Chapter 120: The Emperor's Mind (6)
"Smack!" A drop of water is placed on the eyelid.
Jiang Jie slowly opened his eyes, and there was a vast fog in front of him, and he couldn't see it really, only hearing mournful cries.
"I... Dead? β
"Who is it... Are you crying for me? Who will weep for me? β
Jiang Jie smiled miserably, and then heard a surprised voice coming from overhead, crying hoarse with great surprise, "Madam... The young master is awake! β
"The young master is awake!"
The voice seemed to be out of the house from near and far, but after a while, it seemed to come back again, "Look, the young master is awake!" β
"Ah Jie!" A gentle and kind voice came slowly, and the figure seemed to be near. Jiang Jie was shocked, his eyes were wet with tears in an instant, and he muttered, "Ah... Auntie? β
"Ah Jie!" The man hugged him into his arms, and the familiar fragrance belonging to distant memories lingered in his nose, and the woman patted his head and said gently, "You are awake..."
"Auntie!" Jiang Jie's consciousness returned, only to feel that his body was as light as smoke, slowly floating, and floating in the air like foam.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the facilities in his roomβthe room he had been in when he was seven years old. Ah Niang was wearing a long lilac dress, and the fragrance of lilies lingered all over her body. He trembled and stretched out his hand, wanting to hug his mother, whom he hadn't seen for many years, but his hands passed through the woman in front of him.
He froze in place, not knowing how to react for a moment.
The woman hugged the child on the bed and coaxed gently, "Don't be naughty next time..."
"Auntie!" Jiang Jie couldn't stop crying anymore, and wanted to nest into her mother's arms, hugging her waist affectionately and coquettishly, but her hand passed through the woman in front of her again.
He burst into tears, sat down on the ground, and muttered his buried thoughts, "A-Niang... I miss you so much! β
"I really want to think about it!"
But no one seems to notice his presence except himself.
There was a little self on the bed, who was hugging his mother and didn't want to get up, so the woman had to pat him on the back and said with relief, "Ah Jie! It's all right! You can't mess around around with the pond anymore! Falling into the pond again, my mother is really scared to death! β
"It's okay!" The little child rubbed his mother's hand, his eyes were full of pride, and he smiled, "A-Niang's medical skills are superb, and she can always cure me quickly!" β
"You, you!" The woman smiled and nodded his forehead, obviously his eyes were red because of the boiling medicine, but his eyes were still full of tenderness, and he said angrily, "Then Ah Jie is not afraid of the bitterness of medicine?" β
"Children are not afraid!" Xiao Jiang Jie hugged his mother's knees and said coquettishly, "Children are not afraid of hardship!" β
"That being the case... Ah Zi! The woman deliberately turned to the maidservant behind her and ordered, "Bring the medicine to the young master, and there is no need to present candied fruit today..."
"Yes!" The servant girl grinned and took the order.
Hearing this, the little child's eyes widened, and he was speechless, and immediately cried with a sad face, "Mother..."
When his mother saw his appearance, she instantly smiled crookedly, and the maidservants in the room also laughed.
In the happy atmosphere, a maidservant beside him knelt down and sincerely pleaded, "Please punish the lady!" β
"Aluo, what are you doing here?" The woman frowned, "It's not your fault. I've forgiven you! β
"Madame treats slaves and maids like a mountain!" The maid named Ah Luo had red and swollen eyes, apparently the one who had just sat on the edge of the bed and cried. She kowtowed deeply to the ground, "The slave can't even take care of the little master!" Madame is kind-hearted, but Arlo is apologetic! Please also punish Madame! β
"Ah Luo!" The woman placed Xiao Jiang Jie in the quilt, then helped the maid up, and said softly, "Ah Jie is still a child, and he is naughty." Falling overboard is an accident and has nothing to do with you. What's more... You have been staying at the bedside of Ah Jie for three days without sleeping, and if you have, it has already canceled each other out. β
Mother is always so kind, no wonder the people in the house always praise her mother.
Jiang Jie looked at his mother and raised a proud smile, but suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but change his face. He scrambled to get up and try to grab his mother's hand, but again and again he passed through her wrist and grasped a piece of void.
"Mother!" Jiang Jie lost his voice and shouted, "Mother! β
He opened his mouth to stop her and tell her not to save people casually, but with all his strength and hoarseness, he couldn't let anyone in front of him hear her, so he had to watch her leave.

The backyard of the General's Palace.
A tall woman was sitting upright on the main seat, the woman was dignified and quite beautiful, it was the eldest lady of the mansion, the daughter of the prefect who was married to the Ming Media of the General's Mansion.
At this moment, she was picking up a cup of tea, putting it to her lips, taking a sip, as if unintentionally mentioning it, "I heard that the third sister recently saved an injured patient into the house, does my sister know about this?" β
On the side sat a woman with a beautiful appearance and a gentle temperament, who was the second lady of the house.
Hearing this, she raised her left hand and covered her face with her sleeve, revealing a sneer that was extremely inconsistent with her appearance and temperament, "It can't be that she is hiding a little white face!" β
"Oh? What do you mean by that? β
The second lady had a knife in the corner of her eyes, and her slender voice revealed a little viciousness, and said with a smile, "The next person replied, saying that she saw that she brought someone back to the house, but after entering the house, there was no trace of that person." If you are an upright person, how can you quietly enter the house, but then quietly disappear? β
"My sister is really smart!" The eldest lady put down the teacup in her hand, clapped her hands, and smiled with satisfaction, "These three sisters are used to talking flatteringly on weekdays, coaxing the house up and down. It can be said that it has been seen for a long time, and now the fox's tail is finally revealed..."
"It's just a bamboo basket to draw water, and a monkey to catch the moon! The name of the sister and the mother, the status is noble, and there is no need to worry about it. The second lady immediately agreed, coaxing the eldest lady into laughter, "This despicable person is someone to clean up!" β
β¦β¦
At this time, the capital of the imperial city also exploded with a bombshell news. On the street, five steps and one defense, ten steps and one sentry, are putting up a reward. As soon as a soldier posted the emperor's list, a group of people surrounded him and whispered.
"The assassination of the imperial court? Killer seriously injured? Wanted in the city? A bounty of 10,000 taels of gold? A literate person read the imperial list under the urging of others, and exclaimed to tell the important information one by one.
"What kind of respectable lord is it? It was so by the emperor's grace! A reward of 10,000 taels of gold was offered! β
"Shh There was a sneer from the crowd, "What a respectable adult, the death is nothing more than a bullying and arrogant dog official!" β
"Relying on his eldest uncle to be an important member of the court, he has always been unpopular and domineering! He didn't do much to rob the people's daughters and oppress the people! β
"Shhhh Be quiet! β
"If this is heard, it will be beheaded!"
"Hey...".
The whispers grew more and more muffled...
