Yesterday, her son came home with a very pale face, which frightened her so much that she almost asked for a doctor. After knowing the reason, she was speechless. Didn’t he only eat more than 30 taels? Her son had saved a lot of money!
Liu Yuanbo: "Yeah."
He deeply regretted his action, but it was too late to regret it now.
After seeing that there was more than one uncle, Liu Yuanbo looked up at the sky. There was not only his uncle, but also his brother-in-law. The Zhou family had quite a few brothers-in-law.
At Zhou's house, Ling'er finally arrived in the capital. Zhulan held her little grandson in her arms. "This child has suffered a lot along the way. Look how thin he is."
They had been waiting since they received the letter. Later, when a flood broke out, Zhulan was worried and sent someone to pick up Ling'er. A few days later, a letter was sent back to the capital. Only when she knew that Ling'er was safe did she feel relieved.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong sent the child away early and did not encounter the flood. The reason it took so long to arrive in the capital was because the child was still young.
Ming Ling didn't feel that he had lost weight. "Grandma, I eat well every day."
Zhulan, "Mingling is so good."
Yuyi also feels sorry for her younger brother. Yujiao has not been naughty these days, and the two sisters miss their younger brother very much.
Mrs. Li couldn't stand a skinny child. She wanted a plump child to be healthy. "I'll give Ming Ling some good nourishment. He must be plump and white before autumn."
Zhao smiled and said, "Then the third brother's wife will definitely be grateful to the eldest sister-in-law."
She and her third sister-in-law correspond frequently. Their sons are about the same age, and her third sister-in-law always complains that Ming Ling eats a lot but is not fat.
Li, "Mom, if you feel comfortable, let Ming Ling live in the big house for a few days. I will definitely give you a fat grandson."
Zhu Lan looked down at Ming Ling and said, "He will live in the main courtyard first, until Ming Ling gets familiar with the house."
Ming Ling is a child. He was still young when he came back last time. Now he is unfamiliar with everything and needs some time to get familiar with home.
Li, "Mother is really thoughtful."
Zhulan said to Ming Ling: "You still have a few brothers in the academy. You will be able to meet them after school. I will let the sisters take you to get familiar with the house later."
Ming Ling nodded, "Yeah."
Zhulan smiled. The child was thin and small, but he adapted quite quickly.
Yuyi took her younger brother out for a walk. The little guy was curious about everything. Yuyi felt soft-hearted when she listened to her younger brother's questions.
Zhulan waited for her daughters-in-law to leave and wrote back to Mrs. Dong. After writing the letter, she sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on in Qizhou. There has been no news from Qizhou recently."
In Qizhou, Mrs. Dong saw her husband frowning, "Aren't there enough medicinal materials? Why are you still worried?"
Chang Lian rubbed his legs. "During the flood, many livestock died in the water because they didn't have time to escape. Recently, the soldiers have been fishing out the bodies, but they are also human beings. They are already very tired from doing their work non-stop. Now people are needed everywhere, and there are not enough people in the city."
“Why not use refugees if you don’t have enough manpower?”
Chang Lian, "Some of the refugees are already sick, and the prefect is afraid that the refugees will be infected again if they retrieve animal carcasses, so he didn't use the refugees."
Floods mean disease, and the people in the city are afraid and unwilling to help, which is really worrying.
Mrs. Dong pressed her husband's forehead and said, "Everything will work out when the time comes."
Chang Lian nodded, "Yeah."
Mrs. Dong added, "According to the date, my son should be arriving in the capital."
Speaking of her son, she was thankful that she sent him away in a timely manner, otherwise, floods would have hit various states one after another, and she would have gone crazy if her son had stayed in a flooded state.
Chang Lian's brows relaxed a lot. Without the children around to worry about them, he and his wife could rest assured, "It should be here."
At this time, the yamen runner came in and said, "Sir, the prefect wants to see you urgently."
Chang Lian stood up and said to his wife, "I will go to the government office first, you don't have to worry at home."
Dong said, "You should also pay attention to your legs."
Chang Lian indicated that he knew, and only when he arrived at the prefecture did he know what had happened. He asked in disbelief, "The granary was burned?"
He asked why he saw thick smoke in the sky, and it turned out to be the granary.
The prefect held his brow and said, "Someone deliberately set fire to the granary."
Chang Lian cursed inwardly, "Damn it, who is so bold? And isn't the granary heavily guarded?"
The refugees in the state capital depend on the granary for food. Now that the granary has been burned, what should be done with the refugees’ food
The prefect scowled. "We have already sent people to grab the food. I didn't go over to watch. No matter how much food we can grab now, the news of the burning granary will surely spread throughout the state tomorrow. We have to think about how to suppress the panic of the refugees."
Chang Lian felt that the situation was very difficult. "We need to gather the soldiers to defend the city now to prevent anyone from getting hurt in the chaos tomorrow."
The prefect said, "I have sent someone to look for General Liu."
In the mountain village, Xue Han woke up at night. Her stomach hurt every time she moved. She felt the baby was still there, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Xue Han turned her head and saw Rong Chuan beside her, and couldn't help but shed tears. Their family of three was fine and no one had left.
The female guard at the door heard the noise in the room and rushed in, "Princess, you're awake."
Xue Han's voice was a little hoarse, "Well, how is the King of Qin's injury?"
The female assassin replied while checking the prince's pulse, "Your Highness's injuries have stabilized. He needs to recuperate for a few days before he can continue on his journey."
Xue Han touched her stomach and felt it cramping. "How's the baby?"
The female assassin said, "The child is saved, but the princess will have to lie down for a few days before she can get up."
Xue Han was a little hungry, blood flashed through her brain, and her stomach churned. In the end, she forced herself to eat some soup for the sake of the child. Not long after she drank the medicine, her eyelids started to droop.
The leader of the death squad was worried. The journey back to the capital was not easy. The killing would not stop until the King of Qin was dead. The King of Qin and his wife could not stand the fast pace. The leader looked at the small mountain village and thought this was not a place to stay for long.
The news that Rongchuan was stabbed and seriously injured was sent to the capital through special channels at the fastest speed. Rongchuan had already left the small mountain village.
The emperor looked at the news in his hand and said, "Damn it."
Rongchuan went to the southernmost part and it took him some time to get back to Beijing, but he was still very far away from the capital, and the news took too long to reach the capital.
The emperor has the information. These people are very good. He remembers every detail about them and will slaughter them sooner or later.
The prince was relieved to know that his uncle was fine, and hesitantly said, "Grandpa Emperor is still waiting for news from my uncle."
Recently, the Empress Dowager has been ill because she was worried about her uncle.
The emperor wanted to conceal the news, but he didn't dare. Don't think that your father will not punish him just because he doesn't care. If he dares to conceal the news, your father will definitely punish him.
The emperor handed the message in his hand to the prince, "Besides your uncle, your grandfather likes you the most. You can deliver it!"
Prince, “!!”
He is really his father. He didn’t dare to send it over himself and asked him to deliver the message. He also didn’t want to face the angry emperor!
"I need to think about how to safely bring your uncle back to Beijing. You go ahead."
The prince said, "... No, Father, I think so."
"Um?"
"It's okay, son, I'll deliver the message right away."
The emperor was satisfied and said, "Spend more time with your grandfather recently."
Prince, "..."
