Yu Jiao's heart trembled, and she asked Yun Xiao for confirmation: "Was he awake when he was taken away?"
Yunxiao nodded, "When the mute servant was about to leave with him on his back, Cheng Dugong woke up and ordered the mute servant to leave a message on the table."
Yu Jiao lowered her eyes and looked at the words on the table again, muttering, "It's good that he woke up." But her nose felt a little sour. Her senior brother woke up, but left with someone and asked her not to look for him again. Did he never want to see her again?
But the world is so big, where is the place for him to stay?
Hosokawa was the last escape route he left for himself, and it has been razed to the ground. Where will he go?
Yu Jiao was stunned for a while, and seeing Yunxiao still kneeling, she called him to stand up.
"I have to go to the government office. My brother-in-law asked me to keep a close eye on Cheng Ying, but I didn't expect something bad to happen." Yunxiao said.
Yu Jiao responded softly: "You can go and tell him."
After Yunxiao left, Yu Jiao stayed in the room alone for a long time, staring blankly at the two big words on the table. She didn't know whether the words "Mo Xun" left by her senior brother meant that they would never see each other again.
The senior brother was probably deliberately avoiding her, otherwise why would he leave without even wanting to see her after waking up?
Even if she wanted to leave, she should wait until her injuries were healed. Otherwise, what would she do if her injuries got worse after traveling so long? Besides, she hadn't had time to tell him about the mother Gu yet...
And who is that old mute servant?
Yu Jiao could only think positively and guessed that the man must be someone that her senior brother trusted, otherwise why would her senior brother follow him?
But when she thought about the long distance between them and the fact that they would be separated from each other in the future and she didn't know when they would meet again, Yu Jiao felt a little sad.
Yu Qizhe didn't come back until the evening. Jianjia was standing outside the door and whispered, "Sir, Madam asked the kitchen to leave some food for us. She said she was a little tired and wanted to rest first."
Yu Qizhe whispered, "No need to serve, you can go down first." He called Jianjia and asked, "Has she had dinner in the evening?" Jianjia shook her head, and Yu Qizhe went into the room.
There was a bean-sized lamp burning in the room, making it a little dim. Yu Jiao was lying on the bed with her back to the bed, and she seemed to be fast asleep.
Yu Qizhe took off his outer robe and walked to the bed. Seeing that she had her eyes closed, he looked at her quietly for a moment, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and said softly: "His life has been saved. If he returns to the capital, even if the emperor does not kill him, his life will not be easy."
Yu Jiao didn't move and opened her eyes.
Seeing her red eyes, Yu Qizhe continued, "He has offended too many people in the past, and he is also accused of being a treacherous eunuch who held Emperor Mingzheng hostage and intended to order the ministers to disrupt the government. Even if the emperor spared his life, he would not be able to escape the verbal and written criticism of the ministers, and now this is the best outcome for him."
Yu Jiao had thought about all this. Her senior brother was a proud person in his heart. He probably didn't want her to see him in such a miserable state, nor did he want to create unnecessary embarrassment.
But she was afraid that she would never have the chance to make up for what she owed her senior brother in this lifetime.
Seeing tears in her eyes, Yu Qizhe stood up from the bed. After a moment, he covered Yu Jiao's slightly swollen eyelids with a wet handkerchief.
After the veil was pulled down, Yu Jiao's back trembled slightly. With Yu Qizhe's tacit consent, she seemed to be covered and shed tears silently.
Yu Qizhe was silent for a moment, then placed his hand on her back, comforting her quietly.
Yu Jiao cried for a while, and then she felt the warmth of the big hand on her back, and shrank into his arms, and asked in a whisper, "Will I no longer have a senior brother in the future?"
Yu Qizhe hugged her, lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her temple, answered her question irrelevantly, and whispered to her: "He is still alive. With his ability, he will live well wherever he is, Jiaojiao."
"If one day he wants to come and see you, I will never stop him." Yu Qizhe promised.
She moved away the handkerchief that was wrung out of water and looked at Yu Qizhe with red eyes. She had stopped crying, but because of his words, she suddenly felt like tears welling up again.
How could he understand her so well? She hoped that her senior brother could live a better life in the future, at least better than in the decades he had known her. He should love himself well and stop pouring his love without reservation on people who shouldn't be and who didn't deserve it.
Yu Qizhe was able to say just these words to comfort her.
"Yu Qizhe, thank you." She met a very good man who was willing to accept all of her and was also trying to accept her past.
Yu Qizhe rubbed her head and placed a gentle kiss on her swollen eyelids. "You and I are husband and wife, how can we say thank you? Don't say it again in the future."
Yu Jiao nestled in his warm arms and responded.
Seeing that she had calmed down, he said gently, "Have dinner with me."
When Yu Jiao heard that he had not yet finished dinner, she sat up and accompanied Yu Qizhe to the outer room.
Yu Qizhe asked the servants to bring food and served Yu Jiao a bowl of osmanthus cake soup. He felt relieved when he saw that she finished half a bowl and ate two sugar-filled cakes.
After dinner, Yu Qizhe coaxed Yu Jiao to sleep and returned to the government office.
Since Tai Yan had no consideration for a naval division, he discussed with Gu Yun about using Song Su to attack the remnants of Hosokawa on Nanwan Island. Firstly, Song Su was familiar with the maritime terrain and was good at naval battles; secondly, he was once the leader of Hosokawa and was very familiar with the defense of Nanwan Island. When the remnants of Hosokawa saw that their former leader was loyal to the court, their morale would surely collapse, and the chances of winning this battle would be much greater.
The only thing to be wary of is that Song Su will pretend to be obedient, but will suddenly turn against us once we arrive at Nanwan Island. However, as long as we keep a close eye on Song Su and make him helpless, there is nothing to be afraid of. Gu Yun can guarantee this.
After formulating this strategy, they prepared to implement it as soon as possible so as to catch the remnants of Hosokawa on Nanwan Island off guard.
