Chapter 4: Deja Vu (2)
After calming down, Yin Yin and the others came to a good restaurant!
All the previous unhappiness was gone in the wine. After one glass, all the troubles were gone!
Yinyin and the others had a good time eating and drinking, chatting happily, drinking one glass of wine after another, completely ignoring the noise around them. They sat at a table by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, where they could look at the snow outside...
Yin Yin and others sat for a long time. There was snow outside and everything was white. While looking at the white scene outside, Yin Yin seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly a figure walked by, and Yin Yin stood up immediately. Before Zhou Yan and others could react, Yin Yin had already run away, went downstairs, and chased out of the inn, following the direction of the figure. There were people everywhere, and the familiar figure could not be found at all!
A gust of cold wind blew, and Yinyin 's dress also fluttered in the wind. Standing in the crowd and in the snow, her back looked so fragile. She was thinking about the person who just walked by the restaurant downstairs. Yinyin was very concerned and completely ignored the shouts of others. A long ladder fell towards her, but she didn't notice it...
"careful!!"
A voice and a pair of warm hands rescued Yin Yin from danger!
Yin Yin finally came to her senses and noticed her situation!
"Thanks, ah—"
Before she could even say "thank you", the wound on Yin Yin's right shoulder seemed to have split open, and she fainted in the pain in the arms of a stranger!
"Hey, are you okay? Hey!"
The person who saved her was Zhao Ziheng?
"……pain--"
From Yinyin's delicate moans, Ziheng noticed her right shoulder, which was dotted with blood. Was she injured?
"You are hurt?"
Ziheng looked at the wound on Yinyin's shoulder and asked with some concern!
"Ugh..." The wound had already split open when he was hit by the bearded man before. Now the big movement caused the wound, which had not yet fully healed, to split open again, and blood began to flow out...
"Be patient, I'll take you to see a doctor right away--" Seeing more and more blood on Yin Yin's shoulder, Ziheng didn't think twice and just picked up Yin Yin and went to see a doctor!
Yinyin's consciousness was gradually dominated by pain until she lost consciousness...
Ziheng rushed to the pharmacy with Yinyin in his arms, anxiously asking the doctor to treat Yinyin. While the doctor was treating Yinyin, Ziheng stayed in the pharmacy and did not leave. Thinking about his behavior, he felt a little funny. He was so anxious for a stranger. A stranger? No, why did her back look so familiar? As if I had seen her before? But it was very vague...
It was unknown how long it had been, but when the doctor came out, Ziheng immediately asked the doctor about his injuries. The doctor was an old man in his fifties...
"Doctor, how is she?"
"The wound on your shoulder has not fully healed. It may have been torn apart by some extreme behavior. Judging from the wound, she was injured by a wild beast, right? Unfortunately, all the related medicinal materials here were bought out not long ago, and we haven't had time to restock them because of the change in weather. Now I can only use ordinary external medicine to apply to her. For the sake of her injury, I advise you to find good medicinal materials as soon as possible, otherwise her wound will fester and may even worsen--" the doctor explained to Ziheng while writing something!
"A beast???"
Ziheng was confused. How could such a weak-looking woman be injured by a wild beast? If she was a peasant girl, it might be possible, but she looked like a lady from a wealthy family, so how could she be injured by a wild beast? ?
"You don't know? Isn't she your wife?"
The doctor looked at Ziheng in surprise and asked!
"No, I didn't know her at all. I just happened to pass by and saved her—"
Ziheng lowered his voice and answered, "His wife? Does she look like her? How could a stranger be his wife? And he only has one wife!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I thought you two were such a good-looking couple!" The doctor stroked his beard and smiled.
"...Excuse me, where can we find the herbs needed to treat the injuries of wild animals? You said that they were all bought up not long ago. Does that mean that all the herbs in the capital have been bought up?"
Ziheng changed the subject and returned to the main topic, let’s see how to save Yinyin first!
"Well, I only heard that he is a person of prominent background. All the medicinal materials have been sent to the [Prime Minister's Mansion], because I also heard that the Prime Minister's daughter was seriously injured. The Prime Minister is a man who is famous for loving his daughter. You can try to ask him for some emergency materials--" said the doctor!
"Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"Um!"
It can't be such a coincidence, right? But it's also possible. Seeing that she was wearing high-quality silk and satin, she didn't look like a lady from an ordinary family...
So, with a try-it attitude, Ziheng hired a carriage to personally send Yinyin to the [Prime Minister's Mansion] to find out the truth. Even if she was not, he could take her back to take care of her... But his guess was absolutely correct. Yinyin was the prime minister's daughter... When Yinyin was just sent to the [Prime Minister's Mansion], the [Prime Minister's Mansion] was in chaos, and there were many soldiers at the door. They thought something had happened. It turned out that Yinyin suddenly ran away while eating in the restaurant and disappeared in an instant , so Zhou Yan and Zhou Cheng mobilized the imperial guards from the palace to help find her. At the same time, the [Prime Minister's Mansion] also sent guards, so it became so chaotic... Hearing that someone sent Yinyin back, Zhou Yan and Zhou Cheng hurried to greet her. When they heard that Yinyin was unconscious due to a ruptured wound, the two hurriedly sent Yinyin back to the room for treatment. Ziheng saw Zhou Yan and Zhou Cheng's actions and could see that they both cared about Yinyin very much, but he never thought that he would become one of them...
When they heard that it was Ziheng who sent Yinyin back, the Prime Minister and his wife were so grateful that they asked Ziheng to stay and treated him graciously as a token of their gratitude. Ziheng didn't want to agree at first, but the Prime Minister and his wife insisted that he stay, and he also wanted to know about Yinyin's situation, so he reluctantly stayed...
The heavy snow has not stopped.
The next day, December 24th, arrived.
When I woke up in the morning, everything outside was covered with snow , which made me feel a little chilly...
