Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 175 Who Holds Me Last Night?
"My lord, Niannian is back from picking fruit." Wu Niannian walked over with a cloth bag in her arms. When she saw Baili Jiuge, the wild fruit in her hand fell to the ground.

She was startled, "Shizi... concubine?"

Baili Jiuge was also a little surprised, only then did he realize that he hadn't asked Yin Haochen why he appeared here just now, was he traveling in the clouds?Still have something to go to Luoyi?Why did Wu Niannian come with him?What about Baili Ziru, is she still in the palace of Prince Chen in the imperial capital?
Yin Haochen looked at Wu Niannian, a trace of guilt flashed across his face, and he said solemnly: "Jiu Ge is injured and too weak, you feed her some wild fruits, and I will go to the river to catch fish first."

"My lord..." Wu Niannian nodded, "Niannian understands." She quickly squatted down and picked up all the wild fruits, washed a few, and gave it to Baili Jiuge with her own hands, while taking Baili Jiuge's torn clothes Close up.

Wu Niannian's appearance of taking care of others was like a maidservant. Baili Jiuge found it dazzling, and hurriedly said: "You are also wearing thin clothes, just warm up here, you don't need to do anything for me."

"I... Niannian is willing to do this." She lowered her head and murmured.

Baili Jiuge's heart skipped a beat, why did he think Wu Niannian's tone was so strange?This willingness doesn't seem to be for her Baili Jiuge, but for... Baili Jiuge subconsciously looked at Yin Haochen, and at this moment he had already gone down into the river.

Han Chan also sat beside Wu Niannian, Wu Niannian gave Han Chan a wild fruit, and said nothing.But Baili Jiuge stared at Wu Niannian, and gradually saw the pain she was holding back.

This made Baili Jiuge very happy.Wu Niannian, really fell in love with Yin Haochen?Sure enough, he was the same as he was at the beginning, sour and happy to find out how to like someone.However, at the beginning, Mo Li had an empty heart and fell in love with her, so the two of them could be together for life; but what about Wu Niannian?But it was too late, even her arrival was because Yin Haochen wanted to use her to deal with Baili Ziru.

Comparing in this way, Baili Jiuge only feels that he is really lucky, but Wu Niannian makes people feel distressed and regretful.

Later, Yin Haochen caught three fish and saw that there were four people in total. He wanted to go to the river again, but Wu Niannian also stopped him.Wu Niannian only smiled and said that she was not hungry, and let the three of them eat.But Baili Jiuge could understand that Wu Niannian just didn't want Yin Haochen to go to the river to suffer from the cold again.

Therefore, during this meal, Baili Jiuge ate a little anxiously, and finally couldn't help asking: "Yin Haochen, why did you and Wu Niannian come here? If you are going to Heluo as an envoy, why don't you bring people with you? "

Yin Haochen was suffocated, and replied: "This king is just... under the order of the emperor's brother, and he went on a mission in disguise."

Is that right?Forget it, I don't have time to explore this anymore.Baili Jiuge laughed loudly: "That's it, then I understand. Anyway, thank you very much. I'm going back to Luoyi now, without further delay."

After speaking, he stood up and forgot how to get to Luoyi City for a moment.But when he stood up, he didn't know what happened, his whole body was even more dizzy, top-heavy, and he was so uncomfortable that he could hardly stand up.

Baili Jiuge just fell back into Yin Haochen's arms, murmuring in confusion, "I... have a high fever?"

Yin Haochen hurriedly said: "Take care of your body first, and then this king will personally send you to Luoyi." After saying that, he picked up Baili Jiuge and walked away in a heavy voice.

Han Chan looked confused, and asked Wu Niannian, "Sister, who is that person? He seems to be very concerned about Jiu Ge."

"He is..." Wu Niannian wanted to say, "It's my husband", but when the words came to his mouth, his throat seemed to have hairy chestnuts, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak out.

His husband does not have her in his heart, and he never thinks that she is his wife, she is only wishful thinking... But as long as she can help him, she can do anything...

Wu Niannian stood up and followed the direction Yin Haochen left.

Han Chan asked, "What is my sister going to do?"

"I'll take care of the Shizi Concubine." Wu Niannian replied, looking back, those eyes were spotless under the caress of the morning light.

In exchange, Han Chan was startled, and murmured to herself: "Why does she call Jiu Ge the Imperial Concubine..."

As the sun rises, this winter's severe cold is also covered with a layer of warmth, but Baili Jiuge is getting more and more drowsy, and even carried to a cave by Yin Haochen to rest, still so drowsy that he can't lift his eyelids , The whole person fell into a chaotic state of unconsciousness.

Yin Haochen felt the pulse of Baili Jiuge and knew that she had a high fever.So he quickly placed her in a pile of warm withered grass and covered her, then took off his robe and covered her with Baili Jiuge.

Touching her forehead, Yin Haochen was startled by the temperature.He got up and wanted to fetch some cold water, but Wu Niannian walked in with water filled with withered lotus leaves.

"My lord, let Niannian take care of the concubine. You have been traveling a lot these two days, so take a rest."

Yin Haochen was suffocated, watching Wu Niannian pass by, and knelt beside Baili Jiuge... A sharp feeling of guilt and remorse immediately cut Yin Haochen's chest.This kind of guilt is not only for Jiuge, but also for Wu Niannian.

In fact, just now, he didn't tell Jiu Ge the truth... For more than a month, Jiu Ge and Zhou Shizi have not heard from each other.It was not easy to hear that they appeared in Heluo, and it happened that the emperor was going to send someone to Heluo, so he wanted to come here under this mission, but he didn't dare to come here in a big way, for fear of disturbing Jiuge...

But Yin Haochen never expected that he would meet Jiu Ge in such a way.

Looking at Wu Niannian again, seeing her carefully feeding the water, Yin Haochen's body couldn't help shaking.He didn't want to bring her here. Since she insisted on following, he should fulfill his previous promise to her and make up for the harm he caused her.

But now, she, who had already lost her child and was weak, wanted to take care of Jiuge like a maid for him...

"My lord, you should sleep for a while. You were the one who kept watch last night and didn't rest." Wu Niannian looked over and said distressedly.

Yin Haochen replied with difficulty: "I am not tired, you can rest."

"Nian Nian is really fine..." She didn't want to see Wang Ye frowning, as long as it could make Wang Ye feel better, she could do anything.

Yin Haochen was speechless, and finally ordered Wu Niannian not to interfere, and he took care of Baili Jiuge himself.But seeing this scene in Wu Niannian's eyes, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The whole day passed like this, and Baili Jiuge never woke up again. She had a severe fever, and her body was so hot that it seemed like magma had surged up. The burning made her think blank, and her head was dizzy.

It's hot, it's so hot... Baili Jiuge panted in pain.

Why is it this uncomfortable feeling again?She still remembered that when she had a high fever in Chaodu, she hugged Mo Li to cool off.Mo Li's body is cool, only holding him will heal...

But, he's not around...

"Mo Li..." Can't help but whisper: "Where are you... hug me, you hug me..."

Yin Haochen, who was wiping her sweat beside her, was shaken all over, causing a sharp pain in his heart.He held back, hugged Baili Jiuge subconsciously, and tightened her in his arms, thinking that she was cold due to a high fever and needed to be hugged.If so, he can help too.

But the drowsy Baili Jiuge struggled to push Yin Haochen away, shouting: "Hot! So hot! I don't want you to hug...I want Mo Li, I want Mo Li to hug me..."

Yin Haochen's back hit the mountain wall, no matter how painful it was, it couldn't overcome the heartache, as if the flesh had been gouged out by a knife.

But Baili Jiuge's words made Yin Haochen puzzled: People who have a high fever are superficially hot, but those who are actually cold need to keep warm. Why does Jiuge feel hot and dry and need to cool down?What is her physique...

"Hot, so hot... Mo Li, Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge cried out in pain, and she kicked away the black robe and dead grass covering her body.

Yin Haochen had no choice but to clamp Baili Jiuge's shoulders to stop her from moving and hurting her body, but she didn't see Wu Niannian, who was kneeling beside her, got up silently and went out of the cave.

It was already dark and the night wind was too cold, Wu Niannian trembling, stumbled through the gloomy woods, came to the river, just walked into the icy cold river.

Han Chan, who was washing her hands by the river, said in surprise, "Sister, what are you doing?"

I saw Wu Niannian walking hard step by step, letting the water overflow her waist, chest, and finally soaked to her neckline.The water mixed with ice cubes was so cold that her teeth trembled and she couldn't speak. She squatted down slowly and submerged everything in the ice water.

Han Chan hurriedly shouted: "Sister, are you okay!"

Seeing Wu Niannian surfaced, she replied tremblingly: "It's okay..."

But the river water in this severe winter was too cold, Wu Niannian didn't know how she held on, until her whole body was frozen as cold as the river water, she came up from the river and walked back with her wet body dragging.

The night wind cut her thin body like a knife. Wu Niannian fell several times, but stood up tenaciously, and staggered back into the cave.

"My lord..."

Yin Haochen froze, unable to understand for a moment why Wu Niannian came over drenched.

"My lord, let Niannian hold the concubine." Wu Niannian suppressed the sourness in his heart, walked over, and said, "Now Niannian's whole body is cold."

She walked over and sat down, and put her arms around Baili Jiuge's body.

The drowsy Baili Jiuge finally grasped the coolness, and subconsciously clung to Wu Niannian's body, finally calming down.

Wu Niannian bit her lip, the water drops were still rolling down, her body twitched and convulsed, as if she was being tortured.If... If I can make Jiuge's high fever subside by doing this, then the prince will definitely feel better.As long as Jiu Ge is good, the prince will be good, and then I... will be good too.

Yin Haochen was completely shocked, and a strong sense of guilt raged in his body.Until now, he woke up like a dream. It turned out that he had never understood Wu Niannian before, and even thought she was hypocritical and pretending to be innocent, but he didn't realize the tenacity in her weakness and the pain in her purity.

Why is he always so ignorant? !
Yin Haochen roared in frustration: "Nian Nian, that's enough. You can't catch a cold anymore!"

But Wu Niannian was taken aback, showing a painful smile.What did the prince call her just now?Nian Nian, this is the first time he called her like that, even for this "Nian Nian", it's worth it... I guess.

Wu Niannian smiled wryly: "Niannian is fine. When the concubine's fever subsides, Niannian will go to warm herself up." After saying that, she hugged Baili Jiuge even tighter, and tried her best to pass the cold temperature to her, feeling sore and desolate in her heart.

The night passed like this, Baili Jiuge finally had a fever, and fell asleep peacefully, not knowing who was holding her last night, but subconsciously hungry and uncomfortable, murmuring that she wanted to eat.

Yin Haochen had no choice but to hunt wild game for her in a hurry, and Wu Niannian went out with a wry smile after Yin Haochen returned to the cave and started roasting rabbits.

Walking through the woods, Wu Niannian walked to the river. The pain, sourness, and grievance accumulated in his heart could no longer be held back, and it just burst out like a bank burst.

She covered her face and burst into sobs.

The Wu family was originally destroyed because of her ominous disaster star, and the child who was conceived in her belly for less than a month also abandoned her as a mother... Living alone in the world, she There is nothing, even the person who wants to entrust her feelings doesn't like her at all...

Wu Niannian cried until her heart broke, her pale face was covered with tears.

"Sister." Han Chan's voice suddenly sounded, startling Wu Niannian.

I saw Han Chan walking out of the smoky woods, holding something in his arms.She asked: "Sister, why do you wrong yourself like this? You swallowed all the tears in your stomach, and didn't let that person know... Sister, I really don't understand you. "

Wu Niannian cried and smiled bitterly: "I didn't even understand it at first, but now I understand it. If you also like someone who has no intentions of you, you will also understand..."

"I don't understand." Han Chan said: "I only understand that I will treat others as others treat me. If others treat me badly, I will never treat them well. If the whole world treats me badly, At least I have bugs for company."

"Bugs?" Wu Niannian was surprised.

Han Chan secretly sighed that she almost slipped her mouth, but fortunately she didn't say too much, and she didn't think Wu Niannian was a bad-bellied person.He simply showed Wu Niannian what he was holding in his arms, and said with a smile, "Here, this is it. It is the one with the best relationship with me among all my bug partners."

Only then did Wu Niannian see clearly that what Han Chan was holding was actually a plump, two-foot-long... silkworm? !
"Can silkworms be this big?" Wu Niannian was dumbfounded.

Han Chan replied: "Because it is not a silkworm that eats mulberry leaves, but a very rare spirit beast 'Gu silkworm'. In fact, it is a Gu insect. It is very docile and is my best friend." He also instructed: "Jiu Ge doesn't know it exists, sister, you have to keep this secret for me, I don't want Jiu Ge to know so much."

Wu Niannian was taken aback, not understanding why.

Han Chan took out a medicine bag from her clothes, handed it to Wu Niannian, and said, "This medicine is for you. If you encounter danger in the future, it can help you deal with bad guys. It works very well. You took my things, I ask you to keep it a secret for me, it will be fair."

Wu Niannian put away the medicine package with a half-knowledge, but sincerely agreed.Now the tears in her eyes were no longer so turbulent. She wiped away the tears and went to pick wild fruits regardless of how uncomfortable she was.

When Baili Jiuge woke up, it was already high in the sun.

She sat up with a heavy body, looked around the desolate scenery in the cave, and then saw Yin Haochen roasting rabbits not far away.

Baili Jiuge was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and he couldn't help laughing, "Thank you, Yin Haochen."

Yin Haochen said with some grief: "This king...didn't do anything." Standing up, he came to Baili Jiuge's side, touched her forehead and asked, concerned: "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Baili Jiuge shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I seemed to have a high fever last night. Did I cause you trouble?"

"No..." Yin Haochen sighed deeply: "It's not my king, it's... Nian Nian."

"Ah?" Baili Jiuge blinked, surprised at the vague memory that flashed through his mind at this moment.She roughly remembered that when the heat was unbearable last night, she finally hugged something cold, and then fell asleep comfortably.

That cold thing is... "Who was holding me last night?" Baili Jiuge could only ask: "Yin Haochen, could it be that Wu Niannian is that cold person?"

Yin Haochen nodded as if blaming himself.

Baili Jiuge was surprised: "How is it possible? Why is Wu Niannian's body temperature so cold? What's going on?"

"It's because of her..." Yin Haochen said with difficulty: "She went to the river and soaked herself, so..."

impossible!Baili Jiuge froze suddenly, and at this moment, a strong cry of grief came from his heart.Wu Niannian, Wu Niannian, for Yin Haochen, how could you wrong yourself like this?

"Where's Wu Niannian?" Baili Jiuge asked.

"This king...doesn't know either. She saw that your fever subsided, so she went out."

Hearing the words, the bottom of the clear eyes was stained with sudden anger.Baili Jiuge suddenly gained strength, stood up suddenly while supporting the wall, rushed up, and kicked Yin Haochen.

"Yin Haochen, you bastard!"

Kicking Yin Haochen staggeringly away, Baili Jiuge sneered out of breath: "She is your wife, last time you pushed her into a carriage for your safety, and even lost her child! She should She took good care of her body, but she ran to Heluo with you! Last night she soaked her whole body for you, do you know how cold the river is in winter nights! Today I recovered from my illness, but you are only here to take care of me I, don't care about her?! Yin Haochen, you really don't know what's good and what's wrong, you're so cold!"

The tall body was kicked and hit the mountain wall, a little embarrassed, but Yin Haochen couldn't answer a word.

Yes, he is cold, he clearly knows that he owes a woman, but he still wants to continue to owe it like this.So what if it's just guilt?He should love Wu Niannian well, but he already has someone in his heart, and his heart cannot be given to Wu Niannian...

At this moment, Wu Niannian walked into the cave vainly, as if she was in extreme physical discomfort, her face and lips were frighteningly white.

When Wu Niannian saw this scene, the fruit in Wu Niannian's hand fell to the ground. She stumbled and ran to Yin Haochen's side, supported him, and then begged: "Concubine Shizi, please don't be angry with the prince. I haven't slept, I've been worrying about your condition..."
