Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 706 Journey to the Mountains and Seas 14

He had his back to the bed, holding a teacup in his right hand and something in his left, which he then tossed behind him.

"Miss Ning, take a look at this. Do you remember it?"

Wen Piaoran reached out and caught the object. It was a small medicine bottle, originally from her own space. She opened it and found a pill inside.

“This looks familiar. Oh, it looks like the bottle I used to store pills. This is a Blood Restoration Pill.”

"More than ten years ago, you gave medicine to a boy who accidentally bumped into you and suddenly fell ill," Liu Suifeng said in a flat tone.

Wen Piaoran was feeling drowsy and listless.

She threw the medicine bottle back at him: "So, that boy was you. Did you come to me to repay a debt of gratitude or something?"

Liu Suifeng reached out and took it, without saying whether he would repay the favor or not. He simply asked, "Did you refine this pill? Do you still sell it?"

"You came here in the middle of the night just to buy my pills."

Do you have any other medicinal pills? I'd like to buy some.

"Yes, but I don't want to sell them." It's the middle of the night, and they're disturbing her sleep; she's not in the mood to sell any pills.

"You can name your terms, gold or silver, medicine, or something else?"

"I'm not selling. Don't disturb my sleep. If you don't leave, I'll have to see you off myself."

After Wen Piaoran finished speaking, she ignored him, lay down, pulled the blanket over her head, and continued to sleep.

"I apologize for being so presumptuous today. I'll come back to ask again next time."

After Liu Suifeng finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at the bed slightly, and finally left through the window.

"Nonsense," Wen Piaoran muttered, pulled the blanket down, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Here, Liu Suifeng walked down the street at night.

He also felt that his behavior just now seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Actually, he hadn't decided what he wanted to say before coming here; buying pills was just a reason he came up with on the spur of the moment.

Perhaps because this medicine bottle has been with me for so long, I can't help but think of its original owner from time to time.

Once you actually meet the person, your feelings will inevitably be complicated, and you'll also have to think about how to repay their kindness.

Unbeknownst to Liu Suifeng, he walked into a grove of trees, stopped, and stood with one hand behind his back.

By the moonlight, he looked at the medicine bottle in his other hand, lost in thought.

A night breeze swept by, causing his hair and robes to flutter in the wind, giving him an air of loneliness and aloofness.

"Young master, Xiao Qiushui is in that inn. Aren't we going to take her with us?" Song Mingzhu's figure appeared behind him.

Liu Suifeng didn't turn around. After a long while, he finally spoke: "With Ning Qi here, it won't be easy to take Xiao Qiushui away."

Song Mingzhu frowned as she thought of Ning Qi, remembering the time when Ning Qi had caught her.

She looked ahead and noticed that the young master seemed to be holding something in his hand.

This white jade medicine bottle seems to have always been carried close to the young master's body over the years; I wonder what its meaning is.

"Is there anything else?" Liu Suifeng asked, seeing that the man neither spoke nor left.

Song Mingzhu came to her senses: "Young Master, the Sword King has also brought his men to the vicinity to keep an eye on Xiao Qiushui. Should we make arrangements in advance?"

"Let's wait and see what happens."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

Unexpectedly, Wen Piaoran led Xiao Qiushui away, avoiding the notice of both sides.

By the time Sword King and Liu Suifeng's men reacted, the two had already vanished without a trace.

While the Sword King was furious, Liu Suifeng remained unusually silent, as if he wasn't surprised at all.

Meanwhile, Wen Piaoran led Xiao Qiushui all the way to reunite with his parents.

She dropped the person off and didn't plan to keep them any longer.

Before leaving, he reminded Xiao Qiushui, "If the Power Gang can't find you, your older brother and the others are probably in danger. You should work hard to become stronger."

Xiao Qiushui had just cried to her parents, and her eyes were still red.

"I will unite with forces that refuse to collude with those in power to fight against them, but I am now a cripple, and I don't know if I can do it."

"Yes, but the process might not be easy. I'm looking forward to seeing you shine."

"I've said thank you many times, but I still want to say thank you again." Xiao Qiushui took out a box and handed it to her.

This was something I had discussed with my parents, a reward and a token of my gratitude to Wen Piaoran.

Wen Piaoran opened the box and took a look; it was full of silver notes.

After she closed the box, she waved it around and said, "You're welcome, you gave me money."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Wen Piaoran left alone.

She went to Qunfang Courtyard, booked a private room, ordered a table full of delicious dishes, had wine served, and invited several young ladies and gentlemen inside to perform their talents.

When Wen woke up, it was already the next day. He spent the next two days leisurely, planning to travel around and see the sights.

"Host, what are you doing in the palace?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Come and see the annoying emperor in the story, and take a one-night tour of the palace."

Wen Piaoran, holding an umbrella, strolled leisurely along the main road of the palace, seemingly invisible to passersby.

It was raining at night, and she occasionally admired the palace buildings, as if she really was just there for a visit.

Seeing the host's expression, Xiao Qi knew he wasn't just there to make a simple visit: "Host, you don't actually want to kill the emperor, do you? There's some unrest in the Northern Wilderness right now. If the throne changes hands, the imperial power will be unstable and cause chaos."

"I won't kill them, I'll just see if there's any hope left. If there's no hope, then let's put someone else in power."

She didn't want the Northern Wilderness to attack, the royal family to have internal strife, and the emperor to be so stupid.

Not only do江湖人士 (jianghu figures) have to help clean up the mess, but they also have to fight wars for the scoundrel emperor.

Of course, the villains also played a role in stirring up trouble, so replacing them with a capable emperor might have avoided the problems.

Wen Piaoran was also lucky; she came to the palace on a whim today and actually witnessed the main event.

She was sitting cross-legged on the roof of a palace, invisible, looking down at the two people below.

Li Chenzhou and the current emperor of Da Xi were sitting upright talking when the atmosphere became tense after only a few words.

Finally, the story ends with Li Chenzhou feeling unwell after drinking alcohol, and the emperor leaving behind a medicine before departing alone.

Seeing this scene, Wen Piaoran recalled the fate of most characters in the story and couldn't help but complain: "Xiao Qi, the plot is too far-fetched. Li Chenzhou is so powerful, yet he still has to be coerced by the royal family. In the end, he and Zhao Shirong both died too hastily."

Li Chenzhou is not afraid of death, and he claims to be under the control of the royal family for the sake of the people and the greater good.

It is only with such a hypocritical and useless emperor who only suspects people and stirs up internal strife that the people become unhappy.

Xiao Qi: "This is a drama with Xiao Qiushui as the main character. Of course, the other characters are not that important, and their exit times are also arranged."

"Boring. They're either main characters or just pre-programmed tools, only there to drive the plot forward," Wen Piaoran said, pursing her lips.

"Host, do you want to be the emperor?"
