The thing that Su Wanhe regretted most in his life was taking over his master's job and escorting the noble Crown Prince.
She originally just wanted to collect some precious medicinal materials - purple sedge, aconite, and ambergris, just give them whatever you want.
As a result, His Highness the Crown Prince was so stubborn that he even refused to buy a carriage, causing her to walk on the mountain road for a long time.
She annoyed him. If you don't know the sufferings of the people, you can't even tell the difference between rice and leeks, so why should you be so high up and point the country?
He annoys her too. She is a philistine, greedy for money, and her head is full of medicinal herbs. There is nothing about her that looks like a serious girl.
But later——
When he was injured, she changed the medicine for him day and night. She was chased by an assassin, but he blocked her in front of her with his sword. She laughed at him for not being able to tell the difference between rice and leeks. He looked down at her, the tips of his ears turned red and he didn't speak for a long time.
She thought to herself: It's over. Is this person out of his mind?
The four of them - she, her senior brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the arrogant young lady from an aristocratic family - went from not liking each other to trying their best to protect each other. They walked on the mountain road for two months, survived the chase, and withstood the flood, and were about to have a bowl of hot soybean noodles in Yunzhou.
Then the sky fell. The late emperor died, a noble concubine usurped power, old cases were overturned, and someone stood on the opposite side. Her senior brother thrust his sword at him, and she stood in front of the prince.
When she fell down, she thought: It's over, Zizhi hasn't arrived yet.
But she was in too much pain to speak. She just smiled and said to him: "Don't forget what you promised me."
After that——
Xie Yunzhou guarded her tomb for the rest of his life and never drew his sword again.
Shen Qingyan traveled all over the country carrying a medicine box and became the best doctor in the world.
Xiao Jingheng became bald overnight, never married, and the world was united.
——He did do everything he promised her.
But he never gave her the medicinal materials he owed her in this life.
Intention: I always think that the future will be long, but I forget that things in the world are impermanent.
