A life of two souls traveling through time

Si Yao was studying the prescription that her master Sanxiu had written for Lian Qi when she was suddenly pulled by Shuixian to an empty front yard. She wanted to ask him questions but he suddenly knelt in front of her. She was so frightened that she took two steps back and looked at him in confusion.

"Back then, the people of Lianjia Village were ignorant and wrongly accused you, forcing you to leave. Today, I will apologize to Miss Siyao on their behalf."

"Miss Narcissus, there's no need to be like this. It's been so long since the incident happened that I've already forgotten about it." Si Yao sighed helplessly and reached out to help the other person up.

"Ms. Si Yao, please save Brother Lian Qi?" But Narcissus did not stand up but just held Si Yao's hand and continued crying.

"Miss Narcissus, please get up first. My master will do his best to cure Lian Qi's illness..." Narcissus kept pulling her hands together and Si Yao was at a loss as she couldn't get free.

"Miss Si Yao, don't you understand? Brother Lian Qi's worry is about you!" Without waiting for Si Yao to finish, Narcissus continued to cry. Although telling the truth would make her heart break, she was willing to give up her love even if it meant pain, in order for Lian Qi to survive.

Narcissus' words made Si Yao stunned. She had always regarded Lian Qi as a friend and never thought about love between men and women. She also never thought that Lian Qi had hidden such feelings from her.

The carriage outside the medicine shop had been parked for nearly half an hour. The horse in front of the carriage had become a little impatient and was making a slight restlessness. Fortunately, the coachman was able to control it. Seeing that there was still no movement in the carriage, Yu Cheng had to secretly go to find Xiaolu. Xiaolu was also surprised when he heard what happened. When did their prince become so childish?

"Sister Si Yao, the prince is still waiting for you outside." Xiao Lu hurriedly stepped forward and said when he saw Si Yao was alone.

"What are you waiting for me for?" Si Yao was surprised. The prince hadn't left yet?

"Hehe, Sister Siyao, why don't you go and take a look?" Xiaolu also looked embarrassed. He couldn't tell His Highness that he was angry because she didn't consider him, so he could only persuade her with a smile.

Looking at Xiaolu's hesitant expression, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to say goodbye to King Zong in a hurry after getting off the car. It was indeed rude to be so lazy. Thinking of this, Si Yao turned around and walked out of the medicine store.

Yan Zong, who had been silent in the carriage for a long time, suddenly sighed, then raised his hand and knocked twice on the window. He waited for half an hour but still did not hear her say goodbye belatedly. He thought she was delayed by the affairs in the medicine shop, and at the same time he was annoyed by his inexplicable willfulness.

The two knocking sounds from inside the car alerted Yu Cheng, who was waiting outside. Seeing that Si Yao had not appeared yet, he had to ask the driver to turn around.

"Your Highness, Miss Si Yao is here." Just as the carriage turned around and was about to leave, Si Yao appeared outside the medicine shop. Yu Cheng happily jumped off the carriage and rushed inside to reply. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that the path began to work in this medicine shop.

Through the hazy gauze window, Yan Zong looked expectantly at the cool and graceful figure walking towards him, his heart beating violently. The battle-hardened prince had never been as nervous as he was at this moment when facing thousands of troops on the battlefield, although he didn't want to admit it.

"The situation was urgent just now and Si Yao did not have time to thank the King. I hope the King will forgive Si Yao's neglect." Si Yao stood outside the car window, bowed slightly, and said in a clear voice.

"It's okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I have nothing to do today so I just want to enjoy the scenery here." Through the gauze window, Yan Zong concealed his panic with a majestic voice.

Yu Cheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard the lie his prince told: Yes, I stood there looking at the scenery through the gauze window for half an hour.

After seeing Si Yao again, Yan Zong left with satisfaction.

The pharmacy was about to close, so the patients left one after another. Only the seriously ill Lian Qi and Narcissus who accompanied him stayed.

"Junior sister, Master is looking for you in the study." Si Yao just returned to the pharmacy when she met Xiu Ming walking towards her. Xiu Ming was already exhausted after a busy day, but he still smiled when he looked at Si Yao.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Si Yao smiled faintly and nodded to his senior brother Xiu Ming, then went to the backyard.

"Master, are you looking for me?" Arriving in the study, Si Yao bowed respectfully to Sanxiu.

"Is this Lian Qi your friend?" Sanxiu put down the medical book in his hand and asked directly when he saw Si Yao.

"Yes, he is also my archery teacher. He is very good at archery." Si Yao nodded frankly.

"Your archery skills are so good, I guess it's because you met a good teacher. But looking at Lian Qi who is almost dying in front of me, it's hard for me to imagine him pulling the bow and arrow. What a pity!" Sanxiu shook his head and sighed with regret.

"Master, Lian Qi, take him seriously..."

"Don't worry. Master also said that the root of Lian Qi's illness lies in his heart, not his body. He can only be saved if he cooperates with Master wholeheartedly." Seeing Si Yao's worried face, Sanxiu hurriedly comforted him in a gentle voice.

"Heart disease..." Si Yao recalled what Narcissus said to her and sighed helplessly again.

"Do you know what's bothering him?" Seeing his disciple sigh, Sanxiu's curiosity suddenly surged again.

"I know. I'll give it a try." Si Yao said as he walked out of the study.

Sanxiu looked at his apprentice's leaving figure, wanting to say something but stopping himself, then shook his sleeves in disappointment: Can't you tell me first?

There is a small courtyard in the backyard of the pharmacy specially for overnight patients. When Si Yao came, Lian Qi had just woken up. Narcissus felt sad when she saw the light in Lian Qi's eyes when he saw Si Yao, but at the same time she was grateful to Si Yao for agreeing to her request, so she quietly left the room before the two of them talked.

Si Yao came to Lian Qi's bed and sat down. Without waiting for Lian Qi to speak, she took his pulse again. After taking the medicine prescribed by the master, his pulse had recovered. Si Yao then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Lian Qi forced a smile after Si Yao finished taking his pulse. At this moment, he was extremely skinny, and when he smiled, the skin on his face wrinkled like an old man. It was hard to believe that he was just a young man in his early twenties.

“If Master Lian Qi doesn’t want to make Si Yao worry, he should listen to my master, let go of his obsession, and cooperate with the treatment.” Si Yao looked at Lian Qi with a cold expression and said in a calm voice.

"Ayao..." Lian Qi panicked when he saw Si Yao suddenly become distant with him. He tried to get up with difficulty but was held down by Si Yao.

"No matter where I go, I will always remember Lianjia Village, Aunt Mute who saved me, and my first friend, you, Lian Qi. I have not neglected the archery you taught me. I go to the back mountain to practice for half an hour every morning."

Si Yao's sincere words made Lian Qi happy and disappointed. Friend? Yes, what else could it be if not a friend? A woman who could be worthy of A Yao, a rare woman in the world, must be a great man like the king. He was blessed by God to be regarded as a friend by her.

When Lian Qi saw Yan Zongshi in the carriage today, he gradually came to his senses. Si Yao's words at this moment made him completely relieved. Seeing that Si Yao now had the protection of Sanxiu Pharmacy and the company of Prince Zong, the worries and guilt hidden in his heart were slowly let go.
