Chapter 628 Debt from Previous Life
Hearing the long-lost voice, Yan Shu's eyes felt hot and tears started to stream down.
She quickly ran to the bed and hugged Yan Huai with tears in her eyes.
"Third brother, you finally woke up. Do you know how long you have been sleeping? Woohoo, you really scared me this time... Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, and Second Brother are all very worried about you."
Yan Huai reached out and patted Yan Shu's back soothingly, his eyes slightly red.
"Although I was unconscious, I could hear everything you said during this time. I also tried to wake myself up, but this body was like a solid cage. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break free."
Yan Shu cried for a while, and his tears wet Yan Huai's clothes.
She choked up and apologized, "Third brother, I'm sorry. It was because of saving me that you were seriously injured."
Yan Huai hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was a little dry and hoarse.
"Don't think like that, little sister. Even if I were given another chance to choose, I would stand in front of you without hesitation. After all, you are my biological sister."
Xiao Yan, who had been standing beside the bed in silence, said, "Yan Huai, do you feel uncomfortable after waking up? I have asked Qingyun to invite Master Hongyi, and he will be here soon."
Yan Huai said politely: "I think there is nothing wrong with my body, but I am still weak."
Yan Shu also put away his excitement, looked carefully at Yan Huai's face for a moment, then reached out and pressed his hand on his pulse to diagnose him.
After the diagnosis, a look of joy appeared on her face.
"From your pulse, Third Brother is in good health. He is just very weak after being in a coma for too long. He will recover in a few days. Third Brother, I will take care of your diet and daily life in person these few days and make sure you get better as soon as possible."
Yan Huai smiled and nodded. He had no doubt about this. His younger sister's space was full of rare treasures. Even if he only drank the spiritual spring water in the well, he would be able to recover quickly.
At this time, Qingyun came in with Master Hongyi.
Master Hongyi saw that the brother and sister's eyes were red, and said in a deep voice: "The patient has just woken up, don't be too excited."
Yan Shu wiped his tears, stood up and walked to Master Hongyi, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"Master, you are truly a man of foresight. You said my third brother would wake up today, and he really woke up this morning. Thank you so much for saving my third brother's life. Please accept my daughter's greetings!"
After saying this, Yan Shu immediately knelt down and paid his respects.
Master Hongyi quickly reached out and supported her.
"You don't have to do such a big gift. The fact that you brought your third brother all the way to Mount Taihua shows that he is a blessed man."
Yan Shu looked up at him and said, "If you hadn't saved me, my third brother wouldn't have woken up so quickly. This is my sincere gratitude to you. I hope you can fulfill my wish."
Yan Shu insisted on kneeling down and respectfully bowed to Master Hongyi.
For a monk as enlightened as Master Hongyi, worldly things have no attraction to him, so the only thing she can offer is sincerity.
Seeing this, Yan Huai also lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed to thank Master Hongyi for saving his life, but Xiao Yan, who was standing beside him, reached out and supported him in time.
"Don't move, you just woke up and your body is still very weak."
"The master is my lifesaver, I should personally thank him."
Master Hongyi helped Yan Shu up, walked straight to the bedside and said, "I accept your gratitude. You should recover now and don't move. Stretch out your hand and I will help you again."
"Thank you, Master."
Yan Huai placed his hand on the side of the bed. Master Hongyi sat on a chair beside the bed, carefully checked Yan Huai's pulse, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Young people are strong and healthy. They can recover as before after a period of recuperation."
After hearing this good news, Yan Shu, Jiang Ci and Xiao Yan were completely relieved.
-
In the next few days, Yan Huai's health gradually improved under Yan Shu's personal care, and he was able to walk around without the help of others.
"Little sister, I am almost recovered. My parents, elder brother, and second brother are still worried about my condition. I want to go back to Xinyang as soon as possible."
Yan Shu said softly: "You are still a little weak now. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the long journey back."
"I am still in good health. You have been using spiritual spring water and spiritual herbs to keep me alive during the more than one month I was in a coma. My external injuries have long since healed. I think my weakness these days is just caused by lying down for too long. Besides, I am going to take the college entrance examination next year, and I can't delay the academy. Otherwise, wouldn't the money I spent on studying for the past two years be wasted?"
Although his family advised him not to take the imperial examination too seriously, as he started studying too late and was different from those students who had been studying since childhood, he did not want to let his family's efforts go to waste. As long as there was a glimmer of hope on the road to imperial examination, he would not give up easily.
Yan Shu heard from Yan Huai's words that he was eager to go back to study, and thought carefully for a moment.
"Third brother, I can't go back to Xinyang with you this time."
Yan Huai was slightly surprised and then understood something.
"You want to follow Jiang Ci to the capital?"
As the champion of the provincial examination in Xinyang Prefecture, Jiang Ci will definitely take part in next year's spring examination. Since he appears here with his younger sister, they must have discussed it in advance.
Yan Shu said, "I have to go to Qinghe to find Mr. Cui first. Jiang Ci will send me to Cui's house and then go to the capital first."
Yan Huai was silent for a while: "Little sister, are you going to the capital to seek revenge on the Grand Princess?"
My younger sister had never thought of going to the capital before, but her attitude suddenly changed now. It must be related to the fact that the Grand Princess sent an assassin to injure her.
Thinking of this, Yan Huai felt a surge of self-blame.
"Little sister, you must think carefully about this matter. The eldest princess is the most beloved daughter of the late emperor. Not only does she hold the personal guards granted by the late emperor, but she is also surrounded by many experts. If you go there alone, you will undoubtedly be walking into a tiger's mouth. You should come back with me. I can't watch you take risks."
Yan Shu comforted him, "Third brother, you have always been smart, and you naturally understand our current situation. If I don't fight back against the assassination of the Grand Princess, they will come one after another. Since I can't avoid it, I will take the initiative. It is better than being passively controlled by others. Third brother, don't worry. After I go to the capital, I will join forces with Jiang Ci. If everything goes well in this trip to Qinghe, the Cui family will also become a great help to me. I may not lose this game."
Seeing Yan Huai looking at him with worry, Yan Shu pretended to be relaxed and said, "Third brother, don't you believe me?"
Yan Huai shook his head: "My sister is so smart and determined. Third brother has always believed that as long as you want to do something, no matter how difficult it is, you will do your best to complete it."
Yan Shu grabbed Yan Huai's sleeve and shook it gently twice like a spoiled child.
"Third brother knows me best. Although I cannot go back to Xinyang with you, I will arrange some bodyguards to escort you back safely."
As soon as Yan Shu finished speaking, two figures walked in from outside the door, one after the other.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."
Jiang Ci and Xiao Yan walked into the house together. Jiang Ci said, "I will arrange for someone to escort Third Brother Yan back."
Yan Huai immediately refused.
"You will need your own confidants when you go to the capital, so you don't need to assign any personnel to me."
Xiao Yan glanced at Yan Huai with his dark eyes.
"I'll take you back."
Yan Shu, Yan Huai, and Jiang Ci looked at Xiao Yan almost at the same time.
Xiao Yan coughed lightly, feeling a little awkward, and said to Jiang Ci, "I dare not neglect what His Highness has asked me to do. It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently. I plan to leave in the next two days and send Yan Huai back to Xinyang Prefecture on the way."
Jiang Ci saw through it and raised his eyebrows without saying anything. When did he need to pass through Xinyang Prefecture on the way to Rongcheng?
"Third Brother Yan, since Prince Xiao happens to be on your way, let him escort you back to Xinyang Prefecture."
Yan Huai frowned: "I appreciate the kindness of Master Xiao, but I'm sure Master Xiao has official business to attend to. Taking a patient like me with him might delay his trip."
When Xiao Yan heard the name "Prince Xiao", he immediately felt it was particularly irritating, and said coldly: "It's just a side trip. If you feel you owe it, then just give this gratitude to His Highness the Seventh Prince. I'm just following orders."
Seeing that Xiao Yan was a little angry, Yan Huai sighed in his heart.
He had seen how Xiao Yan had taken care of him these past few days, but it was difficult for him to respond to such a heavy feeling.
Seeing that Yan Huai was in a dilemma, Yan Shu said, "Prince Xiao, my third brother's worries are not unreasonable. You have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you with escorting my third brother. I will arrange for someone to escort him back safely."
Xiao Yan remained silent and looked at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci pondered for a moment and said, "I have people here in Nanyang Prefecture. I will arrange for the escort of Third Brother. Prince Xiao, let's talk alone."
Xiao Yan nodded, without looking at Yan Huai from beginning to end, and followed Jiang Ci away.
Yan Huai watched Xiao Yan leave and fell into silence for a long time.
Yan Shu took out two oranges from the space, peeled off the thin layer of skin, and stuffed the whole wrapped orange into Yan Huai's hand.
"Eat some fruit. The sweet and sour taste will make you happy."
Yan Huai curled up the corners of his lips and smiled, then broke off two slices of mandarin orange and put them in his mouth. His mouth, which had just tasted bitter after taking the medicine, was instantly filled with the sweet and sour juice.
"Very sweet."
Yan Shu also ate two slices of Wogan and asked tentatively, "Does Third Brother intend to distance himself from Prince Xiao?"
There was silence in Yan Huai's dark eyes.
"Little sister, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
Yan Shu's eyebrows jumped, and he looked at Yan Huai with curiosity: "Why did Third Brother suddenly ask this?"
Yan Huai smiled faintly: "Nothing, it's just that I often heard the monks in the temple chanting scriptures in the morning these two days. I was a little curious about the cause and effect of the previous life described in the scriptures, which added to my troubles."
Yan Shu sighed: "If past lives really exist, then everyone we meet in this life is bound by cause and effect."
"Yes, if you don't owe me anything in your previous life, I won't see you in this life."
