A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 457 1 An explanation for the pain of lovesickness

"Ah, when the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world!"

Yan Zong and Si Yao walked into the villa hand in hand. Shu Feng, who had been waiting in the hall, waved a folding fan and joked with the two people outside with a smile.

"He is the great general of Xiyue Kingdom, Shufeng, and he is also my friend for many years." Yan Zong glanced at him and turned to introduce him to Si Yao.

"But you came to the pharmacy today to look for my General Shufeng? I wonder what the general wants to see Si Yao about?" After hearing Yan Zong's introduction, Si Yao remembered what Rong Fan told her at noon, so she took two steps forward and saluted Shufeng and asked.

She didn't know General Shufeng and had never seen him before. She was confused when she heard Rong Fan's words, so she wrote them down and planned to ask him in detail when she met Prince Zong. Unexpectedly, she saw him as soon as she arrived, so she didn't need to mention it.

"Nothing..." Hearing this clear and cold voice, Shu Feng put away his fan and strode out of the hall. However, just as he smiled and spoke, he was stunned when he saw Si Yao's face clearly. In a trance, he mistook her for Yan Yu and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Don't pay attention to this idiot, let's go to the backyard." Seeing Shufeng's expression, Yan Zong naturally guessed something but was also annoyed that he didn't know etiquette, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Si Yao to the backyard.

Although Si Yao was accustomed to being stared at like this, she was greatly disappointed that Shufeng, who was the general of Xiyue Kingdom and a good friend of Prince Zong, was so rude in public. She did not pay much attention to him and followed Yan Zong away.

It wasn't until Si Yao disappeared from his sight that Shu Feng reacted. He shook his head repeatedly in annoyance. It was so rude. However, they did have some similarities, so it was no wonder that he admitted his mistake so quickly.

"General Shufeng, what's wrong with you?" Yu Cheng and Xiaolu, who had just entered the yard, happened to see Shufeng shaking his head in frustration. They couldn't help but look at each other, and Yu Cheng asked in confusion.

"It's okay." Hearing Yu Cheng's voice, Shu Feng turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw Xiaolu dressed as a medicine boy, his eyes widened immediately: "Are you Xiaolu?"

"Xiaolu greets General Shufeng. General, it's been a long time since we last met. How are you?" Xiaolu smiled, raised his hands slightly, and bowed in return.

"Boy, I haven't seen you for many years. You sneaked into Sanxiu Pharmacy?" Shufeng smiled and stepped forward to pat Xiaolu on the shoulder. Without waiting for Xiaolu to explain, he suddenly dragged him into the hall and said to Yucheng: "I will have a chat with Xiaolu, you go and do your work!"

Yu Cheng and Xiao Lu were both confused, but since he was the general, they had to obey his orders.

"Since you work as a medicine boy in Sanxiu Pharmacy, do you know Miss Xuanyu?" Shufeng asked straight to the point after pulling Xiaolu into the hall.

"Miss Xuanyu has been in the pharmacy for more than half a year. Does the general recognize her?" Xiaolu nodded blankly and said.

"Who is that pretty boy beside her? Her husband?" Shu Feng ignored Xiaolu's surprised question and continued.

"Mr. Zeng Si? They are a couple, but they probably haven't gotten married yet." Xiaolu had no choice but to reply.

"How is her recovery?" Hearing the word "lover", Shu Feng's heart couldn't help but ache again. He sat aside in a depressed tone and continued to ask.

After learning about her identity from Yan Zong, it was like a bucket of cold water poured down on him, who had a clean family background. Although he had repeatedly said in front of Huan Yu that he wanted to marry her, the elders of the family would definitely not agree to him marrying someone with such a background. However, love has been planted at first sight, how can he forget it? Just like when he saw Miss Si Yao, who was somewhat similar to Huan Yu in temperament, his heart was already in turmoil.

"She's getting better day by day, but after all, she took the Dan Dan, so it will take her two or three years to recover to be a normal person. This is secondary. The most important thing is the flower bite poison in her body..." Hearing that General Shufeng was concerned about Miss Xuanyu's health, Xiaolu was surprised again, but he didn't ask any more questions and answered truthfully.

"Flower bite poison? What kind of poison is this? How did she get poisoned by it?" Shu Feng was startled again when he heard it and asked nervously.

Xiaolu wondered how General Shufeng knew only a little about the matter, and seeing that he kept asking, Xiaolu didn't have time to think and told him everything he knew. Shufeng was shocked and angry when he heard it. He was shocked that a girl like Yanyu had such a tragic fate, and he was also angry at the Yingmen for being so vicious that it was not enough to cripple the person but also to use such a poison that made people's life worse than death.

"So, her sister has gone to the desert to look for medicine?" After a moment's silence, Shu Feng asked again.

"Probably. I haven't heard from her in months."

"I'm going back to Wucheng. I'll inform your prince later. I won't disturb him now." After Xiaolu finished his reply, Shufeng also said something to him and then hurried out of the hall with a heavy heart.

Under the pavilion in the backyard, Si Yao handed the purse she had embroidered to Yan Zong and said with a stiff smile, "I just learned it these few days. It's a forget-me-not. It's a pity that I don't have the talent and can't embroider it well. Please don't despise it."

Yan Zong happily picked up the purse and looked at it carefully. Although the cloth was not of the best quality and the embroidery was very rough, every stitch and thread expressed her love for him. So in his heart, this purse was better than anything else in the world.

"Why do you want to embroider forget-me-not?" Yan Zong asked her affectionately, the joy in his eyes overflowing without any concealment.

"Forget your worries, forget your worries. I hope you will live your life without worries, and be healthy and at peace, free from all diseases." Si Yao also raised her eyes to meet his affectionate gaze and smiled affectionately.

"With Doctor Si Yao by my side, I can feel at ease and healthy, and I will not be attacked by any diseases." Yan Zong's heart was moved, and his feelings were secretly born. His eyes were already flickering. He held her in his arms with one hand and whispered in her ear.

The two of them were very close to each other, and his warm breath fanned her earlobe, which was naturally very arousing. Si Yao's eyes moved around and finally stopped on the thin lips that she had bitten, and she was stunned and speechless.

"Si Yao, I am very happy to receive the purse you embroidered yourself. I will wear it every day in the future, thinking of you and missing you." Yan Zong continued to speak softly with his eyes half closed. His thin lips were close to her cheek. He gently touched her unmade, rosy face with his warm lips, and then slowly moved downwards.

"Si Yao, have you missed me these days?"

"Well, I thought so."

"You know I miss you so much that I can't eat or sleep at night..."

Si Yao tied her hands tightly around his waist, listened to his sweet words, and her face and ears turned red again under his gentle touch, and she was throbbing with excitement.

Although both of them were so nervous that their hearts were beating like drums, they were so cautious and unhurried today, for fear of repeating the embarrassment of the Qixi night. Even when they gently touched each other's lips, they only tasted it lightly and stopped after a while. Seeing Si Yao's eyes half-covered, with a bit of temptation in the blur, Yan Zong couldn't help but be bolder, from tentative touches to lingering sucking, accompanied by the rapid breathing of the two, gradually becoming hot and lingering, as if to relieve the lovesickness of the past few days.

After Yu Cheng sent Shu Feng away, he turned back to the other courtyard and saw Xiao Lu sitting under the porch with a distressed look on his face. He walked up to him and asked in confusion, "Haven't you already made the decision? What are you still worried about?"

"Will Your Highness agree?" Xiaolu smiled bitterly.

"Aren't you usually quite smart? Why can't you think straight today? Are you worried that His Highness will be angry with you with Miss Si Yao here? I don't think there will be any problem if you continue to stay at Sanxiu Pharmacy." Seeing that he was only worried about this, Yu Cheng smiled disapprovingly, then sat down next to him and whispered.

But Xiaolu just remained silent after hearing this. What he wanted was to completely cut off his relationship with the secret guards, but this sentence made it difficult for him to speak.

After a tender and lingering moment, the two held hands again and snuggled together affectionately, quietly watching the fish swimming in the pond and listening to the cicadas and birds singing. The years were peaceful.

"If Xiaolu wants to stay in the medicine shop for the rest of his life, will you let him go?" Si Yao suddenly sat up and asked Yan Zong.

"Do you want me to let him go?" Yan Zong asked gently with a smile in his eyes.

"You must have known about his relationship with Guo Ying for a long time. So why not help them?"

"Si Yao, it's not easy for me to train a secret guard, so I require them to be loyal. If they were all like Xiaolu, I'm afraid the secret guards I have would have dispersed long ago!" Yan Zong raised his hand to help her tidy up her hair that was messed up by the wind, then he sighed and smiled bitterly, "If he just wants to stay in Sanxiu Pharmacy temporarily, I will help him, but if he wants to get rid of his identity as a secret guard, I can't agree even if you plead for him. After all, once a precedent is set, there may be others who will follow suit in the future."

Seeing Yan Zong say this, although Si Yao was worried about Xiao Lu, she also knew that this was his principle as the king and she could not interfere.

"The only way right now is to let him continue to stay in Sanxiu Pharmacy as before." Seeing the worry on Si Yao's face, Yan Zongzi couldn't bear it, so he had to compromise and think of a compromise.
