Chapter 38 The decree arrives
"Master, are you awake?" Xia Zhu looked at Ai Ming carefully. Seeing Ai Ming open her eyes, she was so scared that she jumped up. She ran out regardless of the situation, shouting: "Master, are awake..."
In a short while, the whole room was filled with people. Qingye lowered his waist and whispered in Ai Ming's ear: "Master, Master."
Ai Ming said a little and fell into a deep sleep again. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning. "Lao Jia, Lao Jia." Ai Ming's voice was very weak. His body was so weak that he had no strength at all.
"Master, are you awake?"
A voice came from above Ai Ming's head. Ai Ming barely opened his eyes wide and saw that he was a very beautiful girl. "Who are you?"
"Bizi is Dongmei. Master, butler Jia and butler Qing are all waiting at the door, so Bizi asked them to come in." Dongmei said in a low voice, afraid that Ai Ming would faint again if he shouted loudly.
Dongmei? Don’t know. Butler Jia? Butler Qing? Don’t know. "Pour glass of water for me."
"Yes." Dongmei hurried to the table, took a cup and poured Ai Ming a glass of water, helped Ai Ming up, let him lie half on his shoulder, and then fed Ai Ming a few sips of water. Ai Ming remembered that Dongmei was one of the four maids he had just bought from the Yass Store? "Dongmei, right? Go and call Lao Jia and Qingye. By the way, go and cook some rice porridge for me in the kitchen."
"Yes." Dongmei responded, raised the pillow from the bed, let Ai Ming lie down, and then went out and asked someone to go.
"Master, you're awake, you're so anxious. If you have a few people, how can you live?" Soldier Ar and Qingye hurried in and bowed to Ai Ming to the end. Soldier Ar was even crying and snot.
At this time, Dongmei also brought the rice porridge over. It turned out that the rice porridge was boiling in the small stove at the door. What I was afraid of was that Ai Ming would eat it as soon as he woke up. These days, Ai Ming had been in a coma and could not enter solid food at all. He could only slowly fill some liquid food, and then add some tonics, etc. to save his life.
Seeing that Dongmei brought the rice porridge over, Ai Ming didn't care about talking to Soldiers A and others, so he had already opened his mouth into a bird-shaped shape and waited for Dongmei to come and feed it.
The porridge is so bad, bitter and sweet, and I don’t know what it is inside, but Ai Ming still drank it clean. He was so hungry. As long as it was something that could enter his mouth, no matter whether it was delicious or not. "Give me a bowl."
"Master, you have been empty for so long and you really can't eat more, so just hold on." Qingye looked at the embarrassed Dongmei and kindly interrupted.
Ai Ming also knew this truth, so he stopped talking and just asked, "How long have I been in a coma?"
"It's been more than two months, Master." Soldier Arc said.
Ai Ming is silent, it's been more than two months, so fast. Thinking about it, he has been in the real world for so many days. The only thing is that he has been in a coma in the game, so he has not violated the rules. Otherwise, he will be really losing a lot. Although his body in the real world has improved, he has not received good care in the game, so Ai Ming feels very tired now, so he said, "You all retreat, I'm tired."
Everyone looked at each other and retreated helplessly.
"Sister Lan, are you here?" After Ai Ming and others left, he couldn't wait to call Lan Ruo. The one he was most worried about in reality was Lan Ruo. Although he was fully focused when practicing qigong that day, he also knew that without Lan Ruo's help, he might not have been able to pass that level.
"Young Master." Lan Ruo quickly came out of the gold button, threw himself on Ai Ming, and started crying with sobs.
Ai Ming shook a cold war. Lan Ruo's body was so cold. It was almost like holding an ice cube in his arms. When he thought about it, he understood what was going on. She must have become like this in order to help her. Ai Ming was moved to Lan Ruo's long hair with his hands and said, "Silly girl, what's there to cry? Ai Ming is not very good?" But it was so cold that Ai Ming could hardly hold on, but he was afraid of hurting Lan Ruo's heart, so he didn't dare to let go, so he had to endure it.
Lan Ruo got up from Ai Ming embarrassedly, reached out to wipe her tears, and said, "Young Master is fine." Lan Ruo's tears were very strange. Because she was a spiritual body, the tears shed from her eyes were quickly absorbed by her own skin.
Ai Ming looked at Lan Ruo carefully. Lan Ruo's face is so bad now, it is so white, which is very different from the white and red skin in the past. "Thank you for your hard work." Ai Ming said movedly.
"As long as the young master is fine," Lan Ruo smiled sweetly, "You are still very weak now, so don't talk too much, just take a rest first."
Ai Ming also felt tired, nodded, lay down under Lan Ruo's gentle servant, and soon fell asleep.
It feels so comfortable when the sun shines on his body. Ai Ming stretched his body. Life is so comfortable. Since he had four beautiful maids, he has been so happy that he has been so happy all day long, living a fairy-like life. But he still can't tell who these four sisters are, but he is too lazy to tell the difference, as long as they are all by his side.
"Master, this is a sorted gift list. Please check it out." Qingye walked over with a note. There was no way, the things were so full. He was busy in the Shenji Camp all day long, and he had not sorted out the gift list until now.
Ai Ming took it and opened the note with great interest. It was full of life and the latter said something was given. However, it was not what Ai Ming wanted to find. Anyway, he didn't know most of it, so he turned to the end of the note, and this was what he wanted to see. Not bad, not expecting that he could receive so many things after suffering from illness. Ai Ming was very satisfied. It reads: "Four red gold ingots, each weighing two pounds; five thousand three hundred taels of silver; one enamel-inlaid gold-bristled flower magic god; one big and twelve jade plates; one string of Haidong beads bracelets; fifty pounds of pills of various medicinal materials..."
"Qingye, remember to return the gift." Ai Ming was too lazy to see those people's faces. Anyway, he had the right to have the heart. Qingye took care of him. Although his body was still a little weak, it was almost as good as that. There were more people visiting him than when he was unconscious, and he received a lot of gifts. Unfortunately, he didn't come when he wanted to see him. Did Sister Mo really look at him so cruelly and look at him alone and no one to take care of him? It is said that she had come once when she was unconscious, but she didn't come when she woke up like this.
It's so pitiful, no one hurts. "Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju..." Ai Ming shouted. Anyway, the four sisters looked exactly the same, and they couldn't tell who was who, so they cheered.
"Here, lord, what are you going to do?" Qiu Ju was suffering from snow clam ginseng porridge. When she heard Ai Ming's shouting, she quickly put down the work in her hand and ran over.
"Press the master's shoulders." Ai Mingbai looked in a good position and closed his eyes.
Qiu Ju looked at Ai Ming and Ginseng Porridge in embarrassment. At this time, Xia Zhu happened to come in, gestured to her, and looked at the fire. Qiu Ju then pinched Ai Ming's shoulder with confidence. The four sisters have been in the mansion for a while and have a rough understanding of the master's temper. From the moment they entered the mansion, they were worried about their faces and acted carefully to the dare to make a few jokes, it has also changed a lot. Although this master sometimes is lustful, it is generally good. He is kind to them. Anyway, they are lifelong workers, so lustful. If you want to be lustful, you can lustful. Destiny is already destined.
Oh, oh, it's comfortable. Love hat squinted his eyes and enjoyed it. One hand gently stroked Qiuju's tender little hand. Qiuju's face turned red when touched directly, but he was helpless.
"Master...Master..." At this time, the soldier armor ran in panic.
"What happened? I'm so panicked." Ai Ming opened his eyes, feeling very unhappy.
The soldier ran to the front and back, took a few breaths in a hurry, and said, "Master, the imperial edict has arrived."
Imperial edict? What imperial edict? Ai Ming was inexplicably confused. "Master, why don't you change your clothes quickly? If it's delayed, it's a very disrespectful crime." Qingye was also anxious next to him. The master seemed to be asleep, why didn't he move? He was scared to death. Ye was also very surprised. How could an imperial edict appear? No, is it that the master went to Tianzhu to pick the housekeeper? Cold sweat broke out on Qingye's forehead.
"Hurry, hurry, where is my clothes. Qingye, you go to the lobby to support me first, and I'll be fine soon." Ai Ming woke up and stood up quickly.
Qingye agreed and hurried to the lobby. Ai Ming ran back to the bedroom, and under the servitude of the four sisters, he hurriedly changed into his military uniform and ran over quickly.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a female official sitting in the host and guest seat, leisurely drinking tea. Ai Ming hurried over and bent down deeply and said, "I don't know that my father-in-law is coming, and the subordinate official is in a misfortune. I forgive my guilt and forgive me."
The female official stood up, looked at Ai Ming charmingly, helped her up with both hands, and said, "You are polite, Lord Ai. Today I am asking for the imperial edict, so I have been polite to Lord Ai. You should go and prepare to accept the edict."
Ai Ming took a few steps back timidly and said, "Secretary, let's prepare now, my father-in-law wait a moment."
After the two of them had some polite conspiracy, Ai Ming went back to take a shower and change his clothes. After everything was done, he returned to the lobby. The incense table had been set up in the center of the lobby, just waiting for Ai Ming's arrival.
"Ai Ming received the order." The female official shouted proudly, holding the order in both hands and lifted it over the top.
"I am the deacon of the Shenjiying Law and Staff, and the deacon, received the order, long live my emperor." Ai Ming knelt down facing south, shouted long live three times, knelt three times, and then cried on the ground, waiting for the female official to announce the order.
"The emperor said, "I heard that Ai Ming, the deacon of the Shenjiying Law and Statue Hall, was diligent in his daily work and did not dare to slack off. He was dedicated to the country and could be a model. I was very happy. In order to express my commendation, I specially promoted Ai to the second rank of Fengtian Pavilion's Consciousness Minister. In the past, he was unchanged and was also the manager of the Dajingtang. I respect this."
"I thank the Lord Long's kindness, long live my emperor." After Ai Ming thanked him, he knelt forward a few steps, raised his hands high, took the imperial edict from the female official, got up and put the imperial edict on the shelf on the long table in the center of the wall, and then knelt down and kowtowed. This was the end.
"Please sit down, father-in-law." After everything was arranged, Ai Ming respectfully asked the female official to sit down.
"No, I have to go back and reply to the decree. I can't stay for a long time, so I'll say goodbye first. By the way, don't forget to go to the morning court tomorrow, thank you." The female official looked at Ai Ming with a smile.
"Since my father-in-law has something to do, the subordinates will not try to keep him. Please accept this little thing with a smile." Ai Ming took out a bag of paper and handed it over with his sleeves.
The female official took it and smiled even happier. She put the paper bag on her hand and walked out with Ai Ming's wrist. She said, "Mr. Ai is young and promising, and is very favored by the emperor. I congratulate you on Lord Ai. I hope to be closer to Lord Ai in the future and be more blessed. I hope Master Ai will give you some advice. Remember, my name is Chunxi." After saying that, she gently scratched Ai Ming's wrist with her hand.
Ai Ming smiled awkwardly, but he didn't dare to let go. He had heard that the female officials in the palace rarely saw a man on weekdays. They were all hungry and flirted with each other when they saw the opportunity. When they saw him today, they were indeed well-known. Although this female official was not ugly, Ai Ming had a thief heart but no courage, so he had to pretend not to understand and do whatever he wanted.
After sending the female official, all the family came up to congratulate him. Ai Ming gave the reward one by one. After sending him down, he sat there and stopped moving.
This imperial edict is strange. How could the emperor promote himself for no reason? This official is no big deal. He is a second-rank counselor, but he is just a casual man. But the biggest doubt is that he is considered a military officer, but why did he give him a civil servant? Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have not been in harmony. Moreover, in the Tufang Empire, it was even more difficult for the two sides to fight each other because of his respect for literature and demotion. Is it considered that he was on two boats? The counselor is purely a position without any oil. Fortunately, the deacon of the Treasury is still in front of him, otherwise it would be a big loss. By the way, how could he still be a manager in the Big Mirror Hall? Is this promotion related to the birdman?
I picked up the imperial edict to play with it. This is the first time I saw this thing. I thought it was so luxurious before, but I didn’t expect it to be just a torn yellow cloth supported by two thin sticks. It was so boring. After looking at the content carefully, I finally confirmed that I was not dreaming that I had been promoted.
"Master, what are you doing?" Soldiers and Qingye came in and saw Ai Ming spinning back and forth with his two fingers in his hand. He asked in horror.
"It's nothing." Ai Ming said calmly, "Qingye, go and put the imperial edict away, don't lose it." After that, he gave the imperial edict to Qingye. Qingye hurriedly took it with both hands and walked out with his hands. He was not as bold as Ai Ming, and dared to throw it away with the imperial edict.
Ai Ming stood up and walked out. He was not afraid of the two men's complaints, saying that he did not take the imperial edict seriously, and he was thrown away. No one believed it when he said it. Ai Ming decided to go to the Big Mirror Hall, not to figure out the matter, and he felt uneasy. He didn't know if anyone had cleaned the shadow nematodes in the Big Mirror Hall these days.
"Oh, you guys, you know how rare it is to come to see me, the old man. I'm a goddaughter, and I can't come out." The King of Anyang smiled, but his tone was very unhappy.
Lan Ruo came out of the golden button, Yingying bowed, and before she could speak, Anyang King shouted there, "Daughter, why did you become like this? Something happened?" Anyang King was very shocked and angry. His resentment towards Lan Ruo disappeared completely, leaving only heartache.
Ai Ming rubbed his hands beside him and smiled foolishly, "It's okay, it's okay, I just feel a little cold, and it'll be fine in a few days." Before he finished speaking, he felt a powerful force coming over. Without a moment of reaction, he was knocked over by the force and rolled a few times and fell to the corner.
"Young Master." Lan Ruo exclaimed, hurriedly ran over, helped Ai Ming up, and wiped the blood left behind by Ai Ming's mouth with heartache.
"Daughter doesn't have to worry about him. He can't die. Tell me, what's going on? Why are you seriously injured? Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll vent your anger." The King of Anyang shouted loudly. He felt sorry for him. He finally kidnapped a gentle and filial daughter, but was bullied. That's not bad.
Lan Ruo ignored King Anyang and carefully helped Ai Ming up, walked over slowly, then knelt down and said, "My father, this is not your fault." Then he told the beginning of the matter.
The King of Anyang pondered for a while, opened his mouth and spit out a dark blue inner elixir. The inner elixir swung to the top of Lan Ruo's head, illuminating a blue light, surrounding Lan Ruo's middle. Lan Ruo was stunned for a moment, understood, and quickly sat cross-legged and practiced under the blue light.
After a while, King Anyang sucked the inner elixir back into his mouth, and looked at Lan Ruo's gradually rosy face and smiled with relief. Lan Ruo did not stop and sat on the ground to continue practicing. This time she made great gains. King Anyang's tens of thousands of years of skills were not just for jokes. She not only completely replenished the skills she had lost before, but also made a little progress.
After looking at Lan Ruo with loving eyes, King Anyang's eyes turned to Ai Ming again. It's a headache. What's the point of this kid? He used to suggest leaving his daughter when he was not paying attention, but his daughter was a scheming person and was reluctant to do so. He was really puzzled. But this kid's kung fu is so low that he can protect his daughter. But he is very different from what he learned and cannot help him improve. What should I do? Forget it, it seems that he is going to lose money. "Come here," King Anyang whispered, afraid of disturbing his daughter who was practicing.
Ai Ming bent down and lowered his head, slowly walked to the King of Anyang, and did not dare to show his anger. The King of Anyang beat him, but he was not angry. This is what he said, "Who told me that he was incompetent to Lan Ruo. Seeing that Lan Ruo was cured by the King of Anyang, I was very grateful to him. Not to mention that he only beat him, he would be willing to do it again. "Senior has any instructions."
The King of Anyang stared at Ai Ming for a while, then said, "I really can't see what you are good about, why is my daughter following you wholeheartedly?" Seeing Ai Ming smiling there, I was even more angry, but I was helpless. I couldn't beat him again, it hurts him, but it hurts in my daughter's heart. "You go in and pick something for use, remember, if my daughter is hurt a little, even if you run to the ends of the world, I can't spare you." As soon as he finished speaking, a door appeared out of thin air in front of Ai Ming.
Ai Ming looked at King Anyang hesitantly, not knowing what he was doing. "I haven't entered yet, there are treasures I have collected over the years. Please bring some for use." After King Anyang said that, he closed his eyes. He really couldn't stand Ai Ming's face.
Baby? Ai Ming was immediately attracted. After bowing to King Anyang, he couldn't wait to open the door and go in. As soon as he entered the door, he stayed in a daze. The room was so big that what surprised him the most was that the room was filled with various magic weapons, which was too many. Thinking about it, the King Anyang lived for tens of thousands of years and was in power. Naturally, there were many magic weapons he could collect. In addition, the rewards from emperors of all dynasties and gifts from subordinates and colleagues, it was difficult to think about it.
Becoming rich, Ai Ming rushed over with ecstasy. Wow, there are more than a hundred swords, and half of them are ready; what are these small bottles? No matter what, take half of them first; no, there are four or five rings, so two are better; this armor is good, and it is just right to wear them; what is this? Is it cold silk? Sister Lan must like it; good guy, Yutong Jian, take it; this thing looks inconspicuous, but it can be collected by King Anyang, and it must be useful to take it; why are there so many strange weapons, it is fun, take it half; wow, there are so many gold bricks and jewelry, but think about it, King Anyang seems to just take the magic weapon himself, and he didn't ask to take these things. Alas, pain, there is no way, I have to give up my hobby...
Aiming came out of the room with satisfaction while burping.
"Young Master." Lan Ruo came over with a smile and sorted out his messy hair for Ai Ming.
The face of Anyang King was unstable. This kid was so handsome that he actually took most of his collection. He regretted not being able to lead the wolf into the house. But it would be too late to say anything now. It would be great if his daughter was not by his side. There would be room for recovery. But now, for the sake of face, he had to eat coptis chinensis and could not say anything about his suffering.
"Thank you for your kindness. You will definitely work hard to take good care of Sister Lan. Please rest assured." Ai Ming walked over and bowed sincerely to King Anyang. Senior is senior. He has taken so many things and his standing posture has not changed. He is of high quality.
Lan Ruo quietly pulled La Aiming's sleeve and signaled him not to go too far. She also knew that according to Aiming's personality, she would definitely not be ruthless if she entered it.
"You go, I'm tired." King Anyang closed his eyes, his heart was calm. He was afraid that if he continued to look, he would be unable to help but kill Ai Ming.
Ai Ming didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to bow with Lan Ruo and retreat.
Ai Ming, who was in a happy mood, walked on the street and suddenly stopped and whispered to Lan Ruo in the golden buttons: "Sister Lan, I forgot to ask seniors if my promotion has anything to do with him."
Chapter completed!
