A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 418: It turns out that the majestic prince can also shed tears

"Sister Lian Caiyi, you don't even know where Sister Siyao has gone?"

In the late afternoon, in the quiet study, Chen Lin and Cai Yi were sitting face to face at the desk practicing calligraphy, while Guo Ying, who was standing beside them, frowned and whispered.

"I didn't see Sister Si Yao during the lunch break. Could it be that she went out to see patients again?" Caiyi stopped writing, shook her head at Guoying, and asked curiously.

"In the hot summer, the pharmacy rarely arranges visits in the afternoon unless the patient is seriously ill." Guo Ying immediately rejected Caiyi's guess, and then lay on the table and continued to mutter: "Where could she go? Could she go to the back mountain? But it stands to reason that Sister Si Yao is the last person who wants to go out on such a hot day."

"Miss Yao must be busy somewhere. If you want to find her, why don't you go and ask the master directly?" Chen Lin couldn't stand Guo Ying's chattering, so he muttered to her impatiently.

"Oh, little Chenlin also shows a bad look to me?" Seeing the displeasure on Chenlin's face, Guo Ying raised her hand and pinched his childish face and laughed.

"The study room is a place for studying. If you want to play, go outside." This scene happened to be seen by Xiuming who had just entered the study room. He immediately frowned and said in a deep voice.

When the three men saw the Master, their expressions changed drastically and they sat up straight.

Xiuming was usually gentle and kind, but when he acted as a teacher in the study, he could sometimes be stern, so the other medicine boys did not dare to act too unruly in the study.

"Guo Ying!" Xiu Ming's eyes turned slightly to Guo Ying, who was lowering her head and pretending to read, and called slowly.

"Master, since I have nothing to do in the village today, I came here to find some books to read." When Guo Ying heard the master calling her name, she hurriedly picked up the book in front of her and smiled at him.

"Really? Haven't you always only read storybooks? When did you become interested in medical books?" Xiu Ming frowned slightly and continued to ask with a stern face.

"Well...Guo Ying has been in the pharmacy for a long time, and has become interested in medical knowledge..."

"Why aren't you coming out yet?" Xiu Ming naturally couldn't stand Guo Ying's lies, so without waiting for her to finish, he put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

"Something bad has happened." Seeing that she could not deceive the great doctor, Guo Ying stuck out her tongue nervously. She even forgot to put down the medical book in her hand and walked out nervously.

"Master." Guo Ying walked out of the study and bowed to Xiuming with a pitiful look.

"Just stand here and finish reading this medical book." Even though Xiuming knew that Guo Ying was pretending to look so pitiful, he couldn't bear to blame her. He just shook his head helplessly, then turned and left after giving the order.

"Ah? Master? I was wrong. Is it not okay if I was wrong?" Guo Ying was stunned when she heard it. She hurriedly acted coquettishly towards the master's receding back, but the other party was unmoved and quickly went downstairs. She had to pick up the medical book in her hand in frustration.

But when Guo Ying hurriedly turned a page and looked at it carefully, she was so scared that she almost dropped the medical book. She immediately looked up and sighed with tears in her eyes: Why did she pick up a very profound medical book? Even though she could recognize every word, they seemed like a mystery when put together. No wonder the great master punished her to finish reading the book. This lie was really too much.

Hearing Guo Ying's painful sigh in the study, Caiyi and Chenlin looked at each other and dared not say a word.

In Fu Garden of Xuancheng, although Yan Zong had not woken up after taking two doses of medicine, his complexion had obviously improved a lot. Seeing this, Mr. Fan and others felt relieved.

"Boy, are all your injuries healed?" Yu Cheng and Xiao Lu met face to face in the corridor. Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Cheng patted Xiao Lu's shoulder and asked with concern.

"Yeah, everything is fine." Xiaolu also smiled at Yu Cheng, but then he sighed with a droopy face, "My identity has been known by Sister Si Yao. The reason why she has not exposed it is that she is waiting for me to recover from my injuries and confess to Mr. Sanxiu on my own. Has the general informed His Highness of this?"

"I did say it, but His Highness didn't give any instructions at the beginning. Now that things have come to this, since you can't hide it any longer, then come back. It's not a big deal, is it necessary to sigh?" Yu Cheng nodded, trying to comfort Xiao Lu disapprovingly, but seeing that the other party still had a worried look on his face, he couldn't help but smiled curiously with his arms crossed over his chest: "You insisted on coming back before, why are you unwilling now? You can't really fall in love with that little girl and can't let her go?"

"I...I didn't...we just..." Xiaolu scratched his head guiltily and stammered when he heard that.

"Boy, are you still pretending to be stupid in front of this general?" The other party was still trying to make excuses even though he could see the truth clearly. Yu Cheng sneered and pushed him. Xiaolu was caught off guard and stumbled back two steps.

"Hey, what are you doing, you ungrateful brat? You, a general, are bullying my medicine boy. Do you have any shame?" But it was just a joke between Yu Cheng and Xiaolu, but they were seen by Sanxiu who suddenly walked out of the room from a distance. Being protective of his son, he immediately became furious and started yelling and cursing at Yu Cheng.

"Sir, you misunderstood. Xiaolu and I were just joking!" Yu Cheng was startled suddenly, but fortunately he reacted quickly and hugged Xiaolu and said with a smile.

"Yes, Master Manor, General Yu did not bully Xiaolu, we were just joking." Xiaolu also hurriedly explained with a smile to Sanxiu who was walking towards them.

"Are you kidding? When did you become so familiar with each other?" Sanxiu, who had approached, looked them up and down with a stern face and asked in confusion.

"This... the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar!" Yu Cheng laughed first.

"That's true. You, little brat, have been to my Sanxiu Pharmacy quite often. What? Are you trying to win over the medicine boy in my store?" Sanxiu glanced at Yu Cheng and snorted unhappily. Obviously, he didn't think any more about it.

"I dare not, I dare not." Yu Cheng bowed and smiled apologetically.

"We will go back tomorrow. After dinner, go outside and take a look at what delicious food there is in Xuancheng." Sanxiu ignored Yu Cheng's playful smile, but pulled Xiaolu aside and whispered to him.

"Yes, Master." Xiaolu responded with a salute.

"What did Mr. Sanxiu say to you?" After Sanxiu left, Yu Chengcai asked Xiaolu curiously.

"We have to go back to Mucheng tomorrow. You know that the owner of the manor is always fond of food, so naturally he asked me to find some delicious food in Xuancheng."

"What? Coming back tomorrow? But His Highness hasn't woken up yet?" Yu Cheng couldn't help but frowned worriedly and muttered.

"I think Your Highness is fine now, otherwise the owner of the manor would not have just left." Xiaolu comforted Yu Cheng.

"Tsk tsk, he really thinks he is a medicine boy?" Seeing Xiaolu speaking for Mr. Sanxiu, Yu Cheng couldn't help but smile with emotion.

Xiaolu shrugged and didn't answer, but he still felt mixed emotions.

"What? Mr. Sanxiu will go back tomorrow? But His Highness hasn't woken up yet?" As night fell, Mr. Fan was playing chess with Sanxiu by the window. He was surprised and worried when he suddenly heard the other party's farewell.

"Hmph, why wait for him to wake up? That kid doesn't want to see me anyway." Sanxiu snorted coldly, staring at the chessboard in front of him and muttered.

"Sir, that's not true. You should know His Highness's personality. Even though he doesn't say it, he really respects you from the bottom of his heart." Mr. Fan explained quickly with a smile.

"Respect?" Sanxiu sneered, then waved his hand and said, "Oh, stop interrupting me. I forgot which step to take again."

Mr. Fan smiled helplessly. He was the one who started the conversation, so how could it be considered someone else's interruption? Was he going to cheat again?

It was late at night when the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside Fu Garden. Xin Nu and Si Yao jumped off their horses one after another. Because of Xin Nu's identity as a secret guard, the two of them went straight to the prince's bedroom without any obstruction.

"Who is it?" Yu Cheng, who was resting with his eyes closed outside Prince Zong's bedroom, became alert when he heard the footsteps.

"It's us." Xin Nu hurried forward and hushed at him.

"General Yu Cheng." At this time, Si Yao also appeared from behind Xin Nu and saluted slightly towards Yu Cheng.

"Miss Si Yao?" Yu Cheng was surprised to see Si Yao. He was overjoyed. He half opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"How is the prince?" Si Yao was extremely anxious at the moment and did not explain further, but continued to ask.

"Your Highness is fine, please come in, young lady!" Yu Cheng finally reacted and hurriedly opened the door and led Si Yao in.

After lighting the candles in the room, Yu Cheng quietly retreated again. He was still very happy for His Highness in his heart. After waiting for a long time, the clouds finally cleared and the moon appeared. His Highness's deep affection was finally responded to by Miss Si Yao.

After hesitating for a moment, Si Yao quickly walked to the bed in the inner room and took Yan Zong's pulse. Seeing that his pulse was normal but weak, she carefully examined his complexion and found no signs of poisoning. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Si Yao?" Just as Si Yao put down Yan Zong's left hand, he suddenly woke up in a daze, immediately grabbed her hand in surprise, and called weakly.

"It's me." Si Yao nodded and responded.

Although her face was calm and expressionless, her heart was beating like a deer.

"This must be a dream. How could you appear here?" Yan Zong looked at Si Yao in front of him with hazy eyes, but his ecstatic heart gradually cooled down, and he smiled bitterly.

Si Yao said nothing, but raised her hand and pinched his earlobe hard. Yan Zong frowned in pain, and then he reacted and grabbed Si Yao's hand in ecstasy and smiled: "Si Yao, it's really you!"

"I'm glad you're okay." Si Yao opened her red lips slightly, but ultimately failed to say what was in her heart. After a moment of silence, she still spoke calmly.

Although Si Yao was still indifferent to him as usual, Yan Zong was already satisfied that she could come to see him. He was so happy that his eyes were unconsciously covered with a layer of mist.

"Siyao...Siyao..."

But he was still too weak. Even though he had so many things to say to her, he didn't have the strength to speak them out even though his thin lips were slightly opened. He only murmured her name twice before falling asleep again. As his eyes closed, a tear slid down the corner of his eye.

"It turns out that the majestic prince can also shed tears." Si Yao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled gently.
