Chapter 10 Everything is up to the Madam
"certainly."
Lu Wanyin nodded without hesitation, "You almost died just now, won't you be healed after drinking it?"
"Indeed."
Xie Jingci thought carefully and searched for the strange stories he had heard before. He had never heard of a magic water with such miraculous effects.
He pondered and asked: "Madam, where does this water come from?"
“This…”
Lu Wanyin didn't intend to confess everything. She laughed and said, "This is a long story. I'll explain it when I have the chance."
It was inconvenient for others to hear what the two of them were talking about, so they sat very close to each other.
Although Xie Jingci's wound had healed, his clothes were still torn.
Her fair and slender figure is fully revealed.
Lu Wanyin lowered her eyes and took a look. Her throat tightened and she quickly closed her eyes.
Have you not been close to men for many years?
How could she imagine those beautiful scenes?
Pulling at Xie Jingci's clothes, Lu Wanyin wiped the undried blood on the cloth onto his skin.
She explained, "The emperor sees you as a thorn in his side. You've just been sentenced to death and thrown into prison. It's best to pretend to be weak to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Soft and hot fingers rubbed Xie Jingci's skin through a thin layer of cloth.
His eyes darkened, and he grabbed Lu Wanyin's wandering hand, his voice hoarse: "Thank you for your trouble, Madam. I'll do it myself."
Lu Wanyin glanced sideways and accidentally met his gaze.
The look was fiery yet restrained, implying an indescribable emotion.
She was so frightened that her heart was pounding, and she quickly moved her fingers away, "...Okay."
She found some tools from the space, tore off the hem of her skirt, and bandaged Xie Jingci's non-existent wound.
After the disguise was completed, Lu Wanyin stood up and looked around, and felt that Xie Jingci was still not weak enough.
She patted his chest again: "It's almost there, it's a little harder for you to breathe."
Xie Jingci immediately and deliberately increased his breathing, his chest heaving violently.
As a result, his chest suddenly pressed against Lu Wanyin's palm.
She quickly took her hand away and rubbed it twice on the clothes on the side of her body.
Looking at her little movements, Xie Jingci couldn't help but chuckle.
Lu Wanyin's heartbeat was half a beat, and she said in a tone that made it even more obvious: "Much better. Be careful when you speak later."
After Xie Jingci lay down "weakly", she stood up and said to everyone, "Okay, the injury is too serious, so I can only give it a simple bandage."
Xuan Qi quickly turned around to check and found that the general was covered in blood and tied with cloth strips.
really.
The lady didn't know any medical skills, she just treated the wound.
The crowd dispersed and everyone watched curiously.
"I thought it was some kind of unparalleled medical skill, but it turns out all you can do is tie a piece of cloth."
"Yes, it seems that General Xie will not be able to survive this disaster."
Since they were already in jail, there was no need to please Xie Jingci anymore. They even showed their courage of not being afraid of wearing shoes even though they were barefoot.
Lu Wanyin turned her head to look at the person who was speaking.
Was her previous act of killing the chicken to scare the monkey ineffective?
It was still useful. When Lu Wanyin looked over, everyone lowered their heads and shut their mouths.
So what if Lu Wanyin is so fierce
No, I'm going to be a widow soon!
"Jingci..."
The old lady knelt beside Xie Jingci and stroked his forehead with heartache.
When she felt Xie Jingci's body temperature, her palm paused.
It's strange. When Jingci was brought in just now, he was clearly having a high fever and his whole body was burning hot.
Why is the fever gone now?
The old lady put down her hand, took a closer look, and found that her grandson's expression... seemed to be better.
But he was covered in blood and wounds, how could he be healed?
The old lady hit her head, thinking that she was too old and confused and made a mistake.
Xie Jingci opened his eyelids with difficulty, found Xuan Qi in the crowd, and motioned him to come over.
Xuan Qi quickly squatted beside Xie Jingci: "General, what are your instructions?"
"everything……"
Xie Jingci spoke slowly, and just after saying two words, he began to cough violently.
His broken body also rose and fell, and he looked like he was about to die.
Seeing the once majestic general end up like this, Xuan Qi, a man of iron will, couldn't help but feel sad.
He hurriedly wiped his eyes and leaned close to Xie Jingci's mouth, "General, please speak slowly."
Xie Jingci paused for a moment before he managed to utter the rest of his words: "I'll follow Madam's arrangements."
"Can……"
Xuan Qi subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he saw that the general had difficulty even speaking, he had no choice but to obey.
There are many people in the mansion, and they usually obey Xie Jingci's authority and are also respectful to the old lady.
But now Xie Jingci is unable to continue, and the old lady is so old, so they can only rely on the new lady to take charge of the overall situation.
Xuan Qi stood up and faced everyone: "I will obey Madam's orders in everything."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.
Although Xie Deyao couldn't see it, he was the first to refute: "Even though our dignified Xie family has fallen to this point, we don't need a mere woman to preside over the affairs!"
His tone was filled with indignation, and everyone followed suit in opposing him.
The men and women in the Xie Mansion started talking at once.
"That's right, it's not like there are no men left!"
"She's just married, what does she know?"
"I think Xie Jingci is about to die, and he wants to drag us to be buried with him."
"Whoever wants to listen to the words of a jinx can do so. I won't be controlled by her anyway!"
Even someone as loyal as Xu Bo hesitated at this moment.
Although he believed in Xie Jingci's ability, he could never accept that he would temporarily entrust the Xie Mansion to a woman.
Lu Wanyin listened to all these words and nodded in agreement without any concern: "Yes, I just got married."
"But if I hear words like jinx again..."
As she spoke, Lu Wanyin threw out a silver needle.
The person who just said "unlucky star" froze for an instant, and after a while, he suddenly hugged his head and burst into tears.
He howled loudly: "It hurts, my head...ah——!"
The roar echoed in the prison, mournful and long-lasting.
Lu Wanyin ignored him and smiled faintly, looking harmless: "Don't blame me for being rude."
Anyone in this prison who had opposed Lu Wanyin had basically been taught a lesson.
Although the rest of the people were dissatisfied in their hearts, after seeing their miserable appearance, they had no choice but to act like cowards like Xie Deyi.
There was silence in the cell for a while. Uncle Xu took the lead and bowed to Lu Wanyin, saying, "We are willing to obey your orders, Madam."
Xuan Qi also followed to pay his respects, he believed in the general's decision.
That year, there was a three-day snowstorm in the northern border area, and they were trapped in the Turkic encirclement.
Death is almost an inevitable result.
However, the general was as smart as a god and led them to capture the Turkic leader alive, thus carving out a way to survive.
He believed that the general could do it then and this time would be no exception.
At this moment, the palace was already in chaos.
From the front hall to the seven palaces and six gardens, everything was looted.
The emperor stood in the empty Yangxin Palace, surrounded by concubines from various palaces who begged him to make a decision.
He wants to be the boss!
But now, let alone making decisions, he can't even sit down!
The chairs are gone, and the pear wood table where memorials were reviewed in the past has also been moved away.
The memorials were still there, scattered all over the floor.
He couldn't understand why a thief dared to steal from the imperial palace, which was the most heavily guarded place in the world.
