At night, Mu Hongshang didn't sleep very peacefully. Although Gu Yilan deliberately explained the lotus leaf before returning to her parents' house, and asked the lotus leaf to boil a night of calming soup for Mu Hongsheng at night, Mu Hongshang drank the decoction and still didn't sleep well.

Mu Biying, who was covered in bandages, was also in Mu Hongsheng's bedroom. The lotus leaf spread a brocade quilt on the ground next to the bed, and Biying lay on the brocade quilt to rest. It had been washed and cleaned, and the wounds had been cleaned and bandaged.

When the lotus leaf bandaged Biying, he shaved off the hair near the wound, because there were so many injuries, so now Mu Biying is simply ugly, and her head and body are like baldness, revealing one bald skin after another, and there are pits.

Mu Biying rushed all the way home, her claws were bald, and she was really tired. It has not had a good appetite these days, and it has been in a state of low spirits, lying on the side of Mu Hongsheng's bed, rarely moving.

Mu Hongshang always turned over on the bed, and every time she moved, Mu Biying by the window had to open her eyes and take a look, caring about the master's condition. But it never made a sound, as if it was afraid of disturbing Mu Hongsheng's rest, and even breathed gently.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, Mu Biying raised her head and looked out of the window vigilantly.

There was a knock on the courtyard door soon, and the voice of the vigil grandmother came from outside: "Lotus leaf girl, water chestnut girl open the door!" ”

The voice was not loud, but Mu Hongsheng was immediately awakened, she directly lifted the bed tent and looked out. Seeing that the master woke up, Mu Bi was unhappy, baring his teeth and letting out a low whirring roar outside, as if he was blaming the people outside for waking up Mu Hongsheng.

Lotus Ye went to answer the door, she opened the courtyard door and said a few words to the grandmother outside, turned around and walked back.

"What's the matter?" Mu Hongshang was not at ease, and while getting out of bed and putting on her shoes, she asked loudly through the window.

As soon as she finished speaking, the lotus leaf who went to answer the door hurriedly pushed the door in: "Miss, the pigeon whistle in the north has arrived." You have confessed, no matter what time it is, as long as there is news in the north, I will report it to you immediately. ”

"Clothes." Mu Hongshang immediately turned around and grabbed the skirt on the hanger: "I'll go to the front yard." ”

Lotus Ye put the lamp in his hand on the table and leaned over to help Mu Hongsheng change his clothes. She was busy, and the water chestnut came in with a lantern, and she had already hurriedly dressed and was ready to accompany Mu Hongshang to the front yard.

After Mu Hongshang was dressed neatly, he hurriedly stepped on the moonlight with a water chestnut and walked to the front yard. However, they had barely walked a few steps out when they saw a light not far away. Mu Hongshang slowed down and took a closer look, and found that it was actually Mrs. Mu wearing a cloak and walking on crutches, with Cuiyun and Cuiliu, who were also walking in the direction of the front yard.

"Grandmother," Mu Hongsheng hurriedly ran a few steps and went up to support Old Madam Mu: "Why are you up?" ”

"I'm not at ease," Old Madam Mu patted Mu Hongsheng's hand: "So I told them, when there is news, when to inform me." ”

Mu Hongshang looked at Mrs. Mu's gray hair, she did not persuade Mrs. Mu to go back to rest, but instead tightened her grandmother's arm and supported her to walk faster to the front yard.

When she was about to arrive at the front yard, Mrs. Mu suddenly spoke: "Hongsheng, don't be afraid, everything is with grandmother." ”

"No," Mu Hongsheng raised her face, looked at Old Madam Mu's eyes seriously and replied, "This should be me." Don't be afraid, grandmother, I'm here. ”

Old Madam Mu stopped, looked at her granddaughter's young and delicate face carefully in the moonlight and lights, she stretched out a hand, touched Mu Hongsheng's obviously thin cheek, nodded and replied, "Okay!" Good! Grandmother is not afraid, you don't have to be afraid, the two of us support each other, what kind of wind and waves, we can survive it. "Little Peach Chinese

Old Madam Mu's voice was slightly choked. She wasn't sure if the pigeon whistle from the north would bring news of her two grandsons. She longed for the news, but she was afraid that it would plunge her deeper into the abyss.

When Mrs. Mu led Mu Hongshang into the study, her hands were trembling. In the study, the gentlemen of the Anguo Mansion had complicated expressions, and they looked at the grandparents and grandchildren standing by the door, not knowing how to speak.

In the end, it was Mu Hongsheng who took the lead in breaking the deadlock, she took a step forward and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Sun, is the pigeon whistle in the north really back?" Fifth brother and younger brother have news, right? ”

Mr. Sun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded decisively: "The fifth prince survived, and he is now suffering from a big injury in Heng'an." ”

Neither Mu Hongshang nor Old Madam Mu, who was leaning against the door frame, showed any surprise on their faces. They understood Mr. Sun's words. The fifth prince survived. The fifth prince is alive......

Mr. Sun only mentioned the fifth son, but the implication was already very clear. In the end, he couldn't bear to say it.

Mu Hongsheng was silent, her face pale. Mrs. Mu shook her hands and hugged her granddaughter in her arms, I don't know if it was to comfort Mu Hongsheng or to comfort herself.

"Jinyi, I found it too, right?" Old Madam Mu finally asked, her voice old and tired, with a hint of imperceptible trembling.

Mr. Sun nodded silently, Mrs. Mu closed her eyes instantly, and the whole person leaned against the door frame, as if she couldn't stand steadily, and several gentlemen hurriedly came over and helped Mrs. Mu to the chair.

Mu Hongshang still stood by the door in a daze, and after a while, he asked in a low voice, "Then ...... my brother?"

"Miss," Mr. Chen replied with a sigh, "don't embarrass yourself like this. ”

Mu Hongsheng's eyes widened, looking at Mr. Chen's face, only to feel a piercing pain. She was actually mentally prepared, and when she saw the blood book of brocade, she was already mentally prepared.

She thought she had been able to take the worst news, she thought ......

Mu Hongsheng's throat moved slightly, clenched his teeth tightly, and trembled slightly. Everyone thought she was going to cry, but she still didn't.

Old Madam Mu, who was helped down in a chair, had a very ugly face, but she did not shed tears. She closed her eyes, dizzy for a moment, and then said, "The pigeon whistle is earlier than I expected. I thought it would be a few days before there was news. ”

"This pigeon whistle was sent out on the initiative of the north." Mr. Sun immediately replied: "It was sent by the second son from the Heng'an camp. If we count the time, it should have been sent out sooner than the emergency pigeon whistle we had brought to the north. ”

"Is it an iron cloak?" Old Madam Mu immediately opened her eyes.

"It's the second son." Mr. Sun handed the scroll of paper with small characters to Mrs. Mu.

The light was dim, and Old Madam Mu's eyes were spent, and she couldn't see clearly at all, so Mu Hongshang immediately leaned over and read the news brought by Mu Tieyi for Old Madam Mu.
