Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 422 Return (3)

  Li Jing gave a loud "eh".

   All the sadness and parting were instantly dissipated, and my chest was filled with joy and excitement.

   Blood is thicker than water. It is natural for fathers and daughters to be close. After sister Xuan shouted, she put her head close to Li Jing's arms. Accidentally, he touched the wound on Li Jing's chest.

  Li Jing did not move his brows.

  Lu Mingyu was quite attentive, and immediately stretched out his right hand to hug Sister Xuan: "Your injury is not healed yet, I will hug Sister Xuan."

  Li Jing immediately gave in and whispered, "Your arm is also injured, so you can't use force. Let me hold it!"

   Having said that, it’s pretty miserable.

   The couple looked at each other helplessly and smiled.

   Queen Qiao and Princess Hui'an came over slowly. Empress Qiao felt sorry for her son, so she hurriedly hugged Sister Xuan in her arms: "Sister Xuan is so fat, even I find it difficult to hold her. You are injured, so don't use too much force."

  My mother cherishes her son, but she can't do it enough.

  Li Jing accepted Queen Qiao's kindness with kindness: "The queen mother loves me so much, thank the queen mother."

   Everyone moved into the East Palace together.

  Li Jing was thinking about Brother Jue in his heart, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Jue?"

Queen Qiao's expression darkened, and she sighed in a low voice: "It's a long story. On the same day, the Lu family led troops out of the palace to assassinate Yan Tuo. Both children stayed in the East Palace. I never thought that Concubine Su had hidden evil intentions and secretly bought one. Chamberlain, poisoned brother and sister Xuan..."

   Before he finished speaking, Li Jing's face changed suddenly: "How is Brother Jue?"

"Don't worry," Lu Mingyu answered in a low voice, "Sister Xuan is fine, brother Jue has been poisoned, but the toxicity is relatively mild. The imperial doctor has been giving him acupuncture, and he also used medicated baths and decoctions to expel the poison. After so many days, I have seen a lot of improvement. It's just that I can't stay at the bed yet, and I haven't taken it out of the dormitory. If you want to see your son, you can go later. "

   Li Jing was anxious in his heart, how could he bear it any longer, he immediately got up and said, "I'll go now."

  Lu Mingyu could feel Li Jing's urgency, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

   Sister Xuan shouted "Brother". Queen Qiao didn't see her grandson for a long time, and she remembered it very much.

  Princess Hui'an went along with her.

   Brother Jue was soaking naked in the medicine bucket, originally drowsy, when he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes immediately. Then, he was surrounded by a group of people.

   Mother, grandmother, aunt, sister.

  Wait, who is this person?

  Brother Jue tried her best to open her eyes wide and looked at Li Jing who was excited and tearful: "Who are you?"

  The two brothers and sisters were exactly the same, and even his own father couldn't tell who was the older brother and who was the younger sister. This poisoning made Brother Jue thinner, his face and body thinner. This thin, Brother Jue is more and more handsome, but also pale and weak.

   and the plump and sturdy sister Xuan formed a clear contrast.

  Li Jing's throat seemed to be blocked by something, so he couldn't speak: "Brother Jue, I'm your father."

   Brother Jue and Sister Xuan said the same thing before: "It's not like that."

  Li Jing burst into tears, reached out to hold his son's little hand, and was speechless.

Lu Mingyu's nose was full of sourness, and squeezed out a smile to coax Brother Jue: "Dad is sick and has become thinner, not as good-looking as in the picture. Just like Brother Jue, now he's sick and not so fat. "

   Brother Jue then obediently called out Dad.

   Queen Qiao also turned her head to one side and quietly wiped her tears for a while.

  …

   When everyone calmed down, it was already half an hour later.

   Brother Jue took a medicinal bath, put on his clothes, and drank the herbal medicine, and lay in his father's arms very comfortably. Lu Mingyu hugged Sister Xuan, and Queen Qiao and Princess Hui'an also sat aside.

   At this moment, there are no queens, princes, princesses and princesses. It's just a family sitting together and saying goodbye.

   "Ajing, apart from the chest injury, have you been injured anywhere else?" Queen Qiao asked her son with concern, if it wasn't for the fact that her son was too old, she would have wanted her son to take off his clothes and take a look.

  Li Jing smiled lightly and said: "Leading troops to go into battle, occasionally there are minor injuries, but they are all taken care of. There is not even a scar on the body, so the mother doesn't have to worry."

   Princess Hui'an hurriedly asked: "How did you get hurt when you chased Yan Bing?"

  Li Jing recalled the situation that day, and he also felt lingering fears. He replied in a low voice: "Yan Tuo is not well-known, but he is actually cunning and resourceful. He secretly trained the dead soldiers, and these dead soldiers went to the battlefield, not afraid of swords, and attacked the central army like crazy. No matter how brave the guards were, they were caught by surprise and almost broke through the formation."

   "There was also an archer in ambush among the dead. Fortunately, I wore a piece of soft armor in my armor. The arrow didn't hurt the vital point. I had to lie down for nearly two months before I could stay in bed."

   Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

   Queen Qiao's eyes were red again, and she kept wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "It's God's blessing!"

   In front of Queen Qiao and Princess Hui'an, Lu Mingyu couldn't say anything, only gave Li Jing a deep look.

   The self-blame and guilt in that glance can only be understood by Li Jing.

   Li Jing's heart warmed and winked at Lu Mingyu.

   Lu Mingyu had a smile in his eyes.

   The two eyebrows of the husband and wife came and went, and the room was inexplicably hot. Princess Hui'an coughed and gestured to Queen Qiao with her eyes, should we go?

   Queen Qiao was reluctant to leave, but Quan Dang didn't see it, and continued to ask, "You have been bumpy along the way, has your injury recurred?"

Li Jing smiled to appease Queen Qiao: "The carriage I was riding in was specially changed, and there was a narrow couch on the carriage, which was padded with thick quilts. Traveling in the army was hard, I lay on the narrow couch every day, and there was nothing to worry about. The imperial doctor is by my side, and every day he diagnoses the pulse and prescribes medicine, and he never fails."

"It's easy to say, your body is injured, you don't have a good rest, so you have to run for such a long distance." Queen Qiao's nasal voice was thick and her voice was choked: "To toss with your body like this, if there is something wrong, how can you be right. You If you don’t think about yourself, you should also think about your own mother. Your wife and children, as well as your elder sister, all have to rely on you to live. In the future, you must never do this again.”

   "Yes, yes, I promise, I will take good care of my body in the future. Until I recover, I will not even take a step in the East Palace." Li Jing had to comfort Queen Qiao with good words.

  Lu Mingyu couldn't talk for a while.

   However, Lu Mingyu was not annoyed.

   She is also a mother-in-law, and can feel Queen Qiao's sorrow and reluctance. Anyway, when Li Jing came back, the couple wanted to talk, so there was more time, not in a hurry.
