Chapter 141 Don’t blame me for being selfish
"have no idea."
Ji Mingzhu left Cangzhou secretly. Although he was followed by some minions, it was still easy for him to get rid of them.
Zhou Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Mingzhu noticed Zhou Yunshu's little action, took her hand and said, "Go with me to rest for a while."
Zhou Yunshu nodded, helped Ji Mingzhu up, and walked towards her and Xixi's room.
Xixi followed Zhou Yunshu and Ji Mingzhu like a little tail, and Nanny Wang naturally stood guard at the door.
"Mammy, let's go cook." Li Jialan said, putting her arm around Wu Yue.
Nanny Wang nodded and said, "Madam, please make something light. The old lady has a poor appetite."
"good."
Not long after Li Jialan and Wu Yue left, suppressed crying sounds were heard from the side room again.
The Liao family in the front yard originally wanted to go into the backyard to ask what to cook for lunch, but seeing Chuqi guarding the door, they did not dare to enter the backyard. Even Doctor Xue was stopped in the front yard by Chuqi. It was not until Chunque got Zhou Yunshu's order and went to negotiate with Chuqi that Doctor Xue was allowed to enter the backyard.
In Zhou Yunshu and Xixi's dormitory.
After Ji Mingzhu got into bed, Zhou Yunshu put a pillow behind her. Xixi was not big, but she held the quilt and carefully covered Ji Mingzhu with it.
Ji Mingzhu touched Xixi's little head with a loving look, and held her in his arms, leaning against the bed.
"Grandma." Zhou Yunshu sat beside the bed and looked at Ji Mingzhu, who looked exhausted. "Old Doctor Xue is with us now. I want him to check your pulse."
When Ji Mingzhu heard the words "Doctor Xue", she raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Didn't he go back to his hometown?"
Zhou Yunshu tucked the outer blanket for Ji Mingzhu and said, "We met him on the road and he has been following us ever since."
Ji Mingzhu seemed very tired and nodded in agreement with Zhou Yunshu's decision.
She knew that if she didn't agree, Zhou Yunshu would definitely not feel at ease.
Dong Ge stood aside and saw her master gave her a look, so she went out and called Doctor Xue who had been standing outside the house after entering the backyard.
When Doctor Xue first entered the main hall and saw Nanny Wang, he subconsciously bowed. Nanny Wang nodded slightly and took Doctor Xue into the inner room.
When Doctor Xue saw Ji Mingzhu leaning on the bed, his eyes turned red and he knelt on the ground.
"Xue Chunrong pays his respects to the Grand Princess!"
Ji Mingzhu looked at Doctor Xue under the bed and said softly, "Get up."
Old Doctor Xue stood up with tears in his eyes. When he saw Ji Mingzhu's face suddenly looked ten years older, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Nanny Wang said helplessly, "Doctor Xue, you are so old, why do you cry so easily?"
"I'm sorry, I, I... I'm sorry, Princess. I shouldn't have been so early..."
"Don't call me the Grand Princess."
Ji Mingzhu was too lazy to talk now, and it was basically Nanny Wang who conveyed her ideas.
"Call me old lady from now on."
Doctor Xue nodded repeatedly, "Madam, let me check your pulse."
Ji Mingzhu nodded slightly and stretched out her hand.
Chunque was very tactful and moved a stool over. Doctor Xue sat beside the bed and put his fingers on Ji Mingzhu's wrist with a nervous and serious look.
After feeling the patient's pulse, the old man's tears rolled down again.
"Madam..."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Doctor Xue, who was like an old child, and said helplessly, "Stop crying."
"What does it look like?"
Zhou Yunshu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Doctor Xue's reaction. Her throat tightened, but she still asked, "Grandpa Xue, how is my grandmother's health?"
Zhou Yunshu's voice trembled violently because she was too nervous.
Doctor Xue glanced at Ji Mingzhu and saw that she didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything, so he said, "The old lady's pulse is weak and unsteady, and her eyes are red. She must have been suffering from anger and liver qi stagnation some time ago. If I'm not mistaken, the old lady must have had a serious illness half a month ago."
Nanny Wang nodded slightly, with a hint of moisture in her eyes.
"Old Madam, your health is very poor now. If you don't take good care of yourself, it might affect your lifespan..."
"Okay."
Ji Mingzhu interrupted Doctor Xue and said, "He won't die for the time being."
"Grandma!" Zhou Yunshu's voice was choked with sobs and a hint of anger.
How could she say such things so casually!
The Zhou family can no longer afford the cost of another death.
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu, whose tears were hanging on the edge of her eyes, reached out and held her hand, saying, "Grandma, it's okay. It's Chunrong who was too nervous."
"Grandma knows her own health condition, so just take good care of yourself."
Before Ji Mingyuan died, she would not let herself die before him.
Ji Mingzhu exhaled a breath of foul air, "I want to rest for a while, Shu'er stay, you all go out."
"yes."
When Nanny Wang took Doctor Xue and others out, she wanted to pick up Xixi from the bed, but when she saw her master waving her hand, she let Xixi sit obediently next to Ji Mingzhu.
When only the three of them were left in the inner room, Ji Mingzhu touched Xixi's cheek and said to Zhou Yunshu, "You can bear this burden, right?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Mingzhu, who had aged considerably, and said seriously, "Grandma, I can."
Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu with a smile, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so big."
"Although you are the same age as Ying'er, or even a little younger, you are much more mature and sensible than her."
Ji Mingzhu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes without saying anything. Her aunt Zhou Jianying was the darling of the whole family, because she was the youngest daughter of Zhou Cungao and Ji Mingzhu.
A daughter born in old age is always pampered.
But Zhou Jianying also has the qualifications to be the group's favorite. She is lively, kind, and helpful, but her personality is sometimes impulsive, otherwise she would not have rushed to the northern border alone.
"I'm now somewhat glad that you and Ji Sheng have divorced." Ji Mingzhu looked at Zhou Yunshu and said gently.
"grandmother."
Xixi, who was beside Ji Mingzhu, heard her father's name, widened her eyes and looked at her great-grandmother curiously.
"If I hadn't divorced, and my health had become like this, the Zhou family would have been finished."
Zhou Yunshu held Ji Mingzhu's cold hand, trying to warm it up for her. "Grandma, please say something different."
"I can't live without you, and neither can the Zhou family. You know that."
Zhou Yunshu felt a lump in her throat. Ji Mingzhu's words at this moment sounded like instructions for her final affairs, and she couldn't help but think about it.
Ji Mingzhu smiled and said, "Shu'er, don't blame grandma for being selfish."
"grandmother?"
Ji Mingzhu reached out his hand and stroked Zhou Yunshu's face. He said, "Ever since I can remember, I've been living in calculations. I've always told myself that the royal family is the most ruthless and must not show mercy."
"But my father and mother are so kind to me, and your uncle is also kind to me. Even if this kindness has its limits, I am still willing to do it."
She smiled and said, "I am willing to be bound by this bottom line called family affection, give up the opportunity to become the Crown Princess, and support your great-uncle as emperor."
"But your great-uncle was too weak and passed away within a few years."
