Chapter 44

Seeing that she seemed to be having a nightmare, Taohua couldn't help pushing, "Girl, wake up."

Mao Tongtong was in pain, and suddenly woke up when he heard Taohua's voice, and sat up immediately.

"Miss!" Tao Hua was taken aback, and then said pleasantly: "Miss, you finally woke up. This servant is going to call the doctor!"

Hearing Taohua's familiar voice, Mao Tongtong breathed a sigh of relief.She didn't leave, she was still here.This thought made her feel relieved.It's not that she has no nostalgia for modern times.Rather, when a person has enjoyed the life of being held in the palm of his hand, it is difficult to think about the days of fighting alone.

Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, Mao Tongtong lay down again with his body limp.At this time, He Hua and Nanny Wu both rushed in.

"The girl is awake!" Seeing her opening her eyes, Madam Wu was excited.

The lotus also looks thankful.

"Miss, do you feel any discomfort?" Madam Wu asked as she touched Mao Tongtong's forehead, with a smile on her face, "Oh, the fever is gone, so it's all good now."

"Mommy, I'm thirsty." Mao Tongtong said softly.

The lotus has hurried to pour hot water.

"Miss, are you hungry? Would you like some porridge?" Mama Wu said softly.

"Mommy, I want to eat braised pork!" Mao Tongtong said coquettishly.

Grandma Wu laughed, "It's great if you want to eat! But the girl is still ill, and the doctor told you to eat something light. Is it okay to eat this braised pork in two days?"

Hearing Mammy Wu's tone as if coaxing a child, Mao Tongtong's heart warmed, and he obediently replied: "Okay, I will listen to Madam."

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here!" Tao Hua rushed in panting, holding a doctor with half-haired hair in her hand.

The doctor was staggered by the peach blossoms, and almost tripped over the threshold.

"Hurry up, my girl is awake!" Tao Hua yelled anxiously.

Su Shi also followed in, and the Chen sisters also came soon.Everyone in the room stared at the doctor to feel Mao Tongtong's pulse.

"The girl's fever has subsided, but the symptoms have not been completely eliminated. The old man prescribed a prescription, just eat three pairs. Keep warm, and eat lightly in the near future. After the medicine is finished, drink some nourishing soup to nourish your body." The doctor spoke in detail, which made everyone in the room heave a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry." Su said with a smile, and asked someone to lead the doctor down to prescribe prescriptions, and pay the consultation fee by the way.

"Sister is awake, we have been terrified these two days." Chen Ruzhu sat on the side of the bed, took Mao Tongtong's hand and said.

"It's my fault, it made everyone worry." Mao Tongtong apologized.Living in someone else's house, being so sick, I'm afraid there will be no peace.She's not a troublemaker, I'm sorry.

"What are you talking about! Could it be that you wanted to get sick yourself?" Mrs. Su came over and said, "Speaking of which, it was my negligence for not taking good care of you. I will write to your mother another day to apologize."

"Farewell, aunt!" Mao Tongtong hurriedly said: "I have already caused a lot of trouble for my aunt. Besides, letting my mother know about this will only increase her worries. It's better not to tell her."

"You, you are really sensible." Su Shi sighed, and then said: "Heal with peace of mind. Feel free to let people tell you what you want to eat. This place is just like your own home."

"Thank you, auntie, it's already fine." Mao Tongtong smiled gratefully.

Chen Ruyu remained silent all the time.She couldn't see that the family valued Mao Tongtong so much.In her heart, she even suspected that Mao Tongtong was getting sick on purpose to attract attention.If Chen Ruzhu hadn't pulled her here, she wouldn't have wanted to watch it!
Seeing Mao Tongtong drink the medicine, Su took the two sisters of the Chen family and left, and repeatedly told her to take the medicine and recover from illness.

After all this tossing, Mao Tongtong was really hungry.When the lotus flower brought the porridge, she drank three bowls in one go before stopping.Just like this, Grandma Wu was so happy that she continued to chant Amitabha.

It will be half a month before Mao Tongtong recovers completely.It is deep winter in the capital, and the dripping water turns into ice.Mao Tongtong never had any outdoor activities and stayed indoors almost all day.Even Mammy's lessons were moved indoors to keep them from frostbite.

As soon as it entered the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was about to come, Mao Tongtong missed Mrs. Chen and the others more and more, but there was also a kind of uneasiness that was slowly growing.After the new year, the draft is only one month away.I don't know when the certainty of losing the election became uncertain.

Yangzhou, her second hometown for two lifetimes, suddenly had a feeling of never going back.Mao Chengyun, Chen Shi, and Mao Mingxuan were the people who supported her through these three years of life in another world. Why do they also have the feeling of parting forever?
"Mao Tongtong, you are still afraid after all." She laughed at herself inwardly.

How can you not be afraid?There are so many time-traveling predecessors in the novel.There are those who change history and destiny with their golden fingers; there are also those who work hard but become cannon fodder.What about her?Which will it be?
However, no matter what she thought, the draft after waiting for a year finally arrived.

Many years later, Mao Tongtong still clearly remembers that day.

In early spring, there is still a slight chill in the air.The sun had just set, and all kinds of carriages were lined up under the high palace wall outside Di'anmen.They are all show girls waiting to enter the palace for election.Mao Tongtong had already separated from the Chen sisters.They belong to different banners, so the order of the carriages is also different.When the gate of the palace opened, the carriage drove in slowly, and the surrounding was quiet, only the sound of the wheels pressing on the ground could be heard.Mao Tongtong only felt his heart beating uncomfortably with the rolling sound of the wheels.

When they arrived at Shenwumen, the carriage finally stopped, and many girls of different heights, fat and thin, and appearances came down one after another.Everyone has expectations, nervousness, fear, and apprehension on their faces.

Mao Tongtong looked around, but he didn't see Zhao Furong, the daughter of Zongbing Zhao from Yangzhou who belonged to the same banner as her.

Before and after are unfamiliar faces.But at this time, she was not allowed to back down.He could only follow the team and walked into the palace gate under the guidance of the eunuch.

The long and narrow palace road seems to have no end in sight.The show girls all bowed their heads and walked silently, the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.Mao Tongtong felt that even breathing became difficult.

At this time, she knew that when she was about to face the supreme imperial power, there was nothing new in her heart.Yes, just deep fear.

In modern times, she is just a girl from an ordinary family.In the Qing Dynasty, Ama was only a fifth-rank official.She is just an ordinary girl.And the people at the top of the power in the Forbidden City can kill her with a single word.

The so-called playful thoughts before, this will already be gone.
