Chapter 11 Be good
"it is good."
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes for no reason. "Go and have fun. You can stay outside for another quarter of an hour starting today."
"Oh." Shu Shiyu said in a daze.
I always feel like he is coaxing a child.
Today the wind was calm and the sun was warm. Yu Tongchen followed her carrying a medicine box. Looking at her slightly excited back, his eyes softened.
As they passed the corner, her figure disappeared from their sight and Yu Tongchen stopped.
"Master." Chuan Bai landed beside him.
"Go ahead."
"The Western Rong attacked Cangnan Pass at night. General Ling was seriously injured and unconscious. He is in critical condition."
"Go prepare the horses, I'm going to Cangnan Pass." Yu Tongchen sighed.
"Yes."
Yu Tongchen entered the study to wake up the sleeping Yingbaizhuzi.
"Host, what's the matter?"
"What's the situation, General Ling?"
"At this point in time, he was poisoned and seriously injured, but he was able to survive. However, the residual poison remained in his body, and his health deteriorated. This is also the reason why he left after he learned that the target of the mission had died and was too sad to bear the shock."
"Host, are you going to help General Ling?"
"Ah."
"But……"
"I'll keep Ziling here, and she will be fine." Yu Tongchen sat at the desk and began to write the prescription.
"Shanglu, go call Ziling and Jiang Xi over."
"Yes."
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, you called me."
"master."
Yu Tongchen raised his eyes and glanced at them. "I'm going out for a while. I'll be back in half a month. Divine Doctor Valley must not let anyone in."
"Zi Ling, before I come back, you go check her pulse every day. Here are the new prescriptions and backup prescriptions. If she has a fever or a cold, you can give her acupuncture and medicine."
Of course, he hoped that she would be safe and sound.
Although Ziling looks silly on weekdays, he is now ready to become a master.
"Yes."
"Jiang Xi, you and Wangyou stay here. Take her to the back mountain for a walk this afternoon and bring her back in half an hour."
"Also, tell her about General Ling tomorrow."
Yu Tongchen didn't intend to hide it from her, but if he told her today, she wouldn't even be in the mood to go out and play. Let her be happy for a while.
"Yes."
After Yu Tongchen finished explaining his affairs, he went to find Shu Shiyu, who was lying on a lounge chair in the yard with her eyes closed, basking in the sun.
The morning sunlight is not hot.
Yu Tongchen squatted beside her.
Sensing someone approaching, Shu Shiyu opened his eyes.
He looked into her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I have to go on a long trip and won't be able to have lunch with you later. Ziling and Jiang Xi will take you to the back mountain, but you have to come back when the time comes."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. No need to apologize."
She was surprised that he said he would take her out to play, surprised that he would take time out to accompany her every day, and also surprised how good he was to her.
They had obviously only known each other for a short time.
Such tenderness seemed not to exist between a doctor and a patient, he seemed to be cold and indifferent. She observed that this tenderness only fell on her.
Seeing that she didn't resist, he moved closer to her step by step.
"It will probably take me half a month to come back, and I'll dine with you when I come back."
"it is good."
"Master, the horses are ready." Chuan Bai appeared not far away.
He patted her head and said, "Be good."
After she agreed, Yu Tongchen stood up and strode away with Chuan Bai.
After he left, Shu Shiyu also got up and went back to the house.
I always feel that this yard has become a little empty, although on weekdays there are not many people in this huge yard.
"Miss, why did you come back so early today?" Bai Tong was a little confused when he saw her after hanging up the clothes.
"I've been out long enough and I want to come back." Shu Shiyu took off his outer robe and coughed a few times. "Where's the purse I embroidered yesterday?"
Although the cough is not as frequent as before, it is still a stubborn disease and cannot be completely cured.
"Here." Bai Tong went to get the embroidery plate.
Shu Shiyu looked at the purse in her hand. After embroidering a few stitches, she didn't want to embroider anymore and suddenly felt a little uninterested.
"Miss, what would you like to eat for lunch?" Seeing her lying back on the bed, Bai Tong came over with a menu.
"Yam and black chicken soup. You can pick two of the others." She hugged the pillow, wrapped the blue strings she had pulled before going to bed around her hands, and casually said the name of the soup she saw on the menu yesterday.
"Ok."
Shu Shiyu was weaving tassels on the bed. After she finished, she stared at the thing in her hand for a moment, then stuffed it under the pillow.
……
Yu Tongchen galloped for five days, changing three horses on the way, and arrived at Cangnan Pass.
"Stop, who are you coming?" The alert Cangnan Pass defenders stopped the horses with their spears.
Shang Lu raised the token in his hand, and the guards let them go.
Lin Yuanji, deputy commander of the Western Army, who was pacing anxiously outside the main tent, was a little surprised when he saw Yu Tongchen coming with his men. "Who are you?"
He actually got the defenders to let him pass!
Yu Tongchen threw the thing in his hand into his arms, "Divine Doctor Valley, how is General Ling doing?"
Lin Yuanji took a look at the jade pendant in his hand and was shocked. This was the jade pendant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"General Ling's condition is not good. The military doctor said that if he doesn't wake up today, he will not survive."
Lin Yuanji placed his hope on this young man who had become famous at a young age. "Doctor Yu, were you sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Yu Tongchen didn't say anything, he just lifted the curtain of the main tent and went in.
As soon as he entered, Yu Tongchen took Ling Yao's pulse.
The military doctor on duty was about to speak when Lin Yuanji waved his hand and signaled him to retreat.
Chuan Bai put the medicine box next to Yu Tongchen and then stepped aside.
After taking Ling Yao's pulse, Yu Tongchen gave him acupuncture. The silver needle pierced into the fingertip, and black blood flowed from Ling Yao's fingertip.
He also inserted silver needles into other acupuncture points on Ling Yao's body.
While waiting for the needle to be removed, Yu Tongchen went to write a prescription. After finishing it, he handed it to Lin Yuanji and said, "Have someone boil the medicine."
"it is good."
After the needle was pulled out, Ling Yao woke up soon. He looked at the young man in front of him with outstanding appearance. After staring at him for a while, he grabbed his wrist and said excitedly, "It's you. Why are you here? Did something happen to Qingqing?"
Yu Tongchen glanced at his hand and said, "She is fine. I am here for you."
Ling Yao released his hand, sat up, and cast an inquiring gaze on him, "You came for me? Did you know something happened to me? Or did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask you to come?"
"I can see that you are not a kind person. You have paid off my favor by treating my granddaughter."
"She couldn't sleep at night. She said she was upset and suspected something might have happened to you, so I asked someone to find out."
Ling Yao became suspicious and looked at his expression.
"You...are you having any improper thoughts?"
"Yes." Yu Tongchen admitted frankly, "I do like her."
"It's only been so long. She's only been with you for about ten days, right?!" Ling Yao started coughing angrily. He pushed his own obedient granddaughter to the wolf cub with his own hands!
"Please take a break. Today is exactly the 20th." Yu Tongchen sat beside him calmly. "Although I have known her for a short time, who can say for sure about love? Once I, Yu Tongchen, set my heart on someone, it's that person. I will never let go."
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is plotting against her. You are far away at the border and cannot take care of her, but I can. I can protect her for the rest of her life. As long as I am here, I will protect her from illness and disaster."
