Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Bold Thought
The husband woke up in the morning and looked at its lifeless appearance. He shook his head in disappointment, sighed, and told her to find a place to bury the little thing if it still didn't wake up at night.
She observed it and found that it was indeed motionless. She took a stick and poked inside. However, the little mouse's body was still soft, but it didn't look like it was dead.
For a while, she couldn't decide whether to put it in the landfill, so she took a square cloth, covered the small cage and went out to work, thinking of coming back later to check on the situation.
In this busy schedule, I forgot all about it.
Xu Weiqiu didn't come back until he came back in the evening. Haitang hurriedly greeted her: "Madam, didn't you say you were just wandering around the palace? Why did you come back now?"
"Is something delayed?"
"What's the matter? Are you leaving the house again?"
Xu Weiqiu explained: "No, I spent some time playing chess with Yi in the backyard." Seeing that the girl obviously didn't believe him, he couldn't help but add:
"Additional personnel have been assigned to guard the back entrances. The courtyard wall is still so high. How can I get out without wings?"
Haitang thought about it, and then she felt relieved: "The prince only said that you should be grounded for half a month, which is only a few days away, so just bear with it."
Haitang knew that her master couldn't stay in the mansion, so she had to persuade her earnestly to prevent her from antagonizing the prince and causing trouble.
You must know that in this palace, Prince Sheng has always been indifferent, and the prince is the backbone of the entire palace. No one dares to defy his words.
Everyone in the government knew about this, but her master was the only one who was confused.
Xu Weiqiu didn't take her words to heart. Originally, she had no intention of sneaking out. The palace's library was enough to keep her busy for a while.
Thinking of the two medicine books she had brought back, she could no longer sit still. After explaining a few words to Haitang, she went back to her room and started reading by lighting up the lamp.
Just when he was lost in thought, Haitang knocked on the door and came in to prepare dinner.
In the past, every meal would be filled with sumptuous dishes all over the table.
But she was the only one dining in the entire east courtyard. In order to avoid extravagance and waste, Xu Weiqiu later confessed to Haitang that she did not like big fish and meat, and hoped that every meal would be light.
So Haitang only brought in a few delicious side dishes.
Haitang put the food on the table, turned around and said to her: "Madam, that white mouse is alive again."
Xu Weiqiu was so absorbed in reading that he didn't hear her words clearly and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said that white mouse you raised came to life again."
Hearing this, Xu Weiqiu looked at her in disbelief: "Really?"
"Yes, I just saw it motionless. I originally planned to take it to the backyard and bury it later. I even covered it with a piece of cloth. But just then I passed by and heard a sound inside, so I took the cloth away and took a look.
, it is alive again. This little thing is quite tenacious, I even fed it some rice before coming."
"I gonna go see."
Xu Weiqiu didn't care about eating, threw the book aside, quickly got up and ran out, and sure enough he saw the little thing in the cage eating.
Although he doesn't look as energetic as before, he is indeed alive and his hands and feet can move.
Xu Weiqiu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
The medicine she prepared several times before killed several white mice, but she didn't dare to try it on monkeys. She thought there was little hope this time, but she didn't expect that this little thing came back to life.
Failure is the mother of success, this saying is indeed true.
Xu Weiqiu was so excited that he couldn't help but turn around and hugged Haitang beside him.
Seeing how happy she was, Haitang couldn't help but feel glad that she hadn't buried the little thing just now.
At night, Xu Weiqiu brought the white mouse into the bedroom and kept an eye on its condition, fearing that something might go wrong. However, fortunately, everything went as usual with the white mouse. By the next morning, it had changed from its previous sickly appearance.
He jumped up and down in the cage.
So one day later, she used the original formula and adjusted the dose and tried it again. Because the dose was reduced, the white mouse only lasted one night in a state of suspended animation, and the next day, it started jumping around again.
Seeing that the two tests did not cause any substantial harm to the white mice, Xu Weiqiu was overjoyed and had a bolder idea in his mind...
---------------
The beauties in gorgeous clothes on the stage twisted their slender waists and danced beautifully.
The aroma of wine in a romantic place is always intoxicating, and the men on the seats are admiring it like crazy, already addicted to it.
Zhao Yan was in it, seemingly intoxicated, but he always maintained a certain degree of sobriety.
A friend on the side leaned over and commented arbitrarily on the woman on the stage:
"Your Majesty, look at the girl in red. Look at her figure and her twisted waist. She's so sexy..."
Zhao Yan frowned slightly as he listened to the unbearable vulgar language. He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly without saying a word. Although this friend said disdainful words, his eyes were so sincere that he wished he could look like that dancer in red.
.
Zhao Yan picked up the wine glass and took a sip. From the corner of his eyes, he spotted a familiar figure behind the hanging satin. He put down the wine glass, stood up and left the stand.
"master!"
Seeing him approaching, Meng Qi stood solemnly and bowed to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan nodded at him, and the two of them arrived at an unoccupied box one after another.
"How is it? What can you gain from this trip?"
He has always deployed people in Kyoto, and whenever there is any disturbance in the palace, he can receive the news immediately.
Recently, the news has been closed. He knew that two dead soldiers were killed by mistake last time, which aroused suspicion from the superiors.
A single move can affect the whole body. Under such a situation, the people he placed in Kyoto naturally did not dare to move lightly.
In order not to be too passive, he had to let Meng Qi go.
Meng Qi presented a waist card, which was a secret card that could command everyone in Kyoto.
Zhao Yan reached out and took it.
Meng Qi looked at him solemnly and replied: "I have received news that the emperor intends to let you lead the troops to support General Fang."
"What?" Zhao Yan thought he heard wrongly, but saw Meng Qi nodded solemnly.
Zhao Yan's expression changed drastically.
Meng Qi said anxiously: "As soon as we leave, all the previous efforts will be in vain. Master, you should think of a way."
Zhao Yan's eyes were cold: "If you want me to die, I have to die. Since the holy will has been decided, what can I do."
As he spoke, he exerted force with his five fingers, and the token in his palm instantly disappeared...
Fang Jia was the general of the Dacheng Dynasty and led 30,000 troops to defend the northern border.
Several nomadic tribes in the north have been restless. In recent years, the Huduge tribe has become more and more aggressive and has repeatedly invaded the Chengchao border. The year before last, they even joined forces with Donghu to invade the Chengchao border.
