The general's wife is sick

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers still occasionally rang out in the capital. The noise made people unable to sleep peacefully, so they had to get up early to pay New Year's greetings.

Ji Liu faced the mirror to cover her dark circles with fine powder. Although everyone’s rest time was short after last night’s New Year’s Eve vigil, the year represents a day of new hope. Even if you take two steps, you may fall asleep. However, those who need to visit still have to visit at home.

Ji Chengyue and his colleagues invited him to go out early. Brothers Ji Qingyun and Ji Zhanpeng also had classmates who wanted to visit. In previous years, Jia Caixia was the only one in the backyard. This year, Ji Liu was also in the mansion, so the two went together.

Today Ji Liu's first obeisance is Princess Heshuo.

In brocade clothes, Ji Liu changed into the second set of clothes from Immortal Clothes Pavilion. The overall clothes are red, and the shoulders are slightly open, allowing the wearer to see the slender and graceful neck at a glance. The matte embroidery brings out all the brilliance Contained in the clothes, only those who know how to do it understand the preciousness of the clothes.The waist belt outlines the figure of the wearer, and the calf is slanted wide cloth, which can be used as a skirt or trousers.

Before going out, Cheng Cheng put the sable fur on Ji Liu to cover his white and tender neck.

Sitting in the carriage, Ji Liu asked inadvertently, "Xiao Fen, have you delivered the medicine that you were asked to send to the General's Mansion?"

Cheng Cheng suppressed his yawn, "Brother Feng sent it over, young master, don't worry."

General's House.

Other mansions are welcoming and sending off, and there is an endless stream of New Year greetings, but the gate of Xiong's mansion is closed. Everyone knows that Xiong Jinghai will go out to quell the chaos after the year, and no one rushes to visit him to add New Year's greetings to add chaos when he is going out.

Xiong Jinghai was dressed in a black military uniform, holding a Mo Dao in his hand, and he immediately swung the sword, extremely majestic!

His camp was stationed outside the capital city, and this time, after celebrating the new year in the mansion, he had to rush to the camp early in the morning, when the city gate first opened, and set off with the large army.

"Father, mother, Ali, wait for my good news!"

"Okay, Mom and Dad are waiting for you!" Xiong Feng is used to seeing parting, and so is Princess Guangyang.

Xiong Zhengli was supported by the servant and stood at the inner door. Ji Liu's medical treatment for him was hidden from everyone, so even though his health has improved now, he still can't show it to others.

He looked at Xiong Jinghai who was on the horse, and with the ambition of a man stirring in his heart, he said silently, "Brother, when I get better, let's go together!"

"I'm leaving!"

He raised his voice loudly, speaking to Xiong Zhengli inside the door.

Lifting his foot and pinching the horse's belly, the horse immediately ran wildly, galloping away on the wide streets of the capital.

Here, Jia Caixia brought Ji Liu out of Princess Heshuo's mansion, and greeted the people who came to pay New Year's greetings at the door, and everyone was beaming.

Counting the time, Xiong Jinghai should have already left the capital, and Ji Liu's heart suddenly became empty.

But right now is not the time to be distracted by him, Yan Bao's situation is the most urgent and must be handled properly.

At Ziyang Earl's Mansion, Ji Liu came to visit with gifts, together with Jia Caixia.

Maybe it's a new year and a new atmosphere, or maybe it's because people who are an eyesore are about to disappear from his eyes. Wang Xinru is in the happiest time of spring, and he is polite and polite to everyone he sees.

"Liu'er's clothes are actually more stunning than the ones on the palace banquet. It makes people's eyes brighten at a glance."

Even if she is a tiger girl, her ideas and hobbies will be influenced by the people around her after she gets married. Wang Xinru, who likes swords, gradually fell in love with clothes and jewelry in her long-term back house.

Jia Caixia smiled and said, "Ma'am, praise."

"But still the clothes from "Xianyi Pavilion"?"

"Mrs., that's right." Ji Liu nodded obediently.

"The craftsmanship of this family is really good. A person who is already extraordinary, wearing this clothes really looks like a fairy descended from the world!"

"Ma'am, it's absurd. It's not easy to ask at the palace banquet. Liu'er wants to know, is Bao Shuangshao's illness better now?" Ji Liu asked.

Wang Xinru sighed, and lamented on the face, "Bao'er's illness is fierce, and he is already bedridden, please remember him, I will talk to your mother, you go and see him."

Ji Liu was shocked, as if she saw some signal from Wang Xinru's face, she stood up and saluted everyone, then hurried to Yan Bao's yard.

The people in Yanbao Courtyard moved very lightly, and there was no sound in Nuo Da's courtyard. Compared with the joyous atmosphere of other courtyards, although there are red light buildings hanging here, there is a sense of decadence everywhere.

Pushing open the door, Yan Bao's bed was guarded by two maids, one of whom was the suspected big maid Zhaohua.

"Meet Liu Shuangshao!"

The two maids saluted, Zhaohua's eyes were swollen as big as walnuts, the other was named Zirong, her face was also covered with tears.

Ji Liu walked forward quickly, grabbed Yan Bao's hand, and said softly, "Brother Yan, I'm here to see you."

Yan Bao opened his eyes, his pale face was extremely weak, Ji Liu seemed unwilling to see his weak appearance at this time, turned his head, and reprimanded him in a low voice, "Why cry during the New Year's Eve, it's unlucky, you all go out and wait !"

After driving away the two maidservants, Ji Liu burst out laughing, "Brother Yan, with your appearance, how much powder is on your face?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped his face, and sure enough, a layer of fine powder stained his fingertips.

Yan Bao patted his arm, "Don't make fun of me, otherwise, I can't hide my face."

His silk-entangling poison has been cured. For the past two days, he pretended to be sick and took supplements as food. His face was rosy and shiny after the supplements, and the fine hairs on his face could be seen clearly. Such a complexion did not look like a person who would faint at every turn. The one who fell?

"I see that Zhaohua is still there, isn't she the ghost?" Ji Liu asked with a smile.

Speaking of this, Yan Bao was silent for a while, "I checked, it's not her."

Looking at Yan Bao's expression, Ji Liu asked tentatively, "But after all, he is still the person by your side?"

"Yes...it's Madoka."

"It's him?" Ji Liu knew that the double attendant beside Yan Bao was Xiaoyuan.

Yan Bao burst into tears immediately. He sat up, held Ji Liu's hand and cried, "Xiaoyuan has been with me since I was a child. Over the years, I have doubted Zhaohua and Zirong, but I have never doubted him, but In the end, it was he who betrayed me and helped my aunt poison all these things in my room!"

"Don't cry, why did he poison you?" Ji Liu was puzzled, "He followed you since childhood, so it stands to reason that he is the closest to you."

This kind of childhood friendship can no longer be said to be a simple master-servant relationship, and it is deeper than brotherhood. How could there be betrayal?

Yan Bao wiped his tears and said, "You may have heard that my mother is the daughter of a criminal minister, and my grandfather Wang He was the chief officer in the case of the collapse of the river dam. Because of his dereliction of duty, the people in the lower reaches of the river dam His home was destroyed by the flood, and many people died at that time. Xiaoyuan's parents and brothers were all killed in that flood. He was trafficked and sold to the capital, and bought into the mansion by Wang Xinru. From the very beginning, he followed me. Wang Xinru designed it!"

"She's so vicious! But why didn't she just kill you? As the mistress of the mansion, it's easier for her to assassinate a young child, isn't it?"

Yan Bao gave him an aggrieved look, his eyes seemed to accuse Ji Liu of being disappointed that he didn't die now.

"I think she wants to watch me consume my life little by little and die in front of my father and aunt, so that I can make them sad to the greatest extent."

Ji Liu understood, and nodded, "Murderous, this woman is really vicious!"

A small child who dies is certainly more devastating than a raised child who loses his life before his eyes.

Nurturing for many years, how much hard work and sweat, the joy brought by the child's growth, every word, every action after losing the child, will be a sharp weapon to defeat the father or mother who loves the child deeply.

"Where is Madoka now?"

"I locked him up." Yan Bao's deep disappointment made him feel lifeless.

Ji Liu shook his hand, "Now that people have found out, what do you want to do next?"

"I don't know, I really don't know, Wang Zhiyuan is the general of the city defense army, my aunt and I just rely on our father's favor, we don't have the strength to fight her, or, why don't I take my aunt and run away, leave the capital , get out of here, um... You, can you lend me some money? But, even if you lend it to me, I may not be able to return it to you." The more Yan Bao said, his voice became softer, and the more he spoke, the more guilty he became.

Really promising!

Ji Liu sighed, "Don't be afraid, the court only opens on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. Before that, you must protect yourself. I saw Aunt Yun today. She is fine. You can rest assured. As long as If you hold on, I can help you."

Yan Bao held his hand, nodding his head like a chicken eating rice, hope filled his eyes, "I will persevere, brother Liu, you must help me, help me and my aunt!"

Patting the back of Yan Bao's hand, Ji Liu comforted him, and the peach blossom face was calm and composed, which invisibly brought Yan Bao stability.

"But if Xiao Yuan belongs to your aunt, how do you explain his disappearance for so long?"

Yan Bao directly told Ji Liu with a stunned expression that he hadn't thought of this.

Sighing again, Ji Liu said, "It's okay for a day or two, but after a long time, Xiaoyuan's disappearance will definitely not be hidden."

"Then what should I do? If I release him, she will also know that I have known the truth of the matter. Will my aunt be in danger?"

"Where did you lock him up?"

Yan Bao said an address, which was the place where Aunt Yun secretly sent a doctor from other places to treat him, no one knew it.

"Okay, I get it, tomorrow morning, you will have someone pick Xiaoyuan back. I guarantee that he is not in danger of his life, and he will not be able to speak. When the time comes, you can pretend to be sick and wait for the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"

"Brother Liu! You are my reborn parents, I swear, in this life, as long as you say a word, I will do my best!" Yan Bao burst into tears again, big tears rolled down his cheeks, hugging Ji Liu wet his clothes.

After finally persuading him, Yan Bao wiped away his tears in shame, and said timidly, "Brother Liu, I haven't bothered to tell you that your clothes are so beautiful, where did you buy them?"

"..."

"You like me giving you two pieces!"

Ji Liu can't laugh or cry, just now she has solved a life-threatening matter, and she turned her head to appreciate the new clothes, this pair is just like women, the topic of clothes and jewelry will never go out of fashion!

Yan Bao twitched, his eyelashes trembling, "That's so embarrassing, just tell me where I can buy it myself."

"When you are well, I will take you there."

"Thank you Brother Liu in advance. After a while, I opened a private warehouse. As long as you like the things in it, you can pick whatever you want!"

Yan Bao has already regarded him as his closest friend, and his private treasury is open to Ren Jiliu to choose.

But Ji Liu chuckled, he still didn't like Yan Bao's small wealth, "You just keep it for yourself, be filial to your aunt, and do more good things for the people, otherwise there will always be villains who know the past and stare at you." I won't let you go."

"Actually, my aunt and I give alms in Minzhou every year to make up for my grandfather's sins, but that's the case. In Xiaoyuan's eyes, we are still sinners. I know that this kind of sin cannot be compensated by giving alms afterwards, but We are also working hard, our hearts are also condemned, my grandfather's family has been exiled, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and we are doing our best to make up for it."

"I know it, I know it all."

Ji Liu sent someone to check. He already knew about the kind deeds of Yan Bao and Aunt Yun in Minzhou. no good.

If such a kind person dies, it will be a loss to the people of Minzhou.
