Chapter 908: The Unlearned Young Master 9
"Master, the medicine is ready."
In a villa in the capital, a servant brought a bowl of boiled medicine to Yuchi Hong.
Yuchi Hong didn't even look at it, as if he didn't feel the bitterness of the medicine. He drank it with an expressionless face.
"Master, why don't you go back and let the imperial physician treat you?" The attendant suggested, looking at Yuchi Hong's pale and frail appearance: "After all, this is Lang State. It's not easy to find a doctor with better medical skills. Don't delay the treatment any longer."
"It doesn't matter."
There was a layer of frost in Yuchi Hong's deep and cold eyes. He suddenly fell ill on the second day after kidnapping Master Jingci.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never been favored by his father. For a person who is disliked by the emperor, it is very difficult to survive in the palace even as a prince.
What's more, he had lived in the cold palace for several years, which made him even stronger. So his current illness was definitely not an accident, but someone's deliberate act.
But apart from the attendants around him, the only person he came into contact with was Master Jingci.
Master Jingci.
He was preaching the Dharma and had a heart of a bodhisattva, but he was still a vindictive villain and actually drugged him in secret.
"What's the situation at Luming Temple?" asked Yuchi Hong.
"Ever since Master Jingci returned, the Emperor has sent over a dozen guards to closely guard his safety. Besides these, there should be secret guards as well, but they've been lurking in the shadows. I don't know exactly how many there are."
Yuchi Hong nodded, it seemed that he could give up on Master Jingci's path.
But apart from Master Jingci, what else can we do to obtain the cold-avoiding rhinoceros?
Before leaving Yue State, Yuchi Hong made a promise that if he could not get the cold-avoiding rhinoceros, he would never return to Yue State in his lifetime.
There are so many people in Yue State waiting to laugh at him, he absolutely cannot go back at this time.
However, what Yuchi Hong did not expect was that just three days later, the young monk from Luming Temple sent a letter.
Looking at the handwriting on the letter, it was actually written by Master Jingci himself.
Along with the letter came a bottle of pills.
Master Jingci said in the letter that this pill has the same function as the cold-repelling rhinoceros pill in dispelling cold and protecting the body, but it is made of herbs and is not as effective as the cold-repelling rhinoceros pill.
Master Jingci also told him to take the pills and leave Langguo as soon as possible so as not to provoke a conflict between the two countries. If disputes arise again, fighting on the battlefield will lead to death, which is a scene that no one wants to see.
"Master, what does Master Jingci mean?"
Judging from the letter and the pills, Master Jingci is determined to calm the situation and does not want to cause any more trouble.
But since he was so kind-hearted, why did he still drug Yuchi Hong?
"If you want to know what he means, just go and see."
"But there are guards from the Imperial Guards at Luming Temple, I'm afraid..." The attendant was a little worried.
Yuchi Hong turned his head to look at the mirror beside him. The man in the mirror had a pale face and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he was about to die.
Master Jingci is kind-hearted and often treats the people. As a patient who comes to him for help, what can the Royal Guards do?
Yun Yi doesn't know yet, but Yuchi Hong insists that it was Master Jingci who drugged him.
The medicine he gave Yuchi Hong was not enough to kill him, but it would definitely not make him feel good.
The original owner was tied to a flagpole and exposed to the sun, which was a long and torturous process.

"We've arrived in Lingzhou."
Yun Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the street scenery. It had been four or five years since she last returned to Lingzhou.
The street scenes are both familiar and unfamiliar.
The carriage moved forward slowly and finally stopped in front of a house.
The house is quaint and looks a bit old. Although there are people living here to guard the house, it lacks popularity.
The current state of the house was the result of Yun Yi sending people on horseback to clean it and rearrange the furnishings in advance.
"Sister, you take a rest first. We will go boating on the lake later. I heard that Lingshan Lake is especially beautiful at night." Yun Yi and Yun Zhi said after settling down.
"Didn't you promise your parents that you would study hard when you came to Lingzhou?" Yun Zhi's pretty face showed a serious look.
Yun Yi blinked and chuckled twice, "I want to study seriously. I heard that there are many scholars and scholars writing poems and appreciating literature on Lingshan Lake, so I wanted to go and see them."
Literati? Writing poetry and appreciating literature?
Yunzhi didn't believe that those people went boating on the lake just to study?
Only by turning a deaf ear to what's happening outside the window can you concentrate on reading a book. When a group of people get together, what else can they do except playing?
Seeing Yun Zhi's insistence, Yun Yi continued to persuade her, "Good sister, I will only go this once. I promise to start studying seriously tomorrow morning."
"Sister, sister, even if you need to study, it doesn't cost you a night. We've been traveling for so long, can't you just relax tonight?"
Yun Zhi was really pushed to the point of being pestered by Yun Yi, so she could only agree, "Okay then, after tonight, you will study seriously with those teachers tomorrow."
"Of course, of course. I'll listen to you, sister." Yun Yi nodded hurriedly.
Later, Yun Yi forcibly dragged Yun Zhi, who was reluctant to go out, to the lakeside and boarded the boat that had been rented in advance.
"Sister, have some tea, and these fruits and snacks are all Lingzhou specialties. I bought them especially for you."
Yun Zhi raised her eyes and her gaze fell on the somewhat 'diligent' Yun Yi.
"What do you want to do? Tell me first, don't expect me to help you do something bad without telling your parents."
"Oh, sister, how could you miss me so much? I saw that you were in a bad mood these days, so I came here to comfort you." Yun Yi pretended to be sad, "But I didn't expect that you would miss me so much. I am really too sad."
Sad?
Yunzhi didn't notice it, she just saw a brother who was playing tricks on her.
"Okay, I know you care about me."
Yun Zhi smiled and personally picked up the teapot to pour a cup for Yun Yi. "I apologize to you."
"That's more like it." Yun Yi snorted and turned to look at the scenery by the lake.
Thousands of houses were lit up, and lanterns were hung in front of the shops. Even before curfew, the bustle of people coming and going was as lively as during the day.
Occasionally, other boats would pass by our boat, and the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras from the boats would drift over from time to time, which was very pleasant to the ears.
"Sister, actually, before leaving Beijing, I had already told mother about Jiang Zixiao's situation."
"What?" Yun Zhi was shocked when she heard that.
"Mother said she would find a way to cancel your engagement, so for the time being, just stay in Lingzhou and don't worry too much."
"Jiang Zixiao has let you down in this matter. Don't feel any psychological burden about breaking off the engagement. Let's go back together after my exam in February next year. By then, everything will be settled."
Is the dust settled?
Yun Zhi sighed slowly.
She has been depressed these days because this matter has been weighing on her mind.
I don’t know whether what Jiang Zixiao said is true, I don’t know whether I should break off the engagement with him, and I don’t know how to tell my parents about breaking off the engagement.
I hope everything will be settled by the time she returns to the capital.
