The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"Master, Master..."

The crazy old woman seemed to understand something in her heart, and she muttered several times that she wanted to go to the living room.

Every time he was stopped and coaxed by Yu Heng.

Once or twice, the old woman began to get anxious. She stretched out her hands to scratch and bite, and tears fell without warning. "Master, I found Wei'er, I found Wei'er!"

Li Sulan followed the nanny in and saw this scene. Her heart ached for no reason and she hurried towards the old woman, "Grandma!"

"Sulan, don't go over there--"

Madam Du was frightened by this and subconsciously wanted to stop Li Sulan. She was so pregnant and Madam Xiao was going crazy. If they bumped into her -

Unexpectedly, the old woman who had been biting Yu Heng's arm heard Li Sulan's voice, was stunned for a moment, and actually began to quiet down. She turned her head and pouted, looking very aggrieved.

Aunt Du: "..."

All right.

One thing brings down another thing.

As the sun was about to set, the stained glass window that had been closed for an afternoon finally opened with a slight creaking sound, and the front yard instantly came alive.

Yu Heng flew to the window and looked inside. His tongue was stiff with nervousness. "Brother, what's going on?"

"He's still alive. He won't wake up until tomorrow morning at the earliest. You will take care of him from now on, but any accidents have nothing to do with me." Jia Banxian drooped his arms weakly, looking as tired as if he had just returned from a battle on the battlefield.

On the small table next to the couch, the little girl was so tired that she fell asleep, her mouth half open and she was snoring.

The exhausted look is both pleasing and heartbreaking.

"Mammy, please carry Bai Xiang down to sleep." Yan Changqing whispered the order and walked to the side of the couch.

The old man lay there quietly, the lifelessness on his face fading.

None of those who were guarding outside knew how Jia Banxian and Bai Xiang saved people, but from the old man's sleeping expression, it could be seen that he was not feeling unwell at the moment.

He was sleeping very soundly, and his breathing was weak but long.

"The man was saved by Taoist Jia. As for the rest of the matter, no word of it shall be disclosed to the outside world." He spoke, his voice still low, but the intimidation in his words could not be refused.

Yu Heng and Mo Yi both nodded their heads.

Afterwards, Yan Changqing turned to Jia Banxian and bowed with both hands, "Changqing thanks you for your help, Taoist priest. General Xiao has made great military achievements throughout his life and is a key contributor to the stability of Da Rui. Da Rui owes him a lot. Taoist priest, Changqing and my father will remember your help this time!

"Alright, alright, what are you remembering? I saved General Xiao only because he was General Xiao. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Don't flatter me." Jia Banxian yawned loudly and walked out like a wandering soul. "I'm so sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. Don't call me if you have any problems. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally!"

At the back, although the young boy didn't finish his words, he still bowed solemnly and stood up only after the old Taoist priest walked away.

Li Sulan supported Madam Xiao and stood to one side. She was slightly surprised when she saw this scene, but the surprise disappeared in an instant. The old woman beside her grabbed her hand tightly, led her to the edge of the couch, pointed at the sleeping old man and said to her repeatedly, "Wei'er, this is your father, Daddy!"

Then the old woman pointed at her nose again, happy and nervous, "I-I, am mother, mother."

When the old woman said this, for some reason even her eyes became cautious, as if she had done something wrong and was afraid of not being forgiven.

As Li Sulan listened and watched, her eyes became hot before she even said anything.

When Nanny Du asked her to come over to help, she had already told her the general situation. She knew that the old man lying there was the general of the current dynasty, and that the crazy old woman was the general's wife.

We also know that this old couple, who were only in their sixties but had white hair, had lost their four sons on the battlefield and their two-year-old daughter.

They both had suffered many misfortunes in their lives, and as they grew old and died, they were unable to dispel the grief and guilt that weighed on their hearts.

Especially the old lady, who suffered the pain of losing her son, and felt so guilty about losing her daughter in her hands... Perhaps only by going crazy could she take a breath in this self-isolation.

……

Changjing, the imperial palace.

Emperor Hong Jing was sitting in the imperial study. There was a pile of memorials submitted by his ministers in front of him, but he had no intention of dealing with them.

When he was annoyed, he would simply throw down the purple wolf hair brush, stand up and pace back and forth in front of the imperial desk with his hands behind his back.

Cui Jing was serving at the side, and when he saw the emperor like this, he knew that he was worried about General Xiao again.

"Cui Jing, according to the route, General Xiao should have arrived by now, right?"

Unsurprisingly.

The emperor has asked this question more than a dozen times in the past two days.

Cui Jing continued to answer conscientiously for the 10th time, "Your Majesty, according to the route, they should have arrived yesterday. There will be a letter reporting the situation, and we will receive news in seven days at the latest."

"Seven days..." Emperor Hong Jing sighed, "I hope there is no news from there. Sometimes no news is good news, right?"

"Your Majesty, please do not worry too much. General Xiao is blessed by heaven and will surely be able to turn the danger into safety."

"I hope so."

In addition to the imperial palace, the residences of major high-ranking officials in the capital were also talking about this matter.

General Xiao's health condition is no secret, and one can always hear some news about it in the Imperial Hospital.

After Madam Xiao disappeared, the old general's health suddenly deteriorated to the point where no medicine could cure him.

Officials in the court were secretly waiting for bad news from the Xiao Mansion so they could go and offer their condolences.

Unexpectedly, instead of the bad news, the news came that Yu Heng and the old general were leaving Beijing urgently.

This move was so sudden that many people were unable to react. By the time they came to their senses, the old general was nowhere to be found.

In a luxurious mansion in an alley on West Street, several men in brocade robes gathered in a small flower hall. They talked about this matter while drinking a few drinks, and they were full of doubts.

"Xiao Birang is only breathing his last breath. The news from the Imperial Hospital has confirmed that he will not live long. How could the Emperor let him leave the capital at this time?"

"It's hard to say. Hasn't the little prince been away from the capital for more than a year? He was said to be recuperating in the imperial temple, but who has seen it with their own eyes? In the past year, the palace has been very mysterious and puzzling."

"The young prince and Xiao Birang... are both people that the emperor values. Do you think there is any connection between them? Is there some hidden master in Da Rui who can save the dying? Otherwise, why would they all run away one by one?"

"This year, the most bizarre thing that happened in Da Rui was the herb Bai Xiang Cao... It can refresh the mind and relieve fatigue, stop bleeding and pain, and cure epidemics. It was even rumored that this herbal tea has the miraculous effect of curing chronic diseases and prolonging life!"

Several people looked at each other, and there was no need to say anything else.

The Emperor and the Empress dote on Crown Prince Yan Lin and treat him like their own flesh and blood.

Whenever the little prince fell ill in the past, there would be a commotion in the palace, right?

But this time, the emperor and empress stayed in the palace, and they were as calm as a rock after not seeing their beloved son for a year.

It's worth further investigation.
