Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui seriously and said, "Huai Guzi has cured Fu Yao. I want a reward, a big reward."
Li Shui immediately became energetic and waited for Ying Zheng's reward.
However, Ying Zheng changed the subject and asked, "Huai Guzi, what do you want?"
Li Shui's heart suddenly became hot and he thought: "Whatever I want, you will give it to me?"
However, before Li Shuishi opened his mouth, Ying Zheng said again: "That's all, I will give you a few hours to think about it carefully. After sunset, I will ask you again."
Li Shui was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. Ying Zheng had something to say to himself, but he didn't want the ministers around him to hear it.
So he nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Xin again and said, "Li Xin's meritorious recommendation will result in a promotion to a higher rank and a thousand acres of land."
Li Xin thanked him happily.
After casually awarding Li Xin a reward, Ying Zheng pulled Fu Yao and turned to leave.
Li Shui quickly said to Ying Zheng: "The sores on the young master's body are no longer serious. However, you still need to pay attention to cleanliness and keep the wounds away from dirt. It is best for me to change the dressing once a day."
Ying Zheng looked down and saw that there seemed to be layers of bandages wrapped inside Fu Yao's clothes.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, "I will take Fu Yao to see Poppy, and he will send it back to you after a while. How about you taking care of him these days?"
Li Shui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's the best."
Ying Zheng said again: "Ji Ming, you stay here and wait for Huaiguzi to send you to help take care of Fu Yao."
Ji Ming looked reluctant, but he didn't have the guts to refuse.
Unexpectedly, Li Shui shook his head and said, "No. Ji Ming is a swindler and full of nonsense. He is a slanderer and framed Zhongliang. He is a sincere villain. I don't know if he received money from the alchemist Lu Lie or because he took a fancy to the general Wang Li." The forces have always been against me and prevented me from treating Young Master Fu Yao. I am worried that if he stays, he will poison the Young Master and put the blame on me."
Wang Li was startled and blurted out: "What does it have to do with me? Why did you take me with you?"
Ji Ming, on the other hand, turned pale and pointed at Li Shui, who couldn't help but tremble: "You, you are spitting blood."
Ying Zhengze glanced at Ji Ming indifferently and said, "There is no need for Ji Ming to stay. Come with me. There are some things that I need to ask clearly. Xiaoyi and Wujiao, please stay here."
After saying this, Ying Zheng took Fu Yao away.
Ji Ming looked miserable and walked away staggeringly.
Although Wang Li was angry, he didn't dare to do anything to Huai Guzi. Seeing that Ying Zheng was gone, he snorted coldly, stamped his feet, and left.
The courtiers who were good friends with Wang Ben all looked embarrassed and found it boring, so they left one after another.
Li Xin laughed, walked up to Chunyu Yue, and said, "Sister-in-law, you are usually dissatisfied with me, Li Xin, so what about today?"
Chunyu Yue sneered and said, "This Huaiguzi is just lucky. Looking at his aggressive look, does he look like a master?"
Li Xin wanted to argue, but Chun Yuyue didn't give him the chance and turned around and left.
Li Xin was very proud and in a good mood today. He pulled Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, I must have a drink today. But just one drink is enough. After drinking, I have to go home quickly. My wife may be anxious because of the wait. Haha." "
Then, Li Xin sniffed and said, "Is there good wine here?"
Before Li Shui could stop him, he picked up the jar of alcohol and drank it for himself.
After finishing the drink, Li Xin gave a thumbs up: "What a strong drink." Then, his body swayed and he fell to the ground drunk.
Li Shui was a little helpless: "This alcohol is distilled from spirits. It is different from the medical alcohol with additives in later generations. In fact, it is more similar to high-concentration liquor. Li Xin, an ancient man who had never drunk liquor, took a sip directly. , Only when you are not drunk can you be a ghost."
Li Xin was drunk, and Li Shui was helpless. He was just a little alchemist and had no right to keep Li Xin in the palace, so he had to ask Xiao Yi and Wu Jiao to find a car to take Li Xin home.
…………
Mrs. Li was sitting in her home, looking pale.
I waited all night at Chunyu Yue's house last night. After returning home in the morning, I sent someone to inquire about the news in the palace. Until sunset.
One day and one night, she didn't eat anything or rest for even a quarter of an hour.
Li Jia traveled back and forth between the palace and Li Xin's mansion.
The bad news kept coming back.
"Madam, madam, there is news from the palace that Chunyu Yue has indeed taken action, retreating in order to advance, to save the general's life. However, the debate in the court is fierce, and the king has not yet agreed."
"Madam, madam, something serious has happened. There is another news from the palace. Wang Ben has seen through Chun Yuyue's plan and must wait until Master Fu Yao wakes up. If he does not wake up, the general will accompany Huai Guzi to ask for execution."
"Madam, madam, something serious has happened. The general bets his life with Wang Li. He has already gone to see the young master's condition. If the young master wakes up, Wang Li will commit suicide. If the young master does not wake up, the general will commit suicide."
This series of news shocked Mrs. Li to the point of fainting at any moment.
Mrs. Li was silent for a while and then said to the panting Li Jia: "Let's investigate again. Go to the palace gate and wait. We must find out the exact information. Find out whether the general is alive or dead."
Li Jia agreed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left in a hurry.
Li Jia went away for a long time and did not come back, but Xin Ji arrived.
The relationship between Xinji and Mrs. Li is not harmonious. We are all wives of meritorious nobles, so we can't help but compete with each other on weekdays, either for appearance or family background.
Mrs. Li guessed that Xinji was here to see the fun, and she suddenly felt extremely irritable.
Who knew that Xin Ji was not just here to watch the fun. After she arrived, she said with a sympathetic face: "I have also heard about the bet between your Li Xin and Wang Li. Just now I saw General Wang Li leaving the palace. Your sister-in-law, Chun Yuyue, also came out of the palace. He came out with a gloomy look on his face. Based on this, it can be inferred that Li Xin is probably in danger."
These words made Mrs. Li look pale.
Xinji was secretly proud and thought to herself: "You are prettier than me, and your husband is in a high position. You always overwhelm me, so what happened today?"
Xinji pretended to comfort Mrs. Li from the side. While comforting her, she admired Mrs. Li's sadness and was at a loss.
After a full hour, Xin Ji finally had enough, and then stood up with satisfaction, planning to say goodbye and go back.
At this time, the sharp voices of two young eunuchs came from outside the gate: "Li family, please come quickly. I am exhausted from carrying your general."
Mrs. Li swayed and almost fainted: "Eunuch? Carrying him?"
Two members of the Li family hurried out, and after a moment, they really came in carrying Li Xin.
Mrs. Li collapsed to the ground and began to cry softly. Xin Ji patted her on the shoulder and whispered: "Life and death are determined by fate, so be sorry and accept the change..."
Wu Jiao was a little puzzled and said, "I'm just drunk. Why do I have to accept my condolences?"
Mrs. Li was stunned, raised her head and asked, "Drunk?"
Xinji blurted out: "Didn't you lose the bet and commit suicide?"
Before Wu Jiao could speak, an angry voice came from outside: "We are sent here by General Wang Li. We offer ten thousand gold and ask the Li Mansion for inspection. General Wang Li's oral message: Thank you, General Li Xin, for ignoring the past grudges." , Wang Li is extremely grateful and gives me a mere ten thousand gold as an apology."
Xin Ji stood there, a little confused: "Wang Li...come to apologize?"
At this time, a group of servants had already entered the courtyard of the Li family carrying boxes one by one.
The servant of the Wang family obviously felt embarrassed, so he bowed and said, "The ten thousand gold coins have been delivered. I will leave now."
Who would have thought that Li Xin drunkenly said: "Check...check it, don't be short of anything."
The Wang family servant's face suddenly turned red. However, he could only endure the humiliation and be patient. Each box was passed on the scale, then he bowed bravely and walked away quickly.
Mrs. Li helped Li Xin and asked, "Did you win the bet? Is the young master awake?"
She was answered by a snore.
Wu Jiao stood beside him and said, "That's natural. Today, General Li made a desperate move to support his friend of life and death. Huai Guzi lived up to everyone's expectations and turned the tide. It's really wonderful. This matter has become a good story in the palace. Everyone I admire General Li very much."
"Wang Li lost Xiang Shang's head, but he didn't dare to commit suicide. He just lived an ignoble existence. He knelt down in front of our General Li and apologized. By the way, the king also promoted General Li to a higher rank and gave him a thousand acres of fertile land. It is estimated that tomorrow, he will There is a will coming.”
Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and the haze of several days was swept away.
She grabbed Li Xin's ears, twisted them, and said, "You are lucky. If you dare to do this next time, I will not let you go easily."
Xin Ji, who was next to her, suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. Mrs. Li is clearly showing off her affection and showing off her husband to her audience.
At this time, Li Jia was sweating profusely and panting, and walked in, shouting at the top of his lungs: "I'm so happy, madam, I'm so happy. The general won the bet, he's proud and proud, and he's been promoted to a higher rank."
Mrs. Li was both curious and amused: "I already know this news. I ordered you to wait at the palace gate. Why didn't you come back until now?"
Li Jia fell to the ground, almost out of breath: "The villain got the news and hurried back. But... But this day, the old slave has run more than fifty times, and it is really... I really can't walk. ”
