Traveling through the ancient times

Now the people of Xiliang are eyeing us covetously. I don’t know whether the King of Xiliang will send someone, and when someone will come.

Now Nian Chuhua and several others are seriously injured in bed. If they are found by those people, they will be in danger. He dare not delay outside any longer.

Even though he had already dispatched many people over there, he still wanted to be with them in person so that he could feel at ease.

Lu Mingqian rode back and forth at full speed, and it took him a total of ten days to deal with the Huai'an prefect and Wu Ming's twenty assassins.

After returning to Qidong County, their conditions had basically stabilized and the wounds had scabbed over. All they had to do now was rest well and wait for the wounds to heal completely.

Lu Mingqian had Lu Mingcheng's boat cleaned up and checked inside and out to make sure it was safe to sail.

He didn't want Chu Nianhua and the others to stay in Qidong County to recuperate. Although he had deployed personnel there, there were many injured people. He was worried that if they were found by the Xiliang people, they would not be able to take care of them. It would be safer for them to return to Qunan as soon as possible.

Most of their wounds have scabbed over, so there shouldn't be any problem returning by boat as long as the boat isn't too bumpy.

The fruits that were collected at the beginning of the year were thrown everywhere, and some were broken, because of the torpedo explosion, which caused the hull to shake.

The guards cleaned up the fruits one by one and threw out the bad ones. They had worked hard all day to harvest the fruits, but now one third of them were gone.

Although the guards checked the hull and found nothing wrong, Lu Mingqian was still worried that there might be something missing.

So he asked the county magistrate to arrange a boat for them, and all the wounded were placed on that boat. Lu Mingqian was afraid of any accidents on the way, so he also found two doctors from Qidong County to go with them, just in case.

All matters were ready, and the group officially set off. During the voyage, Nian Chuhua wanted to get out of bed to see Hua Ling, but was stopped by Lu Mingqian. "Although the wound has scabbed over, you can't move too much. After all, the ship is not land. If you don't stand firmly and the wound splits, you will suffer more."

"It's okay, I'll just walk slowly, I just want to go and take a look..." Hua Ling was seriously injured, and Nian Chuhua has been worried about her these past few days.

"I checked on you, and the doctor said that although her injuries were serious, fortunately no vital parts were hurt, and she will recover after resting for a few days." Lu Mingqian checked on each member of their group one by one and asked the doctor about their conditions in detail. None of their injuries were less serious than anyone else's.

Only Qi Muhe had a broken leg. Although the others were seriously injured, they were all flesh wounds and no bones were broken.

"Where's Ruixue? How is she? And Lu Mingcheng, Qi Muhe and the others." Nian Chuhua was very worried about each and every one of them.

Lu Mingqian told Nian Chuhua about their situations. "It's almost the same as yours. Qi Muhe's leg bone is broken. The doctor has fixed it for him, but it takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal. He needs to recover slowly."

"It's all my fault..." If she hadn't insisted on coming to Huai'an to purchase fruits, Qi Muhe wouldn't have been injured so seriously, Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng wouldn't have come here to pick her up, and she wouldn't have suffered this unexpected disaster.

And Hua Lingmingyue and the other guards, it was all because of her stubbornness. If they had listened to Qi Muhe and returned to Qunan directly when they were assassinated, it would have been better.

As Chushulhua thought about it, tears as big as beans flowed down her eyes. Lu Mingqian quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Don't blame yourself so much. This was an accident. No one had expected it."

Lu Mingqian clumsily wiped away the tears for Nian Chuhua, but the more he wiped, the harder she cried, and her tears flowed like pearls from a broken string.

So many people were seriously injured because of her, how could she not feel guilty and blame herself.

"It's all my fault. I will never travel far again." Chushulhua was really scared. The scenes on the boat that day were still vivid in her mind.

She watched everyone fall down again and again, and stand up again and again, until they were seriously injured and fell in a pool of blood, with their life or death uncertain. She was very scared, afraid that they would never get up again.

Lu Mingqian wanted to hold Nian Chuhua in his arms, but he was afraid to touch her wound, so he could only hold her hand with one hand and wipe away her tears with the other hand. "Don't be afraid, everyone is here, no one is missing. When we get back, I will arrange more people to protect you."

"Please stay away from me. I feel like I'm a disaster star. Anyone who gets close to me will get hurt because of me." The last time Hua Ling was injured was also because of protecting her.

"I don't allow you to talk about yourself like that, this was an accident, no one blames you, and you are not allowed to blame yourself.

On the contrary, I think you are my lucky star. Since I met you, I have gained a lot of things that I never had before. Isn't it because of you that Hua Ling and her mother were saved? "

"No, we encountered assassins on the way to Huai'an. Qi Muhe told me to meet Qunan first, but I refused and insisted on going. As a result, everyone got hurt. Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng also encountered these things because they came to pick me up. I hurt everyone!"

At the beginning of the year, Hua felt both guilty and afraid, and could not stop crying. Her injuries were so serious that her body was already weak, and she was so sad and excited that she fell asleep soon.

Lu Mingqian quickly called a doctor to check Nianchuhua's pulse. "Miss, you fainted because you were too worried and weak. I'll prescribe a calming medicine for you to drink later. Young Master, you should be more relaxed and don't be too sad."

"Okay, thank you, doctor!" The guard led the doctor downstairs to get the medicine and boil it.

Lu Mingqian sat in front of the bed, brushed the loose hair on Nian Chuhua's forehead behind her ears. There were still tears in the corners of her eyes. Lu Mingqian asked someone to bring hot water, soaked a handkerchief, and gently wiped Nian Chuhua's cheeks.

Chushulhua did not sleep well. Sometimes she dreamed about what happened on the boat that day, and sometimes about being assassinated in the dark. She was muttering something, and Lu Mingqian put his ear close to listen, but he could not hear clearly.

Nian Chuhua was so frightened that her brows were tightly furrowed. No matter how hard Lu Mingqian tried to wipe them away, he couldn't. He could only hold her hand tightly to give her warmth and strength.

The guards brought in the decocted sedative. Lu Mingqian placed a pillow under Nianchuhua's head to raise her head a little. He picked up the medicine bowl, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, blew on it, and fed it to Nianchuhua.

But Chushihua's teeth were clenched so tightly that he couldn't be fed unless he loosened his teeth. After feeding him two spoonfuls in a row, the food just flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

Lu Mingqian wiped the leaked medicine with a handkerchief, looked at Nian Chuhua and sighed. How could he not take medicine? But he had no way to wake Nian Chuhua up.

Lu Mingqian looked at Nian Nianhua who was tormented by nightmares. He picked up the medicine bowl, took a sip, leaned down, lifted Nian Nianhua's jaw with his hand, put his lips on Nian Nianhua's mouth, and exerted a little force, forcing Nian Nianhua's clenched teeth to open, and the medicine flowed into Nian Nianhua's mouth.

After feeding the whole bowl of medicine, Lu Mingqian used a handkerchief to wipe the remaining medicine on Nian Nianhua's mouth, tucked in the quilt for Nian Nianhua, and left the room with the bowl of medicine.

If someone noticed Lu Mingqian at this moment, they would see that the Third Prince's face had turned red to his ears.
