His mind was a little tense. He thought for a moment and didn't know what to say, so he asked, "Is Brother Lu feeling better?"
Yuan Yongyi looked at him and shook her head gently, "No, I haven't opened my eyes today."
King Qi saw that she was very sad, so he comforted her: "Don't worry too much, he will get better. He is a kind-hearted person, and God will not treat him so poorly."
"Yes, everyone says so. He is really a very good person."
Yuan Yongyi sighed softly, her mind was full of the happy times when she and Lu Yuan were together. They hunted and played together, it seemed like it was yesterday, but now they are almost separated from each other.
"Yes!"
He murmured.
Yuan Yongyi did not help him apply medicine, but poured hot water over to help him wash his face and hands.
She did all this quietly and very skillfully. When he was injured before, she was always there to take care of him. At that time, his heart was still grieving for Chu Mingcui.
But at that time, he never thought that one day, the fat man would belong to someone else.
If he could go back in time, he would definitely not be so persistent. At that time, he didn't know that his original feelings for Chu Mingcui could slowly fade away, and now, there is almost nothing left.
He didn't even know that in those days of sharing the joys and sorrows, the woman in front of him would enter his heart in such a strong way, and he could never get rid of her.
He just lay on the bed, looking at the small embroidery on her sleeves. The skin on the back of her hands was white and delicate, and blue blood vessels could be seen under the skin. Her hands would touch his face, touch him.
His chin moves so naturally, but his heart can no longer be so natural.
At that moment, he was still selfish in his heart, hoping that she could always stay by his side.
After he was taken care of, Yuan Yongyi said softly: "You take good care of yourself and I will come over to see you tomorrow."
"good!"
His nasal voice was a little thick, perhaps because he had been lying down. He quickly raised his head and glanced at her. She just turned around, and he watched her leave infatuatedly.
When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around. He was caught off guard and immediately buried his face on the pillow, feeling detached and sad.
Yuan Yongyi looked a little confused, paused for a moment, and left.
Amid this chaos, Xu Yi, who was sent to Jiangnan by Yu Wenhao, returned.
King Ji also sent people to check, and the news arrived in the capital one after another.
King Ji went to the palace early the next morning and said that the people sent there had asked about it and found that the people in the Jiangnan area were full of praise for the Li Chao family. The second son of the Li family was also a well-educated young man with both literary and talented talents.
Emperor Ming Yuan was naturally happy after hearing this. This was the only thing worth being happy about among all the mess.
However, when Yu Wenhao entered the palace at noon, he sent a different message, saying that the Li family did have a reputation of being rich and charitable, but the second young master was not a good person. He was arrogant, domineering, ruthless and cruel, and not only beat him to death.
He once gave birth to slaves in his family and had people beat to death who opposed him outside.
Emperor Ming Yuan was suspicious, "But today your eldest brother came to the palace to report, and he said that he sent someone to investigate and found out that the Li family is indeed a good family, and that the second young master Li is also a virtuous person. Why did your investigation come back completely different?"
Yu Wenhao said: "Father, my eldest brother sent people to Jiangnan to investigate and found out that the results were probably whitewashed and not investigated in detail. If my father doesn't believe it, he can send people to check again."
"You said here that he had killed someone. Since it was a murder case, how can you suppress it?"
Emperor Ming Yuan subconsciously leaned toward what King Ji said, not because he didn't trust Yu Wenhao, but because he also longed for a marriage with the Li family.
"Money makes the world go round. Li Chao had long ago bribed people in the government to accuse the deceased's family of false accusations. The deceased's family is still in prison."
Emperor Ming Yuan frowned when he heard this, "You mean, Li Chao is also dishonest?"
"A father's love for his son will inevitably do stupid things. Xu Yi has not carefully investigated Li Chao's character, but Mr. Li is really a bastard."
In fact, Li Chao is not a good person, but Yu Wenhao has to take it step by step.
Emperor Ming Yuan couldn't help but be disappointed. Although Yu Wenhao's words could not be fully believed, Emperor Ming Yuan still could not take risks because it was related to the happiness of the princess's life. He said: "Then let's put this matter aside for now. I will send someone to investigate again."
"Father, the eldest brother wants to share the worries of the court, and I understand. However, when the princess comes down to the people, she should be extremely cautious and not make the slightest mistake, otherwise her life will be ruined. Ordinarily, the eldest brother should think about it as a father.
How can you think clearly about this truth and then try your best to promote it?"
Yu Wenhao was not afraid of offending King Ji, so he directly left a suspense for Emperor Ming Yuan.
After Emperor Ming Yuan sent Yu Wenhao away, he remembered what he said and summoned King Ji into the palace to give him a beating. He said that he was not worthy of being a father and said that he wanted to betroth his daughter to him without careful examination. It was careless and reckless.
King Ji knew that it was Yu Wenhao who was causing trouble, and he was very angry, but he did not dare to go to the Prince of Chu's palace to make a fuss, so he went back to find Princess Ji to vent his anger.
Princess Ji wanted to protect Meng Yue, so she naturally did not dare to offend him now, so she endured his anger and was slapped several times.
Princess Ji sat in front of the dressing table, slowly applying powder to her face to cover up the traces of her fingers.
A man who has no ability and only knows how to go home to vent his anger and sell his daughter for glory will be of no use unless he dies.
There is no clue about the case of the theft of the military map and the case of Lu Yuan being injured. After such a long investigation, not to mention the arrest, even the identity of the enemy has not been clearly investigated.
Yu Wenhao, the governor of Jingzhao, was naturally questioned in the morning.
The military map is particularly important. If this person has the intention to rebel or collaborate with the enemy, it will be a great crisis for the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Yu Wenhao was bombarded and left the court with his head hanging down.
He is the busiest official in the entire Beitang. After being bombarded here, he has to go back to the Yamen to continue his busy work.
It's not that there are no clues at the moment. At least, that person has been in contact with the people who painted the boat, and he also found someone to bribe the boatmen on the Xisu River. There is no other way now but to continue tracing along this line.
At around midnight in the evening, he dragged his exhausted body back home from the Yamen.
Today, Prince Chu's Mansion is overcrowded. Even so late at night, the house is still brightly lit.
Yuan Qingling is still with Lu Yuan. Now her injury has improved and she has started to have nasal feeding.
When he entered the door, he saw Yu Wenhao slumped on the chaise longue, exhausted and bloodless, so he ordered someone to prepare hot water and food for him.
Yu Wenhao opened his eyes and saw Yuan Qingling slowly walking over. He stretched out his hand and said, "Come!"
Yuan Qingling put her hand on his palm, and he pulled hard. She fell completely on top of him, her forehead pressed against his chin, and she was scratched painfully by the stubble that sprouted out.
"Have you eaten?" His voice sounded in her ears, very hoarse.
"I didn't eat it. When I asked someone to prepare it for you, I also prepared my share."
Yuan Qingling raised her head and looked at him, saying distressedly: "Are you exhausted?"
"I can't even bear it!"
Yu Wenhao sighed deeply and stared at her with his deep eyes, "Old Yuan, we haven't spoken for a long time."
Yuan Qingling nodded and slowly sat up, "Yes, the war is so chaotic that I can't even think of talking."
Since Concubine Xian's death, although they had discussed it, no one had opened their hearts.
Later, she even felt that Lao Wu was deliberately avoiding her sometimes.
