, Senior. May I ask when my wife will wake up?" There was always something to worry about when someone didn't wake up.
This old man did not care about their status at all, and only relying on their mood and preferences, because they had been personally sent here by aunt Jiang, they received such good treatment. If it was any other person, he would not care, over the past twenty years, the old man's medical skills had improved a lot, and he had also developed quite a few medicinal herbs, but he had never treated anyone, he had never left this bamboo forest, and the daily necessities of this place were under the care of a few old servants.
Xiao Cui, go! Let's go see the peonies at the back of the house. There are already many flower buds. You can stay here until the flowers bloom. "
Old man Feng directly pulled Aunty Jiang out. Auntie Jiang smiled at Murong Yu in a comforting manner before obediently following him out.
Once they left, Murong Yu felt exhausted. He lay down next to Yun Shengyue, but he didn't hug her. Afraid that he would press down on her, he only held one of her hands tightly against his chest.
He had heard of the name Feng Zhiyuan before, and his medical skills were needless to say. He was an old man who had lived in seclusion for many years, so naturally, he had nothing to do with the outside world.
As for Jiang Wuchang and his wife, he also had some impression of them. When Jiang Wuwei was young, he seemed to have helped the court before, and that was when his grandfather had left the court for some unknown reason, staying in the West River for a long time. He had once been a gang leader, and he was very prestigious, and he had never interacted with them before, so his knowledge was not very deep, but from the situation just now, and the fact that he saved them from taking care of him in the dark, it was obvious that he did not have any ill intentions towards them.
Not only did Yue'er and him have the blessing of the heavens, they also had the help of a noble. It was a great fortune for them. Their child was also a person with a high destiny.
Outside the house, a cool breeze blew gently and the bamboo waves rustled. In front of and behind the bamboo house was a medicinal garden, and many medicinal plants could also grow beautiful flowers. Peony was one of them, and there was a long line of flowers at the back of the house.
"It must be related to the battle for the storage. The Duke of Qin has a pretty good reputation, but he was put to death. He won't even let the unborn child go. It must be dangerous for them to rest here first." Auntie Jiang said in a low voice as she walked towards Jiang Wuwei, who was standing in the medicine garden.
Jiang Wuwei's expression did not change, "This child is quite smart, he seems to be very willing to stay here, then just let them be. You can just coax the crazy old man."
If he was willing to do something, no matter how boring it was, he would do it. For example, if he was willing to lie on the ground and watch an ant move, then no one should even think of touching him, except, sometimes, to listen to Auntie Jiang. After all, Auntie Jiang was his junior sister and his favorite girl, even though she was old, her temper was still young.
Auntie Jiang smiled as she looked at Feng Zhiyuan, who was shuttling back and forth in the herb garden, and said, "He only has the temper of an old child, just let him be. He hasn't liked trouble and hasn't seen anyone else, it's his luck to be able to take in these two children."
"What luck!" It's all because of you! " Jiang Wuwei snorted coldly.
"Alright, alright. Why are you still talking about this now? Don't let the children know that you're joking."
"I've already sent people to investigate the situation in the court." Jiang Wuwei remained silent for a moment before he replied.
Auntie Jiang was a bit surprised, "Didn't you say you wouldn't care about matters of the court anymore?"
"I don't want to interfere, but the royal family bloodline is very weak. If something really serious happens, I'm afraid it will endanger the country. At that time, wouldn't the people be suffering?"
"This... "You haven't even asked about the matters of the martial arts world for a few years, and now you're still worrying about the matters of the court. We don't even have a few years left to live." Auntie Jiang obviously did not want to bother with national affairs.
"You don't have to worry, I'm just checking to see what's going on."
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui!" Old Man Feng suddenly rushed over while shouting as he held up a half-opened peony. "Look, I've finally found a peony that just bloomed. It's your favorite purple one!"
Auntie Jiang gave an awkward smile at old man Feng's treasure-offering gesture. Jiang Wuwei merely curled his lips and walked towards the other side without saying anything. I'm old, I'm old! They had no children, and when people died, it would be as they scattered as the wind. There was nothing for them to care about.
"How can this be? What the hell was going on with King Qinguang falling off the cliff? And him … Is he okay? " In a simple and unadorned courtyard, Wei Yinglan hurriedly found Ji Wuya who was in the study. Her stomach was already round, and because she was anxious, there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. After hearing the discussion of the servants in the garden, she rushed over.
Ji Wuya hurriedly helped her sit down before saying, "I only heard about it yesterday and sent people to investigate. I only told you about it when I wanted to clarify it a little."
"How could this be? I just heard that the crown prince was killed, how did something like this happen?" Wei Yinglan was still worried about Murong Chong even after hearing that he had been unconscious for several days.
"The crown prince was assassinated. The reason why Duke Qin and Duke Ming went to the Azure Dragon Mountain Cliff was because someone kidnapped the imperial concubine. It's possible that the imperial concubine and imperial concubine fell off the cliff during the conflict. Perhaps Duke Ming got sick because of the rain and was stimulated by it, and the palace is already sending people to search for Yunfei. He'll be fine."
"How can he be fine? There are so many imperial physicians in the palace, yet Xuan Yunfei is being offered as reward for returning. That must be very serious. Is he also seriously injured or poisoned? That's why he can't be treated?" For the past few months, Wei Yinglan had tried to calm herself down and stop thinking about Murong Ming, but the child in her belly kept reminding her that she was still worried when she heard that he was unconscious.
Ji Wuya comforted Wei Yinglan, "Don't worry, don't get too worked up. Duke Ming will be fine. I'll send someone to Jincheng City to get more information."
"Is he really alright?" Senior brother, you have also learned medicine. If you cannot find Yun Feifei … " Wei Yinglan looked a bit embarrassed. She knew that she shouldn't think like this. Ji Wuya was indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not want others to know his medical skills. He was even more unwilling to interact with the court.
Ji Wuya did not say anything. He knew that Wei Yinglan wanted him to use his status as a doctor to go to the palace to see how Murong Ming was doing, but he did not want to go. He could do a lot of things for Wei Yinglan, but he did not want to enter the palace.
After a moment of silence, Ji Wuya slowly said, "The court has placed a high reward on you, so look for Yunfei and other famous physicians. There are also many experts among the people, so Duke Ming will definitely get better. Lan, your body is too heavy, so don't let your imagination run wild."
"I know." Wei Yinglan's expression suddenly became lonely. She bitterly laughed and said, "I thought that it would be fine once we leave that place, but I still can't calm my mind. Am I really that useless? "I was still worried for him. Actually, there are a lot of people who took care of him, there's no need for me to worry at all."
"Don't say that, if... "If they can't find Yunfei, I can make a trip to Jincheng." Although Ji Wuya felt sad, he could not bear to see Wei Yinglan sad either.
Wei Yinglan shook her head, "No, I can't let Senior Brother do the things that you don't want to do for me. I was overthinking it, I've decided not to think about it anymore. I'm going back to my room to rest."
Ji Wuya opened his mouth but did not stop her. In the past few days, she was not happy, and he had already noticed it, it was not that he did not want to help Murong Mingxiu, but rather the crown prince and the Duke of Qin were in a series of mishaps, obviously a battle for the throne. The internal affairs were complicated, but they did not know anything, so how could they dare to interfere in the matter, and if they did not handle it well, then the peace of the Ji family might be broken.
