"Well, I was almost strangled to death by him. He said that if Murong Xi dies, my life will also be lost." Concubine Shu said calmly.
"What? The witch has always trusted you, so how could he be angry with you because of Murong Xi? What is the relationship between this Murong Xi and the witch?" Yuan'er asked in confusion.
"I don't know, but you have forgotten that when I and you met him in the temple, he was sitting in the charming flower garden with a portrait in his hand. The copy of the portrait was very strange.
It feels very similar to the portrait that Murong Xi gave to the Queen Mother. After I saw the portrait, I was shocked, thinking that it was Yuan Jin'er. Of course, I never asked him about this
, until one day when Yuan Jin'er's portrait was placed in Biyun Palace, he discovered it. He chased me and asked where the woman in the portrait came from. Naturally, I told the truth, she is the current empress.
But he has passed away long ago. I can't see his face, I can only hear him muttering to himself, "This is not her." From that time on, he gave me a task, which is to find someone similar to Yuan Jin'er.
woman. I didn’t care about it at first, and never thought that Murong Xi could come back. When she returned to the palace, I also thought that Murong Xi would be as good as the queen in appearance, but I didn’t want to except those eyes.
There was nothing like Yuan Jin'er in his eyes. So, he didn't tell the witch master about the matter. Later, when he wanted to get rid of Murong Xi, he wanted the witch master to help. As a result, he didn't expect the witch master to see it.
Murong Xi, who looks nothing like Yuan Jin'er, also cares so much." Concubine Shu said weakly as she sat there.
At this time, Yuan'er brought a cup of tea and asked Concubine Shu to drink some first.
"Master, you should speak less now. Your voice is a little hoarse. Take good care of it. Anyway, the witch master has sent people to search for it personally. When he finds it, he will notify us." Yuan'er comforted her and said.
Hades Palace
Xuanliang and Yeluo would arrive in the capital in about one day, and at this time, Yefeng suddenly appeared in the study. He said respectfully: "Master, there is news from Jiangnan that the princess was seriously injured and fell into the river.
Life or death is uncertain."
Upon hearing this, Feng Mingye jumped up and quickly felt a blast of cold air, and then asked: "What did you say, Xi'er fell into the river? Poof..."
When Feng Mingye heard that Murong Xi's life or death was uncertain, she was filled with poisonous fire and spit out a mouthful of black blood.
"Master, master." Ye Feng was in a state of chaos and called the secret guard to ask Bai Wuxie to come over.
"What happened?" As soon as Bai Wuxie came in, he saw Feng Mingye lying on the ground, looking like he had just vomited blood.
"Princess, Her Royal Highness fell into the river and her life or death is uncertain. The master vomited blood after hearing the news. Sir, please hurry up and see if the master is okay." Ye Feng was also a little at a loss. Their master never did
Live like this.
After Bai Wuxie felt for his pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's nothing serious. He is in a hurry. He will be fine tomorrow morning."
At midnight, Feng Mingye suddenly opened his eyes, and then shouted softly: "Ye Feng, inform Ye Li and Ye Yu to set off tonight."
"Master, your body?" Night Breeze said worriedly.
"If Xi'er is gone, I will not live alone. Go and inform the Yama Palace and ask them to find Xi'er." They knew that as long as the master made up his mind, even ten cows could not be brought back. Ye Feng simply turned around and left.
Notified Ye Li and Ye Luo.
As for the four people in front of them, Feng Mingye changed from her usual purple clothes and wore a black robe. She wore a phoenix tail mask on her head, making her look even more enchanting.
The other three people were also dressed in black, with masks on their faces.
four people
We set off under the moonlight.
Rushi and Ruhua heard the news early the next morning. They also left Hades' Mansion and notified Anxiang Pavilion to find someone.
At this time, in a dilapidated thatched house by the river, a girl with a pale face and sweating was lying there unconscious. Isn't this girl the same Murong Xi who fell into the water?
There was a mother-in-law sitting next to her, wiping her face and palms.
He was still mumbling: "Why is this girl so pitiful? When the old man rescued her, she was still vomiting blood. I don't know when she will wake up."
"Ahem, water, water." Murong Xi felt that she was so hot that she could fry an egg. However, there seemed to be a person sitting next to her, gently cooling her fever.
After hearing the sound, the mother-in-law shouted happily: "Old man, the girl is awake. Go get a bowl of water quickly."
"Hey, here you go." The old man looked very strong. He came over with warm water and handed it to the mother-in-law.
However, the mother-in-law seemed to be blind. After groping for the water, she slowly lifted Murong Xi up and brought it to Murong Xi's mouth.
Murong Xi closed her eyes, but she felt the water glass, picked it up and drank it.
She opened her eyes slightly and realized that her fever was caused by internal injuries.
Then he asked softly: "Mother-in-law, where am I?"
"Girl, you've been lying down for three days. The old man was fishing in the river. Who knew the fish didn't come back, so he brought you back. This place is far away from our village. The old man has to fish every day, so it's really hard to go back and forth.
It was not convenient, so we, the old couple, moved to the river." My mother-in-law said gently.
Only then did Murong Xi realize that her mother-in-law's eyes seemed invisible. But she knew from her words that she had been suffering from a fever for three days and fell into the water just in time for the old man to catch up with him while he was fishing, so he rescued her.
Back. It seems that this old couple is very kind-hearted.
"Thank you to the old man and my mother-in-law for saving my life. Without you, I might have sunk to the bottom of the river." Murong Xi said sincerely.
"Girl, you still have a fever, but we, the old couple, don't have the ability to find a doctor for you. We can only use local methods to dissipate the heat for you, so it will take a while for you to recover." The mother-in-law sighed and said.
"It's okay, are there any mountains near here?" Murong Xi thought that he didn't have any money, but he could go up to the mountains to collect medicine and come back.
"Yes, there are mountains behind the thatched house we live in." My mother-in-law said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go collect some medicinal materials and come back later. I'm a doctor, so I shouldn't have any problem treating myself." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Are you a doctor?" the old man asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have learned medical skills from my master since I was a child." Murong Xi replied.
"So that's all, that's good. I just made some porridge, you can drink it first. You haven't eaten for three days, you must be starving." The old man brought a bowl of porridge in from outside the door and let Murong Xi drink it first.
After Murong Xi regained some strength, she found that the clothes she was wearing had been replaced. She was wearing something very suitable for the occasion, and she looked like a village girl.
When she went out of the room, she realized that the old couple's thatched house was very dilapidated. It was not that the old couple had no money to find a doctor for themselves, but they couldn't even afford a doctor for their mother-in-law's eye disease.
The fish the old man caught was only enough to feed and clothe two people.
Murong Xi made up his mind to cure her mother-in-law's eye disease when she was almost recovered, which would be considered as repaying the old couple for their life-saving grace.
she takes
After getting a bamboo basket, she went up the mountain and collected some medicinal materials. She found that the medicinal materials in the mountain were very luxuriant and there were many types.
After returning home, I took medicine and healed myself. Within three days, I was alive and kicking again.
Another time when she went to the river, she discovered that the mask on her face had been soaked in river water for a long time and there was something wrong with it. She just took off the mask with medicinal herbs and threw it away.
The old man was shocked when he returned to the thatched hut.
Murong Xi had no choice but to explain that he was out for fun, so he changed his appearance. Because he had been soaked in the river water for a long time, he took off the mask.
On this day, Murong Xi took the initiative and asked: "Mother-in-law, you know that I am a doctor, what is your eye disease? When did you lose sight?"
When the mother-in-law heard this, she began to sigh, and then said: "It has been a few years. If it weren't for my eye disease and the old man not trusting me, how could we, the old couple, live outside the village? Life at home used to be pretty good, but there was one
My son was dissatisfied and loved to gamble. The family should take care of things and buy things. We were the only two old bones left. He bought all the land and houses in the village and ran away. We had nowhere to go, so we had to go to the river.
A simple thatched house was built next to it. But we needed to make a living, and there was no other way. The old man went fishing, so I went up to the mountain to dig wild vegetables. I don’t know if it was because of the wild vegetables, but after eating it a few times, I couldn’t see my eyes.
"
Murong Xi nodded. She was afraid that she had accidentally eaten poisonous herbs, causing her mother-in-law to lose her sight.
Murong Xi said softly: "Mother-in-law, let me take your pulse and see if it can be cured. If it can be cured, you will be able to see things soon."
"Really?" The mother-in-law ignited hope. She didn't ask for anything else, she just hoped to see the old man beside her.
"Yes." Murong Xi put his hand on her mother-in-law's wrist and carefully diagnosed her mother-in-law's pulse.
I found out that my mother-in-law's eyesight was actually caused by accidentally ingesting medicinal materials. It was just a few years ago, so it took time to recover.
So, she said: "Mother-in-law, I can cure your eye disease. I will go up the mountain to collect some herbs for you. You can apply them externally and internally. You will be better within a month."
Murong Xi just said conservatively that in fact, he would be able to see things vaguely in less than ten days, and he would be able to return to his former self after a month.
"Girl, are you serious? My old lady never thought that she could recover in her whole life. Girl, thank you." The old lady's eyes were moist, and I believe she was moved and wanted to cry.
"Mother-in-law, you can't cry. Crying will hurt your eyes. Mother-in-law, just call me Xi'er. I'll go up the mountain and wait for me at home." After Murong Xi finished persuading, he just did what he said and carried him on his back.
The little bamboo basket went up the mountain. Murong Xi had to heal his own internal injuries before he could treat the mother-in-law's eye disease.
In the Yunzhou area in the south of the Yangtze River, Feng Mingye's face was lifeless. It could be said that he had never smiled since he heard about Murong Xi's accident.
I only heard him say coldly: "Has the news reached the capital?"
"Returning to the master, the news of the princess's disappearance has reached the palace a day ago. The palace is now in a state of panic, and His Majesty has sent people to find the whereabouts of the princess. Ye Luo and Xuan Liang have also arrived in the capital and are temporarily arranged to stay with Pluto.
In the house." Ye Feng replied.
"Well, if I know who hurt Xi'er, I will make his life worse than death!" Feng Mingye's whole body was filled with coldness. If she stood beside him for a long time, she would be frozen into an ice sculpture.
Feng Mingye is going crazy. He doesn't care about others now. He lives wherever Xuanliang likes. As long as he can find Xi'er, he is willing to pay any price.
