Brought here just to set off river lanterns
As if juggling, he took out a river lantern from his pocket and lit it in his hand.
Seeing that she was still in a daze, King Xu suddenly smiled, his jade-like pupils reflected the starlight in the sky, so bright that people couldn't move their eyes away.
"Why, didn't you let go of the river lantern?"
Yu Linglong was at a loss for words, could she say that she really didn't let it go? This kind of girly behavior has never been her style.
Carefully placing the river lantern in his hand in the water, gently pushing with his slender fingers, the cluster of bright and warm rays of light rippled with the river, and gradually moved away from them.
Yu Linglong felt that the lotus lantern in her hand was as light as a feather, but as warm as the thickest woolen blanket. The next moment, her hand was held by a warmer hand.
Xu Wang led her hand and put the lotus lantern in the water together.
"I heard that if you make a wish when you release the river lanterns, your deceased relatives will help you realize it."
In the darkness, his voice was as mellow as old wine, but it seemed to be slightly sad.
Yu Linglong knew that setting off the river lanterns was to commemorate the deceased relatives, but would King Xu feel sad for the deceased relatives? Who was he mourning for
The hazy light gradually faded away, and her beautiful profile was reflected in the dark river water, like a fairy relegated to the mortal world, agile and enchanting.
"You... who are you missing?" Hesitantly asked, Yu Linglong couldn't help but care about him.
King Xu was startled slightly, his eyelids slowly drooping, covering his radiant eyes.
As soon as Yu Linglong said the words, she felt a little regretful, she immediately turned her head and added: "If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Unexpectedly, King Xu said softly, "I'm thinking of my concubine mother."
Yu Linglong had never heard about the royal family of this dynasty. She only knew that Xu Wang was the ninth prince, but she didn't know that his biological mother was not a queen. She never thought that such a free and flamboyant Xu Wang would also be a An orphan without a mother.
A familiar feeling arises spontaneously, revealing a softness in Yu Linglong's heart that has been dusty for many years.
It's just that she is not good at comforting people, let alone how to continue this topic.
The river flowed slowly, pushing the two river lanterns farther and farther away, and the faces of the two people on the river bank became more and more blurred.
After a long time, Yu Linglong opened her mouth jerky and changed the topic just now: "Well... what should I do if I have a lot of wishes?"
Xu Wang chuckled in the darkness: "I didn't expect you to be such a greedy person."
Taking out a large stack of folded river lanterns from his arms, King Xu's voice sounded much lighter: "Is this enough?"
Even Yu Linglong's eyes widened in surprise, "What are you doing with so many river lanterns?"
Looking at her big sparkling eyes, Xu Wang couldn't help stretching out his fingers and scratching the tip of her nose: "Of course it's to satisfy you, a greedy little girl."
No one has ever acted so intimately towards her, Yu Linglong only felt two hot blushes rising from the base of her ears, fortunately it was dark, so she didn't have to worry about being seen by him.
Unnaturally moving her body, Yu Linglong intentionally distanced herself from him, and her voice unwittingly regained her distance: "Then let's go."
Sensing her indifference, King Xu moved slightly and hesitated for a moment, but he still didn't say anything.
One after another, colorful river lanterns were lit, and one after another left the river bank, and the night gradually became brighter.
After being silent for a long time, King Xu suddenly said, "Look!"
Yu Linglong looked up, and saw that at the upper reaches of the Dinghui River, countless river lanterns of various sizes and sizes floated up at some point, meandering down the river, gradually blending with the river lanterns they set up. Converging together, the whole river is decorated like the Milky Way in the sky, brilliant and bright as day.
Yu Linglong sighed softly, "It's so beautiful."
Such a beautiful scene was like a dream, like a fairyland, and the two of them stood silently by the river bank, almost forgetting everything around them.
Time seems to be stagnant at this moment, an instant is eternity.
…
More than half a month has passed in a flash, the weather has gradually turned cold, Madam Yu's condition has not improved, but has become increasingly serious, since General Yu does not have to go to southern Xinjiang for the time being, and Mu family does not have so many things to arrange, so he goes to pay respects from time to time. Shantang put on a show.
Mrs. Yu's illness is not getting better, Mrs. Mu seems to be very anxious, and changed a few doctors, all of them said that they are depressed, depressed, and need to rest, so Mrs. Mu used this as an excuse to not allow everyone to go To bother Mrs. Yu, of course, except for Yu Linglong, everyone else is still giving her this lady face.
Even Yu Qianyun would only go to the Jingshan Hall to say hello when Madam Yu sent someone to invite her over. The rest of the time, she followed other sisters and Liu Gong people to learn the rules, which was very quiet and peaceful.
In Jingshan Hall, when Yu Linglong was around, Mrs. Mu would consciously bid farewell to Mrs. Yu and leave. Even in the days when she was not around, she ordered the kitchen to make some soup for Mrs. Yu every day. The nourishing medicinal material of water, in the eyes of everyone, this daughter-in-law of Mrs. Mu is sincerely looking forward to Mrs. Yu's speedy recovery.
Different from Mu's high-profile concern, Aunt Dong guarded Mrs. Yu's side day and night, with no clothes off, whether it was soup or medicine, they were all fed to Mrs. Yu with her own hands, and even the maids Yinghan and Ningshuang couldn't interfere go.
But under the care and care of so many people, Mrs. Yu's body is still not getting better, and even her spirit is getting weaker and weaker. She sleeps longer and longer all day long, but wakes up less and less.
Seeing this, Yu Linglong couldn't help being very anxious, and sent people to find out where there are doctors with good medical skills, hoping to invite Madam Yu to treat her.
Even after inviting a few, they all had the same rhetoric as the previous doctor, and the prescriptions they prescribed were also quite different. Yu Linglong was restless and refused to go anywhere. Even Shi Huiru came to invite her twice, but she flatly refused. .
On this day, Yu Linglong was sitting in the room, when Ma Changgeng's family came in excitedly, and said: "Miss, I have invited a doctor, do you want to show it to the old lady?"
After tossing around for a while, Yu Linglong felt a little discouraged, and said casually, "What doctor is it?"
Ma Chang said to the family: "Your servant said, miss, don't scold your servant. He is a barefoot doctor in the village of your servant. He is good at using various folk remedies to cure diseases. The mother-in-law of this servant has heart palpitations, which has not healed for more than ten years. A while ago, he got a few needles and prescribed prescriptions twice, and he is much better now. The servant girl thought, let him show the old lady boldly, maybe he will really be good!"
Yu Linglong thought for a while, then said, "Let him try."
I have invited so many doctors to see that it is not good, and even the imperial doctor can't help it. Maybe the folk remedies may have some effect.
Yu Linglong sighed slightly, she really went to the doctor in a hurry.
The next day, the doctor came to Yufu with a medicine box on his back, and Ma Changgeng's family led him into Pinlanyuan: "Miss, this is the Mr. Huang that the servant said yesterday."
Yu Linglong looked up, and saw that this person was wearing a long gown that was old and not old, but it was very neat and tidy, with a few sparse beards on his fair face, showing a bit of a bookish look.
Presumably, he had never seen such a wealthy family. Mr. Huang had a few drops of sweat on his forehead, and he looked very nervous.
Yu Linglong sized him up a few times, then nodded lightly: "Linger, take him to Jingshan Hall."
Ling'er motioned for Mr. Huang to come out with her, and said politely, "Mr. please take care of me."
Mr. Huang hurriedly said: "Don't dare, dare not, the young one must do his best."
Mr. Huang followed Linger out the door, and when he stepped over the threshold, he lifted up his long gown, revealing the clothes inside.
Yu Linglong was drinking tea with her head down, but she caught a glimpse of a corner of Mr. Huang's clothes out of the corner of her eyes, and she saw a pattern that seemed familiar to her.
The heart suddenly became alert.
093 Poisoned
On Mr. Huang's shirt, there is a small lotus flower. The simple and clear lines outline the layers of petals, which rise up like a flame.
This is the secret note of Qinglian Sect that Feng Xuanyuan told her before she rescued Gan Lin.
The hand holding the teacup paused, Yu Linglong watched Mr. Huang's leaving back, but still didn't speak.
Could it be that Mr. Huang, a barefoot doctor with no good looks, has anything to do with Qinglian Sect
Burying this doubt in her heart, Yu Linglong gently put down the teacup.
About half an hour later, Linger came back with Mr. Huang.
"Miss, Mr. Huang has already treated the old lady."
Yu Linglong nodded, looked Mr. Huang up and down several times, and asked calmly, "The old lady's illness can be cured?"
Mr. Huang has been lowering his head deeply since he entered the room, not knowing what he was thinking, but now he heard Yu Linglong asking him, as if he just came back to his senses, he raised his head.
His expression was very strange, his brows were tightly frowned, his eyes hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but dared not say it, with a look of uncertainty.
Yu Linglong keenly sensed that something was wrong, she waved her hand to signal the others to go out, then asked again in a deep voice: "How is the old lady's illness?"
Mr. Huang clasped the medicine box tightly with both hands, seemed to be very nervous, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Miss Si, although my medical skills are not very good, but I am not a person who seeks fame. The old lady's disease, let me look at it." … something doesn't look right."
Yu Linglong raised her eyebrows: "Why, isn't it an old illness?"
