Chapter 483 You're the one who's like tofu dregs!
This was the first time Lu Yangyang had ever heard of taking a pulse from such a unique angle.
She remained silent for a moment, then released her hand. "Is there something you need?"
Nalan Yunyan exclaimed excitedly, "Of course I'm in trouble! I really left that awful place, right? How did you do that? It feels like I just took a nap and then I was down the mountain! I won't be dragged back here, will I?"
Lu Yangyang looked at her: "Were you often taken back to prison before?"
Nalan Yunyan angrily said, "More than that! No matter which direction I run in, I always manage to be caught and brought back! Didn't I tell you? I've tried everything, but I still can't escape! So this time you've really escaped and won't go back, right? I'm telling you, I'll trade you anything you want, but I never want to go back to that godforsaken place again! I've been looking for you for ages, so what you promised me, is that a promise? When are you going to send me back? I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a day longer!"
Nalan Yunyan looked at Lu Yangyang with eager anticipation.
She really couldn't stand it for another day!
Wasn't she happy being a free and unrestrained princess in the Great Yan?
What was she thinking, coming here for a political marriage?!
If she could go back to that time, she really would have preferred to marry that shrewish man; judging by looks ultimately ruined her life.
Hearing her urgent tone, Lu Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "It's really not safe for you to stay here. Here's what we'll do: I'll go ask around and find someone to arrange for you to leave as soon as possible."
Although she has now rescued Nalan Yunyan, it was all an accident.
If she wasn't mistaken, the reason the Crown Prince left Nalan Yunyan here was that he wanted to use Nalan Yunyan to leave the capital, but he also found her a nuisance. However, given Nalan Yunyan's status, he couldn't let her die easily. So, he could only find a safe place that no one would think of to lock her up for the time being, and deal with it later.
Now she has taken the opportunity to take Nalan Yunyan away, but there are countless spies of the Crown Prince in Yuzhou City. Right now, she is in the open while the Crown Prince is in the dark. Before long, the news of Nalan Yunyan's disappearance will reach the Crown Prince's ears.
If His Highness were to send someone to keep an eye on her movements, there would always be a chance to abduct Nalan Yunyan or kill her outright.
She couldn't possibly keep an eye on Nalan Yunyan like the apple of her eye, so it was impossible to guard against her.
We must get them far away immediately.
We'll need Your Highness's help for this.
Lu Yangyang instantly found an excuse and grabbed Nalan Yunyan, "Come with me, let's change our clothes and disguise ourselves so no one recognizes us. I'll take you to find someone who can send you away!"
Nalan Yunyan never expected that Lu Yangyang actually intended to send her back. In fact, as soon as she woke up and learned that she had left the Immortal Palace, she was anxious to find Lu Yangyang, just in case Lu Yangyang reneged on her promise. She had already decided that as long as Lu Yangyang was willing to send her away, she would agree to anything. But she never expected that Lu Yangyang would agree so readily!
Nalan Yunyan excitedly grabbed her hand, "Lu Yangyang, you're a good person. Don't worry, as long as I return to Da Yan, I will definitely take good care of your little sister. I mean what I say. If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning and have no descendants, as you Da Zhao people say!"
This was the most vicious oath she had ever heard in Dazhao.
Lu Yangyang: "...You've certainly learned a lot of nonsense."
“Nonsense? Why is it nonsense? Isn’t that how you Central Plains people swear oaths? I’ve seen them argue like that, cursing each other to be childless, struck by lightning, and so on…” Nalan Yunyan didn’t quite understand.
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes: "First of all, if you're not standing under lightning during a thunderstorm, it's impossible for the lightning to come into the house and strike you. Secondly, what does your being childless have to do with me? Isn't your oath just a bunch of nonsense?"
Nalan Yunyan's face scrunched up like a bun; she couldn't understand it.
As he followed Lu Yangyang, he couldn't help but mutter, "Why is it so complicated for you Central Plains people to make an oath? If oaths are so useless, why do you make them every day?"
Lu Yangyang casually replied, "Maybe they're just bored?"
Nalan Yunyan: "...This is really complicated."
Lu Yangyang pulled her to find a men's outfit to change into, and then did some disguise for her so that no one would recognize her. After that, she told Xu Lang to take good care of Xiu Niang, and then took Nalan Yunyan to the nearest Immortal Temple.
The Immortal Temple was quiet at this moment. As soon as Lu Yangyang dismounted, she was stopped by someone. Judging from their appearance, they should be the secret guards of Zong Que.
Lu Yangyang had no choice but to call out into the courtyard, "Wen Qingqing!"
Wen Qingqing was brewing medicine in the courtyard when she heard the noise. She immediately rushed out and excitedly pounced on Lu Yangyang the moment she saw her. "Yangyang, Yangyang, I have something to tell you, something incredible! A peerless beauty has fallen from the sky, and he's a sickly beauty at that! But that's not important. What's important is that he's so incredibly handsome! I finally understand what my mother meant by 'exceptionally beautiful'! Can you believe it? He's just as good as your brother! They're both amazing in their own way! Pinch me! I still think this might be a dream!"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Lu Yangyang covered her mouth, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into the courtyard. Nalan Yunyan hesitated and followed.
Lu Yangyang smelled the medicine and carried Wen Qingqing to the stove where the medicine was being decocted, then pressed her down onto a small stool: "So what were the results of your pulse diagnosis?"
"Ah, you mean that sickly beauty?" Wen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lu Yangyang had dragged her in.
"Yes, tell the truth," Lu Yangyang urged.
"She's... she's a real sickly beauty. Her body is all battered and bruised. The fact that she's still alive is like it's been pieced together. If she takes good care of herself, she might live for another ten or eight years, maybe not much longer. But if she keeps going like this, she might not even last three years." Wen Qingqing replied, and couldn't help but sigh, "This person has the strongest willpower I've ever seen. Anyone else wouldn't have survived those arrow wounds alone, let alone all the messy internal injuries. Calling her 'battered' is an understatement; she's more like tofu dregs, the kind that crumbles at the slightest touch."
Wen Qingqing shook her head: "That's incredible! If I could take such a patient back to my grandfather for him to study, he'd definitely reward me with a great treasure! After all, he's seen countless intractable diseases in this world. Someone who can withstand so many injuries and still breathe is probably already dead..."
Lu Yangyang slapped her on the back of the head: "You're such a piece of trash! You're the one who's like a piece of trash!"
