Chapter 47: Dreams are too painful, and people are emaciated
I woke up from a dream. Gasping for breath and sitting on the edge of the bed. The room was so quiet that I could hear the sound of my heart pounding rapidly. I got up, poured myself a glass of water, drank it and sat down in front of the dressing table. Look at yourself in the mirror. It's not yet dawn. I have no intention of sleeping again. Thought about it. Called Yun San. It's been quiet all day lately. So I arranged for the three of them to keep one person by my side every night. The remaining two went to sleep in the secret room. Today it is the turn of Yun San to be on duty.
"Cloud three. Do any of them have a letter?"
"Master. There are several things. But there's no hurry. Are you taking a break any longer. It's not dawn yet." Yun San is worried about me. I know. I've been resting too little lately.
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine. Go ahead. What's going on?"
Yun San sighed lightly and said, "One is the cause of death of the eldest brother of the Yongwang Mansion who was asked by the master to investigate. After investigation. It was the side Fujin Li who was instigated by the maids around her to give Ah Ge a 'medicine' that was compatible with the 'medicine' she was taking. Maybe sick for a few days. I want to compete for favor with this. But the 'medicine' that the maid got was specially prepared by the Fujin Nala clan. Lethal 'medicine'."
I froze. Oh, my God. That's the reason. No wonder. No wonder Hongyun would say that. Poor child. But I can't avenge him. Oh, my God. A thought crossed my mind. I said to Yun San, "Spread the word. Keep a good look at Nala. She must not be allowed to do anything to Hiroshi again. And also. Doesn't she like to give people 'medicine'. Let her taste the consequences of being 'drugged' herself."
"The master means."
"I want her. Can never have children again. Never." Nala Clan. Aren't you just worried that other children will compete for favor or take away the status of the son? I want you. There will never be another chance. No more.
"Yes. Master. One more thing. Something you commanded. The four secret leaders have done as promised. Butterfly-sama asked me to ask for your advice. Do you need to look at the books?" Yun San said respectfully.
I thought for a moment and said, "Tell her. No need to. She did the work. I'm relieved. This book does not need to be checked. That's right. Jiangnan fraud case. How's the Dark Guard doing here?" Most of the things about the Gangnam fraud case. At the time of investigating the Caodou case. The Secret Guard has already found out. At this time. It's just a separate one. It should be fine.
Yun San smiled slightly and said, "Lord Kazekage-sama said it. It's all sorted out. Ask the master what he wants to do."
"Never. Just let it go for now. The emperor doesn't. We won't mention it. It's just a matter of preparing for a rainy day. Anything else?" The emperor doesn't want to know what the hell is going on. Why should I ask for my own suffering?
Yun San probably didn't expect what I would say. Stunned for a moment, he replied, "Nothing else. Master."
I nodded. After thinking about it, he said, "It's going to be dawn too. There you go."
After Yun San stepped back. I tugged at the rope by the window. I don't like Lan Yue sleeping in my room. I don't want her to stay in front of my 'door' all night. So I bolted a bell in Lan Yue's room. The line has been pulled into my room. I tugged at the line. The bell rings. She knew I was awake.
Not for a while. Lan Yue knocked on the 'door' and asked softly, "Is the master awake?"
"Lan Yue. Help me prepare water for bathing. I'm going to go to Brother Thirteen in a moment." I haven't seen Brother Thirteen for a long time. I finally found time to meet him at his house today. It's been a long time since I've seen Zhao Jia Fujin and Xiao Gege. Thinking about it tightly.
After bathing. I sat down in front of the dressing table and asked Lan Yue to wipe my hair for me. The person in the mirror is even thinner than he was half a month ago. My cheeks are sinking a little. Lan Yue said while wiping my hair: "Gege has been getting thinner and thinner recently. The slave knows that you are sad. But you have to take care of yourself. Agotha. It's been more than half a month."
Oh, yes. Hongyun is gone. It's been more than half a month. I sighed, "I see. Rest assured. It's always going to be fine."
Dry your hair. Lan Yue put her hair in a simple bun. I only wore the white 'jade' hairpin with the white 'jade' earrings given by the fourth master. Wearing a moon-white 'colored' palace dress. And went out.
I've been in bad health lately. No horseback riding. Sitting in a sedan chair, swaying all the way to the thirteenth brother's mansion. The butler is waiting at the 'door'. When you see me coming, you are busy catching up. Lead me to the 'Flower' Hall. Brother Thirteen and Zhao Jia Fujin are sitting in the 'flower' hall.
"Thirteenth brother. Thirteen sisters-in-law." See them. A warm feeling welled up in my heart.
The thirteenth sister-in-law came over and took my hand and looked at me with disgust: "You girl. How did you lose weight like this. No matter what. Take good care of your body, too." She said. The eye sockets are red.
I hurriedly comforted her: "Sister-in-law. Rest assured. I'm fine. Don't worry."
She 'touched' my face in distress. Pull me to sit down. The thirteenth brother looked at me and said, "I've lost too much weight. Look. This garment of yours was freshly cut from Rehe. Now it's all swinging on you, and you look at your wrist again. The bracelets are about to fall off."
I looked down. Truly. The bracelet on the wrist looks like it's going to fall off at any moment. I smiled embarrassedly and said, "I really didn't know I had lost so much weight. Makes you worried."
The thirteenth sister-in-law shook her head and said, "Come on. Say no more about you. I'm going to have to watch you eat more today."
I smiled and nodded, "Sister-in-law, let's find me some snacks now. I want to eat what you made. The cooks in my house can't make my sister-in-law taste."
The thirteenth sister-in-law stood up with a smile and said, "Okay. Go to the study and talk to your brother and sister. I'll bring you some snacks in a moment."
Sit in the study. Brother Thirteen asked me, "Are you too tired these days. What about Hiroshi?"
I sighed helplessly and said, "I sent it back a few days ago."
"How is he?"
I think of what Hiroshi looks like these days. I felt uncomfortable: "What else? So innocent and innocent child. It's like it grew up overnight. Sometimes I don't say a word throughout the day. I asked him. And he replied. Don't ask him. He didn't say anything. Follow me all day long. Where am I going. He followed without landing. As soon as he approached him. And he hid. Crying every day after falling asleep in the middle of the night. No way. Later, I asked him to sleep with me. It's getting better. Yesterday, the fourth master took it back after talking about it. But he still asked me to see him every day."
The thirteenth brother also sighed helplessly and said, "Poor child. Ay. The fourth brother looks even more worrying like that. Something like this happened. Government affairs cannot be relaxed at all. Emperor Ammadhu did not say that he should suspend his affairs. What do you say is this?"
"Who knows what Huang Ama thinks." Truly. Something like this happened. Kangxi Ye didn't say to let the fourth master let go of those trivial things. Rest well at home. There is such a father in the world. It's really royal and ruthless.
