Chapter 444 Nightmare
The sky was dark and filled with miasma.
Shang Ruyi walked in this smoky place at a loss. He felt that his surroundings were confused, he couldn't see the edge, and there was no road under his feet. Only the tip of his nose smelled the faint scent that came from nowhere. fragrance.
It's like sandalwood and medicinal fragrance.
She raised her head and was about to find a way out, but suddenly she found a vague figure appearing in front of her.
It was a tall man, standing in the smoke. His white monk's robe was soaked in the mist, and it seemed as if he was about to turn into clouds and drift away with him.
He is——
Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank, but before he had time to think about it, suddenly, a shadow appeared from behind him.
It seemed to be a person. It seemed very slender and suddenly became huge. The shadow cast almost completely enveloped Shang Ruyi. As soon as he saw the shadow, Shang Ruyi immediately felt a tear in his body. It hurt like an invisible hand, trying to tear away my soul from my body.
It hurts...
it hurts!
"Ah!"
She let out a low cry of pain, raised her head, and immediately met a pair of eyes that could only show worry because they were covered with a veil.
“Young madam, what’s wrong with you?”
“…?!”
Shang Ruyi was panting and sweating profusely. After panting for a long time, he managed to regain his consciousness from the chaotic dream just now and recognized that the person in front of him was Wuxue.
She was kneeling in front of her, looking at her carefully: "Have you had a nightmare?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi only felt his heartbeat racing. Lei, the pain was so painful that she had no strength to speak.
Nightmare......
So real, yet such a terrible nightmare.
Looking back, she recalled that she was sitting by the bed guarding Yu Wenye. She had just fed him half a bowl of medicine, but for some reason, he fell asleep in the blink of an eye. He was still dreaming, and Yu Wenye was lying on the bed, his face still gray, and his cheeks still had a strange red color caused by a low-grade fever.
It has been three days.
His low-grade fever did not go away for three days, he vomited again, and his breath even started to smell strange.
No matter how she and He Wenzhu diagnosed and treated him, burned moxa, gave him medicine, and even took the risk of bleeding him once, but there was no right medicine, all these just delayed his condition; starting from the next day He stopped waking up and fell into a coma. Because of this, she stayed by the bed and barely slept for three days.
Why would he fall asleep like this and fall into such a nightmare again?
Wuxue asked in a low voice: "Young madam, you haven't slept for the past three days. Your body can't bear it. Why don't you go and get some sleep?"
Shang Ruyi shook his head: " No, I just slept."
Actually, she just took a nap.
Wuxue had no choice but to persuade her, so she could only whisper again: "Well, the kitchen has sent food, would you like some, Madam?"
Shang Ruyi turned around again and glanced outside. There were indeed some dishes on the table.
But the terrible dream just now left her with no appetite at all.
Shang Ruyi sighed, stood up slowly, stretched his arms and legs that were numb from his own pressure, and then said, "I don't want to eat, you can eat first."
He Wenzhu walked over from the side. After three days of hard work, he was much older and more haggard than when he came here.
He said: "Well, young lady, please go out and get some fresh air."
"..."
"After dinner, the old man will burn moxa again."
This is what he will do every evening in the past three days. The main thing is For the sake of the few people in the room who were taking care of the general, the two of them were okay. If the general's wife also fell ill, the Duke would probably kill them. Shang Ruyi did feel that he needed to stretch himself.
He looked back at Yu Wenye on the bed, and then said: "I'm going out for a walk. You guys will guard him. If anything happens, call me immediately."
"Yes."
So, Shang Ruyi dusted off his clothes, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as she walked out of the room filled with the smell of medicine, the fresh air outside cheered her up. Although she had hardly slept for three days, she was already very tired. The dazzling golden and red light also made her unable to open her eyes.
Shang Ruyi sighed softly.
She lowered her head and started walking along the perimeter of the yard.
She had just walked two steps when she heard a burst of footsteps outside, which immediately made her relaxed spirit tense again.
This courtyard, because of Yu Wenye's illness and her order not to let others in to avoid being "disturbed", no one else was here. It was so quiet that you couldn't even hear the wind. Suddenly The sound of footsteps immediately made her alert. When she walked to the door of the courtyard, she saw a somewhat familiar, thin figure walking in front of her.
As soon as he saw her, he immediately bowed his hands and saluted.
“Young Madam.”
It’s Nie Chong.
He was still the same as before, his face was as golden as paper, he was thin, and he looked even more depressed than he had been without sleep for three days. Although nothing had happened in the past few days, the news that the general was ill had already shocked the army. Many people were uneasy. They also needed to appease everyone's emotions and abide by the sixteen-word military order that Yu Wenye had spoken before he passed out. They were very busy.
No wonder, he looks so tired.
Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "You are here to ask the good boy to eat, right."
Nie Chong responded, but then said: "Yes, but there is another one below. I want to report something to the young lady.”
“Oh?”
Nie Chong said: "Young madam, there is a horse and horse entering the city during the day. It seems that they are from Daxing City."
"Daxing City?"
Shang Ruyi Upon hearing this, I immediately became energetic: "Who sent this person?"
"I don't know. It seems like it's not the Duke of the country or someone appointed by the court. It seems like someone sent it privately."
" Privately?”
"And after the man entered the city, he went to meet Lord Song Yu and General Ma Xu."
"What?"
Shang Ruyi frowned upon hearing the names of these two people. He immediately twisted it up, thought about it, and immediately asked He said: "Then, did Yin Changyue and Dai Junliang go to ask questions?"
Nie Chong shook his head: "They met in private, and the two adults didn't know about it."
After hearing this, At this, Shang Ruyi sighed again.
Nie Chong added: "However, I seem to have heard some of their conversations from a distance below -"
Shang Ruyi's eyes lit up.
Yes, she almost forgot, this Nie Chong is a smooth man! When he was so far away before, he could hear the whispers of good boys and the sound of horse hooves from soldiers far away.
She hurriedly said: "What did they say?!"
Nie Chong said softly: "Because their camp is far away from our camp, and there is a school field in between. There were soldiers practicing again, but I couldn’t hear them very clearly.”
"..."
"I only vaguely heard - eldest son, three words."
