The next day, at dawn, everyone had breakfast and continued on their journey. Murong Xuanyi still found various reasons to let Yuan Ying sit in a carriage with him.

Yuan Ying was concentrating on reading the medical book given by the old man, while Murong Xuanyi was looking at her carefully beside her.

She has delicate features, picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth! There is not a single beard on her delicate face, not even a pore, and she has no Adam's apple!

How come he hadn't noticed such obvious feminine features before? He was really stupid.

If he hadn't run into her taking a shower, he would have missed her in this life.

I'm glad I went to the reservoir that day. Thinking of this, Murong Xuanyi laughed happily.

When Yuan Ying heard Murong Xuanyi's inexplicable smile, he looked at him puzzledly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying with burning eyes and said, "Xiaoying, do you believe in fate?"

Yuan Ying frowned and looked at him for a moment, but did not answer his boring question and continued reading her book.

"The most interesting thing is the infinite gaze, as if we have seen each other before in our previous life!"

"I believe in fate. Just like you and me, I saved you and you helped me solve the plague. This is the fate destined by God." Murong Xuanyi looked at her bluntly.

Yuan Ying put away the book silently, moved his butt silently, and kept a certain distance from Murong Xuanyi.

She felt that Murong Xuanyi either had a problem with his brain or his sexual orientation.

The ancients seemed conservative, but they were actually very playful... especially the aristocrats.

Murong Xuanyi saw Yuan Ying's deliberate distance. He smiled helplessly, it seemed that he couldn't rush things.

It’s okay, he has plenty of patience and she will definitely like him.

He looked at the medical book in her hand and said, "I have studied medicine before, but I am not very good at it." He was telling the truth.

"My mother is the daughter of a merchant. My grandfather was a merchant who was as rich as a country. My father had just ascended the throne and the country was weak. There were constant wars and the treasury was empty, so he had to marry a merchant's daughter to fill the treasury.

Because my mother was the daughter of a merchant, my father married her but did not favor her, leaving her alone in an empty room for many years, and he also disliked me.

My mother didn’t favor me and I was often bullied. I was often sick when I was a child. My mother thought it was because of my weak constitution, so she insisted that I study medicine so that I could take care of myself.

Now I think that someone didn't want me to live. But that was not my ambition. At that time, I just wanted to make achievements and become a support for my mother, so that my father would look up to me.

When I was 13, I followed General Zhennan to the Northern Desert Military Camp and stayed there for ten years.

Murong Xuanyi spoke calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

It seems that the royal family is not having a good time either. Although Yuan Ying didn't understand why he told her this, she still comforted him symbolically: "Everything is fine, and you have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship you've endured."

In the past ten years, he has made countless achievements and made great military achievements, which frightened the Hu people. His father finally noticed that he had such a son and began to pay attention to him. He was also the first prince to be crowned king.

He thought everything would be fine, and his mother would live a good life thanks to her son. But three years ago, he received the news of his mother's death in the military camp. He was ultimately unable to become his mother's support, and was unable to save his grandfather's big family.

Murong Xuanyi smiled bitterly. He told her all this just because he wanted her to know him better. Apart from his status as a prince, he was not bad either.

Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying lovingly and said, "Yes! You are right. I have finally gotten my reward after all the hardships. Things will get better and better in the future. I will marry the person I love and have children."

Yuan Ying stared at him in surprise and asked, "You're not married yet? How old are you?"

"I'm twenty-six this year, why do I look so old?" Murong Xuanyi was speechless. Could it be that this girl thinks he is too old?

Compared to the people around him, he is indeed older. But they are still a good match in age.

Even though Yuan Ying was a bit thick-skinned, he knew that no matter whether men or women, they didn't like being called old.

He quickly said, "No, no, it's just that people in your area...people here get married very early. It's rare to see someone as young as you who's still unmarried."

The last time the boy got married at the age of 17, he was still not married at 26, so there must be something wrong with him. She glanced at his lower abdomen casually, oh! She understood.

Murong Xuanyi was speechless and said, "What are you thinking about? You are also twenty-three and you are not married yet, right?"

"I'm different. In my hometown, women must be 20 and men must be 22 to get married. Otherwise, they are not protected by the law. And there are many people who never get married."

No marriage? Is there anything so unbelievable?

Murong Xuanyi asked curiously: "What kind of place is yours? It's so strange!"

Yuan Ying paused and said, "It is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is peaceful and strong; everyone is equal there, and it has a large population, vast land, and is full of vitality..."

Yuan Ying introduced China brilliantly, his eyes firm and proud.

Murong Xuanyi was shocked by her words that everyone is equal. Is there really such a place?

After a while, he said with some anticipation: "Such a beautiful place, you must take me to see it in the future, okay?"

Yuan Ying did not respond. Her face, which had just been shining, was now shrouded in gloom. She might never be able to return to such a beautiful place in her lifetime.

Murong Xuanyi hissed.

Yuan Ying asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"I accidentally pulled the wound. Can you help me see if it's bleeding?" Murong Xuanyi lied.

He didn't know what was wrong with her, but he didn't like her unhappy look. He hoped she would always be sunny.

Yuan Ying carefully took off his clothes and examined the wound. There was no bleeding and the swelling had subsided. It was much better than yesterday.

She helped him straighten his robe and said, "It's okay. It's much better than yesterday. Be careful not to bump into it again."

Murong Xuanyi now understood her temperament: cold-faced but warm-hearted, soft-hearted, kind-hearted, and responsible. He thought about how they would get along in the future: he would pretend to be pitiful and show weakness more often.

Yuan Ying looked out the window and inadvertently glanced at the prison van that was escorting County Magistrate Zhu. The person inside had disheveled hair and kept the same posture. Out of her professional sensitivity, she noticed something was wrong, but she didn't ask any more questions.

He retracted his gaze and asked Murong Xuanyi: "How long will it take to get to the capital?"

Murong Xuanyi said: "More than a month!"

Yuan Ying sighed inwardly: It's only the second day, oh! Her old waist is going to be broken from sitting.

The shock absorption effect of ancient horse-drawn carriages was poor. Even though Murong Xuanyi's carriage, which was as luxurious as a palace, was equipped with shock absorption treatment, it was still tiring to sit in. Even modern luxury cars would not be much better if you sat in them for a month.

In order to save time for lunch, they all found a place on the road to eat some dry food, rested for a while, and then continued on their journey.

Old Man Hua has been observing Murong Xuanyi's movements. This kid monopolizes Xiaoying every day, and his diligence is like a male dog having fun.

Suddenly, a bad thought flashed through my mind. Could it be that this guy knew that Xiaoying was a girl and he fell in love with her?

Hua Qiansong's face sank. How could this be possible! There was no good person in their Murong family. How could Xiaoying be with such a person?

So he shouted to Murong Xuanyi's carriage, "Little Eagle, come here! The master has something to ask you."

Yuan Ying was also very happy to hear her master calling her, and immediately came to Old Man Hua and asked, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Old Man Hua said angrily, "Well! Let me test you to see how you read the medical books."

Yuan Ying used his photographic memory to answer old man Hua's questions fluently.

Old Man Hua said with a look of satisfaction: "Well, not bad! You can read some books in my car recently. Medical skills are acquired through daily practice."

Yuan Ying nodded eagerly.

Murong Xuanyi in the next carriage was not happy with this. He asked Jiang Chong to ask Yuan Ying to come and change the medicine for him.

I spent the whole afternoon running back and forth, listening to the calls of the two.

Murong Xuanyi could see that this old man was definitely doing it on purpose. He had to think of a way.

As the sky gradually darkened, the large group stopped at a place called Xinghan Town. Jiang Chong still had someone book the entire inn in advance. After entering the inn and having dinner, the waiter prepared bath water and the group washed up.

Yuan Ying locked the door, yawned, and lay down on the bed but did not sleep. She was waiting for Murong Xuanyi to come and call her to change the medicine.

After waiting for a long time and no one came to call her, she had to go to sleep, but she didn't sleep well the whole night.
