Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 366 What Would I Do Without You

"Why have you been away for so long and haven't come back?"

After coaxing the two children to sleep, Xie Jiu waited for a while, but Wei Jia did not come back. Worried about his health, he asked Li'er to find Da Hu, and went to the toilet with Da Hu, and called Wei Jia a few times. Xie Jiu was taken aback, thinking that Wei Chi was losing his temper, and said to Du Hu one by one: "Da Hu, you go in and have a look, the master has had diarrhea for most of the night, and I don't know if he should faint inside because of exhaustion. "

"Well, I'll go in and have a look, Madam, wait a moment."

Dahu went into the latrine to see that there was no one there, and he came out with a strange face and said to Xie Jiu: "Ma'am, the master is not in there, has he gone back, and the lady has not met?"

Xie Jiu frowned, his heart sank, and he said: "He didn't go back, don't you know the master's temper? It's the middle of the night, he's not feeling well, I'm really worried, you go find some The guards are here, let's help find it together."

"Okay, then I'll go to the guards and brothers to help find it together."

Du Hu hurried away, looking for someone to come and find Wei Chi together.In the middle of the night, how can a living person be lost in the toilet?Thinking of Wei Jia's position with His Majesty Li Er, the guards were also tense. If something happened to Wei Jia, those on duty would really be unable to eat and walk away.So when Duhu said that Wei Chi was missing, he quickly pulled out his staff to help find him.

Xie Jiu knows Wei Jia's character. Although he is jovial and seems very unprincipled, he is not a person who can't tell the good from the bad. Thinking of someone's tired and lazy appearance, if he is not feeling well, he would have crawled back to bed I can't get up anymore, I am definitely a person who will never let go of the opportunity to be lazy.Thinking of this, an ominous feeling faintly rose in his sinking heart, dizziness struck, and Xie Jiu couldn't help shaking his body.

"Wait first! Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe Wei Jia just went out for a walk? With so many guards guarding him, he will be fine. Xie Jiu, you have to calm down. You are the mother of two children. Take a deep breath, take a deep breath."

Xie Jiu murmured to do some psychological training for herself, she calmed down, her face was cold, seemingly calm, but her hands trembled a little, and she walked towards the toilet step by step, even with a slight cleanliness by nature, she even forgot to cover her mouth and nose. I opened my eyes wide, and I poked my head in to take a look—it was empty.

The dizziness hit again, and the heartbeat was as loud as thunder, as if it was about to jump out of the heart, forcibly suppressing tears from streaming down, Xie Jiu murmured: "Wei Jia, where have you been? You are not feeling well and running around , I will give you an over-the-shoulder throw when you come back to make your memory long! Yes, it must be like this, it must be somewhere for a walk, I will look for it too."

As soon as Xie Jiu rushed out, she was grabbed by Mrs. Liu who followed. Behind Mrs. Liu, Zhaodi and Li'er followed with tears in her eyes. After all, Mrs. Liu was older and had a lot of experience. Judging by her expression, although she was a little Pale, but still able to hold Xie Jiu firmly, he said: "Madam, the young master and young lady are still waiting for you to take care of them. Without you, neither the young master nor young lady can coax them down. Think about the Qin family The old lady cried like that when she carried her away, they can't do without you!"

Xie Jiu's face was pale, and he looked out of mind, leaning limply on Mrs. Liu, and said softly: "Yes, Qi'er and Lin'er are still waiting for me, Wei Jia just went out for a walk, maybe he will wait for you." He will come back to see me with a bunch of wild flowers in his arms, he likes to play these romantic tricks the most, let's go, let's go back and wait for him, otherwise he will be very disappointed if he doesn't see me when he comes back."

As he spoke, he forced himself to stand up straight, as if his strength came back all of a sudden, and he walked quickly towards the room regardless of Mrs. Liu and Zhaodi. It seemed that Wei Jia was waiting for her there, as long as she went back and waited, After a while, Wei Chi will appear with a bunch of beautiful wild flowers in his arms, giving her a little romantic surprise.Yes, it must be so!
"How to do?"

After Xie Jiu left, Li'er had a crying look on his face, but he couldn't hold back the tears, but the older Zhaodi had already started to choke.Mrs. Liu glared at her and scolded, "Why are you crying? Master just went out for a walk. He likes to take a walk the most. Madam, young master, and miss are still here, so master will not leave!"

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuu but the master never does such unreliable things. Who would go out for a walk in the middle of the night? Master... the master is still sick!"

Zhaodi cried "Wow", telling the truth that everyone in the Wei Mansion knew but refused to face.Mrs. Liu's face turned even paler, she firmly grasped Li'er's hand, and said, "Li'er, Zhaodi is older than you, but when it comes to toughness, you are the better one, you and Zhaodi go back together to accompany you Madam, I will see Your Majesty even if I don't want this old life, I beg Your Majesty to send someone to find Master, with so many people, I will definitely find Master back."

"Li'er understands that even if Li'er tries his best, he won't let his wife leave the room!"

Although young, Li'er, who has experienced many ups and downs since childhood, said with a firm face.Aunt Liu was full of sadness, but she still looked at Li'er with relief, and said in a soft voice: "Madam's temperament seems to be strong and decisive, but in fact she relies on the master the most. Now that the master is gone, the madam must not be broken. The young master and the young lady still have to rely on the madam until the master comes back, so you two remember to keep an eye on the madam, and use the young lady and the young master to remind the madam from time to time, understand?"

"we know!"

The three of them discussed for a while, then Li'er and Zhaodi hurried back to the room to accompany Xie Jiu.Seeing that Li'er and Zhaodi had gone, Mrs. Liu gathered herself together, turned around to go to the room where His Majesty Li Er lived, met Duhu head-on, and hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Have you found the master?"

Dui shook his head and said, "No, I followed the footprints outside the latrine just now. The footprints were heading south. I also asked the guard at the post station and said that a group of people left just now."

Speaking of this, Dui fell silent, with an annoyed expression and gritted teeth, obviously not optimistic.Mrs. Liu's face turned pale again, she grabbed Dahu's hand, and said: "Dahu, in our team, the master is not here now, only a few of your guards are men, and they are our pillars, you must be careful." Stay!"

After Dug roared annoyedly, he said, "I know, Aunt Liu, don't worry, we are going to see His Majesty now. I asked about the time, and we haven't left for a long time, and we can't go far. If we chase them out now, there will be There is a great chance of catching up!"

The two discussed it properly, and went to see His Majesty Li Er together.After Wei Chi disappeared, the guards reported to His Majesty Li Er, not only His Majesty Li Er, but also the Empress Changsun was alarmed, the emperor and empress couple got up together, waiting for the guards' return.When Mrs. Liu and Du Hu went to ask for an interview together, His Majesty Li Er immediately let them in and asked, "What's the matter? Why did you lose a living person in the middle of the night?"

Mrs. Liu explained today's situation and said: "Your Majesty, my master is not feeling well today and has been running to the latrine. Madam even sent Dahu to bring him medicine soup. Who knows that Dahu just returned the medicine bowl and came back. Master is gone!"

Du Hu also said: "Your Majesty, the grass-roots inspected carefully just now. When they came out of the latrine, there were a few footprints that were very strange. The grass-folk chased them out of the post station. The footprints seemed to go to the south. I also asked the gatekeeper of the post station that they had There is a team of people, holding His Majesty's oral order, to carry out the urgent call. If you send people to chase now, maybe you can catch up!"

His Majesty Li Er was decisive, and immediately ordered: "You immediately take a team of people and horses to chase, and you must find Wei Jia. Come on, send the generals to come in."

Duo took the order talisman from His Majesty Li Er and hurried out.Aunt Liu finally felt a little more at ease when she saw it.His Majesty Li Er kept pacing back and forth, summoned the accompanying officers to come in, found people who were good at tracking, and assigned troops, those who would rather kill by mistake than let go, sent people to find the direction to chase, and did not miss any suspicious traces .They also sent people to strictly investigate in the team to find all suspicious persons.His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said: "A big living person disappeared in such a large team. Without a ghost, it is absolutely impossible to do it! Let me investigate, strictly investigate, we must investigate to the end, we must find Wei Chi return!"

His Majesty Li Er was busy dispatching people to search for Wei Chi. Empress Changsun glanced at Mrs. Liu who was obviously anxious, and said in a low voice, "Madam Wei, are you all right?"

When Empress Changsun asked, Mrs. Liu couldn't hold back her tears. She wiped her tears and said, "Go back to Madam, Madam was already in a panic. The master disappeared. She was the one who panicked the most. Just now I wanted to go out to find the master, but the old slave persuaded me to go back with the safety of the young master and young lady, I am afraid that I am still out of control now, the master is the backbone of the mansion, if the master is gone, there will be no one in this mansion who can be the master."

"Is that so..."

Empress Changsun nodded slightly, thoughtfully, thinking that Mrs. Wei Xie Jiu usually looks like a strong person, but unexpectedly she is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. Thinking about the daily relationship between the Wei family and his wife, Xie Jiu really doesn't know Unknowingly relying on Wei Chi, no, perhaps it should be said that the two depend on each other, and if anyone is missing, the remaining one will lose its backbone. After all, they are the only two surviving people in the whole clan.Thinking about it this way, she understood Xie Jiu's feelings a little bit. Empress Changsun sighed softly, then turned to His Majesty Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, let me go to Mrs. Wei's place to have a look."

His Majesty Li Er suddenly said: "Yes, Guanyin maidservant, you can go and take care of it, lest Xie Jiu lose his sense of control and do something stupid. Neither of these two can do without them. You have to restrain her."

"I understand. Your Majesty, I'll go there." Empress Changsun smiled at His Majesty Li Er, called Mrs. Liu, and went to Xie Jiu's house.

It is said that after Xie Jiu returned to the room alone, he sat down, leaned softly beside the two children, patted the children gently with his hands, his face was pale, and tears rolled down his cheeks unknowingly.Wei Jia once canceled her, saying that she looks strong on the surface and looks like a strong woman, but in fact she is the weakest and loves to cry. It's just that she is older, has more experience, learned to pretend, learned to hide, and puts the weak The inside is covered up, and Wei Jia even laughed at her duplicity.Xie Jiu was crying while thinking, and couldn't remember to wipe it. He didn't even know when Li'er and Zhaodi came in. It wasn't until Li'er came over to wipe her tears that he came back to his senses, and blurted out and asked: "Did you find Wei Chi?"

"Ma'am, the master will definitely come back! Since the master and his wife returned to Datang, they have gone through many hardships, and this time it will definitely pass. If you don't believe it, then who can we believe as servants? Madam and the young master and young lady are here. If the master comes back and sees the appearance of the madam, he will feel sorry for the madam and blame the madam for not taking good care of the young lady and the young master. .”

She doesn't like to talk very much on weekdays, like a silent little lamb, Li'er can actually speak clearly and logically at critical moments, which makes Zhao brother who only knows how to hold back crying admires her, and relies on her even more, looking forward to it Madam can ask Li'er to persuade her to come over.

"You don't understand, you don't understand what Wei Chi means to me. Without him, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Xie Jiu cried and shook her head, with tears streaming down her face, her expression was fragile and sad. In fact, she was not strong at all, because of Wei Jia, she could be strong.

"Madam! Please look at Miss, look at Young Master!"

Seeing Xie Jiu's appearance, Li'er became ruthless, and suddenly said loudly.Xie Jiu was startled by her sudden loud voice, and stared at her in a daze, Li'er suddenly lifted up her sleeves, unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her bruised back, gritted her teeth, and said with tears in her eyes, "Madam please!" Look at me, look at Li'er's body! Li'er never told his wife that Li'er's father was a criminal official and his head was beheaded, and Li'er's mother and elder brother, and Li'er were just exiled. No less than father, mother... She died in love. In order to follow her father, she left behind her young elder brother and Li'er. Li'er never said that, in fact, Li'er hated her mother in her heart, and she never hated her for her elder brother. He and Li'er thought about how his mother only wanted to die for his father, but never thought about how the elder brother who was only seven years old and the three-year-old Li'er would live. How to live. Originally, we were just exiled. At most, life would be more difficult. When the court amnesties, we might be able to regain our freedom and receive pardon. However, because of the death of our mother, Li'er and eldest brother became helpless children , being bullied and insulted at will, Li'er and Big Brother were even reduced to Jiaofang Division. Life there was so hard, they could only eat leftovers every day, and they had to practice singing and dancing hard. Scolding, Li'er is better off as a daughter, but there is a scar on the back, but there is no good place on the elder brother's body, they are all scars. Madam, Miss and Young Master will never suffer as much as Li'er brothers and sisters, but However, Li'er still wants to tell Madam how important parents are to young children. If Madam doesn't protect them, what will the young master and young lady do? Madam, the master will definitely come back, Li'er has this confidence, because the master is Good people, good people will be rewarded."

The bright scars on Li'er's body hurt Xie Jiu's eyes and her nerves. Yes, Wei Jia will come back, for sure!He has always had weird and tyrannical luck. They all survived the car accident that they thought would be fatal; With kids, yes, everything is fine.Wei Chi will be back!Xie Jiu finally cheered up, stretched out his hand to help her put on her clothes, and said softly, "It's cold at night, so you need to put on your clothes well. If you catch a cold, you need to drink medicine. The medicine soup is very bitter."

"Ma'am!" Zhaodi and Li'er were surprised and delighted.Xie Jiu had a certain firmness in his expression, nodded to them and smiled slightly.Li'er and Zhaodi were both surprised and delighted—great, the usually calm and thoughtful lady is back!
