Abandoned

Xiao Jiuzheng is thinking that Chia Ya is still unwilling to tell himself a certain secret that he does not know. If the secret is not too big, then he is thinking too much. Of course, Xiao Jiuzheng thinks the former is more likely.However, Xiao Jiuzheng doesn't care too much now, after all, she can also feel that Chia Ya's feelings for her are increasing day by day, which is more important than anything else.Xiao Jiuzheng felt that it was impossible for him to tell Chia Ya everything, and it was not so difficult for Chia Ya to hide one or two secrets from herself.It would be best if Chia Ya is willing to tell herself, but if not, Xiao Jiuzheng is naturally unwilling to force Chia Ya.

"Chia Ya always stretches herself too tight." Xiao Jiuzheng said distressedly, she didn't want to watch Chia Ya stretch herself too tight, especially recently, Chia Ya is like a tight string, getting tighter and tighter.Xiao Jiuzheng felt distressed and let Chia lie on her lap, and her hands were naturally inserted into Chia's hair. This seems to have become her habit for many years. Even when Chia is sleeping with her now, she almost no longer has nightmares. But she will still massage acupuncture points for Chia Ya, because she knows Chia Ya likes it.

"Fortunately, as long as I'm by your side, I'll naturally relax." Strange to say, as long as she's by Xiao Jiuzheng's side, she can sleep very peacefully and won't have nightmares anymore.But as long as she left Xiao Jiuzheng's side and went to the army, she would have nightmares from her previous life from time to time, but Chia Ya never told Xiao Jiuzheng that she didn't want Xiao Jiucheng to worry about herself.Chia Ya feels very much like her previous life. Her soul can only feel peaceful when she is by Xiao Jiuzheng's side. It seems that there is a close bond between her and Xiao Jiuzheng in the dark.

"Then you should always be by my side." Xiao Jiuzheng said with a gentle smile.

"Yes." Chia Ya replied softly, she also wanted to stay by Xiao Jiuzheng's side all the time.Being massaged by Xiao Jiuzheng on the head, Chia Ya's body and mind entered a state of complete relaxation, which made Chia Ya quickly fall asleep on Xiao Jiuzheng's lap.

Xiao Jiuzheng looked at Chia Ya who was asleep, there was a faint shadow under Chia Ya's eyelids, as if she was very tired, looking at Xiao Jiuzheng felt very distressed.

Xiao Jiuzheng felt that after Chia Ya's serious illness at the age of 17, she seemed to have grown many years suddenly. She felt that there was an invisible net on Chia Ya's body, which probably contained all Chia Ya's secrets, and Chia Ya was also covered by this net Entangled, Xiao Jiuzheng hopes that one day, he can strip off this net that makes her feel bound for Chia.

Ten days later, the envoys of the imperial court came to the Dugu family's fief, and passed on the imperial decree, which was exactly what Xiao Jiuzheng said. Asahi.

"My father's old illness relapsed half a month ago, and he has been bedridden for more than half a month. I am afraid that he will disappoint the good wishes of the Holy Majesty. If my father can recover from his illness, he will definitely go to Beijing to plead guilty." Dugucheng said to the envoy that he had prepared a lot before rhetoric.

"This is the first time His Majesty has hosted such a grand banquet for all the officials, and he attaches great importance to it. General Dugu is ill at this time. It is really not the right time. If there is no major problem, please come to Beijing." The emperor said Explain that Dugu Jin must be brought back to the capital, if he fails to do this, his official career will come to an end.

"The old illness has relapsed, and it's coming fiercely. I really can't stand the hard work." Dugucheng said very resolutely.

"Oh, as the great general is the pillar of the country and the blessing of the country, the Holy Majesty must also be very concerned about the general's condition. If you can let me visit him personally, then I can explain to the Holy Majesty." Qian Yi said, is Dugu in the end? Whether it is a real disease or a fake disease, he wants to find out.

"Well, father, father was shot with poisonous arrows in Miaojiang back then, leaving the root of the disease, which could not be cured. Now the flesh of the wound from the poisoned arrow began to rot, which made my father feel unbearable pain and couldn't get out of bed. If Mr. Qian doesn't think the bedroom smells rancid, please come with me." Dugucheng then invited Qian Yi into his father's bedroom.

As soon as Qian Yi entered the room, he really smelled the stench of rotting meat, which made him do evil, but before he was sure whether Dugu Jin was really ill or a fake illness, Qian Yi could only endure it. He saw Dugu Jin lying on the bed, It was indeed Dugu Jin, his face was earthy, very ugly, he seemed to be in a coma.

"A while ago I heard that the general was training soldiers, why did the old illness suddenly relapse?" Qian Yi asked.

"Ever since the wound was shot by a poisonous arrow, it has been bleeding pus, and it cannot be cured. My father endured it normally. Unexpectedly, half a month ago, the pus suddenly rotted around. , It has become such a field, the doctor is helpless..." Dugucheng hesitated to speak as he spoke, as if he was very sad.

"Can you let me take a look at the wound so that I can report it to the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will definitely send an imperial doctor from the palace to treat the General." Qian Yi said with a look of concern.

"Alright." Dugu Cheng lifted the quilt, revealing Dugu Jin's large area of ​​rotten back that looked extremely disgusting. Not to mention, it also exuded a pungent and unpleasant stench, which made Qian Yi hold his hand and retch immediately. He got up, didn't see clearly at all, and exited the bedroom.

"Master Qian, are you alright?" Dugu Cheng asked Qian Yi, who was retching, but there was contempt in the corner of his mouth.It was just the rotten human skin scraped from the body of a dead man who had been dead for a long time. He guessed that Qian Yi didn't see clearly at all and escaped. He felt that these literati were the worst thing to do.

"I'm fine." Suppressing the nausea that surged up in his stomach, he said reluctantly.

"Father can't go out now." Dugu Cheng said with a worried face and a heavy tone.

"Since the general can't go to the capital to congratulate him, the son is strong and can go to the capital to congratulate him instead of his father." Qian Yi felt that if Dugu Jin couldn't go back with him, he should at least bring Dugu Jin's only son, Dugu Cheng, into the capital again. This is not a waste of time.

"Qian also saw his father's current situation. I want to be filial to my father in the mansion. How can I go away at this time?" Dugucheng asked back.

"That's right, but it's not good for the Dugu family not to send someone to the capital to congratulate the sage on his birthday. If the young master can't take it, how about letting Miss Dugu come to Beijing to congratulate? The thirteen princesses that the Holy Majesty loves the most have also stayed in the Taoist temple for two or three years, and the Holy Majesty will definitely love the house. Speaking of which, the eldest lady is born of Princess Chengyang, and she is also the granddaughter of the Holy Majesty. Miss Dugu has gone, and the Majesty I must be very happy.

"Impossible!" Dugucheng said forcefully, asking his sister to go to the capital, don't even think about it, but after saying it, Dugucheng found that his attitude was too tough. You should be more polite, try to evade, put filial piety first, and evade anyone who does not meet the requirements of the Dugu family.

Qian Yi really looked at Dugucheng differently, as if he was exploring something.

"It's like this. My father has always loved my sister the most, and I definitely want my sister to be by my side. My father is just me and my sister, a son and a daughter. No matter who is missing, he will not be happy. At this time, my sister and I can only Father is the most important thing in everything, I think the emperor can understand, after all, the emperor has always ruled the world with filial piety." Dugucheng remedied.

"However, the emperor specially invited the Dugu family to the banquet. No one from the Dugu family came to Beijing. It doesn't seem very good. Neither the young master nor Miss Dugu can enter the capital. Then the young lady of the Dugu family can always enter the capital." Qian Yi is also in a hurry, as long as It's from Dugu's family, and it's fine to bring any one back to Beijing. It's better than nothing.

Dugucheng is also stupid, this money is really hard to spend, all his ideas are on Xiao Jiuzheng, after all Xiao Jiuzheng is a foreign wife who married into Dugu's family, Xiao Jiuzheng's position is different from that of his siblings, now Dugucheng I don't know how to shirk it.

"I have been pregnant for nine months. My father has been looking forward to seeing the grandson of the Dugu family at ten o'clock. My father wants to see my grandson. My father's current situation is not optimistic. If there is an emergency, wouldn't I never see him again?" His grandson." Xiao Jiuzheng came in pretending to have a big belly, and said to Qian Yi.

"That's it, Jiucheng can't go to the capital." Dugucheng is glad that Xiao Jiuzheng came to the end in time. He didn't understand why it was so troublesome. Anyway, sooner or later he would have to tear himself apart with the imperial court. The envoy is true.

"If your Dugu family doesn't come to Beijing to celebrate your birthday, and you are a powerful minister with a heavy army in your hand, it will inevitably make those who are interested in you suspicious, and you will inevitably be suspected of supporting yourself." Qian Yi said tentatively.

"The Qing Dynasty is self-clearing, and my father is seriously ill when he enters Beijing. It is not optimistic. How can the Dugu family support themselves?" Xiao Jiuzheng asked rhetorically.

"Well, if the Dugu family doesn't come to Beijing to congratulate, I hope that the Dugu family can consciously hand in the military talisman to show their loyalty. Otherwise, it will be difficult to block everyone's mouth and reassure the emperor." Qian Yi also did not back down. He said that he should do something, so that he can make a difference.

"The military talisman is related to the safety of the country. There is no meaning in the imperial decree to ask my father to hand over the military talisman. As long as the emperor has a decree, let the Dugu family hand over the military talisman. It is really inappropriate to ask the Dugu family to hand over the military talisman, it is related to the safety of the country, although Mr. Qian is definitely not a collaborator and traitor, but he is not afraid of [-] but just in case, what do you think, Mr. Qian?" Xiao Jiuzheng asked rhetorically.

Qian Yi's words are poor, the Dugu family is determined, they will not hand over the military talisman, and they will not send people to Beijing to congratulate him. Originally, he thought that Dugu Jin's sudden serious illness was a bit strange, but now he felt that it was unusual. If the Dugu family had a different intention, He definitely couldn't bring anyone back to Dugu's family, even he might be in danger.

"It's Qian Yi's lack of consideration. Since Dugu's family is in trouble, I will definitely go back to Beijing and report to the emperor about the difficulties of Dugu's family." Qian Yi said quickly.

"Lord Qian might as well stay a few more days. If my father's condition improves, my husband can go to Beijing with Lord Qian to congratulate him." Xiao Jiuzheng changed his mind and left room.

"Then I will stay in Dugu Mansion for five days. I just hope that the general will recover soon." After Xiao Jiuzheng said so, Qian Yi could only stay in Dugu Mansion for a few days. He also wanted to find out the details of the Dugu Family. After returning, he explained to the emperor.

"Jiucheng, why do you still keep Qian Yi in the mansion?" Du Gucheng asked puzzled, he always felt that Qian Yi was not a law-abiding guy.

"First, to delay time. Second, our courtesy to Qian Yi is to convey a message to the old emperor. We are not rebelling, or we are not in a hurry to rebel, and we are not even ready to rebel." Xiao Jiuzheng said.

"What's the use of this?" Dugu Cheng was eager to start the fight immediately.

Xiao Jiuzheng's thoughts, only Dugu Jin and Qian Ya understand, they are waiting for the best time to mislead the enemy, rather than being the first bird to beat the stick.

"Cheng'er, there will be wars for you in the future, so you can't be impatient." Dugu Jin said to Dugu Cheng, his son only wanted to fight, and he didn't understand the big picture at all.

"In a few days, the King Wu's mansion raises private soldiers, makes weapons privately, and sells private salt. The evidence will be in the hands of the old emperor. Let's see the old emperor's countermeasures against King Wu's mansion first, and then we will make plans." Xiao Jiuzheng said with a smile, Let's talk about Prince Wu's Mansion first, it would be best for Prince Wu's Mansion to mess up the situation first.

As soon as Qian Yi entered the city, Xiao Jiucheng issued a notice saying that the commercial market would be rectified and closed for a few days. Once the commercial market stopped, the flow of people would decrease immediately. Knowing the wealth of Dugu's family, although Qian Yi can also find out a little bit, but only look at its appearance, but can't see its bones.

Qian Yi, who stayed for a few days, still did not wait for Dugu Jin to recover from his illness, so he could only return to Beijing to return to his life.

Not long after Qian Yi left, Xiao Jiucheng received the latest news from the capital. After the old emperor knew that the Wu Palace had rebellious intentions, he did not immediately treat the Wu Palace. The marriage partner is Li Xiu of Duke Huguo's Mansion.

Obviously, the old emperor wanted to strengthen the loyalty of the Duke Huguo Mansion. After all, the Duke Huguo Mansion was already a pawn that could no longer be lost to the imperial court. Thinking that if Li Xiu and Xiao Jingxi got married, they would be related by marriage to Prince Wu's Mansion and Dugu Mansion. A vassal king with different intentions, a general with a heavy army in his hand, and the Duke of Huguo's mansion who also holds a heavy army in his hand. If these three forces are strangled together, just thinking about it, the old emperor would feel chills down his spine.Originally, the major families in the court were all married to each other, and there were inextricably linked relationships. In the past, the old emperor didn't think much of it, but now, he feels that there are many crises and he is very anxious.

Speaking of which, the three-year mourning agreement between Li Xiu and Xiao Jingxi will expire in three months, and the emperor suddenly bestows a marriage. To Li Xiu, it seems like a disaster from heaven.
