281 October (and updates.)
After that day, Xiangxiang's long-term absence of the symptoms of joy returned, it was difficult to sleep and eat every day, I couldn't hear the sound or smell, except for the strong spirit to worry about some things for the queen, the rest of the time was wilted and recuperated in bed. Three or two days still did not get better, the queen felt that she was preoccupied, but she couldn't say what was going on, and they didn't know that at this moment the news of the victory at the front was rushing to the capital.
But although the news was sent to the capital, the army did not plan to return, the local victims were innumerable, and the nearby towns were affected, Shifeng withdrew part of the troops and sent them back to the garrisons of all parties to continue to guard the country, and the defense line was also laid here and did not dare to take it lightly, and other soldiers were on the spot to provide disaster relief, repairing houses for the people, and the news that the news back to the capital also said that the large army would not be able to return to Beijing until ten days and half a month.
Four days have passed in the blink of an eye, on this day, Mu Yin rode his horse down the mountain, there are still uncollected enemy corpses everywhere, after the days of siege, the days of the siege have experienced these days of peace, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the corpses are rotting and the vultures are eaten, and the unpleasant smell is endlessly desolate.
Wei Meng followed behind Mu Yin, the two stopped their horses under a big tree, Wei Meng took the young lady's horse and tied it to the side, took the wine pot and incense from his mount, lit the incense bunch and inserted it on a dirt bag, Mu Yin sprinkled some wine on the ground, thought for a long time with a solemn expression, and was silent.
"Miss, let's go, the sun will be scorching at noon." Wei Meng reminded.
"I didn't wait for the first seven to come, did you say he received the incense?" Mu Yin said in a deep voice, "But he went to hell, and probably he didn't deserve to receive incense." ”
"The villain understands that after all, it is your uncle, and you must feel uncomfortable when you slash your relatives. But think of your father and brother, who will be staring at each other under the Nine Springs. Wei Meng persuaded while going to bring the horses here, Mu Yin's heart calmed down a little, and when the two walked back, they passed by the place where Pang Qianyou was held hostage that day, and a pool of dried blood on the ground attracted countless insects and ants, making people nauseous.
"Why is this happening?" Mu Yin turned over the horse with tears and hatred, and whipped away.
They no longer live in the camp, but enter the city, the city is full of thriving revival scenes, the people who fled know that they have returned from victory, and those people who are trapped in the city, there are also lucky not to starve to death, Pang Shifeng and Mu Qing are busy redeploying the border defense line and relieving the victims all day long, Mu Yin can't see them, Xi Niang can't see them, everyone is crazy, they haven't talked well for four days.
When Mu Yin came back, she saw Xi Niang holding the medicine, and she asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to give Pang Qianyou?" ”
Xi Niang nodded: "The doctor said that it is possible to recover only if you take medicine on time, after all, she is a big living person, and I always hope that she is well." ”
Mu Yin snorted coldly, full of hatred: "It's good that this kind of person is dead, she has never done a good thing if she causes trouble everywhere." ”
Xi Niang comforted: "Forget it, sister, she is a fool now, just treat her as a child, be more tolerant." ”
Mu Yin gritted her teeth and said, "Then can she pay for her life, can she?" ”
"Sister......" Xi Niang saw Mu Yin running away, and said to Wei Meng with a heavy heart, "Follow her, I don't know much about this child, in short, don't let her have an accident." ”
Wei Meng led the order and followed, Xi Niang entered the room with the medicine, Pang Qianyou, who was cleanly dressed, was sitting cross-legged under the window, and grinned when she saw Xi Niang: "She ran away, that person ran away." ”
Xi Niang said gently: "It's time to take medicine, come." ”
Probably afraid that the decoction would be too bitter, he curled up and covered his face and said, "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, I won't take medicine." ”
Xi Niang picked up the rattle on the side, knocked it out, and handed it to Qianyou: "You take medicine obediently, after taking the medicine, we will go outside to fight butterflies, there are so many butterflies flying." ”
Qianyou shook the rattle happily like a child, frowned and followed Xi Niang to take medicine one by one, wiped her mouth after eating, and pestered to go outside the door, but she didn't wear her own shoes, and when Xi Niang was dressed, she jumped up and ran out, and she would not be afraid to see the guards walking by outside, and said to people with a smile: "I'm going to flutter butterflies, go to flutter butterflies, do you want to go?" ”
A woman who looks like an adult, but behaves like a five or six-year-old child, ordinary people will feel terrible when they see it, but Miss Pang was rescued covered in blood, and when she woke up the next day, she became like this.
It's good for the person who takes care of her to no longer yell and go crazy when she sees a man like before, so stupid like a child, she laughs every day and is happy when she is coaxed, but maybe for the rest of her life, she will never "grow up".
On this side, Mu Yin ran all the way to her cousin's room, the strong smell of medicine in the room made people cough, the military doctor had never left here, and when she saw Mu Yin pushing the door in, she hurriedly waved her hand: "Miss Mu, have you washed your hands, where did this dress come from?" ”
The house was as cold as an ice cellar, and there was indeed a lot of ice, the military doctor said that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the wound was easy to infect, Shifeng sent people to various nearby towns to ask to find it, and sure enough, there were officials and private people who stored ice in the cellar to prepare for the summer, and they brought ice cubes as much as possible, so that Qi Hui's house was refreshing and clean, and the military doctor did not allow anyone to enter casually, Mu Yin could only retreat and look at Qi Hui on the couch through the window.
"Miss, the military doctor said that the prince is recovering, don't worry too much." Wei Meng persuaded.
"But he hasn't woken up yet, it's been four days, even if his body is completely well, if he doesn't wake up and becomes a living dead for the rest of his life, what will his sister-in-law do?" Mu Yin had tears in her eyes and blamed herself, "Why didn't I see him injured, if I had saved him earlier, I wouldn't have shed so much blood, and I wouldn't have shed so much blood......"
Wei Meng also blamed himself, they patronized and killed the enemy, and they didn't realize that the prince was hit by the bow and crossbow, and the bow and crossbow hit the left shoulder of the prince, which seemed to be not harmful, but the military doctor said that the injury was in the big blood, so the blood flowed like an infusion, and it was a miracle to be able to pick up a life and persist until now, whether he could wake up or not depends on the will of God.
"If he can't wake up, what will my sister-in-law do?" Mu Yin bit her lip tightly, she knew that Jian Feng would also be sad, if Jian Feng knew that she couldn't save her cousin in time, even if he didn't hate himself, he would definitely not be able to forgive her.
In the capital, Xiangxiang and the queen met with several foreign envoys in the afternoon, those envoys heard that the queen and the princess received them, they felt neglected or even disdainful, but after talking with the queen and Xiangxiang, they were all satisfied, they also knew what was happening to the imperial family now, and wanted to come to explore the situation, but they didn't expect the queen and the princess to be extraordinary, and they didn't feel the slightest possibility of taking the opportunity to fall into the court.
After seeing those people, Xiangxiang was tired, and he returned to the middle palace and vomited several times, and he vomited clean for breakfast and lunch, and the extremely tired people had to lie down in bed. I fell asleep in a daze, and dreamed of her husband in a dream, but how did she call Qi Hui's name, Qi Hui ignored her, Xiangxiang cried, woke up from the dream, the queen heard the movement and ran to ask her worriedly, Xiangxiang wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, shook her head and said, "I had a nightmare." ”
And at this moment, the news of the victory at the front line had just reached the palace gate, the entire palace was lively, and the middle palace also quickly got the news, the queen couldn't wait to pull Xiangxiang around to celebrate, but Xiangxiang realized that since it was the news sent from the front, why didn't Qi Hui bring a letter to her, if the news came from the border these days, he would ask Jian Feng to send a letter, even if it was just the word cherish. But seeing that the queen was so happy, and seeing the palace people breathing a sigh of relief and smiling, she didn't say anything, that nightmare would not indicate anything, and her husband would definitely return.
The report of the battle spread throughout the palace, and the emperor in the Mingde Hall also heard about it, and he sneered and said to the chamberlain: "It's almost over, our days are almost over." ”
The chamberlain advised: "Your Majesty, don't be too pessimistic, maybe everything will turn around." ”
The emperor was speechless, and after a long time, he suddenly asked, "How is Song Jingshu?" ”
The servant shook his head and said, "The servant doesn't know, why don't the servants inquire for you?" ”
And when they went to the Longevity Palace to inquire about the situation of the concubine, the soft sedan chair in the middle palace was parked there, and the people of the Mingde Hall should not approach, so they asked the palace people in front of the door, only to know that the concubine Jing was seriously ill, and she had just fainted for a while, and the imperial doctor felt that she was powerless to return to heaven, so she invited the queen and the princess.
In the dormitory of the Longevity Palace, Jing Shu breathed a sigh of relief, she was so thin that she was skinny, and she no longer had the face of the country and the city, like a person waiting for death, and even her expression was quiet.
Xiangxiang looked at her by the bed, stretched out his hand to warm Jingshu's cold hand, Jingshu felt it, raised her eyes slightly, and sneered: "Are you giving me charity?" Do you think that I care so much now that I would still believe that it is because of us or sisters? ”
Xiangxiang didn't say anything, and directly called the imperial doctor to see her, and the palace maid brought the medicine to the concubine, the smell made Xiangxiang nauseous, and couldn't help retching on the side, several palace maids surrounded her, trying to persuade her to go somewhere to breathe, but Xiangxiang still stayed.
Jingshu was at the mercy of others and poured a bowl of medicine, but her eyes kept staring at Xiangxiang, even if she was blocked by the palace maid, she didn't move away, until she took the medicine and Xiangxiang returned to the front, she suddenly asked, "Is it uncomfortable?" Is retching uncomfortable? ”
"It's uncomfortable, I'm going crazy." Xiangxiang responded, "My stomach is also fighting, my waist is thick, my face is round, I am so easy to keep slim, it's all gone." ”
"How long will it take to give birth?" Jingshu asked.
Xiangxiang looked down at his stomach and said, "The imperial doctor said that it was about October, what's wrong?" ”
Song Jingshu took a long breath, stared at Xiangxiang's stomach, and said, "It's been too long, it won't be born until October, can it be faster, faster." ”
Xiangxiang frowned slightly, but listened to Jingshu say, "I'm afraid I won't live to October." ”
