Chapter 4: Visitation
Ning Luoge stayed up all night with the medicine, and brought it to the man as soon as it was dawn.
"General, drink it while it's hot"
The man took the medicine bowl and glanced at the woman's swollen eyes and the dark green under her eyes, "Haven't slept all night?" ”
"Uh-huh......."
"Go back and rest, your body can't bear it like this" In the cold words, the woman sniffed out a trace of concern.
looked at the man with a smile, "It's okay, the most important thing now is to detoxify the general"
The man didn't say anything else, he drank the medicine down, frowning slightly.
Ning Luoge immediately handed over a candied fruit, "Eating a candied fruit will not be bitter"
The man looked at it, but didn't take it.
Ning Luoge's hand raised in mid-air looked a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly withdrew the "good medicine bitter mouth"
It just so happened that Lu Min came in, Ning Luoge put away the medicine bowl and leaned over slightly, "Then I'll go out first"
Lu Min looked at the woman's figure, "General, Dr. Ning is really good to you, I studied the prescription for you all night, and I sent the medicine over so early today."
The man drank a glass of water to soothe the bitterness in his mouth.
"Recruited?"
Lu Min sat opposite the man, "No", and then paused, "I said I wanted to see you."
"See me?" The man's long, white fingers tapped on the table one by one.
Then he got up and said, "Let's go, go meet him"
"General..........." Lu Min wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it, got up and led the way in front.
The cell is not far from the main camp, but it is very remote and cannot be seen all year round.
As soon as the man walked in, he felt a little unwell and coughed a few times.
"General.........
"It's okay, let's go"
In the fifth cell on the right, a bloodied man was tied to a shelf, his head drooping, as if he had fainted.
"Wake up," the man said coldly.
A basin of cold water went straight down, freezing the man's spirit.
The man waved his hand, and Lu Min went out with the others.
"Will ...... The general ...... "The man seemed to use all his strength, looked up at the man in front of him, and then lowered his head again.
"Mu Yu, how long have you been with me?" The man asked softly.
"Thirteen years and thirty-two days," Mu Yu said without even thinking about it.
"When did it start?"
"General, I'm sorry for you, just kill me, give me a good time"
The man curled the corners of his mouth, "If I'm not mistaken, you're a year younger than me"
"Yes"
"It was raining heavily that day, and you fainted on the side of the road, and I saw that you were pitiful and took you back. At that time, there was no one around me, and seeing that you were pure and good-natured, and you were about the same age as me, I taught you literacy and martial arts, so that you could be used by me in the future."
"All these years, I have trusted you except Lu Min, it is your .........." The man's gaze never left Mu Yu.
"Why?"
"I had a one-year-old mother in my family, and he threatened me that if I didn't do anything for him, I would kill my mother. Since I was a child, I have always followed my mother for my life, and I can't abandon my mother."
There was a long silence in the cell.
"General...........
The man was silent for a moment, then pulled out the knife on the side and cut off the shackles covering Mu Yu's hand, and without support, Mu Yu fell heavily to the ground.
Raising his blood-covered face, he looked at the man in disbelief "General ........"
"You know that I hate the person who betrayed me the most, I won't kill you today, you go back and settle your mother and kill yourself"
The knife fell heavily on Mu Yu's side, leaving a few trembling sounds. Mu Yu picked up the knife, supported himself, and kept looking at the man, his lips moved slightly, and then he lowered his head again.
Lu Min watched the man come out and hurriedly followed behind, "The general won't kill him?" ”
"He has been with me for thirteen years"
"He didn't say anything yet"
"Need you say anything? Think I'm not the only one who dies from beginning to end? Keeping him and interrogating him is nothing more than a solace in his heart," there was no expression on the man's gloomy face.
"News from Kyoto, the prince of Jiuli at the beginning of next month"
"Yuxuan?"
Lu Min shook his head, "Concubine De's son"
"Oh?" The man's pupils were slightly dilated, and he was a little surprised, "The queen didn't say anything?" ”
"There was no movement in Cining Palace, and the queen didn't seem to object. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Concubine De poured into the emperor," Lu Min really couldn't figure it out.
"If you don't stand up, who told Concubine De to take the first step"
“.............”
That night, a holy decree was ushered in, which roughly meant that he had been guarding the border for more than ten years, and he had caught up with the crown prince, and specially approved him to go back to Kyoto to have a look.
"General, this emperor must want to take advantage of this to seize the military power in your hands"
Lu Min can see it, how can the man not understand?
"Then it depends on whether he has the ability to do it?"
*******
Li prepared the white fungus bird's nest and led Magu to Beiyuan, and Ye Ruotang was taking a lunch break when he arrived.
"Madame" Luzhu was pruning the flowers and plants in the yard, when she heard a voice and turned her head to see that a person was ushered in.
"Miss?" Li asked with a smile on his face.
"The eldest lady is taking a lunch break at this time, I'll go and tell the eldest lady to get up" Luzhu was about to leave, but was stopped by Li.
"No need, let her sleep, I'll wait in the yard," he said, Li found a stool and sat down.
Magu behind her glared at Luzhu, and Luzhu hurriedly went to make a pot of tea.
"Let's go get busy first"
"Yes"
Green bamboo continued to prune the flower branches, looking at the door from time to time.
Lu Yan went to the south of the city to buy the eldest lady's favorite gardenia cake, and he couldn't come back for a while.
Lu Zhu felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hoped that the eldest lady would wake up early, but time passed little by little, seeing that the sun was about to set, there was no sound in Ye Ruotang's room.
Although this is almost spring, Beiyuan is located in a remote area, and this courtyard is facing the wind, and then look at this Li family, his lips are a little white from cold, if he goes back to get sick, it is not all thanks to the eldest lady's head.
"Madam, please sit in the house, it's cold outside, and there is a stove in the house."
"It's out of the way, the air outside here is good" looked around, "The scenery in your yard is also very good, and you have planted a lot of flowers"
"The eldest lady likes flowers, so there are many varieties"
Li glanced at Magu, and when he went back, there were more in our yard.
"Yes, ma'am"
Luzhu stepped aside, really anxious, and quietly walked into the girl's room.
"Miss, Miss, Wake up"
"What's the matter, I haven't woken up yet" Ye Ruotang shook off Lu Zhu's hand, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Here comes Madame"
"Come on, come" Ye Ruotang was dreaming of having lunch with South Korean Oba, and he was about to hold hands, but he was woken up, disturbing people's dreams, and the crime was extremely evil.
It is estimated that after more than ten seconds, Ye Ruotang sat up with his eyes closed, "Do you know that it disturbed my sweet dreams?"
Where can Luzhu manage so much, "Miss, let's go out and have a look, Mrs. has been waiting in the yard for three hours"
"If she wants to wait, let her wait, why are you in such a hurry?" Seeing that Ye Ruotang was about to lie down again, Lu Zhu hurriedly caught it in the back.
"Aunt Ma also came, maybe she said something in front of Madame?"
When Ye Ruotang heard this, he opened his eyes and instantly sobered up.
Lu Yan said before that this second aunt was very scheming, and she used to love to bully herself, but now how can she come to visit herself so well, there will be explosions in it.
"Why didn't you invite her into the house?"
"Please, Mrs. said that the scenery in the yard is good, and she doesn't want to enter the house"
It would be even more unpleasant if she caught a cold and turned around and put herself in front of her father.
Ye Ruotang kicked his shoes in a panic and hurriedly ran out
"Yo, second aunt, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" said, glanced back at Luzhu, "You are really, the second aunt didn't know to call me when she came"
Luzhu lowered his head and whispered, "The slave knows it's wrong."
"Hey, don't blame her, I asked her not to call you, you fell into the water a few days ago, your body is still relatively weak, you should have a good rest"
"How can this be done, the second aunt is an elder, where is there anyone who lets the elders wait outside for so long, if this reaches my father's ears, I will definitely be blamed" After that, Ye Ruotang also pretended to cough a few times.
"You kid has always been very sensible, if only Nan'er was half as sensible as you" Li took the girl's hand and patted it from time to time.
"The second sister is still young, and now is the age of being lively and active"
Li glanced at Magu, "It was Magu who was reckless this morning, did you hurt you?"
"Never"
Magu playfully put the things she brought on the table.
"This is the white fungus bird's nest that the master brought back from the Western Regions, Nan'er often eats this, you haven't tasted it yet, I'll bring you some today, this can be used for beauty, it's good for your body to eat."
Ye Ruotang glanced at it, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Thank you Second Aunt" and said, "No wonder the Second Aunt is so well maintained, if you want to say that the Second Aunt is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, I can also trust it"
Li Shi's mouth couldn't close when he heard the laughter, "You kid's mouth is so sweet"
The two of them said a few words without a match, and Li said, "It's not too early, I won't bother you, I'll go back first."
"I'll send you" The two walked to the door, and Li suddenly said, "Please don't take Magu's affairs to heart during the day."
"What's the matter?" Ye Ruotang blinked at her with a pair of innocent eyes.
Li Shi was quite satisfied with her reaction, "It's nothing, I'll come to my plum garden when I'm free another day."
"Okay"
"Don't send it, go back and rest"
"Second Aunt Walk Slowly"
Sending away Li's Ye Ruotang can be regarded as a sigh of relief.
"Miss.........." Lu Zhu looked at the white fungus bird's nest on the table, and was a little surprised for a while, "Madame, but I have never entered this Beiyuan, not only did I come today, but I also gave a lot of gifts" Lu Zhu thought about it and thought about it, and he was a little puzzled.
This Li is really cunning and cunning, I am afraid that she will spread today's events to her father's ears, isn't this just hush money?
As the saying goes, eat people with a short mouth and a soft hand.
If you say the wrong thing again, won't you become ignorant?
That's a great plan...........
"Weasel didn't have a good heart to give the chickens a New Year's greeting," Ye Ruotang muttered.
"Eldest Miss, this is really a good thing, I see that the second lady often eats this"
Ye Ruotang stared at the table, didn't the Li family clearly want to tell himself that this father wanted more from them, and Ye Zhinan, who was so precious bird's nest, could eat it from time to time, and as a concubine, it was the first time she had seen her today.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you" After speaking, Ye Ruotang entered the house.
Luzhu stood next to him, "It's better for the eldest lady to eat such a valuable thing, I can't digest it"
“............”
"Madam, this girl really doesn't talk nonsense?" Magu asked suspiciously.
"This girl is very smart" Walking and walking, Li suddenly paused, "It's just that when I saw it today, her temperament is really very different from before, and she has become a little sharp."
"Isn't it, it's not going to be easy to deal with in the future."
"Fortunately, she doesn't remember anything before, and a little girl doesn't become a climate"
While the two were talking, Ye Zhinan walked over from the opposite side.
"Mother, what are you talking about?"
"Second Miss"
"Where did this go?"
"There is a poetry meeting in Xiaozhu today, so I came back later" Ye Zhinan smiled, and he was a little proud, it seems that the poetry meeting will shine.
This Yunqi small building is a courtyard outside the city for Han Qixue, the daughter of the left minister.
Gui is the daughter of the left prime minister, but there is no shelf at all, she is approachable, and she is also a famous talented woman in Nanxun.
I always like to make friends with some talented people, no matter what I was born in, as long as I have literary talent, I can enter this cloud habitat building.
"It's okay, if you have more dealings with these official ladies, maybe you can marry some high-ranking officials and nobles as concubines in the future."
"Mother, I don't want to be a concubine, I want to enter the palace as a concubine, and I will be a mother in the world"
As soon as Ye Zhinan finished speaking, Li covered her mouth, and his face became serious, "What nonsense, how can the palace be said to be able to enter?" Besides, this queen is still there, where is your share? ”
"Mother, what is the most precious thing about this woman? Naturally, youth is beauty, and if the queen looks old in a few years, will the emperor still like her? ”
Ye Zhinan said that the head was the way, and Li stretched out his finger and poked her head, "These words, you just tell me, don't go outside and talk nonsense, this is disrespectful to the queen, but you will lose your head."
Ye Zhinan immediately took Li's hand, "I know mother, your daughter is not so stupid"
"Do you really want to enter the palace as a concubine?"
"Those children of official families are idle all day long, according to their daughters, it is difficult to become a climate"
Li Shi was very satisfied, and looked at the slim daughter in front of him, "Nan'er is more and more like your father now"
"It's all Daddy's teaching on weekdays"
