Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 411 Growth

  Qiyun covered her face with her sleeves and cried silently.

   It is heartbreaking for such a young child to suffer such pain.

   Brother Jue whispered, "I really don't feel pain."

Qiyun wiped her tears, choked up and said, "Brother Jue is the bravest. Mother Yun is not going anywhere, just here with you." Brother Jue hummed obediently, and then looked at Qiyun with longing eyes : "Where's your mother?"

   He listened to what Sister Xuan said. The mother has returned.

   However, my mother was also ill, lying on the bed, unable to come to see him.

  Qiyun coaxed softly: "After a few days, Niangniang will be able to get out of bed, and I will come to see you."

   Brother Jue didn't make a fuss, and nodded again, so sensible and well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.

  The Zhou Yuan envoy took off the golden needles on Brother Jue's body and prepared a medicinal bath with the imperial physicians.

  The wooden barrel is filled with hot medicinal soup, which exudes a strong and bitter medicinal smell. Brother Jue was stripped naked and put into the medicine bucket. The soaking took half an hour.

  The medicated bath is very exhausting. Brother Jue was already weak and fell asleep after soaking for a while.

   Qiyun sat by the bucket and kept wiping Brother Kui with a hot and humid towel. After half an hour, the drowsy Brother Jue was taken out, wiped clean and placed on the bed to continue sleeping.

"elder brother!"

   Sister Xuan ran to the bedside with her chubby legs.

  Qiyun hurriedly coaxed softly: "Sister Xuan, don't make trouble with your brother. My brother is ill, so he can't get out of bed, and he doesn't have the energy to play with you. Would you like to play alone?"

   Sister Xuan, who has a bad temper, changed her usual domineering and naughty eyes, opened her black and white eyes, and whispered: "I don't make trouble."

   She just wanted to stay by her brother's side.

   Qiyun's eyes were hot, she turned her head to one side, and after a while, she turned around, and Sister Chong Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, be good, sit by the bed and play."

  Xuan answered happily, sat beside the bed, and played with the little doll made of cotton. Softly, there was no sound.

   Sister Xuan played for a while, and she thought the room was stuffy, so she quietly ran outside the room to play for a while. After a while, he came in again and stayed beside the bed.

   This ordeal made Brother Jue suffer, but he also showed extraordinary tenacity. Sister Xuan also seems to have grown up overnight, so cute and pitiful.

   Brother Jue slept for more than an hour before waking up.

   Sister Xuan leaned her head and called out to her brother in a low voice.

   Brother Jue responded in a low voice and called out to his sister.

   Brother and sister, you look at me, I look at you, and grinned together.

   Qiyun's heart was sour and warm, and she said softly, "Brother Jue has been sleeping for so long, so she must be hungry. This servant will pass the meal."

   Soon, the palace servant came in with a big food box.

   Brother Jue was in a coma for a few days before he woke up. His stomach was weak and he could only drink some light rice porridge. The rest, such as beef soup ribs and the like, are all for Sister Xuan.

   Brother Jue took a few mouthfuls of porridge and looked at his sister who was eating deliciously: "I want to eat pork ribs."

  Sister Xuan replied in the same way, "You are sick and cannot eat."

   Childish language and childish language made everyone chuckle.

After   Xuan was full, she started thinking about her mother and said to Qiyun, "I want to see my mother."

   Brother Jue said eagerly, "I miss my mother too."

  Qiyun had to speak kindly to appease Brother Jue. When Brother Jue was coaxed to sleep again, he carried Sister Xuan to Lu Mingyu's bedroom.

  Lu Mingyu's injuries were not minor this time, and she lost too much blood. No matter how good her health was, she couldn't help it. He was still lying on the bed today, his cheeks pale and bloodless.

   Seeing his daughter, Lu Mingyu smiled.

   Sister Xuan took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and snuggled beside her mother.

   "Sister Xuan, what did you eat for lunch today?" Lu Mingyu asked with a chuckle.

   Sister Xuan replied, "Beef soup, ribs."

   Children who love to eat meat are strong and strong. Lu Mingyu smiled and praised Sister Xuan, and then asked, "Where's my brother, what did you eat?"

  Xuan raised her head and looked at her mother: "Brother is drinking porridge. Mother, brother also wants to eat meat."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and felt sour again.

  The two brothers and sisters generally like to eat meat. Brother Jue is inseparable from meat and fishy at every meal. This time, Brother Jue was poisoned. First, he was unconscious, and then he had to slowly detoxify and recover. I don't know how thin he was.

  Qiyun has always blamed herself for this, so she couldn't ask in detail, lest Qiyun continue to feel guilty and suffer.

  A palace servant came in quietly to report: "Reporting to the Crown Princess, the Lu Mansion sent a message to the palace, wanting to visit her."

  Lu Mingyu's heart warmed and nodded slightly: "Let them enter the palace tomorrow."

  …

   The next day, Lu Mingfang and Shen Lan entered the palace together.

  The news of Lu Mingyu's injury spread to the ears of everyone in the Lu Mansion, and everyone was anxious and worried. A few days ago, Lu Mingyu hadn't woken up, so everyone had to endure it. Now that Lu Mingyu has woken up, everyone can't hold back any longer, and they all want to visit the palace.

   It was Shen Lan who stopped everyone: "There are many incidents in the palace, and the situation is unknown. The crown prince and concubine are recovering from injuries again, so it should not be too noisy. My eldest sister and I are entering the palace, so don't go and wait for the news in the palace!"

   A bunch of people came to the palace to visit the sick, which is really not very decent.

   So, Lu Mingfang and Aunt Shen Lan entered the East Palace.

   Seeing Lu Mingyu, Lu Mingfang's eyes were red.

  Lu Mingyu was brought up by her. She was in good health since she was a child and almost never got sick. No matter what time, he is always in high spirits.

   Now, Lu Mingyu was lying on the bed with a pale face, bloodless, looking extremely weak.

"Fourth sister," Lu Mingfang sat on the edge of the bed and held Lu Mingyu's hand with choked sobs: "How can you be so impulsive, leading 2,000 people to rush into the Yan army barracks to assassinate the chief general of the Yan army! Fortunately, the assassination was successful. , you have returned safely. If there is something wrong, what will happen to brother and sister Xuan? What will happen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What will our Lu family do?"

  A great victory was fought outside the gate of Zhengde, and all the Yan army bowed their heads. The heroic and fearless "Prince Concubine assassinated Yan Man's general" has long been spread throughout the capital.

  Lu Mingfang was proud of the fourth sister, but also felt afraid, and talked for a long time.

  Lu Mingyu didn't make excuses and let Lu Mingfang scold.

Shen Lan gave the pale and powerless Lu Mingyu a distressed look, and then softly comforted Lu Mingfang: "A great victory has been won, the siege of the capital has been lifted, and the innocent people who died tragically know that it was the Crown Princess who avenged them. I can also feel at ease. I know that the eldest sister is distressed for the fourth sister, but it is already like this now, the eldest sister should not scold her. "

  Lu Mingfang wiped her tears with her sleeve and whispered, "I'm not scolding her, I'm distressed. Look at what she looks like now. There are so many military generals in Dawei who can fight, where do you need her as a prince concubine to charge into battle!"

  Lu Mingyu finally opened his mouth and said, "Eldest sister, being able to kill Yan Tuo with your own hands is a great blessing in my life!"

  Lu Mingfang: "..."
