The queen loves me alone

Chapter 38

The Grand Duke hid in the corner, looking a little cowardly, wanted to go forward but didn't dare, but still insisted: "Pei'e, just listen to me this time, I used to listen to you inside and out, this time You must listen to me next time, I promise, you will definitely get rich if you go to the south, and our life will still be the same as now. We won’t be poor.”

"Damn! You've been paid a thousand dollars, I tell you clearly, no way, this is my family's ancestral shop, and it cannot be destroyed by your hands!"

Jing Wei heard that these two people smashed the cans and smashed the shop, and she was a little worried about whether she could still buy medicine.

So I went straight into the lobby.

When the proprietress saw a man in black with a sword in his hand, she was stunned for a moment, and stopped cursing immediately.In their small, remote place, few strangers come here, let alone those with swords in their hands.

Jing Wei said: "Boss, buy medicine."

The proprietress quickly walked to the front desk, smiled and said, "What medicine does this guest officer want to buy?"

Jing Wei said: "I feel dizzy and nauseated after riding in the carriage. It's best to cure it all at once."

The proprietress hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, wait a moment, sir, I will get you the medicine."

She glared at her husband.The man walked back swiftly, pulled out the drawer in front of the medicine cabinet, grabbed the medicine and weighed it.

The proprietress took the oiled paper and wrapped the medicine for him and said: "The guest officer looks like a foreigner, and the accent sounds like he came from a big place like Kyoto."

Jing Wei hummed casually.The proprietress said again: "My pharmacy has inherited it from our ancestors. You can use it with confidence. Just one pair will work. You won't get dizzy in the future."

Jing Wei raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

"Yes yes yes, it works, no matter it works, you just come to me!" The woman promised.

"Okay, thank you shopkeeper."

Jing Wei went out with two packs of medicine, as soon as she stepped out, the proprietress seemed to change her face instantly, and her shrill voice roared to the street: "But you go back to Miami, I won't accept you! "

Jing Wei felt a toothache when he heard it, and hurriedly walked a few steps away.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dusk.Mu Jin growled hungry.Zhu Yan woke up when she heard the noise, opened her eyes and blinked to look at the person: "Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"

Mu Jin was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, please sleep more."

Zhu Yan smiled and pinched Mimi's face: "Enough sleep, get up, eat."

Mu Jin was pulled up from the bed, washed up briefly and went downstairs.

Jing Wei was sitting downstairs chatting with a few guests. Seeing the two of them coming down, she quickly got up and said, "Have you rested, my lord and madam?"

Mu Jin: "..." The name Jing Wei is really unique.

However, Zhu Yan was in a good mood, dragged her downstairs, and asked, "Where's the medicine I asked you to buy?"

Jing Wei hurriedly said: "I bought it, let the store warm it in the kitchen. I saw that the adults and madam had fallen asleep, so I didn't call you."

Mu Jin and Zhu Yan sat at a table.

Jing Wei asked the young couple to bring the medicine.

Heh... The bowl was dark and exuded an unpleasant smell. Mu Jin glanced at it and felt retched again.

Zhu Yan said to Xiao Er: "Shopkeeper, bring a stack of candied plums here."

A pile of plums was served.

Jing Wei stood aside and said, "Madam, drink it. It's not bitter. The owner of the pharmacy said that this medicine is designed to cure motion sickness while driving. After you drink it, you won't feel dizzy when you drive."

Mu Jin had a bitter face, with a tangled expression.This decoction will give out bile at first glance.

Zhu Yan coaxed from the side: "Miss, drink it in one gulp, and then eat a big mouthful of sweet and sour plums, it must not be bitter." Her tone was a little naive, as if she was coaxing a child.Mu Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had no choice but to pick up the bowl, with a sense of sadness and joy in his heart, he raised his head and drank it all.

A strong bitterness made her goosebumps rise, and she quickly grabbed the plums on the plate and ate them.This is a little better.

After taking the medicine and eating again, after eating, Mu Jin finally felt that he was alive again.Just a little supportive.So I went out for a walk with Zhu Yan.

Jing Wei is in the backyard of the inn.After feeding the horses, he came back and saw Mu Jin and Zhu Yan standing in the backyard, with no one around, so he said, "Princess, are you alright?"

Mu Jin nodded and said, "Your medicine is quite effective, you don't feel dizzy or blurry."

Jing Wei put the fodder on a low stone pier at the side, and said, "I ran into a rare thing when I went out to buy medicine today."

Zhu Yan said, "Oh, what's so rare?"

Jing Wei only told others about what happened at the pharmacy during the day.

Mu Jin said in his heart: "The economy in the ancient south was indeed not very developed, and I'm afraid it was the same in this continent. The male shopkeeper of the pharmacy really can't think about it."

Jing Wei laughed and said, "I was afraid that the two of them would quarrel and destroy all the medicine, so I hurried in and bought the medicine back."

Mu Jin stopped throwing up and was in a good mood, so she wanted to hurry, but seeing that it was getting dark.Zhu Yan glanced at him and said, "I know what you're thinking, you can't do it now, you're just recovering, so you can't make trouble anymore. If you want to leave, you have to go tomorrow."

Mu Jin let out a long cry and had no choice but to give up.

Have a good night's sleep.The next day the group continued on their way.

Originally, Yupi Town was not far from Ami County, and the next journey was very smooth, and Mu Jin really didn't feel sick all the way.After another two days, Ami County arrived.

On the high platform of the city wall, several guards were patrolling.There are people lining up to enter the city at the gate of the city.

Mu Jin briskly jumped out of the carriage, and went back to help Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan got off the carriage, looked up, with a confused expression on her face, and murmured, "This place... I seem to have been here before."

Mu Jin asked strangely: "Didn't Your Majesty grow up in the palace?"

Zhu Yan shook her head: "Forget it, I can't remember."

Once in the city, everything will be much easier. Shangguan lives in the home of the local magistrate in Ami County.

The county magistrate's house and the yamen are integrated, with the yamen in the front and the residence in the back.A family of old and young live together.

Mu Jin and his party were led to the wing by Liu Xianren, who was sweating and fearful all the way.

Shangguan was half lying on the bed, his face was pale and his lips were bloodless, a white cloth was wrapped around his shoulders.He was still reading a scroll in his hand.

When Mu Jin saw him for the first time, tears almost fell down.How long has it been, why did it go on like this?It was fine when I went there.

"Your Majesty, Princess, Commander Jing? Why are you all here? What about the capital?" When Shangguan Chengzheng saw the person coming, he immediately got up from the bed and bowed heavily. "Join Your Majesty."

Seeing that the man's arm was seriously injured, Zhu Yan said: "The servant is not polite, and don't move any more to hurt your muscles and bones. Go and lie down. There is a prime minister in the capital, so don't worry."

Shangguan was supported and sat back on the bed.

Jing Wei smiled and said: "My lord, it's only been less than half a month, and my lord has looked at Qing Jian a lot. Isn't the food here delicious?"

Shangguan smiled, and she was the only one, and she could still joke at this time.

Mu Jin said, "How did your lord get hurt so badly?"

Just as Shangguan was about to speak, he probably touched the wound and coughed a few times.

County Magistrate Liu on the side hurriedly said: "Sir Shangguan, you don't need to say too much, let me speak."

It turned out that as soon as Shangguan Chengzheng came here, he surveyed and surveyed various places, and finally chose the place where the Yellow River diverted to Mount Ami. Everything went well, but when they dug to the foot of Kuaishan, a group of villagers copied Let the guy come out and say nothing to divert him.It is their belief that there is a miracle there.If it is diverted, the miracle will be destroyed.

The Shangguan and the local villagers have repeatedly negotiated and failed. As the local parent officer, County Magistrate Liu has to ensure the safety of the Shangguan and prevent the people from being injured.

Mu Jin said: "Then can't we change the way?"

Magistrate Liu said: "After the incident happened, Lord Shangguan visited many places. However, this place is the only one with the best terrain. Some of the surrounding areas are high, some are too steep and difficult to excavate, and some occupy a lot of farmland. .”

The Shangguan lay on the bed and coughed a few times, and said: "Princess, Your Majesty, Mount Ami is indeed the best solution, but the local people believe in the mother and child statue, and they will not let it be destroyed no matter what. I am afraid it will be difficult. gone."

Mu Jin said: "What about your injuries?"

County Magistrate Liu said cautiously: "It was when Mr. Shangguan was trying to communicate with the villagers. A few villagers got emotional and kicked a stone down from the mountainside, just hitting Mr. Shangguan."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly knelt down again, "Your Majesty, the princess made atonement. It was because the minister didn't protect him enough that Shangguan was injured."

Zhu Yan felt that the magistrate's speech was appropriate, and said, "Magistrate Liu, get up, I can't blame you for this matter."

Shangguan said: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements you sent have arrived, and they are now placed at the foot of the mountain, and they have set up camp."

Zhu Yan didn't think about what to do with this group of people. Violent suppression will only arouse public anger, and stationing troops there can only guarantee that there will be no rape, but it will not solve the problem.

Zhu Yan said: "I'll go to Mount Ami to have a look. What kind of a mother and child statue is it? I can't push it like this."

Ami Hills.

Ami Mountain is not a few miles away from the county seat, and a group of people drove there.It's only half an hour away.

Surrounded by mountains, the trees are verdant, and there are large groups of birds flying in pairs in the valley.Indeed, it is a geomantic treasure.

After a few people got out of the car, they were led by County Magistrate Liu and walked for a while, and they saw a huge statue standing in front of them.It is three or four feet high.Carved from blue-gray stone, it is not very expensive.

The statue depicts a pregnant woman.The bulge between the lower abdomen is very prominent.His hands gently caressed his abdomen, his eyes were full of kindness.

It is indeed beautifully carved.Mu Jin thought.

Jing Wei covered the sun with his hands and looked up for a while, then said to Mu Jin beside him: "Princess...do you think...this stone statue looks familiar?"

She watched it for a long time, no matter how she looked at it, she felt like...

Before Mu Jin realized what it meant, Zhu Yan beside him said, "Indeed, it looks familiar."

Mu Jin said "Huh?"

Zhu Yan withdrew her gaze, with an ethereal tenderness in her gaze, and said softly, "Because the sculptures on it are my mother and me."
