At noon the next day, "He Tian" who had been sleeping all day and night finally slowly opened his eyes.
"Madam? Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Aunt Xu stayed there all day. In the middle of the night, she couldn't hold it any longer, so she went outside and sat on a chair and squinted for a long time.
Early in the morning, without waiting for the maid to greet her, Nanny Xu got up again and continued to stay in front of the bed.
When Kang Mo and his wife were away, Aunt Xu would lean into her wife's ear and say repeatedly: "Madam, please wake up quickly. For no other reason than for Brother Yuan, you can't
Just let go!"
"The young master is still young. He is only five years old this year. A child without his own mother is so pitiful!"
"I know you want Sanniang to marry Lord Marquis. It's better to have this aunt as your stepmother than an outsider!"
"But, my silly madam, no matter how close you are, you can't compare to your own mother."
"Madam, madam, please, you must survive this disaster!"
After talking a lot, it might actually be useful. When it was about to have lunch, He Tiantian really woke up.
Aunt Xu was overjoyed. She kept asking about He Tiantian's situation, and she hurriedly urged people to notify Kang Mo and invite Master Huitong.
"...The pulse condition is not bad, and I can support my return to the capital!"
Master Huitong took his pulse carefully and was silent for a moment. Then he followed Kang Mo to the outside and whispered.
What does "return to the capital with support" mean?
Is this good news?
Nanny Xu felt weak at her feet, her vision turned black, and she almost fell to the ground.
However, after thinking about it, it would be better for my wife to return to the capital and do anything else than to die in this temple.
But, but...is Madam really hopeless this time?
Aunt Xu's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Master Huitong pleadingly.
On Kang Mo's side, no matter what progress he and He Yi made last night, at this moment, after just visiting He Tiantian and seeing his wife's frail but still beautiful appearance, he couldn't help recalling the memories of their marriage.
of various kinds.
A young couple plays the piano and the harp in harmony.
He once painted his wife's eyebrows, and she once washed her hands and made soup for him.
The two also have a smart and lovely child.
The most important thing is that his wife was injured like this just to save him.
It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are kind. In fact, for Comer, he suddenly realized that his wife was really dying, and he began to beautify her in various ways.
Now when he closes his eyes, all he can think of are all the benefits of his wife and the deep love between him and his wife.
After sending Master Huitong away with a sad face, Kang Mo went to report back to Mrs. Tai and began to discuss returning to Beijing.
I have to go back.
Mr. He may die at any time. As a husband, Comer cannot let his beloved wife die outside.
In addition, there was an assassination yesterday. The guards killed most of the assassins, but left two or three alive.
From yesterday afternoon until this morning, Comer and the guards took turns to torture him, and finally pried open his mouth.
It turns out that those assassins are remnants of the previous dynasty, secretly operating power among the people in the name of gods and Buddhas.
Last year, the so-called "Snow Lotus Virgin" incited a group of bandits who turned into bandits, robbed passing merchants, tortured the local people, and almost attacked the government office.
The news reached the capital, and the emperor was furious. It happened that Duke Kang Mo of Wei was returning from the southwest with his troops, and according to the plan, they would pass through this place.
The emperor then issued an edict, ordering Kang Mo to go along the way to suppress the bandits.
Comer's soldiers and horses had just returned from the battlefield. When they were at their most powerful and ferocious, they went to that place and not only wiped out all the bandits, but also took out an important stronghold of the "Snow Lotus Virgin".
Comer has always been decisive in killing, and he has never been merciful to these remnants of the previous dynasty.
He wasn't done killing people yet, he actually followed the clues and found the traces of a group of remnants of the previous dynasty headed by the "Snow Lotus Virgin".
Kang Mo reported everything to the emperor, and the emperor dispatched his personal bodyguards, the Jinlin Guards, to investigate and capture the remaining forces.
In just a few months, the power of the "Snow Lotus Virgin" was greatly reduced. She and several former royal families fled the Central Plains in a hurry and ran to the wild lands of the southwest.
This group of remnants of the previous dynasty already had a certain amount of power, but they ended up running away in a hurry.
The person they hate first is naturally the emperor of this dynasty.
However, as for Comer, the "executioner", they also recorded him in the little black book.
No, the Snow Lotus Virgin and others had just established a foothold in the southwest frontier, and they were thinking of revenge.
The palace cannot be entered, and the emperor is surrounded by the Jinlin Guards, who are all-pervasive and have vast magical powers.
Our Lady of the Snow Lotus then aimed her arrows of revenge at Comer, a bastard and a coward.
In order to ensure a sure hit, they even smeared a snake venom unique to southern Xinjiang on the arrowheads.
The poison is so severe that the injured will surely die if he does not take more than a hundred steps.
"He Tian" also has a great destiny and met Master Huitong who was good at difficult and complicated diseases.
Master Huitong helped detoxify and expel the venom from the body.
However, even so, "He Tian's" body was completely damaged.
Unless a god is alive, the best outcome for her is to live a few more days.
The situation of Mrs. Wei Guogong is not a secret. The other female relatives staying in the guest rooms of Qingyun Temple have also heard about it.
Jiuniang from the Yan family, the Minister of Rites, had just finished eating the temple's unique vegetarian meal when she heard her grandmother and mother whispering gossip about the Duke of Wei's palace.
"Oh, Mr. He is indeed pitiful. Such a virtuous woman cannot live long!"
Mrs. Yan sighed softly while fidgeting with the Buddhist beads.
She was widowed at a young age and raised four sons and two daughters by herself.
The sons are all very promising. The eldest son is a minister in the Ministry of Rites. The second son, the third son and the youngest son all also serve as officials in the court.
When the great scholars of the time mentioned this lady of the Yan family, they would give her a thumbs up and praise her as a model of chastity, quietness, integrity, and a good wife and mother.
The Queen Mother, the Empress and other nobles in the palace also respected this old man very much.
Every time there was a banquet held in the palace, she could sit in the front row.
Mrs. Yan's wife is the most well-behaved and does not get carried away and frivolous because of the favor of the nobles.
On the contrary, she disciplined her children and grandchildren even more strictly, and her daughter and grandchildren were also raised in a well-behaved manner.
Jiu Niang, the most favored girl, may be a bit extravagant in private, but in front of others, she is definitely a quiet and elegant lady from a famous family.
Therefore, it is not easy to get a word of praise from Mrs. Yan's wife.
From this we can also see how rare it is for He Tiantian to sacrifice her life to save her husband.
Probably based on this alone, she can become the object of admiration among the nobles in Beijing!
"However, Wei Guogong is also a good man with love and righteousness!"
After the madam sighed, she changed the topic with a look of approval on her face: "I just heard the noise outside, so I ordered someone to go out and inquire about it, and then I found out that it was someone from the Duke of Wei who was preparing to return to Beijing!"
"This Kang Mo, in order to make He feel more comfortable, he ordered people to pack up the carriage, and went to Master Huitong to ask for good medicine... It's so busy!"
When Mrs. Yan heard her mother-in-law's words, she couldn't help but nod, "The Duke of Wei and his wife have always been very affectionate. It's probably because the Duke of Wei is usually kind to his wife. In critical moments, the Duke and his wife would risk their lives to save her!"
"Yes, that's the truth. Husband and wife support and respect each other..." The madam looked at her daughter-in-law with great satisfaction.
This is the truth. A wife sacrifices her life to save her husband. It is true that the wife is virtuous and kind, but more likely it is because the husband and wife have a deep relationship and the husband is good to his wife. This is why——
Hearing what her grandmother and mother said, Yan Jiuniang's expression was a little strange.
She opened her mouth to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she swallowed them hard.
However, she felt uncomfortable burying the secret in her heart.
After struggling for a long time, finally, hearing that the people from Wei Guogong's mansion were about to leave, Yan Jiuniang took advantage of the crowd and squeezed closer.
Seeing the frail but beautiful Mrs. Wei Guogong being carefully carried into the carriage, Yan Jiuniang prayed countless times in her heart: "Madam, Duke of Wei, you must be well. Those two bitches are looking forward to your death, you must not die!"
"
Just living like this, even if you are just hanging on for a breath, you have to stand in front of those bitches and make them worry, so that they can only be like a pair of rats in the ditch, never seeing the light of day!
