“Xiao Heng is asleep?” His father’s illness had a hope so Wei Luo could finally be distracted.
Yin Hui sat down beside him and said with a smile, “He is asleep. He is playing more during the day and will be sleepy when it gets dark.”
Wei Luo thought of his son’s eight small baby teeth and reminded her: “Remember to tell the wet nurse to brush Xiao Heng’s teeth every morning and evening, don’t use too much force.”
Yin Hui secretly smiled. King Yan’s toothache made everyone in the palace pay special attention to tooth hygiene.
After the noodles were cooked quickly, the kitchen sent over two bowls and fried side dishes.
Wei Luo: “You haven’t eaten yet?” How could Yin Hui let go of that opportunity to show her virtuousness and gentleness? She lowered her eyes and said, “I was afraid you won’t be able to eat alone, so I was waiting to eat with you.” Clouds of white mist rose from the soup bowl, blurring her bright face, but also adding a bit of coquettishness.
Wei Luo picked up the chopsticks and said, “You don’t have to wait for me the next time something like this happens again.”
Yin Hui hummed lightly.
After dinner, Wei Luo followed her to the backyard.
Because he was worried about King Yan’s illness, Wei Luo hadn’t slept in Yin Hui’s bed for many days. That night, because he fulfilled his filial piety, he indulged again.
Afterward, Yin Hui leaned on his shoulder and asked, “Aren’t you afraid? If something happens to your father under Yuan Daoqing…”
Wei Luo pressed her mouth and said in a deep voice, “If you doubt it, don’t use it. If you use it, don’t doubt it. At this point, there is no need to worry.”
Yin Hui: “Okay.”
After Wei Luo moved his hand away, an inappropriate thought popped up in his mind, and he pressed it down again in an instant.
The next morning was as Yin Hui expected. When the couple arrived at Qinzheng, they got surrounded by Concubine Xu, Wei Yang and others, asking questions about Yuan Daoqing one after another.
Wei Yang: “Third Brother, have you sent someone to check on Yuan Daoqing? Tooth extraction is too dangerous. Father decided to take medicine to heal it slowly, but you suddenly bring a doctor from afar. Just in case…”
Wei Yan: “Yes, you are too young. You should send someone to Jinghai to inquire, confirm the news, and then take him to see the father.”
The two of them were elder brothers, and they could preach to Wei Luo, but the fourth brother Wei Yin and the fifth brother Wei Jing could only listen silently. But even if they had some thoughts in their heart, they didn’t dare to interrupt the conversation.
Wei Luo replied to the two at the same time, “Father made his own decision.”
He cherished words like gold and no one could ask anything. Concubine Xu suddenly looked at Yin Hui and said, “Third daughter-in-law, I heard that you were the one who made the decision. Why are you so bold? You dare to compare the kind with a small steward of your Yin family. If something happens with the king, can you afford it?”
With it, the wife and concubines of King Yan, Wei Yang and other brothers, sisters-in-law’s looked at Yin Hui with blame, but only Mrs. Wen and Wei Ying were worried about her.
Just as Yin Hui was about to speak, Wei Luo stood beside her and said to Concubine Xu, “No matter what the outcome is, we will bear it together.”
Yin Hui looked over in shock, but only saw Wei Luo’s cold side face that she was very familiar with. No matter how others questioned and blamed, he never had any change in his expression.
For that matter, if Wei Luo was willing, he could put all the responsibility for the recommendation on her. If Yuan Daoqing harmed King Yan, he could use the opportunity to divorce her, a wife who was born in a merchant family.
But he didn’t do that. He covered her with his wings as if protecting Xiao Heng.
Yin Hui stood beside him, and looked at Concubine Xu and the others fearlessly. Speaking of it, Concubine Xu said, “Okay, let the king decide everything.”
Two days later, King Yan announced his decision to ask Yuan Daoqing to pull his tooth.
Concubine Xu wanted to persuade him otherwise, but was blocked by King Yan’s eyes.
“Yuan Daoqing, this king believes in you. Just tell me what you need. The whole family will listen to your orders regarding this king’s dental treatment.”
Yuan Daoqing admired King Yan’s courage and determination, so he listed the conditions.
The guards had to bathe and change their clothes before entering the inner hall. They needed the help of two doctors from the palace, and then let Eunuch Hai bring two young eunuchs to serve and change the water. In addition, unrelated people were not allowed to enter the inner hall, and within ten days after the tooth extraction was completed, besides him, King Yan could only have two people serving him, so as to prevent idlers from entering the hall with sickness.
Concubine Xu looked at King Yan with gentle but firm eyes and said, “My lord, let me and Eunuch Hai serve you for ten days.”
Concubine Li quickly rushed to make the same statement.
Wei Yang and other brothers and sisters knelt down, willing to be filial in front of their father king.
King Yan looked at each of them one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Luo.
“I heard what you said outside before, since the youngest couple have to bear my safety, the two servants, except Cao Dahai, are the other ones. Let’s choose the third one.”
Cao Dahai was Eunuch Hai, and he accepted the order with a smile.
Wei Luo kowtowed and said, “Thank you, father. I wish you success.”
King Yan said to Wei Yang, “During my recuperation, I will leave all the outside affairs to you.”
“Take good care of the land of Yan fore,” King Yan told Concubine Xu and the others separately and then went to the inner hall.
That afternoon, after making all the preparations, Yuan Daoqing began to pull out King Yan’s tooth.
Yin Hui, Princess Xu and others could only wait for the news in the front hall.
The scene seemed familiar to Yin Hui.
In her previous life, Yuan Daoqing treated King Yan, and everyone was waiting there, but the time was almost two months later.
Wei Luoe was already in the apse, and he was the only blood relative of King Yan who could watch.
Yin Hui couldn’t imagine the scene in the apse. She held on a string of Buddhist beads, and while waiting, she turned them sincerely, begging the Bodhisattva to bless her father-in-law and then, the husband and wife.
After more than an hour, a little eunuch ran over with tears all over his face, held a tray and knelt in front of Princess Xu, “Princess, it succeeded!”
Everyone looked at the tray in unison, and saw a white handkerchief lying on the tray. There was a tooth that had been cleaned. The top looked okay, but there was a long barb on the root of the tooth.
Concubine Xu’s voice trembled as she said, “How is my lord?”
The little eunuch replied, “He laughed twice and passed out. Divine Doctor Yuan is great.” .
The author has something to say:
Crooked Wisdom Teeth: You finally gave birth to me.
King Yan: Get out, I don’t want to see you again in my life!
Crooked Wisdom Teeth: Let me tell you quietly, I have three brothers and sisters.
