Chapter 362 The Owner of the Letter Sends Red Plums

The imperial doctors thought Shen Ningning's hand had recovered well.

It was even beyond their expectations.

However, in order to make the little guy recover faster, the imperial doctors prescribed a hot compress for the wrist.

That night, Mo Lingwei let Shen Ningning stay in the palace.

He also supervised her hand bathing.

On a cold winter night.

A huge black shadow, flapping its wings, landed in front of Shen Ningning's window.

Mengyi had a letter hanging around his neck.

It kept pecking at the window.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!" The sound kept coming.

The wolves sleeping in Shen Ningning's room were annoyed.

The little white wolf suddenly jumped up, pounced on the window and howled fiercely.

Mengyi was so scared that he flapped his wings and ran away.

It seemed that his eagle king was not at home.

Unable to get food in Wolf Mountain, Mengyi turned around and flew straight to Qi Mansion.

The cold wind was biting, and the half-open window reflected a round of cold and dim moon.

Qi Xiuwei stood in front of the window with a thin body, a sickly face, pale and bloodless.

She coughed and poured the medicine bowl into a potted plant in front of the window.

Grandmother said that when she got better, she would be sent to the palace.

They were determined to persuade the prince to accept her as a female official.

But Qi Xiuwei really didn't want to.

She knew that her grandmother had many ways to force her to enter the palace.

It was said that her aunt, the deposed concubine Qi Jingchun, was also unwilling to enter the palace as a concubine at first, but she couldn't withstand the pressure from her family.

She could only resist taking medicine to make herself get better more slowly, more slowly...

At this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly fell in front of the window.

"Ah!" Qi Xiuwei screamed, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground, and broken porcelain flew.

The voice of the maid came from outside the door: "Miss, what's wrong?"

Hearing the sound of the maid pushing the door in.

Qi Xiuwei quickly picked up the chubby Mengyi and stuffed him into her cabinet.

The maid came in and saw only broken porcelain all over the floor.

"Oh, why did the bowl break?"

"I just drank the medicine and I feel a little dizzy. I accidentally broke it."

"Miss, don't move. I'll clean it up." The maid didn't doubt that she didn't drink the medicine. She came in with a broom and swept the broken porcelain away before leaving.

After she left, Qi Xiuwei opened the closet.

Mengyi flapped his wings and flew out.

It stood on the screen, shook its head with some dissatisfaction, and shook its fur.

Today's mission was not good. It didn't get any food when it went to Langshan. It was thrown into the closet just now, which made it dizzy.

Qi Xiuwei looked at it, with a warm smile on her little face.

"You came at the right time. I left you two days of stuffed minced meat. I'll bring it to you now."

As she said that, Qi Xiuwei quietly went out and returned after a while, putting two plates of meat on the table. Mengyi's eyes lit up.

It flew down to enjoy it and feasted on it.

Qi Xiuwei immediately saw a letter hanging around its neck.

She opened it and her eyes gradually became moist.

It was Pei Yin who wrote to her.

[I wish you a speedy recovery. ]

Pei Yin's handwriting was thin and elegant, as if he had his own style.

Although the letter was written very simply, Qi Xiuwei felt very moved.

Because Pei Yin had a cold personality, they could have such close communication in private, and Qi Xiuwei was happy about it.

She thought about it, took out the scented paper, and wrote a reply.

It was the second watch of the night.

Pei Yin stood in the corridor outside the house where the guards in the palace rested, looking at the vast cold night.

A familiar eagle cry sounded.

Pei Yin stretched out his arm and landed on him skillfully with his wings.

He looked down and saw that Shen Ningning had replied.

Pei Yin returned to the house, opened the folded paper, and was slightly stunned.

Shen Ningning's handwriting was more delicate and exquisite than he had imagined.

The paper had a fragrance that was fresh and pleasant, very unique.

[Thank you, Captain Pei, for your concern. Although I am still sick, I take medicine on time every day and try my best to get better. ]

Pei Yin couldn't help but nod his head when he saw this.

Today, he did see the prince summon all the doctors for Shen Ningning.

[When writing this reply, I opened the window and saw a tree of red plum blossoms blooming outside. I am attaching one here, and please enjoy it with Captain Pei. ]

Pei Yin turned the paper to the back.

Sure enough, there was a plum blossom that had just been picked.

He lowered his head and smelled it, and it still had a faint fragrance.

He was really a little surprised.

At first, he wrote to Shen Ningning to say hello out of courtesy.

Because they raised Mengyi together, Pei Yin had a good impression of Shen Ningning.

And when she heard that Shen Ningning was injured and trapped in the mountains that night, she probably blew the whistle, otherwise Meng Yi would not be there.

Maybe she wanted to ask for help at that time?

That's why Pei Yin wanted to express his condolences.

In Pei Yin's impression, Shen Ningning was lively and bright, and her tone of voice was always rising.

Occasionally, she could be seen with Mo Lingwei in the imperial garden to appreciate flowers.

The little girl's happy and lively voice was very pleasant to the ears.

But the words in this letter gave him a feeling of gentleness and tenderness.

It was especially different from the Shen Ningning she usually showed.

Looking at the plum blossom, Pei Yin smiled knowingly, and out of calmness and restraint, he did not reply to the letter.

He just put the red plum blossom in the cabinet and kept it.

The next day, he was on patrol early.

When he passed by Zichen Palace, he saw Shen Ningning yawning and walking out.

Mo Lingwei was in a hurry to go to court, and he did not forget to send the little girl to the door and watched her get on the sedan chair with his own eyes.

Pei Yin hesitated slightly.

Shen Ningning didn’t leave the palace yesterday?

Then how did she write back to him? Could it be that Meng Yi flew to Zichen Palace?

Pei Yin deliberately stopped at the gate of Zichen Palace for a moment.

He saw that there were indeed a few red plum trees planted in the courtyard of Zichen Palace.

If Shen Ningning had stayed in the side hall of Zichen Palace last night, it would not be surprising to pick red plums.

Pei Yin retracted his gaze and left with a normal expression.

The matter of gunpowder was investigated, and Jiang Zhi's suspicion was cleared.

She returned to the fire soldier camp.

It was snowing lightly that day.

When Chen Shaobei came to find her, she was studying the cannon barrel given to her by Shen Ningning.

Because she was extremely serious, she didn't even notice Chen Shaobei standing behind her.

Seeing her focused eyes, Chen Shaobei looked at it for a while and said, "This cannon barrel is very rare."

"Yes," Jiang Zhi didn't react, and answered subconsciously: "The best gunpowder cannon in our armory also shoots two times, but this cannon barrel can shoot three times!"

Where did Sister Ningning get this good treasure?

Suddenly.

Jiang Zhi came back to her senses, she turned around and saw Chen Shaobei, and quickly put down the cannon barrel.

"Major General." She bowed and explained hurriedly: "This cannon barrel was given by Sister Ningning, I didn't take anything from the armory."

Chen Shaobei's eyebrows were bright, and he waved his hand to indicate: "I know, don't be nervous."

As he said, he took out a bag of fried peanuts and braised beef from behind.

"My father misunderstood you before, don't take it to heart. I heard that you like to eat braised beef, this little thing, let me apologize to you on his behalf."

Jiang Zhi was stunned and waved her hand quickly.

"No, thank you for your kindness, Major General."

She is not a vengeful person.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shaobei smiled, put down the food and left.

Seeing him leave so decisively, Jiang Zhi scratched her head.

The aroma of the braised beef in soy sauce aroused Jiang Zhi's cravings.

She silently put down the cannon: "Let's eat something, it's already been delivered."
