Chapter 89 I dreamed of him
Yuan Yuhe was shocked. "So that's how it is. Return it and be careful."
"Remember what my mother told me."
Mingzhao also looked at the cavalry and shouted, "Move out!"
"yes!"
The sound of iron hooves faded away, leaving only the gradually falling dust, and about thirty cavalrymen remained where they were.
"Miss!" Xianyue ran over after getting off the carriage. "Are you injured?"
"No, what about you?" Shi Jianli withdrew her gaze and asked.
"Neither have I."
Qiao Ruoying, Ming Yuelin and others were pacing anxiously at the entrance of the village. Seeing them return safely, they felt relieved.
Mingyue ran over and saw that the palace guards and the grooms were all injured. She asked in surprise, "Mother, did you encounter any refugees?"
Yuan Yuhe's legs were still a little weak. She nodded and looked at her daughter. "Yes, but mother is fine. Don't worry, Lin'er."
The refugees also entered the village. Seeing their daughter jumping around, they thought she was fine. After all, they brought a lot of guards with them, and they didn't expect Prince Jing to suddenly rebel.
"What about Sister Li and the others?" Ming Yuelin went to look at Shi Jianli, who was blocked by Xianyue and Lanxing, and was shocked: "Sister Li, why is there so much blood on your clothes?!"
As she said this, she ran towards Shi Jianli and stretched out her hand, not knowing where to help her.
"It's someone else's, not mine." Shi Jianli just finished comforting her aunt and looked at her sideways, "I'm not hurt."
Yuan Yuhe instructed someone to take the injured guards, coachmen and Ming Zhouheng to see the palace physician Xiao Chu, and then spoke a few words to the old lady.
"Li'er." As she said this, she looked at Shi Jianli.
"Aunt." Shi Jianli pulled Mingyuelin over.
"Go back quickly, change your clothes and wash your face. The smell of blood is too uncomfortable after staying for too long."
"good."
Qiao Ruoying pulled Shi Jianli and said, "Mother, sister-in-law, I'll take Li'er back first."
Old lady: "Go ahead."
Yuan Yuhe, supported by her daughter, said to her mother-in-law, "If it weren't for Li'er, we wouldn't have waited until Zhao came to rescue us. Mother, you don't know how good Li'er's archery is. She can shoot three arrows at the same time, and every arrow hits the vital point, frightening the refugees so much that they dare not move forward."
"Those refugees ran towards the car and attacked directly. I didn't know where Li'er got the arrow from at first, but she stabbed it directly into the refugee's neck. Li'er's maid was also very smart and quickly found a bow and arrow for her."
"If it weren't for Li'er's quick reaction, we wouldn't know where we were lying bleeding." Yuan Yuhe said with a lingering fear.
Now she is very satisfied with her future daughter-in-law in every way, not because of the kind of love her like her son likes her, but because she likes her from the bottom of her heart.
As a mother, it is her instinct to hug her child as soon as there is danger.
The old lady nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "This girl's courage and ability are not inferior to a man's, but a girl would probably be scared after seeing blood. I think I'd prescribe some calming soup for her."
"My daughter-in-law will go back and change her clothes, then go find the doctor Xiao Chu herself." There was some blood on the hem of her clothes.
Yuan Yuhe then looked at Mingyuelin and said, "Lin'er, you and Li'er have always been good friends. Why don't you go sleep with her tonight? Talk to her so she doesn't get startled in her dreams."
"Okay." Mingyuelin nodded.
After dinner, she was comforted by her aunt and Mingyuelin in turn, and then drank a bowl of calming soup. She lay on the bed with Mingyuelin holding her arms, and gradually fell asleep while listening to her chatter.
Perhaps the tranquilizing soup was effective, as Shi Jianli did not have a nightmare at night. Instead, she dreamed of Ming Zhaohuan. When she woke up, she seemed to still be able to feel the warmth of his arms.
However, when she opened her eyes, she was held by Mingyuelin like an octopus.
Shi Jianli had never slept with her before, and she didn't expect her sleeping posture to be so unrestrained.
After staring at the ceiling of the tent for a while, Shi Jianli pulled away her hand that was across her neck and sat up.
Someone came over and pulled open the curtain, "Miss Li, you're awake."
As he spoke, Qi Yan looked at Ming Yuelin again. She was still sleeping soundly.
Shi Jianli nodded, "Where are Lanxing and Xianyue?"
"They said Miss Pear was frightened yesterday, so they went to make you some food you like to calm your nerves."
Shi Jianli felt warm and helpless. She was not the only one who was frightened. Lanxing was almost dragged out yesterday. This girl was really careless.
"Miss Li, would you like to get up? I'll help you with your makeup."
"Um."
When Shi Jianli finished washing up, Ming Yuelin sat up with the quilt in his arms. He then lifted the quilt and went to find Shi Jianli. He put his face next to Shi Jianli, blinked at the two people in the bronze mirror, and looked at her face again, "Sister Li, did you have a nightmare last night?"
"No, I slept very well."
"That's good." Mingyuelin sat on the chair next to her.
Shi Jianli propped up her head and waited for her to finish washing and dressing before going out. When she went out, she met Qiao Ruoying and Yuan Yuhe who came with her.
"Mother, Aunt, why are you here so early?"
Yuan Yuhe smiled and replied, "I came here to see Li'er. Did you sleep well last night?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, aunt."
Qiao Ruoying pulled Shi Jianli over and looked her over. She pinched her face and said with a smile, "You don't have any powder on, but you look good."
Shi Jianli smiled at her and asked, "Have my aunt and uncle had breakfast?"
"I used it. I came to check on you once after I finished using it, but the maids said you two girls were still sleeping, so we walked around the yard. You seemed to be sleeping quite soundly after sleeping for so long."
Sometimes I see pears blushing.
"Let's go have breakfast."
"good."
After breakfast, Qiao Ruoying and Yuan Yuhe chatted with two little girls in the yard.
This morning, the county magistrate came in person to express his condolences and organized county soldiers to patrol the major villages to resettle the refugees and prevent them from hurting others, and to keep them under close watch.
The next day, more and more refugees fled from Gaozhou, and those who wanted to stay were resettled in several nearby prefectures and counties. Knowing that Mingzhao had returned, most of the refugees decided to stay and see what the situation was like.
The people are reluctant to leave their homes. If they can go back, they still want to return to their hometowns.
On the fourth day after Mingzhao left, Mingzhao and Mingzhaoqing arrived.
The cavalry was waiting at the village entrance, and the two brothers rode their horses into Dongyu Village.
"Grandmother, mother, aunt."
"Grandmother, mother, second aunt."
The two of them bowed and saluted.
The old lady took her two grandsons' hands and asked, "Are you in a hurry to leave?"
"We plan to rest for two hours to let the horses and soldiers rest. The military situation is urgent, and we need to rejoin Big Brother." Ming Zhouhe replied, helping the old lady sit down. "I heard, Grandmother, that you also encountered those bandits on the Luzhou official road when you came here?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yuhe asked the servants to quickly prepare food so that they could have a meal before leaving. He also instructed the servants to make some dry food such as steamed buns, dumplings and cakes for the soldiers outside to take with them on the road.
The old lady nodded when she heard this and said, "I asked your fourth brother to ask the Liuyang County Magistrate about the bandit problem. The magistrate said that he had reported it to the prefect, but the prefect did nothing about it."
Ming Zhouhe sneered, "Of course he doesn't care. Those bandits are actually three thousand private soldiers kept there by Prince Jing. They are planning to seize Chaozhou's natural defenses and surround Chaozhou after Prince Jing's army rises. They rob people to replenish their food supplies."
"The Luzhou prefect had received favors from Prince Jing in the early years and was a supporter of Prince Jing. He was ready to open the city gates to welcome Prince Jing."
