Chapter 112: Lord Luo Hands Over the Token
After the medicine was fed to the patient, perhaps because Qin San was young and strong, his fever came on quickly and subsided just as quickly.
By midnight, the body temperature had returned to normal.
Liang He and others all breathed a sigh of relief at this.
Zhu Mingqing also thought of something. From then on, he would sprinkle some stream water with a little spiritual energy from the fairy palace into the water source every day. Not only could it not cure all diseases, but it could also slightly enhance everyone's physical fitness.
To prevent a real epidemic.
Of course, this is a later story, so let’s not talk about it for now.
But at this time, Prince Luo, who had drunk the medicinal herbs, still had a high fever, his cheeks were red, and he was unable to travel at all.
However, at dawn the next day, everyone set off.
Tian, who had been shouting that she wanted to take care of Prince Luo, refused to come near this time no matter what.
She was afraid of being infected. This place was deserted, there was no doctor, no medicine...
They are still in the hands of the eldest wife.
She even told the children not to get close to Prince Luo. No one can tell whether this situation is good or bad.
"Wenhong, walk faster!" Tian quickened her pace again.
All of a sudden, everyone in the second house quickly moved forward, putting some distance between themselves and the first house.
Old Prince Luo was lying on the cart, and Luo Huai checked his body while walking around.
During the lunch break, Zhu Mingqing came over and said to Luo Huai, "Go have lunch first and then take a rest. I'll take care of this place."
After Luo Huai walked away out of concern, she picked up the water bag and fed the old man a small sip.
Old Prince Luo had been in a daze, but at this moment he seemed to have regained some consciousness. Facing the light, he tried hard to open his eyes and see the other person clearly.
Zhu Mingqing put away the water bag and fed him a few more mouthfuls of rice, but the old man could not eat any more.
But now he also recognized the person.
"My wife Tingshan... I may not live for many days..."
He couldn't help coughing as soon as he opened his mouth, so Fen Tao brought him some medicine. Old Prince Luo didn't want to drink it anymore. Anyway, his body was old, so he might as well not burden his children and grandchildren.
Looking at the other families hiding in the distance, a trace of sadness flashed in Prince Luo's turbid eyes.
Zhu Mingqing didn't come here to take care of anyone because he wanted to kill them!
She smiled and said, "Father will be fine. We will soon reach the Fortress. Once we get there, we can buy some land to farm and then buy a large house. If Father doesn't want to live with the second and third wives, he can live with us. When the time comes, the children will get married and we can have a few more children for you to enjoy. You must hold on."
I have to say that Zhu Mingqing still knows how to make big promises.
An image suddenly appeared in Old Prince Luo's mind: several chubby little kids gathered around him, clamoring for him to tell stories from the battlefield. There was also a little kid holding a small wooden sword, just like Tingshan when he was a child, clumsily wielding his little arms like lotus root nodes...
"Cough cough..." Old Prince Luo was so excited that he couldn't help coughing.
Zhu Mingqing patted him hurriedly. Seeing that he seemed to have recovered some spirit, he sighed: "Even Huai'er is still young, it's not easy for us orphans and widows. We are bound to be bullied. I don't know how we will live after we arrive in the city."
Old Prince Luo paused and said, "Yes."
He knew the environment of Guancheng.
The people are ignorant and the climate is bad. If there is no one to support us, I am afraid that life will not be easy.
Moreover, Wen Hong and Wen Tao are both incompetent, and although Wen An is filial, he has limited abilities. In the future, they may still have to rely on the eldest wife.
He slowly raised his hand, wanting to say something.
Zhu Mingqing quickly lifted the man up and listened carefully.
"Jade pendant...silver and money...city gate..." Old Prince Luo said intermittently.
Zhu Mingqing's eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end he only heard the words "five hundred thousand taels of gold".
Tsk tsk.
Five hundred thousand taels, and it’s gold. A cunning rabbit has three burrows!
And it’s in Guancheng.
But considering that the old man used to guard the border of Youzhou, it is no wonder that he kept his property here.
I just don’t know what the emperor was thinking when he sent them to the old man’s territory?
Little did she know that Prince Luo had spent his entire life in the military, driving the Xiongnu north for 300 miles, so that they dared not go south again. If those people knew his current situation, the Luo family's predicament would be self-evident.
Old Prince Luo took out another jade pendant and said, "Wife Tingshan, keep it well. One day, if Huai'er can stand on his own, you must give it to him."
This is the last legacy of the Luo family.
This can not only be exchanged for money, the Luo family has maintained a group of secret guards for generations, as many as a hundred people.
When Huai'er takes the jade pendant to the bank, she will naturally know.
Zhu Mingqing was stunned, obviously not expecting the jade pendant to have this function. At the same time, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Talent, isn't this exactly what she needs?
"Wife Tingshan, will you give it to Huai'er?" Old Prince Luo suddenly felt a chill in his heart and asked again.
Zhu Mingqing swallowed and looked at her grown-up son with envy.
Forget it, let the children fight.
As a powerless and humble old mother, she can only enjoy the blessing of her children.
She nodded heavily: "I will."
Only then did Old Prince Luo slowly smile. After saying these words, he was tired and fell asleep.
During this time, Fen Tao came to check on him several times and found that Prince Luo's temperature was actually dropping little by little.
When Prince Luo woke up again at night, he felt much more relaxed than before and his head no longer hurt. However, due to the long illness and the hidden injuries left from his youth, he still felt a little weak.
But everyone could clearly notice his improvement and no longer felt any resistance.
Tian came over hurriedly, wiping her tears and saying, "Grandpa, you're finally awake. Did you know that Wenhong and Wentao were so worried that they couldn't even eat? Now they're so thin that they look like they're not human anymore."
Hearing this, everyone who knew the truth couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Luo Fu pouted and spoke her mind: "They're not thin because they're taking care of Grandpa, nor because they're worried about not having enough food to eat, but because they have no food to eat!"
They have been taking care of grandpa these days. They are so shameless.
Tian's face darkened and she glared at the little girl. Then she wanted to say something to Old Prince Luo, but the old man didn't respond and just closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, she glared at the eldest wife viciously and walked to the side unwillingly.
The old man actually gave Zhu a jade pendant.
She never knew that the old man had this thing on him. They were about to reach the city gate, and they had to win over the old man, otherwise they would have to go out and beg for food.
Zhu Mingqing secretly placed the jade pendant in front of Luo Huai and shook it, then immediately put it away.
"This was given to me by your grandfather. He asked me to give it to you later," she said.
Luo Huai was very smart and immediately guessed the meaning of the jade pendant: "A token of trust?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly, then said, "How about it, do you want it? If you don't want it yet, I can keep it for you, okay?"
