Xie Sui thought for a moment and said, "Go prepare the carriage and go to the farm." He gave the order and turned to look at Yu Guiwan, reminding her, "If you don't eat the wontons now, they will get cold."

"It will take time to prepare the carriage, so just relax and eat."

After hearing this, Yu Guiwan finally sat down to eat her wontons. Seeing that the banquet was approaching, she knew that the more time passed, the more important it was for the rouge to not get into trouble. She had to go there in person.

She casually asked, "By the way, has Doctor Wei been away these days?" She hadn't seen Wei Heng for the past two days, and she might need his help this time when she goes to the farm.

"I sent him out on a mission."

Yu Guiwan looked annoyed, "That's troublesome." She suddenly felt distressed that she had not learned any medical skills from her master. It seemed that she would have to learn some medical skills in the future.

Since you are doing this kind of work, you have to work hard.

Xie Sui said disapprovingly, "I'll have someone tell him to hurry to the farm as soon as possible."

After they finished eating the wontons, they boarded the carriage. Once inside, Yu Guiwan asked, "I haven't asked about your relationship with Wei Heng yet. Why is he so dedicated?"

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Wei Heng and Xie Sui are close friends, but Wei Heng never seems to refuse Xie Sui's orders.

Xie Sui smiled and said, "When I rescued him, he said that from now on he would only obey my orders." As he spoke, Xie Sui's thoughts drifted far away, and he couldn't help but think of what happened that day.

……

seven years ago.

Xie Sui would go to the temple and stay there for two days every year. On this day, he deliberately avoided the servants and sneaked up the back mountain at night. Xie Sui dragged his seriously ill body to climb for a long time, and every time he thought he was going to die halfway.

He climbed up step by step tenaciously.

It was almost dawn when he finally reached the top of the mountain.

This was the first time that he was not surrounded by many servants. He was alone. Xie Sui sat on the edge of the cliff, feeling the cold wind and coughing non-stop. The violent coughing almost suffocated him.

"help me."

Just as Xie Sui was stunned, a man covered in wounds crawled up to Xie Sui and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

Xie Sui turned his head and saw the person lying on the ground. Xie Sui curled his lips and said, "I will die soon, how can I save you?" Xie Sui looked at the fish's white belly rising slightly in the sky.

When Wei Heng heard this, he laughed sarcastically, "Those who want to live can't. It really is fate that plays tricks on us."

After the words fell, Wei Heng suddenly asked: "Why do you want to die?"

"My time is running out, why should I struggle?"

Xie Sui lowered his eyes, the light gone from them.

Hearing this, Wei Heng laughed out loud, "One day of life is one day of life. I want to live but no one gives me this opportunity. Since you can live, why don't you live?"

Xie Sui didn't say anything.

Why not live? What does he live for?

"Why do you want to live?" Xie Sui asked, trying to find an answer from others.

When this was mentioned, Wei Heng's expression suddenly became cruel and his tone became higher. "My whole family was killed by someone. Tell me why I am living." His eyes were full of hatred.

"As long as you are willing to save me, I will obey your orders from now on."

After a long while, Xie Sui suddenly spoke and agreed to Wei Heng.

"it is good."

……

When Yu Guiwan heard this, there was some distress between her brows, "So you just agreed to Wei Heng?" She didn't expect that Xie Sui had such a past. She only knew that Xie Sui had been weak and sickly since childhood. Now looking at his appearance, how could anyone know that he had once thought about committing suicide.

"Because he said something else afterwards." Xie Sui couldn't help but chuckle at this.

"What?"

Yu Guiwan suddenly became interested.

"He said I could save him and then commit suicide. He also said he had a poison that could kill people in their sleep without them realizing it. I thought he was an interesting person, so I agreed."

"A few days later, I saw you in the temple. I saw you fall from the tree several times, but you still refused to give up. At that time, your smile was so bright."

"From that day on, I seemed to have found a reason to live."

"I also hope that one day I can be cured of my illness and see scenery I have never seen before."

After Xie Sui finished speaking, he looked at Yu Guiwan, "Awan, why are you crying?" He raised his hand to wipe away the tears in Yu Guiwan's eyes and spoke gently.

Yu Guiwan looked at Xie Sui with heartache, his voice choking. "Xie Sui, after this is over, we'll travel around the world, see the mountains and rivers, and see all the prosperity in the world."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Xie Sui pulled Yu Guiwan into his arms and responded in a low voice.

The capital was only half a day's journey away from the farm they were heading to, and they arrived at the farm while the two were talking.

As soon as the two got off the carriage, the steward of the manor, who had been waiting at the door with everyone in the manor since early morning, said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Chen and Princess Chen." There were people kneeling on the ground at the door. Although they knew that the owner of the manor was Prince Chen, this was the first time they saw him in person.

Xie Sui didn't say anything, but Yu Guiwan understood what he meant. He wanted to establish his authority over her.

"Everyone, get up! Where's the steward?" She asked. The steward immediately stood up and stepped forward, answering respectfully, "What do you want, Princess?"

"Where is the workshop where rouge is made? Take us there."

"Yes."

The housekeeper walked in front to lead the way and entered a courtyard where many medicinal herbs and flower petals were drying outside. When they walked into the house, the servants inside were busy with their work in an orderly manner. When they saw Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui, they immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Greetings to Prince Chen and Princess Chen."

Yu Guiwan glanced at the housekeeper, who immediately said, "Put down what you are doing and leave."

After a while, everyone left the house. The housekeeper then looked at the two of them and asked, "If the prince and princess have any instructions, please tell me. I will be waiting outside."

After everyone had left, Yu Guiwan looked around, picked up the rouge that had been prepared at hand, put it to her nose and sniffed it carefully. Yu Guiwan couldn't help but frowned.

Xie Sui saw her frown and asked, "Is there any problem?" Xie Sui thought she had seen through Yanzhi's clues.

Yu Guiwan shook his head and said, "I can't smell it, and I can't see any problem." It seems that this kind of thing should be left to someone who is good at it.

Xie Sui also shook his head and smiled indulgently.

"How is it, where are the people from Wei Heng?" Xie Sui looked at Bei Chu and asked.

Bei Chu clasped his hands and was about to answer when a voice came from outside the house, "I'm coming, I'm coming. I'm the only one who will work hard and obey your orders." Wei Heng appeared in front of the two of them, exhausted. It was obvious that he had come here at full speed.
