20. Chapter 20
What is cocooning?
Ru Hui looked at the tea cup in the fourth elder brother's hand with an aggrieved face, why did she add something to that cup of tea with her hands cheaply, now it's okay, she put herself in, she is really stupid, why is she looking for trouble?
Seeing Ru Hui, who had nowhere to complain, standing in place and stupid, the fourth elder brother curled the corners of his lips in a good mood, picked up the book on the desk again and leaned back on the couch.
"Porphyry......
A particularly clear voice sounded in the tent, Ru Hui subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and directly met the sharp and commanding gaze of the fourth elder brother.
After being stunned for a moment, Ru Hui, who finally understood what had happened, burst out laughing.
The fourth elder brother, who gritted his teeth, raised his hand, pointed to Ru Hui, who was smiling without concealment, and wanted to speak, but, unfortunately, although he had a heart, his stomach refused to cooperate, and another earth-shattering abdominal roar continued to sound, and the fourth elder brother, who had originally been a picture of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing color, suddenly gave his face, and bounced up from the couch as if he had been stung by a bee, and the book thrown out in his hand had not yet landed, and the person had rushed into the screen placed in the corner of the tent......
Xun Dong and Su Peisheng listened sluggishly to the unconcealable noise behind the screen, and then saw Ru Hui, who was smiling with her shoulders twitching, staggering out of the tent, squatting outside the tent door and holding her stomach and twitching, when she saw it, she thought that her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't stand it, so she curled up in a ball.
Of course, the truth is not bad, Ru Hui did have a stomachache and couldn't help laughing.
There was only one thought left in the minds of the two: big trouble!
The trouble is indeed big, but it is neither Xun Dong nor Su Peisheng who is in trouble.
……
The grassland on a summer night is very cool, the cool is permeated with cold, Ru Hui, who is sitting on the grassland with a bitter face and feeding mosquitoes, looks up at the sky speechlessly, she really wants to tease the fourth elder brother, but she didn't expect that the result of playing tricks on the fourth elder brother will be so tragic.
"Obviously it should only have the effect of lower qi, why did it end up becoming detoxification?!"
Could it be that the drop of spiritual spring water that originally wanted to speed up the effect of qi was triggered?
Ru Hui waved away the mosquitoes that surrounded her again, and collapsed herself directly on the grass in frustration, covering her face and moaning in annoyance. Yin, it's so unlucky, obviously Ru's father, Ru Niang, and Brother Ru have all used Lingquan, obviously they are all fine, why did the fourth elder brother react so much?
……
The imperial doctor put down the fourth elder brother's hand, stroked his long beard under his chin, and his face showed a deep expression.
"Doctor Zhang, how's it going?"
The fourth elder brother sat on the couch, one hand on his stomach seemingly casually, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the dim sum placed on the side: he suddenly felt very hungry.
Fifty-year-old Imperial Physician Zhang's eyebrows and eyes are calm and his temperament is clear, and when he heard the fourth elder brother's inquiry, he put down his bearded hand and shook his head slightly: "The fourth master's body has not only cleared the evil fire in his body, but also the gratifying person is full of spirit and vitality. ”
Hearing Taiyi Zhang's words, the fourth elder brother looked like he had expected it, "Master feels a little hungry." ”
Imperial Physician Zhang nodded with a smile: "After a large amount of detoxification, you will inevitably be hungry, the fourth master can only eat with confidence, but it is now night, and you should also follow the way of health preservation, don't eat too much, so as not to accumulate food." ”
Carefully observing the face of the fourth elder brother, Imperial Physician Zhang finally suppressed his curiosity, no matter what elixir the fourth elder brother took changed his physical condition in a short period of time, it was not for him to inquire, if the emperor asked, he would naturally tell the truth, if he didn't ask, he would just pretend to be dumb.
……
When Ru Hui was found by Xundong, most of the princes and nobles who accompanied her had already returned to their tents, and in addition to the guards on duty in the camp, only the servants who served were busy outside the tent, or cleaning the things they had used during the day, or preparing the things they would use tomorrow for their respective masters.
Ru Hui was aggrieved and rubbed into the tent of the fourth elder brother, as soon as she entered the big tent, the soaking coolness was blocked, Ru Hui exhaled softly, subconsciously stroked her arm, and stayed outside the tent for less than half an hour, she really missed this tent.
The fourth elder brother, who had finished eating a plate of dim sum, was leaning on the couch to eat, and when he heard the sound, he didn't raise his head and asked Ru Hui: "What did you add to your grandfather's tea?"
Ru Hui's breath stagnated, and the thoughts in her mind spun quickly: "What the master said, Ru Hui can't understand." ”
The fourth elder brother raised his hand and turned a page of the book in his hand, his eyes did not leave the page, but he could already think of Ru Hui's frightened appearance now.
"You used the life-saving things your father left for you to play tricks on you, huh?"
Ru Hui opened her mouth stupidly, not knowing how to answer for a while.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for Ru Hui to speak, the fourth elder brother finally put down the book in his hand and looked up at the little girl who was shrinking in the corner of the tent: "Now I know that I am afraid? ”
Standing up from the low couch, walking in front of Ru Hui, looking at the head that was pulling, the fourth elder brother gritted his teeth, he couldn't hold back, he reached out and pressed the fluffy head and rubbed it hard.
Ru Hui, who was completely dazed by the kneading and swaying, looked up at him stupidly after the fourth elder brother finally stopped, "Fourth master?"
Ru Hui, who has unkempt hair, looks very delicate, but looking at the specially painted thick eyebrows on the little girl's face and the brown spots that were smeared to cover her complexion, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but look disgusted: "Take a good face, look at what you have become, don't hurry up and wash it." ”
When it came to her makeup, Ru Hui woke up and was unhappy: "I don't know who pushed me out of the top tank, so I had to go out to socialize with people, if I stayed in the tent all the time, I didn't need to wear this ugly makeup at all." ”
The fourth elder brother, who was not politely glanced at by Ru Hui, coughed in disguise, and turned around and walked to the low couch where he was sitting before: "It's night, wash and sleep." ”
Serving the master who said that it was night, Ru Hui, who had freshened up, blew out the candlestick in her hand, retracted into the felt carpet and closed her eyes.
In the space, Ru Hui found an old wooden box left for her by Ru's father before leaving in the cave, fiddling with it, opened the hidden mechanism of the wooden box, revealing the letter hidden in the mezzanine and a black pill, took out the pills that the fourth elder brother handed over to her before going to bed from her arms and put them into the wooden box, looking at the two identical black pills, Ru Hui held her chin a little dazed.
Before Dad Ru left, he said that he couldn't use the pill in the box, let alone open the letter, and she didn't touch the box obediently, but now the fourth elder brother gave her an identical pill......
Was the medicine in the fourth elder brother's hand given to him by Daddy Ru? Or was this medicine given to Daddy Ru by the fourth elder brother?
Looking at the letter in the box, Ru Hui had a little itchy hands - she wanted to open it.
Ru Hui's hand raised-
"Hui'er, father and your mother took your brother to Chengdu Mansion, leaving you alone in Beijing, you have to think twice before acting, don't be willful, the fourth master is the prince, not the big brother in the village, you pretended not to know his identity in the past two years, and there is no dignity when facing him, your father and I indulge you, one is that you are young, and the other is because the fourth master does not let your father and I restrain you, but now my father is not by your side, in case something happens, there is no one to speak for you, you should also grow up...... You're ten years old, and you're a big girl, Dad knows, you know what you should know, on weekdays, you and the fourth master may also laugh and laugh, but you have never crossed the line, Dad believes that you can always be so clear after entering the Baylor Mansion, but, the people of the Gaomen Mansion are treacherous, not to mention that the fourth master is a royal child, and he is afraid of everything, Dad gave you this wooden box, which is prepared for this eventuality, you remember, until the time of life and death, you can't open it......"
Ru's father gave him an earnest advice, and the words were especially in his ears, and the hand raised by Ru Hui suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds.
With a sigh, Ru Hui finally raised her hand to reset the dark compartment of the wooden box again, then closed the lid and put it into the cave again.
It doesn't matter what secrets he has, it's impossible to let her go back to her previous life anyway, so it doesn't make a difference between knowing and not knowing.
……
In the whole June of Kangxi's forty years, Ru Hui basically spent time in a tent, Xun Dong asked her to go out for a walk several times, Ru Hui, who was afraid that her face would cause trouble, vetoed her mention with interest, and there was a broader world in her space, and she didn't covet the land outside that had been conquered by humans at all.
On weekdays, the fourth elder brother came back to the account, Ru Hui followed the teaching of Mama Qin, and became a competent girl, as soon as the fourth elder brother left, she was respected in the tent, and she did whatever she wanted, that is, sometimes she took a good rice paper painting doll on the bookcase in the corner of the account of the fourth elder brother to play, and this master came back and saw it, but he just punished her to write a few more big characters, and then disgusted the words she wrote, but the other punishments were the same, so Ru Hui became more and more unwilling to go out of the account.
In July, the royal driver set off again, following the mountains towards the edge of the Inner Mongolia Plateau - the Great Khing'an Mountains.
Endless mountains, endless forests, here is the Great Khingan Mountains, with the most lush site vegetation, the widest primeval forest, here is the home of the Evenki people.
On the rich steppe, the leader of the Evenks led his people, riding horses, and carrying flocks of sheep, and greeted them from afar.
When I saw the location of the royal car from a distance, it was especially nearly ten miles, but this group of Evenks who came to meet them all tightened the reins slightly and let go. The galloping horses slowed down, and some of them directly tightened the reins, stopped the horses that were running excitedly, shook their whips, and shouted to stop the running sheep, they had to wait here until they were summoned by the rulers of the Qing Empire, and they would not go to Yin.
The emperor stood outside the camp, surrounded by well-dressed guards, and behind him were a group of princes, relatives and close ministers, as well as many Mongolian princes, looking at the Evenks who were rushing from afar.
The leader of the Evenks reined in his horse from a distance, jumped off his horse, and ran towards the camp with great but no loss of manners, and before he could get close, he fell to his knees with shouts,
"Seleut took the whole Evenki people with him to welcome the arrival of the holy king. ”
