My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 168

"Do you have all the eight medicinal materials you need?"

"Yes! It is rumored that medicinal plants that go against the seasons and regions can be grown there. Let alone eight kinds of fragrant grasses, even ten or twenty kinds can be produced. So, if you really want to gamble, just cross the Huai River Hurry up and go back, maybe we can catch up. But now that the first flood has just passed, the river is flooded and the current is turbulent, so I’m afraid it won’t be so easy.”

"It doesn't matter! As long as there is hope, try it! I will try my best to come back within eight days. Lord Shadow will entrust you for the time being. Immediately recall the celadon guards who rescued the disaster and take care of your daily life. Without delay, I will set off immediately .”

"En. It's just that the flood has just passed. At this time, the boatman will definitely not want to get out of the boat easily. You are alone..."

"It's all right. I've got my way. It's going to be all right!"

"Then, take care all the way."

"Take care." Yun Shang bowed her hands and said goodbye.

Wan Chengxiao, who was in a severe coma with a high fever, knew nothing about it.She only vaguely knew that there seemed to be a different person beside her, with different hands taking care of her.Although these hands are also meticulous, they seem to lack the warmth of the first hands.

A nostalgic warmth.Wan Qixiao, who was in a coma, let out a low growl and frowned.Her head was already dripping with cold sweat.This high fever is dangerous, she must survive it!She can't die, she has to go back to see Qin Xian.Qin Xian said that he wanted to share the country with Qing, half of her country is still waiting for her to go back!
She can't just collapse in this place!Wan Chengxiao struggled, trying to run towards the only light in the dark world.No matter how tired you are, you can't stop, keep running, keep running...

In a daze, Wan Qixiao struggled for life and death in the dark, and sometimes he became slightly unconscious when he got better.In the intermittent waking state, she vaguely heard some small conversations, and she also knew something about the situation: the prescription came out, but the medicinal materials were all flooded, and now there are no medicinal materials, so she can only be persistent. Fang Zi, no one can save her!And Yunshang, in order to save her, seemed to go to a very dangerous place to ask for medicine...

In this way, he woke up from time to time in a daze, and after seven days, when the evening fell on the eighth day, Wan Qixiao struggled to wake up amidst the mourning and weeping.

When he opened his eyes, Wan Chengxiao only felt that the world was spinning.The smoke from the surrounding incense made it choking, as if everything was distorted and I couldn't see clearly, there seemed to be someone whimpering softly nearby, and it seemed that someone was right in front of me and said "wake up, wake up!" in surprise, etc. , in short, very confusing.

"Wake up, my lord, you're finally awake!" Aunt Qingci saw Wan Qixiao move, and quickly picked up the cloak next to her and put it on her, holding her with tears and laughs, and said to Ning Shuo outside the tent. Yun and the others said, "My lord is awake!"

"Awake?" Ning Shuoyun was startled, took a step, and murmured to himself, "Could it be that it's really a flashback? Can't you survive this step..." Infinite sadness arose in his heart.

"My lord!" Two guards, Wang An and Jin Fei, supported him.

Ning Shuoyun suddenly felt infinitely tired.He waved his hands to them, then heaved a long sigh, and said to the inside of the tent, "My lord, you... If there is anything you can't let go of, just explain it to me. If Ning can do it, he will try his best!" Ning Shuo Yun, a man in his 40s, actually cried.

Wan Qixiao was supported by Aunt Qingci to sit up, his head was dazed and he couldn't hear anything clearly, but he vaguely understood the grief in Ning Shuoyun's words.So, is it time for her to confess her last words?
Wan Qixiao wriggled his white and chapped lips, his eyes were more or less white and black, and he almost turned them up several times.Her body was on the verge of falling, but her mouth was determined to pronounce each word as completely as possible, saying: "First, immediately... write a memorial and report it, and ask the emperor... to support the medicinal materials..."

"Okay, sir, let's do it!" I don't know if Wan Qixiao's first last words triggered him, Ning Shuoyun suddenly said "wow", crying with snot and tears.The usual hard-faced pride that he dared to bear even if the sky fell was gone, and he was not afraid of being embarrassed at this moment, hugged Wang An beside him, and cried like a mess.

"Second, you must not...disclose...the news of this official's distress...to the emperor."

Ning Shuoyun, who was wiping tears in embarrassment, was stunned: "Why?"

"The old man...would...worry. Cough, cough, cough..." Wan Chengxiao began to cough violently, and Aunt Qingci hurriedly patted her on the back carefully.

"Yes. I understand." Ning Shuoyun promised, but he ignored it without hesitation in his heart.Lord Yingying was still thinking about the emperor before he died, fearing that he would be far away in the imperial capital, worrying about him and delaying political affairs, but how could the emperor not know about such an important matter!Furthermore, if Lord Shadow passed away right away, he would be gone alone. When the relief team returns to Beijing in the future, anyone with a discerning eye will be able to see that Lord Shadow is gone.

Ning Shuoyun made a decision almost immediately: Report this matter immediately, even if the imperial decree and medicinal materials arrive late, at least Lord Shadow can return to Beijing with his ashes in the midst of the emperor's grace, so that he will not be exhausted for the country. The end was miserable, and the road was lonely all the way.

As soon as he made up his mind, Ning Shuoyun couldn't stand anymore. Seeing that Wan Qixiao was panting for breath and seemed to have no more to say, he immediately looked after the maid at the door and said, "If you have any orders, just do what you say. Do you hear me?" !"

"My lord, I will take my leave first." Ning Shuoyun saluted and left in a hurry.

Wang An, Jin Fei and his party also left the room immediately.The room, which had been full just now, suddenly became empty.

Wan Qixiao coughed and rolled his eyes, and almost passed out several times.Her face was flushed, she was dizzy from the fever, and panting, she ordered: "Let's go outside, bring a bucket of cold water."

"Cold water?" Aunt Qingci was puzzled, but she ordered it anyway.

A bucket full of cold water came, and Wan Qixiao signaled Aunt Qingci to soak her in the water.

Qingci was stunned on the spot, and then hurriedly stopped: "No way! My lord, your high fever has not subsided, such a forced cooling will only make your body weaker! Although it can cool down temporarily, it will make your condition worse. It is tantamount to drinking poison to quench your thirst. !"

Wan Chengxiao smiled coldly at her with a pale face: "If I don't...cool down now, do I...have a chance...to get worse?"

"My lord!" Qingci immediately fell silent.

"Don't worry... I don't die so easily! And Yunshang... I will definitely last until he comes back!" Wan Chengxiao gave her a weak but firm smile.Firmly believe that she will live, just as firmly believe that Yunshang will come back.

So, starting from this night, buckets of cold water were delivered to the guest rooms in the magistrate's mansion, and the water brought out was slightly warm.Celadon took care of Wan Qixiao more attentively, for fear that she would be damaged if she was not careful.
