“Zhi’er–” Dongfang Mu, who was sitting in the chair, beckoned to Bai Zhi. He was once a powerful general on the battlefield. But at this time, he even struggled to lift his hands. He was short of breath as soon as he opened his mouth and will seem to die at any time.
Bai Zhi walked to Dongfang Mu quickly, stretched out her hand to grab his hand, and said with red eyes: “Grandpa, don’t worry. We have found a way to get rid of the heart-biting gu. You will soon get better.”
Dongfang Mu nodded his head and forced himself to smile: “Okay, grandpa will listen to you, but you have to listen to what grandpa said.”
Bai Zhi hurriedly said: “Grandpa, you say.”
Dongfang Mu took a few breaths and when his breath stabilized, he said: “If something wrong happened to me, don’t tell your mother. Just quietly buried me to the northwest where soldiers train. I don’t want her to be sad. She has suffered enough in this life. I can’t bear to see her suffer more..”
He only has a daughter. He cultivated and take care of this daughter with great pains. But because of him, she married that beast. After more than 10 years of suffering, she finally got out of the sea of suffering, and also found her long-lost daughter, and lived a life with a bright smile.
He didn’t want her to live a sad life again because of his departure.
Bai Zhi shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks: “No, no, grandpa, you will be fine.”
She was very flustered in her heart. Her grandfather was very old now. She hasn’t seen young or middle-aged people survive this catastrophe. So can her grandfather survive?
Dongfang Mu didn’t have the energy to say anything at this time, so he just patted her hand with all his strength: “Good child, remember what grandpa said.”
“Master, you will be fine.” Hu Feng grabbed Dongfang Mu’s hand and looked at his face that seemed to have aged 10 years older overnight. He felt very uncomfortable.
An hour later, Old Yuan came out and said to Song Lang: “Young Master, everything is ready.”
Song Lang raised his hand and motioned for them to start.
Dongfang Mu and the two young men were carried into the house together.
Seeing that Hu Feng was about to follow up, Bai Zhi stopped him: “Hu Feng, you have seen what the medicinal bath is like inside, you can’t help much here. If you want to solve the crisis in the capital, it now all depends on you.”
Hu Feng glanced at Song Lang and then nodded his head: “Alright, I will arrange it. You take good care of the master.”
Bai Zhi said to the Wei uncle and nephew: “You follow His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, and make Baiqing juice. If this turmoil in the capital is solved, not only your crimes will be lower, but you might also make meritorious deeds. ”
Wei Mo naturally wanted this. He was worried that he might have no chance to atone for his sins. So now that the opportunity came, he would naturally not miss it. He immediately pulled Wei Xuan to thank Bai Zhi and Hu Feng.
Hu Feng nodded his head to the Wei uncle and nephew. He left after telling to Zhou Awu to stay.
Bai Zhi stayed by her grandfather’s side. She couldn’t control the confused emperor in the palace, nor the people in the capital whose now living worse than death. Hu Feng was a prince of Chu Country. Now that the emperor has a problem, it was just right for him to handle this matter.
Song Lang entered the room and looked at Bai Zhi: “Everything is just fine at the moment, don’t worry too much. Although Master Dongfang is old, he has a good foundation. He will be fine.”
Bai Zhi didn’t say a word and simply nodded her head. At this moment, she didn’t dare to be optimistic, nor want to be pessimistic. She was very anxious.
One hour seems so long at this time.
