home in the end

Chapter 143
"You are the queen's younger brother, but why did you say that the deaths of your fourth brother and my parents were related to the queen?" Liang Yimei adjusted her emotions and asked straightforwardly.

Hou Yunping sat down next to him, motioned Liang Yimu to sit opposite him, and explained to them: "The queen likes the fifth prince very much, but my father asked the prince to be the prince when he was four years old. The Li family guarded, and the emperor gave the decree almost without hesitation. The queen was not happy when she found out, but her father went to the border soon, and my elder brother also went to the border when I was eight years old. I don’t know what happened during this time very clear."

"But the prince's health is not good, even if the imperial doctor has been using expensive medicines, it has not improved. The prince is very smart, and the Hou and Li families are very satisfied with him. Even if the father is at the border, he will seek medical advice for the prince. That year When the Tatars invaded, my father led the army and found a medicine in a valley where he was stationed. The imperial doctor who accompanied him said that the medicine was full of vitality, and the reason why the prince’s health has been poor is because of the lack of vitality.”

"Father gave the medicine to his subordinates to take back to the fourth brother, and asked the fourth brother to take it back to the capital and hand it over to the prince. But he didn't expect that the fourth brother received his father's defeat in the conquest of Tartar and was besieged before he set off. He immediately canceled the trip and took it with him. The soldiers went to the rescue."

Speaking of this, Hou Yunping was a little depressed, "...the second brother and the third brother also received the news... Tatar seems to have been prepared for a long time. The father and the people led by the brothers were surrounded, and finally only the fourth brother took the lead. Several hidden guards from my Hou family broke out, the strange thing is that the fourth brother did not go back to Beijing directly, but went to Quanzhou by detour, but the people brought by the fourth brother died, and the fourth brother was also seriously injured."

Hou Yunping looked at Liang Yimu and Liang Yimei and said: "My fourth brother fled into the woods, your father should have met my fourth brother at that time... We have already received the news in Beijing that the guards of the Hou and Li families have all been dispatched, But when the fourth brother was found, he was wearing a coarse cloth and placed under a mountain depression. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all, but we found the footprints of the people who chased and killed the fourth brother not far away. They seemed to be chasing walked with someone else."

"At that time, we guessed that someone might help the fourth brother lure him away. We also searched the whole mountain, but we couldn't find it. Later, I accidentally heard that there were bandits haunting there that year, so I just went there again, hoping to find some clues."

"Some people don't want me to find out? That's why I was injured back then. I just didn't expect to meet Miss Liang by a blessing in disguise. The dress you took out by accident at that time belonged to my fourth brother."

Hou Yunping tightened his hands, and said: "There is a small iron plate in the clothes, which is the identification of the queen's personal guard... Not long ago, I found a personal guard of the queen who hunted down my fourth brother. He said that what the queen wants is The medicine on the fourth brother."

Hou Yunping asked Liang Yimu, "Do you know if there was any medicine in your father's clothes back then?"

Liang Yimu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I only remember that my father's things were put away by my mother, and we don't have much memory."

Hou Yunping was a little disappointed, Liang Yimu's clue was also broken, but where did the medicine on the fourth brother go?
"That is to say, when my father passed by the woods, he found the fourth master who was hunted down, so he changed clothes with him and led the hunted man away to save your fourth brother?"

Hou Yunping nodded.

Liang Yimei continued to ask: "But why did my father save your fourth brother? They have no relatives and no reason."

Liang Yimu coughed, and Liang Yimei looked back at him curiously. Liang Yimu glanced at Hou Yunping and explained: "The Hou family has fought against the Tartars for a hundred years, and they have great prestige among the people, and my father has traveled far and respected the Hou family... ..."

Liang Yimei sighed, and Hou Yunping said gratefully: "I also want to thank your father, otherwise we don't know how long it will take to find fourth brother?"

But he couldn't save people, did he?

However, Liang Yimu had some doubts. He glanced at Hou Yunping and saw that he didn't mind his sister's question, so he asked, "But the Hou family and the queen have related interests. Why did the queen do this?"

Hou Yunping's face suddenly turned ugly.

Liang Yimei also looked at him curiously.

Hou Yunping's expression became even uglier.

Liang Yimu quickly changed the subject, "That means my mother's death is also related to the queen?"

Hou Yunping's face brightened slightly, "Well, the queen must have poisoned you." Speaking of this, Hou Yunping curiously said: "I have someone check it out, your mother's poison was specially placed in the medicine, except In addition, the well in your house is also poisonous, if you drink it for a long time, it should be within two years... But why do you..."

Liang Yimei's heart moved, and Liang Yimu remembered what happened at that time. He used to be young and didn't care about it, but now he thought of something strange. The water at home seemed to be delicious, and the water in the water tank was always difficult to run out.

Liang Yimei tilted her head and looked at Liang Yimu, "Could it be because we had nothing to eat at that time and often went out to look for food, so we escaped the catastrophe?"

A smile flashed across Liang Yimu's lowered eyes, and when he raised his eyebrows, he frowned slightly and nodded slightly, "Maybe!"

Hou Yunping thought of the hardships their brothers and sisters had suffered when they were young, and felt guilty. He stopped asking, reached into his bosom and took out a small iron plate, and showed it to Liang Yimu, "This is what I found in the clothes Miss Liang gave me. Take a look." , Do you have any impression?"

Liang Yimu took it and looked carefully, but still shook his head. Liang Yimei leaned over to look, pointed to a place and asked curiously: "Why is there a concave mark here, as if a bead was punched in with force."

Liang Yimu touched the indentation, his face changed greatly, his hand trembled and almost dropped the iron plate on the ground.

Hou Yunping hurried forward to catch it, Liang Yimei supported Liang Yimu and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Yimu wanted to say it was okay, but seeing Hou Yunping staring at him, he swallowed the words, and said with difficulty: "I seem to have seen this iron plate, but I don't remember it clearly, it seems that my mother cleaned it up. Put it in the bottom of the cupboard when I was out of things."

Hou Yunping was suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions.Liang Yimei frowned.

Hou Yunping stood up and said goodbye, "...I don't know what's going on in Beijing, we'll set off to go back tomorrow," he said to Liang Yimu, "This time we don't have enough manpower, so you can escort us back too."

Liang Yimei was suddenly ecstatic, and temporarily put the question behind her.Although Liang Yimu was also very happy, the gloom in his heart was still lingering.

Liang Yimu sent Hou Yunping there, but he still couldn't help asking: "General, what kind of medicine is so rare that you can't even find it in the palace?"

Hou Yunping responded softly, "I don't know what the medicine is. People who have seen the medicine have all died. The queen only knows that there is a medicine, but the medicine is full of vitality, so it should be easy to recognize."

"Then, what about the imperial physician?"

"They all died in that battle."

……

When Liang Yimu came back, Hou Yunping sent people to set up the tent for the two brothers and sisters. Liang Yimu pulled Liang Yimei into the tent and taught him a lesson: "After all, he is the Marquis of Changping. Although our family is kind to them, you can't drink like this. He talked, you should pay more attention in the future."

Liang Yimei responded indiscriminately, but asked what happened just now, "Why did Big Brother say that just now? Even I can hear that there are many loopholes, let alone him?"

Liang Yimu covered Liang Yimei's mouth and looked out nervously.

Liang Yimei pulled his hand down, pointed at Hui Hui and said, "If anyone can hear what's going on outside, Hui Hui will tell me."

Liang Yimu looked at Hui Hui curiously, "Is it really the little mouse from before? Wasn't it gray before? How did it become white?"

Liang Yimei said vaguely: "It has evolved." Then she pouted: "Brother, what did you just..."

Liang Yimu's face became serious, and he told her about the strangeness in the forest just now, and finally looked at her stomach and said: "I suspect that the bead is... medicine!"

Liang Yimei was startled, rubbed her stomach and looked at Huihui, who was also looking back at her.

Liang Yimu said: "I remember one time my aunt steamed a bowl of egg custard for my mother, and my mother gave it to me and my second brother because she was reluctant to eat it. You were so young at that time, and your mother was sick and couldn't take care of you, so you always Cry, my second brother and I will feed you that bowl of egg custard."

Liang Yimu licked his lips, "At that time, you had a stomachache not long after eating egg custard, and my mother was very worried... After I went to bed at night, I was worried about you, so I ran to see you, and saw my mother holding a bead and feeding it to you. You eat... all these years, if I didn't see you like this today, I would hardly remember it."

Liang Yimu pulled Liang Yimei over, and asked seriously: "How did you get the elixir you gave to brother?"

Liang Yimei's face was a little pale, if people knew that she had taken the prince's medicine?Liang Yimei asked worriedly, "Will they cut open my stomach?"

Liang Yimu forced a smile and said: "No, they don't know."

There are traces of everything, who knows when they will find out the truth?Although it is outrageous that there is a space in that bead, but she can come to this world, what else can't happen?
Liang Yimei suddenly remembered that Huiyuan once told her that he had two things that could not be counted, one of which was the prince's lifespan. Could it be that her appearance took away the prince's medicine, so...

Liang Yimei was very worried, wondering if Huiyuan could figure out anything else?
Seeing that her complexion was not good, Liang Yimu comforted her and said, "No one knows about this matter... Do you still have the psychic liquid? Or, use the psychic liquid to cure the prince, and then they will naturally not think about it... something."

Liang Yimei's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly.The spiritual liquid is so miraculous, it should be able to cure him, right?
