Liu Mingzhi was supported by two maids, Yu'er and Ping'er, and returned to the study.
Yu'er and the others originally wanted to help the prince to his room to rest, but they couldn't resist Liu Mingzhi's insistence on coming to the study. They didn't dare to be disobedient and had no choice but to send Liu Mingzhi to the study.
“You guys, please step back first!”
"Yes, I will leave this servant. If the prince needs it, please give me your orders."
The two slowly exited the study and closed the door directly to prevent the heat from the stove from dissipating again and making Liu Mingzhi's illness serious again.
When the two of them moved further away, Liu Mingzhi took a few deep breaths and pressed his right hand towards his abdomen. In an instant, Liu Mingzhi's face tightened, he coughed a few times, and he quickly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth.
.
After a short breath, Liu Mingzhi put down the handkerchief in his hand, straightened up and leaned on the chair to relax.
I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Mingzhi’s crimson complexion once again looked haggard and sallow.
Unfolding the handkerchief and looking at the dark bruises on it, Liu Mingzhi sighed and shook his head. It seemed that the injury had worsened.
Putting away the handkerchief with an indifferent expression, Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked towards the sand table.
He leaned over the sand table and observed, murmuring some words from time to time.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi's somewhat hollow eyes suddenly shrank, and a rare and terrifying light flashed through his eyes. The look of astonishment in his eyes could not be concealed.
Throwing down the bamboo pole in his hand, Liu Mingzhi wandered in the room for a long time with his hands behind his back.
When Liu Mingzhi stopped and turned around again to look at the sand table aside, he showed a complicated smile.
If his predictions were correct, Yunyang and the others would take advantage of the harsh winter to raid the Turkic royal court.
Otherwise, there is no other reason why Li Ye would have given himself such an imperial edict without any warning, telling him to return to Beijing to report on his duties and assume the so-called position of regent in charge of national affairs.
Moreover, Li Ye most likely did not discuss this imperial edict with anyone. Even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty hid it, otherwise he would not have received any news at all.
As for the reason for not consulting with the Manchu civil and military officials, it was simply because they were worried about the obstruction and admonishment of the civil and military officials.
Thinking about it, after I left the court, although the current court has temporarily given up party strife because of the Northern Expedition, this is just a calm situation on the surface. The party strife will not be completely eliminated because of the Northern Expedition.
Once the war is over and the world is unified, it is estimated that the situation will be stormy.
Now that everyone has a tacit understanding and is on an equal footing with each other, how can they allow a regent to suddenly appear and dominate them?
Having figured out the key, Liu Mingzhi gathered around the sand table and examined it again.
According to the current snow situation in the North, the Turks and the remnants of the Jin Kingdom will certainly continue to send scouts to investigate the situation of the Northern Expedition.
However, due to the hazy snow, the Northern Expedition army has been silent for a long time, and the scouts of the two countries will inevitably relax their vigilance. If the Northern Expedition army suddenly launches a surprise attack at this time, they may not be able to succeed in one blow.
If the weather is favorable for the Northern Expeditionary Army and the snow continues, the traces of the army's crossing will soon be covered with snow, completely concealing it.
Even if there are scouts for investigation, some subtle traces may not be easily discovered.
“If you are courageous and arrange it properly, the Turks will be in danger. I think your majesty’s confidence comes from your raid plan.”
“Husband, the soup is ready, can I come in?”
"come in!"
The door opened in response, and Qi Yun and the other girls walked into the study together. Because of Liu Mingzhi's illness, everyone paid no attention to other things and put all their focus on their husband's illness.
Even Yun Qingshi and Ling Weier, who were about to give birth, came in with their big bellies.
As soon as the girls entered the study, they thought that their husband was taking a nap on the bed, but they never thought that he was busy around the sand table again.
Qi Yun put the tray in her hand on the table, frowned and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a hint of anger in her eyes: "Husband, can't you take a little more rest?
Government affairs, government affairs, do you have nothing else but government affairs?
Are you not sure what your body looks like now?
Can you think about it for my sisters? If something happens to you, what will you do to my sisters?"
The couple have been married for more than ten years. Qi Yun has always adhered to the rules of womanhood and adhered to the etiquette of marrying and obeying her husband. She never dared to go beyond the limits.
Today, I finally lost my temper because of my husband's condition, and scolded my husband sharply in front of all the sisters.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the girls who walked into the study. Seeing the tears in Qi Yun's beautiful eyes flowing down her cheeks, he hurriedly dropped the bamboo pole in his hand and walked towards Qi Yun.
Instinctively, he took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the tears on the beauty's cheek.
"Don't cry. I made a mistake for my husband. I made a mistake for my husband. Isn't it okay? I listen to you, can't I just take a good rest?"
Qi Yun looked at her husband's helpless and flustered look, and the anger in her eyes gradually receded, and she could no longer generate any anger.
All the women also sighed silently, complaining in their hearts that their husbands did not know the importance of taking care of their own bodies.
Don’t he know that if something happens to him, his sister’s world will collapse?
“You still said it was okay, what’s the matter with the congestion on the handkerchief?”
Qi Yun's anger calmed down, but she accidentally saw the black blood on the handkerchief in Liu Mingzhi's hand, and suddenly became even more confused and panicked than Liu Mingzhi.
Jade hands grabbed Liu Mingzhi's wrist that was about to retract, and his eyes stared closely at Liu Mingzhi's eyes, full of pursuit.
“Husband, I am your wife, and my sisters are your bedside companions. What’s wrong with you?”
Qi Yun's words also caught the attention of Qi Ya and the others, who hurriedly gathered around Liu Mingzhi, staring closely at the blood on Liu Mingzhi's handkerchief, and immediately looked at Liu Mingzhi, full of inquiry.
Feeling the looks in the women's eyes, Liu Mingzhi knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, it would be difficult to end the situation.
“Ahem, it’s really not a big problem for me to be a husband. I failed to break through the realm a few days ago and my internal energy is out of control. Now the internal energy is running wild in my body, causing my muscles to reverse."
Hearing the words, Qi Yun immediately collapsed. Fortunately, Qi Ya on the side had quick hands and quick eyes and helped her sister, which prevented Qi Yun from falling to the ground.
Qi Yun looked at Liu Mingzhi with blank eyes: "Have you gone crazy?"
“It’s not that serious, it’s just that the internal breath is a little disturbed. My husband has been trying to control it, but he can’t control it at all.”
“Why didn’t you say it earlier? Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
“I’m afraid you might worry, I always thought I could handle it well.”
“Do you think that if you don’t tell us that you don’t know, we will be more worried about your safety? Do you know how much we have lived these days?”
“Master, Mr. Sai is here!”
Liu Song hurriedly ran into the study room and saw all the girls surrounding Young Master Liu. He subconsciously froze for a moment and finished mumbling the reason why he came.
As soon as Liu Song finished speaking, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Liu Song.
Qi Yun broke away from her sister Qi Ya's support and walked towards Liu Song with a look of surprise.
“Is Mr. Sai Hua Tuo Sai here?”
“It’s time to return to the young lady. It’s none other than Mr. Sai who is here.”
“Please!”
“Yes, I’ll take my leave, little one.”
About half a stick of incense, under the guidance of Liu Song, Saihua Tuo walked into the study carrying his medicine box.
When he saw the scene in the study room, he was stunned subconsciously and reacted immediately.
“The old man Saihua Tuo has met the young master and all the young ladies.”
“No courtesy!”
“Sai Lao is free from gifts!”
“Thank you, young master, thank you, madam!”
“Master, as soon as I received your letter, I came north non-stop. How is your health now?”
Liu Mingzhi glanced around at the girls: "It doesn't seem to be a big deal, please take my pulse first!"
“That’s fine, Master, please sit over here!”
Liu Mingzhi sat down and rolled up his sleeves for a moment.
“Yun’er, please go out first. Mr. Sai needs to be quiet when diagnosing his pulse.”
The girls were startled and quickly looked at Saihua Tuo with worried eyes.
Although Sai Huatuo didn’t know why Liu Mingzhi had to say such an insignificant excuse, he still nodded in agreement.
“Young ladies, please stay away for a while.”
The women looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.
"Okay, I respect Mr. Sai. If Mr. Sai needs anything, just give me your instructions."
