Chapter 883: Mountain Rain is Coming
For three days in a row, Qiu Ming and Gu Wenan drank and reminisced, and played against each other. The Seven Princes were not mentioned again, nor did they mention the purpose of Qiu Ming's trip.
Three days later, Li Ping conveyed Qiu Ming's meaning to Zhou Tiankai and ordered all the Northern Qi troops to evacuate, and Qiu Ming should bear all the consequences. In the future, the emperor or the queen mother will blame it, and Zhou Tianqi will go to explain the reason to the emperor and the queen mother.
Although Zhou Tiankai was unwilling, he couldn't help Baifeng Village, and without the cooperation of the Yulin Army, the Northern Qi army couldn't even enter Baifeng Valley. What's more, it has been snowing heavily for several days, and the soldiers who stayed outside Baifeng Valley are almost unable to hold on.
Since Qiu Ming came by the emperor's order and was willing to carry this black cauldron, Zhou Tiankai also happened to take advantage of the situation, ordered the troops to retreat, and handed over the responsibility of rescuing the Seventh Prince to Qiu Ming, the Lord of the Qincha.
Li Ping was also ordered by Zhou Tianqi to take 3,000 Yulin troops into the city with Fu Mingye to help settle the people in the northern county town.
Although supplies and food have been sent to the city, the heavy snow for several days has destroyed most of the houses of the people in northern Xinjiang. Today, the people in the county towns of northern Xinjiang are still in dire straits.
When the news reached the capital, Zhou Changan and Lu Qishan were also worried, but their mother and son had different thoughts.
While Zhou Changan was worried about Zhou Tianqi's safety, he doubted whether it was right or wrong for him to let Qiu Ming go to Northern Xinjiang to deal with this matter? It was not until the Northern Qi army withdrew and Qiu Ming sent back the news that he was relieved.
And Lu Qishan learned the news of Zhou Tiankai's withdrawal from the army, but he lost his temper in Shouxi Palace, and announced Zhou Tiankai's biological mother Shufei Niangniang to Shouxi Palace for a long time. Then, he ordered Boss Qian to send a secret guard to go to Northern Xinjiang overnight to inquire about the news.
There are only two days left before the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and the daughters in the capital are all hiding in the house to prepare for their birthday gifts to the Queen Mother.
The Great Prince's Mansion and Lin Xiang's Mansion, which have always been very lively, also suddenly quieted down, but some well-intentioned people secretly smelled the smell of mountain rain coming and wind full of buildings.
In the evening, Lin Wan was half-leaning on the bed, wrapped in the quilt, her eyes closed, her brows frowning slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Wang Qi and Jin Ruoxin walked in from outside the door together, Wang Qi was holding a medicine bowl in his hand, and his eyes were full of worry.
Jin Ruoxin saw Lin Wan's sick look, and couldn't help but sigh distressedly, walked to Lin Wan's bed and sat down, held her cold little hand, and persuaded: "Wan'er, don't worry about the Seventh Prince anymore." The Seventh Prince's martial arts are strong, and with Mr. Qiu and Yulin Jun here, he will be fine. It's you, it's only been a few days, and this body seems to have collapsed suddenly. When the Seventh Prince comes back, how distressed it should be to see you like this!"
Lin Wan took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, shook her head, and said, "Sister, I understand what you said, but I just can't let go of it in my heart, I can't do anything, and I can't do anything." ”
Jin Ruoxin frowned, and said worriedly: "The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, how can you attend it like this?"
Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "It just so happens that I don't want to participate either, if I can excuse myself not to go, it would be great." ”
Jin Ruoxin smiled helplessly and said, "Where will the Queen Mother let you go?" I have already sent someone to see you today, but I stopped her. But the palace maid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, saying that she is going back to the Queen Mother, and tomorrow she will ask a royal doctor to take your pulse. ”
Lin Wan smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Come on, come on, I'm sick of my body, are you still afraid that he will diagnose something?"
Jin Ruoxin glanced at Lin Wan with disgust, and said unhappily: "How can there be such a thing as you?
Wang Qi also said angrily: "Miss, if you don't cherish yourself so much, I will go back to report to my wife, master and uncle, and let them know that you are so unbehaved, and I will definitely let you go back to Tianzhuju immediately!"
Lin Wan sighed lightly, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, took the medicine bowl in Wang Qi's hand, and without saying a word, drank the medicine in one go, wiped the medicine juice off his lips, and handed the medicine bowl back to Wang Qi, and said angrily: "Where am I not well-behaved? I drink medicine every day without discount, and I don't even ask for candied fruit these days." ”
Wang Qi was speechless for a while, turned around and put the medicine bowl on the table, walked to Lin Wan's side, held her wrist, and checked her pulse.
After a while, Wang Qi withdrew his hand, sighed softly, and said, "Miss, your body is nothing, but your heart disease is getting worse and worse." As the saying goes, heart disease still needs heart medicine, no matter how good my medicine is, it can't cure your heart disease!"
Lin Wan also nodded helplessly, and said: "I also know what you said, but I can't help it, I just can't be happy, I always feel as if a cold wind is blowing in, empty and cold." ”
Wang Qi was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he said worriedly: "Miss, as soon as the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is over, we have to hurry back to Tianzhuju." It's getting colder and colder, and I'm afraid the cold poison in your body will also attack together. ”
Lin Wan nodded slightly and said, "Well, I also feel that I have become more and more afraid of the cold recently, and I also want to go to Tianzhuju to see my mother soon." However, no matter what, we can't leave the capital until after Zhou Tianhong and Lan Ziyue's wedding. Moreover, the Queen Mother will not let me go so easily, I don't know what moths will come out tomorrow!"
Jin Ruoxin sighed lightly, patted Lin Wan's hand, and said softly: "Okay, don't think about it so much, rest early." There are so many of us helping you, and the Queen Mother doesn't dare to mess around. After Zhou Tianhong's wedding, we will leave here immediately. ”
Lin Wan nodded obediently, and said coquettishly: "It's good to have my sister here!"
Jin Ruoxin shook his head helplessly, and smiled dotingly: "You, you just have a sweet mouth!" Xiaoqi said that you want to rest more, I won't talk to you, you lie down and sleep obediently." With that, he stood up, took the big pillow behind Lin Wan, and helped her pull the quilt.
Lin Wan obediently got into the quilt, lay down sideways, closed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a happy smile, but her brows were still frowning slightly.
There were calming herbs in the decoction, and Lin Wan let out an even breathing sound after a while.
When Lin Wan fell asleep and helped her turn off the lights, Jin Ruoxin and Wang Qi walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
Walking into the courtyard, Jin Ruoxin turned to look at Wang Qi, lowered his voice, and asked, "Xiaoqi, tell me the truth, what happened to Wan'er's illness?"
Wang Qi hesitated a little, slowly raised his head, looked at Jin Ruoxin sadly, and muttered in a low voice: "Princess Qinxin, I'm afraid Miss's illness is really bad." ”
Jin Ruoxin couldn't help but shake his body, and asked in a trembling voice, "How, how can this be?"
Wang Qi sighed lightly and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ximen is right, the cold poison in Miss's body has always been there. ”
