The mothers-in-law carried Mrs. Li to lie on the bamboo couch in the flower hall, and Mama Sun pinched Mrs. Li hard, and Mrs. Zhou also came to her senses, tied her hands in a panic, and ordered people to ask for doctors and doctors.
When Li Xiaonuan got the letter and ran in, Mrs. Li had already woken up, called Li Xiaonuan to follow closely by her side, and ordered someone to carry her back to Mingyuan Hall.
Not long after, the imperial doctor was urged by the steward, and hurried to the ancient mansion, Gu Xiao accompanied the imperial doctor into the Mingyuan Hall, Mrs. Li hesitated, but the leader Sensen, panicked, and his eyes were blurred, and he couldn't even see people clearly, so he didn't dare to hold on, and stretched out his hand to let the imperial doctor diagnose the pulse.
Li Xiaonuan hid behind the screen, through the gap in the screen, looked intently at the imperial doctor who diagnosed the pulse, and listened intently to him and Gu Xiao talking to Gu Xiao about Mrs. Li's pulse condition.
“…… The old lady is in a hurry, and the blood will not return for a while, after all, she is an elderly person, how can she withstand such a big anger......"
Li Xiaonuan's heart jumped suddenly, she already knew about the marriage, marrying someone like Prime Minister Yan was a royal marriage, such a happy thing, the old lady was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted......
Li Xiaonuan bit her lip, turned around, and told the little girl to call Zhuye over, and commanded in a low voice:
"Take a purse, put a silver ticket of five hundred taels, bring it to me, if you want to ask for it quickly, just say that Mrs. is looking for it, let Gu Xiao come to see me"
Zhu Ye immediately bent his knees and agreed, turned around and went out, after a while, he took a purse and handed it to Li Xiaonuan, Gu Xiao also followed a little girl and turned in, seeing Li Xiaonuan, he hung his eyelids uncomfortably, and didn't dare to look at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan frowned, stared straight at him, reached out and handed the purse over, and said in a low voice:
"Go and tell the imperial doctor, the old ancestor of the elderly, after receiving such a will, was too happy, so he fainted and gave this to the imperial doctor."
Gu Xiao looked up at Li Xiaonuan in surprise and apprehension, blinked, and didn't react for a while, Li Xiaonuan sighed in his heart, shrugged his shoulders, frowned slightly, suppressed his impatience, and explained in a low voice:
"Receiving this marriage will and marrying Prime Minister Yan's family, such a happy thing, but the ancestor vomited blood in a hurry, if this is spread......"
Gu Xiao suddenly understood, hurriedly took the purse, nodded again and again, looked down at Li Xiaonuan, and was about to speak, but Li Xiaonuan snatched the talk.
"You hurry over, the matter of the old ancestor falling ill must not be publicized, you must be careful in everything, go quickly."
Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan, who looked as usual, breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his eyebrows, nodded hurriedly, pinched his purse, and turned to go out.
Gu Xiao sent the imperial doctor out, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly ordered someone to take the medicine in, Li Xiaonuan took the medicine, watched the bamboo leaves decoction the medicine with her own hands, and then entered the east chamber with Mrs. Zhou, Li Xiaonuan sat sideways on the edge of the couch, Mrs. Zhou took half a step back, and carefully sat on the armchair in front of the couch.
Mrs. Li was lying flat on the bed, her face was gloomy, and she had aged for ten years in a moment, Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li who seemed to be lifeless all of a sudden, and she was sad, and she didn't know how to comfort and relieve her for a while.
Mrs. Zhou sat nervously in the armchair, not knowing whether to speak or not to speak.
Old Madam Li slowly opened her eyes, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and commanded with a faint breath:
"Help me sit up."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly called Zhu Qing over, took two large soft cushions, carefully helped Mrs. Li up, and put the cushion behind her, Mrs. Zhou also hurriedly got up and stood in front of the couch with a slight bow.
Mrs. Li let out a long breath, as if she didn't see Mrs. Zhou standing in front of the couch carefully, only staring at Li Xiaonuan, raising her hand to caress Li Xiaonuan's cheek with some difficulty, sighing sadly, and before she could speak, tears had already fallen like beads.
Gu Xiao sent the imperial doctor out of the house, returned to Mingyuan Hall, hurriedly entered the east chamber, and saw Mrs. Li half-lying on the couch, and pounced with surprise in her eyes.
"Ancestor, are you better?"
Old Madam Li slowly turned her head, stared at Gu Xiao with a worried and surprised face, closed her eyes, sighed long, sadly, and moved her fingers weakly to command:
"I'm fine, just take two pairs of medicines and recuperate quietly for a while, you guys go down, since you have received the order, you can't neglect half a point about this engagement."
Old Madam Li turned her eyes to look at Mrs. Zhou, and then ordered:
"About the engagement, you should use more heart to open up, I am sick like this, and I don't have the mental energy, if you worry about this heart, there is still ......"
Old Madam Li turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, but she was instructing Mrs. Zhou,
"Let Xiao Nuan wait for me for a few days, don't let people go back and forth to her for big and small things in this house, you have to worry more about it for a while."
Mrs. Zhou lowered her hand and listened to Mrs. Li's instructions, turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, whose face was calm, as if nothing had happened, and said hesitantly:
"This engagement matter, as well as family affairs, add one, I'm afraid I won't be busy, so let Xiao Nuan help for a while, and wait for my daughter-in-law to enter the door......"
Old Madam Li picked the corners of her mouth, squinted her eyes slightly, looked at Mrs. Zhou with disdain, and said with a soft smile:
"Can't keep yourself busy with such an idea? In the future, if you become the old lady in charge of this house, won't you lose the charter even more? ”
Mrs. Zhou pursed her mouth tightly, her fingers trembled slightly, but she was stared at by Mrs. Li and didn't dare to raise her head, Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan like asking for help, Li Xiaonuan looked at her nose and sat upright, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Gu Xiao had no choice but to turn his head to look at Old Madam Li, worried, anxious, and panicked and was about to speak, Mrs. Zhou gently pulled him, bent his knees straight, and said in a low voice:
"What the mother taught me was that the daughter-in-law knew, the mother rested well, and the daughter-in-law retired."
Mrs. Li snorted coldly from her nose, and she agreed, Li Xiaonuan stood up, bent her knees respectfully, looked at Mrs. Zhou with a smile and said:
"Don't worry, madam, I'm here."
Mrs. Zhou nodded with a smile and retreated gently, Old Madam Li turned her head, stared at Gu Xiao for a long time, closed her eyes weakly, and her voice was almost inaudible.
"You go down too, go and help your mother Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, and in the future, you can worry about everything yourself."
Gu Xiao looked at Mrs. Li worriedly and blankly, and then turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan looked at him with a smile, and said in a low voice:
"About the engagement, you help Mrs. Zhang Luo Zhangluo, worry more, don't let Mrs. be too tired, the ancestor has me here, you can only rest assured."
Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan, nodded again and again, his heart was slightly settled, and he withdrew with a long sigh.
Mrs. Li was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and resting, Zhu Ye came in lightly with the medicine, Li Xiaonuan took it, and said softly:
"Ancestor, the medicine is ready, let's drink the medicine first."
Old Madam Li opened her eyes and lowered her eyes, Li Xiaonuan carefully waited for her to take medicine and rinse her mouth.
Old Madam Li leaned back, rested for a while, and then commanded in a low voice:
"From today onwards, you move to this courtyard and live with me."
Li Xiaonuan nodded hurriedly, Old Madam Li paused, closed her eyes slightly, and then said:
"I'm very dizzy at this time, let me sleep for a while, don't go far, wake up and let's talk to each other."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly nodded and agreed, waited for Mrs. Li to lie down, carefully folded the corners of the quilt, closed the curtains everywhere, and walked out of the east chamber lightly, and instructed Yu Buckle to lead people back to Yanshuxuan and move all his things to the east chamber of Mingyuan Hall.
Mrs. Li slept for most of the hour, woke up and drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, her breath was stable and soothed, she withdrew the girl who was waiting in the house, looked at Li Xiaonuan sadly, and before she could speak, tears dripped out again, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice:
"Ancestor and relax, when I heard the letter in the morning, I asked people to inquire, that Miss Yan is also a very sensible and reasonable person, and Prime Minister Yan is a person who only understands the emperor in his heart, and the reputation of his sons is good, this family affair is a rare good parent."
Old Madam Li looked at Li Xiaonuan with a wry smile and patted her hand gently,
"I'm not worried about that fool, I'm worried about you, this family business, from last night to this morning, is actually a ring after a ring, behind this, there is clearly a hand in the arrangement, but I'm afraid that it has been planned for a day or two."
Li Xiaonuan's heart went down the **** heavily, and Mrs. Li sighed and said in a low voice:
"I thought about it carefully, before and after, not to mention anything else, this will, if you can say it, please it, except for King Jing, who else can there be? In this matter, except for King Jing, I don't want anyone else to come. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked up at Mrs. Li, hesitated and did not speak, Mrs. Li wrinkled her brows, pondered and continued:
"If it is King Jing, he does this, there is always a picture, what is the picture? What can be drawn? For Xiao'er's good? Hmph"
Old Madam Li sneered lightly, turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and then said:
"Girl, I want to think about it, he is for your engagement, I shouldn't have told Xiao'er's mother"
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth with hatred,
"This idiot must have been told that she had reached the Runan Palace, and then to the ears of King Jing to have such a thing today."
Li Xiaonuan twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, looking at Mrs. Li worriedly and not speaking, Mrs. Li sighed heavily, leaned back on the pillow, looked over the silk tent, didn't know where to look, and after a while, she turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:
"This matter, the ancestor listens to you, King Jing is also attentive to you, and he is probably a little sincere, Princess Jing's scheming is not enough, and she will ...... in the future. You are not without opportunities, among a few princes, I am optimistic about him, at best, the position of a noble concubine is also stable. ”
