Chapter 567 The General Was Rescued (42)
Maybe it was really too painful, or maybe the medicine was too effective.
However, what was unexpected was that in less than ten days, there was only one pill of the "painkillers" left.
At this time, Huo Lin came again anxiously to seek medicine. Even Xue Asi, who had been mentally prepared, could not help but show surprise after knowing the situation: "This medicine is used up so quickly? In fact, some pains can be endured even if you grit your teeth and hold on."
Huo Lin explained with a worried look on his face: "The general originally planned to rely on his own perseverance to get through it, but unfortunately, his old illness that had not been cured for many years suddenly relapsed.
The pain was unbearable and I had no choice but to take medicine to relieve the pain. "
After saying that, he sighed heavily.
Hearing this, Xue Asi waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he had no interest in what kind of old illness Huo Yuan had. He then handed the bottle of medicine in his hand directly to Huo Lin and said simply, "This contains a month's supply of medicine."
Huo Lin hurriedly took the medicine bottle, thanked him profusely, and left in a hurry.
After Huo Lin disappeared outside the door, Luo Yue, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Why did you remind him of this? Wouldn't it be better to let that person die from an overdose of medicine?"
Facing Luo Yue's question, Xue Asi smiled slightly, looked out the window, and said slowly: "The time is not yet ripe. For now, the most important thing is to control him. He is still useful.
The temperature in Xia Country has begun to drop gradually, it's time for us to go out for a walk."
So the two of them walked onto the street. There were few people on the street, and the cold wind whistled past, bringing a bone-chilling chill.
Xue Asi wrapped his cloak tightly around himself, his eyes swept across a hidden figure at the corner of the street, then he exchanged a glance with Luo Yue, and the two of them entered the jewelry shop nearby.
Not long after the two men entered the shop and were selecting items, someone came over.
"Miss, you should try on the jewelry yourself before choosing it," the shopkeeper advised. "How can you tell if these things are suitable for you?"
Xue Asi curled the corners of her mouth under the curtain. She thought it would take at least a few times before the man would take the bait. Unexpectedly, after only going out once, he would come to her like a cat smelling blood.
"Okay! You are right." Xue Asi took off her cover, revealing her appearance that resembled that of a Yu person.
"The girl is not from Xia country?" Although the shopkeeper already knew a little about Xue Asi's situation, he was still quite surprised when he actually saw her.
Are you from Xia? I used to be, but unfortunately not anymore.
Xue Asi picked up the hairpin he had just chosen, compared it to his own hair, and said, "I am from Jicheng! There are many people like us over there."
The word "people from Jicheng" successfully added some hidden "contempt" to the shopkeeper's eyes. After all, Jicheng was a wild land to them, and even exile was not that far away.
If his master didn't like this, he wouldn't be willing to spend time on this woman.
"Why don't you come with me to the private room upstairs to try on the jewelry?" the shopkeeper suggested with a smile on his face. "You'll attract too much attention if you go to the private room, where you'll be more comfortable."
Xue Asi nodded and took Luo Yue upstairs. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the incense sticks burning in the room.
"How despicable!" Xue Asi shook his head and said softly to Luo Yue, "Wait a minute, just pretend to faint."
It turned out that this place was the prince's property. Some things that were inconvenient for him to do personally, so there were often people doing them for him, including "sending girls".
Xue Asi tried the jewelry calmly, calculated the time was almost up, and then he and Luo Yue "fainted" together.
After both of them were "fainted" for a while, the door was opened and two people walked in.
Of course Luo Yue would be fine, and Xue Asi was helped into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.
After the people left, Luo Yue was also "left" in a back alley. After those people walked away, she got up slowly and pretended to be panicked and rushed to the general's mansion.
On the other hand, Xue Asi was sent to the Prince's Mansion.
Looking at the beauty in front of him, Chen Jiyao's hand had just touched her cheek when he heard his men say, "Your Highness, she is from the General's Mansion after all. Will it be okay for us to do this?"
"He's just a doctor who treats his injuries. Huo Yuan is a lovesick man. He will never like other women in his life." Chen Jiyao said nonchalantly, "It's a waste for such a beauty to stay with him. She might as well stay with me!"
After saying that, he walked a little closer to Xue Asi, and when he leaned down to get a kiss from her, a faint fragrance entered his nostrils.
Olfactory memory is the longest-lasting of all memories.
Especially unique and unforgettable smells can evoke people's memories of the past.
