AWB Chapter 158 His Majesty is ill
Chapter 158 His Majesty is ill
It would be easy to defeat Yinchuan.
Yinchuan watched helplessly as Bai Sui'an tied him up, unable to resist.
He only kept asking Bai Sui'an, "So my elder brother killed you, right? You lied to us in front of so many people, don't you feel guilty?"
"You're talking about conscience?" Bai Sui'an said contemptuously, "You're here to kill me. I'm dying, and I'll have no conscience left. Do you think I should let you go?"
Tightening the rope, Bai Sui'an dragged him out.
"Then why did you just tie me up? Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of me?"
In response to Yinchuan's words, Bai Sui'an replied, "You are wanted criminals by the government. I still need to make some money from you."
After walking a little further, Bai Sui'an stopped, fearing he would run into someone, and squatted in front of Yinchuan, asking, "Anything else you want to say?"
Her half-smile made Yinchuan's heart tighten. Although he couldn't see her purpose, Yinchuan could still feel Bai Sui'an's insidiousness.
"What else do you want to do!" Yinchuan asked.
Bai Sui'an suddenly took out a pill, pinched Yinchuan's jaw and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well be mute before I die. If you have anything you want to say, you can say it in the underworld."
As soon as the pill went down his throat, Yinchuan felt as if his throat was burning with fire.
He opened his mouth, but could only make a hoarse and ferocious cry.
He couldn't believe that Bai Sui'an would actually feed him this kind of medicine.
This is all thanks to the experimental prescriptions found in the dungeon before.
She took away so many medicinal herbs, just enough to make a lot of medicine.
He is also mute, so there is no need to worry that he will be sent to the yamen and send information to Jinchuan to cause trouble.
Bai Sui'an took advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road and sent the person to the carriage before going back.
They had already eaten a lot in the backyard, so Lin Rongle invited the rabbit and the dog to the backyard to eat.
After Bai Sui'an returned, he was able to sit down and eat.
The three little girls and Ji Wei were full quickly and were now helping with the barbecue.
Zhuying asked Bai Sui'an in a low voice: "Is everything settled?"
"Well, when you send the man to the government office later, remember to bring back the reward."
They had just been to town, and there was enough food at home. Bai Sui'an thought about it, and this time she spoke as if it were a normal conversation:
"I'll make a list of the herbal seedlings grown by the villagers. You can go to town and ask how many you can buy."
Zhuying nodded naturally and said, "Okay."
The two of them seemed to be talking about serious matters suddenly, but they just happened to start talking and stopped talking after they were done.
Li Zhaodi and the others did not suspect anything. After all, it was someone else's family matter, and it would not be good for them to take it to heart.
Zhuying went to the town to do some work again. In the afternoon, Bai Sui'an went to take a look at the fields. Because the fields were not big, Zhuying and Ji Wei finished their work this morning.
Now that the water inlet and drainage are normal, Bai Sui'an has a bold idea. She grabbed a handful of soil from the medicinal field in the space and sprinkled it on a corner of the field. She will come back tomorrow to see if there will be any changes in this place.
Not long after returning home, Aunt Wang came to pick up the children. The two girls were very happy when they left.
It was in stark contrast to Aunt Wang's disheveled appearance.
I heard that they separated after a fight. Li Yao followed Li Quanwang's family, while Li Quansheng's family of four separated themselves. Now Li Quansheng has built a wall to separate the two houses.
"What about Chen?" Bai Sui'an asked.
Aunt Wang exhaled and said helplessly, "She couldn't bear to leave her child. Now that she's been badly injured, she's afraid she won't be able to recover if she goes back, so she said she'd leave her with me.
I'm in this mess because Li Quanwang found me when I went to get some money for her. My husband had a long fight with him before he finally got it back. Now there's a real grudge between the two sides. I don't know how my sister-in-law will be treated when she gets better."
"It's good that you're still alive. We'll see later." This was the only way Bai Sui'an could comfort him.
In the evening, Zhuying came back with new news.
After finishing his business at the government office, he went to Feiyun Department Store.
Now the four adults were whispering together, and Zhuying spoke directly, "News has come from the Imperial City that His Majesty has fallen ill. The Empress Dowager is going to Lingyin Temple to pray for His Majesty. This year's birthday banquet will be cancelled. All government affairs are now sent to the palace by Eunuch Gao for His Majesty to handle. Since last night, His Majesty has announced that he will take good care of himself and will not attend the morning court."
This place is remote, so news will take a long time to get here. Feiyun Department Store was able to get the news so quickly because it had spies in the imperial city who were able to quickly deliver the news here.
Ye Lingchi lowered his head and remained silent. Bai Sui'an looked at Ye Lingche, but there was not much sadness on his face.
Bai Sui'an thought that the spiritual spring water she had sent was not enough, otherwise why did His Majesty fall ill shortly after it was sent?
Or did Your Majesty not drink at all?
This is not good. The ruler of this country cannot die now. If he dies, everything will be in chaos.
Ye Lingche asked, "Didn't my great-uncle say he was going back to the Imperial City? Has he seen it yet?"
Zhu Ying shook her head: "It's hard to say. After Ning Lao entered the palace, he was left behind. It's possible that he was there to look after His Majesty personally."
Ye Lingchi said, "The situation isn't too bad. The fact that the emperor can still handle government affairs shows that he's not completely ill. He must have his own agenda, and I'm afraid he's trying to lure someone out."
"Let's wait and see. There must be many experts around the emperor. Nothing will happen for a while. With Doctor Ning here, the situation will definitely be stable." Bai Sui'an said.
At worst, she could break into the palace and force the emperor to drink the spiritual spring water to save his life.
There are many children in the family now, and two of them are in poor health. Even if they know the news, they can't do anything.
The main reason is that Bai Sui'an feels that it is not the time for her to take action. Who doesn't have people in the palace?
There is a large group of imperial doctors and guards. If the emperor can't hold on at this time, he must be too weak.
Tonight, Bai Sui'an also helped Ye Lingche walk around the yard.
The children at home are very worry-free. Lin Rongle reads books when he has time, and the other children follow him to listen to him read, so the adults don’t have to spend much time taking care of the children.
But Ye Lingche didn't look relaxed.
He is always calm, but he also always feels lost suddenly.
No matter how you think about it, it must be the emperor's affairs that made Ye Lingche suddenly depressed?
"Why are you unhappy again?"
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This time Bai Sui'an will ask directly.
"I thought my brother, like me, was indifferent to our father. Today, I sensed his emotions and found that this was not the case."
After walking a few steps, Ye Lingche could no longer walk. His legs were not as shaky as yesterday. He held Bai Sui'an's arm and stood where he was.
The tall figure loomed over Bai Sui'an, and she could see Ye Lingche's bitter face by slightly raising her head.
This is a sentimental person, Bai Sui'an thought.
"He is him and you are you, why should you be the same?" Bai Sui'an asked.
Ye Lingche's eyelashes were long and curled, casting a shadow over his eyes, dimming the inherent light in his eyes.
"I don't like my father. He's been indifferent to us since we were young. He doesn't care about our lives, but he cares about his reputation. He always praises us in front of outsiders and makes countless enemies for us in secret. We are in this situation now because of him..."
"But, what should I do if the relationship between me and my brother is damaged because of him?"
Ye Lingche's sadness made Bai Sui'an laugh out loud.
She suppressed her laughter, and only Ye Lingche heard it.
Seeing Ye Lingche's puzzled frown again, Bai Sui'an said, "You said I always treat you like a child, but haven't you noticed? If it's something related to me, you should ask your brother for help, and if it's something related to your brother, you should ask me for help.
Now that you don't know what to do, why don't you go talk to Ye Lingchi? If you don't talk to the person involved, you'll never be able to solve the problem."
