Chapter 1279 He was saved
As the guard rode past the village entrance, he exchanged a glance with the guard standing guard there.
I wanted to see something in the other person's eyes.
Unfortunately, the guards who came out of Qingyu Pavilion all had the same look in their eyes.
Forget about not noticing anything, the guards and Jiang Yubai only sensed the moment the horse passed by the village entrance.
They seemed to be staring into the eye at a stone that had been placed at the entrance of the village for a long time.
You can't see any emotion in him.
The guards didn't dare to stop for a moment, urging their horses straight towards Jiang Yubai's house.
The house was so bare that it couldn't even keep out the wind. A swarm of mosquitoes flew around the oil lamp, their buzzing noise irritating the person.
Fortunately, Fei He and the guards had sachets given to them by His Majesty, so the mosquitoes couldn't get close to them.
Seeing how pitiful Jiang Yubai's mother was, Fei He didn't want His Majesty's time to be wasted like this.
He took a few sachets from the guards and hung them on Jiang Yubai's mother's bed.
The mosquitoes flew back and forth, but dared not come near the bed.
The only ones who suffered were the guards who had lost their sachets. At first, when they still had a lingering scent from the sachets, mosquitoes dared not approach them.
But the wind inside the house was almost as strong as outside, and the slight smell of herbs on them was quickly blown away by the wind.
The only relatively secure homes in the entire village were those of the village chief and the village head, but those homes were already filled with elderly people and children.
All they could do was stand behind the commander and, when they had nothing else to do, they would swat all the mosquitoes that had no eyes to do.
It's a good way to kill time.
When Jiang Yubai rushed back, the horse hadn't even settled properly before Jiang Yubai slid off its back.
He stumbled and rushed into his mother's room.
Fei He had just seen others through the cracked window when Jiang Yubai rushed into the house.
Something was smashed in front of him, something that was also found in this room where the air and light wafted through.
By the moonlight, Jiang Yubai took out the red pill that the nobleman had mentioned from the broken pearls wrapped in velvet.
"Mother, open your mouth quickly, this will make you feel better."
Jiang Yubai carefully held the pill and put it into his mother's mouth.
Fei He was watching from the side and immediately recognized that the piece of velvet Jiang Yubai was holding was the same kind of fabric that His Majesty often used in his various small boxes.
Just by looking at how Jiang Yubai handled this antidote, one can tell that it was extremely valuable.
Jiang Yubai's mother was already on her deathbed, and it was the doctors at Qingyu Pavilion who were forcibly keeping her alive with medicine.
She kept her eyes open, waiting for Jiang Yubai to return, looking as if she was determined to die, as if she was just waiting to see her son one last time before letting herself go.
Jiang Yubai's mother lay on the bed, looking at Jiang Yubai with tears in her eyes, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Faced with the pills offered to her lips, she could only shake her head and reach out with difficulty to tug at Jiang Yubai's clothes.
Jiang Yubai seemed to freeze for a moment; the anxiety he had when he first returned had vanished.
Fei He couldn't stand it anymore and didn't want to waste any more time.
There will be plenty of opportunities for the mother and her two children to cry together again in the future. When Jiang Yuxiang covered her mouth and cried as she stepped forward, Fei He stood between her and the bed.
He snatched the pill from Jiang Yubai's hand and stuffed it into his mother's open mouth.
"You went through so much trouble to get this, and rushed all the way back just so your mother could just watch over it?"
After saying this, Fei He turned and left.
If this medicine comes from His Majesty, Jiang Yubai's mother will most likely survive this ordeal.
Fei He stood in the courtyard, looking up at the moon, lost in thought.
Hearing the heart-wrenching cries from inside, Fei He stepped outside.
As he passed the guards standing outside, he whispered:
"After dawn, take away all the sachets. If his mother doesn't make it through, send someone to let me know."
At Feihe, the probability of this happening is very low.
His Majesty will not do anything unprepared.
After leaving the house, Fei He went to the home of the village head of Jiangjia Village, where the children were housed.
Fei He thought that it was so late and the children should have been asleep long ago.
Unexpectedly, when I passed by, I could still hear people talking inside.
Fei He was dressed in all black and stood silently in the darkness, so the people inside couldn't detect him at all.
Feihe thus openly and honestly stood in the corner.
"Sister Xiaoyu, why can't we go back and sleep with Ado and the others? Why do we have to stay here? There are so many mosquitoes here."
"If you're not worried that someone might take you away while you're asleep, then go back to sleep."
The childish voice sounded puzzled.
"But haven't we already tied up all the bad guys in the village? Where else could there be bad guys?"
Xiaoyu stared at the ever-burning fire, still unsure of what to do.
"Do you really think those men in black we met today are good people? What if they betray us too?"
Under the cover of night, only Fei He could hear the girl's fear and anxiety about the future. The little girl beside Xiao Yu, who was deep in thought, had already succumbed to drowsiness and fallen asleep beside her.
By the time she realized it, the child had already tilted his head and leaned against her.
Fei He did not step forward. The young girl always had something on her mind. She would wait until she left this place that had trapped her for the first half of her life.
When they saw the scenery outside, and when they met His Majesty in Huaixiang City through the new policies promulgated by His Majesty, they could see him from afar.
Such girlish worries will then be easily resolved.
Who knows, by that time, a girl's heart will have transformed from fear of the future to longing and admiration for those she dreams of.
Your Majesty always has this kind of charm.
Thinking of His Majesty, Fei He finally smiled slightly.
As he left the house, walking on the moonlit path, he didn't need to look up at the moon; he thought to himself.
The next morning, Liang Chongyue received the news that the system had sent her in the middle of the night that Jiang Yubai's mother was getting much better.
Along with that was his mother's medical examination report.
It said that his mother's health condition was slightly better than the previous one.
At least she looks much better.
However, the root cause of the illness accumulated over the years could not be eradicated, and the pill that Liang Chongyue gave away yesterday was like the inner core of a monster.
The pill is now inside Jiang Yubai's mother's body, maintaining her bodily functions.
It seems to be getting better and better, but once that pill loses its effectiveness, his mother's condition will immediately deteriorate.
There wasn't even a quarter of an hour left.
This is already considered a forced prolongation of life. His mother will need to take good care of him from now on, not to mention using expensive medicinal herbs for nourishment, she will also need to take herbal medicine every day.
These were all minor matters to Liang Chongyue.
The amount of medicinal materials wasted and the silver spent on researching new drugs by the Imperial Medical Academy and Qingyu Pavilion each year was enough to support his mother for more than ten years.
