The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 460 Successfully Feeding Medicine

Hongmei did not dare to delay. When she was hungry, she ate some dry food she brought with her. When she was tired, she took a nap leaning against a tree by the roadside. She rushed to the capital of Daxia day and night. After five horses died, she finally returned to the capital and went straight to the courtyard where she stayed.

"who?"

Hearing the noise outside the door, a tall man in ordinary cloth clothes in the yard flashed behind the closed door and asked vigilantly.

"It's me, Hongmei, open the door!"

Hongmei's hoarse voice came from outside the door.

"Captain, why are you in such a mess? What happened?"

After opening the door, he saw that it was indeed Hongmei. The man put away the dagger in his hand, supported the slightly shaky Hongmei, and asked with a frown.

"It's okay. I've been riding for days and my legs are rubbed raw. Go get me some hot water and some medicine, and I'll take care of it."

Hongmei leaned on the man in a strange posture, and spoke as she walked into the house.

"Okay, Captain, drink some water and take a rest first, I'll be back soon!"

The man helped Hongmei sit down inside the house, poured her a cup of warm water, and then quickly ran to the kitchen.

A quarter of an hour later, the man came in with a large basin of water and a towel on his arm. After putting the things on the table, he took out a bottle of golden wound medicine from his arms.

"Captain, please clean and apply medicine quickly. I'm in the yard. Call me if you need anything!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

The man agreed, left Hongmei's room, closed the door, and stood guard outside.

Hongmei stood up with the help of the armrest, slowly moved to the table, took off her dirty clothes and started cleaning up.

She had been traveling for days and was almost exhausted, so she cleaned very slowly. It took her a full quarter of an hour to finish cleaning and change into clean clothes.

Hearing the door creak open, the man in the yard quickly came to Hongmei and asked with concern: "Captain, do you want to call a doctor for you? I see that you don't look very well."

"No, I'm tired!"

Hongmei smiled at the man and looked up at the sky. It was noon.

"I'll catch up on my sleep. I have a mission from my master tonight. Please wake me up at 1 p.m."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hongmei turned back to her room, took two steps, then stepped back, looked at the man and asked, "By the way, where are the others? Why are you here alone?"

"Oh, they went to investigate near the General's Mansion. It is said that Zhao Ting'er is sick. She has not appeared since you left!"

The man bowed to Hongmei and replied. He couldn't help but feel worried when he thought about the situation on Zhao Ting'er's side.

"Leave half of the people to watch over the General's Mansion, and call the rest back to rest! I will go on the evening mission alone."

Hongmei thought for a moment and then gave the order.

"Yes, Captain!"

The man agreed, disguised himself, went out of the yard, locked the door, and left quickly.

Hongmei closed the door and fell asleep with her clothes on.

"Captain, Captain? Wake up!"

Time passed quickly. It was already Chou hour. The yard was dark and no lights were on. In the moonlight, people could be vaguely seen. The man in the daytime was gently knocking on Hongmei's door.

After a long while, Hongmei's voice was heard in the room.

"I'm up, go to bed!"

The man did not leave, but waited outside the door.

Half a minute later, the door opened with a creak. Hongmei was now dressed in black, her hair tied up high, and a black scarf covering most of her face.

"Captain, what mission are you going to carry out? I'd better go with you! It's better for the two of us to take care of each other."

"The master has given Zhao Ting'er medicine. I need to sneak into the general's mansion and feed her the medicine to ensure her safety. Too many people will make it easier for her to be discovered. Don't worry, the master has given me a magical medicine, and no one else can find me!"

Seeing that the man looked worried, Hongmei felt a little warmed in the heart and patted his shoulder and said.

"Captain, your leg is injured and you can't move as easily as I can. Why don't you give me the medicine and I'll complete the mission?"

The man glanced between Hongmei's legs and asked tentatively.

"No need. I have to do this myself to make sure it's correct, otherwise all of our lives will be in danger! Okay, go and have a rest. I'm leaving now!"

Hongmei waved to the man, jumped onto the wall nimbly, and disappeared in a moment, as if the wound between her legs was gone.

As soon as Hongmei's figure disappeared, the man's concerned expression disappeared. He carefully looked around and saw that everyone else was asleep. He then slipped out of the yard and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Hongmei left the yard and soon came to the back door of the general's mansion. She listened attentively for a while, then carefully jumped onto the wall, avoiding the patrolling guards all the way, and soon came to the outside of the courtyard where Zhao Ting'er lived.

There were at least six people with great martial arts skills in the yard. Hongmei didn't dare to get too close. She hid in a bush outside the yard, waiting silently.

Suddenly a breeze blew, and Hongmei moved suddenly. She restrained her breath, used her lightness skills to land on a big tree outside Zhao Ting'er's courtyard, took out the black porcelain bottle given to her by the national teacher, held her breath, opened the bottle mouth, and at the same time used her internal strength to help the medicine float into Zhao Ting'er's yard along the wind direction.

After not hearing any movement in the courtyard, Hongmei put away the porcelain bottle and quickly sneaked into Zhao Ting'er's bedroom.

Zhao Ting'er was seen lying on the bed, thin and gaunt, like an old person, dying. Her personal nanny was lying on the edge of the bed, and both of them had fallen asleep.

In order to prevent them from waking up and making noise, Hongmei moved lightly, carefully took out the white porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill, reached out and gently pinched Zhao Tinger's mouth open, and fed the pill to her.

After doing all this, she did not stop, but left quickly while the masters outside were still unconscious.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

When Hongmei returned to the courtyard, she happened to meet the man who had just returned. She thought he was worried about her, so he had been waiting for her to come back without rest, so she softened her voice and asked.

"Captain, I'm worried about you. How's it going? Have you given the medicine to Zhao Ting'er?"

The man's eyes flashed and he approached Hongmei and asked.

"Feed her. With the master's medicine protecting her, her life will not be in danger. In the next period of time, I will find a way to enter the general's mansion and protect her closely!"

Hongmei pulled down the veil on her face and said to the man with a gentle expression.

"That's good, Captain. You should take a good rest for a few days. It won't be too late to enter the General's Mansion after your injuries are healed!"

"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements, go and get some rest!"

Seeing the man looking at her with concern, Hongmei felt warmer in her heart and gave him a big smile.

Seeing the man nod and walk towards his room, she turned and walked into the room. After a while, she fell into a deep sleep and entered a dream.

With a creak, the man's door opened again. After making sure that everyone was asleep, he quietly left the yard again.
