Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

The gate of the courtyard was open, and two guards with swords stood on either side of the gate. They saw a carriage parked outside and five people got out, led by Ding Quanwei, the magistrate of Shangyou County.

The five of them walked up the steps, and County Magistrate Ding bowed to the two guards and said, "Please inform the Fifth Prince that a good friend of his named Han Luochen has come from Hongsha City and is here to visit today."

Han Luochen walked over and handed the post in his hand to the guard who was about to report.

He took the note and walked into the courtyard. A quarter of an hour later, the guard came out and said to the five of them, "The Fifth Prince wants to see you."

The guard led a few people through a pavilion, walked along the corridor next to it, and came to a beautiful courtyard.

Luo Chen walked in front and saw from afar five people standing on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard. Two of them were servants and there were two guards. The handsome young man in the middle had a face like a carefully carved jade, white and delicate. He was a handsome man with a slightly sickly look on his face, which made him look even more charming.

It really fits the saying: The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.

He saw several people coming in, his eyes fixed on the man in the front. He opened his thin lips and called softly, "Luo Chen, I finally see you. We haven't seen each other for 3 to 4 years."

Luo Chen walked up the steps quickly, went over to support him, and said softly, "Your Highness, you are still sick, why bother standing at the door to greet us? Go in and lie down. Have you taken medicine for a few days? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm much better, but I don't have much strength in my body and I still have a slight cough. I'll get better soon when I see you come to see me." After saying that, he coughed a few times.

As he was talking, he saw four people following behind. He knew County Magistrate Ding. The man walking on the right was a man with noble temperament. He was tall and straight, with an imposing manner. He did not look like an ordinary person at first glance.

Among the two women, there was an extremely beautiful girl, with fair and delicate skin, as smooth as white jade, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were as clear as lake water, shining with wisdom, her nose was high, her lips were red and her teeth were white, she wore no makeup, but was elegant and refined. I couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and I was amazed that there were such beautiful women in the world.

The four of them came forward and bowed, then entered the living room together. After everyone sat down in the living room, Luo Chen introduced him, "This is Chen Chen, who made great contributions in the capture of the three cities. He is a rare and powerful general."

Then he introduced, "This one is Chen Biyue, my savior, and that one is his personal maid Xiaomai."

The Fifth Prince looked at Bi Yue twice more. The more he looked, the faster his heart beat. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

The fifth prince's two personal servants quickly served tea to the few people.

Luo Chen said to Jiang Shaoxuan, "Your Highness, you caught a cold on the road, and it may take a while. There is a saying that goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. I will be here with you for the next few days. When you recover, we will go to Hongsha City together."

"That's great. I haven't heard from you for several years. I have a lot to tell you."

"Okay, then I will talk to Your Highness for three days and three nights."

After that, he walked over to Bi Yue and sat down, and said to her softly, "Yue'er, can you take his pulse and diagnose his condition?"

"of course."

After saying that, he stood up from his seat, walked to Jiang Shaoxuan, brushed his body towards him, and then said, "I know some medical skills. Can I take your pulse?"

The Fifth Prince saw Bi Yue coming over, looked at her with a smile, and replied, "Of course I believe in Luo Chen and you, please."

Bi Yue saw that Jiang Shaoxuan agreed, then she sat next to him. He stretched out his hand and placed it on the small table next to him. Bi Yue took out a small cloth pillow from her arms and placed it under his hand, then she stretched out her right hand and placed it on his wrist. Through the thousand-layer mirror, she saw that he had mild pneumonia. No wonder his condition recurred and took a long time to recover.

After knowing the condition, she took her hand back and said softly to him, "Your Highness, you have mild pneumonia. It was caused by a cold at the beginning. It has been delayed for a long time, and the cough has not stopped, causing lung inflammation. If you trust me, I will prepare two days' supply of medicine for you. After you take it, you will be cured."

"Miss Chen was brought here by Luo Chen, so I naturally believe you."

Bi Yue took out a small porcelain bottle from her locker, which contained two days' worth of medicine. She handed the bottle to Jiang Shaoxuan and said to him, "Your Highness, there are six pills in this bottle. Take one pill three times a day, and you will recover in two days."

After hearing what the beautiful girl said, Jiang Shaoxuan took out two silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Biyue, "Miss Chen, this is for your medicine money, please accept it."

When she saw that it was a silver note for 200 taels, she thought the Fifth Prince was quite generous, so she accepted the note without hesitation.

Luo Chen poured a glass of water into the cup, and the fifth prince took out a pill the size of a peanut from the porcelain bottle and swallowed it with the water.

The pill gave off a light fragrance. After swallowing it, my stomach felt warm and comfortable. Then I said to them, "You all came from afar. I'm sure you haven't had lunch yet. I was so busy talking that I forgot to ask the servants to serve the meal."

So he ordered his personal guards to tell the servants to serve the meal quickly.

The county magistrate stood up, walked to the Fifth Prince, saluted, and said to him respectfully, "Your Highness, the person has been sent here. I have something else to do in the yamen, so I will take my leave now. I hope you will recover soon."

"Well, then you go back first." The county magistrate went out with another guard.

Luo Chen said to Jiang Shaoxuan, "Your Highness, you just took the medicine, you should lie down here and rest for a while. Let's go eat first, and then I'll come over to accompany you later."

"Okay, you go."

Led by the guards, they went to the dining hall. After the food was served, the four of them sat down and started eating without any hesitation.

Bi Yue put down her chopsticks after drinking a bowl of soup. The other three had good appetites. After eating, they came to the Fifth Prince's small living room. He was leaning on a chaise longue, and on the small table next to him was a bowl of steaming Chinese medicine. The servant who brought the medicine was standing next to him, as if urging his master to drink it.

Bi Yue saw this and hurried over to him and said, "Fifth Prince, if you take my medicine, you don't need to take other medicines. If you trust me, stop taking all the other medicines."

After hearing what Bi Yue said, the Fifth Prince said to the servant beside him, "Take this bowl of medicine away and pour it out. There is no need to boil the other medicines, and there is no need to call a doctor. Just do as I say."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the servants left, how many people sat down? The fifth prince asked Luo Chen to tell him in detail about the disappearances in the past few years.

Luo Chen couldn't persuade him, so he had to tell him his experiences of the past few years like telling a story. After learning about this, he was deeply moved. He felt that Luo Chen was really lucky to survive after drifting to the sea. He was really blessed by God and was rescued by Bi Yue.

The fifth prince said to Luo Chen angrily, "If the border war doesn't break out this time, will you stay on that nameless island and never come back for the rest of your life? You didn't even send me a message, which made me worry so much that I thought you were dead. I was sad for a long time because of this."

"Your Highness, in fact, I only remembered some things sporadically at the beginning. Three years later, by chance, I recovered all my memories. It was less than three months after I recovered all my memories. Unexpectedly, a war broke out at the border, and Yue'er, Chen Chen and others came here together."
