"If you didn't tell me that Xu Bai was injured, then do you still think that I am the daughter of the Ji family?" Ji Xili was obviously a little angry.
"Xili, things are different these days. You are now the person close to the emperor. You must be careful in your words and deeds in everything you do. You said that you always run home, and the emperor will be unhappy if he knows about it. Besides, There is no way to go into this matter. It was Xu Baiqiu who knew the truth first, and then her brother took revenge on Zhigong."
At the mention of this, Lord Ji's old eyes turned red again, he shook his head and sighed.
Just as he was talking, a very sarcastic voice suddenly came in from outside the door, "Now it's too late for the Queen to hold him accountable. The siblings are going to the battlefield together today, and the Queen can't even try to vent her anger on her brother. ”
Lord Ji was startled and turned around, frowning: "What did you say?!"
"Sir, I'm not talking nonsense. The Sheng army is going on an expedition today, and the emperor is probably seeing him off outside the city right now."
Hearing this, Ji Xili was also startled: "Mrs. Hou, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true... I can still..."
Before Mrs. Hou finished speaking, Ji Xubai, who was lying on the bed here, coughed and gradually woke up. He was holding the bed quilt under him with his hands, as if he wanted to get up.
Lord Ji saw him and hurried over to help him, "Xu Bai, why are you up? Are you thirsty?"
Ji Xubai coughed and shook his head. He didn't know where the strength came from. He pressed Marquis Ji's hand hard and forced himself to get up from the couch. He slowly opened his eyes, slowly feeling weak and painful. respite.
"Xu Bai, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Ji Xili felt distressed after seeing his brother in this state.
She remembered that during the four years in Beige, no matter how much suffering Ji Xubai suffered, he had never been like this at this moment, as if he had been tortured both physically and mentally, but still could not find relief.
"Take me outside the city." Ji Xubai still said this clearly.
When Lord Ji heard this, he immediately refused: "No, the doctor said you can't stand the wind lately, you can't go!"
Lord Ji knew that Ji Xubai was going to see Wen Zhigu off. That would have been the case in the past. Now that Ji Xubai was so seriously injured, how could he just run out to find Wen Zhigu...
However, Ji Xubai's next tone was more firm and calm, "Then I will go by myself."
After that, Ji Xubai endured the severe pain and slowly got off the bed.
That determined move meant that he had to crawl to meet people outside the city.
Lord Ji was heartbroken and helpless, and finally waved his hand and asked the people below to help the second young master Ji. He helped him sit on the wooden wheelchair and pushed him out. After getting on the carriage, Ji Xili took the initiative to follow him. And he said to Lord Ji: "Don't worry, Dad, I will bring Xu Bai back when I meet someone."
"Tell your brother to put on his cloak. The doctor said he shouldn't be exposed to the wind."
"Okay, I get it."
The carriage slowly drove out of Ji Mansion.
Ji Xubai sat on the carriage, coughing and urging the driver, "Hurry up."
"Second Young Master, this is already going very fast. Your body can't withstand such a jolt."
"It's okay, just hurry up." After finishing speaking, Ji Xubai couldn't help coughing violently, and his voice became hoarse.
