Chapter 280: The Old Lady is Sick

Seeing that the prince was loose, Qian Zhong hit the snake with the stick, and then persuaded:

"Your Royal Highness knows very well that the life of Li Gongzi alone and the world is more important, Li Gongzi is kind to you, when His Royal Highness ascends the throne one day, you can posthumously crown Li Gongzi and add officials to the people of Yichun Hall to show it

Holy grace, Li Gongzi is the fatal shortcoming of His Royal Highness, keeping her is just a bane, Weichen begs His Highness to think of the common people in the world, and there must be no kindness of a woman! ”

After Qian Zhong finished speaking, seeing that the prince was silent, he said decisively:

"As the saying goes, those who achieve great things are not informal, since His Royal Highness can't bear to start, Weichen is willing to share his worries with his life, so he will lead the troops to go and personally explain the relationship to Li Gongzi, thinking that Li Gongzi

In order to accomplish the great cause of His Royal Highness, he will also judge himself. ”

Qian Zhong said, kowtowed again, got up and walked out. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the prince shout:

"Come back!"

"Your Highness!"

"Tell me to go down, after I leave, send additional guards to protect the safety of my second brother, and I must not let her fall into the hands of King Yan."

"Your Highness, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of ......"

"Tell the guards who protect the second brother, once they encounter King Yan, no matter what, they must not let the second brother fall into the hands of King Yan alive!"

Hearing this, Qian Zhong's expression was light, he answered, and hurriedly walked out.

Looking at Qian Zhong's disappearing figure, the prince rotated the wrench on his thumb and muttered to himself:

"Xi'er, give up on you, my liver and intestines are broken, but for the sake of the world, the important weapon of the country must not fall into the hands of traitors, Xi'er, you must protect yourself, in case you really have an accident, I will

Will avenge you. ”

The heavy snow overnight, so that the whole Luding Mountain was submerged in a piece of white, standing on the second floor of the small building of the sea, looking into the distance, it was really like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, looking at a group in the distance

The little girl was building a snowman, Mengxi was in a good mood, and turned to Zhiqiu and said:

"I can't imagine that it's almost April, and there is such a good snow, the snow is bright, the plum is fragrant everywhere, know the autumn, call the Zhichun them, let's go out to enjoy the snow together......"

After listening to the young lady's words, Zhiqiu ordered someone to call Zhichun and Zhidong, and on the other hand, he found a white fox fur hooded coat, and said while tying it up for Mengxi:

"Miss, after all, it's the prince, I sent someone here a few times, I'm worried about your safety, it's not good for us to always hide it like this."

"Tell him I'm back in Pingyang, and want him to put me under house arrest again? Wait until the dust settles on the dispute between him and King Yan. ”

"Miss, we have poisoned the prince's guards, and we have to give an explanation to the prince."

"There are no dead people on the left and right, don't be afraid, it's terrible to fall into the hands of the prince at this time...... The snow outside is so nice, let's get out quickly. ”

When it comes to the crown prince, Mengxi's heart is still faintly painful, the queen mother has died, but the prince still wants her to stay in the south, and justifiably sends additional guards to protect her. It's not Xiao Jun's arrangement, poisonous stun

Those guards, I'm afraid she is still under house arrest in Chuzhou.

She has always regarded him as a confidant, a friend who cares for each other, but she never thought that he would give up her for the world in the end, she is a little woman who doesn't understand the big truth, but she also understands that for the sake of the world

, the important weapon of the country, must not be entrusted to non-people.

When she was arrested by King Yan, she fought to die with King Yan and accomplish his great cause, at that time, she had always regarded him as a loving eldest brother, and later the two of them worked together to govern the rats in the south

The epidemic stabilized the situation in the south and walked the darkest road together, but just when he was about to see the light, he failed her.

Stepping on the snow under her feet, making a creaking sound, she gently picked up a handful, and watched the snow melt in her palm little by little, just like she was once melted by Xiao Jun's love regardless of return, and put her hand to her mouth

Gently, I don't know if he is okay in the distance, whether he has taken the medicine she gave on time, it has been almost two months since he came back, and he didn't give her a letter.

Did he really forget about her, once so hard in love.

Is there really no future for her and him? Ever since she discovered that she was inextricably in love with him, she often tormented in contradictions, and on that bright evening before returning to the north, she walked with him in the fields

On the trail.

At sunset, she wanted to tell him that she loved him too.

But facing his eyes that no longer contain affection, she flinched, once, she deeply hurt him and his family for the obsessive plan to leave the house, and now, the two people who Lao Yan flew apart have their own

Each business.

If it's modern, that's fine, but this is in ancient times, even if he is willing, can his family accept a person who has her own career, does not abide by the three obediences and four virtues, and is deviant, not to mention, there is

The barrier of the ancestors.

Since she knew that she couldn't give up her career and had already separated, how could she ask him to be infamous for being unfilial just because she loved him......

"Miss, don't be like this, you're weak, you'll catch a cold."

Seeing Mengxi playing with snow, Zhiqiu hurriedly stopped him, and warmed up by holding Mengxi's hand as he spoke.

Zhiqiu's words interrupted Mengxi's contemplation, pulled out his hand, and said with a smile:

"It's so delicate, by the way, yesterday Li Du sent someone to send a roe deer, and later instructed a person to go to the kitchen to spread the word, make some barbecue meat at noon to eat, seeing that it is April, it is rare to have such good snow,

It's the last snow, so swim in the yard in the morning, just in the middle of the day, eat some wine to warm up. ”

The warbler on the side listened, rubbed her hands and stomped her feet and smiled:

"That's right, there is snow in winter, everywhere is white, it makes people feel comfortable at a glance, which is like Chuzhou, not only is there nothing to see, but it is also wet and cold, and I feel that the cold energy is in my bones

If the young lady doesn't come back, the slave is afraid that she will freeze to death there. ”

Ying'er said, everyone laughed, Zhiqiu nodded her head and said:

"As long as you talk a lot, don't go to the word, remember to ask the kitchen with a few side dishes, warm some plum wine......"

Ying'er hurriedly answered, turned around and walked back.

"By the way, tell a girl to send the young lady's hand stove with charcoal!"

Hearing Ying'er answer from a distance, Zhichun pointed to the western hillside and said:

"Miss, look, the plum blossoms on the slope in front are blooming so well, we might as well go there and enjoy it, and pick some by the way."

Looking along Zhichun's hand, sure enough, there were a few cold plums standing proudly on the slope, reflecting the color of the snow, very enchanting, Mengxi saw it, he was extremely excited, nodded and said:

"As the saying goes, there is no snow without spirit, there is snow without plum vulgar people, it is really rare to have snow and plum today, go, let's go."

Everyone nodded their heads in response, and walked along a snow trail that had just been swept out of the hill. As he was walking, Zhidong, who was left behind, shouted:

"Miss, Mr. Li is chasing after him, as if something is wrong."

Mengxi looked back, only to see that Manager Li had hurriedly come to the front, and when he saw Mengxi standing, he hurriedly bowed and saluted and said:

"Miss is so interested, enjoy the snow here, it's easy to find a slave."

"What's the matter with Mr. Li?"

"Miss, Third Master Xiao is here, I want to see you."

Mengxi's eyes lit up, and he asked casually:

"Third master? How did he know here? ”

"The third master has been looking for you a few times, saying that the old lady of Xiao Mansion is sick, and I want you to take a look, the shopkeeper Li can't help but entangle, thinking that the second master is indeed kind to you, so he promised him, I wanted to send you a letter to Yichun

Tang saw him, but he thought that it was full of the eyes of the prince and the king of Yan, and he was afraid that once they found out that you were in Pingyang, they would not be at peace, so Ouyang Gongzi quietly brought him here. ”

"Does the third master have ......?"

Hearing that Xiao Yun was coming, Mengxi casually wanted to inquire about Xiao Jun's news, but stopped with one mouth and changed his words:

"Okay, you let him wait in the living room for a while, and I'll go back right away."

In the middle of Mengxi's small living room is a picture of Zhang Dezhong's three friends of the cold year, with a couplet on both sides.

Shanglian is: Tea can get drunk and why do you need wine

The next link is: The book has a fragrance and does not need to be flowered

On the left and right walls hang the calligraphy and painting of Xiao Jun, a cold-faced boy, a long few yellow rosewood in the middle, a chair on the left and right, four circle chairs on both sides, and a rosewood creek carved circle in the corner of the left and right walls

screen, Xiao Yun stood by the wall, watching the second sister-in-law hang the second brother's calligraphy and paintings all over the wall, with a smile on her face, the second sister-in-law still admired the second brother.

"I'm late, so I've kept the third master waiting."

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yun, who was admiring the calligraphy and painting, turned around, and saw Mengxi supporting Zhiqiu standing at the door.

"II...... Miss Li is fine, I took the liberty of coming and disturbing me. ”

Mengxi lightly blessed and returned the salute and said:

"The third master is polite, please sit down."

After a few words of greeting, the two sat down separately, Ouyang Di, who was accompanying him, also stepped forward to greet him, and the little maid had already served tea, Mengxi took a sip of tea, and sent the little maid out casually,

Only then did he put down the teacup and asked:

"The house has been fine recently, I heard that the old lady is sick, what kind of illness, didn't you look for Imperial Doctor Li to take a look?"

"Everything is fine in the house, grandma has been sick for almost two months, and she was tired at the beginning, my father and second uncle thought that grandma was depressed because of the decline of the Xiao family, so they found a few doctors and opened some Ning

The recipe for calming the mind, regulating qi and blood, and balancing yin and yang, who knows, within half a month, grandma began to be paralyzed in her limbs, and at first she had symptoms similar to that of her second brother two years ago, but she knew that a month ago, grandma's eyesight was open

It was not until a few days ago that my grandmother was completely invisible, and she couldn't get out of bed early, so I found Dr. Li, and after checking for a long time, I didn't see the cause of the disease, so my father asked me to ask Miss Li to go to the house

Let's take a look. ”

Although she had been wronged in the Xiao family, no matter what, the old lady was still kind to her, hearing this, Mengxi sat up straight and asked:

"The old lady has been sick for so long, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"We have never known the news of Miss Li's return to Pingyang."

"The second master didn't tell you?"

Hearing this, Mengxi was stunned and asked suspiciously, Xiao Yun replied with a debt:

"I think the second brother is afraid of leaking the news, and there is no mention of your affairs in the family letter, until more than 20 days ago, my grandmother was bedridden, and Mrs. Li asked you to try, and my father discussed with the second uncle, and quickly sent a message to the second brother

and asked him to beg you to return to Binh Duong...... I knew that you had already returned, and Miss Li's whereabouts were kept secret. ”

"Second Master...... Are you okay there? How's your body recovering? ”

Mengxi wanted to ask Xiao Jun if he had a letter to her, but when the words came to his lips and changed his mouth, Xiao Yun listened to it and said:

"The second brother asked me to tell you, saying that his body is recovering quickly, and he takes your medicine on time every day, so you don't have to worry, the second brother said that he wanted to write a letter to ask you to see your grandmother in person, but since you disappeared, Yan

The king and the crown prince are all looking for news of you, and on the way south, they have set up many checkpoints, not only merchants, but also letters and letters are strictly checked, for fear that the letters will be robbed and your news will be leaked

Oral message. ”

"The second master didn't say when he would return to Pingyang?"

"The south has just gone through floods and plagues, and it is a waste to be rebuilt, the second uncle and cousin have returned to Pingyang because of the lawsuit, and the eldest brother has been ordered to go back to work, and the second brother will support him alone, I am afraid that it will be the fastest

July and August. ”

Referring to the second master, Mengxi asked casually:

"The second master and the second wife are okay?"

"The second uncle was cut off, but he managed to save his life, they all lived in the house, Pingyang's business was closed, and the second uncle was okay and only accompanied his grandmother."

"That's it, the third master will go back first, I often have the prince's people come to inquire about the news, it's inconvenient to go to the Xiao Mansion with you, the third master is only ready to answer me, and I'll discuss with Ouyang Di how to go."

"Okay, Miss Li, don't worry, because of Zhang Xiu, except for the four big girls in Grandma's Shouxi Hall, the rest of the people have changed, you enter the house secretly and live directly in the Shouxi Hall, no one will recognize you."

Mengxi listened, nodded and said hello, and discussed the details with Xiao Yun again, and then sent Xiao Yun away, and prepared with Zhiqiu and Ouyang Di.
