Chapter 848: Alone in an empty room?
A little later, the Prince of Korchin and Nuoyi came over together, with the Prince holding a box in his hand.
"Fourth Young Master, my daughter has been naughty and has caused you trouble this time. This is something you requested. It was left behind by my father long ago. He also considered sending some to the Queen Mother, but felt it was too shameful to be seen publicly, so he kept it until today. I never thought that today you would find something and ask me to bring it to you. I'm giving it to you."
"Thank you, Prince. I understand the intentions of the prince and the prince, and I will definitely bring this gift to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has always been thinking about Korchin, but has never had the opportunity to return.
Now that I am feeling depressed, this item may be able to ease the Queen Mother's homesickness."
"How is the Queen Mother doing?" The prince frowned slightly. "The Queen Mother misses me, and I miss her too. How about asking the great Amugulan Khan to allow me to go and see the Queen Mother?"
Wen Jiu heard what he said and shook his head: "Prince, maybe there will be a chance in the future. Now that His Majesty is busy, it is not a good time. If it is possible, His Majesty must have issued an edict."
Obviously, the prince also knew this, and he didn't seem disappointed after hearing this. He just nodded and said, "Thank you for the advice, sir."
Wen Jiu waved his hand and said, "You are too polite, my lord. It is already late today, so I will not delay any longer and will return immediately."
"It's getting late today, so I won't keep you here. Please take care of yourself. I'll send a team of guards to escort you."
"Thank you, Prince. We will say goodbye now. We will meet again if we are destined to do so." After saying this, he warmed the wine and mounted his horse.
"Brother Luo, when can I see you again?"
Nuoyi walked away with the cooling wine, and he couldn't help but chase him a few steps, shouting at the top of his voice.
Wen Jiu smiled and turned back: "When Nuoyi grows up, he will be able to see me."
"Okay, Nuoyi must grow up quickly. Brother Luo is going to take Nuoyi to see a beautiful big house."
"Okay, it's a deal."
"Brother Luo! Have a safe trip."
…
"Okay, everyone has gone far away, what are you still staring at?" The prince stood in front of Nuoyi, blocking her sight completely.
"Ama, what are you doing? You're blocking my way." Noy chased a few more steps, but found that he had disappeared. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "It's all Ama's fault. Noy didn't even get to see Brother Luo."
"Hiss, you're a girl, and you keep talking about Brother Luo. Aren't you ashamed? Besides, who told you to keep staring at a man?"
Nuoyi didn't take it seriously at all, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Wenjiu left: "Brother Luo is the most handsome man I have ever seen. Why haven't I seen such a handsome man in Korqin?"
The prince was startled, and immediately stared at Nuoyi: "Didn't you say that your father is the most handsome man?"
After hearing this, Nuoyi immediately bowed his hands and said, "Father, you are still pretty, but don't compare yourself with Brother Luo. If you compare yourself to him like this, you will seem so ugly!"
"...Can you tell me again?"
"No more, no more." Nuoyi immediately shut up.
Seeing his daughter's eager look, the prince gritted his teeth and couldn't help but say, "Even if he's handsome, he's already married. You better give up thinking about him."
Nuoyi couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Father, I'm only nine years old!"
The prince said: "I'm afraid you might have some evil thoughts."
Nuoyi curled her lips: "I don't want to be someone else's little wife, no matter how noble my status is, no matter how handsome the man is, I won't do it!"
Nuoyi thought, even if she was the Queen Mother, wasn't she still someone else's concubine? What was the point of living then?
At that moment, she just grinned happily: "I wonder if Brother Luo has an unmarried younger brother, or a son..."
"...Borjigit Anoyi! Tell me how old you are!"
"Nine years old."
“…”
When Wenjiu galloped to catch up with the convoy, the sun, as big as an egg yolk, was hanging in the sky. The rosy glow filled the sky and gave the earth a warm color.
The Fourth Master was sitting in the sky full of rosy clouds and could be seen at a glance.
Wenjiuma had been tossed around all day, and his bones were almost falling apart. When he saw him, he couldn't help laughing and got off the horse.
"Master!"
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you since. You've disappeared again. Look at what time it is now."
"Master, I was ordered to go out, but I didn't have time to tell you. How about punishing me?"
Wen Jiu said as he leaned on his knees and put his face closer: "Anything is fine."
The Fourth Master glanced down at that nearly perfect little face, then turned away. His Adam's apple moved slightly as he said calmly, "This is your punishment. Eat your meal well! Let's go. The food is ready."
Wen Jiu followed the Fourth Master back to their camp. He had just taken a mouthful of porridge when he felt something was wrong and immediately asked, "Master, how is the Queen Mother now?"
"After you left, the Queen Mother went outside to get some fresh air. When she returned, she saw the imperial physician running in and out. I guess her health hasn't improved at all."
Wen Jiu listened and immediately took three or two bites of the porridge bowl, finished his chopsticks clean, and stood up. "I'd better go report to the Queen Mother first. I didn't see her, and I felt a little uneasy." Then he walked to the door, took two steps, and trotted back as if remembering something. He hugged the Fourth Master and kissed him on the cheek, then disappeared without a trace.
At the door, the two of them looked at each other in silence.
"Master, are you staying alone in the empty room again?"
"...Aren't you used to it yet?"
"That's true. Let's be smart today..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and he glanced at the Fourth Master without saying a word. Suddenly, he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Then he became like a saw-mouthed gourd, without saying a word.
On the other side, Emperor Kangxi also knelt in front of the Empress Dowager, serving her meals.
The Empress Dowager immediately followed Emperor Kangxi's hand and put the bowl of porridge into her mouth, and ate most of it out of courtesy.
Before Emperor Kangxi could relax, he saw the Empress Dowager leaning over and retching.
"Empress Mother, Empress Mother, are you alright? Imperial Physician! Go and call the Imperial Physician!"
The imperial physician came over and shook his head, saying there was no perfect solution and that the empress dowager needed to find peace of mind. After all, it was difficult to cure a heart disease.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the empress dowager lying on the bed, her face looking increasingly grim, and couldn't help but hold her hand. "Mother, can we not go back to the capital? Let's go to Khorchin now. Can you wait?"
"No, Baocheng, I have to go back to see Baocheng."
