Chapter 163 If You Don’t See Me
It doesn’t matter if you get the needle in the wrong place or in the wrong direction.
Try again.
After repeating this process over and over again, Yan Yunshu became proficient in acupuncture after memorizing the prescriptions and acupuncture methods.
Then, she put the needle away carefully, lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the road ahead.
The carriage headed southwest, but another day passed.
The climate has completely changed. In the southwest, during the cold winter, the trees turn red and yellow, and fallen leaves are everywhere. The air is bleak but the temperature is just right.
Yan Yunshu took off her cloak.
She changed into a formal brocade robe and tied her long hair up high, leaving only a few playful strands of hair falling behind her ears, which made her look neat and beautiful.
After a few days, the scenery changed. There was a slowly flowing stream along the way, and the red and yellow trees and jungles were still beside the stream.
After another day, the landscape had completely changed into that of the southwest.
The flowing stream is even more cheerful. The banks of the stream are full of unknown small flowers, which are colorful and extremely beautiful.
Just like the Lingxu Lake she saw in Lingxiu City that day.
The lake was shrouded in warm mist, and small flowers like this were blooming by the lake.
Beautiful.
Like beautiful stars, they embellish a person's desolate heart.
Yan Yunshu couldn't help but mention to her accompanying maid Xiaoye the Lingxu Lake she saw that day.
However, Xiao Ye was shocked when she heard Yan Yunshu mention the vivid and lively Lingxu Lake. "Miss, Lingxu Lake is a legendary fairy lake. No one can see its true appearance, but you have seen it!"
"Fairy Lake? Although it's as beautiful as a fairy lake, it's just among the mountains and pines and cypresses. If you want to see it, you can naturally see it. How can no one see it?"
"Girl, everyone has been there, but there's no lake to be seen, no mist or flowers, only a dead lake bottom."
Yan Yunshu was surprised.
Xiaoye continued speaking, excitement showing on his face.
"That day, the villa's steward took a few of us with him to look for it."
"Really?" Yan Yunshu couldn't believe it. "But that day, King Nan'an took me and my cousins to look for it, and we saw that there was plenty of water, not a dry lake."
"Girl! The fairy lake is spiritual, it must have appeared for you!"
Yan Yunshu laughed when she heard this.
"Xiao Ye, when did you become so good at making up stories?"
"Girl! What Xiaoye said is true!"
Xiao Ye looked at the distrust in Yan Yunshu's eyes in surprise.
What she said was obviously true. Everyone in Lingxiu City knew the rumor about Lingxu Lake, but why didn't the girl believe it?
Yan Yunshu looked at the surprise in Xiaoye's eyes and finally became serious.
"Really?"
"Yes! Everyone in Lingxiu City knows it!"
Yan Yunshu thought about the Lingxu Lake she saw that day. It was indeed like a dream, as if it was not real.
But she could clearly feel the warmth emanating from the hot spring lake from afar. Xu Yichen could even point to the light mist in the center of the lake and tell her that Xu Jinghuai had also been there.
The answer can be found there.
She asked him, did they find it?
He said, found it.
It was clearly a living hot spring lake, not the dead lake that Xiaoye and the others had described.
Xiao Ye continued to ramble, "That place is clearly made of rock, but it's abnormally warm. It's very strange."
"Could it be that people have never found the right place?" Yan Yunshu leaned against the carriage, looking at Xiao Ye with a smile.
When Xiao Ye heard Yan Yunshu's question, he immediately began to explain.
"How could it be? That place is well known to all the people of Lingxiu City and is very easy to spot. Not only is the rock layer warm and shallow, bowl-shaped, it should be a lake, but there's no lake. Furthermore, Lingxiu City is surrounded by mountains, and only that spot has clusters of pines and cypresses standing out. It's quite unique. When I first came to Lingxiu City and heard them mention it, I didn't believe it. I thought it was just a dead hot spring lake. But now that the young lady actually claims to have seen it, I'm convinced. There really is a fairy lake there, but it's spiritual and doesn't want to show itself to the world. Only you are different. It wants you to see it, and you can see it!"
"That day, my cousins and Xu Yichen were all there."
Yan Yunshu looked at Xiao Ye and said, "If you really want to see the true appearance of Lingxu Lake, we will take you to see it when we return to Lingxiu City to see if you can see it."
"No, no." Xiao Ye clasped her ten fingers together devoutly. "The Immortal Lake is spiritual. Xiao Ye would never dare to touch it."
Yan Yunshu smiled.
Regarding this matter, although she believed that Xiaoye would not lie to her and thought that Lingxu Lake was indeed a mysterious place, she still had doubts in her heart.
How could there be something in this world that only a few people can see, but the rest of the world cannot?
If it was just a small item, it would be fine, but that was an entire lake.
However, now that she has lived a new life and such things have happened, a spiritual lake may really exist.
She thought that this time when she brought Xu Jinghuai back to Lingxiu City, she would definitely take Xu Jinghuai with her to take a look.
And ask him what questions he asked.
What answer did you get?
Just thinking about it.
But I heard a few rustling sounds coming from outside the carriage.
Falcon's voice came, "Girl, there's a march three kilometers ahead."
Yan Yunshu's smile froze on her face, her heart was beating like a drum, and she felt complicated.
She wanted to see Xu Jinghuai very much.
But she was also afraid, afraid that she could not convince Xu Jinghuai, afraid that Xu Jinghuai was determined to die.
"Miss, are we ready to march now? If so, Falcon will go to the leader and explain our purpose."
"Go quickly."
Yan Yunshu's voice was trembling. There were too many unpredictable things.
Right now, it was something she could not predict and had no answer to.
After the falcon left, the carriage continued to approach the army and marched forward in parallel half a kilometer away from the army.
Yan Yunshu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the army from afar, which was like a long dragon and was rushing towards Fenglin City at an unprecedented speed.
Are you in such a hurry? Xu Jinghuai!
What is it all for!
Yan Yunshu's brows were furrowed, her face solemn.
The carriage was speeding, and Xiaoye was shaken from side to side and almost vomited.
Yan Yunshu placed Xiaoye in a rest stop along the way.
She continued to bounce around in the carriage.
If it were any other time, she would have vomited like Xiaoye, but now, she had something on her mind, which drew her attention, and the bumpy carriage had no effect on her.
An hour passed.
The falcon still hasn't returned.
Another hour passed, and in the distance, two teams of cavalry, guided by falcons, galloped towards her carriage.
The carriage stopped and the cavalry also stopped in front of the carriage. Yan Yunshu hurriedly put on her cloak and veil, got off the carriage, and looked at the visitor expectantly through the veil.
The cavalry took the lead, dismounted, and saluted Yan Yunshu.
Said, "The emperor sent us to escort the young lady back to Lingxiu City immediately."
Yan Yunshu's brows suddenly turned cold.
She pulled off the veil and cloak on her head and took off the white jade hairpin that held up her long hair.
Her long hair cascaded down, and she pressed the white jade hairpin against her throat, her eyes firm and cold.
"Reporting to your Majesty, if you don't see me, I will die here."
