The Destiny of Love in Ancient Times
Injured

THE NEXT DAY, Qing Mao woke up as usual. A little bit of daylight. But Hyou did not come to open the window or prepare breakfast as usual.

Qing Mao knew that the man was fighting with Gu Wei who possessed Gu Wenlian's body. When it came out of the green jade ring artifact room last night, it was at least early in the morning and Hyou was still struggling with the man.

Unexpectedly, this morning Hyou was nowhere to be seen.

"You!" call Qing Mao while getting out of bed and going to the main room.

There was no sign of Hyou. The maid said the man left the house with a serious injury.

"Young Miss, Servant Chief Hyou said if she was going to meet someone. Most likely will not return anytime soon. All the affairs in the house will be left to the capable servants belonging to the Han prince," explained Dong Mei who came to report.

Fan Chen only sighed beside the woman, a sign confirming everything.

"Servant Han Baimo?" Qing Mao was surprised. "When will he come?"

"Chou's servant has been here since the early hours of today."

"..." - ".Why doesn't anyone give it to you? Qing Mao was a little helpless.

Hyou was injured quite badly. Perhaps in Qing Mao's eyes, the wound was severe. If it wasn't severe, then how would the man just leave the house?

And ... Why did Hyou choose the servant Han Baimo brought?

The name of the capable servant beside Han Baimo had all along been named Chou. A man who was almost the same age as Hyou. Qing Mao saw him for the first time when the white-robed man was serving food on the table.

Merely, looking at the man's somewhat suspicious smile, Qing Mao had a slight discomfort in her heart. The food served on the dining table looked foreign to Qing Mao. This is not a modern dish.

Until finally he remembered that all the dishes were true icons of cultivator's time food. Qing Mao also ate it often but .. this time she did not want to.

“The clear chicken soup mixed with spiritual mushrooms is perfect for Miss Qing. There was also a green vegetable stir-fry ..” Chou mentioned all the dishes served on the table, leaving Qing Mao numb.

The man said again. “Your Majesty Han said that Miss Qing really likes clear chicken soup.”

“...” Qing Mao knew that. He likes chicken soup. But ... This time the chicken soup is different, the taste is different and like drinking a slightly salty brine.

The savory taste of chicken broth and flavoring is not at all found in the dish. In the days of cultivators back then, some herbs were very6 less and some were relying on natural ingredients.

So right now, feeling a simple and natural taste, Qing Mao was not used to it. The servants who helped Chou arrange the food on the table were sympathetic to their young miss. Of course the waiters in the kitchen also know, what Chou put into his cooking.

Simple and very easy. Except for a slightly better green vegetable stir-fry, other dishes are not necessarily tasty on their tongues.

All the servants of Qing Mao might be from ancient times but the taste on their tongues was already modern since it was set by Hyou. So, they knew very well what savory and fragrant broth spices were like.

Qing Mao sighed and looked at Chou with a helpless expression. “Can next time, add broth seasoning?” tanyakanya.

“Sorry, Miss, but foods containing excessive MSG are not good for the body,” Chou replied with a friendly smile without guilt.

“...” You don't know modern times but do you know what MSG is? Think Qing Mao.

Most likely, it was Hyou who told her.

After breakfast, Qing Mao went around the courtyard and saw several maids cleaning leaves, broken twigs as well as crushed flower pots. She's stunned. To this extent? Not even Hyou had time to repair the courtyard and go to Han Baimo's place?

“Dong May, Fan Chen!” call him.

Immediately, two Qing Mao secret guards appeared.

“Nona, what can we do?” ask Dong Mei.

“Go and find out what's going on in the capital today. News from the palace. If you guys see Gu Yihao, let him come here.” He gave the order.

The two secret guards nodded and immediately disappeared from the place. The other eight secret guards were clearly in the darkness and were keeping all corners of the courtyard well.

Qing Mao was still worried about Gu Wenlian being possessed by Gu Wei. His strength had not recovered at this time. He had to ask Gu Yihao to help him unlock his spiritual energy back. That way, he can be as strong as before.

Other than that ….

* * *

Right now, where Han Baimo was.

The palace courtyard is quite spacious and full of tranquility enlivened by the chirping of birds in the trees.

Han Baimo wore a white brocade robe, his hair was stroked, some of his hair was tied up simply so that it seemed neater. He carried a tray on which was a bowl of dark-colored medicine that was still warm.

In the room, Hyou's figure lay weakly on the bed. His face was pale and his body was trembling slightly. He doesn't look healthy in the least. Even some of the wounds on his body had also experienced natural healing, only it was extremely slow.

There was Gu Yihao guarding her. The man sipped his tea and thought about what Hyou told him when he came to him.

“Lain times, don't over-exert yourself. Gu Wei is not your opponent at all,” Han Baimo said. He placed the tray on the round table, the place where Gu Yihao was sitting at the moment.

Hyou did not reply and was too tired to argue with her. If not to protect Qing Mao, he wouldn't have bothered to fight last night.

“Again, you're not as strong as you used to be. Every time you make Qing Mao and Hao Hao reincarnate again and again, isn't it sacrificing your soul piece bit by bit?” Han Baimo was still not satisfied nagging him.

Hyou's soul shook. Yes, he did sacrifice a piece of his soul while remaking the couple's life. In order to defeat Gu Wei and erase the dark history of the future, he had to fulfill this task.

“Please ... don't tell the girl about this.” Hyou just made a wish.

Han Baimo exhaled helplessly and her regretful expression also subsided.

Her servant went to Qing Mao's house and she didn't like other servants taking care of her needs. So he intervened himself in taking care of the medicine for Hyou.

Gu Yihao did not think too much of Hyou who would most likely disappear after Gu Wei was annihilated. He looked at Han Baimo with a jealous look in his heart.

“This king is able to send a waiter to Mao’er. Why should you interfere? Your little waitress may be very old-fashioned,. How can you cook a delicious dish?”

Gu Yihao was dissatisfied and thought that Qing Mao would not get used to the extremely natural cultivators' age food anymore.
