Chapter 507: Old Master Xie is Seriously Ill
"Miss! Your Majesty..."
Zhengyan came to the young lady's courtyard, looking hurried, as if he had something important to say.
When he saw the Marquis's wife coming to visit, his face remained calm, but the words on his lips changed again, "The prince wrote to ask if you are doing well recently, and also said that there are many fruits on the mountains outside the city, and he is going to send them to you for you to taste!"
"In that case... I have brought the message, so I will take my leave now~"
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan stood up and said to the girl before leaving: "When you have time, teach me how to shoot an arrow through the bull's eye!"
"If we go to the battlefield, wouldn't it be possible to use the enemy's heads as candied haws?"
"Eh?"
The little girl was confused, and suddenly felt that she didn't want to eat the sour and sweet candied haws recently.
After the others left, Zheng Yan took out the letter hidden in his sleeve, "A letter from the military advisor..."
"Old fox?"
Jiang An paused as he was about to open the letter, feeling a little surprised.
Her father was a man with a cold face but a warm heart. He didn't even bother to put on a cold face when facing her. He sent her letters one after another. Even General Huo and others had sent her letters and things more or less. But only Hu Yan...
She is also a tsundere. She keeps everything to herself and refuses to say anything.
Zhengyan nodded, "I'm afraid the military advisor has something important to tell me, so I hurried over here."
Jiang An unfolded the letter, which was covered with the old fox's beautiful handwriting.
The handwriting is neat, and it seems that he wrote it patiently, and it doesn't look like there is something important...
Although she didn't read the content, the little girl felt a little more at ease.
It turned out that more and more assassins went to the north, and some even resorted to the tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
On the surface, they tried to break into the Prince Zhenguo's palace like leeches, and even assassinated the prince several times.
Since Jiang An left the North, the prince's visits to the palace have become less frequent, but they have also found opportunities to intercept him on the way...
Once, when Jiang Jiu was being harassed, the prince accidentally got his arm cut by a knife. Although the wound was not deep, he still needed stitches.
For this matter, Jiang Jiu went to the secret prison in the palace to receive the whip.
The people in the secret prison didn't dare to hit him, so they quickly went to ask the prince for permission.
In the end... Jiang Jichen went to bring the person back personally, and used the same trick he had used on the little girl to punish her by not allowing her to eat for three days.
Hu Yan wrote in the letter that although these people were apparently aiming to assassinate the prince, there was actually a group of people hiding in the north who kidnapped Xie Huaiqing while everyone's attention was on the prince.
This group of people are not from the same group as the assassins, and they look like Dongli's enemies.
Since the prince did not restrict Xie Huaiqing's movements in Chongzhou, it was easy to capture him...
But it was still discovered by Xie Yunshan.
He naturally knew that this group of people were not just simple bandits, but people sent by Kyoto who wanted to take his brother back.
This is all I can write on this thin piece of paper...
The little girl frowned slightly and slowly opened the second piece of letter paper.
Xie Yunshan was seriously injured...
This line of words... was particularly eye-catching in her eyes.
General Xie blocked more than a dozen people alone and prevented Xie Huaiqing from leaving the outskirts of Chongzhou.
Those people were able to evade the wave after wave of raids by the Zhenguo Palace in the north, so they must have great skills!
Hu Yan's letter did not say whether Xie Yunshan really defeated those dozen people, or whether Xie Huaiqing wanted to stay...
Anyway, in the end, it was Xie Huaiqing who carried the bloody Xie Yunshan to the city gate.
This is the end of Hu Yan’s letter.
It was like telling Jiang An something from the perspective of an observer, without any emotions or anything for the little girl to do.
He just thought...she should know.
The old fox always felt that he would not live long. He also knew the unspeakable pain that Xie Yunshan had felt in his heart during the years he had stayed in the north.
He felt that he would never outlive the young general, and he just hoped that there was someone in this world who could treat the young general like a close friend.
In this person's eyes, Xie Yunshan doesn't have to bear the burden of his family. He is just Xie Yunshan...
Obviously, Hu Yan chose Jiang An.
He chose to entrust Xie Yunshan to the little girl.
"Miss!"
Before Jiang An could recover from the letter, Zheng Lu came in hurriedly.
He looked solemn, "Thank you, old master, you are seriously ill."
"Seriously ill?"
Jiang An's expression turned cold, "Where did you get the news? Can you ask the imperial physician in the palace?"
Zheng Lu: "I heard on the street that the Prime Minister's Mansion was preparing funeral supplies, so I went to secretly gather people to find out the news."
"He is indeed seriously ill..."
"The imperial physician in the palace said that Old Master Xie's condition has suddenly worsened, and it's strange, as if... as if his end is near."
It's really a strange disease...
Mr. Xie is indeed old, but the imperial physician who treated him previously also said that he was just angry for a moment and he would be fine after resting for some time.
Things have changed now.
The little girl threw the letter in her hand into the incense burner, and watched the fire suddenly become brighter.
"Send someone to the Princess's Mansion..."
"Ask my aunt, the Queen Mother and the Empress are concerned about their mother's family, are they still in the mood to hold a family dinner? I can be ready at any time."
It always looks like a storm is coming...
"I'll go." Nianniao walked out from behind the young lady.
"I am the lady's personal maid, so it is easier for me to talk to people around the princess."
Prime Minister Xie stopped Qi Shanyuan and others from entering the imperial city, and was willing to bring Xie Huaiqing back from the north at all costs. He simply didn't want anyone in the capital to be more famous than the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If someone else's reputation spreads, and they want to pull him down from his high position and promote Xie Huaiqing to the top...
That would be too difficult!
So Xie Si and Master Xie were very anxious, so anxious that they looked for the wrong people to cooperate with, and even did not consider Xie Yunshan's safety.
So why did Old Master Xie suddenly become seriously ill?
Jiang An stood up and walked to the window, his eyes dim.
"Are you worried, An An?"
Qi Shanyuan stood beside the little girl, reached out to close the window, blocking out the dark clouded sky outside.
"You are afraid that Old Master Xie will die because of you, and Young General Xie will resent you..."
Jiang An smiled helplessly and collapsed on the couch, "Yuanyuan is Yuanyuan, always so smart."
The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion must die, but their blood cannot be stained with the King Zhenguo Palace. He must die under the laws of Nan Shang and in front of the people of Nan Shang.
