Back in the room, Wu Du took off his coat, and the bandages wrapped around his chest and shoulders oozes blood again.
"Crap." Duan Ling said, "your injury is not healed yet."
"It's okay." Wu Du said, "Just take some medicine."
The arrows used by the assassins were poisoned, but Wu Du also carried the antidote with him. The antidote and the toxicity had been in a battle for the past few days. Duan Ling also asked the people from the Mufu to buy the medicinal materials for the antidote. . But many pharmacies in the city are sold out.
I also knew that it was Cai Yan's hand. Fortunately, there were still a lot of medicinal materials in the room. Duan Ling prepared it again and applied it to Wu Du.
"It's fine." Wu Du replied, "Don't worry."
Wu Du stretched out his hand to hug Duan Ling, and Duan Ling said, "I have been running around recently, and the injury is not healing. I can no longer drink and have sex."
"Yeah." With a smile in Wu Du's eyes, Duan Ling added, "You must not be in trouble."
"The skill has recovered by 50-60%." Wu Du said, "The fight is not a big problem."
"The injury will be aggravated after the fight." Duan Ling advised, "Don't draw your sword and use force easily."
Duan Ling kissed Wu Du's profile face, and felt very guilty. After returning to Jiangzhou, Wu Du was injured, and he kept following him around. The weather was so hot that his arrow wound never healed. If you are injured, you should rest.
"Wang Shan!" Mu Qing came in with a smile, Duan Ling dressed Wu Du and motioned him to lie down in the room for a while.
"You're back?" Duan Ling stood in the courtyard.
"What happened to Wu Du?" Mu Qing looked inside and saw Wu Du lying on the couch.
Duan Ling indicated that it was okay, he was just taking a nap, came out side by side with Muqing, and asked, "I was so busy that I didn't have time to talk to you when I came back. How is it in the Museum of Classics and History?"
Duan Ling was still the senior brother of Mu Qing in name, and Huang Jian was the biggest. Huang Jian is a serious person, not as flexible as Duan Ling. Every time Mu Qing is taught by Huang Jian, he thinks of Duan Ling.
"It's very quiet." Mu Qing said, "I wanted to sleep there every day, but no one was taking care of me, so I came back early."
Duan Ling and Mu Qing still entered Mu Mansion through the back door and sat under the porch. Mu Qing ordered someone to set the tea, and Duan Ling said with a smile, "You're such a big man, and you still need someone to take care of you. If no one is there to take care of you, you don't know how you're going to live or not?"
"Why are you and Huang Jian so similar?" Mu Qing couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, and like his father to order tea, the two sat in front of the porch drinking tea.
Seeing Muqing ordering tea, Duan Ling had a strange feeling. When every child grows up, they will be like the people they used to get along with day and night. In the past, Muqing did not drink tea, but only drank water mixed with honey, but as he grew up, he habitually learned from Mu Kuangda and began to fiddle with the tea set, as if being subtly influenced.
Then, will he gradually become like Li Jianhong
"Have you seen your father?" Although Duan Ling knew that Mu Kuangda would not tell Mu Qing many secrets, he still wanted to get some information out of his mouth.
"He went to the palace again." Mu Qingshen said mysteriously, "Wang Shan, let me tell you a secret, my aunt is pregnant. I'm going to have a younger brother."
Duan Ling was instantly shocked: "Brother?"
"Cousin." Mu Qing said, "It was left by His Majesty during his lifetime."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Duan Ling almost thought that Muqing knew about the affair between "father" and "aunt", but since Mu Kuangda was not Muqing's biological father, it was also someone else's business. what. Naihe Muqing is still in the dark... Thinking about it, it's really a bad debt.
"How do you know it's your younger brother?" Duan Ling said, "What if it's a little princess?"
"I guess it's my younger brother." Mu Qing said casually.
Duan Ling nodded and asked, "Is there anyone in the mansion who has come here recently?"
"No." Mu Qing said, "After New Year's Eve, there are no more guests, Wang Shan, sometimes I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" Duan Ling said casually.
Mu Qing sighed and said, "Since the beginning of this year, Your Majesty has been very unwilling to see my father."
Duan Ling's heart froze, but he still felt it. Mu Qing has always been big-hearted, and still has the heart of a young man, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything, and he's not a fool. The views in the imperial court, the discussions in the historical museum, including the attitude of the ministers towards the shepherd, will make him aware.
"No." Duan Ling comforted, "You think too much."
Muqing added: "Changliu-kun doesn't know where he went. You came back because of this, didn't you?"
"No." Duan Ling replied.
Mu Qing looked at Duan Ling's eyes, with a hint of imperceptible pleading in his eyes, and said, "Wang Shan, is our family in trouble?"
"No." Duan Ling frowned and said, "Why do you think so?"
"Three months ago, I heard the brothers from Jingshi Pavilion talking, and they all said that our family is almost finished." Muqing said, "You go out to Hebei, Huang Jian inspects taxes, and Jiangzhou has few of his own people. "
"Didn't I come back?" Duan Ling said, "Brother Huang is coming back soon."
"But since His Majesty is not very good to the Mu family." Muqing added, "Why is my aunt still pregnant? They used to say that His Majesty has always... had no children, so it should be impossible to give birth."
Duan Ling was shocked, his heart was beating wildly, and he was almost out of breath.
Muqing is still very smart, and after asking this sentence, his expression is gloomy, and he doesn't say more.
"Who else knows about her pregnancy?" Duan Ling asked.
Mu Qing shook his head and replied, "Only the imperial physician and father know, he told me not to tell anyone."
Li Yanqiu knew it for a long time, and he couldn't hide anything from him.
But Duan Ling didn't dare to ask who the child in Mu Jinzhi's belly belonged to.
"You'll be fine." Duan Ling comforted.
"Fortunately, you're back." Mu Qingfu laughed again.
It seemed that in the past six months, the Mu family's situation was indeed very serious, Mu Kuangda had to tuck his tail in his head, and everyone in the court was waiting to see the family fall. The shepherd's family has been in power in Dachen for nearly 20 years, and his anger is about to run out.
But he didn't expect that at the last moment, Mu Kuangda still came to a salted fish to turn over, and the people like Su Clan were so nervous.
Duan Ling reassured a few more words, and suddenly felt something. When he looked up, he saw a masked man in black, standing outside the door watching them both.
He didn't know how long he had been here, but he just stood there quietly. When he saw Mu Qing, his eyes narrowed under the mask and he was smiling.
"Changliu-Jun!" Mu Qing exclaimed, and rushed forward to catch Changliu-Jun.
Muqing was much smaller than Changliu-Jun, jumped up and rode on his back, screaming with joy.
"You're back?" Duan Ling asked.
Changliu-jun nodded, untied the wrap around his waist, took out Muqing and carried it horizontally, took it to the front of the porch, and said to him, "I brought you some fun."
Muqing suddenly took off Lord Changliu's mask and laughed. Changliu-jun blushed, and hurriedly said: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble."
When Changliujun reached out to take it, Muqing hugged him again and said, "Where have you been! Why didn't you write a letter back!"
"My words are ugly," said Changliu Jun, "I asked Young Master Wang to send you a message, but he didn't say anything?"
Duan Ling laughed, Mu Qing looked at Duan Ling suspiciously, and actually hid it from himself, but since the person came back, that's all.
Changliujun put on the mask again. Taking advantage of it for a while, Duan Ling caught a glimpse of Changliujun's face, his eyebrows were indeed vaguely similar to Muqing's, especially when he laughed, the expression of those eyes was just a face. The white tiger tattoo on it is too eye-catching, and when you first see it, it is not easy to be noticed.
Duan Ling remembered that Changliu-jun had said that he was also incognito and worshipped in the White Tiger Hall back then. Tattooed on the face, masked all the year round, maybe just because I don't want to be recognized.
When Changliu-jun was a child, he should have looked as good-looking as Muqing.
"Where's Mr. Fei?" Duan Ling asked.
"Where's in the concierge." Changliu-jun said, "Where is Wu Du?"
"I'm injured, I'm lying on the bed and resting." Duan Ling replied, "I'll go see Mr. Fei."
Lord Changliu nodded, and Duan Ling got up to receive Fei Hongde. When he left, he heard Lord Changliu and Muqing talking behind their backs.
"Where did you come from?" Mu Qing asked again, "Where did you go?"
"Tell me later." Chang Liujun said, "I won't be leaving this time."
"Really?" Mu Qing said, "You have to keep your word, and you are not allowed to go anywhere..."
"sure… "
When Duan Ling heard this, he vaguely remembered the spring in Shangjing. Tears seemed to flow from the bottom of his heart. He leaned against the wall and stood for a while before recovering. Instead of going to the concierge, he went to see Wu Du.
Wu Du was lying down and resting, he didn't open his eyes when he heard the sound, he just gave way to the inside.
Duan Ling hugged him, and Wu Du asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Duan Ling looked at Wu Du's eyes, kissed him on the lips again, and said, "I miss you, Mr. Fei Hongde is here, I'll go see him."
"Let's go together." Wu Du got up, put on his coat, and asked, "Jun Changliu is back too?"
Duan Ling nodded, the strength of the Mu Mansion has increased greatly, and Mu Kuangda has the confidence to fight against the prince. It's just that the two sides don't know yet, and the one who is really waiting for the opportunity is actually Duan Ling.
Fei Hongde was busy all the way, in front of the concierge of the Mu Mansion, he couldn't say anything to Duan Ling, he just talked a few things about the road. In order to prevent Mu Kuangda from suspecting their confession, Duan Ling did not take him in, but only drank tea with him in the gatehouse until Mu Kuangda returned.
In the evening of that day, Mu Kuangda learned that Fei Hongde was coming, and was busy hosting a banquet to treat him as a guest. After the two sides exchanged a few words, Fei Hongde took the initiative to speak.
"In the past few years, my nephew has always said that if someone can end this troubled world, they must be from the south." Fei Hongde said, "I have been running for many years in Liao, Yuan, and Xiliang, and gradually understand his deep meaning."
Mu Kuangda sighed: "I didn't expect that it would take many years in the blink of an eye. What Mr. said in the past has finally been fulfilled, and there is no mistake. It's a pity that I waited for short-sightedness and no big-heartedness. It's not like Mr. standing high. Look far."
"Sometimes in the game, it is really impossible to see through." Fei Hongde said, "It is really not easy to control the south with the ability of the shepherd minister."
