Summary of the previous chapter: Zi Shaoyan led everyone to say goodbye to the Ma family. Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan went to the Zi family together...
Ma Mu heard this and exclaimed: "That's very good. Qinghan is not young anymore. Is that Zilong from the Zi family... Well, I think it's not bad either. He looks good and has good literary talent."
, he is also tall, would he go well with Qinghan..."
The second son, Ma Yuan, heard his parents' conversation, shook his head and interrupted: "Father, mother, I think my sister-in-law and that Zilong are not suitable for each other. That Zilong is only twenty-two or three years old, and my sister-in-law is older than him.
.....”
"What's wrong? Can't we be big?" Ma's father said unhappily, "The emperor and that guest Yinyue still..." At this point, Ma's father suddenly realized that he had let something slip and quickly changed his words.
He said, "Age doesn't matter, as long as you can truly love each other, it's fine."
Father Ma exhaled heavily, thinking that fortunately he had reacted. If he said this too much and spread it to the emperor's ears, wouldn't he suffer the consequences?
Mother Ma also had a look of sadness on her face, and quickly stepped forward to help Father Ma pat his back.
The incident of the Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao and his nanny visiting Yinyue was known to everyone as early as 1620, the first year of Taichang last year. Logically speaking, a little nanny, also known as a nanny, is not a wet nurse at all.
She may have stayed in the palace, but Ke Yinyue not only stayed there, she was also named "Holy Lady" by Zhu Youxiao and was given a house.
Although Ma's father was in Ningyuan, he was very concerned about the internal affairs of the court. In fact, someone had already told Ma's father in a secret letter about Zhu Youxiao's "favor" of Ke Yinyue.
"You, be careful what you say," the horse mother warned the horse father.
Father Ma chuckled, looked at Zi Shaoyan who had disappeared, and took Mother Ma into his arms: "Madam, thank you for reminding me, hehe..."
Ma Mu frowned slightly and said: "Ruiqing, tell me... Quan'er and Qinghan go to Zijia Academy together, will there be any problems?"
"Problem, what problem?"
Ma Mu shook her head: "I don't know either. I always feel that something might happen along the way..."
"Okay, ma'am, don't worry too much..." Ma's father put his arms around Ma's mother and walked into the door of Ma's house with a smile.
...
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan followed the Zi family members and walked for nearly ten days. They came to a forest.
Ma Xiaoquan is a road blind, not to mention that he has been stuck in the carriage these past few days and has never come out except to go to the toilet and eat.
In fact, it's not that Ma Xiaoquan didn't want to come out, but that Zi Shaoyan, the elder of the Zi family, arranged it so that except for Ma Xiaoquan, not even Zi Biao and Zi Long came out.
"Okay, everyone can come out," Zi Shaoyan said slowly outside the carriage.
Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan were sitting in the same carriage. They looked at each other and slowly got out of the carriage.
"Wow" Ma Xiaoquan exclaimed as soon as he got off the carriage.
It is winter now, but the forest in front of us is lush and green, with no breath of winter at all. The birds in the forest are chirping, and occasionally there are lonely small animals jumping around the edge of the forest as if they are not afraid of people.
On the grass, they stared at Ma Xiaoquan and others.
"What kind of place am I here? Isn't it amazing?" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head.
Zi Shaoyan chuckled: "This place is called Fantasy Forest, Ma Xiaoquan, did you see anything?"
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his eyes, and seeing that the scenery in front of him remained unchanged, he nodded and said, "Of course, it's very beautiful, it's green, it's not winter at all!"
Zi Shaoyan and Zi Shaobo next to him looked at each other, their expressions were a bit complicated.
The two brothers Zi Biao and Zi Long came to this forest for the first time.
"Second uncle, fourth uncle... this Huanlin... dad has never told us brothers?" Zi Biao asked.
Zi Shaobo chuckled: "Zi Biao, apart from your eldest brother, few people from my Zi family can come to this phantom forest..."
"Only the eldest brother has been here? Fourth uncle, please don't lie to me?"
Zi Shaobo chuckled: "My Zi family just discovered this phantom forest not long ago. Passing through the phantom forest here can shorten the journey to the Zi family!"
"Is it so magical?" Ma Xiaoquan asked in surprise, "Uncle Shaobo, you said that if you pass through this phantom forest, you can shorten the distance a lot? Is it true or false?"
Zi Shaobo nodded: "It's a long story. Let's go in first. We'll discuss everything in detail when we get to Zi's house..."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and thought to himself, what is going on? You are not playing fantasy, are you? Is there another place where you can travel through space?
...
Following the elders of Zi Jia into the fantasy forest, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly felt dizzy.
He turned to look at his sister-in-law Li Qinghan, only to find that she was looking at him.
"Ma Xiaoquan, what's wrong with you?"
Ma Xiaoquan felt a little depressed. He was supposed to ask his sister-in-law this question, but why did her sister-in-law ask her instead?
"It's okay, I just feel dizzy. It's very dizzy. Sister-in-law, do you feel any discomfort?"
"Feeling uncomfortable?" Li Qinghan shook his head, "No, Ma Xiaoquan, you just said that this phantom forest is very beautiful... Why do I look so naked..."
"What? Bare?" Ma Xiaoquan frowned and glared at Li Qinghan, "Are you sure?"
Li Qinghan nodded: "Yes, you just said this place is beautiful, and we all think you are very strange..."
"Isn't it? You all look naked?"
Ma Xiaoquan looked at Zi Shaoyan and others, and everyone nodded.
"It's strange, why do I...uh?" At this point, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly began to feel severe pain in his abdomen.
"What the fuck?" Ma Xiaoquan covered his abdomen and squatted down, "What's going on? Why do you feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden?"
When Li Qinghan saw Ma Xiaoquan squatting down, he quickly came over worriedly: "Ma Xiaoquan, what's wrong with you?"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but the severe pain in his abdomen became more and more intense, forcing him to scream in pain.
Li Qinghan was so frightened by Ma Xiaoquan that he quickly turned around and called Zi Shaoyan.
Zi Shaoyan and Zi Shaobo came over in a few steps. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan's face covered with sweat, they were surprised and said, "What's going on? Weren't you fine just now?"
Li Qinghan cried anxiously: "I don't know, uncle Shaoyan, uncle Shaobo, please save Ma Xiaoquan, save him."
Zi Shaobo comforted him: "Qinghan, don't worry, we will try our best, we will definitely try our best."
Having said that, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. I don't know the cause. Furthermore... there was no doctor among the people present. What should I do?
Seeing Li Qinghan crying for Ma Xiaoquan, Zilong felt jealous in his heart. Seeing Ma Xiaoquan clutching his stomach and screaming in pain, Zilong felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
"It would be better to die of pain suddenly, huh" Zilong thought viciously in his heart.
...
Ma Xiaoquan was trembling violently all over his body. His abdomen felt like it was on fire, and it was as cold as falling into an ice cellar. It made Ma Xiaoquan very uncomfortable.
"The heart of time..." In the midst of pain, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but say these four words.
"Heart of Time" Zi Shaoyan and Zi Shaobo looked at each other. Seeing the latter shaking his head repeatedly, not knowing why, Zi Shaoyan asked Ma Xiaoquan: "What is the heart of time you are talking about?"
Ma Xiaoquan rolled his eyes and fainted.
Li Qinghan was so frightened that he quickly reached out and pressed Ma Xiaoquan's neck, fearing that he would die.
With this press, Li Qinghan found that Ma Xiaoquan's neck pulse was beating strongly, and he seemed to have just fainted.
Zi Shaoyan stretched out his hand to feel Ma Xiaoquan's breath, then stretched out his hand to hold Ma Xiaoquan's wrist, exhaled a long breath, and said: "It seems to be stable...the pulse is also stable, he should be fine."
Zi Shaobo let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his head, stood up, and said, "What's going on with the fourth son of the Ma family? Isn't this troublesome?"
Zi Biao came over and saw that Ma Xiaoquan was no longer moving. He comforted everyone and said, "Second uncle, fourth uncle, Ma Xiaoquan seems to be stable. Let's do this. I will carry him on my back and we will continue walking!"
Zi Shaoyan frowned slightly: "Zi Biao, your leg was injured yesterday, is that okay? How about letting Zi Long carry it?"
Before Zi Biao could speak, Zi Long lied and said, "Second uncle, I feel dizzy too."
Zi Shaoyan glanced at Zilong, sighed and said, "Well, then, I'll take care of it."
Zilong felt secretly ashamed in his heart, but it was absolutely impossible to ask him to carry Xiaoquan on his back.
Zi Biao laughed, and without any explanation, he carried Ma Xiaoquan on his back and patted his chest: "Second uncle, you must be looking down on me. After all, I am also the second son of the Zi family, hehe." Zi Biao said while saying
He said that while carrying Ma Xiaoquan on his back, Li Qinghan continued to move forward. Li Qinghan was worried about Ma Xiaoquan, so he walked forward with Zi Biao.
When Zilong saw Li Qinghan leaving, he quickly followed him.
Zi Shaoyan and Zi Shaobo looked at each other, and Zi Shaobo said: "Second brother... Zilong, this kid doesn't have much energy..."
Zi Shaoyan nodded: "Yes, because a woman can be so petty. I hope Zilong will understand if she is older."
Zi Shaobo nodded: "I hope..."
...
Half an hour later...
Zi Biao gently put Ma Xiaoquan down, wiped the sweat from his head, and said with a smile: "It's quite warm in this cold weather, carrying people on your back, haha."
Li Qinghan stepped forward and handed Zi Biao a handkerchief: "Zi Biao, thank you."
Zi Biao nodded, took the handkerchief Li Qinghan handed him, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are we all one family, hehe?"
