The carriage was on the road almost day and night.
Apart from buying some food in the city to eat back in the car, we didn’t stop any more.
After traveling day and night, we finally arrived in the capital in the early morning three days later.
After arriving in the capital, Nalan Jinnian got off the carriage outside the gate of Shichang Bo Mansion.
At this time, the sun has not risen yet, the warmth has just woken up, and the hair is a little messy.
Nalan Jinnian helped her straighten out her messy hairpin: "I'm going to the Duke Protector's Mansion. Remember to leave my food for lunch."
"..." Why do these words sound so much like what a husband said to his wife.
Nuan Nuan's face is a little red.
But Nalan Jinnian had never said this before.
It sounded like she didn't think anything was wrong before, so how could she think so much now
The warmth drove away the inexplicable thoughts in my heart, and I nodded obediently: "Okay."
At this time, a cold wind blew by, and the fur collar on the cloak made her nose itchy.
"Sneeze!" Wen Nuan couldn't help but sneeze.
In the morning of late autumn and early winter, the sun has not yet risen, and the cool breeze is blowing, making it very chilly.
Nalan Jinnian touched her little hand. The soft little hand no longer had the warmth he had held in his hand just now in the carriage.
The slender fingertips were cold.
With his other hand, he helped her gather her cloak: "Hurry in! It's windy here."
Nuan Nuan shrank his hand.
Her father and eldest brother are also there!
She turned around and glanced. Fortunately, several people were directing the servants to move and salute, so she didn't look over.
"I'm going in. Go see the old man! If you need anything, you can come to me." Wen Nuan waved his hand and ran in quickly.
Nalan Jinnian also had something to do, so he told Wen Jiarui and left in a hurry.
Wen Nuan's family has little contact with the Duke Protector's Palace, so it's not easy to visit him rashly. Although Wen Nuan is Mr. Xu's apprentice, he hasn't held an apprenticeship banquet yet, and no one in the capital knows about it.
And even if you want to visit, you still need to send a post to visit Mr. Xu. But sending a post to the Xu family at this time will only make people think that you don't understand etiquette.
Lord Protector's Mansion
Old Mrs. Xu was lying on the Babu bed, looking haggard and with a lifeless look on his face.
Mr. Xu is the grandfather of the Queen Mother. He is an old man from the Duke's Mansion. He served as a soldier and protected the country all his life.
Mrs. Xu was seriously ill, and the emperor paid great attention to it.
All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital were sent for consultation, but they all failed to produce any results. Seeing that Mr. Xu was getting worse day by day, the Queen Mother became furious.
When Nalan Jinnian came in, dozens of doctors from the imperial hospital were consulting in the room.
The faces of the people in the room were solemn.
The Queen Mother sat in the main seat with a tired and anxious look on her face.
When everyone in the room saw Nalan Jinnian arriving, they quickly stood up and saluted him.
Mrs. Protector was a little worried about Nalan Jinnian. After bowing, she smiled and said, "I'll go and serve tea."
Then he walked out.
The Protector smiled at Nalan Jinnian: "Master Seventeen just came back?"
Nalan Jinnian ignored him and just saluted the Queen Mother: "Mother."
The Queen Mother saw him coming back and breathed a sigh of relief: "Your great-grandfather misses you."
"How is great-grandfather?" Nalan Jinnian sat down next to the Queen Mother. .
The Queen Mother shook her head, her face looked tired, she hadn't slept well in the past two days.
"There is no improvement. The doctors from the Imperial Hospital are consulting. Is Dr. Feng Shen here?"
"He went to the mountains to collect herbs. I have asked people to find him." Xiao Hei has already gone into the mountains to look for people, but he probably won't come back so soon.
At this time, the door opened, and dozens of doctors from the Imperial Hospital came out.
"Emperor Physician, is the Ai family's grandfather feeling better today?" the Queen Mother asked immediately.
Nalan Jinnian also looked at them.
Taiyuan Hospital took the lead and knelt down: "Back to the Queen Mother, King Jin, I and others have tried their best. The Duke is old and the wind and cold are coming fiercely. If you can't survive tonight, I'm afraid..."
He wanted to say that he was preparing for the funeral, but he didn't dare to say anything and just said: "I wonder if the people from the Divine Doctor Valley can come here tonight? I can only save the life of the old master for one night!"
The old man is old and his internal organs have deteriorated. The last emergency was so severe that it exhausted all the remaining vitality in his body. It was the old miracle doctor who saved his life!
Now it's just an ordinary wind and cold, and the old prince can't resist it. He is really old, and has reached the point where there is no way to save the day, and medicine and stone are ineffective!
This is the end of life, and it is not a disease problem. How to treat it
Unless there is a magic elixir that can restore his body to life, it is time to prepare for the funeral.
The Queen Mother's tears fell down.
When she was young, she sat on her grandfather's shoulders, and the image of her grandfather running with her all over the fields is still vivid in her mind.
More than ten years ago, he personally taught Jinnian how to ride and shoot. He took the five-year-old to fight on the battlefield and taught him how to protect his family and country.
The old Duke is over eighty years old, nearly ninety years old, which is actually rare in this dynasty.
The Queen Mother knew that such a day would come, but she still couldn't accept it.
Nalan Jinnian thought about bringing the little girl over.
"Is Ten...Seven back?" At this time, a weak voice came from the room.
The voice was hoarse and sounded weak.
Nalan Jinnian quickly strode in.
The Queen Mother wiped her tears and followed in: "Grandpa, it's Shi Qi who is back!"
Nalan Jinnian sat by the bed and held Old Mrs. Xu's hand: "Great-grandfather."
He looked at the deathly look on Old Mrs. Xu's face, and his heart sank.
"Seventeen... Just come back. Can you promise my great-grandfather something?"
"good."
"Great-grandfather is old! I wanted to see you get married and teach your children to practice martial arts, but it seems that I can't wait for that day. Can you promise great-grandfather to get married and have children as soon as possible?" Mrs. Xu said these words with difficulty.
In just a few words, he spoke for nearly half an hour.
The old man has no other wishes. The only thing he cares about is that his cold-tempered great-grandson will get married and have children as soon as possible. He must not be a broken sleeve.
Otherwise, who will inherit the power of Nalan Kingdom
This child has no one to control him, and only his own words can be heard. This is his last wish, and he knows that as long as he nods, he will definitely do it.
Nalan Jinnian's heart moved: "Okay, but she hasn't agreed to marry me yet. Great-grandfather, she knows some medical skills. I will bring her to see you. Can you let her marry me as soon as possible?"
The Queen Mother beside her: "..."
Is my son unable to deal with Nuan Nuan and starting to act rogue
But it’s good to be a rogue!
Old Mrs. Xu was slightly excited and his spirits improved a bit: "Okay! Okay!"
He closed his eyes: he could die in peace now.
etc!
Mr. Xu suddenly opened his eyes: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Nalan Jinnian: "..."
The Queen Mother burst into laughter: "Grandpa, don't worry, it's a girl. That little girl is so adorable!"
Mr. Xu felt relieved and looked even more tired: "Female, that's good! That's good!"
No wonder Mrs. Xu was worried. In the past two years, Mrs. Xu drugged Nalan Jinnian when she saw that he was not at all womanly, but it didn't break his boyish skills!
So can he not worry
Seeing him like this, Nalan Jinnian's heart sank: "I'll bring her here right now."
He stood up and strode away.
