Chapter 1368 Time is running out
Cheng Youning shook his head blankly, "I didn't see my master!" He turned to look at Qiao Rong: "Have you seen my master?"
Qiao Rong also shook his head: "I didn't see it!"
"Mom, you must have made a mistake. My master will definitely look for me when he comes back. I am his last disciple!"
"That's right, the person must have come back!"
After dinner, Cheng Youning went to the palace to pay a special visit to his master and his entourage.
"Little Grandfather, I heard that my master's followers have returned. Youning wants to go and pay a visit to the master!"
"Unfortunately, your master's followers are out doing something for Grandpa!"
"Going to work again?"
Cheng Youning had no choice but to return in disappointment. He was very disappointed that he did not see his entourage.
However, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the lunar year was coming soon, but the time that Wan Lianxing had set for Cheng Youning had also arrived.
Cheng Youning was filled with resentment as soon as he walked out of the door. He had to attend court every day, even the Lantern Festival on the 15th. It would have been fine if he just stood there, but today he was a little afraid to face his grandfather, because he had not memorized the surprisingly honest "Prince's Instructions" at all.
It's not that he is stupid, nor that he is slow at memorizing things. He is just dissatisfied with the rules and regulations in "Instructions for the Prince". The entire book "Instructions for the Prince" is used to restrain and restrict him. Only a fool will be willing to memorize this thing.
Snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own paths. Cheng Youning had his own little plans. He ran away after the court session and went straight to Prince Pang's palace.
There would definitely be no one to take care of him if he returned home. His grandfather was sick and his grandmother was not in good health either. The entire Prince Pang's mansion was revolving around his grandparents and no one paid too much attention to him.
Mrs. Wan was happy to see her grandson coming early, "Grandson, today is the Lantern Festival, why don't you go to the street!"
Cheng Youning said obediently and sensibly: "Grandma, I will go to the street to enjoy the lanterns at night. During the day, I will stay here to look after Grandpa."
There was no shortage of people in Prince Pang's Mansion to feed water and medicine to Master Wan, but Cheng Feng was still on the way, so the task of filial piety by the bedside naturally fell on Shang Xi and Cheng Youning. Although Cheng Youning was still young, he did a very good job in taking care of his grandfather, and no one in the entire Prince Pang's Mansion could find fault with him.
Mrs. Wan was naturally very satisfied and never hesitated to praise him: "My grandson has grown up and become sensible. Your grandfather has relied on you for his help!"
Cheng Youning grinned and said confidently, "Grandma, don't worry, I will take care of you until you get out of bed."
"Okay, okay, if your grandfather heard what you said, he would definitely laugh out loud!"
Just as a little joy appeared in the room, it was instantly extinguished by the coughing in the inner room. Master Wan's coughs became more and more painful, like crying blood. Before everyone came in, Shang Xi ran out from the inner room. She stood at the door and blocked everyone outside, "Xing'er, quickly ask the imperial physician who came to take the pulse to come back."
"Princess, the doctor who came to check the master's pulse this morning has been gone for quite some time. We can't catch him up now!"
"Then send someone to the palace to invite him immediately, and go quickly!"
"Oh oh..." Xing'er nodded hurriedly, then hurried out to order someone to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician.
Cheng Youning was the first to go into the inner room. He looked at his grandfather lying on the bed as usual, with his eyes closed, but he was definitely not asleep. Cheng Youning had served Master Wan for a while, and he could tell whether his grandfather was sleeping or resting with his eyes closed.
He walked out with some doubts, and when he came out, he saw his grandmother crying. Shang Xi's face was also very pale, and her expression was not uneasy.
"Grandma, why are you crying? From what I can see, Grandpa is the same as he was yesterday."
Madam Wan hid the bloody handkerchief in her palm and explained, "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, a day for family reunion. Grandma misses your father and her deceased ancestors."
Cheng Youning had no doubts, because he knew that his father had a twin brother who died before he was born, and his grandmother would cry whenever she thought of him, so he concluded that his grandmother was just missing her ancestors, not his father. The person sent to bring a message to his father had been gone for four days, so his father would be back soon.
"Mom, what are you worried about?"
Shang Xi forced a smile: "I miss your father, and I don't know when he will come back!"
Mr. Wan's condition is getting worse and worse and there is no sign of improvement. Shang Xi is worried and needs Cheng Feng to come back as soon as possible.
"Mom, Daddy has been our family's salesman for two years, and I haven't seen you. You looked so sad because I missed him so much. What happened to you today?" Cheng Youning didn't know how serious his grandfather's illness was, but the adults' emotions still affected him all the time.
"Nothing, just go inside and stay with your grandpa. Call us if you need anything!"
As soon as Cheng Youning left, Madam Wan said to Shang Xi, "Send someone to call your sister."
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and everyone in the Qian family must be very busy. If they had free time, Wan Baiqian would have come long ago and no one would have needed to invite him!
Seeing that Madam Wan was at a loss, Shang Xi still ordered someone to go and ask for help.
After the millions of dollars arrived, there was nothing they could do except shed a few tears. Everyone still relied on the imperial physician, and the imperial physician was just changing one prescription after another.
The whole palace was filled with gloom and death. Even with Cheng Youning at home, the atmosphere was still gloomy and depressing, and it could not be changed at all.
After a busy day of state affairs, Wan Lianxing arrived at Prince Pang's mansion in the evening. He had already known about Master Wan's condition, but the imperial doctors who should be dispatched had already been dispatched, and his elder brother had been given the good and rare medicines, but there was still no improvement. He could only pray for his elder brother in his heart.
Wan Lianxing spent an incense stick of time alone with his elder brother and sister-in-law in the inner room. When he came out, he said to Shang Xi, "Shang Xi, please see my uncle off!"
When Shang Xi heard that this was a request, she thought it was something that she couldn't say out loud.
Shang Xi followed, and when they were about to leave the palace, Wan Lianxing spoke softly: "Shang Xi, our Wan family's ancestral tomb was robbed, the coffin was destroyed, and our ancestors were insulted!"
Shang Xi was stunned. The emperor of Dalang Kingdom was too wicked. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It was enough to say that he dug up the ancestral graves of others when he couldn't win. He also destroyed the bodies of the Wan family. How could he destroy the bodies to vent his anger? I really don't understand how such a person governs the country.
"My uncle will take revenge for this. I have a problem right now. I wonder if you can handle it."
"Uncle, please tell me!"
"I asked Chen Ming to choose a cemetery!"
Wan Lianxing paused after saying this, and Shang Xi had no choice but to ask herself: "Who did you choose for? Are you going to move the Wan family's ancestral tomb to Fengying?"
Seeing Wan Lianxing didn't say anything, Shang Xi thought she had guessed wrong. If that was the case, it meant that Wan Lianxing wanted to build an imperial mausoleum for herself. It took four years, and the imperial palace had been completely renovated. It was time to build the mausoleum, but why would he tell her about it?
