Chapter 6
The blinding white light made it impossible to open one's eyes, and everyone was filled with grief.
The leading elder murmured devoutly.
"My lord, we will stay here and wait for your return."
Nalan Jingwen looked at the red figure in the distance. The moment the woman jumped down, he resolutely turned and left without a trace of regret.
But she clearly saw him stagger slightly from behind.
She was enveloped in a familiar white light and slowly opened her eyes.
The familiar broken roof.
She frowned, as if something flashed through her mind but she couldn't grasp it. This dream was so long and the scenes changed, as if it had really happened. But she was certain that she had never encountered these scenes before or now.
He sighed, turned his head to look, but there was no one beside him.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the blinding sunlight made her squint. Through the haze, she saw a figure in a green robe coming from behind the light. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she knew it was him.
She suddenly remembered the voice she had heard in her hazy state last night and called out, "Liu Qishan?"
The man paused slightly as he approached, but quickly resumed his pace.
"Hmm, you're awake?"
Like the gentle tenderness after a breeze.
It has a light, comforting flavor.
It turns out it was true. Nalan Jing thought to himself that he had been hallucinating last night.
Liu Qishan walked over with a bowl containing familiar white porridge.
"Eat first, then take medicine."
Nalan Jingwen looked around and found that the fire inside the house was not lit. Was he cooking porridge outside?
Are you afraid of waking yourself up?
However, she didn't ask, and just drank the porridge from his hand.
She didn't have much of an appetite in the morning, and was full after just one bowl of water. She shook her head and refused, "No need, I'm full, you eat."
Liu Qishan nodded, a gentle smile on his lips, just like the person he was, as gentle as a spring breeze.
He took out a pill and gave it to Nalan Jingwen, then changed the herbal medicine applied to her body before earnestly instructing her, "I have to go out for a while and will be back before noon. Remember not to move around."
"it is good."
Nalan Jingwen nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know where the man was going, it was his freedom and he couldn't interfere.
"You must remember not to move around and wait for me to come back."
He carried the basket, which was half his size, on his back, and gave one last instruction before leaving.
"I understand, go ahead."
Only after receiving Nalan Jingwen's affirmative answer did Liu Qishan agree to leave.
Watching his departing figure, I wondered if his eyesight was alright.
The question suddenly popped into Nalan Jingwen's mind. He paused for a moment, then quickly dismissed the question from his head.
Liu Qishan looks to be no more than twenty years old. He has survived in this world for many years despite being blind and alone, and he is still alive and well. He must have his own way of protecting himself. Perhaps you should be more worried about your own safety than him.
Although I've never been outside, I can tell from the occasional calls of birds and beasts and the rustling of leaves in the wind that this dilapidated temple is located deep in the mountains.
Even though it's winter and animals usually hibernate and don't roam outside, what if something happens?
Another possibility is that they might encounter people like them who are just passing by and stop by the dilapidated temple for a rest.
If it were an ordinary person, that would be fine, but what if it were bandits or desperate criminals?
She probably only has one path left: death.
Trying to move my hands and feet, even the slightest exertion sent sharp, stabbing pains through my brain like countless needles, and soon, sweat beaded on my forehead.
I can't exert any strength at all.
Liu Qishan helped her reconnect her meridians, which shocked her immensely. In modern times, reconnecting meridians would be a very easy thing, but this was in ancient times, an era when medical technology was extremely backward, and even a slight cold or fever could be fatal.
Liu Qishan managed to reconnect her meridians under such difficult conditions, which shocked her greatly.
Liu Qishan's medical skills are probably even higher than I imagined.
Nalan Jingwen frowned involuntarily.
If such medical skills are so advanced, why can't this person be found in the original owner's memories?
She closed her eyes and began to sort through her memories.
The continent is now divided into four kingdoms: Fengtian, Qilin, Sushui, and Baiji.
This body belongs to Nalan Jingwen, the third prince of the Fengtian Dynasty, who was bestowed the title of Wise Prince.
She and the current Empress of Fengtian are siblings, both born to the previous Empress.
It should be noted that, normally, princesses who are granted a title would go to their fiefdom and not be allowed to stay in the capital. However, the original owner of this body was granted special permission to stay in the capital and build a royal palace.
Because of the current empress's favor, the original owner gradually developed a spoiled and dissolute nature.
He was a womanizer, abducted men, and committed all sorts of evil deeds.
Today he abducted this man into his mansion, and tomorrow he will spend a fortune to buy the virginity of a courtesan. Everyone in Fengtian Capital hates this Third Prince, but no one dares to complain, let alone resist.
So what if someone is a good-for-nothing? So what if someone is a playboy? So what if someone is a wicked and despicable person?
Who dares to say anything?
Her backer is the current Empress, and she is the Empress's most beloved younger sister. This alone is enough to leave countless people speechless.
But even the worst scoundrel has someone to take him in. And so, this philandering prince met her nemesis, Rong Hengyu, the only son of the Prime Minister's mansion.
Love at first sight, and I can't live without him.
That's how they were completely ruined.
When the original owner was sixteen, she met the seventeen-year-old Rong Hengyu, who was exceptionally talented, and began to pursue him intensely.
Ke Rong Hengyu disliked the original owner, even loathed her, and never looked at her directly, always leaving her with that aloof and indifferent back view.
Turning away again and again.
Nalan Jing felt a sudden pang in his heart as he thought of that figure, and a strange emotion surged up like a tide, causing him to frown slightly.
What kind of emotion was that?
Bitterness, confusion, resentment, pain.
She took a deep breath, waiting for the oppressive mood to gradually dissipate.
The original owner pursued Rong Hengyu for two years, using all her charms but still couldn't win his favor. The most embarrassing time was when she heard that Rong Hengyu liked the hibiscus cake from a newly opened shop in the capital. To show her sincerity, she didn't send her subordinates to buy it, nor did she use her privileges, and went to queue up alone.
The shop was thriving, and the cakes were in high demand. She queued from morning till evening to finally buy one, but it just so happened to be raining. She carefully held the warm hibiscus cake in her bosom to avoid getting wet in the rain, and found Rong Hengyu, who was returning to the mansion from the temple by carriage, by the moat.
Women are not allowed to ride in the same carriage as men, and since she was a prince, Rong Hengyu had no choice but to get out of the carriage with an umbrella to see her.
She carefully presented the pastries in her arms to Rong Hengyu, looking at him ingratiatingly, but Rong Hengyu only glanced at them indifferently before refusing them.
But how could the original owner give up so easily? When she repeatedly begged Rong Hengyu to accept it, the latter seemed to get impatient and directly lifted it up with one hand. Because the original owner was too tired and had been soaked in the rain for a long time, she lost her balance and fell into the moat.
The hibiscus cake, which had been protected for so long, rolled around on the ground several times, got dirty with sewage, and was no longer edible.
At that time, the streets were full of pedestrians and vendors rushing home, and they naturally saw this scene and stopped to whisper among themselves.
She, who had always been high and mighty, had never been so humiliated before.
The original owner had martial arts skills, but she didn't struggle. She just stared blankly at the pastries, which were soaked by the rain and covered in dirt, just like herself.
She would always remember that scene, Rong Hengyu's resolute turning away, and the mockery and disgust in his eyes.
