Chapter 117 Lifting the Golden Silk Soft Hedgehog Armor
After hearing Chu Han's words, Xie Yao didn't react at all. As if she hadn't heard anything, she turned back to the house and closed the doors and windows tightly.
Chu Han pondered for a moment, then frowned and left Fuyunxuan.
Today's Xie Yao is a little different.
…
After the incident passed, Prince Han's Mansion was peaceful for a few days, and on the surface, everyone seemed to be in peace.
Xie Yao calculated the time and decided that it was time to return to the General's Mansion to check on the poisoning situation of the three grandfathers and grandsons, and then left Prince Han's Mansion directly.
Before leaving, she ordered someone to deliver the developed antidote to Chu Han.
When Xie Yao arrived at the general's residence, she was a little surprised to learn that her fathers, Xie Lian and Xie Wenwu, were not in the residence.
After a few casual exchanges with Mr. Pei, she left to find her grandfather.
"Zi Qing, go and prepare two fishes, the bigger ones, and some firewood, just like the roast chicken last time." When they arrived outside the grandfather's courtyard, Xie Yao gave an order to Zi Qing before stepping into the courtyard.
"Princess Han, you are here at the right time. Come in and take a look at the old general." At the door, Mo Li had a sad look on his face. When he saw Xie Yao, it was as if he had seen a savior and he immediately stepped forward.
"What happened to grandfather?" Xie Yao was a little confused.
"You'll know when you go in and take a look." Mo Li opened the door and said inside: "Old General, Princess Han is here."
"Humph! She still knew how to come!" A dissatisfied snort came from inside, and then the old general came out. When he saw Xie Yao's empty hands, he immediately turned back, "She doesn't have any filial piety, she's gone!"
Xie Yao subconsciously glanced at her empty hands and smiled silently, "Grandpa, I have asked Zi Qing to prepare. I will make grilled fish for you today."
"Come in." The old general said in a low voice.
Xie Yao entered the house and saw breakfast on the table. It looked like she hadn't finished eating yet.
"Grandpa hasn't had breakfast yet. You go ahead and eat. It will get cold in a while." She looked at her grandfather and saw that he seemed different from the previous few days. He seemed to have lost weight.
"I've finished eating." The old general pushed his chopsticks and shouted outside with dissatisfaction: "Mo Li, come in and take away all these annoying things!"
The door was pushed open, and Mo Li came in and took a look at the table, with a look of helplessness on his face, "Old General, please eat as much as you can, your health is important. Look, you have lost several pounds in the past few days."
When Mo Li said this, Xie Yao suddenly realized that her grandfather was thin due to hunger.
Her expression turned serious immediately, she stopped Mo Li and said, "Uncle Li, please go out first, grandpa hasn't eaten enough yet."
When Li Moli heard this, he quickly backed out without waiting for the old general to speak.
The old general glared and shouted outside, "Mo Li, watch your skin carefully!"
It was quiet outside and there was no movement.
Xie Yao looked at her grandfather with a smile and thoughtfully placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, "Here, let's have breakfast."
"Don't eat!" The old general turned his head.
"If you don't eat breakfast, your stomach will be less active. When it's noon, it will think that you haven't eaten yet, so it won't be active. As a result, before you even have a few bites of grilled fish, your stomach won't be able to hold it. You
We can only watch." Xie Yao finished speaking with a serious face. Seeing that her grandfather didn't seem to believe it, she added another sentence.
"You still felt hungry when you ate less in the past few days. Are you less and less hungry these days?"
The old general turned back and glanced at Xie Yao with a dissatisfied look on his face, "I'll eat, that's all!"
Xie Yao put on a smile again and handed over the chopsticks, "My granddaughter didn't think carefully. If my grandfather was greedy, he ordered people to find me. Even if I can't come back, I can still make a dish and send it over."
Anyone who has eaten her cooking will have a more or less tasteless taste.
"That's pretty much it." The old general then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
As Xie Yao said, after eating a few mouthfuls, the old general started to burp.
But the old general didn't put down his chopsticks. He must have eaten a lot more until he couldn't hold it anymore. He ordered outside, "Mo Li, come in and clear the table."
"Don't bother Uncle Li, I'll do it." Xie Yao said and stretched out her hand.
"Leave it alone, you are holding me up like this, you have to accompany me to the mansion." The old general stood up slowly.
Seeing her grandfather looking a bit funny, Xie Yao held back her laughter and stepped forward to hold her grandfather's arm.
Li Qiye opened the door and came in. He was surprised when he saw the leftover food on the table, "Old General, you..."
"Shut your mouth! Use your mouth to clear the table!" the old general scolded and walked outside.
Li Li shook his head dumbfounded. Princess Han's words still worked. The old general ate the same amount of food as three or four meals in the past few days.
If Princess Han hadn't been by his side, he would have been afraid that the old general would collapse.
Xie Yao supported her grandfather and walked slowly out of the yard.
This is the most remote and quiet place in the General's Mansion, so there is almost no traffic nearby.
"Have you worn the clothes I gave you?" The old general looked ahead, his old eyes stained with the vicissitudes of the world.
Xie Yao paused, she really didn't have any clothes on today.
To be precise, I haven't left the house in the past few days, so I haven't thought about wearing it.
Putting on and taking off that piece of gold soft hedgehog armor is somewhat more laborious than ordinary clothes.
The old general's face immediately sank, "When you get back, put it on as soon as possible and don't take it off at will."
"Yes." Xie Yao nodded obediently.
"Don't take it seriously, I mean everything I say." The old general emphasized again, with a serious look on his face.
Xie Yao asked casually, "Do I need to wear it when sleeping?"
Although gold silk soft hedgehog armor is thin and flexible, it is still more uncomfortable than ordinary clothes.
"You don't have to wear it when you sleep. As soon as you get up, you should wear it even if you don't go out of the yard." After the old general finished speaking, he paused and his expression became more serious. "Remember, it has two uses. One is to resist being slashed by swords and guns.
The other is the soft armor that can be lifted up to expose the outer clothes."
Hearing his grandfather once again mention the operation of exposing the soft gold hedgehog armor, Xie Yao couldn't help but ask: "What is the purpose of exposing it?"
Although she is a modern person, she still feels that it is strange to lift her clothes when she has nothing to do.
The old general shook his head and was about to speak, but Xie Yao interrupted directly, "If grandpa doesn't tell me, I will go back to the general's mansion to study it carefully now. If I can't come back before lunch, grandpa will eat something else first and wait until I have a chance to come back."
It’s not too late to eat grilled fish.”
"Snapped!"
The old general immediately let go of his hand and glared at Xie Yao with a frown.
Xie Yao laughed sarcastically, "I am indeed curious."
The old general snorted coldly and raised his arm again, motioning for Xie Yao to support him, "Do you remember what I said about where this soft hedgehog armor came from?"
"It was given to you by the late emperor." Xie Yao's heart moved, "Is it possible that this gift from the late emperor can really frighten the officials of the court?"
She had indeed thought about this possibility, but she still had to get confirmation from her grandfather.
When faced with arrests by court officials, she often only has one chance to speak.
Unexpectedly, the old general shook his head, "It's not that simple."
