Chapter 132 A Strange Meeting
Chapter 132 A strange meeting
"Yang Cong, let me ask you."
As Shen Yuexi spoke, she stretched her hand forward and couldn't find the door.
She wore a metal mask on her face, but the key was that there were no holes for her eyes, so she couldn't see the road ahead at all. It made everything in front of her eyes dark at noon.
"Mother, the door is over here, be careful of the threshold," Yang Cong took her wrist and walked into the door, "You insist on seeing Prince Mei, and I have no choice. I can't disobey the young master's orders, so I can only make do with it like this. one time."
"That's the problem," Shen Yuexi stepped cautiously, "Why do you listen to Xiao Zhuo so much and make me feel so uncomfortable."
"Young Master is the god of our Xiaogang Village, so of course you have to listen." Yang Cong replied confidently, "And it's not me who listens to Young Master, it's Madam who wants to listen."
Shen Yuexi was stunned for a moment.
Yes, Yang Cong has been preventing her from seeing Mei Pu, and she has been obedient. In fact, she just doesn't want to go against Xiao Zhuo's wishes.
In her heart, she also felt that Xiao Zhuo's judgment was always correct, and she would subconsciously abide by it, except when it came to treating prisoners, which was the rare time she went against Xiao Zhuo.
It’s just that now she has to see Mipu. There are many things to explain to Mipu. Neither Yang Cong nor Li Wan can do this, she must come in person.
"Madam, please sit down." Yang Cong helped her sit down on a soft cushion. "The Crown Prince will be here soon. I'll be waiting at the door."
Shen Yuexi listened as Yang Cong's footsteps disappeared behind her, and then there were footsteps in front of her, stopping a few feet in front of her.
"Mepu?" Shen Yuexi couldn't help but asked.
"Here," Maple's voice sounded across from her, "We are both wearing masks. It's really a strange meeting."
Shen Yuexi thought the mask was in the way and reached out to take it off. But thinking of Xiao Zhuo's instructions and Yang Cong's instructions, she put her hand down again and said with a smile: "I don't want to be in trouble."
"As expected of Xiao Zhuo, he always thinks more," Mapu said, "Shen... Miss, what are your orders when you come to see me?"
Shen Yuexi sat up straight and wanted to put on a straight face first, but thinking that Maple couldn't see her expression, she had to pretend to sound fiercer.
"You will recuperate in this Taoist temple from now on."
"yes."
"Doctor Hua has excellent medical skills. I will prepare the medicinal materials and give them to him, and he will treat you."
"yes."
"Don't play pranks on Dr. Hua."
"yes."
"Why did you just answer 'yes'?"
Shen Yuexi felt that Mei Pu didn't look like the prince at all. He didn't have the aura of Xiao Zhuo or the toughness of Xiao Beiheng. He was as obedient as a little brother next door listening to his sister's instructions.
"I have already agreed to Miss Shen's instructions, so I will naturally answer this. Miss Shen, do you want to go back to Xiaogang Village?"
"Well, I still have a lot of things to do there. These 1,500 soldiers can just be stationed here. Xiaogang Village is not that big to accommodate so many people."
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. Yang Cong was criticized by Yang Cong before in Xiaogang Village, and he was also very honest. Maybe this is Maple's character.
"Are you feeling better?" She decided to change the subject so that Maple wouldn't answer with just one word.
"It's getting better. I slept for two hours for the first time in more than two years." Maple began to speak faster. "I was so excited at the time. Miss Shen may not know this feeling. It's... a The joy of a chronically ill person when he discovers that he can be cured.”
Although Shen Yuexi couldn't see Maple's expression, she could hear the suppressed excitement in Maple's voice.
She has never experienced Maple's illness, but she can imagine that as the king's son, he looks like an evil ghost and cannot live or die.
"So you jumped on the roof and scared everyone."
"I can't control myself while dancing," Maple replied honestly. "This excitement has not faded yet. After all, I am the son of the King of Xiliang. I don't want to lose my composure in front of the ordinary people in Xiaogang Village."
"With specific medicine, your illness will be completely cured."
"Will my lost eyebrows and hair grow back? Will my hands return to their original shape?" Maple asked impatiently.
Shen Yuexi hesitated for a moment. She didn't know much about leprosy. She wasn't sure whether the disease in the past two years had damaged the organs.
"It should grow back." Shen Yuexi decided to give Maple more confidence.
"How long will it take to heal?"
"In about two weeks, the toxins in your body will be completely eliminated and your skin will begin to return to normal."
"Great, so in one month... no, even two months, I will be a normal person?" Maple's clothes made a sound, and you could hear him standing up excitedly.
"That's right, you can rest here and recuperate."
"Okay, I learned that my father has returned to Yongwei City safely, and I am no longer worried." Mapu's footsteps sounded as he walked back and forth twice, his voice filled with joy, "Where's Xiao Zhuo? He is now in where?"
"He led his cavalry to the territory of Xirong," Shen Yuexi emphasized, "This is what I want to tell you. Now Xirong's army is surrounding him."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Maple asked in surprise.
Shen Yuexi thought in her mind that she wanted to say it, but she felt it was inappropriate to make this request rashly. She wanted to wait until the medicine took effect. As a result, Maple came to Baixiu Mountain and only now did she get the chance.
"I only have the chance to say it now. He has nothing to do there for the time being. Besides, you don't have an army, so you can't help him. I hope you can write to the King of Xiliang and ask him to send troops to help my husband."
"No problem, I will write a letter now to ask my father to send troops to help Xiao Zhuo immediately."
Shen Yuexi sat there, listening to the sound of the desk opposite and the sound of pen writing on paper. It ended soon.
"Here comes someone."
There was a sound on the curtain behind him, and a man's voice said: "His Royal Highness."
Maple's voice turned stern: "I asked you to deliver a letter to my sister before, but you were caught by the bandits here and the letter was not delivered. Is that right?"
"Your Highness, the villain is guilty."
Only then did Shen Yuexi remember that Mei Pu had sent a letter to her sister before. It turned out that the messenger had been captured by bandits here.
"You have been delivering letters for me. I will give you a chance to make a difference. You must hurry up and deliver the letter to my father."
"Then the letter to Concubine Xian..."
"I will ask someone else to deliver my sister's letter later. You don't have to worry about it. Just go quickly."
After sending away the messenger, Maip said: "Don't worry, Miss Shen. I have sent a letter to ask my father to help him. I will write another letter to my sister later to tell her the good news that my condition has improved. You and Xiao My sister should also know about the kindness she has shown to our Mei family."
While the two were talking, Feng Zhang's voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Silly girl, you are so unruly, stealing food."
"You're talking nonsense," Yang Cong said angrily, "Which of your eyes saw me eating it secretly?"
"What was it that you secretly stuffed into your mouth just now? You hid it in your sleeve as soon as I came over... I'll know it as soon as I smell it."
There was a snap, as if someone had slapped someone.
"You...how dare you hit me," Feng Zhang's voice grew distant. "A good man doesn't fight with a woman."
"I'll tear your lousy mouth apart!" Yang Cong's voice followed closely and disappeared into the distance.
Shen Yuexi was a little confused, why did the two people quarrel as soon as they met. Feng Zhang was not such a person in front of her, and Yang Cong was the same. Why was Feng Zhang so angry when he saw him?
While she was still thinking about it, Maple's voice sounded:
"Shen...Miss Shen."
"Prince Mei, please speak."
After Shen Yuexi responded, she waited there. For a long time, she didn't see any sound from Mei Pu, so she asked strangely: "Prince Mei, I was waiting for you to speak, why didn't you say anything again?"
