Xin Yi stood there in a daze, looking at the burly man in front of him with disheveled hair and a faint hint of "bad luck". He couldn't describe his feelings for the moment, and could only look at Fu Jiuqu in a daze.

Fu Jiuqu remained motionless, as stiff as a sculpture.

On the contrary, Zhang Xun was the most comfortable and happy, with a smile on his face. However, due to the poison, it seemed that he had to work hard to squeeze out a sentence from his throat.

"Chonglou...how are you..."

"Okay. I'm fine." Fu Jiuqu finally walked to Zhang Xun's hospital bed, lowered his head to look at him, and then reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"You're finally back. We all thought you..."

"Do you think I'm dead?" Zhang Xun's voice was hoarse, but he could hear an obvious smile.

Probably because he was so happy to see Fu Jiuqu, Zhang Xun forgot about the pain in his body. He held Fu Jiuqu's hand and was about to sit up. The thin blanket on his body slid down with his movements, revealing his naked skin.

.

Zhang Xun was embarrassed and startled.

Xin Yi was silent.

Fu Jiuqu glanced at Xin Yi, swallowed the words as they came to his lips, pulled up the blanket and put it on Zhang Xun's body, lowered his eyes and asked her.

"How is Xingyuan's condition?"

"Huh?" Xin Yi was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and realized that Fu Jiuqu was talking to him.

She looked into Fu Jiuqu's deep eyes and said simply: "The initial diagnosis is metal poisoning. I have induced vomiting and treated him. Since he can wake up, as long as he is treated properly, he should not die..."

"Metal poisoning? What metal?"

Xin Yi said: "There are some mineral-based Chinese medicinal materials that contain metal elements. I can't determine what they are specifically at the moment, because several metals will have similar symptoms."

Zhang Xun pursed his lips tightly.

He is also looking at Xin Yi.

This strange, yet somewhat familiar little woman.

"Chonglou, she is..."

After Xin Yi didn't recognize Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun didn't dare to recognize Xin Yi either.

The two people had been separated for too long, and the two had changed a lot. Therefore, Fu Jiuqu didn't have the slightest doubt.

But he couldn't say the word "sister-in-law".

"Miss Zhang."

The four words "faint" seem to contain some deep meaning, but they also seem to just pass by lightly.

Xin Yi glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhang Xun also didn't care about Fu Jiuqu's title.

Because all his nerves were shaken by the fact that the woman in front of him was Mrs. Zhang—his wife.

It was like a heavy hammer, caught off guard and hitting his heart hard.

When he was in a coma, he was not completely unconscious. The woman who pulled him out of the hut, cut off his clothes, fed him medicine, and performed acupuncture on him... In his dazed consciousness, she was as beautiful as a peach and plum.

, as beautiful as a fairy.

That's not a mortal, that's a fairy.

How could she be his wife who is so ignorant and stupid as a pig?

"Did she save me?" Zhang Xun was so shocked that he couldn't believe it and asked Fu Jiuqu again for confirmation.

"Yes." Fu Jiuqu nodded, his lips pursed slightly, "Luckily you met her."

Zhang Xun didn't say anything, and after learning that it was Mrs. Zhang who saved him, his grateful mood faded a little.

A person's inherent impression is difficult to change.

Even though Xin Yi became more beautiful, in Zhang Xun's heart he was still the same person he was yesterday.

"Get out! I have something to talk to Chonglou."

He turned to look at Xin Yi, his tone was stiff and cold, it was clear that he was not treating a savior, but his wife who had been abandoned like a piece of shit.

Getting used to it is a terrible thing.

Xin Yi saw Fu Jiuqu's frown and suddenly smiled.

"This is my pharmacy. If you want to go out, you should go out."

Zhang Xun frowned and opened his mouth to say something to her, but before the words came out, he couldn't help coughing. He coughed until his face turned pale, as if he couldn't breathe and would lose his breath at any time...

Fu Jiuqu looked at Xin Yi, "You go out first and I'll tell him."

Xin Yi leaned closer to him, but Fu Jiuqu did not avoid it. Through the dim light in the room, Xin Yi saw his slightly frowning eyebrows and his tired expression, which was the same as when he came in.

They are already two completely different people.

Talk about embarrassment and entanglement.

Fu Jiuqu is definitely better than her.

After all, her soul is no longer Mrs. Zhang. Even this body was completely separated from the Zhang family from the moment Liu persecuted her and she came to Li Zheng to separate the family.

She has no moral baggage, but Fu Jiuqu does.

"Okay." Xin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled softly at him, "I'll give you face. Forgive me that he just came back and doesn't know the situation clearly."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out without looking back. Not to mention the face and the person, even the way she walked and her expression were very different from usual.

Zhang Xun looked at her back inquiringly and asked Fu Jiuqu in a low voice: "Is she really my ugly wife?"

Obviously, he still couldn't accept Mrs. Zhang's change.

Fu Jiuqu hummed, not wanting to discuss this issue, and sat down gently on the stool beside his bed.

"Where have you been these days? Since you are not dead, why don't you come back with a message?"

Zhang Xun faced him alone, and his nerves cooled down from the excitement of the sudden meeting. Only then did he realize that Fu Jiuqu frowned tightly, and he didn't seem so happy about his sudden return...

Zhang Xun hesitated slightly.

"Did something happen? Why...do you look unhappy?"

"No." Fu Jiuqu pinched his eyebrows and felt a dull pain in his head. His whole body was in a state of numbness. It was difficult to concentrate on talking to Zhang Xun. All he could think of was Xin Yi's face.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Zhang Xun had known that he had headaches before, so he didn't ask any more questions, but explained his whereabouts in the past few months.

"Nong Zhigao had long wanted to raise an army. On the one hand, he expressed his goodwill to the court and asked for submission, while on the other hand, he secretly recruited troops and carried out a large-scale rebellion..."

Zhang Xun spoke with difficulty, panting while speaking.

Fu Jiuqu glanced sideways and saw the emerald green cups on the table. He slightly raised his sleeves and handed them to him.

Zhang Xun thanked him and took a sip, "That night, a few brothers and I got the news and went deep into Guangyuan to investigate. We encountered barbarian soldiers under the master Nong Zhi. The opponent was outnumbered. We fought and retreated all the way.

When we arrived at Yujiang, several brothers...mostly died at the hands of barbarians. I was also seriously injured, but I didn't want to become a hostage. In a hurry, I jumped into Yujiang..."

Fu Jiuqu's eyes fell on his face and he didn't interrupt.

Zhang Xun took a deep breath and added: "My life should not have been cut off, but I was saved by the crown prince of Dali. He took me back to Dali. For a long time, I was dizzy and on the verge of death.

I don’t know where I am, I don’t dare to reveal my identity, and I have no way to report to the court..."

After a pause, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Chonglou, what happened to the brothers who were with me?"

Fu Jiuqu said softly: "They have all died for their country."

Zhang Xun clenched his fists and said, "Nong Zhigao, the bastard, when I get better, I will go and attack him personally..."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him placatingly and asked: "Yesterday, the Imperial City Division reported that the Crown Prince of Dali and his party were assassinated in Bianhe River. Did you come back with them?"

"Yes." Zhang Xun said, "How is the prince?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "The prince was slightly injured and has been properly accommodated by Honglu Temple. You can rest assured."

After a slight pause, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Xun: "Does the Crown Prince know your identity?"

Zhang Xundao said: "He only knew that I was from the Song Dynasty and missed my hometown, so he brought me back. I didn't say anything else... When I was assassinated this time, I fought my way out of the siege to repay him for saving my life. I originally wanted to go

The front office clerk reported the news, but unexpectedly I was poisoned by a thief. I passed by Ma Xing Street and encountered the gangster again. I killed the gangster and was exhausted. I wanted to go to the drug store for help, but I fainted..."

The office of the front secretary is on Ma Xing Street. Zhang Xun was originally the governor of the front office, Yu Hou. He should have gone back to the front office to report to the front office, but he accidentally ended up in Xinyi's medicine shop...

This is probably God's will.

Fu Jiuqu sighed quietly, "You said you killed some bad guys outside the door? How many people?"

Zhang Xun: "There is only one person. What? No body?"

Fu Jiuqu told Zhang Xun about Xin Yi's discovery of blood stains, and then said: "It seems that his accomplices took away the body because they were afraid that he would reveal his identity."

Zhang Xun nodded, "This group of thieves is very skilled, and they are not just idle thieves. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise... the prince would have fallen into the hands of thieves, or died in the Bianhe River. At this juncture, another incident might have occurred."

"

Although the Duan family of Dali is a small vassal state, it has been a vassal and paid tribute since the Song Dynasty. It has been friendly to the Song Dynasty for generations. Now that Nong Zhigao is proclaimed emperor, he is eager to cause some trouble and make the Song Dynasty a stranger inside and outside. If the prince of Dali dies in

Bianjing, that is naturally something that countless people like to hear about.

Zhang Xun held himself up and talked about many things in the south, such as Dali, Jiaozhi, and Nong Zhigao, as well as the gains and experiences of his trip...

Fu Jiuqu listened, but his heart was wandering and he couldn't hear it and couldn't put it into practice.

He controlled his emotions, but Zhang Xun still noticed that he was unhappy.
