The group hurriedly came to the outside of Cao's courtyard. Ning Nan pushed the door in, and rushed to the inner bedroom from outside the screen, but saw that Cao Shi was leaning on the couch at the moment and waiting for the maid to feed the medicine, although his face was a little worse, but he didn't look bad.

Ning Nan's worries hung in his heart with a sigh of relief.

"Zhao'er is back?" Cao Shi saw him rushing into the room in a hurry, so he asked as usual, not caring where he came back from, and whether he was tired of traveling, and looked at him with a faint expression.

Ning Nanwu had long been accustomed to her mother's attitude, so she hummed softly.

"Why have you come to my house in such a hurry? But what did Bi Yun tell you? Cao lowered his head and drank the medicine fed by the servant, and asked casually.

Ning Nan took two steps forward, squatted at the head of Cao's bed, took the medicine bowl in the handmaid's hand, took the spoon and carefully filled a spoonful of black medicinal soup, and said while feeding it to Cao's mouth: "Aunt Biyun told her mother that she fainted, and the child was really relieved, so she came over to take a look." ”

Seeing that he was feeding the medicine himself, Cao's face did not fluctuate, and he even pushed away the spoon he sent to his mouth, regardless of whether the medicine was splashed on his body, turned his head, pulled the futon and lay down slowly.

Ning Nan froze there with the medicine bowl, his face was pale, he was stunned and maintained the posture of feeding the medicine, he was silent for a long time, and said bitterly in his heart: "Mother still drank the medicine, right?" ”

"The medicine is cold, let Biyun heat it up and drink it again..."Cao Shi turned sideways, leaned against the corner, and said coldly with his back to Ning Nan.

Ning Nan worriedly touched the still hot medicine bowl in his hand, lowered his black eyes, and said with the sorrow and loss in his heart: "If my mother wants to rest... And the boy withdrew. ”

He slowly stood up, handed the medicine bowl back to the maid who was waiting, and prepared to leave.

When he turned around and walked out, the Cao family suddenly said: "What is the relationship between you and Jun'er, my mother doesn't care, but Zhao'er, you must always remember clearly that the Jiang family is the wife you are marrying in a sedan chair and Ming Media." ”

Ning Nan froze his steps, his eyes darkened a little, and replied in a low voice: "Mother confessed... The child knows. ”

When he had finished answering, he lifted his feet and left the inner room, closed the door lightly, and stood under the porch and sighed. After calming for a moment, he turned around and was about to leave the South Courtyard, but he saw that Bi Yun was still looking at him nervously, as if there was something unspeakable.

Ning Nan looked puzzled and said, "Mother is awake, why is my aunt still fidgeting like this?" But what else hasn't been said? ”

Bi Yun nodded, and said helplessly: "In front of the mansion just now, the prince was too anxious, and rushed to the south courtyard in a hurry, in fact, the slave maid has other things to report to the prince." ”

Ning Nan said worriedly: "What makes my aunt look sad? ”

After the conflict between the female monarch and Mrs. Xiang, although the lady fainted with anger. But the two of them worked tirelessly to accompany their wife during the period when she was in a coma. As a result, the female monarch was infected with a wound on her back, and now she also faints. And Mrs. Xiang Xu was frightened by the war in the city a few days ago, and after staying awake all night, she also fell ill in bed now. ”

Bi Yun said the truth with a solemn expression.

Ning Nan's eyes froze, and she subconsciously asked Biyun, "How is the female monarch?" Is it a big deal? ”

Listening to his hurried inquiry, Bi Yun was also slightly stunned, she thought that the prince would care more about Mrs. Xiang, but she didn't expect that in the heart of the prince and the marquis, the Jiang family was more important.

Bi Yun slowed down and said, "The female monarch has woken up now... Qian Shan was waiting on the side, and the slave and maid sent five or six people to take turns to serve the sick, and there was no big problem at the moment. Mrs. Xiang's condition is even more serious... Sun Yiling said that she was frightened a few days ago, and she had a cold, and her body was already a little inappropriate, but now she has not slept for two nights despite her physical weakness, so she is sick and has not woken up yet. ”

Ning Nan's expression was a little dull, and when he heard the news that Li Xiangjun had not woken up yet, he not only did not have half a look of worry, but also a trace of irritability.

This made Bi Yun even more unable to see through what he was thinking: "Mrs. Xiang is so... Do you want to go and see it? ”

Ning Nan ignored her words, leaning on the red lacquer pillar under the corridor and was speechless.

Lu Xun on the side was already a little anxious when he heard the news of Li Xiangjun's illness, and when he saw that Ning Nan was worried and didn't speak, he thought that he didn't want to visit Mrs. Xiang, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "It's better for the lord to go and see..."

Ji Xianzhi, who was standing beside him, couldn't stop it, seeing that Ning Nan's worried expression was difficult to see, he hurriedly took two steps forward to block in front of Lu Xun, glared at him fiercely, and said: "The lord is tired, Mrs. Xiang has Sun Yiling and Biyun to take care of her, presumably nothing will happen, it is better to rest first and then visit." ”

Ning Nan looked at the gloomy sky worriedly, and answered Ji Xian's voice: "It's really tired, Chengzhong and Uncle Ji should also go back to rest first." ”

With that, he descended the steps of the corridor and strolled towards the study in the backyard.

Lu Xun wanted to chase after him and persuade him, but Ji Xianzhi grabbed him and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Lu Xun was very puzzled by Ji Xianzhi's obstruction: "Mr. Ji, you also know... Mrs. Xiang can't live here permanently, Nanyang and Xiapi have sent news, saying that it is to let Mrs. Xiang go back, the time is already tight, although this Mrs. Xiang is willing to believe the lord's words, but if the lord does not put into a sincere move, I am afraid that Mrs. Xiang will gradually be disappointed, at this moment is the moment when the two of them test and suspect each other, and the lord is still so willful. Now that Mrs. Xiang is sick, it is a good time for the lord to make these two people complain to each other and promote the relationship between the two to go further, why do you want to stop me and persuade the lord to go to Mrs. Xiang?

The subordinates don't understand, that Mrs. Xiang is gentle and virtuous, very good to the lord, a hundred times better than the Jiang girl, and the same lord is a person all the way, and it will be helpful to the lord in any big plan in the future, why can't the lord figure out these simple truths? If he could treat Mrs. Xiang like a woman from the Jiang family, then presumably this Nanyang princess would have been attached to the lord a long time ago..."

Listening to his unabashed words, Ji Xianzhi was faintly angry, and reprimanded with a serious face: "Lu Chengzhong, pay attention to your words." Mrs. Xiang was in a hurry to do so. Since the lord has made this decision, he will not give up halfway. I can understand that you are anxious, and I can understand that you hope that the lord can succeed, but if you want to persuade it, it depends on the timing. At present, Jiang Taigong refuses to hand over the blood book to the lord, and so many brothers have died in this battle... Mrs. Cao also blamed the lord for participating in the war, and she sulked with the lord for several days, and a bunch of miscellaneous matters in and out of the mansion had not yet been decided. The lord is running around all night, and he is busy everywhere, and he doesn't stop for a moment, and he doesn't even have time to rest for a while, how can he still have the heart to put on Mrs. Xiang? You're going to have to give your lord a breather? ”

This scolding made Lu Xun calm down, and patted his head with some annoyance: "It's because I'm too anxious, and I don't care about the lord's state of mind at the moment." ”

Ji Xianzhi shook his head helplessly. I don't understand why Lu Xun and Zhou Yuanmo are so optimistic about Li Xiangjun's daughter?

According to what he saw, this Mrs. Xiang is not a good stubble. If it is said that the Jiang family's female scheming city is quite deep, then this Xiang lady can also compare with her.

In the past half a month, Ning Nan's injuries have not healed, but he has been busy and tired. This Nanyang princess not only did not take into account the lord's injury, but also repeatedly relied on different people to complain to the lord. The reason is either frightened nightmares, or the wind and cold enter the body, and the pain is uncomfortable. At first, the lord went to visit, and she was willing to pretend to be sick to get the lord's attention.

But later, her body gradually improved, and she began to deliberately suffer from the cold and drag the illness to refuse, and asked people to spread a message to the lord, saying that she had a headache and brain fever, and when the lord went to see it, she was already acting, pretending to be delicate, and I felt pity. What made all the male maids feel very distressed, that is, even Zhou Yuanmo couldn't look past it, and persuaded Ning Nan to visit her again and again.

Although every time the lord went to her house, Mrs. Xiang was very considerate to make a decoction for him, and applied herbal juice to his wounds, and she was busy for a moment. But just tossing Ning Nan back and forth for her repeatedly, Ji Xianzhi didn't like her very much.

He didn't want to pay attention to Lu Xun anymore, glanced at Bi Yun standing in front of the house, sighed carefully, and then hurriedly went down the steps and chased in the direction where Ning Nan was leaving.

The backyard of the house.

Ning Nan stayed on the road between the north courtyard and the garden, looking at the two roads in front of him, his face showed hesitation, and he subconsciously wanted to go to Jiang Chengjia's side.

After thinking for a long time, he silently retracted his steps and prepared to walk towards the study.

"If the lord wants to see the Jiang family's daughter, let's go..."Just as he raised his feet and walked towards the stone road to the west, Ji Xianzhi's voice came from behind him.

Ning Nan's figure froze, and he turned around to look behind him. I saw Ji Xianzhi walking over with distressed eyes, standing not far from him and respectfully: "Lord... Sometimes you don't need to restrain yourself like that..."

He looked at Ji Xianzhi, his eyes were inexplicably red.

Ji Xianzhi looked at his slightly red eyes, and said in his heart: "If the lord has any thoughts or emotions, he can say it in front of the old slave... There is no need to suppress and conceal. ”

Ning Nan's voice was hoarse, and he clenched his teeth at the moment, and his eyes became more and more moist.

"If the lord wants to cry, cry out... I have dismissed the servants and maidservants in the garden, and no one will see them here. Ji Xianzhi said softly again.

Ning Nan held back the sourness in his eyes, pretending to be relaxed and curled the corners of his mouth and laughed: "Uncle Ji is really different from the gentleman next to him... I still remember that Lu Fuzi once said that men don't flick when they have tears... How did you get here... It became a casual cry? ”

Ji Xianzhi looked at his forbearance and couldn't bear it, so he walked over, slowly opened his arms to him and said softly: "If the lord is really uncomfortable, you can also get into the arms of the old slave and cry like a child, no one can stop you." ”
