Chapter 156 Wake up
Lu Sui was in a coma for three whole days.
During these three days, except for the emperor who came once, the entire Taifu Mansion refused to allow anyone to visit.
Including the people from the old house, no one except the old duke and the old lady is allowed to enter the house.
When the old Duke and the old lady left, Jiang Yueyao happened to go back to get some clean clothes. When she came back, the two old people had already left. It was said that the old lady was crying in Lu Sui's room and almost fainted.
Lu Sui still didn't wake up.
But Qing Yi said that the remaining poison in his body had almost been cleared and he would wake up sooner or later.
Jiang Yueyao's heart finally calmed down.
Qingshu asked someone to clean up the yard next door, and she lived there temporarily. Except for sleeping, she stayed in Lu Sui's Mingyin Hall.
Others still couldn't get the medicine into their mouths, so the task of feeding the medicine naturally fell on her.
But she wised up.
When feeding the medicine, drive everyone out of the room.
At the beginning, when Qing Yi and Qing Shu went out, they covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
Later, when it was time to feed medicine, the two of them consciously turned around and went out, waiting for Jiang Yueyao to feed the medicine before coming back.
It rained in the capital that day.
After this autumn rain, the weather in the capital suddenly became cold.
Today is the seventh day that Lu Sui has been in a coma.
Last night at midnight, news came from the palace that the emperor had fallen ill for unknown reasons. With the support of Prime Minister Pei and his party, the third prince had taken control of the government. Naturally, the fourth prince and his party were unwilling to accept this, and they tried to obstruct them in various ways, both openly and covertly.
At the same time, bad news came from Mobei - Pingxi General Shen Huaibei was missing!
The Xiongnu and Turkic peoples, who had originally switched to defense, once again united several tribes and launched a massive attack like crazy. However, within a few days, the battle in Mobei switched from a strong offensive to a defensive one.
At the same time, food and weapons were in urgent need at the border.
One urgent report after another was sent back from the border and landed on the Third Prince's desk, but he ignored them all.
He is now fully focused on winning over the powerful in the capital and fighting a life-and-death battle with the Fourth Prince.
Lu Sui was already unconscious. Minister of War Bai Jinyan and General Yuan, together with several other aristocratic families, used their own savings to purchase a batch of food, fodder and weapons and shipped them to Mobei.
But this is just a drop in the bucket for the 200,000-strong Mobei army.
It’s far from enough!
In the end, there was really no other way. Bai Jinyan, the Minister of War, knelt in front of the Golden Palace, holding up the memorial and shouting at the top of his lungs, but the third prince and his party ignored him.
The next morning, Old Master Bai went up to the Golden Palace holding his dragon-headed cane.
When a palace guard tried to stop him, he simply swung his dragon-headed cane and beat the guard to death.
He walked into the hall, stepping on the blood.
Looking at the civil and military officials in the court, he reprimanded them loudly!
"If Mobei is lost and the Xiongnu cavalry enters the pass, the Daye Dynasty will never have peace."
"By then, the country will be gone. Do you think you can escape?"
"No one can escape. No one can escape the Xiongnu cavalry. When the time comes, no one present here will be able to escape."
"You can either become their slaves or slit your own throats with a knife."
Seeing everyone's ugly faces.
He softened his tone again.
"Right now, soldiers at the border are guarding the border day and night, without food or weapons, starving and freezing, using their own flesh and blood to block the swords and spears of foreigners, while you, dressed in fine clothes and eating luxurious food, stand in this hall, cursing your parents and vying for power and profit."
"If the people perish, the country will perish!"
He glared at the third prince who was sitting on the high throne with his tiger eyes.
"If the territory of Daye is trampled by the iron cavalry of foreign races, you will be the eternal sinner of Daye!"
"Chu Yi, are you going to open the national treasury or not?"
The third prince was scared.
The Ming Emperor was only temporarily seriously ill and not dead yet.
He has not inherited the throne and has not succeeded to the throne. If his father wakes up and the Mobei Pass is breached, he will be the first to be killed.
Besides, Daye is an eternal sinner...
He doesn't deserve it!
On that day, the national treasury was opened, and under the supervision of the Bai family and several other major families, food and weapons were transported to Mobei in batches.
And on that same day, Lu Sui woke up.
When he woke up, it was evening and Jiang Yueyao was sitting by the window looking at the account book.
She had hardly taken care of Wanhelou in the past few days, and only asked Xiaoxi to get the account book today. She was sitting aside sorting out the account books when she suddenly felt someone was looking at her.
She was sitting right opposite the bed, so when she looked up, she saw Lu Sui.
She didn't know when he woke up, and he tilted his head to look at her. The familiar look made Jiang Yueyao's heart tremble.
She hurriedly stood up and walked a few steps to the bed, her voice trembling slightly.
"You...you're awake."
Lu Sui didn't say anything, his eyes fell on her face. He saw that her eyes suddenly turned red, tears filled her eyes, and her thin lips moved.
"Why are you crying?"
Maybe because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was very hoarse.
Jiang Yueyao shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't even bother to wipe them away. She squatted down and asked him, "Are you feeling any worse?"
"Qing Yi is outside, I'll go find him."
As she spoke, she stood up in a panic and was about to call Qing Yi. As soon as she stood up, someone grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Yueyao turned around and looked at Lu Sui who was holding her. Her gaze slowly moved from his big hand holding her wrist to his face. The corners of her mouth pursed and her emotions suddenly got out of control.
She rushed to him, buried her face in his arms, and finally cried out.
Qingshu and Qingyi outside heard the noise and ran in together.
Seeing that their master had woken up, the two of them wanted to hug each other and cry their hearts out.
These ten days were torture every day. Although the toxins in the body had been cleared, the master was seriously injured. The poisonous arrow almost pierced through him... Although the two pretended to be calm in front of outsiders, but... but... they were really afraid that the master would not wake up.
Jiang Yueyao was crying while hugging Lu Sui's arm, and the two of them didn't dare to get too close.
The two of them didn't come over until Jiang Yueyao had cried enough.
Qing Yi felt Lu Sui's pulse, and Qing Shu asked Lu Sui, "Master, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Lu Sui withdrew his gaze from Jiang Yueyao and closed his eyes again.
After a moment, Qing Yi withdrew his hand and laughed.
"Master's pulse is much more stable now. He will be completely recovered after a few more days of rest."
Lu Sui slowly opened his eyes and looked at him: "How are Qingxuan and Qingfeng?"
One sentence made Qing Yi's eyes red.
"Master, it's okay, both of them are alive..."
Lu Sui nodded slightly and then closed his eyes again.
He fell asleep again.
Jiang Yueyao stayed with him for a while, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she felt completely relieved.
So he took the account book and went back to Wanhe Tower.
As soon as the waiters in the restaurant saw her, they all gathered around her and talked about Lu Sui's situation.
Jiang Yueyao didn't say much, just said that the person had woken up and asked everyone to rest assured.
When she returned to the Taifu Mansion, Lu Sui had already woken up.
But she didn't see him.
"General Yuan and Lord Duan are here. Miss, you don't have to stay by the master's side tonight. Now that the master is fine, you can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."
The Grand Commander and Duan Yanzhou are here, so there must be something urgent.
Jiang Yueyao nodded sensibly.
"Then I'll come back later."
