Wishful Things
Chapter 474
When Xu Mingyi closed his eyes and opened them again, most of the fear in his eyes dissipated: "I dreamed of my grandfather -"
Ah Zhu said knowingly, "don''t worry, girl. The old man will come back safely."
Just like every time before.
Xu Mingyi nodded slightly, took the handkerchief handed by ah Zhu, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, stood up, walked to the window and opened two windows.
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the sound of frogs is faint. There is still the moist smell of rain in the air.
Ah Zhu took a alizarin blouse and put it on her girl.
After standing quietly by the window for a moment, Xu Mingyi suddenly thought of something. He turned to the dressing table and took out a yellow pear box from the foot cabinet.
The box is not decorated, but the original color and grain of wood. After opening, it is full of miscellaneous items——
There are exquisite short knives carved in wood, whistles made of animal bones, hand strings made of broken shells of various colors, and several stones with special shapes.
Xu Mingyi picked up one of the ink stones. The stone is smooth and has white lines on it. It looks like auspicious clouds.
These things were brought back by her grandfather from the battlefield. She was very impressed by this stone. Her grandfather said that this stone was very spiritual and helped him win an unexpectedly beautiful battle.
And Grandpa wanted to give her all his good luck
So the stone has been lying in her box.
Holding the cool ink stone, Xu Mingyi looked at the bright moonlight outside the window.
Early this morning, she received a letter sent back by Uncle Qin.
The letter said that everything was going well. When he first arrived in Dongyuan City, his grandfather used his troops rapidly. While setting up camp, he quietly sent a team of elite soldiers and horses to beat the Li nationality by surprise. Although it was only a small victory, he came up and threatened the Li nationality, which greatly demoralized the Li nationality''s morale.
The fifth uncle of Qin also specially told her about his grandfather''s physical condition. He only said that everything was as usual, and detailed that when he came back from training, he could eat five bowls of rice at one time, and fell asleep and snored loudly at night.
The letter also said that if things went smoothly, it would take only two months at the earliest to fight the Li people for peace again - grandfather had no intention of fighting, let alone occupying the Li territory. All he wanted was to stop the war as soon as possible. He weighed the pros and cons very clearly.
If there is a truce in two months, my grandfather may return to Beijing in more than three months
Look at the date on the letter. It was written ten days ago.
After reading such a letter, Xu Mingyi was supposed to feel much better, but he didn''t.
What she has been really worried about is not the war between her grandfather and the Li nationality
In particular, the extremely dangerous assassination encountered by his highness King Yan when he left Beijing is a living example for her.
The emperor''s fear of her grandfather is probably no less than that of King Yan.
Even without Zhan Yunzhu''s capricious words before she died, she didn''t believe that after her grandfather insisted on leading the troops in person, the dog emperor was really understanding.
Grandfather has the final say from the capital, and she is not afraid of the heavy application of the dog emperor''s old skills. What''s more, he will give his grandfather the crime of being more serious. He will be punished again after his grandfather returns to Beijing.
Now she is only worried about the safety of her grandfather in Dongyuan city at this moment.
She dreamed that there was a traitor around her grandfather and took advantage of his unprepared hand
Xu Mingyi''s eyes have been repeated several times. After calculation, ah Kui and them are only halfway now. It will take at least ten days to get there.
In the middle of the night, worried Xu Mingyi didn''t close his eyes again.
The next morning, after washing, she practiced archery for half an hour as usual.
After eating breakfast, Xu Mingyi changed his clothes and cleaned up. She wanted to go out to see Wu Cui. She needed to ask him about something.
However, as soon as she left the Xiyuan with her front foot, she heard a message from the servant, saying that someone had come from the palace and was in the front hall at this time.
Xu Mingyi asked about the intentions of these palace people. After explaining ah Zhu, he immediately went to the front yard.
In the front hall, there was indeed a line of palace people. Xu Jin went to the ritual Department early in the morning. Cui was the one to deal with these palace people at this time.
"Why did your father-in-law do this?"
The girl''s quiet voice of inquiry came into her ears. The eunuch, who was the first, looked up. The girl looked beautiful and unparalleled, but she walked and behaved with a distinctive air. The eunuch recognized such a person at one glance, so he raised his hand and saluted: "our family was ordered to invite Miss a Kui next to the girl to come to the palace to see her majesty..."
Cui looked at his daughter and said nothing different in his tone: "I''m going to ask someone to tell you, but I heard that a Kui was ill a few days ago?"
The Xu family always focus on one mind inside and outside. Cui naturally knows that ah Kui is not in the house. He not only knows, but also has already agreed with Xu Mingyi to deal with it.
Although it is not safe, at least two statements will not come out of the mouth of the family.
"Sick?" the internal supervisor was surprised and said, "I don''t know what the disease is? Is it serious?"
After a little hesitation, Xu Mingyi said in an honest tone: "in fact, it''s not a disease, but when he tried the medicine a few days ago, he accidentally used the wrong medicine. Under the impact of the medicine, he fainted on the spot and finally picked up his life."
The internal supervisor was secretly frightened.
Is there such a terrible thing?
If you give your Majesty the wrong medicine, or give him another good or bad medicine
The internal supervisor inevitably flinched, and the little girl in front of him didn''t say any nonsense. He just turned around and told the servant: "go and call ah Kui and let my father-in-law see if it''s suitable for entering the palace."
The servant answered "yes" and went immediately.
Not long after, ah Kui was helped over by a woman.
The internal supervisor looked at the weak servant girl and saw that she was covered with a veil, and there were red rashes of different sizes on her forehead exposed outside.
"This is..."
The servant girl opened her mouth and said in a weak voice, "go back to father-in-law. After the servant tested the medicine a few days ago, she had a strange rash. Now it''s hard to tell whether the rash can be passed on or not..."
The warden''s face changed.
Is it possible to pass on?
How can I see your majesty?
Well, don''t end up with a new disease instead of curing your Majesty''s own disease!
When the internal supervisor was about to open his mouth, the servant girl in his sight suddenly coughed. The servant girl turned sideways, put her hand under the veil and covered her mouth. After coughing for a while, when she took back the handkerchief, she held it tightly in her hand and hid it in her sleeve.
Even so, the sharp eyed inner prison still saw the blood stained on the handkerchief.
The warden''s face turned white.
This is basically the extent to which we can prepare for the future
"In that case, miss a Kui, you''d better keep healthy... Our family will explain the situation with your majesty." the internal supervisor said and wanted to leave.
However, at this time, the Xu girl on the side opened her mouth.
