"The beauty's smile originated in the deep mountains in the southwest. This time, not only the gold ointment from the capital and town of the state will be banned, but the Lord Hou also wants to cut off this thing from the source. He never wanted to make trouble with the tribes in the southwest villages. Three days ago, the Lord Hou brought People were besieged, half of the guards around him died, and the rest of the people and Lord Hou were missing. The news came back from the southwest, and it didn't arrive in the palace until dawn. His Majesty concealed the matter and ordered Ning Xiao to take people to Southwest rescue, Ning Xiao came today to let me know."
After Fu Gonggong finished speaking worriedly, the panic in his eyes could not be concealed. Standing beside him, Bo Ruoyou felt a pain in his chest for a moment. No wonder he hadn't received a letter from Huo Weilou in the past few days!
"But... Deputy Commander Ning is rushing to the southwest at this moment, and it will take ten days at least, how can I make it in time?" Bo Ruoyou said, her voice was hoarse, her fingertips were numb, and she seemed to have lost three souls and seven souls.
Eunuch Fu was not much better than her, he frowned and said: "This is the best policy, we can only drive through the night, but we can't count on Ning Xiao, we have to save ourselves in the southwest."
He glanced at Bo Ruoyou, and didn't know whether to say it to himself or to her, "Master Hou has never seen any storms in the past twenty years. Although there is some crisis this time, it's just a small scene. It's not a problem. Say it." Maybe Master Hou has escaped now, but the news spread slowly, we will not know until a few days later."
But Bo Ruoyou couldn't lie to herself, Huo Weilou had always acted in a very orderly manner, and he was quite vigorous and decisive. He could not make any mistakes in ordinary tolerances, but once an accident happened, it was by no means a trivial matter.
Throat is sour, Bo Ruoyou looks at the boundless sky in autumn today, but the bottom of her heart feels like frost is falling in the cold weather of Lajiu, "Deputy Commander Ning is leaving now and going south?"
Eunuch Fu nodded, "No delay, I'm going out of the city right now."
Bo Ruoyou clenched her hands tightly in front of her body, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, not to mention that the capital city is thousands of miles away to the southwest, even if Huo Weilou is right in front of her eyes, a little girl like her can't help much.
Seeing her solemn expression, Eunuch Fu couldn't help explaining: "You You don't have to worry too much, those people are local snakes, but in fact they are just a mob. Even if Hou Ye encounters a moment of danger, it will not be fatal."
Bo Ruoyou has never been to the Southwest, but I have heard that the Southwest is full of dangerous peaks and mountains, where the swamps are densely covered with poisonous miasma, and many tribes and villages have lived in seclusion for generations. , is not easily broken.
She took a deep breath, "Yes, Master Hou will be fine."
These words were also comforting himself. When the two of them settled down and entered the door, Huo Qinghong also noticed something was wrong. Looking at the expressions of the two, he asked again: "What is Ning Xiao doing in the mansion at this time? Eldest brother is in the southwest. News?"
Eunuch Fu was at a loss for words for a while, and Bo Ruoyou pursed his lips without saying a word, Huo Qinghong's complexion suddenly changed slightly, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Eunuch Fu still wanted to prevaricate, Bo Ruoyou said: "Master Hou was attacked in the southwest, and his whereabouts are unknown now, Deputy Commander Ning will go south of the city today to help Master Hou."
Huo Qinghong was leaning on the guiding pillow, but when he heard this, he sat up straight, "What?"
Bo Ruoyou didn't say any more, Eunuch Fu sighed, "That's right, the news was delivered to His Majesty at dawn—"
"How could it be? My elder brother was attacked in the southwest?"
Eunuch Fu told the situation in the Southwest again, Huo Qinghong still couldn't believe it, "Those mountain people can also trap my elder brother? I... I want to enter the palace, I want to see His Majesty!"
Eunuch Fu said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty deliberately concealed this matter, so your son doesn't have to go to the palace to inquire, and no matter how anxious we are in the capital, we can't help you to the southwest. It's better for your son to treat his illness well."
Huo Qinghong was stunned for a moment, then his body tensed up, "Brother, he has experienced many battles, he will definitely be fine, definitely not..."
Cheng Yunzhi didn't expect Huo Weilou to have an accident in the southwest, so he frowned tightly. He looked at Bo Ruoyou, and seeing that she was really panicked, he also sighed, "The mountain people in the southwest area are good at using poison. , there are also some earthen armor, which are not as easy to deal with as ordinary villagers, and the Marquis may be trapped because of this."
Huo Qinghong clenched his fists and looked at Eunuch Fu, "Eunuch, I also want to go to the southwest!"
Eunuch Fu sighed, "What is your son going to the Southwest? Now that Lord Hou has had an accident, don't let us worry about him."
Huo Qinghong hesitated to speak, but thought that he was useless, so he lowered his head dejectedly. Cheng Yunzhi put away the medical box, and then went to ask Eunuch Fu, "Is the eldest princess safe in the near future?"
Eunuch Fu hurriedly replied, "Mr. Please bear in mind that the past few days were not very good. After drinking the medicine these days, I feel calmer."
Cheng Yunzhi said conveniently: "Youyou mentioned it to me, and I also said that Master Hou came back to the mansion to ask for the eldest princess' pulse. It's fine now that she is well. If she gets sick again in the past few days, you can ask someone to come and find me at home."
Eunuch Fu thanked him naturally, "When the illness was at its worst, the Eldest Princess suffered a lot, but she is much better these days."
Cheng Yunzhi was slightly relieved, "It's okay if you just forget the past, I'm afraid that you will go crazy all the year round and it will really damage your body."
Fu Gonggong should be, and Bo Ruoyou came back to his senses and thought about it too. If the eldest princess just can't remember things clearly, or has lost her memory, it's okay to be coaxed by her servants all day long, but she is now insane. Crazy but too self-destructive.
When the father and daughter left the Marquis' Mansion, Bo Ruoyou still had serious eyes and got on the carriage. Cheng Yunzhi comforted him: "Marquis Wu Zhao can't be easily turned to the southwest, so don't scare yourself."
Bo Ruoyou felt his hands and feet were a little cold, "Father, don't worry, I know."
"Calm down and wait for the news, auspicious people have their own aura."
Bo Ruoyou responded, but still felt the weight of the stone on her heart was a little breathless, and when she got home, she was still a little taciturn, Cheng Yunzhi sighed, but didn't try to persuade her.
At dinner time, Bo Ruoyou's expression returned to normal, and he helped Cheng Yunzhi write the prescription to be sent to the sick camp in the south of the city. There are a lot of patients in the sick camp, and they all have different symptoms. Cheng Yunzhi often goes to the sick camp now, They also read more, so the prescriptions were replaced very quickly, helping for half an hour before Bo Ruoyou went to rest.
Early the next morning, Bo Ruoyou rushed to Yingmao, the yamen. When he arrived at the yamen, he saw someone who should not have appeared in the yamen. It was Hu Changqing who was waiting outside the guard room of the yamen. Uncomfortable, but it was the first time to take the initiative to greet him, Bo Ruoyou looked him up and down for a moment, "Have you cured the poison caused by Hu Yu?"
Hu Changqing shook his head, under Bo Ruoyou's gaze, he didn't know where to put his hands, "I haven't finished the solution yet, I'm still in the Chengnan Infirmary, and I also help out on a daily basis, today I'm... I'm here to plead of."
Bo Ruoyou looked puzzled, and Hu Changqing said bitterly: "Because of the sabotage before, and the delay of the errand due to poisoning, according to the rules of the yamen, you have to be dismissed. In the past two months, the adults were tolerant, but now I am addicted to drugs. I haven't completely quit yet, and my lord wants to help me a little bit, but I can't tolerate it, but...but I still want to give my lord some more time."
Bo Ruoyou didn't know what to say for a while, at this moment, Sun Zhao followed Wu Xiang out of the back hall, and seeing Hu Changqing, Sun Zhao sighed, "Little Hu, I will give you another month at most, everyone in the yamen will look at it." It's always like this and it's not good."
Hu Changqing was overjoyed immediately, and thanked again and again, because he had to return to the Chengnan Infirmary, he said goodbye and left soon. Wu Xiang looked at his back and sighed, "After this incident, his temper has become more stable."
Sun Zhao was a little helpless, "I used to be a bit unwilling to be an office worker, but now I know that I have an errand in the yamen." Then he stared at Wu Xiang, "You can look at him, the drug addiction of this gold ointment is not good. Quit it, don't make any mistakes again."
Wu Xiang quickly agreed, Sun Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou, hesitant to speak in his eyes, seeing him like this, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help remembering that Sun Zhao's expression was wrong when he looked at her the day before yesterday, and she moved slightly in her heart, "Is your lord? Do you know something happened in Southwest?"
Sun Zhao showed surprise, and Bo Ruoyou said, "I went to the Hou Mansion yesterday."
Suddenly, Sun Zhao glanced around again, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou went to the southwest this time, and many people were frightened by the thunderous tactics, and the timid ones surrendered early in the morning, but some of them regard this business as their lifeblood. Yes, but you want to be that desperado, as long as I know, Lord Hou has encountered several waves of assassinations."
Bo Ruoyou's heart was filled with a cold suffocation again, and there was a slight sadness in his brows and eyes, but he just said: "Master Hou must be a lucky man."
She was much calmer than Sun Zhao imagined, so he calmed down a few more words, and talked about the case of the nunnery with Wu Xiang. Neat, one of them knows more about the Liu family because she is favored by the second master of the Liu family, and she said something that surprised me."
Bo Ruoyou looked at Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang said: "She said that the lady of the Liu family was expelled from the family tree a few years ago."
"She was kicked out of the family tree a few years ago?" Bo Ruoyou was very surprised, "But this time the incident happened only in May last year, why did she get kicked out of the family tree a few years ago? She is the only one in the fifth household of the Liu family. blood."
Wu Xiang shook her head, "I don't know about it, I have to verify whether it is true or not, I plan to go to Liu's house later, do you want to go with me?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded naturally, and she couldn't help but stare in thought. At first, when she guessed that Shuiyuean and Liu's family had a dirty connection, she and Wu Xiang both suspected that Liu Yao's accident might be related to several cousins, but later they learned that Liu's family was in trouble. Only the second master is good at this. Since not everyone in the Liu family is a shameless person, the earlier guess was a little bit rude.
Now knowing that Liu Yao was expelled from the family tree many years ago, Bo Ruoyou had a thought in his heart.
When Wu Xiang ordered people to prepare the horses, Bo Ruoyou walked out of the yamen together with him. When they got to the carriage, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking Wu Xiang, "Captain, if our guess earlier is true?" Yes, is it possible that Liu Yao is not from the blood of the Liu family?"
