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 should step back first!"
"Yes, I will leave this servant. Your Majesty, please give me your instructions if necessary."
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 hurriedly took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. .
After a short break, Liu Mingzhi put down the handkerchief in his hand, straightened up and leaned on the chair to relax.
After an unknown amount of time, 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 again.
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 slightly hollow eyes suddenly shrank, flashing a rare and terrifying light, and he could not hide the look of astonishment in his eyes.
Dropping 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 prediction was correct, Yunyang and the others were going to take advantage of the bitter cold winter to raid the Turkic Royal Court.
Otherwise, apart from this, there is no reason why Li Ye would issue such an imperial edict to himself 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, and even the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty hid it, otherwise he would not have received any information about it.
As for the reason why he did not consult with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, it was simply because he was worried that the civil and military officials would obstruct and dissuade him.
Thinking about it, after I left the court, although the current court has temporarily given up party struggle because of the Northern Expedition, this is just a calm situation on the surface. The party struggle will not be completely eliminated because of the Northern Expedition.
Once the war is over and the world is unified, it will probably be a time of great turmoil.
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?
After figuring 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 Xue Mu's hazy state, the Northern Expedition army remained silent for a long time, and the scouts from the two countries would inevitably relax their vigilance. If the Northern Expedition army suddenly launches a surprise attack at this time, it may not be impossible to succeed with 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 His 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 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, and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a frown on her face, 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?
Don’t you know what your body is 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, and Qi Yun has always adhered to women's ethics and the etiquette of marrying and obeying her husband, and has 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 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 cuff and gently wiped the tears on the beauty's cheek.
"Don't... 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. Isn't it okay to have a good rest?"
Qi Yun looked at her husband's helpless and flustered look, and the anger in his eyes gradually receded, and there was no trace of anger anymore.
The girls also sighed silently, complaining in their hearts that their husbands did not know the importance of taking care of their own bodies.
Doesn't he know that if something happens to him, his sister's world will collapse?
"You...you said it was fine. What's the matter with the bruise on the handkerchief?"
Qi Yun's anger calmed down, but she accidentally saw the black bruises on the handkerchief in Liu Mingzhi's hand, and suddenly became more confused and panicked than Liu Mingzhi.
The jade hand 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 attracted 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 girls' eyes, Liu Mingzhi knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, it would be difficult to end the situation.
"Ahem... My husband really doesn't have a big problem. 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 around in my body, causing my muscles to reverse."
When Qi Yun heard this, she immediately collapsed. Fortunately, Qi Ya on the side had quick hands and quick eyes and helped her sister to prevent Qi Yun from falling to the ground.
Qi Yun looked at Liu Mingzhi with blank eyes: "Go...have you gone crazy?"
"It's not that serious. It's just that the inner 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 tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I'm afraid you might be worried. I always thought I could handle it well."
"Do you think that if you don't tell us, we will be more worried about your safety? Do you know how..."
"Master, Mr. Sai is here...he's here!"
Liu Song hurriedly ran into the study 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?"
"Yes... Madam, it's Mr. Sai who is here."
"Please!"
"Yes, please excuse me."
After half a stick of incense, under the guidance of Liu Song, Sai Huatuo walked into the study carrying his medicine box.
When he saw the scene in the study, he was stunned subconsciously and reacted immediately.
"The old man Sai Huatuo has met the young master and all the young ladies."
"No gift!"
"Sai Lao is free of charge!"
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Madam!"
"Master, as soon as I received your letter, I came north without stopping. How is your health now?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced around at the girls: "It doesn't feel like anything serious. Please take my pulse first!"
"Okay, Master, please sit 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 make such an indifferent excuse, he still nodded in agreement.
"Young ladies, please step aside for the time being."
The girls looked at each other and nodded hesitantly.
"Okay, I respect Mr. Sai. If Mr. Sai needs anything, just ask him."
