Cowardly Stepmother Dressed As the Hero

v2 Chapter 82



Cao Mi, who was trapped in his own thoughts, has not recovered yet, but Qi Rui next to him misunderstood her meaning.

He thought that Cao Mi was simply worried about Qi You, so he said, “It’s not unreasonable for my mother to be so worried.

“Father, we have only been in Liaozhou for two years… Do you already think you can prepare for recovery?”

Qi You glanced at the two of them and nodded slowly.

He said: “Indeed, things are a few years faster than I thought.

“But the opening of Changling Market and the slaves of the Sheng Dynasty I met in Jirong City have solved many things that I thought would take years to prepare in advance.

“Now that the eldest prince of the Rong clan is dead, there will definitely be a civil strife within the Rong clan’s royal family. I will give the lead, and then take advantage of the time when they have no time to take care of him, and recover the five cities.”

Cao Mi opened his mouth and couldn’t speak at all.

She finally realized that her crossing had formed a butterfly effect, changing the course of the world.

The “Changling Market” in Qi You’s mouth reminded her that perhaps everything changed silently as early as when she bought wool from Zhang’s family, or even earlier, when she decided to take in those refugees.

Although Liaozhou is not prosperous now, it is also stable internally, so Qi You can put all his energy on the side of the Rong tribe.

The wool sweaters she supplied to the army, and even the iron smelting method she gave to Qi You earlier, played a huge role and helped Qi You consolidate his own strength.

This time, the opportunity to successfully assassinate the eldest prince of the Rong tribe has created an excellent opportunity for Qi You to recover the five cities.

Now, he only returned to Cannes because of his injury. If he was not injured this time, Cao Mi would not know the news until the war broke out.

Qi Rui frowned and asked, “Father… Do you think the current situation is enough to regain the Five Cities?”

Qi You nodded: “Yes.”

Cao Mi originally hoped that Qi Rui could persuade Qi You, but he didn’t expect this child to be a business maniac just like his father.

He heard Qi You’s affirmative reply, his eyes lit up and said, “Father, you must heal your injury as soon as possible!

“I, I wish I could grow up immediately and accompany you on the expedition of the Rong tribe.”

Qi You glanced at him with relief, and said, “You are very good, and there will be opportunities in the future.”

Father and son looked at each other and smiled, and Cao Mi finally recovered.

She hurriedly coughed, interrupting their eye contact, and hesitantly said: “My lord…you, does the imperial court know about the recovery of the five cities?”

Qi You’s face turned serious, and he said, “Why did you want to go to the imperial court?”

After a pause, he still replied: “Now I am only in the preparation stage, there will be no real attack, and there is no need to report to the court.

“Of course, if you want to dispatch troops in the future, you will naturally need the consent of the court.”

Cao Mi nodded and asked tentatively, “Then…will the imperial court agree to your expedition?”

She wanted to use such a reminder to make Qi You alert to the court.

Unexpectedly, when Qi You heard the words, he glanced at him admiringly.

He said: “You also noticed the undercurrent in the court?”

Cao Mi was stunned, he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: “There will indeed be some villains obstructing… But, I have my own way to solve them.

“And, if I’m not sure, I won’t do it. Even if the emperor doesn’t agree at the beginning, as long as I see my victory in the first battle, I may not change my attitude.”

Seeing his confident look, Cao Mi nodded hesitantly.

Concerned about Qi You’s current physical condition, she first pressed all the questions in her mind.

Standing up, she gestured to Qi Rui with her eyes: “Well, I see.”

She bowed to Qi You-: “My lord, you should concentrate on recuperating first, everything will wait until you recover.

“I’ll take Ruier back first, it’s getting late, you should rest early.”

Qi You nodded: “Well, let’s go down.”

“Don’t disturb the prince’s rest.” Cao Mi responded.

Then, she took Qi Rui and directly exited the yard.

After two days, the long-awaited Doctor Hu finally came to Cannes.

Although Hu Shenyi is famous all over the world, his clothes are simple. His beard and hair are silver, but his face has few wrinkles, making it impossible to tell his exact age.

When he got off the carriage that Qi You specially sent to pick him up, he even refused the servant who stepped forward to help him, and jumped out of the carriage by himself.

Then he didn’t delay, took the two students who followed him, and went straight into Qi You’s yard.

Cao Mi himself did not understand the medical principles of Chinese medicine, and did not dare to go in to disturb the treatment, so he took his three children and waited in the next wing.

After a full hour, Hu Shenyi came out of the room.

Cao Mi briefly inquired about Qi You’s situation, and Shenyi Hu stroked his beard and said, “Well… the wound really dragged on for a long time.

“But the prince is very healthy, and the situation is not bad. The princess doesn’t need to worry.”

After receiving such a reply, Cao Mi’s heart relaxed a little.

Since the old genius doctor has already seen it and bluntly said that the situation is okay, he must have great confidence that he can cure Qi You.

Cao Mi then thanked God Doctor Hu and asked the people below to take God Doctor Hu down to rest first.

Hu Shenyi was also welcome. He left a middle-aged assistant in the room, watching Qi You’s situation from time to time, and then took another student to tidy up.

Qi Ran buried her head in Cao Mi’s arms and asked, “Mother…will my father get better?”

Cao Mi twitched the corners of his mouth and reassured: “It will definitely be. Hu Shenyi is here, so we don’t have to be afraid.”

Qi An poked his head into the room: “Mother, can we go in and take a look?”

Cao Mi declined: “There is no sound in the room, your father should have fallen asleep, let’s not disturb him.”

Several children nodded and sat down obediently.

The next day, after divine doctor Hu pinched Shi Chen to apply acupuncture to Qi You, Cao Mi found a space and went into the room to see Qi You’s state.

Only then did she realize that Qi You was having a fever!

She frowned, turned her head and asked in a low voice, “Doctor Hu… The lord was still fine before, why is it so hot today?”

Hu Shenyi was packing his medicine box, and after hearing the words, he explained: “The princess doesn’t need to worry, the lord is feverish at this time, which is actually a good sign.

“I have already asked the people below to boil the medicine. After drinking the medicine, and survive today, the lord will be well soon.”

“So fast?” Cao Mi was a little surprised.

You know, Shenyi Hu was the palace that only arrived yesterday.

Hu Shenyi paused and explained: “…This is actually what the lord asked. He told me yesterday that he wants to be cured as soon as possible.

“The lord’s body is much better than that of ordinary people. Although this is a bit dangerous, it is indeed much faster than the ordinary method. There is no serious problem with the lord, and the princess can rest assured.”

“This…” Cao Mi was somewhat dissatisfied.

According to Hu Shenyi, although this method is effective, it is also “a bit dangerous”.

Thinking that the request was raised by Qi You himself, and that Hu Shenyi was willing to do it, he must be sure, so Cao Mi suppressed his emotions and stopped talking.

But an hour later, the three children who came to visit learned about Qi You’s fever, and were obviously panicked.

In this day and age, fever is a very serious phenomenon.

Seeing that the three of them were in a bad mood, Cao Mi comforted him in a warm voice: “Don’t worry, Shenyi Hu just told me that the lord will be well soon.”

Among the three children, even the youngest Qi Ran did not believe her words.

Little Fatty said with a weeping voice, “Is it… Is it okay? But my father… has a fever!”

Cao Mi wiped the tears from his cheeks and said, “…Actually, sometimes fever is actually a good phenomenon. It’s the prince’s body that is fighting the injury!”

Qi Ran obviously didn’t believe it.

He asked again: “Why, when fighting an injury, I get a fever?”

Cao Mi thought for a while, and said, “Because the pain hides in the body, if the body gets hot and the pain can’t bear it, he will die or run away.”

Hearing her explanation, the three children were stunned.

After a while, Qi Rui, who knew the most, reacted.

He asked: “Sickness is not a monster, why can it hide in the body?”

He frowned and looked at Cao Mi with disbelief in his eyes.

Cao Mi thought for a while, then tried to explain: “Well… the illness my mother said was not a monster, it was some… small things, just like roundworms.

“Before there was a sudden abdominal pain, it was because of roundworms, do you remember?”

Abdominal pain caused by roundworms is usually caused by eating cold or unclean food.

Qi Rui and Qi An are more sensible, but Qi Ran has suffered from this disease because of their love of food.

Fortunately, ascariasis has long been recorded in ancient times, and the treatment method is not complicated. At that time, I saw a doctor and was cured after drinking two patches of medicine.

Cao Mi’s analogy, the three children can roughly understand.

“But it’s not ascariasis that my father is troubled by…” Qi An asked again, holding his small head.

Cao Mi smiled and said, “It’s a kind of… a little bug that’s much smaller than a roundworm.

“They are too small and can’t stand the toss. When a person’s body heats up, they are quickly eliminated, and then the pain is cured!”

Qi You suffered a trauma, and Cao Mi guessed that he had a fever, which should be at most a problem of wound infection.

And because Shenyi Hu had already sworn that he would be fine, Cao Mi felt that it was useless to worry about it. It really doesn’t work, she can smuggle out some anti-inflammatory drugs from the space to help Qi You reduce the fever.

Regarding the remarks of “fever”, she originally said it to appease the three children, but Hu Shenyi, who had not left, was very unhappy when she heard it.

He is old and has seen many dignitaries and dignitaries, so he is not afraid of a princess like Cao Mi at all.

Hearing Cao Mi’s “nonsense”, he reprimanded: “Nonsense, what does Wang Ye’s illness have to do with roundworms or something?”

When Cao Mi heard his words, he came back to his senses.

She had no intention of arguing with the old genius doctor, so she took the initiative to apologize: “I was wrong, please don’t take it to heart.”

Seeing that she had a good attitude and was willing to sell Qi You’s face, Hu Shenyi nodded and didn’t care anymore.

Who would have thought that the twins couldn’t see Cao Mi being wronged at all.

They were not like Qi Rui, who could understand the worldly feelings in this episode. At this time, they were dissatisfied when they saw Cao Mi shriveled.

“What nonsense!” Qi An directly stood in front of Cao Mi, and said with open arms: “What my mother said is right, otherwise why would my father have a fever?”

“Yes!” The third child also held out his small chest, resolutely defending Cao Mi.

The author has something to say: thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution: three sisters and 2 bottles;

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
