since your farewell

The experience in Nanyang County this time was really not pleasant. The luggage had already been packed. Zhou Nan refused Li Wencai's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, and set off for Tanzhou again with a few people.

"Mr. Jia, who is that young lady?"

"The handmaid of my house",

Situ Che was distraught, the princess never spoke to her again, even though the princess didn't talk much, she just felt very uneasy.

Qingfeng still didn't follow them, and protected her in private as a secret guard.

"Then you... are you engaged?"

Situ Che was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head. She is now Jia Yunqing, not Major General Situ, that's all, she envies Jia Yunqing.

Disappointment flashed in Zheng Rong's eyes, but it was quickly hidden.

"You really know martial arts?"

"Well, a little bit",

"But I heard from the princess that the person who killed Xu Zhi that day had very good martial arts."

That maid's skill is really not bad, will Jia Yunqing's martial arts be inferior?

Hearing that he mentioned the princess, Situ Che was a little uncomfortable, and he had no desire to continue. Zheng Rong saw that she didn't want to talk, but he didn't force it.

Along the way, Situ Che still boiled medicine and cooked for the princess, and every time he handed it to Mingyue, he always got a look of blank stare.

"Princess, according to this servant, Jia Yunqing, an annoying guy, is definitely not wanted. The engagement that the ugly woman said last time is probably fake."

Mingyue put the medicine into the carriage and said angrily.

"Um",

Zhou Nan responded weakly, and weakly took a sip of the medicine, and then it burst with a crisp sound, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

"Princess, what's wrong with you!"

"fine",

She coughed twice, her face paled a little, her body was like paper, and she fell down when she blew.

"What's the matter?"

Mingyue refused to let her go, seeing her insisting on holding on, she resolutely moved out Master Cassia Ming,

"Princess is like this again, the servant girl is going to pass the letter to Master Jue Ming, let her discipline the apprentice herself! Anyway, the princess only listens to Master Jue Ming."

"Don't disturb Master, I'm in good health, cough...cough, maybe I'm new here, I'm a little uncomfortable, just take a rest."

"Then let's go to town to rest",

Mingyue was still worried. The weather in the south was cold and humid, which the princess couldn't bear the most, and the carriage was always bumping. It seemed that she hadn't slept well for a long time.

Zhou Nan didn't try to be brave, and acquiesced to her proposal, but also worried that his body would not be able to hold on.

Mingyue opened the curtain, and Situ Che and Zheng Rong stood by, one on the left and one on the right, presumably attracted by the sound of the bowl being smashed just now.

"Don't hurry, find an inn to rest for a while now",

"Yes",

Zheng Rong turned his horse's head without hesitation, and ran to the front to arrange a place to stay.

"Sister Mingyue, is the princess feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"yes".

"What's up with her?"

Situ Che was a little anxious, she knew something about Zhou Nan's body, and the cough from the carriage made people worry.

"I'm mad at you",

Mingyue put down the curtain angrily, and pushed her hard by the way,

"Your work is done, why don't you get out?"

She was pushed back and felt very depressed. Mingyue scolded her rightly. She came to Nanyang this time because of her. So many bad things happened. The princess was angry and tired. She didn't know how to repay her. .

Clenching his fists, the major general made a promise in his heart that he must help her find Changhong and cure her illness.

After getting off the carriage, Zheng Rong leaned over and stretched out his arms to let the princess support her. Situ Che followed from a distance, not daring to approach her, fearing that Zhou Nan would not want to see her.

Zhou Nan glanced at the arm extended by the commander of the imperial army, but did not touch it. She was not too weak to walk alone.

Seeing her slender and frail figure walking away, Zheng Rong felt a little lost. He admired her strength, but at the same time yearned for her dependence; he respected her as the supreme eldest princess, but he also hoped that she was just a tender woman.

Situ Che seemed to see what he was thinking, and pursed his lips. However, Her Royal Highness is Her Royal Highness, and it's not about what she should behave at any time, but that her appearance at any time is a part of her.

The place where they rested was a typical small county town in the south of the Yangtze River, with mossy bluestone roads, beautiful bridges and flowing water in the forest, and misty misty Jiangnan misty rain. A group of people walked quietly on the street holding oil-paper umbrellas , for fear of disturbing this gentle and delicate soil and water.

The mountains and rivers in the distance are like ink, and a small boat is moored on the bank of the small river.

"Princess, the inn is on the other side of the river."

Zheng Rong arranged for several people to board the boat, and the hale and hearty old boatman, wearing a straw hat, paddled skillfully and sent them across the river safely.

Having never been to such a long and quiet place, Situ Che put away the paper umbrella in his hand, stood beside the boat and stretched out his hand, wanting to touch this superbly crafted ink scroll, or to open the misty and boundless long curtain of misty rain.

"Young man is going to Jiangnan for the first time",

"Yes, old man."

The boatman spoke Wu Nong's soft words, his forehead was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were bright and piercing, which made people feel close. Situ Che was unrestrained, asking questions curiously, and the two chatted half-understood , From time to time, I heard the sound of the boatman laughing.

"If not... I'd better call Mr. Jia in."

Zheng Rong looked at the pale Zhou Nan, and Mingyue was in the same mood, wanting to beat up Jia Yunqing who was still talking and laughing at the moment.

Why is this person so heartless?

"No need",

Zhou Nan looked out of the window, even in a small boat, Situ Che not far away was surrounded by smoke, so hazy and unreal, so that she couldn't see her face clearly, on the contrary, there was an indescribable charm up.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and people are in the mountains and rivers.

Zhou Nan was always sure that he was thinking about another person through her, so he tried his best to keep her by his side, and indulged her in every possible way.

The boat stopped quietly for a moment in the middle,

"Boy, here's what you want",

"Thank you old man",

Situ Che rolled his eyes, jumped up to the river bank, and picked a handful of mints. The refreshing aroma wafted from her, as if she had found something precious.

"Here we usually use mint to cook porridge or stewed chicken and fish. The fresh mint crucian carp soup made by my old woman is delicious, and it is most effective for coughing. If you want to eat it, you can come to my house. Just now It's not far from where you take the boat."

"The younger generation will definitely visit when I have time in the future",

Seeing his simple smile, Situ Che

"The relationship between you and your aunt must be very good."

"What's not bad, you quarrel with me every day, trivial things, but we have been together for decades, I know her, she understands me",

The old man waved his hand, revealing his big white teeth under his dark skin,

"You young people are good. Do you have a girl you like?"

"never",

The smile on her face faded a lot. The girl who kept saying she wanted to marry her was gone, but she had already promised that she would not kiss anyone else.

The boatman recommended her a marriage-seeking temple in the town, saying that the old man under the moon there was very spiritual, and the red rope he led led to countless lovers, but Situ Che politely declined. The old man is a little pity,

"There is also a wishing tree next to that temple, and it is okay to seek fame and safety."

"Pray for peace?"

Situ Che was a little moved.

The old man nodded repeatedly. There was once a plague in the town, and many people died of the disease. Later, everyone went under the tree to make a wish for safety, and it didn't take long for the spirit to appear.

On the other side of the river, Situ Che bid farewell to the boatman. The old man was still a little bit reluctant, and his teeth were sore from watching Mingyue and the others.

"You can hook up with people anywhere."

Mingyue scolded secretly, isn't it? The women in Nanyang County are just fine. Those jailers kept her behind. It's really impressive. Now it's an old man who is over sixty years old. Men, women, and children all care about her. Yes, even the princess is protecting her... Could this person be the reincarnation of a vixen?

Situ Che also noticed everyone's dissatisfaction, and walked behind alone with the handful of green mint on his back, trying to minimize his sense of existence, which was a bit pitiful.

The princess was arranged in a small quadrangle courtyard. The courtyard was clean, and it must have been cleaned not long ago. There was a small pond inside. There was a rockery beside the pond, and a stone bridge over the water. There are many winding corridors, some of which protrude from the water, and they are built into long pavilions. Many flowers and trees are planted around the corners of the surrounding walls, and the fragrance in the air comes from them.

Flowers, stones, birds, trees, every plant and tree here is full of the delicate and lingering Jiangnan. Looking at Zhou Nan's tall and thin back, Situ Che felt that this place seemed to be tailor-made for her. The exquisite beauty, Sophisticated beauty.

The lunch is cooked by the chef in the yard. The dishes here are light and sweet, with fine colors, especially the meat, which is delicious and crispy. It is especially suitable for sick people like Zhou Nan. Situ Che secretly remembers her preference A few dishes, I plan to go to the cook to ask for skills in the evening.

"Sister Mingyue, wait!"

Seeing that Mingyue was about to close the door, Situ Che trotted to the door of Zhou Nan's bedroom with the plate in his hand.

"doing what?"

"Isn't the princess uncomfortable? The effect of rock sugar pears seems not as good as before, but in Jiangnan, mint must be useful. Let the princess drink this porridge."

"Mint is cool, you want to hurt the princess?"

"No, I also added some other things to restrain its yin, it is very helpful for calming the nerves and detoxification, and the local residents here eat it",

Fearing that Mingyue would not believe it, she explained a few more words,

"A small dose can soothe the nerves, a large dose is for refreshing, and it will not harm the princess' body."

"Oh",

Mingyue took it anyway, even if this guy had a bit of conscience, he didn't completely forget the princess.

Zhou Nan didn't really want to drink that bowl of steaming porridge, but the smell of mint really cleared up her drowsy mind. After drinking the porridge, it became sweeter and sweeter. Situ Che also added some minced meat to make the porridge not so difficult to swallow.

As if in response to Situ Che's words, she fell asleep not long after drinking the porridge.
