Chapter 746: No Regrets (Part 4)
Lu Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.
"My master said that the capital has been very busy lately and he's worried that it might disturb Miss Ye's peace and quiet, so he specifically asked me to pass this letter to you. Please rest in peace and don't be disturbed by the chaos in the outside world."
Ye Chutang took the letter and opened it directly. There was only a thin piece of paper inside.
The handwriting on the paper is free and elegant, and the tip of the pen is sharp, just like its author.
There are only three lines of words above, but they say three things.
——Shui Xingqiu met with Prince Jing in private today.
——Ye Yunfeng is at the center of the storm, so it is better to be cautious in everything.
——March is a good time for an outing as the weather is warm and flowers are blooming.
Ye Chutang raised the corner of his lips and put the letter away.
"I received the letter. Go back and tell your master that I understand what he meant."
Lu Yu nodded, and the next second his figure flashed and disappeared outside the courtyard wall.
Ye Chutang turned around and saw Xiaowu looking at her and the letter in her hand eagerly.
Lu Yu came more often, and Xiao Wu got used to his presence. Now he could skip over him and get to the point.
Ye Chutang knew that she was curious about the contents of the letter, but there were some things that Xiaowu didn't need to know.
Ye Chutang tapped her little head gently.
"When the weather warms up, I'll take your third and fourth brothers out for a walk."
As soon as Xiaowu heard the word "go out", he immediately became excited.
——So the prince came here to ask my sister out to play?
But then she puffed up her cheeks in a somewhat tangled manner, and her big eyes blinked.
—Then, if that's the case, then she and her third and fourth brothers don't have to go with them, right? How inappropriate!
Ye Chutang: “…”
Despite his young age, he's quite thoughtful.
"That's something you should be worrying about at your age." Ye Chutang nodded at her. "Besides, your fourth brother probably won't be staying in the capital for too long. It would be good to go out and have some fun while you still have time."
Xiaowu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and didn't bother to ask where the prince had asked his sister to go for fun. His mind was completely focused on his fourth brother.
——Sister, is Fourth Brother leaving again?
In fact, Xiaowu knew that Fourth Brother’s return this time was already a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, this was an opportunity he had finally obtained by fighting hard and winning the battle.
Now that the rewards have been given, Fourth Brother will eventually have to return to the border to continue guarding it.
She knew everything, but she was just a little reluctant...
Ye Chutang looked at her drooping little face, bent down and touched her little face, his voice became much gentler, and his eyebrows curved into beautiful arcs.
"Don't you, Xiaowu, expect your fourth brother to fight on the battlefield, achieve more military exploits, and return home in triumph?"
Xiao Wu was stunned and met Ye Chutang's smiling gaze in a daze.
Ye Chutang said softly, "That's what your fourth brother wants to do most."
yes!
Xiaowu suddenly realized: Fourth brother’s dream since he was a child was to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!
"No one's journey is always smooth and easy, especially the one your fourth brother has chosen. It is extremely difficult and arduous, with many obstacles and difficulties. If you are not careful, you may be left on the battlefield forever. But—"
"It was a choice he made."
Ye Chutang looked at Xiaowu with a calm expression and gentle tone, but with a determination that no one could stop.
Xiaowu seemed to understand but not quite, but every word she said was deeply engraved in his heart.
"No regrets in your moves."
…
Tuoba Yu didn't wake up groggily until the next morning.
But he still had a high fever and was extremely weak. He could hardly even get out of bed, let alone rush back to Nanhu.
The journey is long and bumpy, and he definitely can't bear it in his current condition.
Therefore, although everyone in the Nanhu delegation was eager to go back, they still chose to stay in the capital for a few more days.
They will set off again after Tuoba Yu's injuries get better.
In order not to arouse suspicion, they did not dare to call a doctor, and the only person they could rely on was Shui Xingqiu.
However……
"I can't do anything about the injury on Prince Su's shoulder," Shui Xingqiu said again, his tone already a little impatient. "Since you refuse to let me use Gu magic to heal him, then this is the only way."
"this--"
Si Kou looked at Tuoba Yu lying on the bed next to him with great concern, afraid that these words would irritate him again.
However, perhaps because he had experienced too much during this period of time, Tuoba Yu had completely lost his spirit, or perhaps he had already known the result. When he heard Shui Xingqiu's words, he didn't react at all. He still lay there motionless, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, like a pool of stagnant water, without any breath of life.
Si Kou Ji sighed inwardly.
"Master Shui, it's not that we don't trust your abilities, but... His Highness Prince Su is so precious, this Gu..."
Shui Xingqiu raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to explain.
This matter might be possible for someone else, but since it concerns Tuoba Yu, he must first consult the king.
But it is impossible to do it at this moment, so this is the only way.
Shui Xingqiu was actually very upset.
In name, he was Tuoba Yu's teacher. If something happened to Tuoba Yu this time, it would definitely affect him.
Moreover, Tuoba Yu's shoulder was broken, and he probably wouldn't be able to do anything in the future. To him, a good help turned into a burden.
How could he not mind?
"If Prince Su recovers quickly, we can set off in five days." Shui Xingqiu said.
Sikou Ji didn't want to stay here for even a day, but now that things had come to this, he could only endure it.
"Okay. Then for the next few days, we will take turns every day to take good care of Prince Su, hoping that he will get better soon."
Seeing Shui Xingqiu stand up to leave again, Si Kouji opened his mouth and said, "By the way, yesterday... I wonder if everything went well for Master Shui?"
Shui Xingqiu left without hesitation and came back two hours later. Si Kou Ji didn't want to ask any more questions, but when he saw Shui Xingqiu's cold expression this morning, it seemed that yesterday's incident was not pleasant. He was worried and asked anyway.
——It doesn’t matter what happens to Shui Xingqiu himself, but if it implicates their entire Nanhu delegation, it will be too troublesome!
Si Kou Ji is also responsible for others.
It would have been fine if he didn't say it, because once he did, Shui Xingqiu recalled the unpleasant conversation yesterday.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry about my affairs, Lord Sikou. Just take good care of Prince Su here."
Sikou was choked.
After all, he is an old minister with rich experience. Now he has to be cautious and polite when talking to a junior who is younger than his son. It is really frustrating!
However, the other party has become very famous in recent years, and he can't do anything to him.
After enduring for a moment, Sikou Jicai said, "...It's natural."
Shui Xingqiu turned and walked towards the door, apparently going out again.
"water--"
Sikou Ji just said a word and swallowed it back.
Shui Xingqiu seemed not to hear it, or perhaps he didn't care at all, and walked straight out.
And this time, he went out openly.
When we arrived at the door, the carriage was already ready.
"Let's go to Yunlai Tavern," he said.
