Translator: Storm in a Teacup
He took out a clean but crumpled envelop from inside his dirty clothes and pressed it forcefully before handing it to An Rushuang. “Read it by yourself,” he said still in a low voice.
He couldn’t help feeling disappointed. His master would rather leave a letter to An Rushuang whom he had merely known for several days than tell him the truth.
As slightly stunned as she was, An Rushuang seized the letter and pulled the piece of paper out, her fingertips trembling a little. Bian Wen actually left two letters. His handwriting was a little illegible, but the paper was clean enough. It seemed that he must wrote them in a hurry.
The first letter was to An Rushuang.
Miss An,
The crown prince had sent for me several days ago. Though intending to bid farewell to you, I couldn’t made up my mind yet. It was out of my expectation that I would say goodbye to you in this way.
The reason why I refused to teach you medicine and introduced you to Luo Qu was that I had to leave here as soon as possible due to the exposure of my identity, rather than minding your intention to murder someone with medical skills. Since I will be all right, it is unnecessary to search for me.
Best wishes to you.
An Rushuang could imagine that scene. With the turmoil outside, Bian Wen sighed as he gazed at the window before writing this letter to say goodbye to her. As for Ye Chengzhi, maybe because it was too hard for Bian Wen to bid farewell to his face.
With her eyes a little teary, An Rushuang sighed. “Since he had said goodbye to me, there was no need to tell me the reason…”
This crafty old man was really her big trouble.
And she definitely couldn’t turn her back on him.
There were merely a few lines, as well as vague marks of tears in the second letter.
Given the words “To Luo Qu”, An Rushuang knew immediately that this was the letter she had always desired for. However, it was Bian Wen’s last words written in desperate situation.
I write this letter to you after thirty years’ separation.
In my dream, I have always come back to the Emerald Lake.
Please bury me beside the lake after my death if I have a chance to return.
Can we grow old together in the next world?
Signature: Bian Wen, the man deserves to die.
Almost shedding tears, An Rushuang took a deep breath before folding the paper and putting it back into the envelop. She turned to Ye Chengzhi and asked earnestly, “Do you know Mr. Bian Wen’s whereabouts? Did two group of people visit him last night?”
Based on her observation, it couldn’t be Ye Chengzhi’s blood or he hurt someone so badly thus making them bleed heavily. The truth must be that two groups of people had a fight with each other and, subsequently made such a mess.
Ye Chengzhi stared at An Rushuang in astonishment. It suddenly dawned on him that why his master would leave letters to this young girl. Except for medical skills, An Rushuang was really much more capable than him.
Given his expression, An Rushuang knew she was right. “Besides crown prince’s followers, did someone else visit him?”
According to An Rushuang, since crown prince had taken action, other princes should have gotten some information, too. They wouldn’t let the legendary doctor off the hook. It merely depended on the fact that who took the lead.
Among all the princes, the second prince Zhu Han was most likely to have a conflict with the Crown Prince.
Ye Chengzhi shook his head and murmured, “There is only you besides the crown prince.”
As angry as she was, An Rushuang really intended to awaken him by giving him a good beat. With his pale face full of worry, Ye Chengzhi was squatting down and supporting his forehead with his hands, half shielding his bloodshot eyes. It was evident that he hadn’t slept for the whole night.
Given her poor condition, An Rushuang only sighed. “Silly man! How could I harm Mr. Bian Wen!”
It seemed that Ye Chengzhi had observed the anger in her tone. He shook his head in a hurry, “I didn’t mean that. Besides crown prince’s followers, there were no other people. Two groups came here, but I am so foolish that I even have no idea which group kidnapped my master…”
As frustrated as he was, Ye Chengzhi murmured blankly, “I am useless.” He slumped to the ground in listlessness.
An Rushuang said coldly with a frown, “Two groups?”
Ye Chengzhi nodded in silence. Enraged by his depression, An Rushuang ordered loudly, “Hong Yu, fetch a basin of water!”
Though a little surprised, Hong Yu still followed her order given the fury in her eyes. She got a basin of cold well water and returned in panic.
An Rushuang pointed to Ye Chengzhi’s head and said expressionlessly, “Pour it on his head. Awaken him.”
Hong Yu was surprised. “My lady…” She stared at An Rushuang pleadingly. An Rushuang turned to Ye Chengzhi who was still bitterly indulged in his own pain.
“Do it.” An Rushuang said coolly, “What? Refuse to obey my order?”
She hardly scolded Hong Yu as harshly as that. With tears almost gushing out of her eyes, Hong Yu poured the whole basin of freezing well water over Ye Chengzhi’s head.
As the chilling-bone water stroke his body, Ye Chengzhi got drenched all over. After a series of coughs, he gradually calmed down. The freezing water trickled down from his face and hair, as if he had just given a full vent to her sadness by crying wildly.
An Rushuang looked down at him and said, “Once in the dream for too long, it’s very easy to be lost in it. Have you woken up already?”
Ye Chengzhi turned to her, his mouth corners curled slightly. With the well water trickling down from his hair, he nodded seriously. “I have woken up. Thank you very much, Miss An.”
He stood up straightly and said, “Last night, crown prince’s followers waited outside the gate and wanted to take my master away. Suddenly, several men clad in black leaped down from the wall and caught me.”
Men in black? An Rushuang frowned. Did they intend to take the lives of Bian Wen and Ye Chengzhi?!
Ye Chengzhi took a breath and continued, “The people outside the gate heard the voice inside and intruded into the yard. And then, they began to fight against each other…”
He said with his voice trembling. “My master stuffed the envelop in my sleeves before I was knocked out. I totally have no idea who took away my master on earth!”
He shuddered in deep regret.
With her fist clenched, An Rushuang almost lost her mind. She forced herself to cool down and said slowly, “It’s not your fault. Since one of the groups was evidently the crown prince’s followers, the men in black must be working for the second prince Zhu Han. Crown prince has always been weak. It was because he wanted to keep it as a secret that he sent for Mr. Bian Wen at midnight. If Bian Wen was kidnapped by Zhu Han…” She didn’t finish her words, but Ye Chengzhi had already understood her meaning.
If caught by the second prince, Bian Wen was surely in danger.
