Chapter 160: Foolish as a Child, the Emperor Comes in Person (6,000 Words Chapter)
(Cat pounce Chinese The night at the top of the mountain is much colder than in the city.
The autumn nights are getting cooler, and the top of the mountain is a thousand-year-old cold pool, so the temperature is much lower than elsewhere.
They lit a bonfire, and did not set up tents, but they all rested in the open air.
Wei Jiuxiao sat on a stone with a golden knife, facing the pool of water and was silent for a long time.
"Lord Wang, it's time to rest." Ming Ruyan came over to persuade.
Not to mention the hard work along the way, Wei Jiuxiao didn't sleep a single sleep when he was holding a funeral for General Cai in the city.
At this time, it was past midnight, and their prince was still sitting here with his eyes open, and even those guards felt that the prince was a little mad when they saw it.
Ming Ruyan came over and persuaded Wei Jiuxiao a few times, but he was indifferent.
He didn't rest, and the others didn't dare to rest without permission, and they all stared at the sky.
Seeing this, Ming Ruyan had to arrange for everyone to take turns to rest.
They want to protect the safety of the prince, and it's not okay to stay up like this and get tired all of them.
Wei Jiuxiao sat there until it was dark, he suddenly took out something from his arms, got up and strode to the edge of the pool.
Ming Ruyan didn't dare to rest, and when she saw Wei Jiuxiao get up, she hurriedly followed.
Wei Jiuxiao opened his hand, and the fire cloud bead lay in his palm.
"Lord Wang, you are" The sky in the east is getting brighter and brighter, and the pond water reflects the morning light, and the scenery is magnificent.
However, no one is enjoying the beauty at the moment.
The resting guards all woke up, and they were amazed to see the King of Darkness stripped of his dark coat by the edge of the pool.
"Lord Wang!" Ming Ruyan watched Wei Jiuxiao throw off his coat and go into the water.
"No one is allowed to come with you." Wei Jiuxiao said coldly, not to mention his subordinates.
The water in the thousand-year-old cold pool is extremely cold, and ordinary people will lose consciousness after falling into the water for a while, but Wei Jiuxiao is holding the fire cloud bead in his hand, so he will be fine.
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" Ming Ruyan was anxious, "If you want Miss Yu to come up, we can think of other ways." ”
"What's the solution?" Wei Jiuxiao's eyes were slightly cold, "Catch her?" Fishing with a net? ”
Ming Ruyan and the others looked at each other.
In fact, what everyone wants to say is that Miss Yu was caught by someone ordered by the prince!
But at this time, looking at Wei Jiuxiao's face, no one dared to answer anymore.
"She is the woman of this king, not a fish." Wei Jiuxiao jumped into the water without hesitation, leaving Ming Ruyan and the others staring at each other on the shore.
The morning light at the top of the mountain was getting brighter and brighter, and Wei Jiuxiao dived into the water.
The water was extremely deep, and Wei Jiuxiao was only halfway through the first dive, so he didn't have enough breath, so he floated up to change his breath and dived again.
This time, he had just swam a short distance when he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing up from the bottom of the water.
Wei Jiuxiao stabilized his body in the water, only to see a red carp with a small fang, rushing straight towards him.
Inexplicably, Wei Jiuxiao's body tightened somewhere.
However, he didn't dodge, just pushed his left hand of the blackiron armor back slightly to avoid the fish.
For some reason, the spell on his left hand would be broken as soon as it touched her when she was a fish.
The fish's white little teeth bit on his right arm, and the blood spread along the clear water, Wei Jiuxiao didn't move, looking at the red carp that bit him.
Stupid fish, don't you remember this king?
Sharp fish teeth dug into his flesh, but he didn't feel the slightest pain.
Because his heart hurts even more.
Suddenly, the fish's teeth loosened, and it seemed bewildered by the huge food in front of it, and it stared at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.
Wei Jiuxiao stayed in the water for too long, and felt like her lungs were about to explode.
But he had no intention of surfacing for a breath.
He slowly revealed the fire cloud bead in his hand and cautiously approached the red carp.
Maybe it was because he was moving very slowly, and the fish didn't run away in a panic, it opened its mouth and watched as Huoyunzhu got closer and closer to her.
Wei Jiuxiao's fingertips suddenly exerted force, and the fire cloud bead was directly flicked into the fish's mouth by him.
The fish seemed to be stuck, and opened its mouth to spit out the fire cloud beads, but after several unsuccessful attempts, it could only swing its gills vigorously and swallow the contents of its mouth.
Wei Jiuxiao felt extremely cold.
Losing the Fire Cloud Bead, the water in the cold pool quickly took the temperature away from his body.
Wei Jiuxiao struggled to exhale the last air in his lungs.
He was still a long way from the water, but his body had begun to stiffen, and even his blood seemed to be frozen into ice.
The fish that swallowed the fire cloud bead suddenly writhed and turned into a human form before his eyes.
Fish fry
Wei Jiuxiao used her last strength to reach out and touch her face.
his fire cloud beads, go to his ghostly possession.
He had never felt so happy as he did now.
His stupid fish had finally turned back, even if she didn't remember him
At the moment when he was about to lose consciousness, he saw Yu Miaomiao swimming towards him and hugging his waist.
On the shore, Ming Ruyan and the others waited anxiously, no matter how anxious they were, they had no way to dive into the water.
"Look there!" One of the guards shouted.
The water splashed, and Yu Miaomiao surfaced with Wei Jiuxiao.
"Lord Wang!"
"Lord Wang, are you okay?"
Wei Jiuxiao was pulled ashore by everyone and fell to the ground violently**.
Everything seems to have gone back to the beginning.
The first time he brought someone here, the first time he met a stupid fish, the first time he was bitten by a fish, and the first time he was rescued by a fish
Ming Ruyan quickly took off her clothes and draped them on Miao Miao's body.
Wei Jiuxiao's whole body stiffened by the cold pool, but he never let go of the hand holding Yu Miaomiao.
"Miss Yu, are you okay?" Ming Ruyan asked.
Yu Miaomiao sat stunned, unresponsive to his question.
"Miss Yu?" Ming Ruyan called again.
Yu Miaomiao raised her head and grinned at him.
Ming Ruyan couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
"Miss Yu, do you still recognize me?" Ming Ruyan asked.
Yu Miaomiao stared at him seriously with a raised face, and after a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Just when Ming Ruyan thought she recognized him, she pointed to the bag of dry food hanging from his waist.
"Ahh She reached for the bag.
Ming Ruyan glanced at Wei Jiuxiao nervously.
Wei Jiuxiao hadn't recovered her breath at this time, and she fell there with a blue face, and she didn't know if she had fainted.
Ming Ruyan opened the bag, and Yu Miaomiao directly put her hand in it and grabbed a piece of dry food, even if it was stuffed in her mouth.
"Miss Yu, if you eat slowly, you will choke." As soon as Ming Ruyan finished speaking, she saw Yu Miao Miao rolling her eyes when she was choked.
"You eat slowly, drink water first." Ming Ruyan grabbed the water bag and poured it into her mouth.
When Wei Jiuxiao woke up, Ming Ruyan had already helped Yu Miaomiao change into clean clothes, although it was men's clothes, but now she could only make do with it first.
The clothes on Wei Jiuxiao's body were also changed by Ming Ruyan, but because he kept holding Yu Miaomiao's hand, Ming Ruyan had to cut the wet clothes on his body with a knife.
The first thing Wei Jiuxiao did after opening her eyes was to go to find Yu Miaomiao.
"Miss Yu is resting over there." Ming Ruyan said solemnly, "There is an incident, I think it is best to let the prince know now." ”
"What's the matter?" Wei Jiuxiao felt faintly uneasy.
In fact, he was vaguely aware of it in the water just now.
"Miss Yu, I'm afraid she won't remember us anymore." Ming Ruyan said in a low voice, "And I'm afraid it's a little bad mentally."
When Wei Jiuxiao and the others returned to the imperial city, it was already more than ten days later.
General Cai's coffin is still parked in the General's Mansion.
When everyone in the mansion heard that King Youyou had found the eldest lady back, they all ran out to greet him.
Wei Jiuxiao hugged Miao Miao from the horse, and Yu Miao Miao stood there quietly, looking up at the gate of the General's Mansion curiously.
"It's home." Wei Jiuxiao said in a low voice.
Yu Miaomiao seemed to understand, and turned her face to smile at him, "Home? ”
The people who followed behind couldn't help but have red eyes.
If the old general is here, he should be very happy to see the young lady come back.
Everyone entered the mansion, and Ming Ruyan quickly took the white filial piety clothes, and everyone changed into them.
Wei Jiuxiao picked up Yu Miaomiao's one and reached out to wrap her shoulder, "You also changed your clothes, and this king will take you to see your father-in-law." ”
Yu Miaomiao was at his mercy.
The people in the house soon found out.
"Miss, what's the matter?"
"Miss doesn't seem to recognize anyone"
"Not only does she not recognize people, but she looks like she is stupid"
Wei Jiuxiao walked out of the door with Yu Miaomiao, who had changed into a white filial piety dress, and his eyes darkened when he heard these discussions.
He's finally brought the stupid fish back.
But it seemed that only her body came back, but her brain was empty, and not only did she not know anyone, but she became like a child.
Ignoring everyone's discussions, Wei Jiuxiao took Yu Miaomiao to the mourning hall.
Ming Ruyan handed over the futon, and Wei Jiuxiao personally placed it at Yu Miaomiao's feet.
"Get on your knees." He pressed her shoulders and told her to kneel.
Yu Miaomiao didn't know why, although she knelt down, she looked up curiously at the white silk hanging on the mourning hall.
"General." Wei Jiuxiao also knelt down close to her, "This king brought her back." ”
Yu Miaomiao stared blankly at the coffins.
The cries of the soldiers were faintly heard outside the door, which was very depressing.
Yu Miaomiao stood up suddenly, and stretched out her hand as if to reach the white silk covering the old general's coffin.
Wei Jiuxiao grabbed her arm.
"Father-in-law" Yu Miaomiao was pulled by him and couldn't step forward, so he spit out two words in a hurry.
"What did you say?" Wei Jiuxiao pulled her back to her side in disbelief.
"Father-in-law." Yu Miaomiao repeated it again, she stretched out her hand and pointed to General Cai's coffin.
Ming Ruyan was also shocked by Yu Miaomiao's performance, "What Miss Yu said is"
"What is the girl, called the princess." Wei Jiuxiao admonished.
Everyone outside the door heard Yu Miaomiao's "father-in-law" just now, and Wei Jiuxiao warned Ming Ruyan to change his name.
Hearing this, there was nothing else that the people did not understand.
No matter what Yu Miaomiao becomes, she is the righteous daughter of General Cai, the princess of King You.
"Lord Wang." Soldiers kneeling on the ground outside the mourning hall.
"Lord Wang, the general is gone, please let us follow the Lord in the future."
"We want to protect the eldest lady for the old general, and the person that the old general wants to protect until he dies, we will protect him, even if it is for a lifetime"
Wei Jiuxiao didn't pay attention to the soldiers outside the door, he pulled Yu Miaomiao to kneel down again, lowered his eyes and tidied up the filial piety clothes on her body. "Prostrate to your father."
He put one hand on Miao Miao's shoulder, and pressed down with his palm.
Yu Miaomiao was forced to kowtow to General Cai three times.
When she straightened up, Wei Jiuxiao felt something slip from Yu Miaomiao's cheeks to the ground.
"Lord Wang!" Ming Ruyan snorted.
Wei Jiuxiao turned Miao Miao's face and found that her eyes were wide open, and there was a layer of mist in her eyes.
"Fry?" Wei Jiuxiao looked at her, her deep eyes were full of complex emotions, some surprised, and some secretly happy.
She actually cried.
In her heart, she must still remember them.
Yu Miaomiao blinked, as if she didn't understand why she was crying, but the more she blinked, the more tears she had.
Wei Jiuxiao's jaw tightened, and her rough fingers brushed her cheeks, "Don't worry, you have a lot of time, you can think about it slowly." ”
If it doesn't work in one year, it will be two years, and if it doesn't work in two years, it will be five years, and he believes that she will remember him one day.
At this moment, a small servant hurriedly came in from outside the door, "Lord, someone is coming to the palace, the emperor asked the old general where he wants to be buried, and he has to go out of the palace to mourn in person."
As soon as the words fell, everyone outside the door looked at each other.
It is already a great honor for officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China to come to mourn, and now even the emperor has to come in person.
Wei Jiuxiao only sneered when she heard this: "I'm afraid that someone said bad things about this king in front of the emperor, these people are really staring at it enough." ”
Wei Jiuxiao hadn't come back since he sent Gu Yue and them out of the city, so someone must have noticed it a long time ago.
"Are there any people from the Prime Minister's Mansion who come to offer condolences?" Wei Jiuxiao suddenly changed the topic and asked.
Everyone shook their heads, "No." ”
Ming Ruyan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm afraid this matter is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion again." ”
Wei Jiuxiao helped Yu Miaomiao to stand up, "Settle the people in the palace first, and this king will come when he goes." ”
After speaking, he took Yu Miaomiao to leave the mourning hall first and went to the back house.
"You are waiting for this king here, and no one will take you except this king." Wei Jiuxiao lowered her eyes and looked at the well-behaved and somewhat unreal Yu Miaomiao, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
Once upon a time, he wanted her to be honest and disciplined.
But now, seeing her ignorant like a child, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
This is not what she is.
He would rather let her turn back into the trouble-breaking spirit Yu Miaomiao, who gave him a headache, than to see her confused and uneasy because she couldn't see him for a while.
After placing Yu Miaomiao, Wei Jiuxiao rushed to the living room to meet the palace people.
That night, Wei Jiuxiao recruited several henchmen around General Cai before his death.
"The king is going to take the general's coffin back to the mountain and bury it there."
These people have been with the general for many years, and they know the general's mind best.
The reason why the old general returned to the imperial city was entirely because of Yu Miaomiao, and now that others are gone, everyone doesn't want to stay in the imperial city.
"Lord Wang, please allow us to stay with the eldest lady." The soldiers were all straightforward, and if Wei Jiuxiao didn't nod, they felt uneasy.
"We want to protect Miss for the general, please leave us behind."
Wei Jiuxiao's gaze swept over them, "Why did the old general die, you all know that this king is afraid of your resentment." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt down.
"Lord Wang, you underestimate us too much."
The first soldier blushed excitedly, "We are not people who do not distinguish between right and wrong, the general is kind to us, we have nothing to repay, the general is gone, we want to avenge him, but we also know that this matter is not something that we can achieve, we only ask the prince that you can accept us, and the young lady will be our master in the future, as long as the prince you live up to the young lady, we will go to the soup and fight the fire!" ”
It was almost time for Wei Jiuxiao to finish arranging the affairs in the house.
The back house was silent.
The maids and women who kept vigil all let Ming Ruyan change to the guards in the mansion, as well as the soldiers of the General's Mansion, so when Wei Jiuxiao came to the back house, he didn't disturb anyone.
Pushing open the door, Wei Jiuxiao didn't go in immediately, but said in a low voice, "It's this king." ”
Jing Yijing appeared out of the darkness in a flutter, holding a rune paper in each hand, if Wei Jiuxiao opened the door directly just now, this rune paper would be pasted on his body.
Seeing that it was the King of Youyou who came in, Jing Yijing retracted into the dark corner.
"You don't need to serve here, go down and sleep." Wei Jiuxiao dropped a sentence, pushed open the door of the inner room, and entered the house.
Jing Yijing was about to leave, when he suddenly heard the anxious voice of the King of Youyou from the house: "Quickly get water!" ”
Jing Yijing hurriedly carried the teapot into the door.
I saw Wei Jiuxiao holding something with her sleeve, and she almost collided with her in a panic.
"Don't want tea, bring a basin!" Wei Jiuxiao said hurriedly.
Jing Yijing found that Wei Jiuxiao was holding a red carp with her sleeve.
The carp didn't know when it left the water, its whole body was dry, its mouth moved slightly, and it was weak.
Jing Yijing went to fetch a copper basin and poured water into it.
Wei Jiuxiao put the carp into the pot.
The fish waited a long time in the pot to recover.
Wei Jiuxiao searched under the bed for a long time before finding the bead on Yu Miaomiao's neck.
"In the future, when this king is away, you have to keep an eye on some princesses, and don't let her take off this bead."
Jing Yijing nodded.
In fact, she didn't know when Yu Miaomiao picked the beads.
Yu Miaomiao said that she wanted to sleep, so she withdrew.
Who knew that Yu Miaomiao not only took off her clothes when she slept, but also picked the beads on her body, if Wei Jiuxiao didn't come tonight, when it was dawn, Yu Miaomiao would probably really become dried fish.
The tossed sky was almost dawn, and Yu Miaomiao still stayed in the basin and did not transform into a human form.
Wei Jiuxiao's eyes were red, but he didn't dare to sleep.
He was afraid that after he slept, she would turn into a human again, and she would run around without even clothes.
waited until it was almost dawn, and suddenly there was a whirring sound in the basin, followed by a woman's exclamation: "Oops, it hurts." ”
Wei Jiuxiao got up only to see Yu Miao Miao turn back into a human form, but the basin was stuck on her buttocks.
He first put the bead back on her neck, "This one is not allowed to be taken off in the future, do you hear it." ”
Yu Miaomiao looked at him stunned, "Why?" ”
"If you take it off, you won't have anything to eat."
"Oh"
I answered happily.
Wei Jiuxiao wanted to help her get dressed, but she refused, and drilled into the quilt by herself.
Wei Jiuxiao is not a restless Yanagi Hui, and she was teased by her after a while.
But this is in the General's Mansion, and the old general's coffin has not been mourned yet, and he can't do that kind of thing no matter what, so no matter how uncomfortable it is, he has to endure it.
There are various theories in the imperial city about the death of the old general Cai, but the only thing that has not been exaggerated by them in the rumors is the reason why the old general left the city: to save his righteous daughter.
There are even some people who blame the old general's death on Miao Miao's body behind his back.
Fortunately, Miao Miao is now in a daze, even if the people in the house quote her, she can't understand what they are saying.
Wei Jiuxiao secretly sent people to investigate the case, although he couldn't catch the evidence, but he was completely able to guess who the real murderer was.
Except for the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one can make such a large-scale evil magic circle.
But the Prime Minister's Mansion is not ordinary people, the Prime Minister's daughter is the queen, and the crown prince is his grandson, how could the emperor move their foundation because of some rumors.
Before the emperor came to the General's Mansion in person, Wei Jiuxiao specially looked for Mei Ruhua and asked him to come and see Yu Miaomiao's situation.
The thin old man twisted his beard, "Strange, strange, the aura on the girl's body has changed a lot." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Jiuxiao was extremely impatient with Mei Ruhua's interpretation style of saying half and leaving half left.
"Lian Gongzi said before that Miss Yu has two souls, but in my current opinion, there is only half a soul left in Miss Yu."
Wei Jiuxiao frowned: "What is the solution of the half-soul?" ”
"Someone took Miss Yu's soul, so that the other half of her soul is now erratic."
Ming Ruyan hesitated, "Could it be that Liansheng killed and took away Miss Yu's soul?" ”
Everyone knows that Yu Miaomiao's disappearance this time was because she was killed and took her away.
Wei Jiuxiao was silent for a long time, "Then how can we make her recover." ”
"Only half a soul, even if you wake up," Mei Ruhua shook her head in embarrassment, "It's like a naughty child, and his intelligence is not as good as that of ordinary people." ”
Wei Jiuxiao's expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "No matter whether she can recover or not, this king has promised her a long time ago that he will raise her for a lifetime, and this king promises that he will never lose his word." ”
With his words, the people around him will know his thoughts, and naturally no one will dare to despise Yu Miaomiao, who has become as stupid as a child.
Two days later, the emperor and his sons came to the general's palace in person.
Wei Jiuxiao led people to wait at the gate of the mansion early.
The crown prince Feng Mingxiang, the second prince Feng Leizhi, the third prince Feng Yujie, and the little princess Feng Jundai have all arrived.
Because the eldest prince has always been sent by the emperor to garrison troops on the border, it is rare for him to appear on such occasions, and Wei Jiuxiao is not surprised.
The only surprising thing is that the Prime Minister's Mansion also sent someone to accompany the emperor to mourn the old general.
Yin Haonan was wearing a plain robe and a white jade crown on his head, but the expression on his face couldn't make people believe the grief in his heart no matter what.
The soldiers of the General's Mansion gritted their teeth one by one.
Wei Jiuxiao warned them in advance that they must not cause trouble today, so everyone could only keep their heads down, even if they had a thousand resentments, they could only hold back in their hearts.
Wei Jiuxiao was still dressed as filial piety, and led everyone to take over.
The emperor took a few steps forward with his chubby belly, and raised his hand to help, "Get up." ”
Wei Jiuxiao raised his head, his face was blank, and he looked at Yin Haonan.
From his eyes, he could only see indestructible perseverance, and his tall figure was like a lone peak that would never collapse.
