Those eyes were extremely heroic, with bright black pupils, as if stars were hidden within them.
He propped himself up with his hands, frowned and sat up, looking around while recalling what happened before he was poisoned and passed out.
He encountered bandits on his way to Beijing, and vaguely remembered that he was rescued by a passing group of soldiers...
Later, he passed out and had no memory of anything in between. It was not until about an hour ago that he regained consciousness and began to hear the voices around him.
Thinking of the conversation he just heard, the young man's face turned a little dark.
This family actually wanted to use him to celebrate!
Moreover, there are many picky words in his words, and he also said that if you are dissatisfied in the future, you can divorce your husband——
If you talk so shamelessly, what are your family’s conditions?
The young man wanted to get out of bed, but he couldn't muster the strength for a while.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and it was an old servant leading a doctor carrying a medicine box in.
Seeing him wake up, the old servant was very happy.
And that kind of happiness is obviously not pure.
The young man suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart and asked aloud: "May I ask which house this belongs to?"
"This is the Duke's Mansion, and our old man is the current Duke." The old servant had a look of pride on his face.
The young man was startled.
Zhen Guo Gongfu?
It was the Duke of Zhen who accidentally rescued him on his way back to Beijing after a victorious battle?
After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor said that the residual poison had almost been eliminated. He only needed to continue taking medicine and rest for ten and a half months, and the person would be cured.
After the doctor left, the old servant handed him a glass of water and told the young man with a smile: "Young Master, just rest in peace and recuperate your body now, and don't feel panic. It is your good fortune to have this opportunity."
Young man: ...it's like a madam in a brothel talking to the girl in the brothel who has been spotted by a nobleman. What is her tone and attitude based on?
He didn't say much or ask anything, he just said: "Please tell me something to the Duke of Zhenguo. I want to thank him in person."
One code equals another code, and it is indeed a fact that someone has saved his life.
The old servant nodded happily.
Feeling that the other party had misunderstood what he meant to say thank you, the young man fell into silence again.
In Xiyuan, in the outer hall, Xu Mingyi hugged Duke Zhen Guo tightly.
The old man felt quite flattered and patted his granddaughter on the back to comfort her for a while.
"My Zhaozhao has been ill for so long, and he has really suffered a great crime... It was my grandfather who came back late, which made Zhaozhao feel wronged."
The famous old war god of Da Qi Kingdom, the general who frightened the enemies on the battlefield, spoke softly at this time, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but his eyes turned red with distress.
The old man's heart was so aching that it almost broke into pieces, and he glanced at Xu Jin and others standing aside.
There was mostly blame and dissatisfaction in those eyes.
See how wronged his granddaughter was. As soon as she saw her grandfather, she rushed over and hugged him. After her granddaughter passed ten years old, she never hugged him like this again - it seems that in Zhaozhao's heart, he is the only grandfather.
The most reliable person in the family.
Thinking like this, the old man felt both distressed and a little untimely complacent.
Xu Jin, Xu Yun, Xu Mingshi and Cui, all of whom had been hugged by Xu Mingyi, did not break the old man's beautiful illusion of being favored alone.
Xu Mingyi hugged the old man, and his heart, which had been floating in the air for days, seemed to be gradually becoming more stable, but it also felt a tingling sensation.
She hasn't seen her grandfather for a long time.
Over the past few years, she has always been thinking about the last time she saw her grandfather, what she said to her grandfather, and what kind of look her grandfather looked at at that time, when she might have predicted that the Xu family was about to be annihilated.
Are you looking at her who knows nothing?
But she couldn't think of anything.
At that time, she was married to Prince Pingnan for the first time, and her narcolepsy had not yet been cured, so she didn't have much thought to pay attention to anything else.
More importantly, she didn't realize that that was the last time she saw her grandfather.
The many last times in life always happen unknowingly. For example, one day when your relatives pick you up as a child, and then put them down, it will be the last time they pick you up, including yourself at that time.
No one will realize that it is the last time they will hold you.
She couldn't remember the last time she hugged her family, but she only knew that it was the most reassuring feeling in the world.
She had always dreamed of hugging them, and now she finally got her wish, and it seemed that this was not a dream...
The delusion in his heart was being confirmed little by little. Xu Mingyi raised his head from the old man's arms, with no more tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Zhao Zhao doesn't feel wronged."
In her past life and this life, she was always the one being protected. Until her death, she never felt wronged in the slightest.
"Yes, I'm not wronged. Today is your birthday, so don't say those unsatisfactory words." The old man sat down with a smile and said, "Grandpa brought you a birthday gift."
Xu Mingyi was also pulled by Mrs. Cui and sat down next to her. Upon hearing these words, the smile on his face suddenly became forced.
She didn't pretend to be stupid and beat around the bush: "Isn't it the young man in the front yard that my grandfather was talking about?"
"Yes, that's him. It seems Zhaozhao has heard about it." Seeing his granddaughter being so frank and direct, the old man continued: "I just brought him back and you woke up. What does this mean?
——Mr. Yao’s divination is indeed infallible!”
Cui said: "But my daughter-in-law heard that the young man was unconscious all the way..."
She usually would not interfere with the decisions her father-in-law made, but it was different when it came to Zhao Zhao.
Just now, she asked Qingying to go to the front yard to have a look, saying that she was half dead. Who was celebrating whom?
Or...do they have to be so contradictory?
"It's okay! I just asked the doctor to see me on the way. I just got poisoned by a highly toxic drug. I'll give him medicine and acupuncture along the way, and I should wake up soon."
Xu Jin, who subconsciously sat far away from the old man, asked: "But what if there is a marriage arranged at his family?"
"It's nothing. One time during acupuncture, I asked the doctor to insert two more needles, which made me sober for a while. I already took the opportunity to talk to him!" After the old man answered, he looked at his granddaughter with a smile: "What do you mean, Zhao Zhao? Or, first of all,
Go and see if it suits your eyes?"
Looking at his grandfather's loving and expectant eyes, Xu Mingyi felt briefly in a trance.
That's what her grandfather asked her last time.
She didn't see what that person looked like, and she didn't have many other distracting thoughts. She only had one thought: she wanted to live.
At that time, she only regarded this matter as some kind of "praying for rain" and other disaster relief rituals. She thought that the worst result was just as her grandfather persuaded her. If the two really didn't get along, they would end up with each other.
After parting with each other, the Zhenguo Palace just wanted to give some more compensation - and I didn't expect it at all... She did survive, but she was the grandson of Dingnan Palace who was so dignified.
