Xia Zhan felt uncomfortable in his heart. When he found out what happened on the way back, he almost beat his chest. The children's plan was so good, but he was too conceited. He felt that he should be punished for his contribution to this country.
The emperor respects him, but he himself has forgotten what Baili Mingyu did to him last time.
It would be okay if Nalan Lingyu was rescued this time, but if he couldn't be rescued, how should he face his daughter? It would be hard for her to suffer all the hardships and then be screwed up by him.
On the carriage going to Liguo, Xia Zhan lay inactive because of injuries on his body. The driver was none other than Lin Er.
His eyes turned red when he saw the injuries on Mr. Xia's body. It was really cruel for the emperor to treat an old man like this.
However, because of this matter, his elders were also arrested, which was what worried him most now. He originally wanted to drive faster to Li Guo to meet his wife, but who knew that Mr. Xia's injury was really not suitable for bumpy roads?
, so they wasted so much time along the way.
"Brother Lin Er, they haven't sent any news yet that Nalan Lingyu has been rescued?"
Xia Zhan was lying in the carriage thinking about it and still felt panicked. It turned out that he liked this son-in-law from the bottom of his heart and was very satisfied with it. Now it seems that his talent is more than what he seems.
Nalan Lingyu's talent can actually conquer the world without spending a single soldier. On the surface, it is not obvious that there is no leakage.
If it weren't for the emotional entanglement between Qingxin and him, Baili Mingyu would never know until his death that his world would be taken over by such a harmless person.
"There is no news. Old man, just relax and cultivate yourself. My family is lucky and everything will be fine. Now that Madam knows about it, she will definitely not leave you to fend for yourself."
Lin Er sat in front of the carriage and drove the carriage and comforted Xia Zhan. In fact, he also wanted to cry. The life and death of his family members were still unclear, but he had to drive the carriage leisurely here without even using any strength.
Along the way, I had to pay attention to Mr. Xiahou's state of mind, so as not to let anything happen to him again, so I felt aggrieved.
"I'm just worried that the emperor is watching Nalan Lingyu so closely that he won't have a chance to make a move." If Xia Zhan hadn't handed over all the secret guards he raised to Xia Qingcheng when Xia Zhan was hung on the tower.
, then there is no need for Nalan Lingyu’s self-sacrifice at all.
In the final analysis, Xia Zhan was too conceited, which caused today's irreversible consequences. No matter how powerful he is, what's the use? What's the point of talking about capital if his life is gone?
"Master Marquis, just rest in peace and recover from your injuries. As for Lord Nalan, everything that happens is between Madam and General Xia. Only if you take good care of your body will you not let me down by replacing you."
Old man, you must hold on to your health, otherwise Master Nalan's replacement will be in vain, and it won't be like Madam on a business trip when you go back.
With this thought, Lin Er speeded up a little. He really wanted to meet up with his wife right away. After handing over the old man, he hurried back to inquire about the situation of the master, and maybe he could even see the master secretly.
.
Your Excellency is the person he admires the most in this world, no one else. Without you, he would not be where he is today, so he must treat you well.
Finally, five days later, the carriage entered the territory of Liguo. This made Lin Er excited, as if he saw hope. Xia Zhan's body slowly recovered and he could already walk on the ground.
"Brother Lin Er, have we arrived in Liguo now?"
"Yes, Mr. Hou, we are now in a small border town of Liguo. Look at how lively it is here. There are people coming and going."
Lin Er was driving the carriage and was going to find an inn to stay. He had been in the carriage for so many days and his bones were almost falling apart. But he couldn't keep going and he had to find a bed to have a good sleep.
It just so happened that the old man's injuries needed to be replaced with dressings, so I happened to find a medical clinic to have a good look at him. Maybe they would be almost healed by the time we left the capital.
Xia Zhan sat up and opened the curtains of the window, and a prosperous scene appeared in front of his eyes. It was really lively. Compared with their Kyoto, this scene was really not much worse.
"It's really lively. I haven't seen such a scene for a long time." Xia Zhan began to recall the old days. He had not seen such simple people and lively street scenes for many years.
Lin Er happened to poke his head around and saw the sign that An Yi had told him about on the roadside signboard. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he drove the carriage to the entrance of the jade shop.
"Little brother, aren't we looking for an inn? Why did you come to this jade shop? Do you want to buy something?" Xia Zhan was very curious. This little brother had a very good temper along the way, and he didn't see him buying anything on the way.
What, why do you want to buy a souvenir after leaving the country?
"Master Marquis, please wait here for a moment. The younger one will go in and take a look and then come out." Lin Er has not found Xia Qingxin and the others yet, so he dare not tell Xia Zhan, fearing that his joy will be in vain.
He tied up the carriage and walked in. This jade shop was not small in scale. As soon as Lin Er entered, the shopkeeper warmly greeted him from behind the counter.
"Hello, sir, the store has a complete range of products at reasonable prices. I'll show you what you want to order." The shopkeeper did not look down on Lin Er because of his clothes, but continued to introduce it enthusiastically.
"Shopkeeper, I don't want to buy anything. I'm here to find someone."
Lin Er looked at him apologetically and said that he really couldn't afford the things here, so he thought about his wallet and forget it.
"Who are you looking for?" The shopkeeper's little face disappeared instantly and returned to a businesslike look.
"Looking for the person on your sign." Lin Er looked at him very sincerely. It would be great if he could find his wife here. He needed to know what the situation was like now.
"Who are you?" The shopkeeper looked at him doubtfully. It was indeed stated that if anyone saw the sign and came looking for someone, they would be taken to the palace quickly.
But that person is Mr. Xia Hou. By the way, he is following a person named Lin Er. Could it be that he is the person in front of him?
"Lin Er, if the shopkeeper knows who I am looking for, could you please inform me on my behalf? I would be very grateful."
Sure enough, it was Lin Er. The shopkeeper glanced at the carriage outside and gave Lin Er a questioning look, meaning who was in the carriage outside.
He needed to confirm whether it was Mr. Xiahou inside the carriage, otherwise it would be difficult to explain if he was impersonated by someone with ulterior motives.
"The person in the carriage is this person." Lin Er handed the photo that symbolized Xia Zhan's identity to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw it and confirmed it without a doubt and quickly won the person in.
"Little brother, please wait here for a moment. I will inform the people above. You can drink tea first." The shopkeeper told the people below to take good care of him, and he hurried towards the direction of the palace.
An Yi, who was in the palace, knew the news and didn't even use his horse. He flew directly in the direction of the jade shop. He was finally going to see his master.
Xia Zhan and Lin Er were sitting in the inner room of the jade shop, drinking tea and chatting happily when the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Master, I finally see you! I hope you're fine." An Yi knelt down on the ground. For them, the master was their reborn parent. He not only educated them since they were young, but also trained them to become such outstanding people.
How can they not be grateful?
"An Yi, get up quickly. What does it look like to kneel on the ground? Didn't I teach you men that there is gold under your knees? Don't kneel down easily."
Xia Zhan was shocked when he saw An Yi at first, and then saw him kneeling on the ground and quickly stood up and went to help him, but no matter how hard he tried, An Yi couldn't get up.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you get up?" Xia Zhan was very confused. An Yi's attitude was not right today. He wouldn't be like this normally. Could it be that something happened?
"Master, please punish this subordinate. I failed to take good care of the eldest lady. The eldest lady is unconscious now. Subordinate...subordinate..."
An Yi really couldn't talk anymore. He didn't know how to explain to Xia Zhan. After all, he had been taking care of Xia Qingxin along the way, but he didn't find anything wrong with Xia Qingxin's body. If they hadn't arrived,
I happened to meet Mo Yitian who came out here. If he couldn't find a good imperial doctor, how should Xia Qingxin's illness be treated?
"What's wrong with Qingxin? Stand up and speak. Speak properly and I won't blame you." Now is not the time to blame anyone. If you want to blame, the biggest sinner is yourself.
If I hadn't gone my own way and ignored Nalan Lingyu's advice, how could things have developed like this? It's too late to say anything now.
"The eldest lady is still unconscious. Even the imperial doctor can't find out the cause. The master has neglected his duty." An Yi stood up and told this fact with difficulty.
Xia Qingxin has been unconscious for a week now, and even the imperial doctors are helpless now. Everyone has fallen into unprecedented melancholy.
At this time, I suddenly heard that Xia Zhan 2 was coming, and he was the backbone, so An Yi came directly to meet his master.
After hearing this, Xia Zhan fell into deep thought. What happened when Qingxin encountered this situation? He had to go and have a look. Maybe he was depressed after hearing about Nalan Lingyu's arrest.
Unconscious.
It was because he had neglected his duty as a father. No matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. Xia Zhan couldn't sit still for a quarter of an hour. He got up and headed towards the palace.
When Lin Er heard that his wife was unconscious, he was also very anxious to see if his family had no hope.
An Yi also followed directly behind. The originally bustling inner room was now completely clear. A large group of people left, and the waiter who was left behind couldn't stop them.
When the shopkeeper came back out of breath, he opened the door and was about to tell Xia Zhan the good news. When the people above were about to see him, they suddenly found that the room was empty.
"Where are they?"
"Shopkeeper, here comes a man who doesn't know what he said. Mr. Xia Hou and the others have all left. The younger one can't even stop him."
The waiter stated what just happened with a slumped face. He originally thought he could see a big shot, but he didn't expect to leave after just staying for a while. (To be continued)
