Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1297
Mrs. Bai raised her head and looked at Bai Li who came in with many boxes. She suddenly made up her mind and made up her mind to tell Jiang Jingqiu to her son.

In fact, after much selection, there was indeed no daughter-in-law more suitable than Jiang Jingqiu.

Although his temper is a little wild, the Bai family has a big business. If there is no wife who can't bear the disadvantage, the son will definitely suffer in the future.

It is good to have a virtuous wife, but the family has already collected nine of them. As gentle as you want, you will be as gentle as you want, and as virtuous as you want, you will be as virtuous as possible.

Naturally, I want to marry my son to a woman who is a leader both inside and outside.

She had met Jiang Jingqiu several times. She had a cunning and tenacious temperament, which made her very suitable for that bastard. She would definitely be able to control him.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai's sadness faded a little.

She looked at the boxes Bai Li had put down and asked, "Has the warehouse been cleaned out? Nothing good was left behind, right?"

Bai Li responded: "Mother, don't worry! My son promises that what he brings here will definitely not be comparable to what's in the treasury."

Mrs. Bai scolded: "Send it to Mr. Baili, why did you bring it here?"

Bai Li responded quickly: "The medicinal materials have been moved to Mr. Baili's place. These things are all antiques."

"There is Guanyin who has been receiving incense for hundreds of years, and there is also a statue of the mother-in-law on the bedside, which will definitely bless my sister."

"In addition, there are some soothing and refreshing things bought from foreign countries. I brought them all to my sister."

Mrs. Bai's face became better now: "It's like an elder brother. I didn't give birth to you in vain."

Bai Li drooped his head and muttered: "I knew I was worse than the ones you picked up."

Mrs. Bai ignored his complaints and wanted to bring all the good things in the house.

It was precisely because of her move that Baili Wuxiang was able to make pills from precious and rare medicinal materials to replenish Dong Sui's deficient energy and blood.

Mrs. Bai left all her business behind and moved into Dong Sui's courtyard, taking care of her with all her clothes on.

Another two days passed.

Dong Sui became even weaker.

When she wakes up, she can't say a few words, and she just mumbles. Sometimes even if she is awake, there is no response when you talk to her.

Daoxiang and Sister Dong cried all day long for their increasingly frail young lady.

Fortunately, Mrs. Bai has experienced many storms. Although she really felt sorry for Dong Sui, she did not show it too much. Instead, she became the backbone of Prince Xingyang's palace.

Seeing the news that Lu Mingyu and others had not returned home, Baili Wuxiang persuaded Dong Sui to give up the child.

Dong Sui could hardly speak anymore, but still shook his head stubbornly.

Mrs. Bai understood Dong Sui's mood best. She held Dong Sui's skinny hand and said, "Sir, please stop trying to persuade her. This is Sui'er's wish. As a mother, I support her."

Baili Wuxiang rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the pharmacy anxiously to continue dispensing medicine.

Mrs. Bai stroked Dong Sui's forehead, held her withered cheek, and said softly: "Don't worry, Sui'er. No one can hurt your child as your foster mother is here."

"Rest peacefully, your stepmother and eldest brother will take care of everything for you."

Dong Sui softly said "hmm" and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

She still had nightmares, but she no longer had the strength to be afraid.

In this way, in the dream, I experienced despair and fear again and again.

Many times, you can see her frowning, and more often, you can see tears sliding down the corners of her eyes.

But despite being so weak, her baby never had fetal contractions again.

Lu Mingyong, who was on duty, was restless. Emperor Yuanwu called him several times, but he didn't respond.

"Ming Yong."

"Ming Yong."

It wasn't until Emperor Yuanwu patted him on the shoulder that he immediately bowed and apologized: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Emperor Yuanwu joked: "Are you arguing with Zhenli? Why are you so lost?"

Lu Mingyong was about to answer, but Mr. Feng walked in quickly: "Your Majesty, Duke of Yue, there has been no news from Zhongshu Ling for a long time. It was not until Cai Chen received the eight-hundred-mile emergency report that it said Guiyancheng. There is something unusual." Lu Mingyong frowned: "Eight hundred miles urgent? Liu Xiaojie's letter? Does it say what kind of unusual movement it is?"

Mr. Feng shook his head: "There is only one line written on it, 'There is something strange happening in Guiyan City', but there is no other information."

Lu Mingyong frowned and thought deeply: "This is strange. There are certain format requirements for the report of the frontier generals' uniforms. How could there be such a report?"

Emperor Yuanwu said: "Let's ignore this Tang newspaper for now. Ming Yong, will there be any information from the Qilin Guards?"

Lu Mingyong said: "Gu Huaijun's letter has never been broken. In his letter, he stated that everything was normal."

Emperor Yuanwu asked again: "Xiang Feng, when was the last letter from Zhongshu Ling?"

Mr. Feng said: "Your Majesty, I received the last letter from Zhongshu Ling about five days ago."

Emperor Yuanwu nodded slightly: "The Tang newspaper has no beginning or end. It only says that there is something unusual in Guiyan City. There has been no letter from Zhongshu Ling for several days, which means he encountered trouble there. Gu Huaijun also said that everything is normal."

"Three-party news channels, Tangbao represents the official, Zhongshu Ling represents me, and Gu Huaijun represents Qilin Guard. So tell me, which one should I believe?"

Before answering the question, Lu Mingyong said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Xingyang has been poisoned by the same poison as Feng Xiang."

"And the child in her belly may be in danger because of this. Wei Chen was distracted just now because of this."

Emperor Yuanwu was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Lu Mingyong quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, I am worried that this matter will cause panic and unrest, so few people know about it, so I did not report it to Your Majesty."

"I originally thought that I would talk to His Majesty about this matter when the matter became clearer, but I thought that this matter might affect our judgment of the situation in Guiyan City, so I revealed the truth."

Emperor Yuanwu looked at Mr. Feng thoughtfully: "So, Mr. Feng has already known about this?"

Mr. Feng replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, because I have been tracking the traces of that group of mysterious people with the Duke of Yue, I know this matter."

Emperor Yuanwu did not ask any more questions, but just concluded: "Then you can discuss it again and make your own judgment on the matter of Guiyan City."

"If there is really a problem, I'm afraid you have to go to Guiyan City tomorrow. Liu Xiaojie is the general who defends the city. He can guard one side, but if there is another problem on the border, he may not be able to survive alone."

Mr. Feng and Lu Mingyong discussed it for a moment, and then expressed their opinions: "Your Majesty, I believe that the probability of problems in Guiyan City is higher."

Emperor Yuanwu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How do you judge? What is the basis?"

Mr. Feng explained: "Gu Huaijun once pursued Prince Tusu all the way to the depths of the grassland for the safety of Guiyan City. He was there for a long time."

"When he came back, he said that Tu Su had been executed, but he had not lost many of the elite soldiers he had brought with him."

"I believe that it is extremely difficult for him to kill Tu Su on his own with only a small sacrifice. This matter must be strange."

Lu Mingyong said: "Gu Huaijun is a trustworthy person, but we cannot rule out the possibility that he may be controlled."

"Zhongshu Ling is an extremely rigorous person. He hasn't reported any news about Guiyan City for several days. It's not like his style."

"I believe there are two reasons for this situation. Either Guiyan City is in complete chaos and he cannot deliver the message; or there is a situation where he cannot deliver the message to avoid alerting the enemy."

Emperor Yuanwu immediately made a decision: "Mingyong, it seems that you must go back to Yancheng."

Lu Mingyong hesitated a little, and Emperor Yuanwu asked him, "What worries do you have?"

Lu Mingyong said: "I am worried that this is also a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The purpose is to lure me to northern Xinjiang so that I can take action against the capital."

It's not unreasonable for him to think so.

Except for Lu Mingyong, all the people who can suppress 10,000+ captives are not in Beijing at the moment.

Then it would be most appropriate for Lu Mingyong to go.

However, the imperial court now relies heavily on the Qilin Guards. If the commander is not stationed in the capital, as long as any one of the three thousand households has problems, it will cause endless troubles.

What's more, if Lu Mingyong leaves, let alone Emperor Yuanwu's safety, only Princess Zhenli and Dong Sui will be in a worrying situation.

Princess Zhenli can still return to Princess Dachang's mansion.

But what should Dong Sui do?
Thinking about this, and thinking about the birth date of the lady, a bold idea emerged in Lu Mingyong's mind.
