Chapter 0073 – Love Settlement (1 / 2)

When Chen Zian woke up, it was already the middle of the night, the surroundings were dim, the sound of pattering rain came from outside the house, and there was a faint aroma of rice wafting at the tip of his nose.

The intense pain around his body had long since faded, leaving only a faint ache. He half-opened his eyes and thought, “Is this the netherworld? It was not as horrible as he had imagined.

The candle flame suddenly lit up, and what came into his eyes was the familiar and gentle face of Xiang Cai, who was holding an oil lamp and looking at himself with tears and a smile.

“Is the Prince awake?”

Chen Zian’s heart was startled, and he busily said, “Xiang Capsicum, you, how come you’re down here too!”

Xiang Capsicum was stunned, then she snorted, “Gongzi did not go to Hades, but came to life.”

Chen Zian was stunned, “How could that be, I remember vomiting blood and seeing a lifetime of walking lights that only the dying can see-“

Xiang Capsicum hastened to explain the marvelousness of the pill in his arms, “Perhaps this is how such a divine medicine is, placing death before life? I just don’t know how Your Excellency came to possess such a divine medicine.”

“This is a magic medicine that can cure a hundred poisons?” Chen Zian was shocked, and a trace of sadness colored his expression, “It was given to me by Wang Xuan before he died, and I took it as a remembrance and kept it close to me. I don’t know if he knew–“

Both were silent.

Wang Xuan naturally knew about it, or else why did he send it to Chen Zian in such a way? But how did he get this medicine, and why didn’t he use it himself, instead of dying on that cold winter day.

Only, unfortunately, there was no one left to answer them.

“Alright, don’t think about it, it’s all in the past.” Xiang Capsicum collected her mind, smiled, and brought a bowl of hot congee: “Your Excellency has just recovered from a serious illness, you still need to eat some hot food to replenish your strength. In the future, we will all have good days.”

One week later.

Chen Zi’an’s body had recovered greatly and was transcribing poems, while Xiang Capsicum was helping him with his ink. The two of them glanced at each other from time to time, their eyes filled with infinite warmth.

Xiang Capsicum looked at her young master, some reluctance to say: “Zi An, Guanyin Temple side over to urge a number of times, do not know where to know that your body has been well, I really can not put off this side, so I can only go back to tomorrow will go on duty.”

Chen Zian gave a beat, and the ink on his hand haloed the Xuan paper that he had managed to find with great difficulty.

He covered his head and nodded, “Indeed, I am indeed almost well. You go on duty in peace, I’ll be fine here alone.”

“Your Excellency’s body is really greatly improved?” Xiang Capsicum blinked.

“Yes–“

Chen Zian is back, but saw the fragrance capsule from somewhere to find a pair of red candles, projecting a melting red light, actually will be this simple Buddha Hall reflected actually some warm and festive.

“This, this candle–“

“Your Excellency, this is all I could get, so humble, and ultimately a bit of an aggravation for you.”

Chen Zian seemed to have understood, seemed not to have understood, only dumbfounded, “What do you mean by this? Why is it condescending to me?”

Fragrant capsule as stunned: “Gongzi before the coma is not said, and I want to marry and have a baby it? Since your body has recovered, now you should keep your promise. How, you want to go back on your word!”

Chen Zian’s face instantly turned red with shame. At that time, he had already collapsed his sanity and was about to die, how could he have known that there would be a day when he would return to the earth.

But looking at the red light that filled his eyes, and the crystalized brow of the fragrant capsule, he couldn’t say no.

Red candles reflecting the face of the fragrance capsule, the original stunning face of splendor revealed, Chen Zian’s reasoning but still resisting: “But, you are the big brother’s people, I have not yet asked my parents and brothers – you and I do not have the order of our parents, and there is no matchmaker’s words, how can we – -“

“Your Excellency doesn’t have to think much.”

Xiang Capsicum stopped teasing the mind, went up to the hand and his fingers interlocked: “I’m such a lowly status, and how can I ask for a marriage in the open? You and I in this life, can not be a real couple. But at least in this White Horse Temple, I am not that person’s concubine, you are not that person’s brother, we can put aside the identity, like a husband and wife, even if only a few days. Chen Zian, are you willing?”

Chen Zian looked back at Xiang Capsicum’s gentle, watery eyes, and the struggle in his heart gradually dissolved.

Yesterday’s events are like yesterday’s death, and today’s events are like today’s birth.

The saints do not stagnate in things, but are able to move with the world.
