"Slow down, slow down." Qiu Tang helped Xu's mother, who was barely on the ground, and was practicing walking. After drinking chicken soup for a few days, Xu's mother obviously turned a lot ruddy, and she could even barely go to the ground, but this kind of landing was just to put her whole body weight on Qiu Tang, leaning on the side of the bed and moving one or two steps, but it was such a step or two, Qiu Tang was already ecstatic.

Although Xu's mother was hit so hard before that she couldn't afford to be sick, Qiu Tang's unwavering care for her made her feel that she must get better, get better, and see what kind of person Qiu Tang is. It was with this belief that Mother Xu stood up little by little, and even moved two steps.

Seeing that Xu's mother was really hard, Qiu Tang helped Xu's mother to sit down on the edge of the bed: "Madame, rest." After helping Xu's mother to sit firmly, he turned around and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xu's mother's lips, the warm tea flowed down her throat, and a fine bead of sweat appeared on the tip of Xu's nose and forehead.

"Madame lie down and rest for a while, let's drink the medicine." Qiu Tang said, lifted Xu's mother's legs onto the bed, moved the quilt to cover it, and saw that Xu's mother was not uncomfortable, so she turned around and went to the kitchen. The fire in the kitchen decoction stove gently licked the medicine jar, the dark brown soup in the medicine jar was bubbling, Qiu Tang extinguished the fire, cushioned it with a thick cheesecloth, and held the medicine jar down. Qiu Tang carefully poured the medicinal soup into the bowl, smelling the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance, Qiu Tang's heart was full of hope, perhaps, after drinking the medicine, Mother Xu will be completely better tomorrow.

The medicine was too hot to drink for a while, so Qiu Tang put the medicine jar aside and prepared to cook. Lifting the rice jar in the corner, Qiu Tang's heart chuckled, and the rice was about to run out again. There is not much money in his hand, and Qiu Tang doesn't dare to buy all of them to make food, so he only buys a little bit every time, and this grain is poured into the tank just to spread the bottom of the tank. Qiu Tang thought about it, or scooped all the rice into the pot, buy it, it's not bad for a day or two, Mother Xu's body has been slowly recovering in the past two days, let's boil the porridge thicker today, which will help her recover her strength.

About half a burnt incense, the steaming chicken porridge is boiled, Qiu Tang chopped the chicken left over from the chicken soup into meat foam, and boiled it into a pot of porridge with rice, according to Qiu Tang, so that the hunger is not wasted. At this time, the medicine also became warm, and Qiu Tang took out the soup and porridge together.

"Who is serving in front of the Queen Mother today?" Mu Jianyu asked after lunch. After the Queen Mother went to the coma that day, Mu Jianyu never visited his mother again.

"I heard that it's Concubine Xiao Guifei." You Dexing brought tea for gargling.

"She's really filial. Why didn't she go to see her children? Even if there is a gap in Mu Jianyu's heart, he can't stop thinking about his son. What's more, half of the estrangement between himself and Xiao Guifei came from Zhang Rou, and half came from Mu Lingyi's request to allow Xiao Guifei to be his adoptive mother. If you don't mention it sooner or later, you have to wait for Mu Lingyi to crown the prince. This made Mu Jianyu feel very uncomfortable, and he faintly felt that he had been calculated. As the ruler of a country, this feeling made him feel ashamed.

"The Twelfth Prince heard that he was well taken care of by the nurse, and Concubine Xiao Guifei was very relieved of the nurse."

"Let's go, go with me, and go see the Twelve Princes." Mu Jianyu got up and straightened the dragon robe on his body, and strode out, "By the way, is King Qi back?" ”

"King Qi will be here early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, you go to the city gate tomorrow and wait, as soon as King Qi arrives, let him come and see me quickly."

"Yes."

"Niangniang, I heard that King Qi will return to the Holy City tomorrow." An Jieyu's personal maid Zhipei sent An Jieyu an afternoon red date lotus seed soup.

"What is Hong'er doing when you come back at this time?" An Jieyu stopped the rosary in her hand and took the soup.

"I heard that the Holy Lord's edict ordered him to return to the city to report on his work."

"What do you do? Every year, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. An Jieyu drank the soup in one gulp and handed the bowl to Zhipei.

"This slave doesn't know."

"Tomorrow morning, the saint will definitely summon him to interrogate as soon as possible, you will quietly leave the palace now, while the city gate is not locked yet, you rush outside the city, and you must hand this over to him before Hong'er enters the city." For the rest, don't say a word, and after handing over the belongings to him, don't go back to the city with him, and come back when it's about to be locked. An Jieyu said, got up and took out a jade pendant carved with bees and spiders from the dowry box, and handed it to Zhipei.

"The slave understands." Zhipei took the jade pendant in his arms and left in a hurry. An Jieyu is a little transparent who is not taken seriously, and no one pays attention to the entry and exit of the palace maids around her. It is precisely knowing this that An Jieyu will arrange it like this.

"Mulberry Grove, how far are we?" Mu Linghong looked at the orange sunset on the horizon, turned over and dismounted, and summoned Shi Sanglin.

"Back to Your Highness, if you are in a hurry, you can enter the city tonight." Shi Sanglin looked at the map he was carrying.

"No, we'll find an inn outside the city and stay there, and we'll go into the city early tomorrow morning." Mu Linghong rejected Shi Sanglin's suggestion to process overnight.

"It's fine. There's an inn in front of you, so why don't we settle down there? "Although Shi Sanglin doesn't know Mu Linghong's thoughts, there has always been a relationship between him and Mu Linghong, if you don't take the initiative to say it, then I won't ask more.

"Okay, lead the way." Mu Linghong turned over and got on his horse and ordered Shi Sanglin to lead the way.

The inn is not big, but for Mu Linghong and his party, it is enough, Mu Linghong did not identify himself, but just checked in as a passing wealthy businessman, and after settling down, Mu Linghong found Shi Sanglin: "Take off your clothes to me." ”

......Although this request was sudden, Shi Sanglin still complied.

Mu Linghong changed into Shi Sanglin's clothes and put on a black night walking cloak: "Sanglin, when I went out, I said to the outside world that I was tired and had rested." ”

"Yes."

Mu Linghong put on his cloak and sneaked out of the inn towards the city gate. The inn is not too far from the city gate, and after a short time, you will be under the city gate. Mu Linghong turned over and dismounted, and kept looking around.

"Your Highness." The slight sound was hidden in the cry of the autumn insects, it was not so loud, but Mu Linghong still caught the source of the sound for the first time, he left the horse in place, and tiptoed in the direction of the sound alone.

"Sister Zhipei." Seeing that it was his mother's personal maid, Mu Linghong felt a lot more relieved. Zhipei is a maid brought into the palace by his mother from his mother's house, and he has always been loyal.

"Your Highness, take it." Zhipei didn't say much, he directly stuffed the jade pendant into Mu Linghong's hand, and when he saw Mu Linghong kicking it into his arms, Zhipei escaped into the shadows again and disappeared.

Mu Linghong looked around to see that there was no one else, and then walked to his horse with peace of mind, and returned to the inn under the cover of night.

Back at the inn, Mu Linghong closed the door lightly, and then in the moonlight, he saw clearly the jade pendant handed to him by Zhipei, on which a bee and a spider were carved. This kind of carving is rare, Mu Linghong strokes the jade pendant, and guesses what his mother wants to convey.

After a night without words, the sky was bright, and Shi Sanglin knocked on Mu Linghong's door: "Young master, it's time to go." ”

Mu Linghong opened the door, maybe he slept better last night, Mu Linghong's whole person seemed calm and relaxed, and the calmness was reassuring: "Let's go." ”

"Plop!" Qiu Tang was boiling medicine in the kitchen, and suddenly there was a strange sound in his ears, Qiu Tang put down the pu fan and rushed out of the kitchen, pushed open the door, and saw Xu's mother on the ground at a glance, Qiu Tang hurriedly touched his neck, confirmed that there was still a pulse beating, and only calmed down a little, but he was single and weak, and he couldn't hold Xu's mother who had fainted, Qiu Tang had to sit on the ground with the help of the power of the wall, and turned Xu's mother over and held her in her arms. Xu's mother's nosebleed wiped Qiu Tang's body. Qiu Tang struggled to push Xu's mother to the ground and lay down, got up and poured a glass of water, dipped it in water with a silk handkerchief, and scrubbed Xu's mother's face, maybe the water was cold, Xu's mother slowly opened her eyes, and stared at Qiu Tang for a long time with a pair of not very flexible eyes, and her dry lips opened one by one: "I'm sorry." Hearing Xu's mother's words, Qiu Tang was stunned, she never thought that Xu's mother would apologize to herself, she never thought that she and Xu's mother would have such a situation now, Qiu Tang continued to help Xu's mother wipe her face, she couldn't tell what it tasted like, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to live like this.

Finally stopped Xu's mother's nosebleed, Qiu Tang hurriedly returned to the kitchen, but it was too late, not only did the medicine dry up, but the medicine jar also exploded. Qiu Tang sat on the ground, looking at the thick white smoke in the kitchen, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom. Tears ran down her cheeks and into her mouth, bitter and astringent. Qiu Tang hugged his arms and wept silently. She thought about it a lot, if she wasn't Chen Kaiyun's daughter, she wouldn't have been forced to leave the Holy City, if she hadn't wanted to live, she wouldn't have ended up in the field where she is today, if, there was no if. Qiu Tang wiped away the tears on her cheeks, she looked in the direction of the palace, her eyes were full of murderous energy, there are not so many ifs, she must go back, she must find the enemy who framed her whole family, she wants to take back everything that should belong to her.

Qiu Tang stood up, moved the small stove for boiling medicine to the courtyard, found a medicine jar again, took the medicine package again, and re-lit the fire. Everything can be started again.

"You're awake." Meng Ling'er pushed open Bai Ruoning's door and saw Bai Ruoning drinking medicine under the service of the little girl.

"Mom." As soon as Bai Ruoning woke up, he heard how Meng Ling'er did her best to heal herself, although there was an exaggeration, but after all, she was a life-saving benefactor, Bai Ruoning wanted to get out of bed and salute to thank Meng Ling'er.

"Don't get up, lie down. Your wound is not completely healed, don't make a big move, beware of the wound bursting. Meng Ling'er stepped forward and pressed Bai Ruoning, who wanted to get up.

"Thank you, Mom." Bai Ruoning burst into tears. At the beginning, she was sold to Fengqi Pavilion by her brother and sister-in-law, because she was older, she didn't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, so she could only be a fourth-class girl who didn't enter the stream, but Meng Ling'er was a hundred times better to her than her brother and sister-in-law.

"Thank you, take care of it, and talk about it when you get better." Meng Ling'er comforted, "Okay, when I see you wake up, I'll be relieved, so I don't have to meet guests these days." After Meng Ling'er finished speaking, she explained a few words to the little girl she served, and left.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the miscellaneous family has been ordered by the Holy Lord, and I am here to welcome His Royal Highness back to the palace!" As soon as Mu Linghong entered the city gate, he greeted You Dexing.
