Chapter 494: A Letter
As the so-called no coincidence does not make a book, Li Xiu just learned from Sun Simiao that the woman who liked Xuanzang was already terminally ill, but he didn't expect the little maid Fuqin next to this woman to come again, and according to Yuechan, Fuqin behaved abnormally after coming this time, crying and refusing to leave, and had to see Li Xiu, which made Li Xiu also a little surprised, so he had to come to the side hall next to him in person, but as soon as he came in, he saw Fuqin sitting there wiping tears. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"What's the matter, could it be that you have been wronged at home?" Li Xiu sat down next to Fuqin with a smile at this time and said, Fuqin ran to him all day long, and the two of them were also familiar with each other, so they spoke a little casually, especially after knowing that the little lady behind Fuqin was terminally ill, Li Xiu also better understood the reason why Fuqin often ran to him.
What Li Xiu didn't expect was that after Fuqin saw him, he knelt in front of him all of a sudden, and said with a pleading face: "Donkey, the slave knows that you have great medical skills and can even cure smallpox, so the slave wants to beg you to help my lady!" ”
"Hurry up, what do you have to say, what's wrong with your lady?" Seeing this, Li Xiu hurriedly helped Fuqin up and said, but he was also a little helpless in his heart, even Sun Simiao was helpless with the other party's illness, let alone a half-person.
Fuqin didn't know that Li Xiu already knew about her lady's condition, and immediately told her mother about her terminally ill illness, and finally cried: "My lady vomited blood again this morning, and she was very thin, and there was not even a little blood on her face, Mrs. was crying in distress, and the master sighed while letting people prepare the future affairs of the lady, and the slave heard that the concubine was proficient in medical skills, so please save my lady's life!" ”
"Fuqin, has your lady asked Daochang Sun to see a doctor before?" Li Xiu said helplessly again at this time.
"Well, my lord had heard of Sun Daochang's medical skills, so he invited him to go, but I didn't expect him to be a friend of Master Xuanzang, I had seen him before, but he couldn't cure his mother's illness." Fuqin wiped her tears and nodded.
"I'll tell you the truth, Daochang Sun actually lives in my mansion, his medical skills are far above mine, and even he can't cure the disease, let alone me!" Li Xiu explained with a wry smile at this time, no one knows his weight better than him.
Hearing Li Xiu's answer, Fuqin's little face suddenly turned extremely white, Li Xiu was already her last hope, but she didn't expect that the other party couldn't help her at all, which made her feel a sense of despair at a young age.
Looking at Fuqin's pale little face, Li Xiu didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh silently. After a long while, I saw Fuqin raise her head, and said again with a pleading face: "I believe that the concubine will not lie to me, it seems that my lady's illness is really incurable, but can the concubine tell me some news about Master Xuanzang, so that the lady can be happier." ”
"You...... Does your lady really like Xuanzang? Li Xiu didn't know what was wrong at this time, and he actually asked such a sentence, if it was placed in normal times, it actually seemed a little rude, after all, it was indeed too reckless to ask about the feelings of a girl in the pavilion, but now that the girl's life is on the line, these are actually not very important.
Hearing Li Xiu's question, Fuqin obviously hesitated, and finally said with tears in her eyes: "Yes, my lady grew up in the boudoir until a few years ago but found out that she was terminally ill, and at that time I saw all the famous doctors in Chang'an City, but there was no improvement, so the lord and Mrs. let the lady go to the nunnery to lead the practice, hoping that the Buddha could be merciful and cure my lady's illness, but I didn't expect the disease to be cured, but I met Master Xuanzang." ”
When I said this, I saw Fuqin crying even more, but in the end, she endured her grief and sobbed a few times and continued: "My lady knows that she is terminally ill and has never thought about any marriage, but she didn't expect to fall in love with Master Xuanzang at first sight, but my lady and Master Xuanzang are both people who know etiquette, although they have had a few contacts in private, but there has never been any transgression, this slave knows better than anyone else!" ”
When Fuqin said the end, he seemed to be afraid that Li Xiu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained. In fact, even if she doesn't say it, Li Xiu also believes in Xuanzang, after all, a high monk and a terminally ill girl, there can be nothing between the two at all, at most it is the kind of "platonic love" in later generations.
"Actually, Xuanzang is probably also tempted by your lady, but he has already made a great wish to go to Tianzhu to retrieve the true scriptures, so he can't accept your lady, and finally even fled in embarrassment, because he knows that if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make up his mind to leave!" Li Xiu sighed at this time.
"My lady also knows Master Xuanzang's ambition, and it is precisely because of this that she is reluctant to tell Master Xuanzang about her illness, in fact, with the situation of my lady, I am afraid it will not be a few years, but my lady is unwilling to delay Master Xuanzang, and has been deliberately hiding him, until that day he suddenly said goodbye to my lady, and then left Chang'an!" Fuqin said again with tears in her eyes.
She regrets it now, if she could quietly tell Xuanzang about her mother's illness, maybe the other party would stay with her mother, even if it is only a few years, and even criticized, but it is far stronger than her own lady suffering from these torments.
Li Xiu was also silent for a long time when he heard this, although he really wanted to help this woman he didn't know, even if it was to give her a little news about Xuanzang, but now that Xuanzang was thousands of miles away, he didn't receive any news about Xuanzang at all, so he couldn't even help her fulfill this little wish.
"Donkey, my lady coughs up blood every day these days, and even vomited a mouthful of blood this morning, even the lord has given up hope, my lady is ready for the future, but even so, the lady is still holding the letter written by Master Xuanzang before to look at it stupidly, every time she receives news from Master Xuanzang before, she will be happy like a child, and even her complexion will be much better, so the slave begs you, even if it is to lie to my lady!" Fuqin begged Li Xiu again at this time, it seemed that she also knew that her lady's time was short, and even in order to make her happy, she didn't even care about lies.
"Okay, you wait for me first, I'll write a letter to your lady, I'm sure she'll be very happy after reading it!" After Li Xiu pondered for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said to Fuqin.
"You...... You write to my wife? Fuqin couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard Li Xiu's words and said, if it was Xuanzang's letter, his own lady would definitely be very happy, but Li Xiu and his own lady didn't know each other, how could the letter he wrote make his own lady happy?
"Don't worry, as long as you bring my letter back, your lady will definitely be happy like a child!" Li Xiu saw Fuqin's suspicious gaze, and couldn't help patting his chest and reassuring at the moment.
After finishing speaking, Li Xiu asked Yuechan to take the pen and ink, and then personally wrote a letter to the woman he had never met, although his writing was very ugly, but out of respect for the woman, he still insisted on writing the letter by himself, and then took the letter and sealed it, which was handed over to Fuqin's hands.
"Fuqin, after seeing your lady, you don't need to say anything else, just send this letter to her!" Li Xiu smiled at this time and said, Fuqin is also a loving and righteous woman, even if her master is seriously ill, she still takes it away for her master, such a woman is indeed admirable.
"Slave and maid understand, thank you colt!" Fuqin also nodded heavily when she heard this, and then carefully put the letter on her chest, and then saluted again, said goodbye to Li Xiu and left, but this time Li Xiu personally sent her out of the door.
Seeing Fuqin's carriage disappear at the end of the road, Li Xiu sighed and turned around to go back to the house, but when he thought of it, he was a little irritable in his heart, and he couldn't sit or stand, and finally simply returned to the inner house to accompany the child.
"What's on your husband's mind?" However, as soon as Li Xiu returned to the inner house, Princess Pingyang, who was watching the child, immediately stepped forward and asked, husband and wife are one, and Li Xiu naturally can't hide anything from her.
"Well, this ......" Li Xiu nodded first, but he was a little hesitant whether to tell Princess Pingyang about Xuanzang, but this matter was really uncomfortable in his heart, so in the end he simply vomited, anyway, with Princess Pingyang's temperament, he would not tell anyone about it.
Princess Pingyang listened to Li Xiu quietly, and only then did she sigh and say, "I see, no wonder the maid of the Wang family often ran to our house during this time." ”
In the end, Princess Pingyang didn't say any more, Fuqin often came to the house, so she naturally couldn't hide it from her and Yi Niang, Yi Niang's suspicions were heavier, and she even thought that Li Xiu had someone outside, so she sent someone to investigate, but she didn't expect it to be because of this incident.
"The Wang family? Which royal family? Li Xiu couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, he had been keeping his original promise, and he had not investigated the origin of Fuqin and her lady, even when he talked to Sun Simiao before, he didn't ask too much, so he didn't know the identity of the other party until now, but now it seems that it doesn't matter whether this promise is kept or not.
"I didn't expect my husband to know the origin of the other party, but speaking of this Wang family, I still have some kinship, that terminally ill woman is still my junior, if my husband agrees, I can visit her on your behalf!" When Princess Pingyang said the end, she couldn't help but sigh again and said, she really wanted to see this infatuated woman.
