Chapter 153
Xue House.
Cen Lijin walked quickly towards Xue's mansion, the closer he got to Xue's mansion, the more difficult it was for him to calm down, and when he finally arrived at Xue's mansion out of breath, he stopped in front of the door, calmed down a little, and walked in pretending to be calm.
Butler Zhang happened to send the doctor out, and ran into Cen Lijin head-on.
Steward Zhang looked a little bit murderous, Cen Lijin was frightened for a moment when he saw him at first glance, and the next moment he said anxiously: "Is uncle in the mansion?"
Steward Zhang has been in the Xue family for many years, so he has naturally met Cen Lijin.He lowered his head and hurriedly saluted: "The general is inside, but..."
"I have something urgent!" Saying that, Cen Lijin entered the mansion with his attendants.
Seeing this, Steward Zhang had no choice but to follow in, and hurriedly sent his servants to inform the general, then walked up to Cen Li and said, "The third prince will follow the younger one to the front hall and wait."
Cen Lijin nodded, and could see that Xue Changfeng might be inconvenient, so he had no choice but to sit in the front hall and wait obediently as Butler Zhang said.
He was a little restless, but he couldn't make it too obvious, so he kept looking around.
After about a cup of tea, Xue Changfeng came late from the backyard, and he was not the only one. Fu Yang beside him was walking towards the front hall with him holding his hand.
Cen Li saw Fu Yang from a long distance away, and immediately put away his nervous expression.If it's only in front of Xue Changfeng, it doesn't matter if he looks flustered, but if there are other people around, as a prince, he must keep calm at all times.
"Nearer." Xue Changfeng looked at him wearing the armor of the Imperial Guard, and asked with a frown, "Why are you dressed like this?"
"Uncle, something happened in the palace." As Cen Lijin said, he glanced at Fu Yang, implying that Xue Changfeng had something personal to say.But Fu Yang instantly understood what Cen Lijin meant.She unhurriedly helped Xue Changfeng walk to the main seat and sat down, then said: "Call me if you have anything to do, I will go to the yard for a stroll."
"Okay." Xue Changfeng gently held her hand, then let go of it for a moment, staring at Fu Yang's back intently.
When Cen Lijin saw Fu Yang leave, his previous calm disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle, the emperor suddenly grounded the mother and concubine, and also sealed the palace gate to prevent the prince from entering or leaving. Don't dress up like this!"
If it were the old days, when Cen Li met Xue Changfeng recently, he would have been able to tell at a glance that Xue Changfeng was not in good spirits or in good health, but now he is preoccupied with this matter and has no time to care about Xue Changfeng's state.
Xue Changfeng looked serious when he heard the words, and wanted to speak, but coughed.Butler Zhang immediately handed over tea, and Xue Changfeng would feel better after drinking it, and said, "Why so suddenly?"
Cen Li thought for a while, and said: "I was also there when the palace was locked up, and Eunuch Mu also mentioned Imperial Physician Xu, saying that Imperial Physician Xu had committed suicide in fear of crime... But is Imperial Physician Xu related to Concubine Mother?"
As soon as this remark came out, Xue Changfeng immediately understood what was going on.
In order to allow him enough time to deal with Shang Xu, Xue Jin and Imperial Physician Xu teamed up to poison the emperor.But Xue Jin has always been very measured in his actions. At best, he made the emperor seriously ill. It has been two months now, how could the emperor suddenly attack him?
Seeing that Xue Changfeng didn't speak, Cen Lijin became even more anxious, thinking that the matter was extremely difficult: "Uncle, how can we solve the plight of the mother and concubine now..."
"Calm down first." Xue Changfeng said in a deep voice, "Since the emperor didn't vent his anger on you, it's fine to leave this matter to uncle, and do what you should do well... Your health is getting worse and worse, you should go to the imperial court more often." serve."
Hearing this, Cen Lijin thought for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "Li Jin understands."
"It's really inappropriate for you to come out of the palace to find me, go back as soon as possible, don't be discovered."
"Then Li Jin will go back immediately." As Cen Lijin said, he quickly got up and bowed to Xue Changfeng, "Mother and concubine, please trouble my uncle to take care of me!"
"Go back quickly."
As soon as Cen Lijin left, Xue Changfeng couldn't straighten up, and instantly leaned back on the back of the chair to make himself more comfortable.Fu Yang was in the front yard. Seeing Cen Li come out, she immediately went to the front hall, and saw Xue Changfeng slumped on the chair with a pale face.
"Changfeng!" She exclaimed, walking in three steps and then two steps, and rushed to Xue Changfeng, looking at him anxiously.
Xue Changfeng smiled at her reluctantly, obviously sweating on his forehead, obviously very uncomfortable.Fu Yang quickly waved to Steward Zhang and said, "Come and help me, take the general to the house to rest!"
"Yes!"
Then the two worked together to move Xue Changfeng back to the bedroom, Fu Yang tucked him in the quilt, and hurriedly said to Steward Zhang: "The doctor came to prescribe the prescription earlier, go get the medicine and come back to make the medicine for the general."
"I'll go right away!"
Steward Zhang went out of the house, Fu Yang held Xue Changfeng's hand and said, "I'll get you something to eat, you rest for a while." She was going to let go, but she didn't expect Xue Changfeng to grab her backhand .
Obviously already sweating profusely from the pain, he still tried very hard to make his expression not look so haggard.Xue Changfeng held Fu Yang's hand tightly and said, "No, just stay with me."
Fu Yang looked at his appearance, his eyes were a little sore: "It's not a young age anymore, don't be self-willed."
"If I had been wayward before, how could I have missed you for so long..."
Fu Yang struggled a few times, but after all, Xue Changfeng was a man who led troops to fight all the year round, even though he was so unwell, he still had great strength.In desperation, she simply sat on the edge of the couch and said angrily: "Can you spare your life?"
"No."
"If your adopted son sees you like this, he might laugh at you."
"It doesn't matter."
Fu Yang stretched out his other hand and wiped the fine sweat from Xue Changfeng's forehead with his sleeve.
Xue Changfeng closed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Actually, I understand that if I hadn't died soon, you wouldn't have stayed."
"Don't think about it, just concentrate on taking care of your body." Fu Yang flicked him on the forehead, as if punishing Xue Changfeng for his unrestrained speech.
What happened more than 20 years ago seems to have passed for a long time, but it seems to be yesterday, and it is still vivid in my mind.
The two were silent for a while, and Fu Yang just leaned beside her, letting Xue Changfeng hold her hand.
In fact, the original misunderstanding has not been solved until now, but no one has mentioned it.
Going back to sort out the memories at the beginning, Xue Changfeng and Fu Yang were in love with each other.They and Wei Yuanting, the three of them, used to be inseparable, each holding their own thoughts, waiting for someone to expose them.but the first to be brave
The person who burst into anger was Wei Yuanting.
Wei Yuanting already had a family at that time, and Fu Yang was very high-minded, so he definitely couldn't be someone else's concubine.Later, by accident, after Fu Yang and Wei Yuanting got drunk, they became husband and wife first and had Wei Lin.
Later, Fu Yang disappeared, and no one knew where Fu Yang had gone. Xue Changfeng and Wei Yuanting had a big fight, and they were at odds ever since.
More than half an hour later, Steward Zhang entered the room with the freshly brewed medicine.Fu Yang immediately jumped off the couch, took the medicine bowl and said, "Steward Zhang, help the general get up."
Butler Zhang did as he said, and Fu Yang took a small spoon, blew it cold one by one, brought it to Xue Changfeng's mouth, and fed it.After drinking a bowl of medicine, Xue Changfeng lay down on the meeting couch again. Butler Zhang was about to go out so as not to disturb the two of them getting along, but Xue Changfeng stopped him.
"Butler Zhang."
"General."
"Is Min Qiu still in the capital?"
Steward Zhang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, staying in the garrison on the outskirts of the city."
"You..." Xue Changfeng said, a little weak, and then continued after a pause, "Immediately draft the document, let Qin'er lead 5000 people back to the capital, and let Min Qiu send them there quickly, just station the troops on the outskirts of the city. Bigger."
"Yes."
"Go down."
Seeing the weak appearance, Fu Yang couldn't help feeling sad.Thinking back to Xue Changfeng on the battlefield back then, he looked like a great hero.Looking at it now, I can't help admiring that time is ruthless.
"Don't worry about it." Fu Yang complained, "Forget it, I know it's impossible for you to ignore your precious sister."
"Yang'er, do something for me."
"You said."
"Bring Princess Yun back to the mansion, it will come in handy at that time." Xue Changfeng said, coughing again.
Fu Yang hurriedly helped him out: "You take a good rest, I will take care of it."
"Then you stay here and don't go."
"it is good."
……
In the autumn of another year, Xue Ziqin squatted at the door of the general's tent, roasting the pheasant he had just hunted boredly, a little bit lacking in interest.Seeing that the weather was going to start to get cold again, he felt a little apprehensive.Now, only the smell of pheasant can make him feel a little better.
Since Guo Linchong's death, Min Qiu also went to Wangdu to do business, the barracks suddenly became quiet, everything was going on in an orderly manner, but Xue Ziqin felt extremely lonely.
Most of the work is done by Zhou Xiao, with Shan Mo's help, there is no major issue at the moment, Xue Ziqin is like a listed general, he only cares about inspections and barbecues all day long.
He was looking at the sky, holding the branch firmly in his hand, and turning it at a constant speed. The smell of the pheasant attracted many people to look at the general, but no one dared to take a bite.
Xue Ziqin was thinking about something on his own when Zhou Xiao came over suddenly.
"General."
"Yo, sit down." Xue Ziqin withdrew his gaze from the sky and landed on Zhou Xiao, "So you can choose a time, come and eat?"
Zhou Xiao waved his hands, and sat down without listening to his words, and said with a serious expression: "General, something happened."
"Oh?" Xue Ziqin guessed without waiting for him to finish, "Xishu is going to blow the autumn wind?"
"No, it's something else." Zhou Xiao said, "It's good news."
"Then you said it, the news is good enough and I'll give you a chicken leg." Xue Ziqin narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at Zhou Xiao with interest.
Zhou Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Deputy Min is here."
"what?"
"Deputy General Min has just arrived at the barracks, and is resting now," Zhou Xiao said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ziqin stood up with a "whoosh", and stuffed the branch with the pheasant in his hand directly into Zhou Xiao's hand.
He only heard Xue Ziqin say "The pheasant is yours", and then ran away without a trace.
Zhou Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, his cooking skills were not half as good as Xue Ziqin's.But the half-cooked pheasant was exuding a tempting aroma, so he had no choice but to go to the place where Xue Ziqin squatted just now to take over the job, and imitated the roast pheasant.
Min Qiu ran for eight days in a row, speeding up his horse and changing several horses at the post stations along the way, and only then did he feel the border at the fastest speed.He couldn't eat or sleep well during the journey, and he was so tired that he sat down against a tree as soon as he arrived at the barracks, gasping for breath.
The caring little soldier handed him water, and Min Qiu took small sips to slowly moisten his lungs that were almost on fire.Before he could fully recover, Xue Ziqin rushed over from a distance.
Min Qiu is also a little excited, after all, he and Xue Ziqin have been separated for more than two months, it's good not to see him, seeing Xue Ziqin's figure at this moment, really feels very missing.He hurriedly supported the tree to stand up, Xue Ziqin came to him in the blink of an eye, and hugged him: "You are back!!!"
Xue Ziqin exerted great force, and Min Qiu was really touched.Unexpectedly, his own general missed him so much. Just as he was about to speak, Xue Ziqin said again: "Do you know that I will go hunting myself for two months, I really miss you like crazy!"
"..." Min Qiu had nothing to say.
After hugging for a while, Xue Ziqin let go of his hand, patted Min Qiu's arm vigorously and said, "How is it, how is the situation?"
Min Qiu's anger was still not smooth, so he could only speak intermittently: "Concubine Jin has been grounded, and I don't know the reason. General, oh, the old general told the general to take 5000 troops to the capital immediately."
"Okay, I've been waiting for this day." Xue Ziqin's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were about to shine.
But not only because he was about to have something to do, but also because - he was going to see Cen Lixuan.
"The meaning over there is to make the movement louder." Min Qiu said again, picked up the water bottle and took a few more sips.
Xue Ziqin raised the corner of his mouth and let out a smirk: "It's exactly what I want, you go down to rest first, and leave with me tomorrow."
"Yes!" Min Qiu said loudly.
