lucky star girl

Chapter 75 Illness
Seeing this urgent letter, Xu Shiqiu couldn't care less about finding a letter for Dong Shu, so he hurriedly dropped the other letters and opened this letter.

Xu Shiqiu first glanced at the letter with one eye and three lines. After knowing what was going on, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to read the letter carefully.

Dong Shu was still waiting for Xu Shiqiu to get the letter for herself, but after seeing what Xianggong did next, she held back her words until she watched him carefully read the letter in his hand.

"Sir, is there something wrong in the capital?" After Dong Shu asked this, she thought for a while and continued, "Didn't something happen to Yan Zhu?"

"No." After hearing Dong Shu's question, Xu Shiqiu replied subconsciously, then looked up at Dong Shu and said, "It's not Yan Zhu, but the Holy One."

When Dong Shu heard that Xu Yanzhu had something to do, she planned to ask again, but she didn't expect that she didn't ask, but her husband told her.

"The Holy Majesty felt a little unwell when autumn began. At first I thought it was just a little cold, but it didn't get better after a month. Because the Holy Majesty has not been well, the capital is a bit chaotic." Xu Shiqiu said about it , but I was thinking about what might happen in the capital now.

Dong Shu didn't understand so much. After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Then this matter will affect Yanzhu?"

"Not only Yanzhu, but also my sister, I'm afraid they will all be affected by this matter." Xu Shiqiu watched Dong Shu say this, and after sighing in his heart, he lowered his head and found Xu Yanzhu's letter to him in a pile of letters. The little lady's letter, "A letter from Yanzhu to you." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu also sent the letter in front of Dong Shu.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately put aside what he said just now, happily accepted the letter he sent, then slowly opened it, and just read it in front of Xu Shiqiu.

After Dong Shu carefully read the letter Xu Yanzhu wrote to her, Xu Shiqiu picked up the letter he had just read and read it over and over again.

The emperor was ill and still not recovering, but there was no imperial decree for the crown prince in the palace.

Recently, although the princes who may be competing for the throne have not caused any trouble, he knows that this must be the calm before the storm.

They don't dare to make any noise now, it must be because of the cold, although the emperor is not recovering.

Feng Han would indeed kill him, but Ye Shuo's letter also said that the emperor would still go to the court every day, but the speed of reviewing the memorials was slower, and he began to reuse several princes.

If it weren't for the Tai Hospital meticulously treating the emperor every day, and the emperor's face is indeed a little haggard, I am afraid that some people would suspect that he is pretending.

The princes felt that this was the emperor's final test for them, so no matter how dissatisfied they were, they endured it.

Ye Shuo's letter also said that King Duan proposed to hand over military power, but was rejected by the emperor.

But Ye Shuo found out from his father that this time King Duan proposed to hand over the military power after discussing with the emperor.

If the trick of handing over the military power was really negotiated by King Duan and the emperor, then this is just a play they played. Maybe the emperor has already decided who will take over the military power. What we are waiting for now is to see if anyone takes the initiative jump out.

After thinking about this in his heart, Xu Shiqiu was faintly worried about Xu Yanzhu.

Xu Yanzhu had just married into Jiang's family, so she might not have had time to find out what happened back then, but now that something like this happened again, if the crown prince really fell on the third prince, even if they found out something, it would be difficult to stumble down him.

Because of this, Xu Shiqiu thought for several days in embarrassment but did not come up with a good idea.

Fortunately, in the past few days, Dong Shu's mind has been attracted by Dong Miao's marriage, otherwise she would definitely find something wrong with Xu Shiqiu.

It stands to reason that Dong Lei is not married yet, and it is not easy for Dong Miao to get married.

But the Dong family now understands that Dong Lei follows Xu Shiqiu, and as the teahouse business in the county gets better and better, and Dong Lei gradually starts to help with other shops' affairs, he will be more and more valued by Xu Shiqiu.

The ordinary girls in Xiahe Village are not good enough for him now.

Under such circumstances, Dong Miao, who was one year older than Dong Shu, naturally couldn't procrastinate any longer. With Dong Lei's insistence, after agreeing to be the only son of a grocery store in the town, she decided to get married in the twelfth lunar month of this year.

Because of this, Dong Shu was attracted attention. Although she was pregnant and couldn't go out, listening to this every day also killed a lot of time.

Xu Shiqiu's original plan was to send Dong Lei away, and then teach the Dong family a lesson.

But I don't know if Dong Lei noticed something or what happened. Under Dong Lei's instructions, the Dong family has been very peaceful recently.

At the beginning of autumn, Xu Shiqiu really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Dong Lei was not at home to torment the Dong family, especially the Dai family.

But there was Dong Miao who was told by Dong Lei to be at home, so when Dai heard that Dong Shu wanted to eat roasted rooster with chestnuts, she not only caught the little rooster at home, but also went to pick a lot of chestnuts, peeled off the thorns on the outside, , together with the little rooster let Dong Miao send to the Xu family.

If it was just this matter, Xu Shiqiu might have tried to find a way to torment Dai Shi again, but he learned from Dong Miao that Dai Shi was preparing a small quilt for the child in Dong Shu's womb at home.

"Niang said that although Shu'er was born in spring, she still had to make the Baijia quilt that should be made by my grandfather's family, but the families in the village are not rich, and the face of the small quilt is made of burlap.

But the inside of the quilt is made of fine cotton cloth I bought in the town, and it has also been washed, so it will definitely not make my nephew uncomfortable. "

Dong Miao said this to Dong Shu. Although Dong Shu was not moved, she believed that the big aunt's change must be because of her cousin.

"Auntie listens to her cousin most. This matter must have been explained to her by her cousin. With my cousin's explanation, my aunt will indeed do this."

After Xu Shiqiu listened to the little lady's words, he also guessed that Dong Lei might have told Dai Shi something when he left home.

It was just because of this that he had to postpone the thought of teaching Dai a lesson this winter.

Even if it wasn't because of Dong Lei, Xu Shiqiu still had some scruples now.

After all, the little lady is still pregnant, and Dai is making hundreds of quilts at home every day. Naturally, he should be more cautious about things related to his own children.

However, although Dong Shu was attracted by Dong Miao's marriage, Xu Shiqiu was still noticed by Mrs. Xu.

"Shiqiu, do you have something on your mind recently?" Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu after saying this, and seeing that he seemed to want to deny it, she hurriedly continued: "It should be that after the letter from the capital was delivered a few days ago, you have I'm worried."

What Xu Shiqiu originally wanted to deny, but after hearing Mrs. Xu's words, he could only shake his head helplessly and said, "I do have something on my mind."

After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she stared at him with big crescent eyes in surprise and said, "Sir, I didn't even know you had something on your mind." After saying this, Dong Shu, who was holding her stomach, sighed softly Then he continued: "If Mother hadn't opened her mouth today, I might never have found out that you have something on your mind."

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu looked at her with a smile and said, "Young lady, you don't need to be sad. I deliberately covered it up, so you didn't find it normal." Xu Shiqiu naturally didn't want to see his little lady sad, so he said After saying this, he hurriedly looked at Mrs. Xu and winked.

After receiving Xu Shiqiu's wink, Mrs. Xu held back her smile, first she looked at Dong Shu and said, "Mrs. Dong, mother can see through Shiqiu's concerns because mother has rich experience and mother gave birth to Shiqiu after all." After saying this, seeing from the corner of the eye that Xu Shiqiu was still dissatisfied, Mrs. Xu continued to hold back her smile and said, "You haven't been married to Shiqiu for a year, so how can you have a mother who understands Shiqiu. When you and Shiqiu get married in the future Qiu has been together for a long time, and I will definitely know Shi Qiu better than my mother."

When Dong Shu heard the old lady Xu's words, her eyes lit up and said: "Mother is right, when I spend a long time with my husband, I will soon find out that something is wrong with my husband."

Xu Shiqiu really didn't expect the little lady to say such a thing, and listening to the little lady's words, Xu Shiqiu also understood why his mother said that just now.

He was worried that the little lady would be angry because of his concealment, but now it seems that his little lady is not concerned about this at all.

Because this matter was confirmed, Xu Shiqiu dared to look at his mother and say something about Ye Shuo's letter before.

"I'm worried that the third prince will be made the crown prince before Yanzhu starts to investigate." Xu Shiqiu watched the old lady Xu finish her words, and saw that the old lady also frowned in thought, and hurriedly continued: "If the sage can do more If we live for a few years, it is not impossible for us to trip up a prince, but if..."

Without Xu Shiqiu's next words, Mrs. Xu understood.

As long as the third prince does not ascend the throne for a day, even if he is the prince, he can be killed, but if he ascends the throne as the emperor...

"Hey, Shiqiu, it really doesn't work, you should go back to Beijing." Mrs. Xu wanted to say this a long time ago, but she never had a suitable opportunity before, but now she heard what Xu Shiqiu said, but she said it out , "Although Yanzhu is in the capital, you are too far away from the capital here. Even if there is any news from the capital, I will send it to you quickly. When you have arrangements, it will be too late."

The old lady Xu was right. She was not in a hurry before and asked Xu Yanzhu to go to the capital to collect information because she did not know the news of the Holy Majesty's illness.

But now if the Holy Majesty really appoints the third prince as the crown prince, their plan will be much more difficult.

And Ru Sheng is not good, even if the capital sends him a message, when he arrives in the capital, the third prince may also ascend the throne.

"But now there is no suitable opportunity for me to return to Beijing, and besides, my wife is about to give birth, so I don't feel relieved to leave at this time."

Xu Shiqiu watched Old Madam Xu speak, although she didn't speak very clearly, Old Madam Xu could still understand.

She knows about her son's bad luck, and he will be safe and sound recently because of the blessed Mrs. Dong by his side.

If he goes to the capital alone, maybe he will be exposed before he arrives in the capital.

After all, his luck that anyone who gets close to him will be unlucky is really too evil, and no one in the capital does not know it.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing his mother sigh, Xu Shiqiu didn't speak again.

It's just that neither Xu Shiqiu nor Mrs. Xu thought that Xu Shiqiu's chance to return to the capital would come so soon.
