Two hundred and seventeen
Yu Ying dreamed of her family.
I also dreamed of the person who should not have appeared - Fu Wei.
The former is reasonable.
The latter is unbelievable.
In her dream, she was sick, and Fu Wei was comforting her by her bedside, wiping her sweat and feeding her.
Then there is the scene of marrying him, almost to the point of physical intimacy.
His gentle and high-spirited appearance was completely different from the Fu Wei she had seen.
Moreover, in the dream, Fu Wei was clearly standing during the wedding scene. Therefore, she felt that this was an incredible dream.
When I woke up from the dream, my whole body ached, as if I had been seriously ill.
She opened her eyes and stared at the dim tent ceiling, calming herself for a long moment. With enough experience, she realized she wasn't just having a serious illness; she was actually ill.
I touched my forehead and it was still a little hot.
It must be a fever.
She should have noticed it before going to bed today, but too many complicated problems piled up together, making her mind confused, which gave the disease an opportunity to take advantage.
After a long pause, he finally managed to sit up, dragging his aching body off the bed. When he reached the table, he discovered a stove placed on it. There was still heat coming out of the stove, indicating that the charcoal inside had only recently gone out.
I picked up the iron kettle and poured a cup of tea. The tea was still hot, so I blew on it for a while before I could swallow it.
After drinking a cup of hot water, my body felt much more comfortable.
Just as she put down the cup, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Yu Ying was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw a middle-aged woman holding a tray.
When the middle-aged woman saw that she was awake, she immediately said happily: "The girl is finally awake!"
Yu Ying: "Who is this auntie?"
The middle-aged woman said, "I am the wife of the innkeeper. The young lady's husband has no female relatives, so he asked me to take care of her."
As he spoke, he entered the house, placed the tray on the table, and said, "The doctor said the girl would wake up around this time, and it turned out to be accurate. So I made porridge and medicine for her at this time, and she will be well soon."
Yu Ying said "thank you".
The shopkeeper’s wife hurriedly said, “Don’t thank me, young lady. Your husband has already given me a reward. I can’t accept your thanks.”
As he said that, he filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to her.
Yu Ying was indeed hungry, so she took it with both hands and sat down.
The shopkeeper's wife glanced at the furnace and said, "This furnace is made of iron. It looks very fine. Ordinary people can't afford it. I think it was taken out of my husband's room yesterday."
Yu Ying looked at the wind furnace and found that she had actually seen it in Fu Wei's house.
Before she could figure out why the furnace was placed in her room, she heard the shopkeeper say, "Today, that young man sat by the young lady's couch for a long time. Even though she was sick, she held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go."
Even though the young man couldn't walk easily, his face alone was better than most people with healthy legs. Not to mention, he was from a wealthy or noble family. So, even if we couldn't be an ordinary couple, just looking at his face and enjoying a life of wealth and luxury would be far better than following a poor, normal family.
Yu Ying, who had just taken a mouthful of porridge, almost choked when she heard what the shopkeeper's wife said.
Fu Wei has been sitting in this room for a long time?
She is still holding Fu Wei's hand tightly?
Where does she get the courage to do this when she is sick?
The shopkeeper's wife said, "Young lady, drink slowly. I'll go check if the medicine is ready."
The shopkeeper's wife left with a smile, but she left behind some disturbing words.
When the shopkeeper's wife came out of the house, she saw an attendant named Zhuqi standing outside.
He hurriedly said, "The girl has woken up. Although she looks a little weak, she has regained some spirit."
Zhu Qi nodded and asked, "Has the fever subsided?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then she clapped her hands and said, "I forgot about that. I'll ask about it when I deliver the medicine."
Zhu Qi nodded, turned around, knocked on the door and entered the master's room to tell him that Miss Chen had woken up.
*
Originally, it would take two days for a horse carriage to travel from Cangwu to Yu County.
But the assassination delayed them for a day, and since there were casualties, they rested in the inn for three days.
I don’t know how the magistrate of Yu County and the prefect of Cangwu, Chen, knew about the assassination, but within two days, both sides sent people over.
First, to investigate the situation, and second, because they were afraid that Fu Wei might be in danger in Lingnan, they sent people to escort him.
There were only a hundred men in the army, but their numbers increased several times.
During these three days, Yu Ying rested in the house. During this time, she wrote a prescription for Fu Wei to recuperate, handed it to Zhu Qi, and then hid back in the room.
Because of the dream of getting married and being intimate, and the fact that Fu Wei seemed to have seen through her identity, or maybe it was because of the words of the shopkeeper.
She will not be able to face danger with a normal mind again in the short term.
But after three days, you finally have to face it.
I took my luggage and arrived outside the inn, and was stunned for a moment.
There was only one carriage before, but now there are two.
After a moment, Zhu Qi pushed Fu Wei out of the inn. She looked over and met his eyes.
In an instant, the scene of the dream suddenly appeared in my mind, clear and distinct, and it didn't seem like a dream.
Yu Ying lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
After Zhu Qi sent his master to the carriage, he asked, "How is the young lady's illness?"
Yu Ying: "I'm already healed."
Zhu Qi: "The master said that the young lady fell ill because she was treating the guards, so he ordered an extra carriage to be prepared so that the young lady can have a good rest. There is also some food in the carriage so that the young lady can eat directly when she is hungry."
She was still wondering how to deal with Yu Ying in the narrow carriage for the whole day. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said thank you, and then lifted her skirt to get on the carriage.
He walked to the carriage at the back, lifted the curtain and got on.
There were soft cushions and thin quilts in the carriage, as well as a water bag and a food box.
It was much more comfortable to be alone in a carriage, and most importantly, I didn’t have to kneel for too long.
We set off in the morning and arrived in Yu County before nightfall.
When she opened the curtain and looked at the scene outside, a familiar feeling came over her, which made her stunned.
This was clearly her first time in this place, so why did she have such a feeling?
The grocery store clerk was moving a wooden board to close the door. Yu Ying's gaze followed the grocery store forward and fell on an alley.
There were a few children with buns playing at the entrance of the alley, and her gaze fell into the depths of the alley.
She didn't know what was driving her to go in and find out what was going on.
Soon, as the carriage moved further away, the alley gradually disappeared from sight.
Yu Ying had a persistence in her heart.
She had to go once.
After the carriage left the alley, it arrived at the county government office of Yu County in just half a minute.
The magistrate hurried out to greet him, explaining, "I have returned from Lingshui Village and am late in welcoming you. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
When Yu Ying heard the word Lingshui Village, it took her a moment to react before she remembered that Lingshui Village was half of the protagonist's hometown.
She couldn't help but look at Fu Wei.
Perhaps because he hid it too deeply, there was no fluctuation on Fu Wei's face.
Yu Ying remembered that in the extra chapter, Fu Wei came back this time to relocate the graves of his mother, brother and his wife, and niece.
The magistrate went to Lingshui Village first, probably to investigate the graves of Fu Wei's relatives.
Ten years have passed and everything has changed. It does take some manpower to find the grave.
The group did not stay at the county government office, but at an inn in Yu County.
All the guest rooms in the yard behind the inn were booked.
Perhaps the magistrate misunderstood Yu Ying's identity and thought she was a concubine. Seeing that there was not even anyone to serve her, he specially sent a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old to serve her.
Yu Ying wanted to refuse, but Zhu Qi asked her to stay and help.
Fu Wei did not seem to be in a hurry to go to Lingshui Village and stayed in Yu County for two days.
And his job of preparing medicinal herbs to regulate his body changed from Zhu Qi's job to Yu Ying's job.
On the second day of her stay, Yu Ying prepared some medicine and sent it to Fu Wei's house.
Ever since encountering the assassin in the inn, Fu Wei, who was already a man of few words, had never spoken a word to her again. In the past two days, she had just delivered the medicine and left.
But today she wanted to go out for a while. After putting the medicine in, she hesitated for a few breaths before asking, "My Lord, can I go out for a while and come back within an hour?"
Fu Wei raised his eyes from the book and looked at her.
His gaze was calm as he looked at her in silence for a moment. Just when Yu Ying thought she would not agree, he withdrew his gaze, returned his eyes to the book, leisurely turned a page, and said, "Okay, tell Zhu Qi."
Yu Ying bowed and said, "Thank you, my Lord."
Then he left the house.
She left the house, went back to get her purse, said something to Zhu Qi, and left the inn.
Zhu Qi was very good at figuring out his master's thoughts. As soon as someone arrived at the inn, he would arrange for someone to follow them secretly.
This is the woman that the Marquis cares about, and there cannot be any mistakes.
The reason for arranging someone to follow is to prevent the person from running away.
The second is the fear of accidents.
After arranging someone to follow secretly, he entered the master's room and saw the untouched medicine on the table, his eyes became more worried.
He advised: "The imperial physician said that the Marquis's body is already riddled with wounds. If he doesn't take care of himself in time, he won't live to be forty."
Fu Wei's face was dull: "Life is not enough for just a few decades. I have lived for more than 30 years, which is enough."
"My Lord, Fu An has not been found yet. If you were to pass away like this, the Fu family would be extinct."
Fu Wei put down the book and looked at Zhu Qi: "After death, there will be only a pile of bones. Why think so much?"
He added, "Take this opportunity to prepare to pay respects to your family when you return."
Speaking of family, Zhu Qi was stunned.
There is only the master left in the Fu family.
The same is true for the He family, he is the only one left.
In times of war, wives and children are separated, family members are torn apart, and the Yin and Yang are forever separated. This happens every day.
If it weren't for the uncle of the Fu family, the ten-year-old He family's Niu Niu probably wouldn't have survived.
The room was quiet for a moment. Fu Wei suddenly remembered something, put down the book, and said, "Prepare the carriage and go with me."
Zhu Qiduo asked, "Where is the Marquis going?"
Fu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the place where he and his dream wife lived in his dream yesterday, and said a name: "West Lane Entrance."
In just half an hour, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the west lane.
It was not yet noon and there was no one in the alley.
Fu Wei had just gotten off the carriage when the guards arranged by Bei Zhuqi came out from under the house.
When Zhu Qi saw that person, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He then lowered his head and said to Fu Wei, "My Lord, it seems that Miss Chen is also at the entrance of the west alley."
There was a hint of astonishment in Fu Wei's eyes.
Why is she here?
The guard continued, "Miss Chen entered an abandoned house. There was already someone inside. After she left, she hid in the house next door and hasn't come out yet. To avoid alerting them, I didn't get too close."
Fu Wei raised his eyes and gave Zhu Qi a look. Zhu Qi understood and quietly entered the alley with two guards and a knife in hand.
Fu Wei lightly nodded at Su Yu, and after the people climbed into the yard, he pressed his hand, and another guard came forward and pushed Su Yu into the alley.
Passing by the yard where faint sounds of fighting were heard, Fu Wei's expression did not change. He only raised his hand after passing the house.
Su Yu turned and stopped outside the abandoned house.
Fu Wei looked into the abandoned house and met the eyes of the woman in the yard who had a look of astonishment on her face.
Yu Ying stared at the suddenly appearing Fu Wei in astonishment. While she was still wondering if he had followed her, a noise suddenly came from the next yard, followed by Zhu Qi's bewildered voice: "Are you Fu An?!"
Yu Ying was still looking shocked, but she was even more shocked when she heard these words.
Even Fu Wei, who was always calm and composed, showed a look of surprise when he heard this and turned to look at the house next door.
