"Young Master..." Butler Murong hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old slave, I know you are not convinced, but there is nothing you can do about it now. Why not just submit to the imperial court, while the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang are still in our hands?
I still have some capital to negotiate with the imperial court. If in the future..."
"What did you say?" Shangguan Yunyi stood up suddenly, his face even more ugly, "Uncle Murong, can we turn back now? If we turn back, what will those old men think of me? Can I mention it in front of them?
Are you here? And that Shangguan Yu, can he tolerate me?"
Butler Murong lowered his head. This was also what he was worried about, but if this continues, the Shangguan family will disappear from this world sooner or later!
"This woman Chu Yiqing relies on Li Huang. If Chu Yiqing turns against Li Huang..." Shangguan Yunyi smiled ferociously.
"Sir, this is too difficult. You have clearly seen what the Fifth Prince thinks of Miss Chu. He was not tempted by such a great opportunity to win over the Protector and form an alliance with Rao.
How can we abandon Miss Chu now? What's more, Miss Chu's power is getting stronger and stronger. I can see that even the emperor has some scruples about Miss Chu!" Butler Murong shook his head.
"Then let's take advantage of the emperor's concerns about Chu Yiqing. I don't believe that the relationship between Li Huang and Chu Yiqing is solid and there is no loophole to exploit!" Shangguan Yunyi narrowed his eyes and said decisively.
"Send someone to Shangjia Village to pay close attention to Chu Yiqing's every move. Everyone must report to me who he has met and what he has done. I don't believe it. This woman has no weaknesses!" Shangguan Yunyi ordered coldly.
Butler Murong could only nod, hoping that the young master could succeed this time, otherwise...
Chu Han, Shangjia Village, the last snow has not completely melted, but it snowed for the second time, and the weather is getting colder and colder. Because of this, A Bao suddenly developed a low fever at night, and occasionally coughed twice.
, tossing and turning, Chu Yiqing couldn't sleep well all night. He got up several times in the middle of the night and poured wine to wipe A Bao's body. Early the next morning, he invited Xu Ting over.
When I was infected with wind and cold, I prescribed decoction to cook it.
A Bao drank the decoction, but he didn't feel better. His fever became more severe and he was still sleepy during the day. Chu Yiqing couldn't care about anything at the moment and left the matter of the jar of chicken to Yingrun and Jinyu.
She devoted herself to serving Ah Bao, but after two days, she still didn't feel better. Mrs. Huangfu couldn't sit still, so she went to invite Mrs. Wang to see if she had lost her soul like last time!
Chu Yiqing also felt strange about A Bao's illness this time. She was fine when she took A Bao up the mountain a few days ago. A Bao was very strong because he had mastered internal energy and sword skills. Why did he suddenly become ill?
Although Chu Yiqing didn't believe Mrs. Wang's tricks, he saw that calling Ah Bao several times was effective, so he just turned a blind eye and let Mrs. Huangfu do whatever he wanted.
Mrs. Wang came, sat by the kang, took A Bao's little hand and looked at it for a long time, felt the pulse and counted with her fingers, then said: "Old sister, this soul is here, I don't see anything wrong.
Come on, it doesn’t look like you’ve lost your soul!”
Mrs. Huangfu said anxiously: "Then why do you always have a fever, especially in the afternoon and at night? The fever is particularly severe!"
Mrs. Wang thought there for a long time, then she lowered her voice and said: "Sister, maybe I am not good enough in the Taoist practice. I know a Taoist friend who is more profound in the Taoist practice than me. Why don't you let her come and take a look?"
Mrs. Huangfu was a little hesitant. When she saw Concubine Qing coming in with some decoction, she pulled Concubine Qing and said, "Auntie, what do you think we should do about this? Why don't you let someone come and take a look?"
Concubine Qing was startled, looked at Chu Yiqing who had been serving Abao, and said, "Yiqing, what do you think?"
Mrs. Huangfu said directly: "How could these juniors understand such nonsense? Seeing that A Bao had been taking medicine for three days, but he still didn't feel better, I thought about it. If it didn't work, let people take a look.
In the past, when Miao'er was always sick, it was said that he would come to see this person, and he would be cured after feeling his pulse!"
Concubine Qing hesitated for a moment and then said: "Then let her come and take a look, but she still has to take the medicine!"
Mrs. Huangfu nodded: "This is natural!"
Seeing that Mrs. Huangfu and Concubine Qing agreed, Mrs. Wang hurriedly went to do it.
On the kang, Abao kept coughing, sometimes until he couldn't speak, but his little face turned pale, and Chu Yiqing felt very distressed when he looked at her.
"Ah Bao, drink more water. It's pear and sugar water to nourish your lungs!" Chu Yiqing brought a bowl by the kang over and spooned it out for Ah Bao to drink with a small spoon.
Po suppressed his cough and took a few sips. After taking a breath, he started coughing again.
"Drink some more loquat paste!" Chu Yiqing took out the previously made loquat paste and gave it to Abao to drink.
Concubine Qing anxiously sat in front of the kang, touched Abao's forehead, and whispered: "I still have a fever, what should I do?"
Chu Yiqing said in a low voice: "Doctor Xu said, it's the wind and cold. I'm afraid the fever will last three or four days. This Chinese medicine won't take effect so quickly!"
"It's really useless!" Concubine Qing's eyes turned cold. After all, she had once been in that high position. At this moment, she was angry and angry, and her own majesty burst out.
Chu Yiqing patted her hand and signaled her to be calm. In fact, Abao had had fever twice before, and it took three or four days for him to go down. Once, he relied on Thunder's golden elixir, but that time
The most powerful one was eaten by Abao, and now the remaining golden elixir has no great effect!
During the meal, A Bao was very sleepy and didn't eat anything. He still dominated Chu Yiqing and fell asleep after a while.
Putting down Abao, Chu Yiqing sighed, and just as he was getting upset, Mrs. Huangfu and Mrs. Wang led a woman in her thirties in, wearing a green cloth skirt, with a hairpin on her head, and a silver hairpin stuck in it.
Mrs. Huangfu introduced: "Yiqing, this is the Ge Liu family from Yuangezhuang. She is a well-known goddess in eight villages within ten miles. How about letting her show A Bao?"
Chu Yiqing frowned, Goddess? She was too superstitious, so she said: "Mom, let's forget about this matter. A Bao just suffered from wind and cold, and he will be fine after taking medicine for a few days!"
Mrs. Wang advised: "Miss Chu, you have to believe some things. Let me ask you, when A Bao was born, was the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck?"
Chu Yiqing was stunned. She was in severe pain at that time. Where could she pay attention to whether Abao had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck?
Concubine Qing came out of the inner room and said, "As soon as it's clear, let her take a look. We can't make A Bao feel so uncomfortable!"
Chu Yiqing was a little hesitant, but seeing Concubine Qing speaking, he had no choice but to say: "Let's take a look!"
Mrs. Ge Liu hurried forward, looked at A Bao's hands carefully, and then said: "Oh, this child is not ordinary, he is full of resentment, he looks like an old man!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Mrs. Huangfu and Mrs. Wang all changed.
Chu Yiqing asked doubtfully: "With what resentment?"
Mrs. Ge Liu narrowed her eyes and said: "That is to say, your child is not an ordinary person. He came from the sky. He has resentment in him. He has to fulfill his wishes. As for where he came from, then I have to use my power to ask the gods to come up and ask.
Ask and check!"
When Chu Yiqing heard this, he couldn't help but change his face. This person was talking pure nonsense, so he said to Mrs. Huangfu: "Mom, we won't read it anymore, let's send her away!"
Concubine Qing said quickly: "Yiqing, let me finish what I said. What are you in a hurry for?"
Chu Yiqing whispered: "Aunt Qing, these are charlatans, don't believe them!"
Concubine Qing said, "I also think A Bao is unusual. If you ask her to check it, isn't it just a matter of a few dollars?"
Chu Yiqing frowned, this is not a matter of a few dollars, what if this goddess talks nonsense...
Mrs. Huangfu was a little hesitant now. She had lived in the countryside for a long time, and she had heard stories about whose children were sent from the sky, and they needed to find a substitute to fulfill their wishes. But most of them were children from wealthy families.
, I also took advantage of this matter to improve my status, but when it comes to Abao...
Mrs. Wang also said on the side: "Ah Bao is different from poor families like us. Whether he walks or talks earlier than other children, I have long seen that this child is special! Miss Chu, think about it.
Why is A Bao so smart? This has a great background!"
Concubine Qing also said: "As soon as it's clear, let her show it to Abao before we talk!"
Chu Yiqing said firmly: "Aunt Qing, she is a liar, don't listen to her nonsense!"
However, Concubine Qing's eyes widened and she said resolutely: "They just said a few words that our child has a great background. Why do you call her a liar?"
Chu Yiqing was stunned, wondering why Concubine Qing was so concerned. Is it really for Abao's good or... Chu Yiqing felt that he was a little careless, but when he thought of the ways of the emperor that Concubine Qing had taught Abao before,
, she felt a little uncomfortable.
I feel like my things are coveted!
"Well, please help me check it out!" Concubine Qing turned to Na Ge Liu and said.
Mrs. Ge Liu nodded, looked around, and said: "Let's go to the outhouse and get an incense stick. Which of you can write? Remember, I don't know what I said when I wake up. Don't be confused!"
Mrs. Huangfu quickly said: "I can write, I will remember it!"
Mrs. Ge Liu nodded and took Mrs. Huangfu, Concubine Qing and others to the outhouse.
In the back room, Chu Yiqing touched A Bao's little hands exposed outside the quilt and frowned. It was still very hot, so he poured some more wine, mixed some hot water, adjusted the temperature to warm, and rubbed A Bao's hands first.
The forehead, then the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands.
At this moment, on the floor of the house outside, Mr. Ge Liu took out the statues of the gods he had brought with him and placed them on the table. He also asked old lady Huangfu to serve them with various snacks and fruits, and then ordered a stick.
The incense was placed in the incense burner.
"After a while, the god is on my body. Just tell her the child's name and time, and ask her to find out where it is and how to resolve it. She will answer you! But you must remember to be respectful to the gods.
Here!" Mrs. Ge Liu told Mrs. Huangfu and Concubine Qing.
Mrs. Huangfu and Concubine Qing looked at each other and nodded quickly.
Mrs. Ge Liu just sat cross-legged on the bed on the ground, clasped her hands on her chest, slowly closed her eyes, then yawned, and said nothing.
"What is this for?" Concubine Qing saw this kind of goddess for the first time and didn't understand, so she asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Wang whispered: "This is called entering concentration, and the gods will come soon!"
Concubine Qing nodded, sat on the chair beside her seriously, and looked at Mr. Ge Liu without blinking.
Time passed slowly, and after about one-third of the time for the incense sticks, Ge Liu, who had been sitting sullenly, suddenly put his hands together and whispered, "The Queen Mother is here!"
Mrs. Wang quickly clasped her hands together and said, "Respect the Queen Mother!"
Mrs. Ge Liu continued: "What do you want?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Please ask the Queen Mother to help me find a person. His name is Chu Yi. He was born on the ninth day of the first lunar month of the 32nd year. Where did he come from?"
Mrs. Ge Liu nodded and fell silent, but her right hand kept calculating.
While Mr. Ge Liu was calculating, Concubine Qing kept looking at Ms. Ge Liu nervously, her fingers tightly clasped on the back of the chair.
Mrs. Huangfu spread out pen and paper on the table and looked at it nervously.
"Chu Yi was born on the ninth day of the first lunar month in the thirty-second year. He was originally the golden boy beside the Jade Emperor. He secretly descended to the earth. This person's future is limitless and he is a dragon and a phoenix among men. Now the Jade Emperor is feasting on all the ministers in heaven.
I'm looking for him to serve me!" said Ge Liu with his eyes closed.
"Oh, that's terrible, Jin Yuniang, this child A Bao is very precious. He is the golden boy beside the Jade Emperor. He came down to earth privately. His fever persists because the Jade Emperor is looking for him!" Mrs. Wang immediately whispered to Mr. Huangfu.
Tai explained.
Mrs. Huangfu was stunned for a moment, feeling dizzy after being told by Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ge Liu. When she went to look at Concubine Qing, she saw her nodding, as if she believed it very much.
"Her aunt, please ask if there is a way to resolve this problem? Can't we let him go back?" Mrs. Huangfu said quickly.
Mrs. Wang then continued to ask: "Queen Mother, please give me a solution!"
Mrs. Ge Liu nodded, squinted her eyes and continued: "There is a way to solve the problem. The eighteenth day of the winter solstice is a good day. When the time comes, you can fulfill your wish, find a substitute, and then worship my Queen Mother as your godmother, so that you can protect this child.
a peaceful life!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she said happily: "Oh, Jin Yuniang, this child A Bao is so lucky that he wants to become his godmother!"
Old Mrs. Huangfu listened and didn't know what to say for a moment, so she heard the Ge Liu say: "I still wish, substitute, please remember the things you need to worship the goddess, but you can't miss anything, remember it!"
"
Mrs. Wang quickly urged Mrs. Huangfu and said, "Hurry up and write it down. We must do it according to the Queen Mother's wishes!"
Mrs. Huangfu hesitated slightly, then Concubine Qing stepped forward, took the pen and paper in front of Mrs. Huangfu, and said respectfully to Mr. Na Geliu: "Go ahead!"
Mrs. Ge Liu closed her eyes and began to talk about two hundred and ninety-nine nine-inch ingots, sixty-six six-inch ingots, a dragon robe for the Jade Emperor, and clothes for the Queen Mother.
They also had to burn the clothes for the substitute, one by one, which took half a stick of incense, and there were two or three densely written pieces of paper on the paper.
"You must remember to make your vows before noon on November 18th. Children must not be present. Remember to prepare ten dishes, ten wines, and ten waters. The dishes include chicken, fish, tofu, bean sprouts, and chrysanthemum. The remaining four are not
**, but I want meat dishes, remember that there are no lotus roots or potatoes in the dishes!" After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ge Liu asked again: "Did you remember it?"
Concubine Qing nodded and said, "Remember it!"
"It's okay, I'll go back to the palace!" Mrs. Ge Liu nodded.
Mrs. Wang immediately said respectfully: "Send the Queen Mother back to the palace!"
Mrs. Ge Liu nodded, burped suddenly, opened her eyes in confusion, and asked Mrs. Wang, "Who came just now?"
Mrs. Wang quickly said: "It's the Queen Mother!"
Mrs. Ge Liu said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is here in person. It seems that this child's life is very precious!"
Mrs. Wang nodded: "No, it's the golden boy beside the Jade Emperor!"
As Mrs. Wang spoke, she showed the items written down by Concubine Qing to Mrs. Ge Liu and said, "The Queen Mother has ordered that these be given to the Jade Emperor. These are for the Queen Mother to be her godmother. I want you to help with them."
manage!"
Madam Ge Liu immediately put her hands together and said, "Immortal Lord Immeasurable, Madam Ge Liu will definitely obey your order!"
Concubine Qing asked: "Let's do it when the time comes, but how to prepare these things?"
Mr. Ge Liu said: "I have all these things, all you have to do is pay for them!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Huangfu hurriedly said: "What, her aunt, let's discuss this matter again!"
Concubine Qing looked at Mrs. Huangfu in confusion: "What else are we discussing? A Bao's safety is the most important thing!"
Old Mrs. Huangfu didn't know what to say. After all, Mrs. Wang was here to guard her. She couldn't say that she suspected that this Ge Liu was a liar, so she whispered: "Her aunt, Yiqing disagrees. She doesn't believe this!"
Concubine Qing said with a smile: "Sister, you just said it, what do you know about this nonsense? It doesn't cost a lot of money, so I'll pay for it!"
Mrs. Huangfu quickly said: "This is not about money. This is about finding a substitute and asking the Queen Mother to be your godmother. It sounds a bit creepy. Her aunt, I know you are worried about A Bao, but this
We’d better be more cautious about things in heaven!”
Mrs. Ge Liu was listening there, rolled her eyes and said, "The grudge has been settled. It would be a bad idea not to pay it back. You two must think clearly!"
Mrs. Huangfu hurriedly said: "There are still nine days before the eighteenth anniversary. Why don't you make a wish first and let the child get better first, so as not to suffer this pain?"
Mrs. Wang also agreed: "Then make this wish quickly, the child is still feverish!"
Mrs. Ge Liu shook her head and said: "No, I must return this wish, otherwise it will ruin my life!"
Mrs. Huangfu had no choice but to go into the house to discuss with Chu Yiqing when she saw Concubine Qing taking out one and a half taels of silver from her body and handing it to Mr. Ge Liu, "Do you think this money is enough? If so,
If it’s not enough, I’ll go back to the house and get it for you!”
When Mrs. Ge Liu saw the money, she quickly said with joy: "That's enough, that's enough! I will make a wish first and let the child get better!"
Concubine Qing nodded and looked at Ge Liu longingly.
Mrs. Ge Liu put the money away, then lit another stick of incense, clasped her hands together and muttered for a long time, then smiled and said: "Okay, I made this wish, and I won't have a fever today!"
"Really?" Concubine Qing breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to have completely believed in this Ge Liu family.
"I'd like to prepare these things. I'll prepare them as soon as I get back. I'll come on the day I turn 18. Remember to prepare a basin for the children to use when stepping over the brazier. I also need to prepare the dishes I remember above.
!" Mrs. Ge Liu ordered again.
Concubine Qing nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will be ready!"
Mrs. Ge Liu also said goodbye to Mrs. Wang and went out.
In the room, Chu Yiqing couldn't help but frown as she listened to the commotion outside. She didn't feel sorry for the five taels of silver that had been cheated, but she just felt uncomfortable. Although she didn't believe in this ghost thing, she just couldn't help but frown.
From modern times to ancient times, there are still children who are sleepy. Calling Hun'er on weekdays can indeed cure them. Could it be that Abao is really...
Concubine Qing opened the curtain and came into the room, looked at Chu Yiqing and said: "Yiqing, don't blame me for making my own decisions. The children of this royal family are all precious. A Bao is of royal blood and the eldest son. Naturally, he will be the emperor in the future.
Yes, it’s not like he’s the best among men! That person was quite right, he’s not trying to cheat money!”
"Aunt Qing!" Chu Yiqing suddenly raised his head, gently interrupted Qing Fei's words, and whispered: "A Bao is just an ordinary child, don't listen to that person's nonsense!"
Concubine Qing was stunned and raised her eyes to look at Chu Yiqing, "Yiqing, I know you have suffered a lot of grievances, but when Huang'er takes the throne, no one can stop you, and then you and Abao can enter."
Palace, then Abao will..."
It turns out that Concubine Qing really had such a plan in her heart! Chu Yiqing bit his lip and whispered: "Aunt Qing, I didn't think so long-term. I just want to live happily with A Bao now. Here
It’s much calmer than the capital city!”
Concubine Qing frowned: "But sooner or later you have to face that kind of life, do you..." Concubine Qing suddenly realized something and asked in a low voice: "Have you never thought about entering the palace with A Bao? Then Huang'er
What should I do with my affection for you?"
Chu Yiqing didn't know how to speak. She naturally hoped that Li Huang would give up his throne and come to Chu Han to accompany her, but Concubine Qing couldn't accept it!
"Aunt Qing, we'll talk about these things later. Now let's talk about A Bao. That person is a liar. Don't believe her. We don't want the money. We just treat it as a lesson. A Bao will be fine in a few days.
Don’t worry!”
Concubine Qing looked at Chu Yiqing and sighed: "You are a strong child, but you are too selfish. Why can't you think about Huang'er and Abao? Which man in the world doesn't want to build great achievements? Yes.
Who is willing to be a farmer in this country for the rest of his life? How could you, kid, have such a plan?"
Concubine Qing sighed, stood up and left the room.
Chu Yiqing sat on the kang and bit his lip. Concubine Qing's words kept swirling in his mind. Was she really too selfish?
