Chapter Sixty-Nine: Helping Wuhuan Fuel His Forces
Lu Mingting stayed in his room, sitting at the desk, he was still a little sullen, and the scene where Lu Mingshuang was praised by everyone just now was deeply engraved in his mind.
He was already a little conceited because of his serious illness, and he was even more unwilling because of this incident. Obviously, he should be the one who attracted a lot of attention, and he should have been the one who stood up and said I was here when everyone hesitated.
But because of his weak body, it is it that drags himself down!
Lu Mingting trembled a little angrily, he clenched his hands into fists, and trembled violently uncontrollably.
Thinking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Lu Mingshuang walked in with light steps.
Seeing Lu Mingshuang, Lu Mingting naturally couldn't show her what he had just shown.
He retracted his emotions, his eyes were gloomy and he didn't want to look directly at Lu Mingshuang, so he turned his head to look at the other side, and forced himself to say in a calm tone, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'll discuss something with you," Lu Mingshuang said, "He Hongxuan is back." ”
"He Hongxuan?" Lu Mingting was puzzled, "Didn't my father let her go back to Beijing, why did she run back without permission?" ”
Lu Mingshuang said: "Most of them were forced by their families, just a down-and-out aristocrat like her, and her father was almost their lifeline." She had been driven back for so long, and her father had not exchanged any letters with her, so his family was naturally worried that his father would not want her, so they drove her back. ”
Lu Mingting waved his hand to show that he was not interested in these children's family affairs, and he asked Lu Mingshuang: "Are you here to tell me this?" ”
"Of course not, He Hongxuan has brought a lot of information about the capital, and now the situation in the capital is tense, let me ask my brother your opinion."
Lu Mingting's heart was a little shaken, no matter how Lu Mingshuang could behave, she still came to find herself at this moment. She still thinks of herself as her brother!
Lu Mingting couldn't bear to recall that Lu Mingshuang was always sticking to himself when he was a child, and his heart suddenly softened. After all, it's still his sister, a family, how can they have any opinions about her?
After Lu Mingshuang briefly explained the situation in the capital to Lu Mingting, Lu Mingting's face also fell.
"This is really not good for us, the Queen Mother's power is expanding so quickly, it will only greatly suppress us."
Lu Mingshuang nodded and said, "So, I'm thinking about how to contain the Queen Mother, so that she doesn't have the next move so quickly." ”
"Now that the Queen Mother has been able to interfere in politics, it seems that there is no one in the capital who can match her, so ......"
The two of them looked up at the same time in an instant, and their eyes were very bright when they looked at each other, and they knew that everyone wanted to go together.
"Wu Huan!"
"Yes, that's right," Lu Mingting analyzed, "Wuhuan is a foreign race after all, and his strength is big enough to threaten the Queen Mother." If there is interference from foreign criminals, the queen mother will not dare to rush to let her family take the throne, so as not to fight with each other and the fisherman will benefit. ”
"That's right," Lu Mingshuang was very happy, it was naturally best to be able to find a solution, "It seems that we have to help Wuhuan boost his power now." ”
Lu Mingshuang didn't expect that he, who was eager to take revenge on Wu Huan, now still has a place to rely on his help, which is really a trick of fate.
But they also had to do it for the sake of the bigger picture.
The two then discussed it carefully, and seeing that the night was a little late, Lu Mingshuang also knew that he would no longer disturb Lu Mingting's rest, and went back.
The night is getting deeper, and the cold wind of winter is howling outside the window, as if to herald the panicked hearts of the people in Youzhou City.
Lu Mingting took off his coat and sat motionless on the bed, and only sighed silently after a long time, then extinguished the oil lamp next to the bed, lay on the bed and closed his eyes and prepared to go to bed.
Suddenly, a shock surged from his lungs, Lu Mingting suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, he covered his mouth with both hands, bent his back and began to cough violently, the itching of his throat made him almost unable to breathe,
"Ahem...... cough couldn't stop at all, one after another, Lu Mingting knew that his cough was done again.
In Lu Mingting's memory, he brought out this disease in his mother's womb, and he would not get sick as long as he took medicine on time every day in spring, summer and autumn, but after winter, the disease became more and more out of control.
The violent coughing sound was like a life-threatening sound, Lu Mingting's coughing throat was also dry, and his heart was followed by some angina. His limbs were numb, his whole body was convulsing, and he couldn't breathe.
Medicine! Lu Mingting stumbled and wanted to get out of bed, but because his legs couldn't use his strength, he fell to the ground all of a sudden.
The painful feeling tormented him, and it also drove him to continue to struggle forward. The emergency cough pill the doctor had given him was in the porcelain bottle on the cabinet, and he was only a few steps away.
Lu Mingting moved his arms and moved his body forward with the help of them, and he almost used all his strength to finally climb under the cabinet.
He tugged at the protruding part of the cabinet, trembling to support his body, and finally stood up, and he began to cough violently again. As he bent over, he grabbed the vase with one hand, and then fell to the ground in relief.
He opened the porcelain bottle with trembling hands, and the pills spilled all over the ground, and he shoved them into his mouth like a beggar who saw food, and then leaned against the wall and gasped for air.
After a while, the coughing sound gradually turned into a faint breathing sound, and Lu Mingting was as tired as a soldier who had just finished a difficult battle.
By the moonlight, he saw the wolves all over the ground, and a sad feeling welled up in his heart.
He violently began to hammer his chest, and scolded himself loudly as he hammered back, saying, "What use do I want from you for this useless body!" ”
He really hated, hated the injustice of God, gave him a brilliant and quick mind, but gave him this corrupt body.
Since he was a child, he has suffered a lot because of this weak body. Not to mention being sick, because his body is too weak, he can't practice martial arts.
Watching the little boys from other families playing the role of a general there, he could only squat in the corner of the wall with envy and jealousy. Even because he can't learn martial arts, he will be regarded as an outlier by other children.
"You see, he is obviously a man, but he can't practice martial arts, it's really funny."
"It's better to be a woman like my sister and sew and embroider every day hahaha."
He couldn't listen to these words anymore, and after listening to them too much, he gradually stopped caring.
Then, the impact was even greater, he applied to his father for an official position, and his father either changed the topic or arranged for civil officials, and he had quarreled with Lu Li more than once over this matter.
Even when he was on a blind date, the women of other families knew that he had a cough, and they all shook their heads and didn't want to, only those who were in the middle of the family and took a fancy to the Lu family's background could barely nod.
