 This time going to the north, Chen Rong also came with them. His body had been tossed for more than a month and he hadn't collapsed directly.

    He was the one that the soldiers imagined to be sick every now and then.

    Along the way, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu took good care of him, all the good things were given to him, and they never let him go to the ground. They waited upon him meticulously, but he still fell ill.

    Li Mingjin got up later than Luo Shuyu, and when he heard that he was going to hire a doctor, he asked them what was the matter: "Who's sick?"

 

He put his hand on Luo Shuyu's forehead, "It's good if it’s not you."

Luo Shuyu said, "It's not me, it's Mr. Chen. I heard from the servant that he had diarrhea and vomiting yesterday, and now he still has a high fever. I don't know what's going on, so I'll send someone to the city to hire a doctor."

Li Mingjin: "After breakfast , let's go see him together."


    The servant was lucky, soon he found a doctor with a gray beard in the city, and brought him directly into the mansion.

    After the diagnosis and treatment, the servants boiled the medicine, and after drinking it, the fever began to drop slowly.

    What Dr. Fang couldn't do last night after staying up all night, the doctor in the city could do it right away.

    Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu invited the doctor to the main hall. After asking, they found out that the doctor was really good at treating the sickness because of not acclimatized, just prescribed the right medicine.

    Before the doctor left, Luo Shuyu asked him casually: "I heard that there is a doctor called Jiebaidu here, is this true?"

 

 The doctor's expression was a little subtle: "Jiebaidu? The third imperial concubine may have heard it wrong, but the little one has never heard of it."

[解: jiě to solve; 百: bǎi hundred; numerous; 毒: dú poison]

Luo Shuyu saw that he was unnatural, and didn't ask further: "I also only heard about it, it turned out to be a fake rumor. I thought it was like the doctor in the story, with that kind of Jianghu atmosphere."

    The doctor cupped his hands and said: "The little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense, the little one really haven't heard of it."

    Luo Shuyu: "Oh, forget it."

    After sending the doctor away, Li Mingjin said: "He lied, when you just mentioned Jiebaidu, his complexion was a little wrong."

    Luo Shuyu agreed with him: "Then do you want to send someone to watch him?"

    Li Mingjin: "Of course, Anjiu has already followed him."

    Luo Shuyu was also a little surprised. He hadn't gotten any news about Jiebaidu before, but he got some clues as soon as he came to Gucheng. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or luck.

 


    Not long after the doctor left, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin went to see Chen Rong. The latter's body temperature dropped slowly and he became sober.

    It just he looked pale, more pale than when he was in the capital.

    Luo Shuyu thought that this person needed to be carefully raised. It was really hard work to follow them through mountains and rivers. He really didn't know how could this person travel around the world with this body. It was really hard to understand.

    "Thank you for your concern, I can still hold on."

    Li Mingjin asked him: "Mr. Chen, what is your disease?"

    Chen Rong coughed again, and the cough became worse, and the considerate servant patted his back, Luo Shuyu saw this, and he said to Li Mingjin: "It's better to let Mr. Chen rest for two days. After a while, we will treat him to eat local specialties when he gets better."

 

Li Mingjin nodded and said to Chen Rong: "Then you have a good rest."

    Luo Shuyu told the servants outside to take good care of him, and to tell them as soon as possible if there was anything needed.

    Housekeeper Sun of the Third Prince's Mansion didn’t go to the north with them this time. After all, he had to take care of the original Third Prince's Mansion, so he had to stay.

    Housekeeper Sun's loyalty had been verified in the previous life. The whole family was loyal to the Third Prince's Mansion. Luo Shuyu was quite at ease with him, and there was nothing wrong with let him stay in the capital.

    After a whole day of rest, the servants already put all the boxes and baskets in order, the old mansion should be cleaned up, the curtains should be replaced with new curtains. Except that the layout of the mansion couldn’t be really changed, the layout of the main courtyard where Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin live was 70% similar to the courtyard  in the capital.

    They also slowly tidied up the other places. In winter, they could only swept away the snow in the yard, but no green plants could be grown, so Luo Shuyu sent someone to clean up the rotten leaves and branches.

    In the winter in the capital, you could see not only the white snow, but also a lot of green, but not necessarily in the north. There was not even a green leaf on the branches. Although it would grow in spring, it was quite desolate now. Looking around, there was no green at all.

    But this was his choice, if they got through, they might see hope, but if they sought pleasure, their ends would be bleak.

    Luo Shuyu repeatedly told himself that this was his and Li Mingjin's new life, he should learn to enjoy it, cherish it, and posses it.

    Life in the north would surely become an unforgettable memory for him in the future.

    There was a sentence in the book that was true, “only those who have endured the most difficult hardships become the most outstanding people”.

    The day passed quickly.

    Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were also going to attend the dust-cleaning banquet prepared by Governor Zhu.

    The journey was not far, just in the Governor Zhu's mansion.

    They went neither early nor late. In Gucheng, their status was already the highest.
