Chapter 21: Illness Comes Like a Mountain
"Prime Minister Bai's illness is menacing." A cheerful voice said, there was a bit of ridicule and schadenfreude in the voice, the owner of this voice was none other than Bai Qingqing's senior brother Xiao Baiye, who had not seen him for many days and thought he had disappeared.
"He didn't suffer from this disease by accident, but he offended too many people, and everyone wanted to rectify him." The man in a purple robe leaned back on the chair and lazily held a cup of tea and handed it to his mouth, sipping tea while slowly responding to Xiao Baiye's words.
"It's not your big brother, I thought it was because you disliked it and it was too troublesome to deal with him in the matter of Jianghuai Taishou, so you directly stumbled on him and made him powerless to intervene in this matter." Xiao Baiye's eyes showed some surprise.
"It's an interesting woman's hand, her actions are simple and very hidden, and she is an interesting person. If there is no absolute conflict of interest, I want her to be of my use, but the spy came back to me and said that she seems to be very close to Wu Ji. β
Wu Ji...... Hearing this name, Xiao Baiye secretly wondered in his heart: Why is this Wu Ji so idle, he recognized his little nephew as his godson, and now he has contact with others when he arrives in Jianghuai County, I really don't know if the power network is too big, or just an ancient Taoist enthusiast who is happy to get acquainted with the children of the rivers and lakes.
Thinking like this, Xiao Baiye spoke: "Speaking of women, is there any news about the woman you have been thinking about for the past two years?" Xiao Baiye's gossip desire was personally stamped and identified by Bai Qingqing, and he knew everything about the two mosquitoes in the Divine Doctor Valley when they fell in love, so he sent him a trophy of "Best Gossip Master".
Speaking of this, Wei Linxuan's brows gradually furrowed, for two years, he thought that his power was all over the world, but why no matter what force he used, no matter what method he used, he just couldn't find that little girl.
His thoughts flew away, remembering his soft body and coquettish voice when he was crazy that night, Wei Linxuan became even more irritable.
It's just that Xiao Baiye is not used to reading people's faces, he said jokingly: "Isn't she already married?" Didn't take you seriously at all, big brother? Big brother, don't look for it, it is estimated that the girl's children can already make soy sauce. β
Hearing this, Wei Linxuan's brows frowned slightly, and the boredom in his chest became a little more.
"Oops!" As if he had suddenly realized something, Xiao Baiye suddenly screamed, stretched out his right index finger and slowly pointed at Wei Linxuan.
"Big brother, you don't like women after being a eunuch for a long time, you tell me the truth, I don't laugh at you, there are no women wearing jade pendants at all, right? You just like men, don't you? β
Because of his emotion, Xiao Baiye's voice was so loud that the guards at the door could hear it clearly, and his face turned red with a smile.
Wei Linxuan was startled by his sudden and high-volume "eh", and then heard Xiao Baiye's nonsense and felt even more upset, coupled with this unusually high volume, Wei Linxuan felt that he was two heads and two big.
"Boom!" One didn't hold back and kicked out.
"Oops......" Xiao Baiye was kicked out of the door by Wei Linxuan unsuspectingly, rubbing his butt and looking back at his eldest brother Tie Qing's face, knowing that he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to talk to him anymore.
got up and patted the ashes on his body, Xiao Baiye walked away in a gray manner, and muttered in his mouth: "When I was at home, my own sister pricked me with a needle; I finally came out, and my good brother kicked me with his foot, what kind of sin did I do in my last life. β
The guard at the door witnessed the whole process, and he couldn't hold back his laughter, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
β¦β¦
At the post station, a group of officials from Jianghuai County gathered around the bed, looking at the people lying on the bed with earnest eyes.
Lang Zhong took the pulse, and then turned to a room of people and said: "The prime minister has a lot of opportunities every day, and he is bothered and laborious on weekdays, but now he has come to Jianghuai County from the capital, and it is difficult to adapt to the changes in the environment for a while. The doctor stroked his beard and continued: "Coupled with his temperament and temperament, he was in a hurry and hurt his heart. β
"Let's put it in layman's terms!"
Seeing that the doctor was rambling and didn't know what he said, a small official couldn't help but speak.
Although everyone looked concerned, they were just thinking in their hearts: The prime minister was sick when he just came to Jianghuai County, and these officials are usually full of grandeur and prestige in front of the people, but now that the prime minister is in front of him, he immediately lost his usual majesty, and they all wilted like frosted eggplants.
However, the magistrate of this county was too sick to get out of bed, so they were the only ones who came forward to express their concern.
"It's a stroke." Na Langzhong was dissatisfied because he was talking and was rudely interrupted, so the tone of his words was also very unkind.
When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked, and they couldn't care about any etiquette rules anymore, and they lost their minds in an instant.
"How long will it take for the prime minister's illness to heal?"
"What? Stroke, can this stroke be cured? β
"If you want me to say, we are just a small county in Jianghuai, and it is not as good as the prosperity of the capital. Why don't we send the prime minister back to the capital overnight, and let the doctor in the capital treat the prime minister well. β
"Yes, yes, today's saint attaches great importance to the Prime Minister, and now that the Prime Minister is sick, he will definitely send an imperial doctor to treat him."
Bai Jingdao lay on the bed, listening to the discussion of the small officials and officials beside the bed, and felt that one head was two big.
"It's awkward." Bai Chengxiang's beard was shaking, and he finally couldn't help but speak.
"What? What did Prime Minister Bai say? β
"I sound like, 'Where's the Eight Treasures?' β
"No, no, no, I heard the prime minister say "rip off your jacket""
"What are the 'Eight Treasures'? The prime minister didn't wear a jacket, how to pick it up. Besides, let's pick up the prime minister's clothes in this blue sky and white day? What kind of system does it become? β
Bai Jingdao was lying on the bed and asked Qingtian speechlessly, he just wanted to say "stop arguing", but after the stroke, his speech was slurred, and he couldn't even complete a sentence.
Thinking like this, Bai Jingdao not only lamented that his life was difficult, since his daughter Bai Qingwan married the prince, she finally had real power and was respected, but before she had been a few days, she actually had a stroke. I remembered the purpose of my visit to Jianghuai this time, but now that the county guard is sick and he has fallen again, I am afraid that Wei Linxuan will take advantage of the maneuver, I am afraid that this trip to Jianghuai will lose his wife and soldiers.
All kinds of thoughts converged, and Bai Jingdao only felt that his eyes were black and he fainted.
And none of the officials at the bedside noticed, and they were still discussing it word by wordβ
"How can it be dusty, the prime minister is so noble, he must never say such words."
"Maybe you're asking the starling that the Holy Lord gave to Lord Bai?"
Bai Jingdao: ......
