A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Chapter 54 It’s Her Regret

In the carriage, Lin Qinghuan, holding Lin Yuzhi's arm, stared at Ning Xiaoqi who was sitting opposite them.

Lin Mo sat next to Ning Xiaoqi and looked at the two girls throwing tantrums at a loss. They were the same age and had an unspeakable relationship with Lin Yuzhi.

"What are you going to do in Yinan?" Lin Qinghuan had always been annoyed by the number of people following him, and now the seventh princess, who would be his eldest brother's future wife, had come.

"I'm going to visit my relatives." Ning Xiaoqi looked at Lin Qinghuan and said.

"What kind of relatives are you going to visit?" Lin Qinghuan said unhappily.

"Only your Lin family can have relatives in Yinan, so why can't our royal family have relatives?" Ning Xiaoqi said.

"Big brother, are you hungry? Have some rice cakes." Lin Qinghuan didn't want to waste time on Ning Xiaoqi, so he took out a rice cake from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yuzhi.

"Well, you two should have some too." Lin Yuzhi didn't notice Lin Qinghuan's strangeness, and generously handed the box of rice cakes to the Seventh Princess and Lin Mo opposite.

"Big brother, drink some water." Seeing Lin Yuzhi like this, Lin Qinghuan handed him a cup of tea angrily. Lin Yuzhi smiled and drank it obediently.

"Brother Lin, I'm thirsty too." Ning Xiaoqi said, stretching out her arms towards Lin Yuzhi.

"Seventh Princess, have some tea." Lin Mo quickly poured a cup and handed it to her. Ning Xiaoqi rolled her eyes at Lin Mo.

"Why don't you sit in the carriage instead of riding a horse like us?" Jia Xu said curiously, looking at Lin Qingyi who was riding a horse like him.

"Brother-in-law, there is a war going on inside. I'm afraid I'll be affected and hurt." Lin Qingyi looked back at the carriage that looked very quiet and said to Jia Xu secretly.

"What about Mo'er?" Jia Xu looked back at the carriage with concern and asked.

"It's okay, second sister has her own shield and won't be hurt." Lin Qingyi said, sticking her head out, and the carriage stopped as she spoke.

"Lin Qinghuan! You are so bold! You are going too far... Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Ning Xiaoqi's crying voice was heard.

"It's over, something happened again." Lin Qingyi looked at Jia Xu and shrugged helplessly.

In the carriage, Lin Yuzhi stood between the two girls, holding one in each hand to prevent them from confronting each other.

"She did it on purpose. She spilled the tea on me on purpose." Ning Xiaoqi cried while wiping the tea stains off her body.

"I didn't do it on purpose. It was you who came close to me for no reason. You knew the carriage was unstable, but you tripped over a stone and the tea spilled." Lin Qinghuan said, hiding behind Lin Yu and sticking his head out.

"It was obviously you. I saw you splashed it hard on purpose." Ning Xiaoqi cried, and Lin Mo was beside her, anxiously wiping her clothes with a handkerchief.

"Why don't you two sit separately? Seventh Princess, go back to your own carriage!" Lin Qingyi said as she lifted the curtain outside. Lin Ancai and Jia Xu also poked their heads out from behind to watch the fun.

"Lin Qinghuan, you... Humph! I'll deal with you when I get back to Jinhan." Ning Xiaoqi said harsh words to Lin Qinghuan, and then returned to her carriage crying.

Lin Qinghuan was behind Lin Yu, making faces at the crybaby's back, and was spotted by Lin Yuzhi who turned around.

"Huan'er." Lin Yuzhi gently tapped Lin Qinghuan's forehead.

"Big brother, it hurts." Lin Qinghuan said unhappily, covering his forehead.

"You are too naughty." Lin Yuzhi said helplessly.

During the next few days, Lin Qinghuan's condition worsened. Even Ning Xiaoqi noticed something was wrong and stopped bothering her. Lin Qinghuan spent more time sleeping in the carriage than being awake.

"Big brother, I suddenly miss the time when I was riding horses as a child. At that time, I had my big sister and Aunt Xue...those days were really good." Lin Qinghuan tried hard to look up at Lin Yuzhi's face again, leaning lightly on his shoulder and muttering to himself.

"Huan'er, you've been so tired from traveling in the carriage these days. How about we go to the county ahead and rest for two days before setting off again?" Lin Yuzhi wanted Lin Qinghuan to have enough rest before setting off, but the little girl was urging him all the way, wanting to see Lin Qingyao as soon as possible.

"We will reach Yinan in a few days. Why is it so far? Why did Daddy marry my elder sister so far away..." Lin Qinghuan said aggrievedly, and couldn't help but shed tears. She rushed so hard, but still couldn't see her elder sister. She was so unwilling to accept it.

"We'll be there in two days, dear Huan'er. Let's get enough rest and then go see your elder sister. Now your elder sister is pregnant. She will definitely be very happy to see the healthy Huan'er." Lin Yuzhi reached out and wiped away Lin Qinghuan's tears, and said with great distress.

Lin Mo went to Lin Yuzhi's house that day and asked his elder brother to write a letter to Xiao Yu. Lin Qinghuan's condition suddenly became serious and she had no way to deal with it. Lin Yuzhi then realized that this girl had been enduring like this all the way. Now she only hoped that Xiao Yu would receive the letter and meet him in the county ahead tonight.

"How come Princess Changping is suddenly like this? Didn't she say that she would be engaged to the Xiao family after she recovered?" Ning Xiaoqi asked Lin Mo.

"Your Highness the Seventh Princess, Huan'er's body is naturally a little exhausted from the bumpy journey. She will recover soon after a good rest in the next two days." Lin Mo nodded and replied softly.

"It's really strange. She is so cold to you, but you are so calm and keep making medicine and serving her. I really can't understand it." Ning Xiaoqi looked at Lin Mo and said with a sneer.

"She is my sister, it is natural for me to take care of her. If the Seventh Princess is okay, I will go get medicine for Huan'er." Lin Mo bowed slightly, saluted and left.

"I really don't understand what's so likable about Lin Qinghuan. Everyone in the Lin family treats her so well, is it just because she's prettier?" Ning Xiaoqi muttered as she watched Lin Mo's hurried back.

In the inn's superior guest room, Lin Qinghuan's favorite calming incense was lit in the room, but at this time she was already in a completely comatose state.

"After all, I still won't be able to see my elder sister." Lin Qinghuan said as she looked at the other sleeping soul in her body, and then she became so weak that she slowly disappeared.

"Brother, I really am at a loss. Huan'er is now like she was a few years ago. Her pulse is weak and powerless. I have used all the medicine I can give her." Lin Mo choked with his hand covering his mouth. Jia Xu hugged his wife with heartache, and also frowned as he looked at the patient who was lying on the bed very peacefully, as if he was asleep.

Xiao Yu rode a fast horse and finally caught up with the Lin brothers and sisters in Changlu County. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water before rushing over to treat his sweetheart.

"This... this pulse is a little weak, but not that weak. It doesn't make sense for Huan'er to remain unconscious." Xiao Yu said with a sigh of relief after taking Huan'er's pulse.

"That's impossible. He was almost out of breath in the carriage just now." Lin Mo wiped his tears and stepped forward to hold it.

"Huan'er, Huan'er's pulse has become stronger again, big brother." Lin Mo heard that Lin Qinghuan's familiar pulse had returned. He couldn't help laughing and crying at the same time. He was so happy that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Maybe it's because the journey was too tiring. Huan'er is getting better after a rest." Lin Qingyi wiped away her tears and said happily.

Lin Yuzhi's eyes were no longer as red as before, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

"I'll give Huan'er an acupuncture. Madam Jia, please take care of Huan'er for me." Xiao Yu said, and Lin Mo urged everyone to leave the yard.

Near Yinan, there are many places along the way that border the Nanbang Kingdom. In order to prevent accidents, Hong Qi took Lin Yuzhi's letter to Yinan to inform Uncle Lin Er and send officers and soldiers to support them. The others waited in Changlu County.

Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Lin Qinghuan slowly opened her heavy eyelids. She felt as if she had slept for a long century.

"Where is this?" Lin Qinghuan murmured as she slowly got up. She looked at the surrounding furnishings in a daze. Isn't this Suhe Residence? Has she traveled through time again?

Lin Qinghuan quietly put on her shoes and socks, tiptoed to the door, and just as she pushed the door open, she ran into Ning Xiaoqi who was trying to sneak in to see what was going on. They both looked at each other in shock.

"Ah!" Ning Xiaoqi suddenly screamed, then quickly covered her mouth and ran back. Lin Qinghuan was also frightened and hurried back to the room to bolt the door and close it tightly.

"It's over, it's over. I really traveled to another place." Lin Qinghuan went back to bed in despair.

Ning Xiaoqi returned to the room and kept gasping for air, "Oh my God, I'm so scared, what is she doing?" Thinking back to Lin Qinghuan's strange posture just now, Ning Xiaoqi felt more and more strange and scared.

Then he quickly crawled back into the bed and forced himself to close his eyes and sleep. At the same time, Lin Qinghuan was also curled up in the quilt and shivering. He had just finally gotten familiar with the Da Sheng Dynasty and met his beloved Brother Xiao. Why was he dressed again now? However, because his body had not recovered yet, he fell asleep again while thinking about it.

"Why can't this door be opened?" Chu Xia, who came to serve Lin Qinghuan, couldn't open the door no matter how hard she tried. She knocked on the door anxiously and pushed it hard.

Xiao Yu heard the sound and came over to find that the door was locked. Others also came over after hearing the sound.

"Why is the door locked? I left it unlocked this morning." Chu Xia said curiously, then knocked on the door anxiously, "Could it be that the girl got up and locked the door?"

"Could it be an assassin from Nanbang?" Jia Xu suddenly said. When Xiao Yu heard it, he kicked the wooden door in an instant, then pushed the door open and hurried in. The others also followed in anxiously. Lin Qinghuan fell asleep with the quilt covering her face because of fear, and was awakened by the loud noise of kicking the door. With her hair like a chicken coop, she looked at the people rushing into the room in a daze, and then reached out her hands in panic to grab at the air on both sides, trying to put down the curtain she was most familiar with, but the bed in this inn was not equipped with a fig leaf.

While having lunch downstairs at noon, Lin Qinghuan kept eating with her head down and a red face. She was too embarrassed to face everyone. It was too embarrassing in the morning. Fortunately, Xiao Yu had not come down yet.

Lin Mo looked at Lin Qinghuan, who was still blushing as she lowered her head to eat rice, and picked up a piece of meat for her. Lin Qinghuan looked up at her and then whispered, "Sister Mo, I want to eat chicken legs."

After hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed. Her joy had returned.

"Hmph, Princess Changping has recovered quite quickly. She couldn't even open her eyes yesterday, but now she's gnawing on a chicken leg." Ning Xiaoqi walked over slowly, glanced at the chicken leg in Lin Qinghuan's bowl and said.

"Who is she?" Lin Qinghuan looked up and saw that it was the person who was scared away by him in the morning. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You!" Ning Xiaoqi pointed at Lin Qinghuan as if she had been insulted, then sat down angrily.

Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Mo with a puzzled look, while Lin Qingyi was laughing secretly opposite him.

"Where is the eldest brother from the Lin family?" Ning Xiaoqi asked.

"Why are you asking my big brother what he is doing?" Lin Qinghuan asked curiously.

"He is responsible for my safety along the way, so of course I have to know where he is at all times." Ning Xiaoqi glared at Lin Qinghuan and asked.

"Are you kidding? My elder brother is a civil servant who doesn't know martial arts. Sister Yi is more suitable than him. At worst, Ji Ancai will do." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help laughing.

"Princess Changping, are you doing this on purpose?" Ning Xiaoqi stood up and shouted.

"Why is she angry?" Lin Qinghuan naturally didn't know who this strange girl was, nor did he know what had happened between him and her, so he looked at Ning Xiaoqi with a confused face and muttered.

"Huan'er, stop messing around." Lin Yuzhi's voice came from behind. Lin Qinghuan turned around and saw Xiao Yu and Jia Xu on both sides of her. They looked like two well-behaved brothers-in-law.

Lin Qinghuan glanced at Xiao Yu, then blushed and lowered her head to continue eating. Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and sat opposite Lin Qinghuan and Lin Mo with Jia Xu. Lin Yuzhi and Lin Ancai sat opposite Lin Qingyi and Ning Xiaoqi.

"Brother Yu, my second brother-in-law and I have discussed this. The population of Changlu County is quite complex, with many people from Nanbang mixed in. During the days of waiting for the officers and soldiers, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You are only allowed to stay in the inn every day. Your Highness the Seventh Princess, for the sake of safety, I hope you can bear with it for a while and enjoy the scenery after you arrive in Yinan." After Lin Yuzhi finished speaking, he looked at Ning Xiaoqi who was still staring at Lin Qinghuan and asked.

"Just follow Brother Lin's arrangements. You have to stay with me all the time." Ning Xiaoqi said with a pout.

Lin Qinghuan looked up at her and saw that she was his elder brother's fiancée, the Seventh Princess. No wonder she was so angry with him just now.

As he was speaking, a burst of fragrance wafted into his nose. Lin Qinghuan turned his head and looked at the entrance of the inn. A group of women dressed as exotic dancers came in.

"It's those women from the foreign land of Shenzhou in Jinei County. Why are they here too?" Lin Qingyi said to Lin Yuzhi in a low voice with her sharp eyes.

Lin Qinghuan figured it out. He guessed that the original owner had been traveling with them these days, meeting many people he had never seen and many exciting things he had never heard of. But now he could no longer feel her. Could it be that he was really the only one left this time?

"Be careful of the smell on them and take these pills." Xiao Yu took out a small jade bottle from his arms. Lin Mo took it and gave each person a small black pill.

"Huan'er doesn't need to take it. The medicine she has been drinking since she was a child contains these ingredients. She doesn't need it anymore." Xiao Yu said to Lin Mo.

"Sister Mo, I am immune to all poisons." Lin Qinghuan said to Lin Mo proudly. Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing when he saw her mischievous look.

"Especially those who practice martial arts. If you smell the scent on their bodies too much, it will suppress your internal strength." Xiao Yu instructed, and several people who knew martial arts nodded.

"This is the femme fatale." Lin Qinghuan whispered as she looked at the exotic beauties sitting not far from them, but it seemed that these beauties were not targeting them.
