Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 178 Seeking Medical Treatment

On the long street, Sikong was extremely satisfied holding her hand, and passers-by were in a hurry, all praising the perfect match.

"How did you meet him?"

He was silent for a long time before he spoke. Ran Qianxi raised her head for no apparent reason, and looked at her straight with a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

"I met him at a brothel."

"You visit brothels?"

Si Kong Qian looked slightly surprised, his ebony eyes slightly stunned.

"Yes, I met him by accident, and he had planned it all along."

"So...you are in love?"

Ran Qianxi looked back in surprise, and Sikong Qian looked sad from head to toe.

"He was just a very good friend of mine."

The word "friend" once again hurt the man. He let go in anger, and his arrogant attitude appeared again.

"Yes, I am also your very good friend!"

After saying this, Si Kong Qian just walked forward without looking back. Ran Qianxi could only follow him helplessly.

"We are good friends, why are you angry..."

"Wait for me."

Ran Qianxi trotted forward, grabbed Si Kongqian's left hand with a flattering look on her face.

"You are different from him. I have never met a man as special as you."

Si Kongqian looked back half-believingly, and saw her eyes full of sincerity, which instantly touched his heart.

"Is it true?"

"Really, this is the first time I do this to a man."

After listening for a long time, he finally heard the perfunctory tone in this sentence. The two of them walked farther and farther away and disappeared into the crowd.

Nanyue Palace

What happened today was too unbelievable. The first thing Shi Huan did when he returned to the palace was to check the jade token, and sure enough, it was not in the brocade box.

"Strange, did I really give it to Xier?"

Just then, Shi Zhun walked in steadily.

"How is the arrangement of Dachang Sky Eye going?"

Shi Huan slowly turned around and brought his wandering thoughts back.

"Replying to Father, we will be able to set off for Tianzhou soon."

Shi Zhun walked a few steps toward the table and saw him staring at the empty box in a daze, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"what happened?"

"Oh, nothing, but I find it a little weird."

Shi Zhun knew that his expression was not right, so he sat beside him and patiently counselled him.

"explain."

Shi Huan explained the whole cause and effect. Shi Zhun frowned slightly and thought of the only reasonable explanation. However, he could not imagine that he gave the jade token to his beloved woman in silence in order to protect her.

"Life is full of truth and falsehood, falsehood and truth. There are some things that you don't need to be too obsessed with."

There was something else behind Shi Zhun's words, and Shi Huan felt that this was not accidental.

"Is there anything else that Father wants to do?"

"There is one thing. Penglai is a place of great beauty in Chang State. Please go and see it for me."

Shi Huan's identity is secret, making him the most suitable person to travel between the two countries and secretly explore all the information he wants to obtain.

"My son understands."

evening-

After eating the rice noodles, Ran Qianxi and the other person were about to return to the bamboo house, but they were stopped again by Prince Guang's guards on the street.

It was still unclear what had happened when Prince Guang walked out of the sedan chair with his sick body, his breathing and tone were breathless.

"Ahem, you two, sorry to bother you, ahem..."

"What else do you want to do? Don't forget who let us leave."

Ran Qianxi's tone was sonorous and powerful. She was not afraid of power, and she fascinated Shi Wen, a man who was indifferent to fame and fortune but cared about life and death.

"My prince has no ill intentions. I will go to Penglai tomorrow to seek medical treatment and medicine. I hope the Gu Saint will come with me."

Ran Qianxi glanced at the calm Si Kongqian and was about to refuse Shi Wen, but unexpectedly he agreed outright.

"can."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ran Qianxi's eyes. She looked towards Si Kongqian and moved closer tentatively.

"Why did you agree?"

Si Kongqian smiled faintly, showing a calmness that showed he was not afraid of danger.

"Even if we don't agree, he will take us there anyway, so why not suffer some physical pain?"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. I have the token, so I don't think he would dare to go."

When the token was mentioned, Si Kong Qian, who had just been in a good mood, frowned again.

"You are very dependent on this friend."

Ran Qianxi was stunned and immediately closed her lips.

"No, no, no, it's nothing. Don't worry about it. He is really just a good friend of mine."

"Huh, yeah, I'm a friend too."

Sikong Qian turned around angrily but did not leave Ran Qianxi alone. Instead, he held her hand tightly to protect her.

Shi Wen waved his right hand, and the guards immediately surrounded the two of them.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

He was obviously coughing at an abnormal frequency, but he walked forward a few steps leisurely. The arrogant aura on his body made others dare not breathe loudly.

"Where is the Gu Saint going?"

Si Kongqian was forced to stop, worried about Ran Qianxi's safety, and picked her up.

"Pack your bags."

Shi Wen smiled gently. This was the standard answer he wanted.

"Then I'll trouble the Gu Saint. Ahem... Xiao Wang will take people to the mountain to pick up the Gu Saint tomorrow."

Bamboo House

Sikong Qian is now packing his bags in front of the window. The graceful gentleman is within his reach, and Ran Qianxi is enjoying her with great relish.

"What do you have?"

"Money and Gu."

Ran Qianxi slowly walked forward, put her arms around Si Kongqian's narrow waist, and kissed his neck.

"I just need to bring the money, you don't need to pack it~"

Si Kongqian glanced back at her and instantly realized that she was lustful. He calmly turned around, took her into his arms, and kissed her passionately without saying a word.

Ran Qianxi slowly lay down on the bed, hooking her arms around his neck seductively.

"You're really smart. You get it right away."

"I dare not be unintelligent. I never know when I will become just an ordinary friend."

In Nanyue Palace, Shi Huan spent half the night reading ancient books and finally found a clue to the difficult problem.

The next day—

Ran Qianxi, Si Kongqian and Shi Wen set off in the same car, while Shi Huan only brought Xianzhu with him, so they could play the role of a civilian couple.

After traveling for several days, Shi Huan and Shi Wen arrived at Penglai Island one after another. Ran Qianxi was exhausted from sitting in the carriage.

Shi Wen: "Ahem, let's find an inn to rest for a night."

Shi Wen got out of the car first, leaving the two of them in the car, with Ran Qianxi clinging tightly to Si Kong Qian, unable to get up.

"I'm so tired, just hold me."

Sikong Qian smiled, kissed her forehead sweetly, and carried her out of the carriage.

Looking at the slightly shabby inn in front of her, Ran Qianxi couldn't help but feel a little disgusted.

"You live here?"

Shi Wen covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughed a few times, and his coughs were obviously heavier than before.

"Ahem... going out... ahem, it's not advisable to be too conspicuous."

As a member of the Nanyue royal family, you cannot easily step into the territory of Changguo and you must keep a low profile.

Ran Qianxi lay in Sikong Qian's arms, feeling bored.

"Don't you have any money? I'll lend you some."

Shi Wen turned his head to look at her, his face inadvertently full of smiles. He stared at her for a moment, and suddenly burst into a violent coughing fit.

"Cough cough cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!!"

Ran Qianxi glanced at him disapprovingly and buried her head in Sikong Qian's chest again.

"Don't get excited. Hasn't anyone ever lent you money?"

Shi Wen covered his face with a handkerchief. The guard brought him a nasal pot and he sniffed it before the pain gradually eased. However, he looked at Ran Qianxi and couldn't help laughing.

"No, I borrowed money from others, ahem..."

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows and handed over a bag of silver casually.

“Well, there is interest.”

Shi Wen looked at the bag of silver and smiled faintly. After taking it, he ordered someone to change the inn.

"another."

"Yes."

The group was repeatedly delayed due to accommodation issues, and Shi Huan had already arrived on the island with Xianzhu.
