Seeing Xin Yeheng's shining eyes, Uncle Mu knew that this wooden dragon carving was a great success. "As long as you're satisfied, all my efforts are worth it."
"Of course it's extremely beautiful. I've always trusted Uncle Mu's craftsmanship!" Xin Yeheng happily shared his joy with Uncle Mu. "Moreover, I've brought you a gift today. See if you like it."
As he spoke, Xin Yeheng pointed at the gift boxes piled on the table aside. Uncle Mu was a bit surprised and embarrassed. "You don't have to bring gifts when you come. It makes me feel so awkward."
"It's okay. I've already told my family that I'll have dinner outside before going home. So, I can have dinner with Uncle Mu today. Let me taste your cooking skills."
Uncle Mu thought this young man Xin Yeheng was really likable when he talked. He let out a hearty laugh. "Hahaha, Young Master Xin, you're really good at talking. But I only have simple home - cooked meals here. I'm afraid a young master like you won't get used to them."
"How could that be? Don't just look at my current glorious appearance. In fact, I've suffered a lot before. I've even lived through days when I didn't know where my next meal would come from."
Uncle Mu didn't expect that although Young Master Xin looked young, he had already experienced the hardships of life. He must have still been a child at that time. His childhood must have been tough. Uncle Mu felt a bit sympathetic towards Xin Yeheng's experiences.
So, Uncle Mu closed the shop earlier and went to the market to buy some ingredients. Since he was going to keep Xin Yeheng for dinner tonight, he must add some extra dishes.
"No need, Uncle Mu. There's no need to add extra dishes."
Xin Yeheng protested to Uncle Mu, but Uncle Mu insisted on going to the market to buy vegetables and told Xin Yeheng to wait at home for him to cook.
Xin Yeheng carefully put the dragon carving back into the black brocade box. Although the sunlight couldn't directly shine into Uncle Mu's house, it was still daytime. It was safer to put this dangerous item back into the box.
In the Fenghe Hall, Wei Shuxuan was still taking care of Wei Tu, who was recuperating. After Wei Tu woke up once last time, he had been in a coma. According to the imperial doctor, Wei Tu's body was self - repairing, so it was normal for him to be in a coma. However, when Wei Shuxuan asked the imperial doctor when he would wake up, the doctor was at a loss for words.
Later, Wei Shuxuan asked Xin Zizhao to feel Wei Tu's pulse again. "The imperial doctor is right. General Wei's body is self - repairing now. It's normal for him to be in a deep sleep. Normally, he should wake up in ten days or half a month."
Although Xin Zizhao said so, Wei Shuxuan still couldn't help worrying whether Wei Tu would wake up. She had been giving Wei Tu the herbal medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor to condition his body.
"Dad, wake up quickly. Didn't you say you wanted to chat with me? Why haven't you woken up yet? Uncle Long An and Zian are very worried about you..." After feeding Wei Tu the herbal medicine, Wei Shuxuan would spend some time chatting with the comatose Wei Tu.
"Xuan'er, Xuan'er, it's time for you to have dinner. Come out quickly!" Xin Zizhao's voice came from outside. Wei Shuxuan, who was in the room, picked up the soup bowl on one side. "I know. I'll come out right away!"
As soon as the door of the room closed, Wei Tu's eyelids on the bed twitched slightly, and his hand on the bed moved slightly.
Under the golden setting sun, a low - key carriage was galloping on the road. The middle - aged man in the carriage was closing his eyes to rest. Suddenly, a person appeared in front of the speeding carriage, and the carriage was forced to stop. The middle - aged man slowly opened his eyes and asked the servant outside, "What's going on?"
"Report to the general. It's Young Master Bai Yue!"
"Oh?" Sima Tianhai got up and got out of the carriage. Seeing Bai Yue standing outside covered in blood, he frowned tightly. "Bai Yue, why are you in such a mess?"
"It's all because Xin Zizhao and the others are so powerful. They've injured me... like this..." Bai Yue's voice was faint as if he was really seriously injured. "By the way, General, your grandson asked me to give this letter to you."
Sima Tianhai motioned for the servant sitting outside to take the letter from Bai Yue. Bai Yue covered his wound and gave the blood - stained letter to the approaching servant. Sima Tianhai took the letter from the servant. Looking at Bai Yue covered in blood, it seemed that Bai Yue couldn't be of much help in battle anymore. "Bai Yue, go back and get treated first. Come back later."
"Yes, thank you, General."
Watching Sima Tianhai's carriage driving away, the dust raised by the wheels left a long trail behind. When Bai Yue thought the distance was enough, he took out a pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth. His inner strength gradually returned, and his voice was no longer faint. The wounds on his body were just pig's blood he used to deceive Sima Tianhai. He knew that Sima Tianhai wouldn't come over to check carefully, so he managed to deceive him.
Sima Tianhai read the letter written by Xin Yeheng in the carriage. The general content was that Xin Yeheng hadn't betrayed Sima Tianhai. Instead, he had chosen to compromise under unfavorable circumstances. Now he had successfully gained the trust of Xin Zizhao and the others. In the future, he would steal the imperial seal of the Yulong Kingdom and capture Xin Zizhao, forcing Xin Zizhao to write a abdication letter.
After reading the letter, Sima Tianhai was very happy. His grandson really had his blood in him. "Heng'er, grandpa believes in you. Don't let grandpa down."
Xin Yeheng was having dinner at Mu's Mirror Workshop. "Today's food is delicious. I didn't expect Uncle Mu to be not only good at craftsmanship but also good at cooking."
"Eat more if you like it. If you're unhappy at home one day, just come to me. Uncle Mu is always here to listen to your complaints. Hahaha."
As he spoke, Uncle Mu patted Xin Yeheng on the back. Listening to Uncle Mu's hearty laughter, Xin Yeheng was also very happy. He thought there probably wouldn't be such a day. He felt very happy now.
In the evening, Wei Shuxuan finished boiling the medicine and took it in for Wei Tu to drink. Before she could turn around, she heard someone calling her. "Xuan'er... I'm awake..."
Wei Shuxuan thought she was hallucinating. She suddenly turned around and saw Wei Tu lying in bed looking at her. She quickly rushed over. "Dad, why did you sleep for so long? You scared me to death. I thought you would never wake up!"
