On the bed, the unconscious person's brows were getting tighter and tighter, as if he was trapped in a nightmare.
This made Wei Yunlan think of Miss Bai Si, who had fallen into nightmares several times before. His worried gaze moved from her face to her chest and then to her head.
He took a step forward, pushed aside the tightly bound black hair, and carefully checked to see if there were any unnoticed wounds.
…
In a daze, Qi Xu felt a pair of restless hands on his head, constantly fiddling with his hair.
I wanted to open my eyes to see what was going on, but my eyelids felt heavier and heavier.
In a trance, he came to the court from a place surrounded by white.
He hadn't attended court for many days, so standing here did not feel strange at all. Sitting on the dragon throne was still his father, the emperor who had accomplished nothing and only listened to villains. Standing below were all courtiers who looked extremely familiar.
The only area missing was the first row, where Lord Luo was absent.
Without caring about this, he listened to the court officials reporting the disasters in various places and the gathering of the rebel army...
It is hard to imagine that at the same time, more than ten uprising armies appeared in Dayong, in the four directions of east, south, west and north.
The rebel forces in the southeast have not yet gained any momentum, but those in the west and north have developed into considerable forces.
The most powerful uprising in the west came from Tanzhou, where a flood had occurred, and was led by the local wealthy family, the Mei family.
In less than two months, they assembled 30,000 troops and captured most of Tanzhou and Xunzhou in the east of Tanzhou!
The court officials were arguing about which army should be sent to suppress the rebellion.
The several rebel armies in the north were not as powerful as the Mei family, but they also had many people responding to them. One of them came from Huangzhou, composed entirely of peasants. They absorbed a lot of refugees after the famine and robbed several county granaries. Now they have begun to expand from Huangzhou to the neighboring Xing and Qing states.
Although this group of peasants are less numerous than the people gathered by the Mei family in the west, and their equipment is not as sophisticated as the Mei family army and the regular army of Dayong, they have a spirit of not being afraid of wearing shoes even if they are barefoot.
They have no regard for the law and act even more arrogantly than the Mei family. Lord Song Changke, the governor of Xing, Qing and Huang states in the north who was recently sent there, died in their hands!
Princess Daning, who was deeply in love with Lord Song, ran to the palace every day to ask the Queen Mother and Concubine Ling to persuade Emperor Xiaoming to send troops to capture those peasants and avenge her husband.
Prince Duan, who had always doted on his daughter, had repeatedly proposed in the court to transfer the troops stationed in the north to Huangzhou to capture the two rebel leaders surnamed Tang alive.
There was a quarrel in the court.
Amid the noise, Qi Xu keenly caught two names.
Tang Chuan and Tang Hai, the two brothers who led the Huangzhou uprising army, had the same name as the man Miss Wei had recruited not long ago.
One of the brothers was clever, the other was brave, and both were loyal. They expanded from the northwest of the Desolate State to the entire Desolate State, and robbed many county granaries in succession...
All the information matches up, the name is not a coincidence.
The leaders of the Huangzhou uprising army in the dream were the two who had been recruited by Miss Wei.
Just as I thought of Miss Wei, I heard Lord You, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, step forward and plead with Emperor Xiao Ming to spare the family of the criminal Wei Maolin, who had been the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, now exiled to Beiguan, and had died of illness the day before.
Duke Xu also came forward to plead for mercy. Wei Maolin was already dead, and his wife Gao was bedridden and about to die. His son Mingxuan was separated by the refugees and his life or death was unknown. Another legitimate son Mingyi had lost his whereabouts in the flood in Tanzhou earlier and there was no news.
The only ones left in the family were the eldest daughter-in-law Cheng Yue'e and her eldest son with Wei Mingyi, Wei Jiayan.
Duke Xu knelt down, crying and begging Emperor Xiaoming to allow them to take the man back to the capital to take care of him...
When Qi Xu heard the fate of the Wei family from his crying, he couldn't help feeling panicked.
Duke Xu talked about the fate of everyone in the Wei family, even Cheng and Wei Mingyi's young daughter who died young was mentioned, but he didn't mention Miss Wei at all.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
Along the way he saw clearly that Miss Wei was highly valued in the Wei family. Given the close relationship between the Wei family and Duke Xu's Mansion, Duke Xu's Mansion should not ignore her.
unless……
She was not on the exile list at all, and she did not go to Beiguan with the Wei family!
Thinking of this, a thought flashed through my mind.
Qi Xu seemed to have realized why reality was different from dreams.
…
"Mr. Yu, you are finally here."
In the main room of the courtyard, Wei Yunlan heard footsteps outside and saw Doctor Yu and Yu Qi walk into the room. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave up his seat in front of the bed.
"Look quickly, he has been sweating on his forehead since just now, and his brows are getting more and more furrowed." Wei Yunlan had wiped it several times with a handkerchief, half of which was soaked, but the cold sweat on his forehead was still coming out.
I don’t know if it was because of the pain from the wound or because of the nightmare.
“Let me take a look…” Doctor Yu sat down beside the bed and reached out to unbutton the clothes of the person on the bed.
Seeing this, Wei Yunlan quickly turned sideways to avoid it.
Ying Wu, who had already applied medicine to his wound, said to Doctor Yu, "I fed him a heart-protecting pill before, and used hemostatic powder on the wound, and bandaged it simply."
Doctor Yu carefully examined the wound and nodded slightly, "It was treated promptly. The wound has not worsened, and the bleeding is less than I expected."
Wei Yunlan asked in confusion, "Why hasn't she woken up yet? Could it be the same as what happened to Fourth Miss Bai before..."
“No.” After carefully examining all the injuries and checking the pulses of both hands, Doctor Yu said firmly.
"His pulse is very stable. If there was no wound on his chest, I would not be able to diagnose that he was seriously injured just by looking at his pulse."
"Logically speaking, he should have woken up by now. He hasn't woken up yet, so he should be awake soon..."
As soon as Doctor Yu finished speaking, the people in the room heard a light groan coming from the bed.
The person on the bed had his eyelids trembling, and there was a faint tendency for him to open his eyes.
"It's fine if he wakes up." Doctor Yu stood up from the stool, "Where is the kitchen? I'll go and boil this soup to nourish the qi and blood."
Not long after Doctor Yu left the room, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
Hearing the exclamations of Ying Wu and others, Wei Yunlan subconsciously turned sideways, his eyes swept across the open collar of the person on the bed, and paused slightly.
I saw that on the chest, whose skin color was obviously different from that of his face, there was an ancient jade stained with blood.
The shape looked very familiar; it was the one she had asked him to pass on to the Master of Tianshu Pavilion not long ago.
"Master, how do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Ying Wu asked with concern.
This caused Qi Xu to cough lightly.
Wei Yunlan's gaze followed the open neckline and moved upwards, meeting the slightly embarrassed look of the person on the bed, who looked as if he wanted to explain.
He smiled lightly and said with a firm tone: "So you are the Pavilion Master of Tianshu Pavilion."
