Chapter 320 General Lin is shy, what does she mean?

Wei Qingyan didn't manage to sleep after all.

Cao Yizhao's crying was deafening.

Lord Chu was left in Wutong County, so Shi Yu asked Dong Zang and Cao Yizhao to ride in the same carriage so that they could take care of him. Unexpectedly, Qing Wu suddenly jumped into their carriage and snatched the wooden horse from Cao Yizhao.

The child whose toy was taken away cried heart-wrenchingly, his voice so loud that it almost pierced the roof of the car.

Qing Wu covered her ears with her hands and said to Dong Zang, "Hurry up and tell him to stop. I'm going deaf."

Dong Zang said expressionlessly, "Princess, please return the wooden horse to him."

"You won't cry if I pay you back?" Qingwu raised her eyebrows.

Cao Yizhao cried out again, "Mama, Baoer's Mama..."

Seeing that Qingwu refused to give it to him, he thought of his grandfather's instructions to find his brother if he had any problems. He tried his best to speak hysterically, "Brother... Bao'er is scared..."

Although his intelligence was that of a three-year-old, his body was that of an adult man. His crying was so earth-shattering that the entire team stopped.

Shi Yu, Xiao Zhian and others arrived at the carriage.

"Princess, please stop teasing him and return the things to him." Shi Yu's face darkened.

Xiao Zhian was helpless, "Auntie, why are you snatching things from a child?"

Qing Wu glanced at her two nephews and the pitifully crying Cao Yizhao, then shoved the wooden horse into his hand and snorted, "You little bastard, don't think I'll let you go just because you're stupid. If you're capable, you'll have someone to protect you for the rest of your life."

With his brother around, Cao Yizhao ignored the threat, took the toy back, grinned at Qingwu, and concentrated on playing with his wooden horse.

Qingwu glanced at the two brothers and slowly returned to his carriage.

When the team started moving again, she called Rong Yu inside and asked in a low voice, "Can a doctor diagnose a child with congenital defects in the womb?"

"Others may not know, but if you allow it, you can definitely do it."

Qing Wu frowned, "What if it's your father?"

Rongyu's father was an imperial physician at Fengzhao Imperial Hospital. He died when Rongyu was very young. "Rongyu's improvement in medical skills was largely due to the notes left by his father. In Rongyu's judgment, his father should have been able to do it."

What does the princess suspect?

Qing Wu placed her hand on her temples. "When Qian Ning was nine months pregnant, your father took her pulse and the baby was healthy."

But after hearing that Cao Yizhao's legs remained at the level of a six or seven-year-old child, she didn't try to lift his robe. But after trying today, she found that his brain was indeed stupid.

"Will a difficult birth affect the child, causing a healthy child to develop congenital defects? Or is it possible that your father made a wrong diagnosis, after all, he was in a hurry at the time."

She seemed to be talking to herself.

Rong Yu knew that she would easily get a headache when she was worried, so she quickly massaged her hands and explained, "The so-called congenital deficiency means that it was developed that way in the womb. If father had taken Miss Lin's pulse when she was nine months pregnant, the chances of a mistake would be very low."

"Is it possible that he is playing dumb? Chun Xing, that maidservant, is very clever. Could she be the one teaching the child to play dumb?

The two of them were stranded in the Wei Dynasty, and pretending to be stupid was the only way to be safer and live longer."

After a moment's silence, Rong Yu said, "It's not easy to pretend to be stupid for more than 20 years. If the princess is suspicious, Rong Yu will pay more attention."

Qing Wu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, "No, I will test it myself."

For the rest of the journey, Qingwu would go to Cao Yizhao's carriage every day, either snatching his toys or his snacks, causing Cao Yizhao to cry every day.

But Qingwu always returned the things to Cao Yizhao in time when he cried and called him brother, and even brought him some snacks or new toys from her carriage.

Cao Yizhao could grin with tears on his face. After doing this many times, he became familiar with Qingwu and was no longer so repulsed by her.

Occasionally, he would take the initiative to ask her for things, but Qingwu was testing him. She always found ways to make him cry, and he would cry several times a day.

After a few times, Shi Yu was too lazy to care anymore because he found that Princess Qingwu's people bought a lot of toys along the way.

He knew that she would not really do anything to Cao Yizhao. On the contrary, Cao Yizhao probably sensed that Qingwu had no ill will towards him, so when he was crying and his nose was full of snot, he dared to grab Qingwu's sleeve to wipe his face.

Qingwu has always been a clean person. She was so angry that she grabbed Cao Yizhao's ear and started cursing without caring about her status as a princess. In return, Cao Yizhao cried and talked back from time to time.

Along the way, the two of them caused a lot of chaos, and everyone gradually got used to it.

But Cao Yizhao's daily crying made Wei Shijun suffer. She wanted to go to Qingwu with a sword in hand several times, but in the end she could only grit her teeth and endure it.

Firstly, he didn't want to cause trouble for Wei Qingyan. After all, Qingwu was his sister's in-law's aunt.

Secondly, she didn't want more people to discover her secret of not sleeping at night.

That day, she was curled up in the carriage, and was about to sleep soundly when Cao Yizhao's earth-shattering cry rang out again. She felt uncontrollably irritated, and her hand holding the sword tightened and tightened, and finally let go.

Just as I was rubbing cotton into my ears, there was a knock on the car window.

"Try this." Lin Lanting handed her a wooden box.

Wei Shijun didn't answer and asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

"The tranquilizing pills given by the palace can help you sleep, but they won't make you fall asleep as deeply as ordinary tranquilizers."

This way, even if there is any movement on the road, you can wake up in time.

It was a reward from the Queen when he had made meritorious service in the past. However, as a soldier, he could fall asleep even while standing during a war, so he had no use for this thing, so he kept it in the warehouse. He sent a message back a few days ago, and his subordinates delivered it last night.

Wei Shijun glanced at him and took the box. "Thank you."

Xiao Zhian had already given her many gifts of thanks for saving her life, so she reached around her waist, pulled out a purse and handed it to Lin Lanting as a return gift.

That was the Purple Fire Pill. As long as she wasn't dead, taking the Purple Fire Pill would allow her to hold on and wait for rescue. Of course, she wasn't hoping that anything would happen to Lin Lanting.

She just didn't like owing favors to others. Besides, a military general needed this more than ordinary people. She didn't know when Lin Lanting noticed her abnormality.

Wei Shijun's mind was confused and she was too lazy to think deeply. She opened the box, which contained twenty-four pills neatly arranged inside. She took out one and put it directly into her mouth.

There was a faint medicinal fragrance with a hint of sweetness. Not long after, my heart, which was originally irritated by being woken up, gradually calmed down, and sleepiness gradually came over me. It seemed that Cao Yizhao's crying outside was isolated.

When closing his eyes, a thought flashed through Wei Shijun's mind. Lin Lanting was a very grateful person. He gave her such good medicine without hesitation. It would be nice to be brothers with her in the future.

When Lin Lanting saw her take the medicine without any doubt, he felt a sudden sense of relief in his heart.

During the days they knew each other, Wei Lao San was definitely not the type to trust others easily. She believed in him because in her heart, he was a trustworthy person.

This thought made him happy. He drove his horse over and lowered the curtain of her carriage. He pulled the reins and the horse stopped. His followers hurriedly helped him dismount. His injuries had not yet healed fully, so it was not easy for him to ride for a long time.

Returning to his carriage, he opened the purse in his hand, and a faint plum fragrance entered his nose. It was the scent of Wei Shijun.

He had smelled it that day when she carried him on her back. He was curious for a moment at that time that such a carefree woman could have such an elegant fragrance.

I couldn't help but move my nose closer, and it really smelled good.

Realizing what he was doing, Lin Lanting's ears felt slightly hot. Fortunately, no one in the car saw him, so he quickly straightened his expression and opened his purse.

When he saw what was in the purse, he was stunned for a moment, and then his ears turned completely red.

Wei Lao San actually gave him his personal jade pendant. When she carried him on her back that day, he saw clearly that she had such a jade pendant hanging around her neck.

What does she mean?

Lin Lanting imagined a lot of things at once, but he didn't know that the scene of him delivering medicine to Wei Shijun was seen clearly by Qing Wu who came out of Cao Yizhao's carriage.

"Lin Lanting used to be so cold, and I've never seen him show any interest in a woman."

Qing Wu ordered, "Find out what happened between them, and the past of that woman from the Wei family."

Not long after, a carrier pigeon flew out from the end of the team.

Ten days later, the group finally arrived at the gate of Fengzhao Imperial City.
