This red plum was really novel, and Jiang Huan couldn't take his eyes away from it.
"This red plum grows with roots. As long as it is in the soil that has been watered with medicinal water, it will not wither. I didn't think that yesterday I was afraid that it would catch the cold, so I brought it into the house, but I saved it.
Already." The butler murmured.
It is not difficult to see that the housekeeper is particularly concerned about this pot of red plums, almost treating it as a life-like existence.
If something happens to Hongmei, I'm afraid the butler's last thoughts will be cut off.
"This red plum...was given to you by an old friend?" Jiang Huan asked tentatively.
The housekeeper was sincere to Chen Ruyi. Jiang Huan saw this sincerity, but it felt like something was being held.
He seemed to have someone or something extremely important that was held in Chen Ruyi's hand, making it impossible to pull away.
The housekeeper paused, then showed a wry smile, and there was a little moisture in his eyes, "She is my deceased wife."
"Dead wife?" This was something Jiang Huan had never thought of.
"My wife and I were fleeing a flood and had no fixed place to live. My wife was suffering from a serious illness and could not afford medical treatment. It was the prince who saved my life and my wife's. However, my wife was not very lucky. Even if the prince tried his best to save her, he could not save her.
Keep me here for a few more years." The butler, a 17-foot-tall man, now has tears in his eyes and looks extremely sad.
He slowly stroked the pot of red plums, and the nostalgia in his eyes seemed to overflow.
Just by seeing this feeling of nostalgia, Jiang Huan could almost feel the butler's heavy love for his late wife.
The sad thing in this world is that Yin and Yang are forever separated, and there is no chance of meeting each other again.
"Don't be too sad, it's most important to take good care of yourself." Jiang Huan advised softly.
The housekeeper nodded, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said solemnly, "This rain came too suddenly. Fortunately, the prince raised funds to build many pipelines to dredge floods in the past few years, which solved the flood problem that has plagued Jiangnan for many years."
If it weren’t for the prince’s great help, Jiangnan would still be worried about the floods caused by rain every time.”
The butler's words fell on Jiang Huan's ears, but they didn't taste good at all.
In order to gain the rice rights in Jiangnan and gain the trust of the people in Jiangnan, he did not hesitate to destroy what they trusted.
Jiang Huan frowned slightly, feeling guilty, but this feeling of guilt dissipated in an instant.
This is what she must do. If she doesn't do this, where will her people be?
"You don't have to worry. Now that the prince is in Jiangnan, floods will not happen again." As soon as Jiang Huan finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the house.
The visitor was panting, his face was pale, and he looked very anxious.
Jiang Huan walked through the rain curtain, and the first thing he saw was Qiu Xingjian's extremely embarrassed appearance.
"Where is Chen Ruyi?" Qiu Xingjian asked Chen Ruyi first before he could catch his breath.
This question made Jiang Huan a little confused and confused, "Didn't Chen Ruyi follow you out? Why did you come back to ask me?"
"I have to take care of things in advance. He said he would come back to Xiaoju first. Have you seen him?" Qiu Xingjian held Jiang Huan's shoulders and asked while panting.
He was sweating profusely, and his whole body was soaked by the rain. Jiang Huan frowned at the sight. Just when he was about to call his servants to get him clean clothes to change into, Qiu Xingjian stretched out his hand to indicate that there was no need for this.
"I never saw him come back. What happened that made you so anxious?" Jiang Huan couldn't help but ask.
"Last night, a heavy rain washed away the drainage pipes. Now the rain is coming fiercely, and there is already a waterlogging problem in the city. We must find Chen Ruyi quickly and ask how to solve this problem.
." As soon as Qiu Xingjian finished speaking, the housekeeper's eyes widened in astonishment, looking quite shocked.
His hands were trembling. If Jiang Huan hadn't quickly protected the pot of flowers with quick eyesight and hands, he might have lost his last thoughts about his deceased wife.
"Now is not the time to panic. Let's go to both ends to find Chen Ruyi. When we find him, we will meet at the Jiangnan city wall." After Jiang Huan said that, he and Qiu Xingjian decided on a specific meeting place, and then prepared to leave to find Chen Ruyi.
As one wishes.
The housekeeper placed the red plum on the window lattice and said seriously, "I know where the prince is. Please follow me."

This was the first time Jiang Huan saw Chen Ruyi like this, fragile and painful, as if immersed in endless darkness, struggling constantly to get rid of the pain.
He was lying on the bed of ice. If it weren't for the slightly frowning brow, Jiang Huan would have thought he was dead.
Chen Ruyi's legs were covered with silver needles, and his arms were also smeared with something like honey, which was sticky and covered both of his arms.
Jiang Huan held his breath and raised his hand to signal the housekeeper and Qiu Xingjian to stay away.
If he read it correctly, Chen Ruyi was treating his legs in an extremely cruel way.
Insert poisonous needles into the legs and fight poison with poison to control the spread of toxins.
Once this method is not mastered well, it is likely to cause toxins to flow back, and then it will no longer be a problem of the legs being unable to walk normally.
I am afraid that my life will be threatened.
Jiang Huan did not dare to approach easily. She brought back the stone door of the secret room and then asked, "Does Chen Ruyi use this method to treat his legs every time he goes to Jiangnan?"
It is not that simple to fight fire with fire.
At the very least, it will take decades before you can see the effects.
Moreover, it was a two-pronged method of ice bed and cold poison. Although it was indeed possible for Chen Ruyi's legs to recover, the damage caused to Chen Ruyi's body by the invasion of cold poison was irreversible.
The biggest result is that Chen Ruyi's lifespan will be shortened.
The butler remained silent, acquiescing to the matter.
"Nonsense." Jiang Huan looked sulky, looking quite anxious, "Although this method can temporarily make Chen Ruyi's legs walk like a normal person, it will cost his life.
If this continues for a long time, then he may not live to be twenty-two years old!"
Jiang Huan's words are not alarmist. Chen Ruyi's current situation is not good. If he treats his legs with this sinister method, let alone the age of twenty-two, whether he can survive the next winter safely will be a huge problem.
question.
"The prince said that he must have his legs cured. Even if they cannot be cured, he still has to be able to walk like a normal person before the wedding banquet with the fifth princess." The housekeeper hesitated, "The prince said, if he is
Holding a wedding banquet in a wheelchair would make the Fifth Princess laugh."
