C61 Head to the Military Camp

A month later, Lau Fenglan and Lau Fenglan's illness did not improve. Remembering the familial ties, Mu Po brought her back to the manor for a few days. He did not invite any guests and sent her out.

When Mu Ruqing saw her, her entire body became haggard and she was unwilling to speak. She went to the manor to shut herself up all day and did not see anyone.

Another month passed. Mu Quan stopped writing a letter and the few of them sat in the hall, waiting to read the contents of the letter.

Mu Po looked at the letter and his eyes became more and more serious. His expression became worse and worse. After reading the letter, his footsteps became heavy, and he couldn't even lift the letter.

"What's wrong? prime minister." Mrs Miao was thinking about why she did not have Mu Jun's family books. In the past, she would deliver them both at the same time. However, she saw Mu Po's appearance and helped him to the chair. After she took the letter and read it, she actually felt her heartbeat slow down by half a beat. As he stroked his head, his vision suddenly turned black. The letter fell to the ground. He held the chair tightly with his hand and barely managed to stand up.

"Mother! Mother!" Mu Ruqing hurriedly went forward to support him.

"Madam!" Everyone was in chaos and hurriedly ran up.

Mistress Ling picked up the letter and saw the words on the paper, To Father, Mother, and Aunt. Recently, the army had encountered a rebel. They raided the military camp and burned down three military camps. Seven soldiers were killed or injured. Last night, we committed another crime. My big brother and I received the order to meet the enemy. Although we captured all the bandits, my big brother was injured by the head of the bandits. I don't know what kind of poison was used, but my big brother didn't wake up for the whole night. His lips were blue, and the military doctor could not do anything about it. He wrote a letter at home that night and sent it over on a fast horse overnight. He told his father and mother. Mu Quan wrote a letter.

A strange look flashed across Mistress Ling's eyes. She put away the letter and squeezed into the crowd to comfort Mrs Miao.

She could only hide this matter from the old lady. If she knew, she would definitely be furious and have a heart attack.

Mrs Miao was sick. Her complexion was not good and her face was pale. She could not get out of bed for a while.

The next day, Mu Ruqing was by Mrs Miao's side accompanying her. She tucked her under the blanket and fed her medicine. Her face was full of worry, "Mother, you should rest well. I want to go and see Big Brother!"

"No! Cough cough, your body is not good. How can you go to that kind of place!" Mrs Miao was anxious and spat out the medicine that she had just drank.

"Mother, it takes two days to get from my brother's military camp to here. The letter was delivered today. That brother was injured two days ago. I don't know what he looks like today! And I'm the only one in the mansion who can go. Mother, I really can't relax." Although Mu Ruqing knew that Mrs Miao would be anxious, she had to say this matter.

"No. Send a trusted aide!" Mrs Miao had a determined look.

" Mother, if it was someone else, would you believe it? Daoist Priest Yuan is proficient in medicine. I can ask him to come with me."

Mrs Miao still shook her head. "Jun'er has already made my heart feel like it was being stabbed by a knife. If something happens to you again, how am I going to live?"

"Mother." Mu Ruqing knew that it was useless to say anything, so she did not mention it anymore. She only wanted to say it to Mu Po.

Mu Po returned with an even worse expression. He sat in the study with a frown on his face. One of his hands was on the table and the other was massaging his eyebrows.

"Father." Mu Ruqing called out and entered with tea.

"Oh, it's Qing. What's wrong?" Mu Po put down his hand and opened his eyes to blink. His eyes were completely bloodshot, and he was short of breath when he spoke.

Mu Ruqing put down the tea and knelt down. "Father, my daughter has a request."

"What is this? Quickly get up." Mu Po got up from his chair and walked over to help her.

"No, if my father doesn't agree, then my daughter won't be able to get up." Mu Ruqing lowered her head and her attitude was firm.

"What is it?"

"My daughter really can't let go of big brother and request to go to where big brother is and personally visit him."

"No, that's the military camp, how can you go there?"

"Father, my brother is seriously injured and can't run around! There is a village three miles away from the military camp. I wrote a letter last night. I asked brother Second Big Brother to send big brother to the village, and the military doctor could not do anything about his injuries. It must be something unusual. Daoist Priest Yuan is proficient in medical skills and metaphysics. I have already asked him to come with me. I can't let my grandmother know about this, so I have to go."

"No, then let Daoist Priest Yuan go. What are you going to do?"

"Father, why are you so muddle-headed? Daoist Priest Yuan has always been an outsider. He's far from what my daughter saw with her own eyes."

Mu Po hesitated. Today's military report had also been delivered. However, the letter said that someone had been injured or killed, and mentioned Mu Jun a little. However, it was not to say much. Mu Jun must have been seriously injured. The military did not elaborate, so the Imperial Court would not send anyone.

"Father, you can't hesitate!" Mu Ruqing cried and looked at Mu Po with tears in her eyes.

After thinking about it, Mu Po was worried and worried. He helped Mu Ruqing up and said, "The environment in the military camp is not like in the capital. Have you thought about it?"

"Of course!" Mu Ruqing's eyes emitted a heroic spirit and her gaze was calm.

"Alright, prepare more things. Bring more of the medicine that the Imperial Physician has prepared by your side. When are you going?"

"Now. The things had already been packed. But father, don't tell mother that I'm going. Just tell her that my daughter has returned to Mo'an Temple to ask for the autograph. "

"Of course. Don't worry, take care of yourself!" Mu Po held Mu Ruqing's hand with a heartache and said earnestly.

"Yes." Mu Ruqing bowed, "Father, that daughter has left."

"Yes." Mu Po sent Mu Ruqing to the door. The carriage was ready. Yuan Zhen was waiting outside on his horse.

Mu Po bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Daoist."

Yuan Zhen returned the gesture. "prime minister, no need to be so polite. I will do my best."

"After a few moments, Yu Longchen rode over from afar. Mu Po and Yuan Zhen were shocked and were ready to bow.

Yu Longchen stopped them. "No need for formalities. Mu Jun could be considered as this king's disciple. If Miss Mu wants to go, then follow this king. This king can also protect the young lady! "

"This official thanks Your Highness here." Mu Po was naturally happy in his heart. This way, he could be at ease with Mu Ruqing's safety. He sent another twenty constabularies to go with her.

"Lord Mu's words are too much. It's just that this constabularies only need five or six powerful constabularies to go together on horseback. Otherwise, they will become a burden." Yu Longchen said in a serious tone and looked at every soldier.

"Father, what the prince said is right." Mu Ruqing said from the side.

"These few will do!" Yu Longchen called out to five of the soldiers.

"Then we will listen to His Royal Highness. Men, bring the horses!" Mu Po ordered the butler, but he was still worried.

After a while, they were all dressed up. Mu Ruqing knelt to Mu Po and said with red eyes, "Father, don't worry. My daughter will bring brother back safely!"

Mu Po nodded and waved his hand. He suddenly felt that he was much older. Mu Ruqing looked back three times with each step until she got on the carriage.

"Master Mu, take care!" Yu Longchen and Yuan Zhen bowed at the same time and ordered, "Let's go!"

Looking at the distant carriage, Mu Po's back hunched a little. With his hands behind his back, he limped back to the mansion.

Outside the city gate. Mu Ruqing was still worried, "When will we arrive?"

"Early in the morning the next day." Yu Longchen walked outside Mu Ruqing's window.

"What if we travel overnight?" Mu Ruqing thought for a while and asked again.

"Tomorrow afternoon." Yu Longchen stared at the window of the carriage. His eyes were filled with love and he spoke softly, "Qing, can you bear it?"

"Yes." Mu Ruqing answered with certainty and did not speak.

"Your Royal Highness, how did you know Fourth Miss was going today?" Yuan Zhen and Yu Longchen said that they were friends, but they were not. Their relationship was also complicated.

"It's just that I didn't think that a follower like you would also go!"

"Follower? It was clearly... Hmph." She begged me! Yuan Zhen paused for a moment and did not say the rest of the words. He could not win against Yu Longchen in terms of bickering. He could only sulk and ride his horse to the front of the group.
