Chapter 78 Prince Helian Pu

The emperor then issued a gag order.

It was several months later that Prince Rui, who was guarding the border, received the tragic news that both his son and grandson had died.

Soon after, Li died of illness again.

The successive blows caused Prince Rui to vomit blood and fall into a coma. There was no more after that, because he had no chance of waking up after falling down.

The first thing Qin Chi asked when he woke up was, "Has the midnight hour passed?"

Old Huo, who was guarding the bed, was stunned.

This sentence was inexplicable, but Qin Yi was the first to react, "It's over, it's already Mao time."

"Oh, that's good."

After saying this, Qin Chi closed his eyes again.

Old Huo, who was watching the whole process, was completely confused. He looked at the place where Qin Yi was hiding. He wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start, until dozens of secret guards appeared together.

Old Huo finally discovered it.

There are so many secret guards hiding around the young master. He thought there were only a few of them before.

Old Huo, Old Li and others were all Prince Rui's trusted subordinates in the past. They came here to protect Qin Chi after they were injured and retired from the army. There are many people like them.

They all found jobs in Shunan Trading Company and were assigned to various positions by Qin Chi.

"Should we send someone to inform Madam about this?" Old Huo suddenly asked this question.

He was speaking to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi ignored this big fool.

Old Huo said in a rough voice: "Hey! Hey! Why don't you speak? The young master and the lady have a good relationship. Now that the young master is injured, how can you not tell the lady?"

"How do you know that the young master and the lady have a good relationship?"

As a secret guard following Qin Chi, Qin Yi can be said to be the person who sees things most clearly.

Although they were husband and wife and did everything they were supposed to do, they both kept things secret. Later, when the lady's pharmacy could no longer be hidden, she simply revealed the identity of the owner of the pharmacy, but she did not mention the Song family.

There is still something hidden.

Not to mention the young master's affairs, which he had never confessed to his wife.

Qin Yi could see that Qin Chi had feelings for his wife, but not much. When it came to Song Jin's turn, he really didn't see that Song Jin had any feelings for Qin Chi.

You only need to look at how other wives treat their husbands, and then look at how the ladies treat their sons, and you will be able to see the difference. On the contrary, someone like Song Xiu is more in line with the normal situation.

Old Huo didn't think as much as Qin Yi, "Anyone with eyes can see that the two of them have a sweet relationship. The young master goes to the county town to pick up his wife every day."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

Helian Pu, wearing a fox fur cloak, walked in with great interest.

At the beginning of the Mao hour, it was almost dawn.

As soon as Helian Pu woke up, he rushed to the tent where Qin Chi was recuperating.

When he came outside, he heard the conversation between Lao Huo and Qin Yi? Helian Pu was not interested in his nephew's wife, but he was very interested in his nephew's feelings. Besides, he heard that she was pregnant, and it would not be long before he would become the eldest uncle.

This was one of the few things that made him happy.

"Prince Jin An."

Old Huo quickly stood up and walked forward to salute Helian Pu.

Helian Pu signaled him not to be polite and asked him to talk more about Qin Chi's situation in Huizhou.

I'm sorry, Lao Huo.

You can't talk about this young man's affairs casually.

Helian Pu smiled and said, "Pick some trivial things to talk about. Forget about the confidential information. I am not interested in listening to it."

"All right."

Old Huo turned around and glanced at Qin Chi lying on the bed.

The person was awake for a short while just now, and now he has fallen asleep again.

So, Old Huo picked out some of Qin Chi's daily trivialities to talk about, which were all things that could be easily found out, such as the principal of Tachuan Academy, who wanted Qin Chi to take part in the imperial examinations every year.

This year he took part in the county examination and the prefectural examination, and got the first place, etc. As Old Huo talked, he became a mindless flatterer of Qin Chi, and he never forgot to praise Qin Chi after every few words.

Qin Yi noticed that Qin Chi on the bed seemed to move slightly.

However, he did not wake up.

Maybe it was too embarrassing and I didn't want to wake up.

There were footsteps outside, and soon Doctor Jing came in. He first saluted Helian Pu, then took Qin Chi's pulse, checked his injuries, and looked around.

"Sir, are you awake?"

Doctor Jing asked tentatively. After waiting for a while and seeing that Qin Chi did not wake up, he could not help but mutter, "That's not right. The effect of the medicine should have worn off by the time of Mao."

"Ha ha."

Helian Pu laughed.

Amidst the laughter, Qin Chi opened his eyes and turned to look at Helian Pu.

"Are you my uncle?"

"That's right, I am your uncle Helian Pu."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The uncle and nephew had been in contact through correspondence for a long time, but this was the first time they met. They had seen Qin Chi's portraits before, for example, Helian Pu had seen Qin Chi's portraits from childhood to adulthood.

Every year someone would send one back to the capital.

In order to avoid being known, Helian Pu usually burned everything after reading it, including all the letters sent from Huizhou, which were burned immediately after reading without leaving any trace.

The two chatted for a few more sentences.

Helian Pu said regretfully: "It's a pity that your grandfather and I were unable to attend your wedding, and we didn't even dare to send a decent gift to Huizhou."

"Thank you for your grandfather's concern."

Qin Chi felt warm in his heart.

From childhood to adulthood, I have received a lot of love and care from my grandparents.

There were a lot of people and valuables sent under various names, but Qin Chi acted cautiously and still lived like a farmer's son.

Helian Pu changed the subject, "I received news that your wife is pregnant?"

"Yes, five months."

Qin Chi wanted to sit up, but was stopped in time by Doctor Jing.

Doctor Jing advised: "Young Master, it is best for you to lie down for a few days and not move if possible. This will help the wound heal."

"Listen to Master Jing and don't move."

Helian Pu then said that an attendant had brought some light porridge, and Qin Chi took it and drank a bowl of it.

Let’s talk about Song Jin’s pregnancy again.

Doctor Jing waited until Qin Chi finished drinking the porridge, then he stroked his beard and said, "When I went to Qinjiagou before, I saw Madam's bulging belly. It didn't look like what you would expect after being pregnant for five months."

"What's the meaning?"

Qin Chi's face became serious and he looked straight at Doctor Jing.

So did Helian Pu and others.

This statement can easily be misunderstood!

But Doctor Jing didn't look like he was going to do anything bad. As expected, Doctor Jing smiled kindly and said, "Why are you all looking at me? I checked before and I suspect it might be twins."

"really?!"

Helian Pu was more excited than Qin Chi.

However, with his physical condition, he would suffer from such emotional fluctuations. As expected, as soon as he finished saying this, his face turned two shades paler, followed by another coughing fit.

Doctor Jing took the medicated oil and asked him to wipe the Ren Zhong acupoints.

Only then did the situation gradually ease.

Doctor Jing felt his pulse and warned him, "Don't be like this in the future, Prince. Try to keep your mind calm."

"This prince knows."

Even when facing death last night, Helian Pu did not show any emotion at all.

On the contrary, when I heard that my nephew's wife was pregnant with twins, I couldn't help but get excited.

All we can say is that the descendants are always shrouded in the shadow of the Prince’s Palace, and it’s a lingering shadow.
