Chapter 433 Zhao Lingmeng and the other two discuss their mother's condition
Lord Zhao said it very casually, but he had a daughter who was trying to sabotage him. "Come on! Look at those two eyes of yours, you've already cried!"
"Zhao Lingmeng!" Old Marquis Zhao roared, wishing he were ten years younger so he could beat up this unlucky girl.
Zhao Lingmeng was not afraid at all when being yelled at. She even pointed in the direction where her mother and Zhao Houming left.
Old Marquis Zhao felt as if someone had grabbed his throat. He glanced unwillingly in the direction his wife had left, then whispered, "You're just trying to piss me off! Be careful, your mother and I won't leave you any of our little treasury."
Zhao Lingmeng pouted and pointed at Zhao Anping, saying, "Come on, I won't take the blame for this. My eldest brother is still here! If you and mother's little treasury is left to me, my stingy eldest brother will eat me up!"
Zhao Anping was speechless about this. What kind of image did he hold in Xiaomei's mind now? He had only taken advantage of her a few times!
Zhao Anping still wanted to save his image in his younger sister's eyes: "Little sister, I'm not that kind of person."
"No, you are!"
"I'm not!"
Old Lord Zhao, look at these two annoying guys bickering with each other.
"It's already late, can you two calm down a bit?"
Although Lord Zhao said this, he was still happy in his heart when he saw the brother and sister's relationship was getting better. He was still old! He had the same problems as other old people, and he just wanted his children to be well.
Zhao Lingmeng heard his father's words and glared at his thick-skinned elder brother. Zhao Anping was not afraid of the glare, but looked at his father and said, "Mom's illness is still curable. Do you want to find a folk doctor to take a look?"
Zhao Anping was very worried that his mother's illness was a conspiracy of the royal family. After all, when a family like theirs got sick, they would usually ask the imperial physician to see them, which meant there was a lot of room for manipulation.
Lord Zhao was such a smart man! When he heard his son say this, he knew what he was thinking. He could only helplessly explain: "I have seen it. From the time I discovered it until now, I have seen many so-called miracle doctors, and the results are all similar. Your mother has suffered too. Your mother doesn't want to suffer any more in these last days."
When Lord Zhao talked about this in front of his children, he almost couldn't control his tears.
"Why are these the last days?" Zhao Anping had felt a little bit of hope when he heard his younger sister say this, but now when he heard his father say this with his own ears, the last bit of hope in his heart was gone.
"Life and death are determined by fate, and man cannot fight against heaven." Old Marquis Zhao has also figured it out recently. His health has not been good since his last serious illness, and he and his wife may die at the same time.
He was accompanying his wife on the road to the underworld, and he wasn't afraid of anything. It was just a change of place to live! Maybe he would even see his old friends when the time came.
"How long will mother stay like this?" Zhao Lingmeng was also very sad, but she still wanted to know.
"There's still more than half a year left!" Old Marquis Zhao originally wanted to pretend to be relaxed, but his voice became hoarse as soon as he spoke.
Zhao Lingmeng immediately rushed over and hugged her father. At this moment, no amount of words could comfort old Marquis Zhao.
Old Marquis Zhao was stunned for a moment, letting his daughter hold him for a while before pushing Zhao Lingmeng away and pretending to scold her, "What are you doing? You're so reckless. You don't act like a princess at all."
"I'm not afraid that if I walk over slowly, you'll have to hold me. And you'll still be nagging about the differences between men and women. I'm your daughter."
"Please don't make me angry!" Old Marquis Zhao really has no way to deal with this girl now. She is considerate, but she is also very annoying.
"Dad, let's accompany mom on this journey. Don't you two want to see me recruit a prince consort? Then I'll let you two sit in the main seats." Zhao Lingmeng carefully found reasons to persuade the old Marquis Zhao.
"You, whenever you want to please me, you call me dad. The rest of the time, you call me father in a serious tone.
Alas, it’s mainly your mother who suffers. It hurts my heart to see her like that. This disease is so painful! Your mother is such a strong person.”
When Zhao Lingmeng heard her father say this, she could understand his feelings. Watching a loved one suffer is sometimes more difficult than seeing them die directly.
She took out the pills she had prepared long ago. These were all the painkillers Dr. Ma had prepared for her.
"Is this the medicine that can cure my mother?" Zhao Anping was very surprised to see his younger sister holding it so solemnly.
Zhao Ling dreamed that her elder brother and father were looking at her with hope. Although she felt it was cruel, she still shook her head firmly.
When Lord Zhao and Zhao Anping saw that Zhao Lingmeng denied it, their faces visibly withered.
Zhao Ling dreamed of the two of them like this, so she patiently explained, "Where can I get that magic medicine? This is a painkiller, and it's addictive if you take too much."
"Painkillers?" Old Lord Zhao was also very interested in this. As for whether it was addictive or not, he didn't have any opinion. He was almost dead, so whether it was addictive or not was not important.
"It literally means that after taking it, the pain will go away, but the disease is not cured, it's just that the person can no longer feel it. There is also the possibility of hallucinations after taking it, and it is also addictive."
Zhao Lingmeng agreed that her mother should take it. Otherwise, she would be in so much pain every day and wouldn't be able to sleep well. It would be even more painful to endure it this way. However, this matter still depended on her father's opinion.
Lord Zhao carefully put the medicine into his arms and asked carefully about the method of taking it. Finally, he murmured, "That's good, that's good. Your mother will definitely be happy when she knows this."
Although Old Marquis Zhao sounded happy, neither Zhao Lingmeng nor Zhao Anping showed much joy on their faces.
Just as Old Marquis Zhao was about to offer some more advice to his children, he saw Zhao Houming come out. He stopped talking and turned to Zhao Houming, "Is your grandmother asleep?"
Zhao Houming nodded first, then added: "I watched him fall asleep."
"Father, please come back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion with me, mother and you! How can we stay in Yuanjing with peace of mind when mother is like this?" Zhao Anping pleaded when he saw his father's white hair.
"No, your mother feels safe here. And if you go back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion, your mother won't have the energy to take care of the affairs of your mansion. She will be upset."
Zhao Anping was about to say something else when he was interrupted by his younger sister.
"Why don't you two stay at my Princess's Mansion? I have the final say over my residence."
Zhao Houming quickly chimed in, "Yes, it would be great if Grandpa and Grandma could live in our house and keep an eye on us!"
"Your mother and I aren't going anywhere. If you three have time, go change your clothes and weed the vegetables your mother planted. It will make her happy when she wakes up."
