Chapter 27 Returning Home for Healing
Late at night, there was silence in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao sat in Lingxi's house and held Cao Chong in his arms.
The wound on his arm is slowly healing, but the pain of losing his son and his love will remain in his heart and cannot be dissipated.
He looked at Cao Chong's cute little face: "Chong'er, your mother has abandoned us, I can't find her anywhere, where can she run away as a weak woman." ”
Cao Chong seemed to be able to understand Cao Cao's words and the sadness in his eyes, so he frowned and cried.
Cao Cao hurriedly appeased: "Chong'er doesn't cry, Dad is going to heaven and earth, and he wants to get your mother back, she is so ruthless to us, she must punish her severely, okay." ”
After saying this, Cao Chong stopped crying.
This kid is so clever, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh again.
He called someone to take Cao Chong to sleep, while he lay on the bed, thinking non-stop.
After Lingxi left, as long as he was in the mansion, he would still run here every once in a while and rest here, just like when Lingxi was still there.
He thought that Lingxi was just frightened by the scene in the palace and was afraid of him, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was not only himself who defeated Lingxi, but also his own son.
He thought that Lingxi was a little angry and would come back in just a few days, but he didn't expect that it would be a few months to leave.
Since Lingxi disappeared, he sent several teams to look for her, but this time it was not as good as the previous time to look for her, and there was no news at all.
She is alone, and she has just given birth, where will she go......
The next day, before dawn and Cao Cao was still asleep, he heard an anxious voice from his subordinate to report that the little boy suddenly began to have a fever and was crying non-stop.
Cao Cao was startled and hurried to see it.
Wasn't it okay last night?
He quickly sent the imperial doctor into the house to check, and the imperial doctor only said that he was cold and prescribed medicine, but Cao Chong was too young to take the medicine at all, and he kept crying and crying, he was uncomfortable and couldn't express it, which made Cao Cao feel distressed.
Cao Cao sent Mrs. Bian, after all, Mrs. Bian had already taken care of the eldest children, she gently picked up Cao Chong and comforted her, and the children slowly settled down.
But what is worrying is that the high fever does not go away.
"Husband, such a young child, if the fever does not go away, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it." Mrs. Bian was also anxious: "Where did Sister Lingxi go, how could she not even care about her own son." ”
Mrs. Bian actually didn't know what happened to Lingxi and Cao Cao, Cao Cao had always doted on Lingxi, and since Lingxi saved their lives in Lu Bu's hands that day, there was no one in Mrs. Bian and the other concubines who were not grateful to Lingxi, and she shouldn't have suffered any grievances.
But in fact, even if the reason is stated, Mrs. Bian can't understand that here, her husband is heaven, and how can they women ask about his behavior outside.
"This demon! See if I don't clean her up! Seeing the child's pain, Cao Cao was anxious and angry.
"Prime Minister, Mr. Xun Yu is here." At this time, the next person came to report.
"Nope!" What to do at this time, Cao Cao was still angry that Xun Yu told Lingxi about that day, if it weren't for Xun Yu being his confidant better than his subordinates, he really wanted to give him a sword.
"Mr. Xun Yu said that he has a way to cure the little boy, and hopes that the prime minister will give him a chance to make up for his mistakes."
Cao Cao paused, and then said, "Call him in." ”
"Lord, what happened that day was Xun Yu's fault, Xun Yu didn't expect it to hit Mrs. Huan so hard."
This is the first time Xun Yu has faced Cao Cao head-on after the accident.
He cared about the Son of Heaven and didn't want to see Cao Cao act disobediently, but he forgot to protect Mrs. Huan's feelings.
"Don't talk nonsense, do you have any way to cure Chong'er." Cao Cao said.
"According to some generals and young generals in the barracks, the divine doctor Hua Tuo lives deep in the mountains and forests on the border of Yanzhou, and I want to ask the divine doctor to come to the house to treat the little son." Xun Yu said respectfully.
"Miracle doctor? Better than the imperial doctor in the palace? ”
"Hua Tuo has always walked the people, saving lives and helping the wounded, and has a good reputation outside, specializing in the treatment of some incurable diseases.
……
By the time the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion came to Hua Tuo's residence, it was already close to the evening.
Treat the little son of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Hua Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then said calmly: "Everyone, wait a minute, the old man will prepare the medicine box and leave immediately." ”
"Lingxi, it's time to go home, pack your things and go with me."
Hua Tuo came to the house, dropped this sentence to Lingxi, and sorted out the things that went out for consultation.
In the past few days, Hua Tuo's persuasion has made Lingxi feel a lot more at ease, and she also misses her son very much, but after all, she ran out by herself, and she doesn't dare to go back at all now, and she doesn't dare to see Cao Cao......
"What are you doing here?"
On the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lingxi and Hua Tuo sat in the carriage, but she still couldn't ignore the child's illness, and finally followed Hua Tuo into the car.
Hua Tuo watched Lingxi cover her delicate face with a mask, which was obviously given to Lingxi by herself as a precaution, and she was asked to take it out at this time.
Looking at it this way, Lingxi has changed into a person, no longer delicate, like an ordinary rural woman.
It's just that her eyes still exude a different brilliance.
"Master, I haven't figured out how to see him yet, if it weren't for Chong'er's illness, I wouldn't dare to go back now. Master, you're right, I can't change him, and I can't let go of my thoughts and children, so I have to change myself. ”
Lingxi smiled: "Fortunately, I still know that Chong'er will be fine this time." ”
"You, am I talking about this change?" Hua Tuo smiled helplessly: "Who are you Cao Cao, will he not see through you?" ”
"Master, don't curse me." Lingxi thought for a moment, and then said, "That's right, I almost forgot this." ”
She wrapped the clasps around her ankles with strips of cloth to keep them from making noises.
The Prime Minister's Mansion arrived in the blink of an eye.
Lingxi and Hua Tuo got out of the car and were taken directly to the courtyard where they lived.
"Prime Minister, this is Hua Tuo, this is his apprentice."
Cao Cao stood at the door, looking at Hua Tuo with a little apprentice, and didn't think much about it at all: "Sir, please come in." ”
He stayed by Cao Chong's side all day, watching the child sad, his heart hurt, this child is not only his precious son, but also the concern between him and Lingxi.
Lingxi quietly looked up at Cao Cao, didn't dare to think about it, and followed Hua Tuo in.
In the house, Mrs. Bian was still sitting on the edge of the bed with the child in her arms. She also sat here all day, and as soon as she put down the child, the child started crying......
When Mrs. Bian saw the doctor coming, she hurriedly said, "Sir, come and see this child." ”
She put Cao Chong on the bed and stood up.
Cao Chong began to cry again, but he was not feeling well this day, and he was a little dumb when he cried.
When Lingxi saw it, tears fell instantly, even if he knew that he was fine, it was his own child.
He is so small, so cute, how could he be ruthless to leave her, she is not as good as Mrs. Bian.
Hua Tuo asked the imperial doctor for what he said, and combined with Cao Chong's situation, he planned to give the child an injection.
Lingxi's heart ached, but she couldn't speak, and her tears kept rolling.
"Chong'er is still so young, can she stand the needle?" Mrs. Bian's face was full of worry, and it was really unheard of to administer needles to such a young child.
"Madame, don't worry, you can't drink the decoction right now, if you don't use a needle, I'm afraid it's dangerous." Hua Tuo comforted, and unhurriedly chose a suitable silver needle.
"Don't worry, since you have invited Mr. to come, you have to trust him." On the side, Cao Cao walked over, he patted Mrs. Bian's shoulder comfortingly, and said, "I've worked hard for you today, Ruyu." ”
Mrs. Bian said gently: "Where is the husband, when Chong'er is better, I will take him to my side, the husband is often not in the house, the subordinates are subordinates after all, and the children are most assured to raise them by themselves." ”
When Lingxi heard this, she felt more and more ashamed, and regretted that her mother had done too incompetently.
After tossing for a long time, Cao Chong finally fell asleep, uncomfortable all day, and now finally rested, thinking that the body felt better, and everyone was relieved.
"Sir, can you take the child back to sleep with me?" Mrs. Bian asked.
Hua Tuo looked at the Lingxi on the side and said, "Madam, the little boy is not completely out of danger, if he goes out and suffers from the wind and cold again, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, so it is not too late to wait for the little boy to get well before leaving." I and I are here to take care of, please rest assured. ”
"Prime Minister, please rest too."
Hua Tuo mentioned this point, and only then comforted Mrs. Bian back.
At this time, in the courtyard, only Cao Cao and their master and apprentice were left.
Cao Cao gently touched the child's face, afraid of disturbing him, so he planned to leave.
He turned around and inadvertently found that the woman beside Hua Tuo was actually teary-stained.
She's just a medicine girl, why is she crying?
