053 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)” is living in exile
byThe sound of gurgling water came to my ears, disturbing the sleeping woman.Yan Zhaozhao’s brain was extremely cloudy, as if a darkness was shrouding her brain. No matter how she tried to push it away, it was in vain.Her eyelids struggled and her fingertips moved slightly, as if she was trying hard to regain control of her body.
She woke up slowly and struggled to open her eyelids. When she half-squinted her eyes, she saw darkness in front of her eyes. Then she closed her eyes and slowly opened them again, and then she could vaguely see the scene in front of her.
It hurts, it hurts.
Half of Yan Zhaozhao’s body was immersed in the stream. She took a breath of cold air when she moved just a little bit. She felt pain in her body as if all the bones were broken. Even when she sat up, she felt as if every nerve in her body had been torn.
Her mind gradually became clearer, and she only remembered the last sight before she fell into coma, which was Xie Ciyan’s face full of panic.
Thank you Ciyan…Thank you Ciyan!
She no longer cared about the pain in her body and pushed herself up against the pain. Then she saw Xie Ciyan lying beside her with his eyes closed. His body was covered with bloody wounds, some of which were oozing with blood. It was shocking. He must have been stabbed by a sharp stone when he fell.She remembered very clearly that the moment she fell off the cliff, he held her tightly in his arms and turned around to let him land first.
She was still in so much pain even though she was being protected by Xie Ci, so how serious his injuries must be…
The hands that were already covered with tiny scars were shaking a little. She touched his arm very lightly, and her voice couldn’t help but soften a little, “Thank you, thank you Ci Yan…” Seeing that he didn’t move, Yan Zhaozhao felt even more panicked, and pushed him with more strength in her hands.”Thank you Ciyan, wake up…”
The name Xie Ciyan had been deeply imprinted on her heart for some time. In the past, when she called him Prince Regent, she felt that he was unattainable.Later, when he asked her to call him by his first name and thanked her, she felt uncomfortable and only wanted to call him when her love was at its strongest.
It wasn’t until this moment that she suddenly remembered that his name had been in her heart for some time. She wanted to hear every move and word he made and remember it in her heart.When the tiger chased them and fell off the cliff, her mind went blank. The person she cared about most before her death was not Bi Luo, who was closest to her, nor the mother who raised her, but Xie Ciyan.
“Zhaozhao…” Yan Zhaozhao suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the familiar voice.The man in front of him had dry lips and hoarse voice. His eyes had not yet been fully opened to see things, but the first words he spoke were still about her.
Yan Zhaozhao concealed the emotion in her heart and carefully helped him up, “You, you…” She had a lot of things to ask, but she didn’t know where to start. As soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes were filled with moisture.
After saying thank you, all the jade crowns were scattered, the black hair was all messy, and the clothes on the body were dirty and messy.But he didn’t seem to care how embarrassed he was. He slowly raised his hand and stroked the top of her slightly damp hair, “Don’t cry, I’m fine.”
Fortunately, there was a stream under the cliff, which blocked them a lot of momentum, otherwise they would probably have fulfilled the wish of the person behind the scenes and both ended up in hell.He didn’t suffer any serious injuries, most of them were traumatic injuries when he fell. There was only a slight tearing pain on the right side of his upper abdomen. He thought it was probably a broken rib.
Yan Zhaozhao helped the man up and let him put all his weight on her. But although Xie Ciyan said yes, he still kept his center of gravity and only rested on her body. It was more like a hug than a hug.
“Do you know how to get back to the hunting ground?” She wanted to go back quickly and find an imperial doctor to see Xie Ciyan’s injuries, but she didn’t think too much about it.
Xie Ciyan shook his head lightly, “We can’t go back now.”
“Why?” Yan Zhaozhao was confused. They were clearly framed. Even if they went back, the person they should be afraid of was the person who put them in such a dangerous situation.
“Do you know who wants to harm you?” He suddenly asked, and Yan Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes showed a bit of confusion, and she shook her head to express her ignorance.”Then have you ever thought about who has the ability to shoot cold arrows from hiding in the forest for hunting? And he can also deliberately put ferocious beasts that have been hungry for several days in the forest of women.”
Seeing that she still couldn’t figure out the stakes, Xie Ciyan was helpless, but he still slowly explained to her: “The person behind it can do so many things, and his power must be quite high. We don’t know who that person is yet, so it would be too risky to go back rashly. And I was injured again, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to protect you.”
Xie Ciyan has been immersed in the court all year round, and he can see many things clearly.The person who could do this series of things must have a lot of intelligence in the palace, otherwise he would not be able to let such a huge tiger into the hunting forest of the women under the emperor’s nose. That person must be in a high position, and he must have a reason to put Yan Zhaozhao to death.
He also had a guess that he had not told Yan Zhaozhao. The emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne was one of the people who could do this and wanted her dead.If Yan Zhaozhao was really the emperor and he returned like this, she would probably be accused of adultery by the emperor, deposed and sentenced to death.
Even if the person behind the scenes was not the emperor, if that person had the intention to incite speech and encourage the emperor to execute Yan Zhaozhao, how could the emperor not be willing to do so?By then, even if Yan Zhaozhao is innocent, he will be wronged by the words of these so-called ministers and will be unable to defend himself.If they want to go back, they must not be unprepared at all. At least let him recover from his injuries first, and then find a perfect reason for her to go back in glory.
His Zhao Zhao must not suffer the slightest injustice.
The two of them helped each other and walked towards the place where the smoke was rising from the kitchen not far away. This place was remote and covered with mountains and forests for hundreds of miles. The only place where the smoke came out was a simple thatched house.
Xie Ciyan was still injured and could no longer endure the pain. Without thinking, Yan Zhaozhao helped the man walk to the door of the thatched house, raised his hand and knocked on the door.The door was still somewhat rotten, and after only two gentle knocks, the door frame began to loosen, as if if she exerted more force, the dilapidated door would collapse at any time.
After a while, the door was opened, and a thin old man with white temples walked out.He was slightly hunched over, but his walking pace was very steady. Seeing the embarrassment of the people coming, he looked at their clothes and accessories, and there was a trace of unknown meaning in his lowered eyes.
“Who are you?” the old man said, his sonorous voice slightly tinny.
“Old man, we accidentally fell off the cliff, and it’s getting late. Could you please make it easier for us to stay here for one night?” Xie Ciyan spoke first, without revealing his identity in the slightest.
The old man thought for a moment, and without asking about their origins, he turned sideways and let the two of them in.”Come in.”
Although the inside of the thatched house is dilapidated, it is also very clean and does not look dirty.The old man led the two of them into a small room, and then took two pairs of clean clothes and placed them beside the bed.”Everywhere here is shabby, and there is only one empty room. You can take these two clothes and change into them. Don’t feel bad about it.”
“I am extremely grateful that the old man can give us a place to stay, and I will never despise him.” As soon as he said this, the old man glanced at him without any trace, then turned away and left the room without saying anything.
A quarter of an hour later, the old man came over again, holding a bowl of something with a pungent smell in his hand and placing it on the wooden table.”Take this and apply it, and the injuries on your body will heal quickly.” He looked at Yan Zhaozhao, “Are you his wife? Remember to apply it on the injured area for him, and leave as soon as the injury is healed.”
After he left, Yan Zhaozhao took the bowl of mashed herbs on the table and showed it to Xie Ciyan, “How is it? Is it true that it can cure injuries as he said?”
Xie Ciyan put the bowl between his breaths and took a sniff. Although he didn’t understand medicine, he had been on the battlefield for many years and had suffered countless traumas. The fighting conditions at the border were not as good as those in the palace, so he did have some knowledge of herbs for treating trauma.
The several herbs mixed in it were all used by Xie Ciyan in the border area. They are all herbs that stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, and are indeed very helpful in treating trauma.Xie Ciyan nodded to Yan Zhaozhao to indicate that there was no problem with the herbal medicine. He looked at the unsealed door and whispered in her ear in a low voice: “I’m afraid this old man is not simple.”
It wasn’t because the old man knew about herbal medicine that he thought he was not simple. There were woods all around here. He had lived here for a long time, so it was not unusual to know that there were medicinal herbs nearby. It was just that the man’s behavior was a little weird, as if he was deliberately hiding his usual habits in front of them.
Moreover, this area is completely deserted for hundreds of miles. It is quite strange for an old man to build a shed and a house here and live alone here.
Perhaps this person is not as simple as he appears.
