Chapter Thirty-Six: Ma Mingfeng Xiao
Su Fang's throat healed and regained her verbose character, and she shouted at my bedside before dawn this morning: "Oh no, Miss, there is a messenger Pegasus in the middle of today to report that the fifth prince was poisoned by the crown princess." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This time the big more chaotic will be. ”
I didn't bother to open my eyes, and asked her chirpingly: "I'm from the rivers and lakes, you're talking about the imperial court, and how many taels of silver do you have with us?" ”
Su Fang felt the same, patted me gently, and I fell asleep comfortably again.
But when I woke up, I realized that the situation was no longer right, and the atmosphere at Wenda Villa became tense. Master Ye and Mrs. Ye gathered us and the servants together and explained the current situation: the lord of Zhongdu is old and mediocre, and the princes of the Quartet are ready to move, but they did not expect that at this time, the crown princess poisoned the five princes.
I sighed in my heart, this crown princess must have a discordant relationship with her husband, or she was sent by a neighboring country and trained to pit her husband.
The original prince was sent to the six counties of Kaihe in the northeast, and the fifth prince died. The key point is that the eight cities in the southeast are all the territories of the six princes. Now I have received news that the second prince wants to cooperate with the third prince to divide the eight cities in the southeast, and the second prince is the most brutal of the princes. In other words, Pingcheng may really be flat.
After hearing this, I realized that the prosperity of the country is the responsibility of the husband. It's an awakening, and others can't be avoided by staying in an ivory tower. The Pingcheng guards were originally cronies of the five princes, but after learning the news, they ran away overnight, and they didn't even want a concubine, which shows how hasty they escaped.
Master Ye chose to dismiss his family at this time, and he took the warriors of Wenda Villa to guard the southeast area, he is a real hero. Anyway, I have nowhere to go, so I choose to advance and retreat with the Ye family. If the city is broken, there will be no retreat to the southeast. Even my small grass house may be transformed into a small latrine for the second prince.
Master Ye and his wife told Ye Keting to go to the mountain city to move the rescuers, and asked Ye Zhiqiu to go to the Sangong Mansion to inform the Gao family to help, but silently left because he needed to inform the family to prepare. I couldn't find anything to do, so I collected a lot of herbs and dried them with Su Fang to fill the yard. If there is a dispute together, Master Ye is a big hero in front of the enemy, and I am the little hero behind the scenes.
Few of the servants of the Ye family left, and they all went with the army to help within the Ping City Wall, and Su Fang and I and Mr. Ye and his wife guarded the house. Master Ye went to the city every day to inspect, and Mrs. Ye dressed herself up every day without hurrying, trimming flowers and plants, and occasionally boiling plum soup for the guards at the wall, and she was still very exquisite.
I asked my wife if she wasn't worried about the war. Madame smiled faintly at me, my father-in-law is here, my home is here, my life and death are here, there is nothing to fear. After that, he took me to pick plums.
Mrs. Ye told me that women should still live in style even in the midst of suffering and confusion, which is an attitude about self and has nothing to do with life. I shook her head and thanked her for her teachings.
Communicate with thoughtful people often, and a word can be used for life.
As the days passed, I would deliver soup to the soldiers at the wall almost every day. Standing at the top of the outer wall of Heicheng, looking at the rows of houses in the distance and the noisy street market in the past, I feel that everyone who provokes a war should be a shit shell in the next life, and what must be done every day is to get out.
On the seventh day, Ye Keting returned. It's just that the one who came back was not so handsome, he was carried back, and one of the eldest brothers who carried him fell to the ground instantly when he reached the outer wall and never got up again, while the other eldest brother and Ye Keting were covered in blood and were already dying.
Carrying them to the city tower, the doctor on the city tower rushed to give one of them a piece of ginseng to hang the breath, and the doctor in the city was coming. When we immediately lifted their clothes, the wounds were still oozing blood. I kept telling myself that it was important to save people, and the doctor next to me was anxious: "This young lady, if you are afraid, you will hand it over to the old man, you close your eyes, and the sewing is wrong." ”
I hurriedly apologized, at this time Mrs. Ye came over, calmly pressed the wound and asked me to sew it up, I watched her hold back tears, her hands trembled uncontrollably, my heart was firm, and the strength of my hand was a little too large, and a needle went down to wake Ye Keting up.
His lips were pale, but he still looked at me and Mrs. Ye with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the child is fine." Beginning... I want to tell you—" Before he could finish speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted again. He was dizzy, and Mrs. Ye almost couldn't stand it, and she fell to me in a daze. I stretched out my hand and trembled to probe his snort, but fortunately, his internal strength was mellow, and he was so badly injured that his internal breath was not messy. But big brother, you need to know that it is a lot of trouble to talk halfway, and if you want me to guess, then you can only think of you saying where your little coffers have been hidden for many years.
Barely stitching up the wound, we carried the two of them into a small house in the woods beneath the city walls. Mrs. Ye explained that Ye Keting's location could not be known by others, and their route to the backer city was leaked, which caused such a catastrophe. Now we must be more careful, otherwise we are afraid that our lives will be lost.
Mrs. Wenchan left me in the small mansion, took the doctor to the city wall, and found two soldiers to pretend to be injured to raise me. I didn't even dare to go to the toilet, as long as their breathing weakened, I had to feed them soup and herbs in time. I had to change their dressing every hour. At noon, Ye Keting began to have a fever, so I had to remove his clothes and wipe him with a towel dipped in cold water.
This continued until the evening, and when I poured ginseng soup into Ye Keting, I also drank two sips and hung it. But Ye Keting is still feverish. I cooled him down and told him, you see how well and calmly the eldest brother next to him is lying.
After saying that, I felt a chill in my heart, and tiptoed to try his snort, but it was okay, but it was very weak, and there was still it, I fed the medicine to my eldest brother and changed the medicine. Slowly, the eldest brother's face also improved, and Ye Keting's heat also decreased little by little.
When the time came, Mrs. Ye brought food. When she entered the door, I was lying between Ye Keting and the guard brother, and I didn't want to move again.
After eating some steamed buns, Mrs. Ye took care of the two of them, and I walked into the forest alone, looking up, I could faintly see soldiers patrolling back and forth. The moonlight was beautiful, and I don't know how many people in Pingcheng had no sleep tonight, some of them had moved to find distant relatives, but some women and children wanted to advance and retreat with their families stationed on the castle tower. And that peace is about to be broken. I hate war.
Mrs. Wenchan couldn't stay long, so I continued to guard the two of them after I saw her off. The long night was slow, but I couldn't sleep peacefully, sitting between the two of them I staggered, and accidentally pressed the wound of the eldest brother next to him, because the eldest brother was very weak, so he "hummed" and fainted again. If he was well, he would have jumped up and beaten me.
I couldn't do this to the wounded, so I got up slowly, tied my right hand with a rope, and fixed the other end of the rope to the wall, letting the rope drag me around. Between my half-dreams and half-awakenings, I only felt that I was slowly falling, and I woke up in an instant, only to see Ye Keting help me untie the rope and wanted me to lie down. In a dim way, I saw that the dawn had arrived.
I looked at him in surprise and touched his forehead to find that he no longer had a fever. I breathed a sigh of relief and finally put my mind at ease.
He struggled to raise his hand, and I brought the night pot from under the bed. He smiled helplessly and said to me in a weak voice: "Xin'er, thank you for your hard work." ”
For some reason, I felt like crying when I heard him speak. Life is too fragile, overnight, between life and death.
I smiled and gently scratched his wound, changed the medicine, and put on his clothes to give him a little more rest. Said to him, if you escape from death, you will have great luck, and when you are ready, take me to the gambling house, I have never been there.
His face was still pale, and he nodded with difficulty, and his voice was inaudible: "Wherever you want to go, I will follow." ”
