Li Sha went outside to inquire about the situation, the three of us sat facing each other, Yu Ning rested her chin in her hand, and said nothing. I sighed and said to her: "I know you don't want to go back to the palace, but right now the only way is to send you back to the palace. The He family is very powerful in Cangdu. If they catch you, they will use you to deal with you If your father provokes a war, the entire Nanyang City will fall into chaos."
"If Cangdu wants to attack Nanyang, then the war is only a matter of time. If I return to the palace, my father will let me marry to Cangdu. At that time, the war will be temporarily avoided. Will I have a good life in Cangdu? No matter how careful I am, the days will be long, if they are willing to charge me with a crime, won’t they have an excuse to attack Nanyang? I just want to stay with my brother, and I will follow you wherever you go. It’s so difficult Is it?" Yu Ning's eyes were almost pleading.
"We want to find Mu Jing to treat Wen Yi's illness, why do we take you?" Liang Yi asked after looking up at her after being silent for a long time.
Yu Ning was silent when she heard the words, Liang Yi looked at her and said again: "You can't always think about yourself." After the words fell, the atmosphere became more dignified. After a long time, Yu Ning's eyes were full of tears, and she nodded slightly , Said to us: "Okay, I'll go back."
I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with the back of my hand and sat silently. At this time, Lisha came back and told us that Matchmaker Wang was killed at home.
I stood by the window, Yu Ning was packing my luggage behind me, I leaned on the window sill and looked down, the street was very lively. At this time, the sound of firecrackers sounded from the restaurant opposite, I followed the sound, and saw He Yun standing in front of the opposite window, looking at me with a slight smile. I was startled and hurriedly closed the window. I leaned against the window, my heart was pounding. After a while, I turned my head quickly and saw Yu Ning squatting beside the bed, arranging her clothes. If I looked from the opposite side, I probably wouldn't be able to see her. Even so, I still felt hot and clammy in my palms and nervous inside.
I quietly looked at Yu Ning's back, I don't know how long it took, I left her a sentence "I'll go to the next door to find Liang Yi", opened the door and walked out.
I walked out of the inn and raised my head. He was no longer seen by the window on the second floor of the restaurant. Seeing this, I went straight into the opposite restaurant and went up to the second floor. He Yun was pouring wine for himself, he was not surprised when he saw me, he just smiled and said: "Miss Wen, would you like a drink?"
I went to sit opposite him, took the wine he handed over, and asked, "Why are you here?"
He took a sip of his wine and asked me back, "Then what about you, why did you come to Yun County?"
"I asked you first, and I will answer you after you answer me."
"I came to Yun County to find someone."
"Who are you looking for? I've been here for a while, maybe I can help you."
"That's the second question."
"I... I'm here to find someone too."
"Really, who are you looking for?"
"Mu Jing, have you heard of this man?"
He frowned when he heard the words, and asked suspiciously: "The name sounds familiar, who is it?"
I was a little surprised. I used this as an excuse. I didn't expect He Yun to respond to the name Mu Jing. Although I wanted to continue asking, I still calmly said to him: "It's your turn to answer me."
"I want to find a local matchmaker, surnamed Wang, and I want to ask her for the things my father entrusted to her." After he finished speaking, he greeted Xiaoer and served another pot of wine. I looked at his expressionless face and sneered in my heart. With a sound.
Matchmaker Wang was already dead, but he told me that he was looking for her, presumably he had already found someone, and killed her to silence her. When He Wu handed her over to Wang Matchmaker, her death was destined to be after the He family used her up, but she watched us take Yu Ning away with her own eyes, even though she didn't know who we were, But if she described our appearance and characteristics to He Yun, then my actions now would be a trap for me.
But even if I don't come to see him, our identities have been exposed. And He Yun's reaction now is really hard to figure out, why he told me so honestly that the person he is looking for is related to his father, and he inexplicably gave me a feeling that he would never hurt me.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, looked at me and asked, "What are you thinking about?" Before I could answer, he asked again, "What do you want to do with Mu Jing?"
I was silent for a while, and then said: "I'm sick, only she can save me."
"So she is a doctor, what disease can only be cured by her?"
"Tomorrow, I will leave Yun County with my elder brother and go back to Cangdu City." I looked at him and said word by word. I said this to test his reaction, and I changed the time and place of my departure.
He looked out the window, nodded as if nothing had happened, and said, "Well, I'm going back soon."
I couldn't figure out his reaction, I shrugged my shoulders and said to him: "I feel a little cold, drink slowly, I'm leaving first." I was about to get up when I said that, but he called He stopped me, took off his robe and put it on me, and said softly: "It's autumn, you really don't wear much."
Subconsciously, I quickly took off my clothes and said to him, "I'll just go back and wear it." Seeing this, he got up again, "I'll take you back."
"No, no, no." I waved my hand quickly. Seeing this, he sat down and said, "If you don't want me to take you back, then you can stay here for a while."
I had no choice but to stay, and was forced to drink a few glasses of wine, and I suddenly felt a splitting headache. The sky was getting a bit gray, I propped my head and looked out the window, a gust of cold wind blew over, I suddenly had a premonition, my head became more and more painful, my nails sank deep into my scalp, I heard He Yun asking, "What's wrong with you?" , I bent down, and the whole person fell off the stool.
He Yun helped me up, stared at me closely, let go of my clenched fist, and then said in a surprised tone: "You've got a Gu!"
I pushed his shoulder feebly, and said angrily, "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine in a while."
But he held my hand tightly, and kept asking in my ear: "Who hurt you?" His hands were scratching his scalp heavily, even bleeding.
He Yun was holding my other hand all the time, and my nails scratched out bloodstains on the back of his hand. He wrapped his arms around my back and stood by my side without saying a word.
I don't know when I lost consciousness. When I woke up, it was already dark. I thought that Li Sha and the others must be very worried, so I lifted the quilt and planned to get up and leave.
"Does it still hurt?" Suddenly, a voice rang out, and I realized that He Yun was standing by the window, and he had turned around at this moment, looking at me motionless.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," I replied truthfully, and then I added, "It's time for me to go back."
Under the faint candlelight, he nodded slightly, and then said to me solemnly: "I will help you find Mu Jing's whereabouts, I hope you can recover...you go, Wen Yi."
I looked at him in a daze, then thanked him and left in a hurry.
When I returned to the inn, Yu Ning was crying alone, and when she saw me, she hurried over and took my hand, crying and asking, "Wen Yi, where did you go?"
There was a carriage parked alone at the door, and Li Sha and Liang also disappeared. I looked at Yu Ning and said, "I'll go out and look for them."
"Don't." She quickly pulled me back and said with tears in her eyes, "What if you are in danger again when you go out? They will come back and take a look if they can't find you. Just wait a little longer."
I listened to what she said, and stood at the door with her to wait. At this time, there were still people eating in twos and threes in the inn. After a long time, I saw two familiar figures appearing in the night.
We got in the carriage that night and drove on the road. When we left, I looked up at the second floor of the tavern. Under the dark night, the tavern was still full of people and bustling.
Yu Ning and I fell asleep leaning against each other on the bumpy car. I didn't sleep well. The carriage stopped when it was daylight. We filled our stomachs at the passing inn, and continued on our way after a short rest.
We didn't arrive in Nanyang until the evening of the second day. After the carriage stopped, I couldn't help rushing outside and vomited. Now my health is getting worse. Before, I just felt uncomfortable and couldn't vomit.
Yu Ning came behind me at some point, she lightly patted my back, sniffed and said, "Wen Yi, I'm going back to the palace tonight, you don't have to worry about me anymore, go find that person quickly."
We watched Yu Ning being escorted slowly into the imperial city, she didn't look back at us all the way, but I knew she did so because she was too reluctant. At least she can be safe for a while in the palace, as for later... I glanced at Liang Yi who was standing beside me, his eyes followed Yu Ning's figure, the setting sun shone on his face, his eyes were indifferent but long.
