From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 103

"No, I won't leave. I will just stay here watching her and guarding her. Hurry up and perform the acupuncture, Qian Zhong, and guard the door so that no one will disturb you." Although he doesn't know medicine, he knows that acupuncture requires absolute silence. And it must not be interrupted in the middle.Therefore, Qian Zhong had to be guarded at the door, otherwise it would be troublesome for that short-sighted person to rush in.

Qian Zhong is the emperor's confidant, and also the chief eunuch in the palace, usually even the empress would give him three points of face, let alone other people.Mei Xin was very relieved that he was guarding the door, and suddenly found that the emperor was not as unfeeling towards Concubine Rong as she imagined.

In the previous life, Cheng Sichu said that Concubine Rong was hanged to death, and he still didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is so.Although she invited herself to leave the clan back then, the blood ties cannot be broken, and in her heart, her elder brother is still her elder brother, and the Mei family is still her home.Even without the Mei family name, she is still the Mei family. The stubbornness and pride of the Mei family have already penetrated into her bones, fused into her blood, and buried deep in her heart.

In her previous life, she chose to hang herself the day after the Mei family was ransacked and exterminated. The purpose was obvious, that is to live and die with the Mei family.Now, why did she commit suicide by taking poison?
Could it be that he heard that his father was seriously injured or other news about his father?
Thinking about this, Mei Xin felt that this is likely to be possible, but Liangzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and she is in the harem, how could she know about her father?

Unable to figure it out, Eunuch Qian saluted and said, "Your servant obeys the order, and my servant will leave!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed and exited, first transferred the imperial guards and then asked them to guard the gate.

After a while, Mei Xin saw that the emperor was very persistent and didn't say anything, she winked at Bai Zhi, indicating that she needn't have any scruples and would do her best to treat him.

There are no men and women in front of the doctor, and in an emergency, he doesn't care whether the man in front of him is the emperor or not.Bai Zhi nodded to indicate that she understood, then took out the scissors and cut off all the clothes on Mei Linlang's body.

Seeing that she couldn't help here, Mei Xin planned to take advantage of the chaos and go out to meet Mei Linlang's maid, Jianchun. She was the son of the Mei family, and she should know why her master committed suicide by taking poison.

The heartbeat moved and walked out with both legs, but the emperor found out after only two steps, and called her to stop and said: "Concubine Rong has been worried about your father, come and talk to her."

For a person who wants to die, the best way to keep her alive is to arouse her desire to live.Mei Linlang was terribly disappointed in him, and nothing else would help.On the contrary, Mei Xin is different, she is Mei Zhannan's daughter and her own niece, he believes that as long as she speaks, it will be useful.

Hearing the sound, she stopped and looked back at the emperor, seeing that he had already withdrawn his gaze and did not give her a chance to refuse, Mei Xin slowly walked in front of Concubine Rong.Kneeling down and holding her other hand, she opened her mouth and thought for a while and said, "Ms. Concubine Rong, I am Mei Xin, and I am Mei Zhannan's daughter. My father... my father, he... my father He is not very well. Not long ago, there was a secret operation in the army, and my father was surrounded by Tartars. He was trapped for more than ten days, and before I could rescue him, he was seriously injured..."

Before she finished speaking, Mei Linlang, who seemed to be unconscious, cried, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, she was indescribably anxious and worried.

Seeing Mei Linlang's reaction, the emperor was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Mei Xin to continue talking.

Mei Xin nodded and agreed to continue to continue in a serious manner: "My father went to the battlefield with my grandfather when he was 15 years old. He suffered countless injuries, big and small, but this time was the most serious one in history. When my elder brother found him People are dying, and the whole body is full of blood, as if fished out of the blood. It has been almost a month and my father has not woken up. The doctors and military doctors in Liangzhou City said that my father may not be able to survive this time. passed."

Speaking of this, Mei Xin's eyes turned red, she wasn't pretending, she was really sad.Especially thinking of the injuries that Mei Zhannan has suffered over the years, it is even more heartbreaking: "It was originally my eldest brother who returned to Beijing today, but the doctor said that my father is only a few days away. You also know that Liangzhou cannot be left alone. , so I brought my father back. Concubine Rong, don’t you want to see my father? Wake up quickly. As long as you wake up..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor, who was shocked and said: "When did this happen, why didn't anyone tell me? Where is your father, how is he now?"

The majestic first-rank official was going to die, he, the emperor, didn't even know, not only didn't he know, he didn't even receive half of the news.

In fact, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that whether Mei Zhannan left Liangzhou or entered the capital, he didn't hear any rumors.Thinking about it carefully, I was afraid that anger would come to my heart but I couldn't attack it, especially at this time, the emperor opened his mouth and said again: "Didn't I send the imperial physician there, what did the imperial physician say?"

One sentence stopped Mei Xin from asking, she said in a daze, "Prince doctor, what doctor? There is no doctor who can treat my father."

She slapped her head and suddenly remembered, enlightened, and Mei Xin said again: "Oh, I remembered, King Ping, King Ping and His Royal Highness have an accompanying imperial doctor, he treated my father, but at that time my father's The injury has not deteriorated, and not long after they left, my father's injury has taken a turn for the worse, and he is dying."

Kneeling down with a thud, Mei Xin kowtowed on the ground and pleaded guilty: "I didn't go up to the performance, and I left my post without authorization, please forgive me! The general really can't make it, and the minister has no choice but to bring him back to Beijing. Your majesty, Tai Hospital There are a lot of talents, I beg you, I beg you to save the general."

Originally, she planned to bring her father directly to the palace, but who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and Mei Linlang's poisoning just gave her a chance.

As one of the guards, leaving his post without authorization is punishable by law. On weekdays, the emperor would never let the Mei family go, and he would never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.But now that Mei Zhannan was about to die, he was still wounded on the battlefield, and his life was in danger. At this time, Mei Xin sent him back to Beijing for medical treatment as his daughter, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't do anything to them.

The first emperor ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and he emulated it for many years.If Mei Zhannan and his daughter were really punished because of this matter, it would hurt the hearts of many frontier soldiers, and the most important thing would be to damage his reputation.

He is a Mingjun, and he would never do anything that would be detrimental to his reputation, let alone at this juncture.Seeing that Mei Xin raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her face was rough due to years of wind and sand, most of the anger in his heart dissipated.With mixed feelings, Chen lowered his head to look at the dying Mei Linlang, and asked with a rather unpleasant feeling in his heart, "Where is your father now?"
