Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wei Xiyue fell asleep on the gra.s.s before being carried in by Madam Wei.
Madam Wei felt the little person in her arms become lighter and lighter. Madam Wei began to regret it. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have taught her how to plant trees. She wouldn’t have had such a sudden thought.
“Mother, go back and rest too.”
Madam Wei took off Wei Xiyue’s dirty coat and placed her under the blanket, persuading Old Matriarch Wei to go back and rest.
Old Matriach Wei looked at her sleeping great-granddaughter with worry.
On the surface, Little Seven and her wife went to the West Jin to treat the young prince of Western Jin. Their other goal was to find Second Brother. They did not say it, but she was not stupid.
That was his biological grandson. She knew what he was going to fart when he stuck out his b.u.t.t. They had most likely heard that Second Brother had appeared in West Jin, but she did not know if the news was true.
Wrongly identified corpses happened on the battlefield from time to time. It was because the war was too cruel. Sometimes, even a complete corpse was an extravagant hope.
The corpses of the eldest and second brothers did not match. She was already extremely lucky to have an eldest back. How could she dare to hope that the second brother was alive?
Would the heavens pity the Wei family so much? In that case, why did the Wei family suffer back then?
Thinking of her husband, son, and grandsons who had died on the battlefield,
Old Madam Wei cried.
If not for the fact that she still had to support this family, she would have followed them long ago.
“Mother,” Madam Wei called out to her softly.
Old Matriarch Wei wiped her tears and said in a normal tone, “I wonder how Little Seven and the others are doing in the Western Jin. Do they have any news of Second Brother? In the past, I thought that even if we couldn’t find him, it would be good to give them a memory. But looking at Xiyue now, if Second Brother can’t be found, how sad will this child be?”
Madam Wei blamed herself. “It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have taught her how to plant trees.”
Old Matriarch Wei said helplessly, “She’s thinking about her father, so how can we blame you? It’s been four years. She was not even three years old when Second Brother got into trouble. Who would have thought that she would understand everything? I can only hope that Second Brother is still alive. Even if it’s for his biological daughter, he has to live well.”
West Capital, in the courtyard.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting guarded Zhuge Qing’s bed for the entire night. In the latter half of the night, he had a high fever. Because he couldn’t take the medicine, Su Xiaoxiao injected him with a fever-reducing needle.
Despite all kinds of situations, his pulse was indeed improving. She believed what Saihua Tuo said about the half-year period.
It was also very good to extend his lifespan by half a year. At least in this half a year, he would not have to be tortured by intense illness or be restrained by the stone marrow every month. He could leave the Western Jin. This was not a bad outcome.
Wei Ting looked at Zhuge Qing worriedly. “My second brother has been unconscious for the entire night. Why isn’t he awake yet? This antidote… won’t keep people unconscious for half a year, right?”
Yesterday, he forgot to ask Sai Huatuo when his second brother would wake up.
If he really fell asleep for half a year, wouldn’t his family be anxious to death?
The three little ones woke up and came to look for their parents with a stick of candied hawthorn that Ah Yuan had bought. “Mother.”
The three little ones only greeted Su Xiaoxiao.
Alright, they were mainly looking for their mother.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged them one by one. “Have you greeted Father?”
“Father.” The three little ones had just woken up and were still a little stunned. They did not enter a scammy state and obediently called out. The three of them came to the bed and greeted their Uncle.
“Why isn’t Uncle awake?” Dahu asked.
“That’s right, that’s right. Why aren’t you awake?” Erhu asked.
“Yes.” Xiaohu licked the candied hawthorn.
The three little ones only wanted to play with their Uncle and couldn’t wake him up after calling him for a long time.
Xiaohu thought for a moment and returned to the next room to dig out his small suona.
He licked the candied hawthorn two more times and placed it on the plate on the table before walking to Zhuge Qing’s bed.
He kicked off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. His cheeks puffed up as he held the suona in his mouth. He aimed it at Zhuge Qing’s face and was about to blow it down…
Yue!”
Zhuge Qing trembled and opened his eyes.
Dreaming about Wei Xiyue successfully allowed Zhuge Qing to dodge the bullet.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the three little ones out. Wei Ting stayed in the room and told them about Sai Huatuo’s visit and the prescription.
“According to Sai Huatuo, Second Brother, you still have half a year.”
Zhuge Qing was not depressed at all. Instead, he smiled gently. “That’s good.”
To a dying person, half a year of life seemed to be stolen time. He was very satisfied.
In the courtyard, the three little ones squatted on the ground and played with marbles. Mei Ji, Fu Su, Ah Yuan, and Su Xiaoxiao sat at the stone table under the peach tree and discussed how to get the two herbs.
The a.s.sa.s.sin wasn’t there.
Mei Ji said, “In my opinion, why don’t we kill our way over and s.n.a.t.c.h Feng
Xiaoran’s Purple Lingzhi? Anyway, he definitely can’t beat us.”
Fu Su said, “We can’t beat him, but what if he destroys Second Young Master’s medicine in a fit of anger?”
Ah Yuan was not only Zhuge Qing’s coachman, but also his personal a.s.sistant and handsome butler. He thought for a moment and said, “Let’s lure Feng Xiaoran out, capture him, and force him to hand over the herbs.”
Fu Su and Mei Ji felt that this method was not bad.
Mei Ji asked bitterly, “The problem is how? He’s most likely the one who sent that Saihua Tuo. He must have been prepared. It’s impossible for him to fall for it obediently.”
In the morning, Sai Huatuo returned to the villa outside the city with the herbs he had bought.
Feng Xiaoran sat on a chair in the lobby and glanced at him. He asked indifferently, “Why are you back so late?”
Sai Huatuo said, “It was not easy to find the herbs. I asked several pharmaceutical shops. When I bought them, the city gate was already closed. I spent the night at the Drunken Immortal Abode.”
Feng Xiaoran was the boss behind-the-scenes of the Drunken Immortal Abode. Feng Xiaoran only needed to ask his subordinates if Sai Huatuo had spent the night there.
Feng Xiaoran asked, “How’s the matter I asked you to do?” Saihua Tuo said, “It’s done.”
“The herbs were really stolen by Zhuge Qing, right?”
“Yes.”
“Hmph, detestable fellow!”
Last night, when he returned to the house after taking a bath, he realized that the herb was gone. Although his subordinates said that no one had come, he did not believe that the herbs would disappear on their own. Hence, he sent Sai Huatuo to investigate Zhuge Qing.
“You told him the next half of the prescription too?”
“1 did.”
Feng Xiaoran smiled meaningfully. “In that case, he will come to take the Purple Lingzhi in my hand next.”
Saihua Tuo did not answer.
Feng Xiaoran said in satisfaction, ‘You did very well. He prided himself as the number one strategist in the world, but he never expected that the people he saved from the island would betray him so easily. It’s time for him to taste the feeling of being stabbed in the back. I can guarantee that in less than three days, his people will definitely come looking for the Purple Lingzhi. What kind of gift should I give them?”
Sai Huatuo said, “Mr. Feng, I’ve already done what you asked. Can you let me see my grandchild?”
Feng Xiaoran smiled and said, “There’s no hurry. When Zhuge Qing dies, I’ll naturally reunite you and your grandchild.”
As if he had expected to be rejected, Saihua Tuo took out a medicine bottle. “My grandson’s health is not good. He’s p.r.o.ne to illness on cold days. I brewed some pills for him. Please send someone to send them to him.”
“How troublesome,” Feng Xiaoran muttered disdainfully. He waved his hand and took a bottle of pills from him. He called over a secret guard and asked him to send the medicine to the child.
Next, Feng Xiaoran began to wait for Zhuge Qing’s people to fall into the trap.
They would definitely not use force because if they forced him into a corner, he would destroy the herb.
They could only steal it like last time. Unfortunately, he had hidden the Purple Lingzhi in a place where no one could find them. They could not steal it and would fall into the trap he had set.
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhuge Qing’s subordinates did not appear. Instead, the eunuch beside the Western Jin Emperor arrived.
Eunuch He smiled and said, “His Majesty has summoned you. Young Master Feng, please follow me into the palace..”
