Chapter 448

Xue Zhifang's body is really more and more weak.

When I first came back from the imperial temple, I was able to get out of bed for half a day, or look at the account books in the government, or ask about what happened recently.

But now, I can only lie down on the bed, or sit up and drink the medicine soup reluctantly, or close my eyes and refresh my mind. No one wants to see me.

Lin Shiyi walked into the room with many thoughts in his heart.

The closer to Xue Zhifang's room, the more he saw the little ladies around him. They looked worried and worried. They were not looking well. I don't know if it was because of what the doctor said today, or whether Xue Zhifang was ill again.

"Is my mother resting?" When Lin Shiyi walked to the door, she saw perilla alone at the door. Her age was not much different from that of Xue Zhifang. She has been serving Xue Zhifang for decades.

Now Xue Zhifang has been ill for a long time and is in bed. All of them are taken care of by Perilla alone. But after all, she is too weak. Her face is more and more dark, and her sunken eyes are marked with blue black forehead. She is tired. Seeing Lin Shiyi coming, she slowly turns her head and says in a low voice, "madam, you're awake. Let's go in."

"Thank you, aunt." Lin Shiyi said in a low voice that he didn't have to be so polite, but suddenly he heard the haggard voice of perilla, and his heart was full of colors.

When the curtain was opened, a clear sound came out. The sandalwood was curling in the room. The sound of Xue Zhifang's chanting to Buddha was coming slowly. The sound of the beads twisting in his hands was clearly visible.

Lin Shiyi walked carefully to the bed and saw that Xue Zhifang's bones were getting weaker and weaker day by day. His hands with Buddhist beads were pale and craggy, and his gray nails and bright red coral beads were particularly dazzling.

Hearing Lin Shiyi's voice, Xue Zhifang didn't move.

Looking up at Lin Shiyi, he said with a forced smile, "Shiyi, you're here."

"Niang, how do you feel today?" Lin Shiyi quickly steps forward to help Xue Zhifang tuck in the quilt and asks in a low voice.

But seeing Xue Zhifang's appearance now, he felt a little more remorse in his heart.

After hearing this, Xue Zhifang sighed. She didn't want to show her worries in her eyes. She only said, "it's nothing serious. It's just that my mother always feels flustered recently, as if something is going to happen."

"Mother, you think too much." Lin Shiyi said that although Xue Zhifang was in hospital, she knew exactly what was going on outside, especially about the recent assassination of several ministers. After hearing about it, she was even more worried and had nightmares.

Smell speech, Xue Zhifang also just a little smile, follow Lin Shiyi's meaning way, "maybe I think too much, long sick bed, always like to daydream."

"Don't worry." Lin Shiyi said with a smile. He patted Xue Zhifang's hand and moved the topic to another place. He said some funny things he heard in the capital these two days and tried to make Xue Zhifang laugh.

This move is a bit habitual, but after all, Xue Zhifang's sad face was browed again.

"Shiyi, I've thought about it again these days. You're old now. At this moment, I should let your father find a good family for you, or have a trust." At last, she suddenly said that she was anxious. She shook Lin Shiyi's hand slightly, as if she was a little weak.

Lin Shiyi was stunned and said with a smile, "Niang, what do you say? I don't have this plan. Besides, it's still early, and I don't want to leave you."

Hearing Lin Shiyi refuse decisively, Xue Zhifang sighs a long time, and the sad cloud covers her face again.

Lin Shiyi knew why Xue Zhifang was worried, but that was just what happened recently.

Now Lin Xuan is ignored by the emperor. She doesn't know what the future will be like. Xue Zhifang does it for her own consideration. If she marries out at this time, there will be a good or bad situation in the prime minister's house, and she will no longer be a member of the prime minister's house.

Knowing that Xue Zhifang was thinking for himself, Lin Shiyi felt warm in his heart. Looking at her skinny body, he knew that she was on the verge of dying, but he had to worry about everything for himself.

"Niang, I will not leave the prime minister's office!" Finally, Lin Shiyi said in a deep voice that his words were still firm and he could not give in.

Xue Zhifang was slightly stunned. He heard Lin Shiyi talking about it and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Shiyi, do you know what's going on in the prime minister's mansion recently? You should also know about your father..."

"Mother, that's why I won't leave or marry. What's more, my father didn't do anything and everything was empty talk. I won't leave the prime minister's office like this!" Lin Shiyi said in a deep voice, just talking about these things, but also a little guilty.

This matter, said the initiator is her own, in the capital now rumors spread, has successfully He Yu Ning's mind, just don't know what he will do next.

After hearing Lin Shiyi's words, Xue Zhifang pondered for a moment, and finally sighed. She was quite helpless and said, "Shiyi, silly child...""Niang, don't worry. It's better to take good care of your illness. During this time, I'll ask the prescription to grasp some nourishing medicine soup. Please relax and don't think too much about it." Lin Shiyi said with a smile, comforting Xue Zhifang for a while. When he saw Xue Zhifang lying down, he had fallen asleep, and then slowly left the room.

Just out of the room, but see perilla face tired sitting on the chair outside, half squinting, seems to be in the rest.

Just listening to the sound of the curtain, he raised his head and saw Lin Shiyi come out. A trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes and said, "what's the matter with madam?"

"Mother thinks too much, always like this, how can the body bone be good?" Lin Shiyi sighed, lowered his voice, and said with perilla, "I still need to find more fun to relieve my mother's boredom."

After hearing this, zisu flashed a trace of helplessness on her face. She spread her hands and said, "since my wife arrived at the prime minister's house, how could she not worry too much and overwork one day? Especially since the miss was lost that year, when the lady's health was going from bad to worse, now it's been a long time. How can you think of such a thing

"But after all, things have happened. Now the most important thing is to let my mother feel comfortable, which is also beneficial to the recovery of the disease." Lin Shiyi knew that Xue Zhifang's illness had been unable to recover to the same level as before, and now it's just a day by day.

Seeing that Lin Shiyi's face was somewhat helpless, perilla was surprised, but suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Shiyi's sleeve, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, don't blame me for being harsh on you in the past. It's just that in the government, there are always strict rules, and the old slave also abides by the rules."

At last, she suddenly took out the silk handkerchief in her hand and wiped the tears from her eyes. Her voice trembled. "In those days, my wife was the daughter of the Duke of the country. How beautiful and delicate she was. After the old lady left, she asked me to take care of her. But I worked hard for so many years, but I didn't expect that I finally let my wife fall into such pain. I'm very sad I'm really ashamed of that! "

I didn't expect that perilla, who had been glaring at her all the time, would say such heartfelt words now. Lin Shiyi was a little moved at that time. He reddened his eyes slightly and only patted the hand of Perilla. There were many traces of her hand, which was left by her years of serving Xue Zhifang.

He was a loyal servant.

"Don't worry, aunt. I'll stay in the prime minister's office and help my mother lighten the burden."

Just saying this, he suddenly thought of the property that had been gradually lost in the prime minister's house. Lin Shiyi felt a little funny.

But all this is what we should have done.

Back in the East chamber, Lin Shiyi tossed and turned at the thought of Xue Zhifang's weak figure and the words of zisu's heart to heart, unable to calm down for a long time.

Sighing for a long time, I didn't know how to be comfortable.

"The master has walked back and forth several times. What's on his mind?" Yao Guang stops by and looks at Lin Shiyi in doubt.

Lin Shiyi shook his head slowly, sighed and pondered for a moment, but he still said, "I really didn't expect that it was such a cruel thing to watch a place fall."

After hearing this, Yao Guang did not expect to laugh, which was unexpected.

Lin Shi stares at Yao Guang. He is really dissatisfied with Yao Guang.

"Don't get me wrong, master. I just didn't expect that you always said you were cold-blooded, but in fact, you were warm-hearted." Yao Guang waved his hand and explained quickly.

There is some truth to this.

But in the end, Yao Guang looked serious. "It's just the master. Do you know that the prime minister's office is not your home. The master is always too sentimental. It's hard to avoid over thinking. In the end, he hurt himself."

"I know it. I feel bad just looking at my mother like that." Lin Shiyi couldn't bear to say.

Yao Guang was silent and shook his head slowly. "It's because the prime minister's success has attracted the emperor's attention. Even if the master doesn't do it, the emperor will try his best to do it one day."

"You are like a tiger. He knows about it, but he didn't expect it to be such a consequence." Lin Shiyi murmured to himself, the surging in his heart could not be calmed down, and finally he made up his mind.

Even though the outside news is so tense, I still have the identity of a daughter of the prime minister's house, but I still decided to go to Xiangwang's house.

After making up his mind, Lin Shi put on a mask and hurried to xiangwangfu.

The bodyguards of Prince Xiang's mansion had been used to it for a long time, so they opened the door to pass. Lin Shiyi was in a hurry. When he thought of Xue Zhifang's lingering sickbed, pale cheeks, gray black eyes, and the sound of panting and breathing, Lin Shiyi's heart was as tight as a clench. It was hard to breathe.
