incense as a medium

Chapter 59 Critically ill
Qi Ding suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with a smile: "What do you mean by this, master? Once you enter our house, you are our family members. The third room has always been at odds with us, how could the concubine let them humiliate us?" The people in the room?"

Qi Zhen snorted coldly, and wanted to say something more, but his vision went dark, and he fell down on the bed.

"Master!" Qi Ding panicked and shouted at the top of his voice, "Come quickly! Please doctor! Hurry up!"

Just as Liu Bailu went back to her room to take off her make-up, she heard Qi Ding's cry. She frowned slightly, put on her untied belt and walked out the door quickly.

Qi Pei'an staggered out of the main room, and Liu Bailu stopped him: "What's wrong?"

Qi Pei'an burst into tears, and cried, "Father has passed out, I'm going to ask the doctor!"

Liu Bailu nodded, let her go, rubbed his eyes red at the door, and then quickly stepped into the door.

In the bedroom, Qi Zhen lay motionless on the bed, and Qi Ding could not stop shaking Qi Zhen's body, crying loudly.

Liu Bailu swayed slightly. The reason why he got married so early and got rid of the dowry was that Qi Zhen's health was getting weaker. He came in at this time just to be happy. If Qi Zhen died at this moment...

Liu Bailu didn't dare to think too much, so she rushed forward and pulled Qi Ding up, saying: "Mother, put father in place first, my sister has already gone to ask for a doctor, mother, don't worry."

"Go away! He's not your father! Of course you're not in a hurry!" Qi Ding pushed Liu Bailu away like crazy.

Liu Bailu staggered two steps and stopped under the support of Shuang Jiang, just looked at Qi Ding and whispered softly in Qi Zhen's ear: "Sir, my concubine helped you up and turned over, it's uncomfortable."

Qi Dingshi's words were gentle, and her movements were even more gentle. Even though her hands were bruised due to force, the expression on her face was still so gentle and tender.

Liu Bailu was stunned, her father and mother could be regarded as loving, but people before and after always treat each other with respect, this is really the first time she has seen Qi Ding's such crazy appearance.

Qi Zheng and Qi Moshi were startled by the movement inside the Qi family just as they left the gate. The two rushed in and saw Qi Ding struggling to help Qi Zhen alone, while Liu Bailu, the new daughter-in-law, was standing beside the bed Stand by.

The two frowned in unison, Qi Zheng stepped forward to stop Qi Dingshi, and said in a low voice: "Ninth siblings, let me come."

Qi Ding looked up at Qi Zheng, let go of Qi Zhen after he caught Qi Zhen, and stepped aside.

Mrs. Qi Mo stepped forward to hold her hand, looked at Liu Bailu and reprimanded: "Even if it is a new daughter-in-law, if you see your father-in-law like this, you should help her! Are you looking at yourself as a boudoir lady or a wealthy lady?"

Unconvinced, Shuangjiang opened her mouth to refute, but Liu Bailu lowered her head to hold Shuangjiang, stepped forward half a step and knelt, and said, "Auntie taught me, Bailu remembers."

Mrs. Yuan also turned around and came back to follow up the bedroom. Hearing this, she stared at Liu Bailu and sneered, "This new daughter-in-law was so happy that her father-in-law fell ill the first day she entered the house. I don't know if it's because of being happy or urging her to die!"

Liu Bailu raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at Mrs. Yuan. The cold eyes made Mrs. Yuan smart. When she looked carefully, she saw Liu Bailu's gentle and worried face, as if she was dazzled just now.

The doctor came soon, and Liu Bailu and Qi Moshi hid behind the screen and listened carefully.

"Hey... get ready for the funeral." The doctor felt the pulse very quickly, but within three breaths he stopped and shook his head and sighed.

Liu Bailu swayed, and Qi Moshi glanced at her and shook his head slightly.

Qi Ding couldn't believe it, and rushed forward to grab the doctor's arm and asked, "Didn't you say that there are still a few months left? Didn't you say that it will be until the end of the year?"

The doctor didn't care about Qi Ding's hysteria, and only said in a soft voice: "My condolences to Mrs. Qi. If you have ginseng at home, please use it first, and you may hang your life for a few days. If you are lucky, you will be rescued." , It can be delayed for a while, but you must not get angry anymore."

The doctor gently broke Qi Dingshi's hand and walked out. Qi Dingshi lost his support and fell to his knees with a plop.

Liu Bailu quickly stepped out from behind the screen, bent down to help Qi Ding, but Qi Ding was only sobbing, how could he know how to cooperate?It took a lot of effort for Liu Bailu and Shuang Jiang to help him up and sit on the stool.

Liu Bailu came over with tea, and said softly: "Mother, please don't be sad. The doctor said that if father has ginseng, he can delay it for a while. I don't know if there is ginseng at home? Besides, my husband went to General Kang and didn't come back. We We should also find a way to inform Xianggong."

"Where is the ginseng in the house! The house has no money now! It's all gone to marry you!" Qi Ding now saw clearly who was supporting her, and when Liu Bailu opened her mouth, she howled.

Liu Bailu frowned slightly, yesterday she was covered with a veil, she didn't know what was going on outside, but it was extremely lively, she turned her head to look at Shuangjiang, and said in a low voice, "Go get the silver."

"Yes." Shuang Jiang hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

Mrs. Yuan stared at Liu Bailu with a sinister smile, and said, "Hasn't the Liu family always been rich and powerful? What's the matter? The daughter didn't marry a ginseng when she got married? I remember that when Mrs. Ninth sent someone to deliver a letter home, she said that Miss Liu's dowry A full 66 lifts!"

Mrs. Yuan's words made Qi Ding's breathing slightly stagnant.The Qi family clan can be considered a big family, but there is only Qi Zhen who is an official in the clan, and the others are all local rich men. When the daughter of the Qi family marries a daughter-in-law, the dowry is less than sixty levies at most.

After the Qi family fell into disrepair, although there was nothing in the clan, there were quite a few gossips. When the Liu family's dowry list was sent over, Qi Ding immediately passed the dowry list back to the clan, so as to grow up for himself. After turning around, he didn't expect that Liu's family would get into trouble again. The house was ransacked and the dowry was gone.

Liu Bailu raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her long eyelashes covered a trace of coldness in her eyes. She straightened the tassels around her waist and said slowly, "Mother Yuan's words are wrong. The Liu family was considered rich and powerful back then, but later Isn’t the house ransacked? This is the order of the Holy Majesty. Since the house was ransacked, the so-called 66 dowry will naturally be confiscated by the Holy Majesty and returned to the treasury. Mama Yuan said that, it is possible that there is something wrong with the Holy Majesty ? Do you think the Holy Majesty did something wrong?"

It is an indisputable fact that the Liu family was implicated by the prince, but no one dared to say that the emperor was half wrong. In a word, it was the fault of the Liu family.

How could Mrs. Yuan have thought that the mere provocative words would involve the emperor?She was so frightened that she took a few steps back, leaned against the table behind her, and then hurriedly shook her head: "I didn't mean that. I didn't mean that."

Liu Bailu nodded with a slight smile, and said, "It's good that Mama Yuan doesn't mean that, you know, if this matter is not handled properly, the whole family will be wiped out."

A mere trifle was directly related to the family raiding and extermination of the family. Even though Qi Zheng was well-informed, he was frightened by Liu Bailu's words. Don't get out!"

Grandma Yuan ran out in a panic as if she had received an amnesty, and almost collided with Shuang Jiang who came in.

"Miss, all our money is here." Shuang Jiang held up a small box.

Liu Bailu took it, weighed it slightly and knew that it contained about 50 taels of silver, which happened to be the dowry given to her by her elder brother, but Shuang Jiang did not take the silver from her mother's private house.Liu Bailu held the box in front of Qi Ding and said, "Mother, this is 50 taels of silver. You can use it first. If it is not enough, my daughter-in-law still has some jewelry that can be sold."

Qi Ding grabbed the box, hurriedly opened it and took out about 30 taels of silver from it, and said to Qi Zheng, "Brother, I will borrow it from your person."

"Okay. Brother and sister, please tell me." Qi Zheng did not refuse, and directly agreed.Jiufang's family didn't even have a servant, the only one was a girl brought by Liu Bailu, what use could such a little girl be?

Qi Ding wiped his tears and said: "One of them went to buy ginseng, and the other went to Yongding Army to call Pei Yun back."

"Egret..."

A very faint cry came from the bed, Qi Ding's eyes lit up, he put the money into Qi Zheng's hand without hesitation, and rushed to the bed: "Master..."

Qi Zhen struggled to open a gap, closed his eyes after seeing that it was not Liu Bailu, and said with all his strength, "Egret."

At this time, I still miss that bitch's daughter!

Qi Ding secretly hated, but could only turn around and wave to Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu hurried forward, but Qi Dingshi stood in front of the bed, so she could only stand at the end of the bed, looking into Qi Zhenxuan's eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, "Father."

The genuine cry from the heart made him feel in a trance that this was his and Su's child. Qi Zhen closed his eyes and smiled. He waved to Qi Ding. Qi Zhen didn't have the strength to quarrel with her at this time, and opened his eyes again, and said to Liu Bailu, "Go to Luhuang County and ask Pei Yun to come back."

"Yes, daughter-in-law, I'll ask someone to go." Liu Bailu touched the tears that fell down at an unknown time, and nodded repeatedly.

Qi Zhen shook his head lightly. If Liu Bailu hadn't looked carefully at the slight movement, he would not have noticed it. He pointed at Liu Bailu with a finger and said, "Go, I know, you can ride a horse. "

Qi Zhen finished the sentence almost word for word, then closed his eyes and gasped for breath.

Liu Bailu nodded again and again, don't think about the fact that she can ride a horse, no one knows more than a slap in the face, how did Qi Zhen know, she turned around and ran outside, Qi Zheng stopped her and said, "Ride my horse. "

"Thank you, Uncle." Liu Bailu bowed his head and saluted, then hurried to the new house, rummaging through the boxes to find clothes.

When she came to Xiongtang County, she was less than 13 years old. At that time, she had not yet grown up, and she could not wear the clothes she brought from Beijing.

When the imperial censor came to raid the house in August, he only confiscated the valuables of the Liu family. The clothes in Liu Bailu's own room were not moved except that they were messed up. Even so, she couldn't find a horse riding suit either. Come on, at this moment she just remembered that she had never ridden a horse since she came to Xiongtang County, so she couldn't wear her previous riding clothes, so she naturally put them away.

Time waited for no one, she simply found a lotus color horse face skirt and a plain jacket and quickly changed into it. After a little thought, she took out a fragrant pill from the dark compartment of the desk and stuffed it into her waist. With the horsewhip on the bottom of the box, he rushed out the door.
