Ruo Ruo felt so much pain that she closed her eyes and leaned into Qin Zhiqing's embrace. When she arrived at Hu Lang's house, she knocked on the door and it opened very quickly.

After checking her pulse, Ruo Ruo heard the doctor say, "Young master, I'm afraid my wife is poisoned."

Ruo Ruo's mind rumbled. Actually, she had already thought of this a long time ago, but after hearing the husband say it himself, she understood in her heart. Yun Ru Xi, she wanted her dead.

"Is there any way to solve this?" Qin Zhiqing's voice was still calm, but when the doctor said that she had been poisoned, Ruo Ruo could feel his body tremble.

"Young master should go invite a better doctor. I only know that my wife was poisoned. As for what poison it is, I'm afraid. This is the first time I've seen it in my many years of practicing medicine."

"Does that Hu Lang have any medicine to relieve the pain?" As Qin Zhiqing spoke, he lifted his arm and gently wiped Ruo Ruo's forehead with his sleeve. Although she didn't make a sound, the small beads of sweat on her forehead told him how much pain Ruo Ruo was in.

"Yes, but you need to treat him for a moment and not cure him. Young master, you have to think of a way as soon as possible." Hu Lang didn't hide anything. He took some grinded medicine from the medicine box and gave it to Xiu Wanru who was beside him. "This medicine hurts. Drink it once, but don't drink too much. Try your best …" Pausing for a moment, he looked at Zhiruo and frowned, "Young Master should invite her in quickly."

Ruo Ruo slowly opened her eyes. It was so painful, "Hu Lang Zhong, thank you." Although this doctor didn't cure her, he was quite frank with her.

However, just as she finished speaking, her chest tightened and a salty feeling rose up in her throat. She spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered on Qin Zhiqing's clothes.

Qin Zhiqing's expression suddenly changed. He could not be bothered with the blood on his clothes, and was about to leave.

Behind him, Hu Lang Zhong suddenly said, "Sir, this old man can recommend a person to you. Perhaps, he can cure your wife's poison."

Suddenly, he turned around and asked anxiously: "Who is it?"

"Have you heard of Medicine Valley's Li Fengyin?"

"Does Hu Lang Zhong know him?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Qin Zhiqing's eyes. He had heard of this Li Fengyin before. He was an expert at detoxifying poisons. Any poison that fell into his hands would be completely eliminated. Hence, he gave him the nickname of Poison Immortal.

"En, we have met once before, I have written a letter and you can bring it to Pill King Valley to find him. Perhaps, the poison in your wife's body can be cured."

"Really?" Li Feng Yin was known for being a strange doctor, detoxifying other people's poisons based on his own preferences. If he was happy, he would treat it, but if he was unhappy he would ignore him, even if he died in Pill King Valley.

Hu Lang nodded, "This old man has never recommended a patient to Li Feng. This is the first time for your wife. I think he will at least give me some face." With that, he looked at Ruo Ruo, "This old man doesn't have much ability, and I'm unable to save your wife. But not only did your wife not complain, she even thanked me, which is why this old man did this."

If she could hear him clearly, she wouldn't be able to say anything now. The pain in her heart had already spread to every part of her body.

He could hear the rustling of the pen, but he couldn't concentrate anymore.

The pain made her faint.

He didn't know anything, didn't know anything. In a trance, he was hugged tightly by a man. The whistling of the wind was next to his ears, and it was the sound of a man's breathing.

He was terrified.

But there was nothing she could do.

The only thing waiting for her was the boundless pain. She wanted to open her eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.

He didn't know how long he walked for, but after he was placed on a soft bed, a sweet liquid slowly flowed into his mouth, making him swallow it involuntarily.

She must have slept for a long time. She tried to move, but she was still unable to do so. Only, she vaguely felt that there was someone moving around her.

"Young master, all the roads leading to the Medicine Sovereign Valley have been sealed off by the imperial government. It seems like it will be difficult to go there."

"There are no breakthroughs on the arid road?"

"We do have access to water, but we'll have to trouble young master and the third miss."

"No worries, then let's take the water route."

"Alright, this subordinate will go and make the arrangements."

"Yes." The man replied, and then immediately followed by the sound of retreating footsteps, there was a moment of silence in the room, and then another spoonful of sweet honey water was brought to Zhiruo's lips, "Zhiruo, it won't hurt if you drink it obediently. Zhiruo, wake up, do you know? You scared me. " The gentle and worried male voice revealed his concern for her everywhere. It was great that she was here.

She wanted to say that she had woken up, she wanted to say that she didn't want to scare him, but she couldn't. Her lips moved, and she struggled to swallow the honey water that Qin Zhiqing had given her to drink.

It was also honey water. Why were they all like that? Drinking it made her want to cry.

"Zhiruo, we'll be at the Medicine Valley in a few dozen more miles. If the Dry Road doesn't work, then we'll have to go by the Water Road. Zhiruo, you'll definitely be fine." A finger gently landed on her face, slowly moving across her smooth and tender skin, leaving behind a smell that belonged to Qin Zhiqing. His voice and his fingers made her feel warm.

Qing Qing, with your words, even if I were to go, I would have no regrets.

As long as he did his best, he wouldn't regret anything.

I miss home, I miss that big family in the monastery, I wish I could put it back on.

But you are not there.

His body was lifted up once again. It was so clear that it was him who carried her out of the room.

The light step was to board the boat, and then came the sound of water, the sound of the oars paddling.

The air in the surroundings instantly became clear and the pain in her heart lessened. If she knew, it was because Qin Zhiqing had helped her consume the medicine that Hu Lang had given her.

However, that medicine was ultimately unable to treat the root of the problem. It was useless.

"Ruo Ruo, you're awake, aren't you?"

The gentle voice of Qin Zhiqing traveled to her ears. It was so pleasing to the ear. With Qingqing here, she would truly be at ease. Even if it was painful, she would be at ease.

She wanted to speak, to tell him that she was awake, but the pain of opening her mouth made it difficult for her to speak.

"Ruo Ruo, if you wake up, then move your thumb. Hehe, then I'll know that you're awake, and I'll be relieved."

She obediently gave him a thumbs up, and her hand was immediately grabbed by Qin Zhiqing. "Ruo Ruo, we're almost there. We'll be thirty miles along the water path. When the time comes, I'll definitely get Li Feng to remove the poison for you."

When she heard his voice, she felt as if her pain had been brushed away. However, that pain only lasted for a moment before it returned, causing her to frown uncontrollably.

He was looking at her, because even with his eyes closed, she could feel his burning gaze, as though he wanted to see the depths of her heart.

He held his hand. Other than the sound of the water oars, there was only tranquility on the boat. This tranquility, however, made one's heart race.

After walking for another ten minutes, Qin Zhiqing didn't say anything else. However, he didn't let go of her hand.

"Young master, a boat is coming."

The hand holding her relaxed slightly. Qin Zhiqing's footsteps could be heard on the deck. He then spoke in a hushed tone, "Is it the official's boat?"

"I think it's like an elephant. Such a big ship is not something ordinary people can have. Young master, what should we do?"

When she heard the anxiety in the person's voice, Qin Zhiqing remained calm. "Don't worry, I'll go into the water with him and avoid the boat as per our agreement."

"Gongzi, can the third miss handle being in the water?"

"Don't worry, I'll hold her. I won't let anything happen to her." His voice was neither panicked nor panicked, but it was as if he panicked. She was a landlubber, she didn't know how to swim.

Qin Zhiqing returned very quickly, "Zhiruo, let's go into the water. Don't worry, I'll always be carrying you. You just need to lean on me. I definitely won't let the government discover that you were being taken away."

Then he picked her up, as if he had gone to the stern, and slid into the water along the edge of the boat, but his hands were tight around her.

Water filled her surroundings. The water under the sunlight was so warm that it made her feel like an infant as she floated on the surface of the water.

"Young master, the boat is coming. Quickly hide under the buoy."

Hearing this, Zhiruo only felt her body being pulled along by Qin Zhiqing as the two of them started to sink. In a moment, only their heads and faces were revealed before they were covered by a buoy.

He did not know if this would work, but it was the only way to avoid the official ship.

The boat was still rowing when the voice of the huge ship called out, "Stop the boat, check the routine."

Her heart was beating in the water, accompanied by her panic. She could only hope that the empress's people were not here, and that Xi Men Rui Xue was not as well. However, someone who was more afraid of her actually opened his mouth at this time, "Get on the boat and search for me."

He had actually caught up with Xi Men Rui Xue.

The clatter of footsteps could be heard as soldiers climbed onto the boat. The sudden surge of soldiers caused the boat to sway involuntarily.

Under the buoy, Qin Zhiqing's hand was holding onto a handle on the side of the boat tightly. Ruo Ruo was leaning her head against Qin Zhiqing, and at this moment, she couldn't even bear to breathe.

"Crown Prince, no."

"Search again. Search carefully. Not a single corner can be left unsearched."

Xi Men Rui Xue was so ruthless. Did she not want to let her go?

She really did not know that she had such charm. She could actually make the crown prince, Xi Men Rui Xue, give chase without any trouble.

The boat started to shake violently again. Ruo Ruo could hear someone knocking on the boat board, but the buoy above her head was still there. It firmly covered her and Qin Zhiqing's heads and faces.
