Chapter 8 Chapter VII

Hongsheng hesitated at the gate of the garden of the Jiangning chief envoy's office for at least two quarters of an hour. Take a half step, take a step back, turn around a few times on the spot, then take a half step with another foot, take another step back, and repeat the movement in circles. After dozens of times, even the guards on both sides feel a little dizzy Finally, he resolutely walked into the garden with a face full of determination to die, and he had already made plans that he would never have a chance to come out again. Step up the elegant corridor, pass through the Magnolia Courtyard, Begonia Courtyard and Huajian Hall, enter the quiet North Courtyard and come to the gate of Jingxuan. After a moment of hesitation, I resolutely opened the door and walked in. Er also just pushed open the bedroom door and came out.

Aunt Sixteen! Huh?Hongsheng, here you come! With a bitter face, I hesitated for a long time before I dared to come!Hongsheng cried and said, "Aunt Sixteen, Uncle Sixteen." He swallowed in horror.Did you say what to do with me? Man'er shook her head, beckoned for the maid to take the tray, gave some orders, and then turned back to the dormitory, followed by Hongsheng tremblingly. Aunt Sixteen? No, he has never been sober, so he didn't say anything. Never sober?hurt so badly?God, I'm doomed! Don't worry, it's not your fault, I'll tell him.Man'er patted his arm reassuringly.But if you are free, I would like to ask you to do me a favor.

What are you busy with? The doctor said that he would have a high fever for one or two days, which is a dangerous period, so he glanced worriedly into the inner room.I'm afraid that I can't take care of it alone, so I can rest assured that I will hand it over to the maid, so I come!I come!Hongsheng quickly took the trouble to himself.I'm coming with Aunt Sixteen!Even if the merits and demerits are balanced, Uncle Sixteen will at least keep him alive, right? Not only did Yinlu have a high fever for one or two days, but he was in a coma for seven days, moaning and talking, convulsing and convulsing, and coughing a few times so that he almost suffocated because the mountain drill didn't go to the mountain but came to penetrate his chest. A big hole was drilled out of the lung, which made everyone in a hurry and turned their backs.

On the eighth day, Yinlu's high fever finally subsided gradually, and on the tenth day, only a mild fever remained, while Man'er, Hongsheng, plus the doctor and four maidservants were exhausted, and the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry. Hongsheng, you can go to rest now. No, Aunt Sixteen, I can still support it, but you Man'er shook her head.No, I will not leave his side until he is sober. Hongsheng thought about it.Alright, then I'll go and get him a good night's sleep first. When Uncle Sixteen wakes up, I can replace Aunt Sixteen. Therefore, the doctor who began to appear in a trance finally got permission, and went home in a daze, hoping that he would not go to the wrong house and pick up the wrong wife. Hongsheng and the four maidservants could also lie on the bed and have a real sleep .

Man'er was naturally also very tired, but she knew that even if she really asked her to go to sleep, she would not be able to fall asleep, and before seeing his big eyes open again, she would not be able to die in peace. Sitting by the bed, staring at the almost haggard face, she swore to herself for the countless times. That's enough, she has paid off all the debts she owed to the Liu family, and she will no longer care about anything in the Liu family. Now, she only owes him, she owes his life, his kindness, and his love. I can't even pay it back! Picking up his warm hand and sticking it to her cold cheek, she murmured softly, Yinlu, wake up!I swear that I will never go against your will again, I will abide by the training of a woman who is married and obeys her husband, listen to you, follow your order, follow your order, even eh?She froze for a moment, then took off the hand that was on her cheek in doubt and looked at it for a long time.

She swears she did feel his fingers move just now. But no matter how long she stared at it, that hand still refused to shake even a hair. She sighed in disappointment. She put the hand back on her cheek, and looked at the person on the bed again, and was immediately pleasantly surprised. Trembling and weeping with ecstasy, the pale and haggard dimple was instantly covered with a blush of excitement and excitement. Yinyinyinyinlu, you're awake!You finally woke up! Those big childish eyes opened round again, although they were lifeless, they were clear and distinct, staring straight at her.

Hate it!Why don't you say a word!He choked up, and his eyes were filled with tears.People are scared to death, scared to death, worried to death, afraid to wipe away the tears, more tears will flow out again, afraid that you will suddenly lose your breath and leave me alone! The big eyes blinked, and the small cherry mouth that had lost its lip color squirmed slightly, but no sound came out. You can't leave me alone!Man'er continued to sob.Who else in this world will treat me well except you?Who else cares about me?Who else cares about me?Who else will protect me?Who else would live and die for me like you do?If you leave me alone, then I, I, and I will also go with you to argue in front of Lord Yama, and punish you for a crime of irresponsibility that has a beginning but no end, a chaotic beginning and an end to abandonment!

Wow!Actually put all the responsibility on others. The big eyes blinked twice, and the thumb on her cheek moved slightly, as if to wipe away her tears. I don't care, in short, you are not allowed to leave me alone, otherwise I will never end with you, and I will chase you to hell to settle accounts with you!Man'er swears firmly. This is called Ke Zun's female training to marry and obey her husband? Xiao Zui'er exhaled lightly, but there was still no sound, but her thumb was finally able to wipe away her tears, and the bursting tears stopped, but her gaze was even more moist.

Yinlu, I swear I will never cause trouble again!Man'er solemnly announced. A strange light flashed in the black pupils, and then they closed slowly. Who believes you! The argument of offsetting merits and demerits is not applicable to Yinlu. One month after the fierce battle at Xiaoling in the Ming Dynasty, Yinlu could not only sit up, but also curse. Although he was out of breath and coughed all the time, just looking at his face was enough to make him sick. I tell you to keep an eye on her. If you can't even do such a small thing well, what else can you do? trifle? ! That's a trivial matter?

That's obviously a life-threatening event! I am watching!Hongsheng sniffled and muttered pitifully.cocoa But a woman couldn't help coughing a few times before Yin Lu finished speaking.Let you forget the responsibility! Although the voice was cold enough, it had already lost its original flavor, which was why Hongsheng protested loudly for a while. She's not just a woman, she's a beauty. Finally noticing the murderous intent in those big cute eyes, he choked, and his neck shrunk even further.sorry. Yinlu snorted coldly, I don't accept it, you coughed again. OK!Yinlu, Man'er who was by the side of the bed looked at how pitiful Hongsheng was, and couldn't help but interject.In fact, I should be blamed for this matter, it is a bit pitiful for you to blame him like this!

That's right, that's right, it's obviously Aunt Sixteen's fault, Uncle Sixteen is reluctant to scold her, and shouldn't blame him for it! Hongsheng nodded desperately in agreement, almost echoing loudly, but in a blink of an eye, the gesture of nodding changed to shaking his head under the threat of those big eyes. It was my fault!It was my fault!Huh, who will tell him, why is it his fault? ah!Here comes the medicine, Yinlu, it's time for you to take the medicine, this is the end of the matter!Saying that, Man'er quickly brought the medicine bowl from the tray in Tabu's hand, and I asked them to add a little rock sugar!With one hand behind his back, he desperately hinted to Hongsheng to get out quickly. Seeing this, Hongsheng hurriedly slipped out from the direction Yinlu couldn't see, but there was only a window, so the dignified prince had to be a thief and climb the window once. Tabo pretended not to see it. On the third day after Yinlu woke up, Tabu and Uertai asked Man'er to be summoned to protect Yinlu with Yinlu's consent, and the reason why Yinlu agreed was because Hongsheng was a useless things, so he needs Tab to keep an eye on Man'er for him. Do you want to sleep a little longer?After Yinlu finished drinking the medicine, Man'er asked, no, Yinlu coughed lightly and glanced at Tabu, who immediately understood and turned around to fetch a wooden box and handed it to Yinlu.I want to see the official document sent by Jingli. Man'er opened his mouth, closed it again, angrily got up and took the medicine bowl to the table by the window and put it down heavily, muttering indistinctly, what are you doing!It's just a little bit, and he has to take care of so many things, does he think his body is made of iron? Yin Lu was about to say something when Wu Ertai came in. My lord, the governor of Liangjiang is asking to see you. Upon hearing this, Man'er immediately angrily and loudly refused, no see!not see!not see!Grandpa still has a lot, a lot, a lot of things to do!How can I have that free time to see that thing. Yinlu frowned, Man'er Man'er pouted.Well!Then I'll go see you for you, tell me in advance, and I'll tell you again.After speaking, she turned around and went out. Yinlu winked at Tabu, and the latter hurriedly followed Man'er out knowingly, while Wuertai closed the door, and then returned to the end of the bed to wait quietly, as if a big pine tree had been planted at the end of the bed. Urtai. yes sir Can't you sit down? As soon as she stepped into the Huajian Hall, Man'er cried out in surprise. Huh?Brother Cao? ! Little sister? !Cao Yuqi was even more surprised.why are you here And you?Man'er asked back. Uh, Cao Yuqi glanced at the tall and mighty man with a haughty expression and a goatee.I came here with the governor. That's it, Man'er suddenly nodded.Are you here to report the results of the treason arrest to Lord Sixteen? Yes. That's it, Man'er's eyes rolled around, and then he turned his head and told Tabu, Tabu, go and ask the master if he can take a moment to see the governor. yes.Taboo was ordered to leave. Cao Yuqi looked at Tabu's back strangely.Little sister, why are you here? me?Man'er giggled.I'm here to serve Master Sixteen. Ah, Cao Yuqi, if he understands.Does your husband work in the office of the chief envoy? Uh, Man'er blinked, barely counted!Then he glanced at the man who was always looking at the ceiling.Hello!Your governor seems very mean!She talked here for a long time, and that guy still couldn't recognize who she was. Even though she looked really embarrassed that day, the governor's arrogance was the biggest factor! Cao Yuqi gasped in surprise.Little girl, don't talk nonsense!He hurriedly glanced at the governor, and was relieved to see that the governor didn't seem to hear it.Little sister, think twice before you speak! Man'er smiled, and changed the subject again.Brother Cao, have you seen Lord Sixteen? Naturally, he had never seen it before, so Cao Yuqi shook his head.I'm just a boss, if I didn't rebel and just fled to the direction of the camp where I and the other two bosses were stationed, I wouldn't have the chance to report to Lord Sixteen. oh!Man'er looked at the two people standing respectfully behind the governor.So have you heard of him? Master Sixteen?Cao Yuqi thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: Not many, I just know that he is not yet thirty years old. Among all the princes, his status is quite special. He is obviously an idle brother, but it is like arresting a traitor. Important events have to obey his command and order, and the voice is even thinner.The governor seems to be very afraid of him! Hearing this, Man'er couldn't help laughing.Of course you have to be afraid. When he said this, he saw Tabu came back and asked: Ah!Tab, have you asked your grandfather?How did he say? Grandpa said no! Man'er couldn't help but froze in astonishment.Huh?Why?Didn't he plan to meet just now? I don't know, Grandpa didn't say. Eh? !Unable to understand it, Man'er had no choice but to grin at Cao Yuqi, and let it be considered a smile.Please wait, I'll go talk to him.Then he turned and walked away angrily. That guy, he didn't give her face so much! As soon as she entered the bedroom, Man'er saw Wu Ertai sitting upright by the window at a glance. She glanced at him in surprise, then turned to the bed, but saw Yinlu lying on his back, not looking at anything something. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she stretched out her hand to touch his cool forehead. Grandpa, are you sick? I'm tired.The very flat sound is so flat that it makes people feel hairy. Where is he upset? Man'er was a little puzzled.But didn't you want to meet the governor just now?how now I want to sleep. Could it be that there is something wrong with the bowl of medicine I just drank? They are here to report to you about arresting a traitor!It must be okay to say this, because he is most interested in this. I do not want to hear. yeah?Transgender? How can that be done! But they want Senior Brother Cao to meet you! I don't want to see you.Now it's not just flat, it's almost gloomy. Man'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.It turned out that you stopped, bit your lower lip and laughed silently, and then changed into another tone.However, if you don't let him see you, he will be very unconvinced!People have told him again and again, saying that I am really happy to marry you!But he just doesn't believe it, he always thinks how wronged I am to marry you! After a moment of silence, Yinlu finally turned around. Why? He rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, it was because of Hongsheng!He is twenty-seven years old, you are his uncle, think about how old people think you are?Man'er muttered.At least forty, right?But I'm less than twenty, saying I'm married to someone who is enough to be my old daddy help me up! Smiling, Man'er carefully helped him to sit up, and put several pillows behind him, ah!etc!He also asked Urtai to take down a robe for him to put on. Leaning on the pillow, Yinlu coughed several times, then closed his eyes tiredly and said: "Call them in!" yes sir!Maner responded excitedly, and then sent a message to Wuertai.Ultai, did you hear what the Lord said? After a while, Tabu and Urtai came in first to wait on both sides of the bed, only to see the governor who was always looking at the ceiling come in with three subordinates looking at the ground. I have seen Lord Sixteen before. That's all.Yinlu still closed his eyes, and his tone was even weaker.Have you seen Fujin? The governor of Liangjiang was startled, and finally noticed that the maid who had been swaying for a long time turned out to be Fujin, and immediately bowed down to Man'er, sweating profusely. No, low rank immediately Cao Yuqi still stood up straight, and blurted out in shock: "Little sister, are you elder brother Fujin?" ! Yin Lu suddenly opened his eyes angrily.presumptuous!Master Sixteen, can my Fujin allow you to call him whatever you want?After shouting, he started coughing again. Man'er stuck out her tongue, and quickly sat on the edge of the bed to rub his chest.He didn't mean it, I never mentioned it to him!Seeing that his cough was getting worse, he hurriedly ordered Wu Ertai to bring a cup of ginseng tea for his grandfather, warm, not cold, hurry up! After a while, after a few sips of ginseng tea, Yin Lu finally felt better, and closed his eyes tiredly. I have seen Fujin.He said hoarsely, still insisting. This time, no one hesitated anymore, all four of them greeted the ceremony respectfully, and then Yinlu began to ask questions. Speak!How is the result? Report to the Sixteenth Lord, the servants and others did follow the prince's order and went all out to hunt down those rebels, but they always deliberately let them go without leaving a trace at the last moment Eh? !Why let them go?Man'er protested loudly.They injured Master Sixteen so badly that they almost killed Master Sixteen, how dare you let them go, don't you want their heads? This Fujin, but this is the order of Master Sixteen! Yinlu?Man'er turned to Yinlu in surprise.Why?Why are you letting them go? Yinlu stared deeply at Man'er, his eyes were very strange. I'll tell you later, now you shut up! Man'er pursed her red lips and stopped talking. Yinlu closed his eyes again, you, continue!But the hand quietly held Man'er's catkin. Yes, Master Sixteen.Those rebels were indeed going in the direction of Hunan, but most of them stopped on the way. Only the pair of sisters and their maids led the two teenagers into Hunan. Of those five, none of them touched them? Yes, Lord Sixteen, none of them moved. Great, what about the rest? According to Master Sixteen's orders, those who remained in Jiangning were all arrested, and those who left Jiangning were limited to monitoring their actions The more Man'er listened, the more strange she became, but she was very obedient, and she really tried her best to keep her mouth shut until the governor of Liangjiang and the other four left after reporting. Very tired, he immediately swallowed his doubts back. You look so tired, Yinlu, go to sleep! Yinlu glanced at her, then let her help him lie down, closed his eyes, and held her catkin again. No matter how I destroy the rebel organization, there will always be another new organization, and this will be endless, unless I can kill all the Han people in the world, but Huang Ama does not allow it, so the best way It's not to destroy them, but to send people to infiltrate them to monitor their every move, and to sabotage their actions when necessary. but your identity has The protagonist of this action is not me. Huh? ! I'm just in charge of getting people in. Ga? ! Now, people have gone in! Eh? ! My mission has been accomplished. ah! Are you pregnant again? Uh, why did you suddenly come in and out with such inconsistent words? More than half a month has passed, and Yinlu can already be supported by others to take a walk slowly in the garden, but he can't walk too much or too tightly. It's just a walk back and forth, his body is still some time away from fully recovering, and if he is not careful, he will have a fever again.However, this is not a big problem, as long as you are careful. For Man'er at the moment, the biggest problem now is: the weather is too hot! Summer is as hot as a stove, and winter is so cold that it snows heavily. This is a remarkable climate feature that Nanjing has more than other cities in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, the hotter the weather, the worse the appetite, especially for Yinlu who is seriously injured, he can't eat this, and that can't be eaten, and when the weather is hot, he can't eat this, and that has no appetite, so every time he uses During the pre-meal preparations, Man'er started to get dizzy. What should he make today before he is willing to eat? Stepping on the curved stone bridge under the rockery and facing the water, Man'er was troubled and thought to himself. well!Just mess with it casually, if he doesn't eat it, just kneel down and beg him! Reporting to Fujin, Mr. Cao Qian asked to see him. Master Cao Qian?Man'er looked at the maid standing in front of her in surprise.He wants to see me, isn't he? If you go back to Fujin, Mr. Cao Qian is asking to see you, Fujin. That's it, Man'er thought about it.OK, ask him to go to the water hall, and I will go there in a while. The maid was ordered to leave, and she continued to go to the kitchen, instructing the cook to cut and wash some materials first, and then went to the water hall built by the water to meet the guests. Brother Cao. Little uh, Fujin. Man'er smiled, waved away the servants, and called Cao Yuqi to sit down on the round stool. Senior Brother Cao has something to do with me? After Cao Yuqi stared at her solemnly for a moment, he said slowly: I'd better speak bluntly!Today I came here to ask my little sister, if I catch my little sister's uncle, what would my little sister want from me? Don't hesitate, do business!Man'er replied. Business?Cao Yuqi's eyes widened in astonishment.Why?little sister is not That was before, Man'er said flatly.It's different now. Why?Because you are Master Sixteen's Fujin now? From Cao Yuqi's tone, it is not difficult to detect the faint sarcasm, and Man'er couldn't help laughing. Maybe um, so to speak!She got up and walked towards the railing of the white stone bench, and sat down sideways looking at the rockery in front of the pavilion.In fact, I didn't know who he was when I married him, so once I knew his true identity, I desperately wanted to escape from him.But She listened quietly for a while to the sound of the triple waterfall cascading down from the rockery. Uncle Hui found me and asked me to assassinate him. Cao Yuqi gasped.What?How could he ask you to take such a risk? He didn't ask me to take risks, he meant to sacrifice me.Man'er said quietly.However, at that time, I was still stubborn and only wanted the approval of my relatives, so I listened to Uncle Hui's words and went to assassinate Yinlu. She was so startled that she almost fell to the ground, Cao Yuqi was so frightened that her face turned pale, Ke Keke even stuttered.but you now Man'er smiled lightly, and turned to stare at the pool of water below the mountain. Naturally, I was caught in the Sky Prison, and I thought I was going to die.But two days later, as soon as Yinlu woke up, he rushed into the prison to save me. He also told the emperor that if I had to die, he asked the emperor to kill him first, so the emperor had to let me go.Then he told me that if I really wanted him to die, he would die for me! ah? !Cao Yuqi was stunned for a moment. Only then did I understand what he meant for me, and I suddenly realized how stupid I was in the past. I immediately tried to grab the antidote to save him, but I couldn't escape. Uncle Hui caught me and said he was her With a self-deprecating smile, he wants to take me to commemorate the dead anti-Qing and Fuming patriots.But this time she squinted at Cao Yuqi and smiled.It was still Yinlu who rescued me by holding on to his seriously injured body. Cao Yuqi opened his mouth, and then closed it without a word. As for this time, she suddenly turned to face Cao Yuqi.Although my martial arts were taught by you, I still have to say that my martial arts are really poor, especially compared to Yinlu, whose martial arts are so powerful that they can be called terrifying.However, this time he was injured so badly that he almost died, while I was unscathed. Have you ever wondered why? Cao Yuqi shook his head foolishly. A gentle and affectionate light flashed from the bottom of her eyes, and she sighed softly. Because he only cared about protecting me, but he forgot that he would die if he was too seriously injured.He allowed the blood on his body to continuously stain me, but he just didn't want me to suffer a little bit of harm.Even if the sword was too late, he used his body to block the attacks on me, and all the attacks on me came from Looking directly at Cao Yuqi, she said in a low voice: Uncle Yun and Uncle Tian! Cao Yuqi opened his mouth wide in surprise. Maybe they hated me, or maybe they wanted to prove that they could kill relatives, I don't know, but her tone was very calm anyway.I tried to save them and they wanted to kill me, that's a fact.So, what do you want me to say?Will you secretly let them go for my sake? Shaking his head, no, no need.If you want to let them go secretly, that's your business and nothing to do with me. I have already paid off what I owed to the Liu family.There was more determination in her tone. The Liu family was my close relatives and the people who raised me up. But in contrast, from the day I was born until the day of Ming Xiaoling, I was also a little bit by them. Drop by drop slowly kills. Now, I only owe Yinlu one person. I owe him life, his kindness, and his love. I will never be clear. Now I only live for him. I can't hold anyone else in my heart anymore.Therefore, if there is any news about the Liu family in the future, you don't need to tell me, I don't need to know, I just want to know at this moment She suddenly showed a look of wanting to cry. In such a hot weather, what should I cook so that he will obediently eat it for me? Cao Yuqi was stunned, and he didn't understand why the serious topic suddenly turned here. He really couldn't make up his mind, but he still blurted out involuntarily: "Watermelon chicken!" It's cooked!But that person has such a tricky mouth, he will get tired after eating it two or three times!Man'er muttered.snort!The prince's elder brother is so lucky, he is entitled to be tricked. And that cabbage? Is it too early now?Man'er said suspiciously.Is the osmanthus soft-shelled turtle out yet? have no idea. Then you still say!He waved his hand snortingly.Change one, change one! Uh, Cao Yuqi scratched his head.Melon ginger shredded fish?Sweet-scented osmanthus porridge? He doesn't like porridge, especially sweet porridge.But she mused.He should like melon ginger shredded fish, right?Well, try it! Red shrimp cold skin? Hey Hey hey!Is there a place to buy stuffed leather? Yes, I have!exist ah!you know?Very good!Then I'll leave it to you, go and buy me stuffed skins and shrimps right away, from West Lake! Eh? !West Lake?Hey, little girl, you are too much, how can I Brother Sixteen wants to eat, do you dare to say no? dare not. Okay, then go quickly, I'll give you half an hour. In half an hour, you should tell Master Sixteen to chop off my head! After a while, Cao Yuqi hurried out of the water hall, as if there was a ghost chasing after him, while Man'er came out happily, and walked quickly towards the kitchen, muttering about melon, ginger, melon and so on. Ginger, people need to buy melon and ginger! It wasn't until she disappeared that two people slowly walked out from under the eaves of the side corridor of the water hall. Urtai. yes sir Is my mouth really tricky? yes sir. Help me back to my room! So, the tall Urtai walked slowly back to the dormitory with the help of Yinlu who was sluggish. Urtai. yes sir Why do I have to eat?
