Chapter 256 256 Bad News
As her reputation grew, more and more patients came to her for treatment, and time passed quietly in this busy life.
And the war situation in Xidu Mansion is getting more and more tense.
During this period, Qi Qi received letters from Xidu Prefecture every few days, and learned from the letters that Qi Moxuan had been found and was safe and sound.
Qi Qi couldn't let go of her worries. Qi Moxuan had an accident in the past. Although he was found, the reason and process were not detailed in the letter. Thinking about it, it was probably extremely dangerous.
To be honest, she wanted to go to Xidu Mansion to see it in person.
However, I had promised my two children before that I would definitely take them with me when I go out in the future.
It's just that the Xidu Mansion was desolate and the war situation was unknown. If she took them with her rashly, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to protect them.
Qi Qi held the pen absentmindedly and remained still for a long time. Finally, a drop of ink couldn't bear it and dripped down. There was a black spot on the white paper underneath.
"Madam, are you tired? Why don't you go to bed early today?" Banxia stepped forward cautiously to remind her.
"No need." Qi Qi shook his head and ordered calmly, "Go out and send a message to Su Hong and ask San Jin to come over."
Recalling the dream she had just had, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, only to find that it was late at night. She slumped down on the edge of the bed, feeling at a loss and confused.
"So, what's the latest news?" Qi Qi couldn't help but feel excited when she asked this question.
The loose gold came quickly. After Qi Qi had breakfast, he was waiting in the living room.
"It's okay, don't worry." Qi Qi said lightly and said nothing more.
At night, Qi Qi was not restless in her sleep. She clenched her fists with both hands, her brows were furrowed, and there was sweat on her forehead.
Although Qingdai was worried about Qi Qi after hearing this, she still wisely withdrew and stood guard at the door.
"I will rest after writing this letter. I don't need you to serve me here. You can go back and rest."
Give the letter to the secret guard in black and hope it can be delivered quickly.
"Don't worry, ma'am. Your Majesty will of course have a record. Our army's food and grass are usually scattered. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. How can eggs be put in one basket?" Sanjin felt that Qi Qi was so concerned about his master.
I am very pleased, and I respect my master's decision with great honor.
After a long time, he seemed to be ruthless and ready to fight, and said, "I have received news that Xiliang is attacking quickly and fiercely. There is a spy in Wangye's army. The Xiliang army is pretending to attack our army. The real purpose is to go around to the rear of our army and burn it."
Our army's food and fodder were stolen, and our army suffered heavy losses."
When Sanjin heard Qi Qi's words, something was wrong with his expression. Qi Qi's heart sank and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth, is something wrong with the prince?"
"Um..." Sanjin hesitated, his eyes evasive, not daring to look at Qi Qi.
She asked a lot of questions, and I hope there will be clues in the next letter that can help her answer her questions.
The spring sunshine poured into the room through the window without any enthusiasm, sweeping away the gloom of the night.
"Come in." Qi Qi rubbed her temples and managed to cheer up.
Today she received a safe letter from Pei Sheng, but she felt a little uneasy after reading it. She always felt that Pei Sheng was not telling the truth, so she was in a trance just now.
She grabbed the corner of her collar and gasped for air, her eyes still full of shock and fear.
The scene of Pei Sheng being struck by the sword played over and over again in her mind, again and again, and she couldn't get rid of it.
"Madam, are you awake?" Qingdai and Banxia entered the house carrying basins of water.
"Madam..." Qingdai hesitated to speak. She was also very worried about Qi Qi, but she didn't know what to say.
There is a saying on the battlefield that before the men and horses move, food and grass go first. This shows how important food and grass are to war.
The smile on Sanjin's face froze for an instant, and his expression was a little funny. When he adjusted his expression again, there was no more perfunctory expression on his face, and he said seriously and rigorously, "Xidu Mansion is not close to Kyoto, even if you use the best
Even if a flying eagle comes to deliver a message, it will take two days to deliver the message."
Banxia was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Okay, slave, I'll go right away." After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.
"No, no, get away quickly..." With a scream, Qi Qi suddenly woke up from her sleep and sat up.
"Madam." Sanjin saluted respectfully.
Qi Qi slowly leaned against the head of the bed, curled up into a ball, and calmed down her panicked mood.
"The Holy One should have received the message today." Sanjin considered, "As for the reaction? The Holy One should have sent someone to send an extra batch of food and grass."
"Okay, tell the truth." Qi Qi waved her hand to stop his lies, stared at him sharply and said, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh. It's so ugly."
Qi Qi suddenly woke up and realized that the white paper was stained with ink. She sighed, silently changed a piece of paper, dipped it in ink again, picked up the pen and started writing a letter.
"Madam, I'd better stay with you for a while longer." Banxia patiently stood aside and waited.
"That's good." Qi Qi murmured softly, but her heart was not stable. Then she thought of something and asked with some anxiety, "Does Your Majesty know this news? What is your reaction?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Qi Qi's eyes, uh, so does that mean that the news from King Shen's side is faster than that from Emperor Pei?
Qi Qi thought for a moment and then asked, "Is the prince injured?"
"Madam, are you feeling unwell? Please ask Dr. Jiang to come over..." Seeing that Qi Qi was not in good spirits, Banxia was worried.
"It's so serious." Qi Qi couldn't help exclaiming, and asked anxiously, "Has it all been burned down? Doesn't the prince have any backup plans?"
Qi Qi did not reply to her words and concentrated on writing the letter.
"Sanjin, sit down." Qi Qi motioned him to sit down first. The maid brought tea. Qi Qi took a sip of tea and then said casually, "I have a nightmare."
Sanjin's eyes were a little blurry. He remembered what the prince had said before he left, and he really didn't know how to respond.
Qi Qi gave her a comforting look, "You go out first, Sanjin and I have something to talk about."
Sanjin's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a big smile on his face, "How could it be possible? Didn't Madam just receive a letter from the prince yesterday? The prince is very nice..."
"What, Madam, are you okay?" Qingdai's heart tightened, and she asked why Madam looked so bad today.
There were footsteps outside the door, and Qi Qi woke up in a daze, her eyes empty.
There really is no three hundred taels of silver in this place, and there is a black line of lacquer, and he said, "Why don't you tell me quickly, what happened to the prince? Is the injury serious?"
"No, it's not serious." Sanjin was a little frightened when he saw his wife getting angry. After all, Qi Qi's previous image in front of others was always gentle and gentle.
"Where's the injury? Tell me carefully." Qi Qi was so angry at this man that she wanted to pry open his head and see for herself.
"I received a knife on my shoulder. Don't worry, I have used the best medicine for sores."
