companion marriage

"Haven't contacted for many years?" After hearing this, Xia Zhen was very surprised. Could it be that this brother and her sister are not very close, that's why they haven't contacted for a long time.And when she treated Bai Xiaochen five years ago, she clearly saw that she was seriously injured. The clothes on her body were torn and her bones were broken, but the internal injuries were quite serious. It can't stop here, and it was later discovered that she was struck by lightning after the fact!

For this, she was astonished and didn't say anything, and even called it strange again and again.

In other words, the injury did seem to be severely struck by lightning, but Bai Xiaochen was really lucky that he survived the lightning strike, which really shows that this person is shrewd in humane arts.

I don't know if luck is good or bad.

It's hard to say.She was struck by lightning and still alive, lucky.

say yes.Is it okay to be struck by lightning?

"...Mmm." Bai Xiaochen was silent for a moment, then Fang nodded.The eyelashes fell, and the shadow quietly slipped down the eyes. "I don't know how my younger brother is doing..."

Yes, I don't know how Xiao Ran is doing?Did Chu Lan treat him well?Are you still following the promise you made back then with Xiao Ran?

He clearly knew that neither Xiao Ran nor Chu Xi would remember him when he went to the capital.

However, I still hope to see them.

Even if it's just watching from a distance, it's good to see them.

Will not expect anything, and will not beg for anything.

She didn't expect that she would survive.

Just, hoping.

In my own line of sight, watching from afar.

Seeing that Bai Xiaochen didn't want to say anything more, although Xia Zhen was often nervous, she still couldn't see the other party's loneliness.

Shut up wisely, but you can't control all kinds of wild thoughts in your head.

Could it be that her younger brother eloped with the woman?Or a vendetta?There must be something unspeakable~~~~

"What are your plans for going to the capital?" At this moment, Miracle Doctor Xia, who had never spoken a word, asked.

The genius doctor Xia who spoke was the genius doctor who delivered Chu Xi five years ago. Because the traces of Bai Xiaochen's existence in the world were destroyed by the way of heaven, the miracle doctor Xia had already forgotten Bai Xiaochen.

"This junior is also thinking about this these days. After much deliberation, I still plan to go to the Yin Yang Department of the capital to find an errand." Bai Xiaochen said respectfully with downcast eyes.

"That's it." Saying that, Miracle Doctor Xia floated the tea with the tea lid. "Since you have no relatives in Yecheng, it shouldn't be difficult for you to come to the capital to seek an errand as your onmyoji."

"Yes." Bai Xiaochen lowered his head, swallowing the sigh under his lips, unable to swallow it or spit it out.

It took nearly a month before they arrived in the capital.During this period, Bai Xiaochen's body was half healed. Although he couldn't be as active as Xia Zhen, he was still able to walk around alone.

In this regard, Bai Xiaochen is grateful to the doctor Xia and Xia Zhen who saved him.

Looking at the capital in front of her, she was stunned and had the illusion that she didn't know what to do. If Xia Zhen hadn't pulled her out of the carriage, she might still be stuck on the horse alone and couldn't get out.

The capital seems to have changed a lot in the past five years, but nothing seems to have changed.

There is still a lot of traffic and voices.There is an endless stream of people coming and going, either hawking or shouting.

Vaguely, it was impossible to distinguish between reality and memory.

One staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, even if Xia Zhen beside her supported her, she might have already fallen down by herself.

Xia Zhen supported Bai Xiaochen with a look of surprise on her face. "Hey? What's the matter with you?" The professional pulse signaled smoothly, frowning and pointing fingers. "The pulse condition is weak and weak, and the blood is weak." After a moment of silence, he turned his head and stared at Bai Xiaochen. "Do you have some pain in your chest recently, and you often can't get through it?"

Bai Xiaochen froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Indeed."

"You are obviously depressed. I will prescribe some medicine for you in a while. Drink it well, but it mainly depends on yourself. Thinking too much is not good for your health."

"......I see."

Bai Xiaochen knew that her identity was unknown, and the hidden guards would not let her enter the palace, so when she arrived in the capital, she told Xia Zhen that she would arrange a place to live in the capital first, and now she will temporarily stay in a hotel, and when the arrangements are made, she will Yes will inform.

After bidding farewell to the two of them, Bai Xiaochen walked among the crowd alone. After all, it was under the imperial city, and the house price was naturally much more expensive.When she returned to the Bai Mansion in Yecheng, she was asked to find the old master of the Bai family in the secret room full of onmyoji classics. Fake 'identity documents' and a large number of bank notes and silver taels.The name and household registration have also changed.Bai Xiaochen is Yan Chen, and Bai Xiaoran is Yan Ran.I heard that the Yan surname is the surname of the father's family of the old master of the Bai family.Fortunately, as long as you don't get a position as an onmyoji in the Onmyoji Department of the capital, people with a little spiritual power will become the assistants of the onmyoji after certain assessments.And the money from the ancestral house was used to pay Xia Zhen's medical expenses, and there was still a lot left over from renting a small courtyard.Because I was not a commoner in the capital, I couldn't buy the courtyard.

I went through the relevant 'procedures' again, purchased some items, and cleaned the house. After getting busy, it was not until noon on the second day that it was over.Shaking his head, his neck was stiff, dizzy and uncomfortable.

Bai Xiaochen frowned and rubbed his belly.After a simple meal, he went out to the Onmyoji Department.

Thanks to her good luck, she happened to be in time for the assessment of the last batch of 'assistants', Deputy Yin-Yang.

And even if it was the last day of the assessment, the number of people who came to take the test was quite large.

The assessment includes the amount of spiritual power and the knowledge of related assistance, of course.The content is not as difficult as the onmyoji assessment, but it is only selected after multiple comparisons.

The turmoil five years ago not only wiped out the imperial court, but also affected the Onmyoji Department, reducing its staff to one-fifth.And because the family of onmyojis was almost uprooted, there were a lot of vacancies among the onmyojis in the capital.

It doesn't take long for one person to complete the overall assessment, but there are too many people, and the time will be longer.

The results of the assessment will be announced on the notice two days later.

On the one hand, Bai Xiaochen was weak, and on the other hand, she didn't want to attract too much attention, so she deliberately 'procrastinated' a lot.

It wasn't until the next day that I saw the results that I found out that among the 50 people selected, she was ranked in the upper middle.

Not up or down, just right.

So far, only the high priest and the national teacher can see or be summoned by the emperor, and the duties of the onmyoji are not only assisting the onmyoji, but also doing some "physical work" for the sacrificial activities in the palace.This is also one of the important reasons why Bai Xiaochen didn't show too much.

In this way, will she, who often 'activities' in the palace, have a chance to meet Chu Xi?

Therefore, after the announcement of the assessment results, he was called to go through some procedures and certifications in the Yin Yang Department before he was announced to take office three days later.

Returning to the residence with the full-time sky-blue hunting clothes and official hat of the deputy yin and yang, he simply tidied up and heard Xia Zhen's voice.

It turned out that after she left the inn, she told the innkeeper that if anyone asked about her address, she would tell her in time, so Xia Zhen, who had returned from the palace, came to find her.

Going out to greet her, seeing that Xia Zhen was alone, she couldn't help being taken aback. "Miraculous Doctor Xia?"

"Ah, my master, I've been left here~~~" Shrugging her shoulders, Xia Zhen put her hands behind her head, shook her head and said, "I'm here, and you didn't tell me to go in?"

Bai Xiaochen was happy. "Please come in quickly, Miracle Doctor Xiaoxia."

Pretentiously squinting her eyes and nodding her head a few times, Xia Zhen walked into Bai Xiaochen's room. "Not to mention, the place you are looking for is not bad." Turning her head, Xia Zhen continued: "By the way, have you found a job at the Yin Yang Bureau?"

"En." Bai Xiaochen invited Xia Zhen to a seat, and poured tea for her. "Just in time, I was admitted to the Yin-Yang Deputy Department."

"Hey? Isn't it an Onmyoji?" Xia Zhen took Bai Xiaochen's teacup and drank it down in one gulp.He looked at the bottom of the cup and clicked his tongue. "By the way, Ah Chen, I don't understand. Both you and the master like to drink tea, but what's so good about tea?"

Bai Xiaochen still smiled gently, and continued to pour for him. "fine."

Xia Zhen scratched her head. "By the way, I asked you just now, why didn't you pass the exam as an Onmyoji?"

"Onmyoji can't take the exam anytime and anywhere. There are specific exam dates, and the exam content is quite complicated." Her eyelashes fell, successfully covering her half-closed eyes. "What's more, yin and yang are very suitable for what I want." As she spoke, she seemed to be sighing, and the tone was swallowed into her mouth, leaving only dryness.

"What do you want?" I really don't understand. Onmyoji's status and enshrinement are more than those of Yinyang Deputy. It's not 01:30, and the attention he receives is even more incomparable to Yinyang Deputy. Although she has never seen the Yinyang of the capital How powerful the master is, but after what she has seen for a while, Ah Chen's onmyoji is quite powerful. Could it be that the Onmyoji from the Onmyoji Bureau is more capable?Seeing Bai Xiaochen sipping tea carefully, Xia Zhen seemed to have remembered something.Excitedly said: "Hey? I saw the queen!"

Holding the teacup's finger, Bai Xiaochen raised his eyes and pursed his lips, trying to keep his tone steady, but there was still a slight tremor. "Empress?"

"Yeah, didn't I tell you? The reason why master and I came to the capital is to treat His Majesty." His eyes were wide open, filled with bright light. "Although it is weak, the master also gave me the prescription, but the master said that the most important thing for the saint is depression in his chest, and he was injured. It seems that he was injured five years ago. The master seems to know why he was injured, but he didn't tell me." After closing her mouth, Xia Zhen slumped on the chair, tilting her head to look at Bai Xiaochen. "However, judging by the appearance of the master, it should be a serious injury."

Taking a deep breath, he tried his best to calm down his restless heart. "But can it be cured?"

"Of course it can be cured, and you don't even look at who my master is!" Lifting her chin, Xia Zhen was as proud as a peacock with its feathers inserted. "The name of a genius doctor is a waste of fame!"

"...that's true." With a sigh of relief, the corners of Bai Xiaochen's lips raised a slight curve, but it disappeared instantly after taking a sip of tea.

As long as you are well, as long as you can be well.

Really, really don't ask for anything else.
