The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On August 14th, Hongwu [-]th, Cui Miao had been back for five days and seven days of vacation, and today was the last day, but he had no plans to go back, not to mention the agreement with Shen Qing, even for Li Cuilan, he could not stay here time to go back.In the two days, except for the first day when I went to invite a doctor, I never went out again, and stayed by Li Cuilan's bedside, serving her wholeheartedly.

"Mother's illness is terminally ill, and the medicine is useless now. It's only been a few days."

The doctor's words are vivid in my ears, and Cui Miao can't help but feel sour every time he thinks about it.Cui Miao wanted to cry but didn't dare, he didn't want Li Cuilan's last days to be miserable.The uncle from the neighbor's house also came to visit, and when they saw Cui Miao, they looked very special, especially Cui Gui's, they would glare at him every time they saw him, but they didn't dare to do anything because of Cui Miao's identity.

On August 14, Hongwu 23th, early in the morning, before Cui Miao got up, he heard movement in the yard. He woke up in bed for a while, then got up and dressed, opened the door and looked into the yard. Seeing the dusty Shen Qing leading the horse in.Cui Miao asked aloud: "Brother Shen, I remember locking the door last night, how did you get in?"

Shen Qing replied without changing expression: "Climb over the wall and open the door."

Cui Miao was speechless, went over to take the reins, led the horse and tied it to another post in the cowshed, and asked, "Brother Shen, did the lord tell you?"

Shen Qing's eyes flashed, and he said calmly: "You don't have to worry about the prince, I have reported the truth. There is no war right now, so it won't hurt to delay for a while."

Cui Miao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but her expression was a bit gloomy, and she said bitterly: "To tell the truth, Brother Shen, my mother is seriously ill, and it's only been a few days. Go. I owed my mother too much when I was young, and now I can only stay in front of the bed and do my filial piety, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

Shen Qing was dazed for a moment, then asked: "Bring a few more doctors, maybe there is still hope."

Cui Miao lowered her eyes and said sadly: "I have already invited many doctors, but it is useless."

Shen Qing reached out to pull Cui Miao into his arms, but stopped in mid-air, and finally just patted him on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Life and death are definite, Da Lang must not be too sad."

Cui Miao calmed down, looked at Shen Qing, and asked, "How is the investigation of Sun Xiu going?"

Shen Qing replied truthfully: "Zhang Ming died, the day before we returned to Beiping. The prince was furious, and he must find out the truth. When we go back this time, the prince should summon you."

Cui Miao was startled, and then asked: "Brother Shen, you mean that the lord wants me to investigate?"

"You paid too much attention before, and you are the most suitable candidate in the prince's heart."

Cui Miao smiled wryly, "Looks like I'm going to keep my edge in the future, otherwise I'll be asking for trouble."

"Da Lang, who's here?" The door was pushed open, and Li Cuilan, who hadn't gotten out of bed for ten days, actually came out from the room, looking much more refreshed.

Seeing this, Cui Miao felt a "thump" in her heart, her nose turned sour, and her eyes were red. He knew that this was abnormal, and it was probably a flashback.Cui Miao suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, hurriedly greeted her, supported Li Cuilan, and said worriedly: "Mother, why are you up?"

Li Cuilan patted Cui Miao's hand and said with a smile: "Mother feels that she is in good spirits today and has strength in her body. When she heard someone talking outside, she came out to take a look. It turned out that Ah Qing is here. Are you also going home to visit relatives?" ?”

Shen Qing bowed and saluted, and responded: "Auntie, Qing's parents passed away when he was young, and he came back today, one is to pay respects to his parents, and the other is to visit his aunt."

Li Cuilan sighed, and said distressedly: "It turns out that Ah Qing is also a hard-working child. Stop standing, and sit in the room."

Cui Miao looked at the two in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "Mother and Brother Shen know each other?"

Li Cuilan said with a smile: "Didn't Da Lang ask Ah Qing to take something with him before he went to Beiping? Why, how long have you forgotten?"

"Bring something? What?" Cui Miao became more and more confused.

Shen Qing interjected: "It's something that the prince rewarded you, and you forgot to take it with you when you went home. Qing happened to be here on business, so you asked me to bring it back, did you forget?"

When Shen Qing mentioned such a point, Cui Miao couldn't understand, looked at him gratefully, and said cooperatively: "Oh, I remembered, I didn't expect my mother's memory to be so good!"

"If it were someone else, maybe my mother wouldn't be able to remember it, but Ah Qing is so good-looking, it's hard not to be remembered."

"Mother said that because she thought Da Lang was not good-looking?"

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's all beautiful!" Li Cuilan said with a smile: "Quick, come into the room and talk, don't stand here, it's impolite."

While the three of them were talking, they entered the room, Cui Miao helped Li Cuilan to sit down, and then greeted Shen Qing, the three of them chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves happily.

Li Cuilan looked at the sky and said, "Da Lang, it's getting late, you sit with Ah Qing, and I'll make breakfast for you."

Cui Miao pressed Li Cuilan on the chair, and said, "Mother is good to sit comfortably, my son will just go out and buy some breakfast."

Li Cuilan looked at Shen Qing, "Why don't you wake up Hua'er and ask him to buy it."

"Mother, Hua'er is still young, let him sleep more, don't worry about breakfast, let Brother Shen chat with you for a while, I'll be right back."

Li Cuilan nodded and said, "Alright."

"Please trouble Brother Shen to take care of my mother for me, I will come as soon as I go."

Shen Qing replied: "Don't worry Dalang, I'm here."

Cui Miao exhorted a few words worriedly, turned around and went out, only Li Cuilan and Shen Qing were left in the room.Shen Qing got up and came to Li Cuilan, knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', startled Li Cuilan, she hurriedly helped her up, and said suspiciously: "Ah Qing, what is this for? Get up, get up!"

Shen Qing held Li Cuilan's hand, knelt firmly on the ground, and said guiltily: "Auntie, there is something I want to confess to you when I come to Qing this time."

Li Cuilan was startled, and then said, "We'll talk about it when we wake up."

"This matter concerns Dalang, Auntie, listen to me."

"Da Lang?" Li Cuilan stopped her movements and asked nervously, "What happened to Da Lang?"

"Auntie, what Qing said may be hard for you to accept, but Qing has to say it, please rest assured, Auntie."

The uneasiness in Li Cuilan's heart magnified, she clenched her hands subconsciously, and the sharp nails were embedded in Shen Qing's palm, but he didn't change his face as if he didn't notice it.

Li Cuilan tried to remain calm, "Ah Qing, tell the truth and don't hide anything."

Shen Qing said honestly: "Auntie, not long after we went to Beiping, Qinghe Dalang went to the battlefield. He was shot by a bow and arrow to save me. Although he saved his life, he was left with symptoms."

Li Cuilan asked eagerly after hearing the words: "What kind of disease is it that is life-threatening?"

Shen Qing was a bit embarrassed to speak, but had to say, "There is no fear of life, it's just, it's just that Da Lang will not have any more children in the future."

Shen Qing's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Li Cuilan stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a while.Tears welled up in her eyes, and Li Cuilan said unacceptably: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! If it wasn't for me, how could Da Lang... blame me all!"

Li Cuilan's spirit was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye, Shen Qing panicked, and said quickly: "Auntie, you must be thinking about it now! Dalang only has you as a relative now, if something happens to you again, what should he do?"

Li Cuilan couldn't help crying sadly: "Da Lang, my poor child..."

"Auntie, all of this is Qing's fault, if you want to beat him or punish him, you can do whatever you want!"

Li Cuilan looked at Shen Qing with tears in her eyes, and said: "What's the use of beating you and punishing you? Can Dalang's body be healed? How will he live in the future!"

"Auntie, Da Lang is like this because of saving Qing, Qing is willing to stay by his side for the rest of his life, protecting him well!"

Li Cuilan was startled when she heard the words, and then said: "Ah Qing, although I haven't studied, I understand the truth. I don't blame you for this matter. I don't expect you to guard him forever. After all, you will marry a wife and have children in the future." I just ask you one thing, if you have a child in the future, you must adopt one to Da Lang, so that he will not be helpless when he gets old, can you agree?"

"Impossible!" Shen Qing said word by word: "Auntie, after learning about this matter, Qing has sworn a poisonous oath to stay by his side for the rest of her life, life and death together. Qing will not marry a wife, let alone have children, So please forgive me for not agreeing to Auntie's request!"

"Ah Qing, you..." Li Cuilan looked at Shen Qing in a daze, she saw firmness and stubbornness in his eyes, Li Cuilan seemed to understand something.

"Da Lang's illness, does he know about it?"

"Qing didn't inform, he was still kept in the dark."

The two fell silent, and suddenly footsteps came from the yard, Li Cuilan hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said, "Get up quickly, don't let him know about this beforehand."

Shen Qing stood up, tidied his clothes, and sat back to his original position.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, Cui Miao walked in carrying a big oil-paper bag, and said, "Scallion pancakes just out of the pan, cook a pot of egg soup, and breakfast is ready."

Li Cuilan cheered up and said with a smile: "It smells delicious, just like my mother wants to eat."

Seeing that Li Cuilan's eyes were red and swollen, Cui Miao quickly asked with concern: "Mother has something to do, why are her eyes so red?"

Li Cuilan rubbed her eyes in a concealed manner, and explained: "What can mother do? Just now a bug flew into her eyes, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously. If you don't believe me, just ask Ah Qing."

Shen Qing nodded, and said in a harmonious manner: "Auntie and Qing have a very happy conversation."

Seeing this, Cui Miao felt relieved and said, "You guys wait, I'll cook the soup."

Seeing Cui Miao go out, the forced smile on Li Cuilan's face disappeared, revealing a sad expression.After a long time, she looked at Shen Qing and asked seriously: "Shen Qing, are you serious about what you just said?"

Shen Qing raised his right hand, raised two fingers, and swore: "I, Shen Qing, swear to the ancestors of the Shen family that I will stay by Cui Miao's side for the rest of my life, protect him, accompany him, and never leave. Without a whole body, the soul flies away!"
