After three or two days, Mu Qingyuan wanted to stay for two days to look refreshed, and then go to the Weiwei Yamen with Du Ruhui to see Erlang, so that he could carefully show him the shape of Wuwei and Jincheng counties, how do you know that Fang settled down, and he did not sleep well for several days, and had nightmares at night, dreaming of the long knife pierced on the throat for a while, and dreaming of the white bones stacked high at the foot of the Great Wall of Jilu Saihan. In the dream, the first moment was still majestic and tranquil, covered with snow-covered Qilian Mountains, and the next moment it became a bloody school yard of the school captain's mansion, and in the barking of vicious dogs, the frightened cry of a baby was faintly heard. Every time she screamed and sat up, she lay down in the center of Du Ruhui's arms, panting uncertainly, and her shirt was wet with cold sweat.

Almost every night, as soon as she closed her eyes, those horrific scenes flickered in front of her one by one like a marquee, until they came to her eyes. I woke up with a cry of surprise, and I couldn't sleep anymore. Therefore, at night, he only opened his eyes and lay on the couch, and did not dare to close his eyes and fall asleep. Wilting in the daytime, I can't be angry.

In the afternoon of this day, as the weather was getting hotter, she was lazy in the house, so she moved a round chair in the courtyard, and sat alone under the sun to read a book. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door, Ada hurriedly ran to open the door, and just opened a crack, he heard Yinghua shouting "Sister" crisply. Mu Qing heard that Yinghua was back, threw away the book, stood up with a smile, and summoned Ah Liu to the back kitchen to inform the cook to add a few dishes, all of which Yinghua liked every day. At the opening of the gate, it was Yinghua who was jumping and walking without a positive shape, and the two people who followed in, one was Du Ruhui, and the other was Li Shimin. Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and sat down in the hall of the main house. Behind him were two other men who accompanied him, and a man who looked like a healer carrying a doctor's note, and the three of them stood outside the door with their hands tied, not daring to enter the house.

After Ah Liu served the tea, Li Shimin looked at the doctor outside the house and said, "I see that Qi Niang's complexion is getting worse and worse than in the past few days. Although he is not as good as the imperial doctor in the Eastern Capital, he was also a famous doctor before he joined the army, and today he was specially invited to see Qi Niang. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the healer, and he went with Yinghua to talk in the courtyard outside.

The healer respectfully entered the room, sat down across the small tea table with Mu Qing, and probed to examine her carefully. After a long consultation, Fang said in a low voice: "This lady, but she just made Xiaoyue not long ago?" ”

Mu Qing nodded silently.

The doctor checked the pulse again, picked the words and said: "The lady's congenital endowment is insufficient in qi and blood. Su is young and strong and does not take care of maintenance, Xu is too strong and wits on weekdays, hard work, and suffered a fright and great change, adding sleeplessness, so that he can't lie down at night, and his heart is even more lost. ”

"The healer only said how to recuperate?" Du Ruhui asked with a frown.

The healer muttered for a moment. Embarrassed, he lifted his eyelids to Du Ruhui, and said: "Now I am still taking the decoction, but I can no longer think about it and don't care about everything." In autumn and winter, keep warm and replenish, just keep it carefully for two or three years, or there is still a little hope. ”

"How many threads?" Mu Qing and Du Ruhui asked in unison.

The healer's expression seemed to be frightened, and he lingered again and again. finally sighed deeply and said: "The lady is still young, carefully maintained, and it will take three years and two years." Heaven is pitiful, and there may be hope for another good omen. ”

These words were thunder, which shocked both of them, and they didn't know how to stay for a long time, the doctor packed up the consultation, got up to say goodbye, and Du Ruhui came back to his soul and got up to thank him. The healer said in a loud voice, "Don't work far away, don't work far away...... and left the main house quickly.

He looked back at Mu Qing again, still sitting on the wooden floor, then slowly walked to her side, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't think too much, I don't care about this, just that you are well." If you love children, my eldest brother has many heirs, and another day you see which concubine likes it, and it doesn't hurt to ask for it. ”

Mu Qing raised his head and pulled out a smile, "The doctor didn't say that it must be not, isn't there still hope, I will follow what he said, take care of it, and talk about it in two years." ”

For a while, the two of them stopped talking about it, and only sent Aliu to prescribe and get medicine with the healer. The healer is also a righteous person, because he heard a little about Mu Qing and Sister Yinghua, his heart contains admiration, he tried his best to diagnose and treat, before leaving, he was still not at ease, and then returned to the main house and said, "Rong Mou reinvented a few words, if the lady's body is all right, it is not in the decoction, but in yourself, don't work hard anymore." ”

Li Shimin saw that the diagnosis and treatment were completed, so he entered the house with Yinghua, and when he heard the doctor's words, he hesitated in his heart. Secretly thinking, this doctor doesn't teach her to work hard, but here is another important matter that she has to manage, in the end, whether to say it or not, a dilemma for a while.

His description taught Mu Qing to understand, and he couldn't help but straighten his whole face: "Erlang, if you have something, you might as well say it directly." ”

He was still hesitant and couldn't speak, but Mu Qing chuckled, "When Erlang twists like this, if there is a difficulty, he will listen to it directly, if he can help him, he should go all out, or if he can't do it for a while, it is also feasible to think of countermeasures together." ”

Li Shimin and her husband and wife have always been frank and straightforward, and since they heard her say this, they said all those words. "It's not a big deal, it's the coarse cloth I got a few days ago, I saw that the summer solstice was coming, and the cloth was there, but it had to be made into summer clothes, and now I don't know what to do with these coarse cloths."

Yinghua couldn't help but interject with a smile: "My sister is the most can't lift a needle and can't hold a thread, don't talk about making clothes, I'm afraid I can't even sew a piece of cloth and cloth, you actually asked her about the livelihood on this needle, it's really interesting." ”

Mu Qing glanced at Yinghua, "Erlang is so serious." He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to Li Shimin: "This is not a difficult thing, and there is no need to work Erlang to bother, let me think about it for a day or two, I will definitely be able to get a way to cook these coarse cloths." ”

Saying that, she glanced at the left and right and there were no outsiders and servants, and ordered Ah Liu to close the door of the house, and said with a solemn expression: "This trip to the northwest, although it is temporarily stable Captain Xue, it is indeed a fact that he raised troops privately. I look at the general Sima Li of the Eagle Yang Mansion who is taboo with Wuwei, and I estimate that his soldiers and horses are not strong at the moment, and he does not dare to act rashly. If he is holding the main road in the northwest, if he joins forces with General Li for a while, it will definitely be a great trouble, so it is still necessary to take precautions as early as possible, and do not neglect it. ”

"Li Chuze, does he dare?" Li Shimin asked intently.

"General Li is admittedly cowardly, but he is a wall-rider, and if he is not caught by the Turks and Xue Ju at the same time, I am afraid that he will have to ally with Xue Ju. And compared with Jincheng County, the terrain of Wuwei County is even more dangerous. As she spoke, she dipped her fingers in the tea and stroked on the case, "The east is Jincheng Pass, which can go straight to the hinterland of the Central Plains." The west is the only way out of the customs, and there is a way to retreat. With its back to the Qilian Mountains, and then the desert behind it, you can join hands with the Northern Turkic Khan. ”

Du Ruhui glanced at the terrain briefly drawn with tea on the case, and said in a deep voice: "This Li Zhize, with heavy troops in his hands, and occupies all the geographical advantages, if he has the heart, he can be called a little king in the west, and then he has some ambitions, and it is not impossible to wave his troops all the way to the Central Plains." At the moment, he and Xue Ju are restraining each other, and they can still be stable for a while, and when they do something in the future, the first thing is to kill him, and they can't stay. ”

Li Shimin hesitated and said: "What if Li Chu and Xue Ju are about to make a fuss? ”

Mu Qing shook his head: "Not for the time being." One is that the old Xianbei department is in the north, and the other is that the thunderbolt hall of General Changsun Yu Weishang is still shocking the northwest. If it weren't for these two reasons, Xue Ju would never have made an alliance with Erlang so lightly this time. Saying that, she paused, glanced at Yinghua on the side, and said ruthlessly: "These two reasons rely on the relationship between Erlang and the eldest grandson, so Erlang has to take care of it, don't treat her coldly." ”

Yinghua and Li Shimin in the room both lowered their heads and were silent, and after a breath or two, Li Shimin raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "I can save myself." (To be continued...)
