Chapter 529 The Duke Loves Me Even More

"She has a cold? Let the Duke of Protectorate take care of her?" Jin Cheng was completely confused. Every word he heard touched his confusion.

Wouldn't it be worse if I kneel outside the palace gate and feel the cold wind when I have a cold?

When she was sick, she didn't go to the doctor, but asked the Duke of Protectorate to go home to take care of her. This was considered to be a disrespectful act to the master in the eyes of outsiders.

But Jin Cheng could also guess: "She is worried about me keeping my uncle in the palace for so long, so she pretended to be sick and begged me to let my uncle go back, right?"

Pretending to be sick is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor.

Eunuch Huang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the servants who reported to us below said that the wife of the Duke of Huguo did not seem to be pretending. She was indeed pale, coughing, and her face was a little red. It was probably a cold with a high fever."

Luo Jingfeng also looked over.

Jin Cheng couldn't understand his expression. It didn't look like he was concerned, nor did it look like he didn't care.

"Bring in the Duke's wife."

"yes."

Jin Cheng met Mrs. Luo in the outer hall, but Luo Jingfeng inside the hall could hear it clearly.

Mrs. Luo ignored Eunuch Huang's support and left him alone. She knelt down and kowtowed, begging, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am very sick. I am very sick. Please let the Duke go home, otherwise I will die of illness!"

Jin Cheng rushed to support her. The touch was not a big deal, as the weather was getting colder and colder as the month of June approached. However, her hands were burning so much that she didn't know how hot they were.

The little devil was shocked and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Mrs. Luo kept begging him, crying and making a fuss: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please release the Duke. He is devoted to you and has never done anything unfaithful. Please release him. I am willing to remove the imperial edict and only ask for the Duke to return home!"

Jincheng had never seen such a clingy woman.

He had met Mrs. Luo before, but his impression of her was that she was a not very smart and domineering woman. He didn't know why she had this side.

Jin Cheng pushed aside the clothes she was holding and explained, "I know, I know everything. Uncle is very good. He is just practicing archery with me in the palace. Last time, I asked someone to show Luo Ji my uncle's letter. Didn't he tell you?"

Madam Luo continued to cry and linger: "But it has been a month. The Duke has not been home for forty-three days. I miss him so much that I can't sleep well day or night. I am almost dying of illness. Your Majesty, please have mercy on me... Your Majesty..."

Jin Cheng was entangled and raised his hands in surrender: "Bu Yan, help me!!"

Without saying anything, he quickly pulled the person away.

Even though she was burned like this, Mrs. Luo, who was born a military general, was very strong. She struggled to break free and continued to kneel and beg.

The imperial physician hurried over and saw the wife of the Duke of Huguo being held down by Buyan. He was so frightened that he dared not move his eyes.

"I pay my respects to the Emperor..."

Jin Cheng interrupted his long greetings and said, "Quickly check the pulse of the wife of the Duke of Huguo."

"yes."

The imperial physician examined Madam Luo and quickly replied, "It's a high fever caused by an acute cold. Madam Protector's pulse is very disordered. She needs to take medicine to reduce her temperature as soon as possible, otherwise the root of the disease may remain."

Jin Cheng also said nervously: "Go and prepare the medicine quickly."

"yes."

As soon as the imperial physician left, an eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, General Luo Ji wants to see you."

"Did Luo Ji just find out?" Jin Cheng asked, "Hurry up and let him come and look after his mother."

Luo Ji walked in quickly, his brows furrowed.

In the morning he received news in the military camp that his mother had taken a cold shower in the freezing courtyard and had frozen herself to death. She had caught a cold and had a high fever, and had then rushed to the palace.

——Mads, all of them are crazy.

Neither the father nor the mother is normal!

Luo Jingfeng was not around, so Luo Ji took care of the whole family by himself. He said to Jin Cheng, "My mother disturbed the emperor. I hope the emperor will calm down. I will take her back now."

Mrs. Luo didn't know where she got the strength from, and pushed the defenseless Luo Ji, who staggered. She continued to cry and begged: "No, Ji'er, don't pull me, I want to wait for the Duke to come out, I want to see him, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you..."

"Go home and cry, you idiot."

Luo Jingfeng's voice suddenly came from the hall.

The entire outer hall was silent.

"Duke..." Mrs. Luo was overjoyed and her whole body was filled with joy.

The Duke is still alive!

He is still alive and well!!

The wife of the Duke of Protectorate, who had been worried for forty-three days, suddenly got rid of all the worries.

She was a rough person who could not read or write much and did not understand the overall situation. She just wanted Luo Jingfeng to be alive and well and return safely. This was her only wish in her life.

She had gone on so many expeditions in the past, and she waited for Luo Jingfeng with trepidation every time. Although he would always have many scars on his body when he came back, he was safe and sound.

He had never, never been gone for so long.

There is so little news that it makes people panic and despair.

Now that she knew Luo Jingfeng was still alive, Mrs. Luo was resurrected. She stopped crying and making a fuss, and even walked with a breeze: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty, I will leave now, and I will not hinder you from getting along with the Duke!"

As she spoke, she pulled Luo Ji away.

Jin Cheng: “???”

You change too fast!

The little devil was a little worried, so he told Eunuch Huang, "Send the imperial physician who went to prepare the medicine to escort the Duke's wife back to the palace, and come back after she recovers."

Eunuch Huang replied, "Yes."

Jin Cheng returned to the palace and said to his uncle, "My aunt listened to you and stopped pestering me immediately without asking any further questions."

Luo Jingfeng showed no expression. After a long while, he snorted and whispered, "What a fool."

Jin Cheng pouted and said, "Why are you calling everyone a fool? She is your wife, and she is still so worried about your life. Don't you have any mercy?"

Luo Jingfeng raised his eyes to look at him: "I am cold-hearted and emotionless. What kind of emotions do you expect me to have?"

Jin Cheng didn't take it seriously: "This is all just a misunderstanding of you by the world. I don't believe it."

Luo Jingfeng closed his eyes in shock and ignored him.

On the way out of the palace, a carriage was moving.

Mrs. Luo's face was flushed with fever, but she still said to Luo Ji happily: "Jier, have you noticed that your father loves me even more!"

Luo Ji: “…” It’s poisonous.

Who would discover such an impossible thing?

Mrs. Luo said excitedly, "No one knew what had happened to him, but when I went to see him, he told us he was safe. Isn't this a sign of even more love? Ji'er, you're already sixteen years old, why don't you understand?"

Luo Ji couldn't stand it any longer and replied: "He called you a fool and told you to go home and cry. He doesn't respect you at all, why did you have to rush forward to be insulted by him?"

Mrs. Luo said with a smile, "You don't understand what I'm telling you. Your father is just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Haven't you heard that beating is love and scolding is love? He has been missing for so long, why didn't he scold others but only me? He was telling me that he was safe and he told me not to worry. I understand!"

Luo Ji looked numb.

He felt his mother was beyond help.
