Chapter 562: Mutation
With his eyes sideways, he saw that Hai Ruyue was distracted, and he didn't even know that he had walked to her, so he asked, "What are you thinking?"
The tone of his speech to her has also changed, and the original tone is full of coercion or banter and playfulness.
When coercion is the time to talk about business, when banter and playfulness are the time to play with this woman's style and appearance, now that feeling has passed unconsciously, no matter how charming and moving Hai Ruyue is, it is difficult for him to have the desire to possess and play impatiently.
The tone has become ordinary and flat, and there is no sense of coveting, playing, and possession, and it has become a way of communicating not with outsiders but with family members.
Hai Ruyue came back to her senses, stood up, and asked, "Grandpa Zhao is gone?"
"Gone. Li Wuhua nodded.
Hai Ruyue's gaze fell on the box he was holding with one arm, "What is this?"
"The congratulatory gift sent by Zhao Sen on behalf of the Empress Dowager, a box is a tonic, and I can't understand this box a little. Li Wuhua said and opened the box in his hand.
The two boxes were carefully inspected, and no problems were found, as for the boxes containing the tonic medicine, they were temporarily thrown aside, and the things in the capital did not dare to be taken by Hai Ruyue casually.
And in this open box, there are crystal balls, amber stuckled with insects, small wooden dolls, delicate wind chimes, etc., filled with a variety of knick-knacks.
Li Wuhua was a little puzzled, "Is it for children to play? children are so young, they can't play with this, right?"
Seeing the things in the box, Hai Ruyue's eyes were already dull, her eyes gradually turned red, her hand reached into the box, her fingertips touched and stroked each piece, and muttered: "It's not for children to play with, it's something I played with when I was a child." ”
"......" Li Wuhua was speechless.
Hai Ruyue took out a piece of silk silk and opened it to take a look, only to see that it was embroidered with crooked flowers and plants, and there were two ugly-looking butterflies on the flowers and plants. Seeing this, tears burst out of his eyes instantly, covered his mouth, and looked at the child, as if he was afraid that he would wake up the sleeping child.
Li Wuhua was surprised, "What's wrong?"
Hai Ruyue choked up and said: "This is what I embroidered when I first learned embroidery when I was a child, mother..."
It turned out to be touching the scene, Li Wuhua expressed her understanding and sighed, "Don't you want to move people with emotion, and want to use these tricks to trick you back to the capital?"
Hai Ruyue shook her head with tears in her eyes, her face was unbearable, "I am no longer the little girl I was back then, and the imperial brother is not the boy I was back then, and the queen mother can't control him, and she can't control me, can you still go back?"
Li Wuhua stretched out his hand to her back to soothe her slightly, "Since it is some childhood memories, then you can stay by your side." ”
The box arrived in Hai Ruyue's hand, Hai Ruyue sat on the side with her arms, took it out one by one, ** one by one, and put it on the table one by one.
Each one is a memory of hers, and she wipes a handful of tears when she plays with one.
There is not only a masterpiece of her first embroidery, but also a piece of ink treasure left by her first painting, the paper has withered and yellowed, and it is still folded and put inside.
Looking at it now, it's hard to imagine that this is something I painted.
But when you see it, you know that you have drawn it.
Li Wuhua stood at the door, stared back at her for a while, and finally stepped out......
The next day, something was wrong with Hai Ruyue's body, she began to have a fever, and she coughed from time to time.
I don't know if I saw the things in my childhood, Li Wuhua didn't care about this, and immediately took the box away along with the things inside, and isolated it from here.
What made Li Wuhua even more panicked was that his toddler also began to have a fever, and he couldn't stop crying.
As a monk, he constantly administers panacea to the mother and son, and casts spells to cure them.
The mother and son's body temperature dropped, and the coughing stopped, but it didn't take long for it to recur, and they continued to be treated and repeated.
Whether it is casting spells or applying medicines, there is no real effect, but the blood and qi of the mother and son are gradually declining.
Adults are okay, they have self-control.
The toddler didn't understand this, so he couldn't bear to cry like this, so he had to point it to the point, so that he fell into a coma, and then stopped crying.
Li Wuhua was a little panicked, and urgently summoned the sect for help.
The envoys from various countries who came to congratulate him one after another failed to see Hai Ruyue, and they were all stopped by Li Wuhua for a reason......
Riding into the city, Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi came unhurriedly, without concealment, and entered the city with their true faces exposed.
After entering the city, he met Fang Zhe, who came to greet him, and the three of them went to the Thorn Mansion together.
As for Wu Lao Er, he had already entered the city first and secretly arrived at the liaison office set up here in Nanzhou.
After arriving at their destination, the three of them waited at the gate of the Assassin's Mansion for a while, and soon after the doorman went in to report, someone came out and led the three inside.
Zhu Shun appeared inside the door to greet him, and the housekeeper looked a lot older and looked haggard.
"Steward Zhu, haven't you rested?" Niu Youdao asked casually when he met.
Zhu Shun smiled, didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to invite the three of them to go with him.
On the way deep into the mansion, Niu Youdao gradually discovered that something was wrong, and none of the people who came and went to see Zhu Shun saluted.
Niu Youdao vaguely saw that this housekeeper seemed to have lost ground in this Assassin's Mansion.
Among them, Zhu Shun has no way to speak to outsiders in this Golden State.
The real children of the Xiao family have been weak in Golden State for too long.
Xiao Beishan was weak when he was alive, and he was Hai Ruyue who came forward to take charge.
Xiao Bieshan passed away, Xiao Tianzhen was young and frail, and Hai Ruyue was still in charge.
Jinzhou has always been Hai Ruyue speaking on behalf of the Xiao family, and Hai Ruyue has been in charge of Jinzhou for nearly 20 years.
It turned out that the old people who were loyal to the Xiao family basically changed their stubble, and they didn't feel anything if they didn't have an accident, but when something happened, Zhu Shun realized that those forces loyal to the Xiao family had changed their flavor under Hai Ruyue's gentle means, the Xiao family was Hai Ruyue, Hai Ruyue was the Xiao family, the Xiao family was gone, as long as Hai Ruyue was there, it didn't matter.
So much so that an accident did not make any waves in Jinzhou, and Hai Ruyue easily changed her identity.
The Xiao family has become a thing of the past in Jinzhou, it has passed, since the matter has been done, Wandong Tianfu does not want the Xiao family to have any influence, and does not want to turn around on the ground in Jinzhou and cause any disputes and troubles, after all, the Xiao family still has a son in the ghost doctor.
And he, an old minister of the Xiao family, Li Wuhua was going to kick him out, but it was Hai Ruyuenian who left him behind after his hard work over the years.
Although the person stayed, the power was gone, and it was hollowed out, and now it is an apprentice of Li Wuhua who is the housekeeper of the Assassin Mansion.
When he saw Li Wuhua in the courtyard, Niu Youdao was also a little surprised, and found that Li Wuhua, a monk, also looked haggard.
Before he could be polite, Li Wuhua had already glared and said, "What are you doing?"
It's really not polite to this visitor, how can you easily forget the matter of catching Xiao Tianzhen and blackmailing Wandong Heavenly Mansion.
Niu Youdao said with a smile: "Elder Li got married, and he couldn't come to congratulate him, and he hopes to forgive his sins." I learned that the elder had a noble son, and I came to congratulate him. ”
When he married Hai Ruyue here, it was after the Nanzhou War, and he was in the period of seclusion, so he didn't want Tianyumen to find him, so he didn't come.
Li Wuhua waved her sleeves, "I don't need you to congratulate, I don't welcome you here!"
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone sank a little, "Elder Li, listening to what you mean, don't you want to end the alliance between Jinzhou and Nanzhou on behalf of Wandong Heavenly Mansion?" If that's the case, I'll go." But my ugly words are in front, I went out of this door, don't regret it in Wandong Tianfu!"
Li Wuhua was already upset, and now she was threatened in person, and she really wanted to yell at the other party to get out!
But after all, he is not in a hurry, he knows that today's Nanzhou is not as good as before, even Tianyumen was kicked out of Nanzhou by this one, and now this one has absolute influence on Nanzhou, he has no right to terminate the alliance on behalf of Jinzhou, but he is qualified to terminate the alliance on behalf of Nanzhou.
He can't afford such a big responsibility, otherwise he wouldn't let Niu Youdao enter the door.
Li Wuhua's apprentice Guo Wanjin, who is also the one who takes care of and takes over Zhu Shun's affairs on his behalf, is busy coming out to give his master a round under the steps, "The family teacher has been in a bit affected recently, Brother Niu don't take it to heart." ”
Niu Youdao didn't want to make trouble with this side, so he also went down the steps and asked with a smile: "If you are like a beautiful flower, and you have a noble son, it is the time to be happy, what makes Elder Li feel so bad?"
Guo Wanjin doesn't know whether to say this, this matter is still being kept secret, and he is afraid that the news will spread and cause chaos in Jinzhou.
At this moment, a child's "wow" cry faintly came from the inside.
Li Wuhua turned his head suddenly, his expression was full of anxiety, he knew that it should be the time for the child to eat again.
It is impossible to keep a child asleep without eating, but when a child wakes up, he cries, and when he hears his son's cry, he becomes upset.
Guo Wanjin couldn't help frowning.
Niu Youdao was keenly aware of something, and said slowly: "I want to see the eldest princess." ”
Li Wuhua turned around, "She just gave birth, and it is not suitable to see people, so it is the same if you tell me anything." ”
Niu Youdao: "Elder Li, I don't want anything to happen that affects the relationship between the two allies, something seems to have happened to you here! I repeat, I want to see the eldest princess!"
couldn't stop it, the more he stopped it, the more Niu Youdao realized that something had happened to Hai Ruyue.
It's nonsense that it is not suitable to see people after giving birth, and after giving birth, it has been several days, and ordinary women can see people, so he doesn't believe that there is a group of monks to help recuperate, but the recovery is slower and he can't see people.
Blocking is fruitless, Niu Youdao has to see it, so he does not hesitate to turn his face to know the truth.
In the end, Li Wuhua had no choice but to take him to see him.
As soon as he entered the house where Hai Ruyue was resting, it happened that a disciple of Wandong Tianfu had just cast a spell to regulate Hai Ruyue's blood qi.
There was also more than one disciple to help with the conditioning, and throughout the day, several disciples took turns to cast spells, and the same was true for the children.
At this point, I don't care about whether men and women give or don't kiss.
When the two maids helped Hai Ruyue to lie down, Niu Youdao saw Hai Ruyue's face, his eyes were blank, and his face was pale.
Hai Ruyue also saw him, and when she saw him, she immediately became excited, as if she had seen a devil.
