"Sir!" Qingshu's eyes were red. He patted his back in a hurry and ordered the soldier standing beside him to pour hot water.
Yan Suizhi waved his hands and started coughing violently again.
Yesterday, I saw a young soldier shivering with cold on the city wall, so I took off my cloak and covered him with it. I walked back in the cold myself. He was weak to begin with, and he fell ill all of a sudden.
Qingshu's eyes were red as he went to the kitchen to boil a large bowl of ginger soup and brought it over. "Sir, please drink some ginger soup. This place is short of clothes and medicine, and the official business is so busy. Don't tire yourself out again."
"It's okay, I know what I'm doing," Yan Suizhi drank the hot and spicy ginger soup in big gulps, thinking, I still have to take care of Meimei and Jinbai, how could anything go wrong?
At the Mobei Royal Court, Xie Wanyun was directing his staff in placing the goods when he suddenly felt a sudden surge of panic. He quickly sat down, waiting for the uneasy feeling to pass. What had happened? Had he been frightened and exhausted in the hunting grounds, causing some injury?
She recalled the thrilling scene that day. What a close call! If it weren't for that mysterious person's help, she and the jade pendant might not have been able to return.
Since it is a royal hunt, Jinbai should also participate as a hostage.
She suddenly had a strong desire to see Jin Bai.
During the days she had been at the royal court, she had wandered outside the palace more than once, hoping to see Jinbai. Since she couldn't enter the palace, it would be nice if she could catch a glimpse of Jinbai when she came out.
But five years have passed, the child has grown up, and even if we meet, we won't recognize each other. It's too difficult to meet.
She thought of the official she had met when she first came to the royal court. Hadn't he told her that she could come to him if she had any problems? So she immediately went to the official office and submitted a note requesting an audience.
Soon someone invited her in. Xie Wanyun simply said that she was a merchant from the Southern Dynasty and had brought a small gift to the hostage of this dynasty as a token of her appreciation.
The official thought for a moment and said, "Madam Xie, I am not a court official and cannot enter the palace without a reason. How about this? I will ask Prince Ilhan to help you deliver the letter to the hostage."
"Thank you so much, sir." Xie Wanyun was overjoyed. He quickly took out the visiting card he had written long ago and presented it with both hands.
The first part of the post was just clichés, and only the name was written at the end. Others would just think it was an ordinary visiting card, but Jin Bai knew it was her who came at first sight.
The official, always remembering the favor Xie Wanyun had given him, immediately ran to the Ilhan Palace and waited for a long time before meeting the prince and explaining his purpose. The prince dismissed the gift as a trivial business matter and casually handed it to his attendant, asking him to remember to bring it with him the next time he entered the palace.
Three days later, Ilhan entered the palace again. After finishing his business, he was about to leave the palace when he suddenly remembered this matter and ordered his attendants to deliver a letter to the hostage's residence.
The follower hurried to Jin Bai's residence. It happened that Jin Bai was called by Su Ha to practice swordsmanship, and Qin Junhao and Xie Silong also went with him. The room was empty.
There was only an old servant at the door with blurry eyes and hard of hearing, who could not hear what he said at all.
The attendant thought that the prince was still waiting for him at the palace gate, so he dared not delay and had to put the visiting card on the table. He couldn't find a paperweight, so he just picked up a teacup to press it down.
As a result, when he hurried out, the corner of his clothes knocked over the teacup, which still had half a cup of water in it, and soaked the paper thoroughly.
The attendant was so busy leaving the palace that he didn't see it at all.
When Jin Bai returned to his room, he saw a soaked note on the table. It was so soaked that not a single word could be read. He asked the gatekeepers, but they said they hadn't seen anyone come. The princes and noble young men of Mobei who wanted to see him either came directly or sent someone to fetch him. No one would deal with such a thing as a note.
Jin Bai wondered if he had misplaced it. Who was going to pay him a visit? He didn't pay much attention and simply crumpled it up and tossed it in the wastebasket.
Xie Wanyun waited for a few days but saw no response, and became anxious, so he had to go find the official again.
The other party was very surprised, saying that he had clearly handed it to Prince Ilhan personally that day, and the prince had promised to pass it on to the hostage. Could it be that it was not delivered? No, he could only say that he would ask the prince the next time he saw him.
Xie Wanyun handed over the visiting card again.
