Chapter 6: The Fourth Birthday
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. A year ago, Fusang launched a war and plundered the land of Dahua, and Shi Ting was ordered to go out to fight against the Fusang army. Three months ago, news came that Fuso had withdrawn its troops, and according to the progress, the army would be triumphant in a few days.
Xuzhou Continent, as the name suggests, is a piece of continent in the water. There are five large countries in the continent of Zhuzhou, the most mysterious is undoubtedly the Haiyun country overseas, the most extensive territory and the most densely populated country is Huaguo, the most prosperous is the domain country, and then the money bag Li country and the most beautiful scenery Fusang country.
Haiyun Kingdom is overseas, rarely participates in inland battles, and the domain country does not like war, and is focused on its own development. On the contrary, the weakest countries of Li and Fusang often united to plunder the land of China. It's okay if you don't have any skills, it's a hundred to destroy the country at one time, but people really have some ability, and they can't fight to death, so they will continue to come after a few years of rest. Burning, killing and looting is really more annoying than the northern barbarians.
This time, Fuso made a comeback and fought with the Chinese army for a whole year. Although the division has now returned to the dynasty, Fusang has also suffered heavy casualties, but Huaguo has not received any benefits. Because, a month ago, the front line sent back thousands of soldiers, including Lian Jian Ting, who were highly poisonous in southern Xinjiang, or Gu poison.
On this day, Shi Yuqi's fourth birthday, only Shi Yuqi's prime minister's uncle Shi Qing's family was invited.
"Daddy said he would be back on my birthday!" Shi Yuqi sighed, and didn't have the heart to argue with the other children, sitting alone on the side, but his eyes were looking out of the door.
"Cousin, don't wait, maybe the second uncle won't come back?" Shi Ruoyan pinched her handkerchief, the jealousy and ridicule in her eyes were about to overflow, and there was no innocence that a five-year-old child should have.
Shi Yuqi didn't want to pay attention to a little kid at all, and lost his face.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and Shi Yuqi, who had never relaxed in the past three years, naturally noticed it, but she didn't expect Xiang Wanyi to also notice it. For a long time, Xiang Wanyi in her eyes is a boudoir woman who knows some fist and foot kung fu.
"Daddy......" "Madame! Oh no! The general is gone!" The man came in crying, and when he opened his mouth, he blew up a group of happy people.
"Dog minion! What nonsense are you talking about! Shi Yuqi jumped up and shouted. In my heart, I also understand that this person doesn't dare to talk nonsense on a day like today, and he is secretly uneasy.
Xiang Wanyi slumped into his chair in disbelief and spurted out a mouthful of blood. The ladies around them stood up in panic, and the maids poured tea at a loss.
"Mother!" Shi Yuqi ran in quickly, his immature peach blossom eyes glared, and his body exuded three points of anger and three points of murderous energy, "If anything happens to my mother, Miss Ben will bury you with you!" What are you doing in a daze! Don't go to the doctor yet! Waiting for Miss Ben to invite you to go! ”
The minions didn't dare to say anything, and ran towards the residence of the court doctor.
……
At this time, there was also chaos in the imperial study of the palace. Ten generals headed by Shi Ting, 4,372 soldiers were all poisoned and died, and one of the commanders who survived was kneeling under the emperor's table, and some ministers stood next to him, all of whom stood in place without saying a word.
"Emperor Qiqi, Fusang colluded with the barbarians in southern Xinjiang and poisoned the army, and General Shi found out in time to curb the situation from continuing to be serious. However, General Shi was deeply poisoned...... Weichen is incompetent, please punish the saint! ”
"Ridiculous! 200,000 troops, not a single one found out that the enemy army was poisoning our army! Check it out to me! Check it out! I want to see if it is the barbarians in southern Xinjiang who have grown wings or someone who has dereliction of duty and colluded with the enemy country to frame Zhongliang!" Emperor Vantage was furious and directly smashed the inkstone on the table.
……
"Returning to Miss, Mrs. is in a hurry, and because of the injury in her early years, she is now sick to the bone marrow, I am afraid that it will be ...... There is nothing the grass people can do about it. Miss ...... earlier, "Let's prepare for the future." The house doctor sighed heavily, shook his head, and got up to pack the medicine box.
"Quacks! What's the use of raising you! Shi Yuqi was so anxious that tears welled up, and he raised his hand to smash the teacup in his hand.
"Let's all go down." Xiang Wanyi's face was pale, she grabbed Shi Yuqi, who was about to collapse, and sat up with her hand holding the ring, "Xiaoxiao, my mother has something to say to you." ”
"Mother, I'll go and ask you for a doctor, I'll listen to you for everything! Mother, let's treat the disease first, okay!" Shi Yuqi wanted to break away from Xiang Wanyi's hand, but he was afraid of hurting Xiang Wanyi, so he didn't dare to move after all.
When there were only two people left in the room, Xiang Wanyi sighed, "Xiaoxiao, mother, this is not a disease, it is a poison." ”
Shi Yuqi's eyes flashed, "Mother, what did you say?" Shi Yuqi's hand pinched Xiang Wanyi's wrist, and let go in frustration. Poisoned into the bone marrow, the medicine stone has no cure, "how can it be ......"
"Before, did you study the things that my mother gave you?" Xiang Wanyi couldn't help but gasp, and every word she said took too much effort.
Shi Yuqi helped Xiang Wanyi to lie down, nodded with red eyes, "I didn't tell my father." When she was two years old, Xiang Wanyi began to teach her all kinds of things, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and female red medicine. Fortunately, she had touched these things more or less in her previous life, and she didn't learn them stumblingly, and her progress was slow.
Xiang Wanyi smiled palely, and reluctantly stroked her daughter's little face, "Mother is going to accompany your father, the little one has to be good and try to live." ”
Shi Yuqi's tears suddenly flowed down, crying: "Mother, you tell me who poisoned you, and I will avenge you." ”
"Good boy, don't take revenge, live well, you ...... I can't fight them. Xiang Wanyi's face suddenly became a little bloody, Shi Yuqi knew that this was a return to light, and knelt down by the bed, "Mother, we don't want Daddy, okay, I'll listen to you in the future!"
Xiang Wanyi blinked vigorously and wiped away the tears in his eyes, "Silly boy, get up quickly!" Mother promised your father that he would live and die with you. Mother I'm sorry for you, I'll ...... in the future You have to take care of ...... Yourself, all things...... No...... Show off...... Qiang ......" Xiang Wanyi looked at Shi Yuqi, as if she wanted to carve her appearance, but her eyes became more and more blurred, and finally turned into darkness.
"Mother!" Shi Yuqi's eyes were blurred with tears, he buried his face in Xiang Wanyi's palm, and smiled self-deprecatingly. My mother was poisoned for two years in a row, and she didn't even realize it!
Overnight, the general's mansion hung up white flags, and the happy event turned into a funeral. Xiang Wanyi's personal maid is gone, Xiang Wanyi's small kitchen manager and spoon are gone, and it seems that all the people who may be related to Xiang Wanyi's poisoning are gone, as if it was predicted in advance......
Shi Yuqi was furious, and killed a few spies who had been planted in the mansion by others, but the notoriety of being hard-hearted and cold-blooded was also spread. Many people secretly said that Shi Yuqike had killed his parents, otherwise why did the famous God of War suddenly die in the hands of Fusang Kingdom, which has never been a powerful country, and his mother died on the same day?
