Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 247 Returning from the Southern Kingdom (1)
And after the toxin was removed, his body would fall into the weakest stage, so the two had to rest in Dongzhi for a while.

Five days later, Chu Yu was walking outside with Jiang Li, but Lou Xiyue came with a letter and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Yun sent it."

Chu Yu took it and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Lou Xiyue said: "Southern Country."

Southland?

Jiang Li couldn't help but look slightly sideways, but Chu Yu quickly opened it, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

"What's the matter? Zixiu?" Jiang Li looked at Chu Yu's face with a slightly strange expression.

Chu Yu held her hand and said, "Ah Li, your father is seriously ill, you probably have to go back soon."

Is Ding'an Hou seriously ill?
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, Chu Yu held her hand, and said, "After making the covenant with Dongzhi, I will take the army back to Chu State first, and I probably won't be able to go with you during this time. You go ahead. The Southern Emperor's birthday is approaching, so I will come right away."

Jiang Li looked at him, not yet separated, but already began to miss him.

Chu Yu hugged her tightly, put his chin on her hair, and said, "Wait for me, Ah Li."

The night is deep, with floating clouds on thousands of islands, clouds and mists overseas, and a blue moon and an old sky.

The jade steps stretched to a high place, and the strong wind brought the feeling of saltiness. The man in red knelt respectfully on the jade-colored ground and said, "Father."

In this world, it is probably only in front of such a person that he will absolutely bow down.

What he was kneeling on was just a black shadow.

The broad black robe is like clouds in the sky, he wears a high crown, and on his back wrist is a string of simple Buddhist beads.

He just stood on the jade steps like that, as if he didn't pay attention to Feng Jian Liuli who was kneeling behind him, and he didn't know how long it took before he sighed: "Ah Yue is dead."

His voice sighed slightly, with a sense of indescribable compassion, like the sound of mercy, drifting along the long wind of the night to farther places.

Kazama Liuli didn't dare to make a sound, she could only press her head deeply to the ground.

After a long time, he said again: "Kazama, that kid is very powerful, isn't he?"

"It's quite powerful." Kazama Liuli said.

He said: "You also said that he is amazing, so that child is a talent to be made."

"Compared to his adoptive father, he is not worth mentioning."

The benevolent gaze of the man in black slowly slid across the sky, covering it like night.

"That child, I've been waiting for him for a long, long time."

Although there is a word "South" in Nanguo, it is not located in the south of the Central Plains, but in the northeast corner, surrounded by the sea over there, and the fishery industry is developed in a different way.

In May, the early summer when the tea plants are gone, the fragrance of wisteria and woody fragrance is still there, and the whole Rongcheng is a sea of ​​purple.Legend has it that the founding queen of the Southern Kingdom liked these two plants very much, so Taizu ordered the entire Rongcheng City to be filled with these two plants. Every May is the busiest time in the Southern Kingdom.

As for Emperor Zhenghe of the Southern Kingdom, whose birthday was in May, his fiftieth birthday seemed extraordinarily grand.

Ding'an Hou Mansion.

Nanny Zhang opened the curtain and came out, and happened to meet Qiaomei who was walking from the courtyard of the third lady, so she stretched out her hand to beckon her over, and said, "Qiaomei, come here."

The little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, she was not born in the family, and she just bought it. She was a little timid when she saw Madam Zhang, she squeezed the wisteria basket tightly in her hand, then ran over with strides, and shouted: " Madam Zhang."

Nanny Zhang glanced at her basket and asked, "Is this for Miss San?"

"Yes." Qiaomei replied, "This morning, the third miss saw Mu Xianghua's beauty, so she asked Cailing and I to pick a basket, and we were going to take it to the small room, and asked them to make a mouthful. fat."

Nanny Zhang glanced at the basket of woody flowers, bright red and dewy, her eyes vacantly passed over her body, and said: "This basket of flowers is not bad, and the second young lady's lips are almost gone. Now, it’s understandable for my younger sister to be considerate of her older sister, so she took the things to the second young lady’s small room, and picked a basket of wisteria flowers along the way, and asked someone to make dried flowers into a sachet.”

Qiaomei didn't understand, she looked at Madam Zhang timidly: "But Miss San is called a slave..."

Nanny Zhang snorted coldly, knocked down the basket of flowers, and said, "Why? Don't you want to?! I'll go to my wife to say something in the morning, even a basket of flowers can't bear it? I hurt my sister's kindness because of this basket of flowers. , It’s embarrassing to our Ding’an Hou Mansion! I really don’t know any rules, and I lack training at such a young age, so I should go to Zhang An to learn the rules!”

When Qiaomei heard this, her face turned pale, she looked at a basket of flowers scattered all over the ground, she knelt on the ground and said, "Nurse Zhang, don't, Miss San will kill me..."

She begged anxiously, what is Zhang An's place? When she entered the mansion, she heard from others that men would shed several layers of skin even if they did not die when they arrived there, while women would come back without a clean slate. Even the dead body can't be found. In the huge Ding'anhou Mansion, no one would care if there are fewer people, let alone a helpless one like her.

Nanny Zhang looked at her coldly, flicked her sleeves and wanted to leave, when a voice came from beside her: "Mommy Zhang."

A big girl in an apricot-yellow shirt came over, and when the nanny saw it, she immediately showed a smiling face: "Why did Miss Ning come here? Is the sour plum soup given to Miss Ning the entrance? Today, the back room just A few bolts of satin have been brought in, which compliment Miss Ning's complexion, do you want to show it to Miss Ning?"

Miss Naning smiled, and said: "Nurse Zhang's sour plum soup is very good. I don't need that piece of satin. Mrs. Qian'er just gave it to me. I will save some summer clothes for the girls. What's wrong with this girl?"

Nanny Zhang squeezed out a little smile: "I asked this girl to give flowers to Second Miss, but this girl won't do it."

When Qiaomei heard this, she just wanted to refute, but Miss Ning laughed instead, and said: "The little girl is not sensible, she just bought it, so there is no need for Madam Zhang to be angry with her. okay."

Nanny Zhang said with a dry smile, "What Miss Ning said is true."

Miss Naning said to Qiaomei: "Don't you take the things away and go to be taught?"

"Yes." Qiaomei answered with tears in her eyes, she hastily put away the basket and petals, and quickly left.

Miss Ning turned her head and glanced at her, said: "Nurse Zhang, you are in charge of the back room, I want to ask, is there someone living in the original Bamboo Garden?"

Nanny Zhang said: "Since that one left the cabinet the year before last, the courtyard has been empty."

Miss Ning said: "Clean up the yard, arrange what should be placed, and arrange the antique screen according to the grade of the eldest lady."
