Looking away, he saw that Hai Ruyue was distracted and didn't even know that he had walked to her side, so he asked: "What are you thinking about?"
The tone of speaking to her also changed. The original tone was full of coercion or teasing and playfulness.
The time of coercion is the time to talk about business, the time of teasing and joking is the time to play with the woman's charm and beauty. Now that feeling has passed unconsciously. No matter how charming Hai Ruyue is, it is difficult for him to eagerly possess her. and the desire to play.
The tone became ordinary and flat, no longer coveting, toying with, or possessive. It became a way of communicating not with outsiders but with family members.
Hai Ruyue came to her senses, stood up, and asked, "Eunuch Zhao is gone?"
"Let's go." Li Wuhua nodded.
Hai Ruyue's eyes fell on the box he was holding in one arm, "What is this?"
"The congratulatory gift sent by the Queen Mother Zhao Sen is a box of tonics. I can't understand this box." Li Wuhua said and opened the box in his hand.
Both boxes were carefully inspected and no problems were found. As for the box containing the tonics, they were temporarily thrown aside. Those in the capital did not dare to give Hai Ruyue casual doses.
And in this open box, there are crystal balls, amber with insects frozen in it, small wooden dolls, exquisite wind chimes, etc., filled with a dazzling array of gadgets.
Li Wuhua was a little puzzled, "Is it for children to play with? Children are so young, can't they understand these things?"
Seeing the things in the box, Hai Ruyue's eyes were dull, and her eyes gradually turned red. She put her hand into the box, touched the items with her fingertips, and murmured: "It's not for children to play with, it was for me to play with when I was a child. s things."
"..." Li Wuhua was speechless.
Hai Ruyue took out a piece of silk, opened it, and saw that it was embroidered with crooked flowers and plants, and there were two ugly-looking butterflies on the flowers and plants. When he saw this thing, tears burst out of his eyes. He covered his mouth and glanced at the child, as if he was afraid of waking up the sleeping child.
Li Wuhua was surprised, "What's wrong?"
Hai Ruyue choked up and said: "This is what I embroidered when I first learned embroidery when I was a child, mother..."
It turned out that he was moved by the scene. Li Wuhua expressed his understanding and sighed, "Is it because I want to move people with my feelings and use this to seduce you back to the capital?"
Hai Ruyue shook her head with tears in her eyes, with a look of dismay on her face, "I am no longer the little girl I used to be, and the emperor brother is no longer the young man he used to be. My mother and queen can't control him, and she can't control me either. Can I still go back? Go back. not going!"
Just understand this! Li Wuhua reached out to her back to comfort her slightly, "Since it's just some childhood memories, then you can keep them with me."
The box arrived in Hai Ruyue's hands, and Hai Ruyue sat beside it, taking out one by one, removing each one, and placing them on the table one by one.
Each piece is a memory for her, and she sheds tears when she plays with one piece.
Inside there was not only her first embroidery masterpiece, but also a piece of calligraphy left over from her first painting. The paper was already withered and yellow, but it was still folded and placed inside. Seeing the ugly painting, Hai Ruyue couldn't help but burst into tears. For laughter.
Looking at it now, it is hard to imagine that this is something I drew.
But as soon as I saw it, I knew it was painted by me.
Li Wuhua stood at the door, looked back and stared at her for a while, and finally stepped out...
The next day, something was wrong with Hai Ruyue's body. She started to have a fever and coughed from time to time.
I don't know if she was hurt by seeing something from her childhood. Li Wuhua didn't care about it and immediately took away the box and its contents and isolated them from here.
What made Li Wuhua even more panicked was that his infant also started to have a fever and was crying loudly.
As a monk, he constantly used miraculous medicines and spells to treat the mother and son.
The body temperature of the mother and son dropped and the coughing stopped. However, it recurred soon after, and they continued to receive treatment and repeated it again and again.
Neither the spells nor the medicines had any real effect. Instead, the vitality of the mother and son gradually declined.
Fortunately, adults have the ability to control themselves.
The child didn't understand this, and it was unbearable to keep crying like this, so he had to tap his acupuncture points to make him fall into a coma before he stopped crying.
Li Wuhua panicked and sent an urgent message to the sect, asking for help.
The envoys from various countries who came one after another to congratulate Xi could not see Hai Ruyue. They were all blocked by Li Wuhua who found an excuse...
As they rode into the city, Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi arrived in no hurry. They entered the city without covering up and showed their true faces.
After entering the city, they met Fang Zhe who came to greet him, and the three of them headed to the Governor's Mansion together.
As for Wu Laoer, he had already entered the city first and secretly arrived at the liaison office set up here in Nanzhou.
After arriving at their destination, the three of them waited at the gate of the Governor's Mansion. Soon after the guard went in to report, someone came out and led the three of them inside.
Zhu Shun appeared at the door to greet him. The housekeeper looked much older and looked haggard.
"Butler Zhu, why don't you rest?" Niu Youdao asked casually when they met.
Zhu Shun smiled, and without saying anything, he extended his hand and asked the three of them to follow him.
On the way deep into the mansion, Niu Youdao gradually discovered something was wrong. None of the servants who came to see Zhu Shun saluted.
Niu Youdao could vaguely see that the housekeeper seemed to have lost power in the governor's mansion.
Zhu Shun couldn't tell outsiders about his difficulties in Jinzhou.
The real children of the Xiao family have been weak in Jinzhou for too long.
Xiao Bieshan was weak when he was alive, but Hai Ruyue stepped in to take charge.
Xiao Bieshan passed away, and Xiao Tianzhen was young and frail, so Hai Ruyue was still in charge.
In Jinzhou, Hai Ruyue has always spoken on behalf of the Xiao family. Hai Ruyue has been in charge of Jinzhou for nearly twenty years.
It turned out that the old people who were loyal to the Xiao family had basically changed. They didn't feel anything if nothing happened. Once something happened, Zhu Shun realized that the forces loyal to the Xiao family had changed under Hai Ruyue's gentle methods. The Xiao family was Hai Ruyue. , Hai Ruyue is the Xiao family, the Xiao family is gone, it doesn't matter as long as Hai Ruyue is here.
So much so that an incident did not cause any ripples in Jinzhou, and Hai Ruyue easily changed her identity.
The Xiao family has become a thing of the past in Jinzhou. It has passed. Now that things have been done, Wandong Tianfu does not want the Xiao family to still have any influence. It does not want to cause any disputes and troubles on the ground in Jinzhou. The Xiao family After all, he still has a son with the ghost doctor.
As for him, a veteran of the Xiao family, Li Wuhua originally wanted to kick him out, but it was Hai Ruyue Nian who kept him after all his hard work over the years.
Although the person stayed, his power was gone and he was emptied out. Now the person in charge of the governor's house is one of Li Wuhua's apprentices.
When he saw Li Wuhua in the courtyard, Niu Youdao was also a little surprised and found that the monk Li Wuhua also looked haggard.
Before he could be polite, Li Wuhua glared and said, "What are you doing here?"
He really couldn't be polite to this visitor. How could he easily forget about catching Xiao Tianzhen and threatening Wandong Tianfu.
Niu Youdao smiled and said: "Elder Li is getting married. I am not here to congratulate you. I hope you will forgive me for not being able to come to congratulate you. I learned that the elder has a son, so I came here to congratulate you."
When Fang Fang and Hai Ruyue got married, it was after the Nanzhou War. He was hiding and didn't want Tianyumen to find him, so he didn't come.
Li Wuhua waved his sleeves and said, "There is no need for you to congratulate me, you are not welcome here!"
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a lower tone, "Elder Li, what you mean by this is that you want to end Jinzhou and Nanzhou on behalf of Wandong Tianfu." An alliance? If that’s the case, I’ll just leave. But I’ll say it first, don’t regret it when I leave this gate, Wandong Tianfu!”
Li Wuhua was already upset, and now she was threatened in person. She really wanted to yell at the other person to get out!
But after all, he is not in a hurry. He knows that Nanzhou today is not as good as before. Even Tianyumen was kicked out of Nanzhou by this person. Now this person has absolute influence on Nanzhou. He has no right to terminate the contract on behalf of Jinzhou. Form an alliance, but they are qualified to terminate the alliance on behalf of Nanzhou.
He couldn't bear such a big responsibility, otherwise he wouldn't have let Niu Youdao in.
Li Wuhua's disciple Guo Wanjin, who is now taking care of things in Zhu Shun's hands, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over for his master, "My master's mood has been affected a bit recently, Brother Niu, don't take it personally. "
Niu Youdao didn't want to break up with him, so he also walked down the steps and asked with a smile: "It's a happy time to have a beautiful wife and a precious son. Why does Elder Li feel so bad?"
Guo Wanjin didn't know whether he should say this or not. It was still being kept secret for fear that the news would spread and cause trouble in Jinzhou.
At this moment, a child's cry of "wow" was faintly heard from the inside.
Li Wuhua turned around suddenly, with an anxious look on his face. He knew it was time for the child to eat again.
It is impossible to keep a child asleep without eating, but the child cries as soon as he wakes up, and becomes upset when he hears his son's cry.
Guo Wanjin couldn't help but frown.
Niu Youdao was keenly aware of something and said slowly: "I want to see the eldest princess."
Li Wuhua turned around and said, "She just gave birth and it's not suitable to see people. It's the same with me if you need anything."
Niu Youdao: "Elder Li, I don't want anything to happen that will affect the relationship between our allies. Something seems to have happened here! Let me reiterate, I want to see the princess!"
Unable to stop him, the more he stopped, the more Niu Youdao realized that something had happened to Hai Ruyue.
It's nonsense to say that you shouldn't see people after giving birth. It's been several days since giving birth, and ordinary women can see people. He doesn't believe that a group of monks help recuperate her body, but her recovery will be slower and she can't see people.
The obstruction is fruitless, Niu Youdao must be seen, for this reason, he must know the truth even if he turns against him.
In the end, Li Wuhua had no choice but to take him to see him.
As soon as they entered the room where Hai Ruyue was resting, a disciple from Wandong Tianfu had just cast a spell to regulate Hai Ruyue's vitality.
There was more than one disciple helping with the treatment. Throughout the day, several disciples took turns casting spells, and the same was true for the children.
At this point, I no longer care whether men and women are intimate or not.
When the two maids helped Hai Ruyue lie down, Niu Youdao saw Hai Ruyue's face, her eyes were dull and her face was pale.
Hai Ruyue also saw him, and immediately became excited when she saw him, as if she was seeing a devil.
