Chapter 7: The Heavenly Family is Ruthless, All Loyal Officials Leave
"Wan'er, Daddy has sworn to the Emperor that he will never leave Yanmen for the rest of his life. Wan'er, Daddy is sorry for you and your mother. You two must live well when you go to Kyoto. Daddy is not around, and Mommy is not in good health. You must take good care of her..."
Shang Yuwan knew he was dreaming.
She dreamed that she turned back to the time when she was five years old and went to Beijing, and her father was giving her instructions.
She heard her little self patting her chest and making a promise.
"Father, just focus on protecting Yanmen and the people. Wan'er is an adult now, and he will definitely protect mother well!"
As he spoke, Shang Yuwan's eyes gradually changed.
In her previous life, Shang Yuwan had a pair of amber eyes, which were now filled with grief and pleading.
"But Dad, you really can't leave at all. Can't you come to Kyoto to visit Mom?"
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
Shang Junhu laughed heartily, his expression did not change at all, as if he could not see the changes in Shang Yuwan. He touched Shang Yuwan's head and said the words from her memories of her previous life.
"Report the letter to the king, loyal to the king, and defend Yanxi. Wan'er, when you grow taller, you will fully understand."
not understand.
Shang Yuwan looked up blankly at the pale-faced Lu Xu leading her into the carriage.
She stared blankly at her mother's tears flowing in her sleep.
She saw her little self, frozen as a rock, holding her dead mother.
Her tears dried up that night along with her mother's blood.
not understand.
Shang Yuwan didn't understand the meaning of that sentence.
"Wan'er."
Shang Yuwan came back to his senses and found the dying Lu Xu in his arms.
In this dream that seemed real, she once again saw that complex smiling face.
Sadness, pain, relief, guilt, and reluctance.
"Live well...live well...live well. It is your parents who have let you down. In this life...your parents have let you down..."
“…”
The dream turned, Shang Yuwan was wearing mourning clothes and kneeling in front of his mother's spirit tablet.
The coffin was placed behind the memorial tablet, offerings were placed on the table, three incense sticks were burning, the surroundings were pitch black, and a few paper money floated in the sky.
Shang Yuwan looked at the token, and faintly heard mournful music in his ears.
She still didn't understand.
Report the news to the king from the platform, and loyally guard Yanxi.
These words lingered in Shang Yuwan's mind, like a maggot attached to her bones, eating her away bit by bit.
Loyal to the Emperor...Suppressing Yanxi...
A terrifying hatred erupted in his heart, determined to strangle Shang Yuwan's body and soul - they didn't believe you! They killed your wife and daughter, your reputation, they killed the entire Shang family! !
The royal family is ruthless, treacherous, and all loyal ministers are gone!!!
Shang Yuwan suddenly opened his eyes!
“—What a dream.”
The feeling of falling into an abyss and then suddenly landing back on the ground made Shang Yuwan raise his arms to cover his eyes.
Her head still hurt a little, so she needed to take it easy.
"Waking up so soon?"
Ji Suxian happened to return to the pharmacy and saw the person on the couch breathing heavily, so he hurried over to take his pulse.
Ji Suxian fell silent as soon as he touched it.
"Girl, why don't you take some Ecstasy?"
She really couldn't understand these two people.
One of them could barely feel his pulse, and if this continued the other's pulse would burst.
"I'll write a prescription later and adjust the potency of the Ecstasy Potion. I'll send it to your room later. Go and have your meal first."
Shang Yuwan recovered, stood up, thanked him and was about to leave.
Ji Suxian called her, "Wait a minute."
Shang Yuwan looked over and asked, "What else?"
"Do you know anything about water wheels, young lady?"
Shang Yuwan: “…” Does he think she has fallen asleep and become stupid?
"Of course I know."
"Waterwheels are used for irrigation, providing a steady flow of water. Sometimes you need to be quick when necessary and slow when necessary, otherwise a flood will inevitably occur in the future, damaging the waterwheel."
Ji Suxian crossed his arms and said, "Don't blame me for not warning you. Your brain can't handle this kind of activity. You also need to control your emotions. Hatred is deep in your bones, and anger is overwhelming your heart. If this continues, you won't know when your heart will explode."
Shang Yuwan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been a little anxious since they came back at twelve last night, and then he thanked them again.
Ji Suxian responded and turned to look for herbs in the medicine cabinet. Shang Yuwan saw that he had nothing to say and turned away.
Ji Suxian was flipping through the medicinal herbs. When she heard someone was about to leave, she turned around and looked over.
If she remembered correctly, the day when Brother Xiao collapsed and lost his spirit overnight happened to be the second day that this "Shang Yuwan" came to the building.
"Ci Xu."
A medicine woman stepped forward upon hearing this: "Yes."
Ji Suxian continued to turn over the medicine. The sun's rays fell on her head, reflecting the cold light of the hairpin. "Give orders. In addition to the usual tasks, have everyone under your command pay attention to investigate the news of that person. If they can find out, that's great. If not, that's fine too. Just keep a close eye on them."
"yes."
After Shang Yuwan finished his meal, he went to find the owner of the post.
"how?"
Xiao Qingxu wore a mask on his face and turned back into the owner of Baijia Tower.
His identity must be concealed and cannot be disclosed.
Xiao Qingxu pretended to be calm and handed over a piece of letter that had just been delivered and had already been opened and read by him.
"Zhang Jiuquan ordered Li Zixi to secretly escort a large amount of silver to Dancheng. The Dancheng City Lord and the Prime Minister have a good personal relationship. The guest in the building has successfully infiltrated the team and left a trace. Bai Xiaoye and Twelve have already set off. We will set off tomorrow..."
Li Zixi is Zhang Jiuquan's confidant.
Shang Yuwan looked at the letter and originally planned to say that he would go there right away, but then he thought about the host's health and finally gave up.
"Where is Shang Mingqi?"
"he......"
Xiao Qingxu suddenly felt weak and turned his head slightly. Standing behind him was Cheng Yishui in a brown and black suit.
Cheng Yishui replied, "I've already sent someone back to Baijialou early this morning."
Shang Yuwan asked again, "How is Zhenxi Prefecture?"
Cheng Yishui replied, "Zhang Jiuquan is training new soldiers today and will be back home around 12:00. Everything is normal in the mansion."
"Where is that human skin mask?"
Shang Yuwan gathered a few pieces of letter paper in his hand and looked at Cheng Yishui.
"He's at Ju Gongcheng's place. He'll be leaving soon. Does your Excellency want him there?"
"Borrow it from him again, then dress up and come with me tonight."
Xiao Qingxu finally suppressed the inexplicable feeling of exhaustion and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Business." Shang Yuwan shook the letter. "Even the Prime Minister could be abandoned. I don't believe Zhang Jiuquan is not afraid."
"What can I do for you?"
"You should have a good rest. You can follow them tomorrow and bring more people with you. I know martial arts, and Cheng Yishui and I are enough. It will be difficult to run with more people."
Xiao Qingxu was a little worried after hearing what she said, but he said nothing more, "Be careful."
Shang Yuwan nodded, "Don't worry, we will follow you."
Cheng Yishui looked at the back of his host's head, then looked at Shang Yuwan.
"Sir, the human skin mask is difficult to put on and take off. It will take an hour to prepare."
She raised her eyes and looked at Cheng Yishui.
"Without further delay, let's go find Ju Gongcheng now."
Before leaving, Xiao Qingxu called them.
"There is another person who can help you."
Shang Yuwan stopped and asked, "?"
"I have a senior brother named Lu Heying. He should be back soon. Call him. He is very good at Qinggong. I will send someone to talk to him when he arrives."
Shang Yuwan thought about it and thought that Ji Suxian’s senior brother must also be a doctor. “Ji Suxian should follow you.”
Under the mask, Xiao Qingxu's mouth curled up.
"Don't worry, her master and senior brother are not here, she will definitely stay with me."
Seeing this, Shang Yuwan felt relieved and took Cheng Yishui to find someone.
“Ah~”
Ji Suxian in the pharmacy shuddered and reached out to steady the medicine scale.
Ouch, I almost dropped the herbs in my hand.
Who is tickling her?
Although the love potion has been improved, it will still cause harm if too much is used.
