Wishful Things

Xu Mingyi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, most of the fear in his eyes dissipated: "I dreamed about my grandfather—"

Ah Zhu said knowingly: "Miss, don't worry, the old man will definitely come back safely."

Like every time before.

Xu Mingyi nodded slightly, took the handkerchief from Azhu and wiped off the cold sweat on 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 can be heard faintly, and the damp smell of rain still lingers in the air.

Ah Zhu took a Qian-color smock and put it on her own girl.

After Xu Mingyi stood quietly by the window for a while, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and went to the dressing table, and took out a huanghuali box from the foot cabinet.

There is no decoration on the whole body of the box, but the original color and grain of the wood. After opening, the box is full of miscellaneous objects——

There are exquisite short knives carved in wood, whistles made of animal bones, bracelets made of broken shells of various colors, and several stones with special shapes.

Xu Mingyi picked up one of the black stones. The stone was smooth, with flowing white lines on it, which looked like auspicious clouds.

These things were brought back by my grandfather from the battlefield. She was very impressed with this stone. My grandfather said that this stone was quite spiritual and helped him win an unexpected and beautiful battle.

And the grandfather wants to give her all the good luck...

So this stone has been lying in her box.

Holding the slightly cool ink stone, Xu Mingyi looked out the window at the bright moonlight.

Early this morning, she received a letter sent back by Uncle Qin Wu.

The letter said that everything went well. When he first arrived in Dongyuan City, his grandfather deployed his troops quickly. While setting up camp, he quietly sent a group of elite soldiers to beat the Li people by surprise. This greatly dampened the morale of the Li clan.

Uncle Qin Wu also specifically told her about her grandfather's physical condition, saying that everything was as usual, and detailed that he could cook five bowls of rice at a time when he came back from military training, and fell asleep at night and snored loudly.

The letter also said that if things go well, it will only take two months at the earliest for the Lizu to seek peace again--grandfather has no intention of fighting, let alone occupying the territory of the Lizu, all he wants is to let the war To stop as soon as possible, he weighed the pros and cons very clearly.

If the truce is really two months away, then grandfather may return to Beijing in just over three months...

Looking at the date on the letter, it was written ten days ago.

After reading such a letter, Xu Mingyi should feel at ease, but he didn't.

What she has been really worried about is not the battle between her grandfather and the Li family...

Especially the extremely dangerous assassination that His Highness King Yan encountered when he left Beijing was a living example for her.

The Emperor feared her grandfather no less than he feared King Yan.

Even without Zhan Yunzhu's capricious words before his death, she still didn't believe that after her grandfather insisted on personally leading the army, the dog emperor would really understand and have no grievances.

Grandfather is far away from the capital at this time, and she is not afraid that the dog emperor will repeat his old tricks and charge grandfather with some terrible crimes. No matter how serious the crime is, it will take grandfather to return to Beijing before he can deal with it. The dog emperor has the final say.

Now she is only worried about the safety of her grandfather in Dongyuan City at this moment.

She dreamed that a traitor appeared beside her grandfather, and when her grandfather was unaware, she did it...

Xu Mingyi's eyes repeated several times, and after calculation, Ah Kui and the others were only halfway there, and it would take at least ten days to arrive.

In the second half of the night, the preoccupied Xu Mingyi never closed his eyes again.

Early the next morning, after washing, she practiced archery for half an hour as usual.

After eating breakfast, Xu Mingyi changed his clothes and tidied up, and wanted to go out to see Wu Chao, there was something she needed to ask him.

But as soon as she stepped out of Xiyuan, she heard a message from a servant, saying that someone from the palace came, and she was in the front hall at this time.

Xu Mingyi asked these palace people why they came, and after telling Ah Zhu a word, he immediately went to the front yard.

In the front hall, there was indeed a group of palace people. Xu Jin went to the Ministry of Rites early in the morning. At this time, it was Cui Shi who was dealing with these palace people.

"I don't know why you father-in-law did this?"

The girl's calm questioning voice came to the ears, and the leading eunuch looked up. The girl was unparalleled in appearance, but she walked with a distinctive sassy air. The eunuch recognized such a character at a glance When he came out, he raised his hand and saluted, "Our family is ordered to come here today to invite Miss Akui, who is next to Miss Xu, to come to the palace for a consultation for His Majesty..."

Cui who was on the side looked at her daughter, and there was nothing strange in her tone: "I was about to send someone to tell you, but I heard that Ah Kui fell ill a few days ago?"

The Xu family has always insisted on being united inside and outside when doing things. Cui's family is naturally aware of Akui's absence from the mansion. Not only is she clear, but she has already agreed with Xu Mingyi on how to deal with it.

Although it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof, at least two kinds of opinions will not come out of the mouth of the family.

"Ill?" The inner supervisor said in surprise, "I don't know what kind of illness it is? Is it serious?"

After Xu Mingyi hesitated for a while, he said in an honest tone: "Actually, it's not a disease, but a few days ago when I was testing the medicine, I accidentally used the wrong medicine, and the medicine's properties conflicted, and I passed out on the spot. , It was not easy to save a life."

The internal monitor was secretly startled.

There is such a terrible thing?

If this is the wrong medicine for His Majesty, or if there is something good or bad for the doctor...

The inner eunuch inevitably flinched, but the little girl in front of him didn't say anything nonsense, she just turned her head and ordered the servants: "Go and call Ah Kui over, and let Eunuch see if he is suitable for entering the palace."

The servant answered "Yes" and went immediately.

Not long after, 'Ah Kui' was helped over by a woman.

The inner eunuch looked at the weak servant girl, only to see that she was covered with a veil, and there were red rashes of different sizes on her exposed forehead.

"This is……"

The servant girl spoke in a feeble voice, "Back to Eunuch, after testing the medicine a few days ago, this maid developed a strange rash on her body, and now this rash is hard to pass on..."

The face of the internal monitor changed.

There is also the possibility of inheritance?

How can this go to see His Majesty?

Well, don't end up with His Majesty's own illness not being cured, but adding a new disease!

When the inner eunuch was about to speak, the servant girl in sight suddenly coughed. The servant girl turned sideways and put her hand holding the veil under the veil to cover her mouth. After coughing like this for a while, she took the veil back At that time, he held it tightly in his hand and hid it in his sleeve.

Even so, the sharp-eyed inner eunuch still saw blood stains on the veil.

The eunuch's face turned pale.

This is basically the level where you can prepare for the funeral...

"Since that's the case, Miss Ah Kui should take care of herself... Our family will explain the situation to His Majesty." After the inner eunuch finished speaking, he wanted to leave.

However, at this time, the girl from the Xu family who was on the side spoke.

Good evening, everybody
