Chapter 72
"Princess, please follow me." The man had no choice but to go ahead and lead the way.

For some reason, seeing his expression, Qin Anan always had a bad premonition in his heart.

After entering the house, she realized that in such a cold weather, the heater was not turned on in the house. A gust of cold air blew in, and Qin Anan couldn't help tightening the cloak around her body.

Everyone was puzzled. After all, it was a family affair, so it was not easy to publicize it. They could only suppress their dislike.

Brought into the boudoir inside the screen, Qin Anan couldn't help but be surprised!
I saw that Ma Ling's complexion was pale, and her body was as thin as a skeleton. Such a delicate and delicate temperament, how can she have the appearance of being stern and handsome in a battle robe and walking around the streets like a flame?No matter how much a person changes, he can't change like this, right?

Qin Anan gasped, holding Sister Ling's hand, which was as icy as ice edges formed outside.Looking at the girl who was not human in front of her, Qin Anan burst into tears.

"Sister Ling, what's the matter with you?" Xiao'er was also stunned for a moment, and then cried out.

Mrs. He Chengshou didn't understand either, but it was hard to open her mouth because of the crowd.

Qin Anan was furious: "Is this how you serve your young lady?! Why don't you tell the doctor when you are sick? Is this how your general treats his eldest daughter?"

"Princess calm down, it's not that we don't call the doctor, but, it's just..." The man stammered as if there was something difficult to say.

"Speak up! Who dares to murder Sister Ling!" Liang Xiao'er pulled out the whip that Pei Zihua had just given her around her waist, and waved it in the air a few times, making heart-shattering crackling sounds. The accompanying maids all turned pale with fright. Kneeling down in fear and begging for mercy!

"Princess, no matter what about the maidservants, it's Madam's order! We dare not disobey." Some messages leaked out between the words of several people.

Qin Anan closed her eyes, sorted out her thoughts, and asked Mrs. He to help her to invite the doctor over to see a doctor for sister Ling. After all, Yuecheng was the city she was most familiar with.

He looked at the kneeling servant girls again: "Take me to see your wife, I want to see what she ordered!"

Xiao'er just wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qin An'an: "Xiao'er, you stay here with Sister Ling, let someone raise the brazier, wait for Mrs. He to come with the doctor and prescribe the medicine, I will go and see the situation, After all, the general is still in a coma, so it’s not easy for me to dispose of him directly.”

Xiao'er also understood, so she scolded the servant to rearrange the room.

Qin Anan asked one of them to take him to the so-called wife's room.

Qin Anan had heard from Sister Ling before that her mother was the general's first wife, but she died when she was born. Someone is claiming to be Mrs.

On the road, I met He Chengshou who had already returned, but He Chengshou walked in a hurry and his face was a bit ugly. Qin An'an couldn't say much at this time, but simply asked a few words about the general's condition. He Chengshou seemed unwilling Say more, just let Steward Ma lead Qin Anan to visit the general, then leave.

Seeing Steward Ma's embarrassed face, Qin An'an didn't say much, but he already had some guesses in his heart.

The lady was in the general's room, saying that she wanted to serve the general personally.The indoor layout is similarly simple, because the ground dragon is burning, one can feel a burst of hot air mixed with the smell of medicine blowing towards the face as soon as one enters.Surprisingly, there are not only maids serving in the outer room, but also several beautiful women, who are sitting together and chatting, seeming to be arguing, the mess looks like a vegetable market .If it hadn't been confirmed from Steward Ma that this was General Ma's bedroom, Qin An'an would have thought he had gone to the wrong place.

The people in the room were stunned when they saw Steward Ma bringing people back in, and their voices stopped abruptly.Although they didn't know the identity of the inconspicuous woman who walked in front, seeing the butler showing respect to the woman who walked in front, they knelt down in a hurry, only two stunned heads Watching, he knelt down belatedly. "You guys..." The housekeeper looked ugly, and wanted to scold something, but because of his status, he couldn't behave properly, and the sweat on his head was dripping out in the cold weather.

These women are General Ma's concubines. At this time, General Ma is sick, but they are arguing in General Ma's room like no one else. This situation is normal, but now they are seen by the guests, and the housekeeper's square Chinese face is swollen. Get flushed.This is also the reason why He Chengshou walked so fast just now, it was really inconvenient for him to have a house full of female guests.It's just that this backyard matter, even if he is a parent official, he can't intervene at will.

Ever since the general suffered a relapse from his daily injury and was unable to get out of bed, these concubines relied on their identities in the mansion to boss them around, and even ran to the general's bedside to cry about trivial matters, which often caused General Ma a headache.Like now, these concubine servants came here again because of some trivial matter. Because the general is not in good spirits and doesn't bother to care about them, these few people insist on telling good or bad here.

This kind of thing has happened several times these days, and now that the guests see such an ugly situation, Steward Ma can only feel ashamed, thinking that he is incapable of managing it.

"The distinguished guests are here, what are you still doing here?!" Steward Ma hurriedly shouted, trying to drive them out.The women looked around, and one of them mustered up the courage to ask, "Housekeeper, this is..."

Their behavior of ignoring the order made Steward Ma look ugly, but he still said: "This is Princess Jing, who is here to visit the master."

When the women heard this, they showed a little panic. After all, although He Chengshou is the local leader, the general has worked hard and has always been very prestigious and courageous in Yuecheng. In addition, He Chengshou has always been very respectful to the Ma family. , They didn't take it seriously, but now it's the princess!Some of them were bold enough to peek up secretly.They were in Yuecheng, so they had heard about King Jing, the god of war, but because they were all concubines in the general's mansion, it was inconvenient for them to see men easily, so they had never seen the legendary prince.It is also good to see the princess of the God of War now.

"You guys step back!"

The butler was anxious and angry, and asked the maid to drag these women down.

Qin Anan stopped the butler.

"My concubine heard that there is a lady in charge of the house, who is it?"

Several people seemed to see that the situation in front of them was wrong, so they cautiously stopped talking.

Only the butler's face seemed a little more ugly: "Report to Princess Qi, Madam, she is not feeling well and is still resting in the courtyard."

"Oh, feeling unwell?! As the wife of the general's mansion, she can't stay with her husband when her general is in a coma in bed, and she can't seek medical advice in time when her children in the mansion are sick. If there is a fire in the backyard of her house, she can cause troubles over trivial matters." In front of the general's hospital bed, is this the head of the general's mansion?! This princess really admires me!" Qin An'an finished speaking sonorously, but Steward Ma knelt down in shame.

Qin An'an said to the housekeeper: "Steward Ma, let people go to the side courtyard to invite your wife right now, and just say that the princess wants to see her!"

"Yes" the butler took the order, looked at Qin An'an gratefully, and finally someone took action to clean up these people.

Due to the early death of General Ma's first wife, there has never been a decent hostess in the General's mansion, and the inner house is all taken care of by Miss Ma's nanny.Ma Ling's nanny was originally a confidant of General Ma's first wife. After the general's wife passed away, General Ma was afraid that his only daughter would be wronged, so he handed over the inner house to the nanny to take care of.This nanny is also a scheming woman. Over the years, she has not only managed the general's mansion in an orderly manner, but also tidied up all the concubines in the mansion. No one can surpass the young lady.

However, due to the death of the nanny last year, there was no one in charge in the mansion, and Ma Ling was always on the battlefield and didn't know anything about the backyard. For a while, the nanny was no longer in the general's mansion, and a group of concubines who were suppressed too much Their minds became active, and everyone wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the housekeeper's right.And although Steward Ma in the General's Mansion is a confidant of General Ma's, and he is used to fight in battles, but he really can't manage the inner house, which makes the General's Mansion more and more shameful.Taking advantage of the relapse of General Ma's old injury, Mrs. Li, who has always been doing well, was brought up as the steward. After a long time, she began to call herself Madam.

Entering the inner room, there is only one maid serving there, and a bowl of medicine is warming on a small stove next to it.

"Housekeeper." Seeing the person who came in, the maid recognized Qin An'an, and immediately stepped forward to salute, "Lu Liu has seen the princess."

"Green Liu, is the general awake? The princess is here to visit the general."

"Not yet..." The maid said with some embarrassment: "Housekeeper, it's time for the general to drink the medicine, and the maid is also thinking about waking the general up."

"This……"

Steward Ma also looked hesitant, he didn't expect the general to wake up at this time, and the distinguished guest could not let the princess wait.However, since the general's illness, he has been in poor spirits, and such drowsiness is normal.

Thinking about it, Steward Ma said to Wang Hao and the others with an apologetic face: "Wang Hao, recently, the general has been in a bad mood. When the city guard was there, he didn't..."

Qin Anan nodded, "Wufang, let's sit for a while and wait for the general to wake up."

Steward Ma hurriedly asked the maid to make tea, while he himself waited for orders.

"Steward Ma, what did the doctor say about the general's condition?"

Steward Ma said truthfully with a bitter face: "The doctor said that this is the root of the disease caused by the battlefield in the past years. I can only rest and rest, and I can't work any more. If I continue to work hard, the general may..." Steward Ma's voice choked, I can't say any more.

Although he couldn't say it clearly, Qin An'an already knew it well.

The situation is more serious than imagined.

For a while, the room was very quiet.

After the maid finished making the tea, the maid named Lu Liu used to check on General Ma, but seeing that the person on the bed had opened his eyes, he couldn't help calling out in surprise: "General, you're awake."

Hearing this, Qin An'an also stood up and walked over.

Steward Ma lifted the sluggish General Ma. When General Ma saw Qin An'an, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "I am so tired that the princess is worried about the old minister. I am sorry that the old minister is sick and cannot get up to greet him."

"It's okay, how does the general feel?" Qin Anan asked with concern.

General Ma smiled wryly, "I'm old and useless." As he spoke, the vicissitudes of life showed on the face of this titan on the battlefield.General Ma's curls were already grizzled, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened during this sudden illness. His normally burly figure was not as tall as he had imagined.However, the determination between his brows let them know that he was still the heroic man who stood upright on the battlefield.

"General!" Qin Anan couldn't help calling out emotionally, "You still have sister Ling, don't be discouraged."

At this time, the maid brought the medicine warm on the stove, and General Ma drank it in one gulp without frowning. Although his face was a little tired, his spirit was much better.

"However, please don't worry, princess." General Ma's eyes showed determination, "As long as there is a minister here, I will not let the Meng people step into our Daxing territory and plunder a grain of millet from my people! Guard the territory that the prince has laid down! "General Ma thought that Qin An'an came to visit under the order of Ji Lingchen, and although his old injuries drained his body's energy, he failed to drain his will.

Speaking of his only girl, this man also had red eyes: "Sister Ling is lucky to have a friend like the concubine. I am the father who is sorry for him. I hope the concubine can take care of her more in the future."

Qin Anan smiled, "General, the lord and I trust you. However, at this time, I still hope that the general will take care of your health. Yuecheng cannot do without you, and Sister Ling cannot do without you."

"Thank you, Princess, for your concern. The minister will."

Then Qin An'an talked for a while, telling Ji Lingchen that he was in charge of the war in Yuecheng now, so he didn't have to worry, seeing General Ma's tired face, he said goodbye tactfully.

Leaving the general's bedroom, Qin An'an personally went to a doctor stationed in the general's mansion to inquire about General Ma's condition, and the answer he got was not much different from what Steward Ma said, and was even more detailed, which also let her know that the situation was very serious. Not optimistic, go back and let Ah Chen see if there is any other way.

No matter how firm a person's will is, no matter how great his Ling Yun ambition is, he can't withstand the ravages of illness.

General Ma's condition is not suitable for being a general anymore.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report that the wife had packed up and came to see the princess.

Qin Anan sneered, and asked the butler to bring Mrs. Li to the front hall so as not to disturb the general's rest.

"Mr. Li saw the princess, but didn't know that the princess was coming, so she was far away to welcome her, please make amends!" Li bowed her knees and saluted, with a smile on her face.

Qin An'an picked up a cup of tea without making a sound. Li Shi kept saluting, and gradually became stiff, and a pain came from the bend of his leg.

She felt uneasy, but she had heard that Princess Jing and that stinky girl were friends, did they come here to ask for trouble? !

Just when Li Shi was about to be unable to hold on anymore, Qin Anan finally said, "Get up."

Li Shi was angry in her heart, but she could only bear it, trying to put on a smile on her face.

On the other side, in the dark room, after seeing the doctor, Ma Ling, who had woken up, was lying in Xiao'er's arms, crying hoarsely.

Xiao'er looked at Ma Ling who was crying with her face on her knees in front of her, and felt great pain in her heart.Her elder sister Ling has always been flamboyant, pure and proud, when did she become so fragile and sensitive?When she saw the woman lying here, she couldn't believe that the thin woman in front of her could be her once domineering sister Ling.

Who made her like this? !

Liang Xiaoer's heart was burning with anger, her eyes were red.

"... Xiaoer, I hate them so much... Xiaoer, what should I do... He doesn't want me..." Sister Ling, don't be afraid, we are here, we will vent your anger on you, and those who bully you will die ..."

The sobbing woman never raised her head, as if venting all the grievances of this period in front of the person in front of her, crying so disregarding her appearance, until her body couldn't bear such intense emotions, and finally collapsed in his arms inside.

"Sister Ling, sister Ling! Doctor! Doctor!" Xiao'er yelled in fright.

The doctor who had been waiting outside hastily entered the room for another diagnosis, and returned carefully after a long time: "Miss Liang, please don't worry, Miss Ma just passed out due to lack of energy, coupled with the recent mental and physical exhaustion and excessive grief, it caused it. On the contrary, it can relieve the stagnation in my heart, and with the medicine prepared by Caomin, I believe that I will get better soon. Just be careful, rest assured, and your emotions can no longer be so ups and downs... ".

Xiao'er looked stiff, and said lightly: "Doctor Sun, I'm sorry to trouble you, go and prescribe the medicine."

Doctor Sun responded and went down.

And the Sun family here is still talking eloquently: "What does the princess mean by this? Even if you are the princess, you can't slander me. I have worked so hard for the general's mansion for so many years, and I have done my best to take care of the general until I fell ill. , can't I go back and rest for a while? As for other people taking advantage of my rest to speculate and want to stand in front of the general, can I still control it?"

"Since you can't control such a trivial matter, it's better to hand over the power of your family to someone else as soon as possible!" Qin An angrily threw the cup in his hand to the ground, "As for the general, this princess will explain herself, and I will not I’m sorry to bother you, but as for you, this concubine will now hold you accountable for disrespecting my concubine by harshly criticizing my daughter-in-law!”

"Princess, you can't do this. I am the head of the family personally selected by the general. You can't touch me like this." Seeing that Qin An'an didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, Mrs. Li hurriedly shouted.

Qin Anan was in a hurry to go back to visit Sister Ling, and stopped being entangled with this person, and directly ordered Zhiqiu to escort this person away, guard him, and walked quickly to Ma Ling's residence.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Xiao'er who came out from inside: "Xiao'er, how is sister Ling?"

"She woke up just now, cried for a while, and now fell asleep again." Xiao'er said sadly, "She was hurt by that person, damn it, I'll kill him now!"

Qin Anan quickly smiled impulsively: "Who are you going to kill, you have to explain the matter clearly to me, or you will get into trouble and see who will clean up the mess for you."

Xiao'er pulled Qin An'an to sit down on the stool outside, and began to tell:
Ma Shaoyuan, to Wen Ma Ling, is the center of the universe.

Do you understand?
The kind of love in which one person is the center of the world.

Ma Shaoyuan is Ma Ling's cousin. After Ma Ling was born, due to the early death of her biological mother and her father's expedition, she was worried that her daughter would be wronged, so she entrusted Ma Ling to her younger brother. Of course, many people didn't know that this younger brother was not his own. , but the offspring of a comrade-in-arms adopted by Ma Geng's father.

At that time, Ma Shaoyuan, who was only 17 years old and only a child, brought another child who was still waiting to be fed. He personally operated the breastfeeding and changing diapers. The two half-old children grew up together. Following in her brother's footsteps on the battlefield, she hopes to learn tactics and martial arts by herself, and go to the battlefield to kill enemies and form formations together.

During the days when Ma Geng was fighting abroad and stationed at the border, Ma Ling lived with Ma Shaoyuan all the time. She never called him uncle, but just called him Shaoyuan. Ma Shaoyuan, who was dull or unwilling to admit his feelings, did not stop this. something happened.Ma Ling is a restrained person. She lacks human enthusiasm. Her military training since she was a child made her expression deep and restrained. She buried this emotion in her heart and guarded it silently.

Later, when Dad came back, he was going to the battlefield, and she also pestered Dad to go with him. The guilty General Ma also agreed in order to live with his daughter more in the future.

Perhaps, fate began to fork from here.

 Today, Calvin and Xiaocao decided to go to the library to spend the night to clear their minds. Going out at minus 4 degrees is true love. Little masters, I have true love for you!Should I be rewarded?
