Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 1267 - 1264_1

Shangguan Xuanyi looked over, the things in the box were the things he himself had given to Xiao’er. Was he planning to use these to impress Buddha? That’s unacceptable!

"Those things originally belonged to the mother, they were gifts from the father to the mother, your mother already knows this, doesn’t count!

Upon hearing this, the room became troubled. What should he give? He had nothing of his own!

He was still a child and couldn’t do any handywork, how could he earn silver to buy jewelry for his mother?

The room pondered a bit, then he walked over to Xiao’er, whispering into her ear: "Mother, I will comb your hair every day until I grow up, then buy the jewelry, Mother, please wake up!"

Mozhi looked at the piece of gold in his hand, thinking that one piece of gold was too little to make his mother happy!

So he took off the money bag that he wore, which contained the New Year’s money that his father and mother had given to him.

Mozhi took it out: two cute little golden mice.

But even with all of these, it still fell short compared to Nuannuan’s gift!

Why was Nuannuan so smart! She always kept quiet, but her actions were always astounding!

Mozhi suddenly had an idea. He ran over to Xiao’er, placing the money bag and the piece of gold in Xiao’er’s hand and said, "Mother, wake up, when I grow up, I will gift you a......a big mountain of gold!"

As Mozhi said this, he stretched out his little hand, demonstrating how big, so big that his arms couldn’t contain it!

Qingqing looked at the apple in her hand, she felt stingy giving an apple to Xiao’er!

So she too ran to Xiao’er and said, "Mother, Qingqing will give you a houseful of apples! One apple a day, keep the doctor away!"

In the past, Xiao’er would prepare a bit of apple mash for them to eat every day, saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Now, Qingqing was repeating this phrase back.

Watching them try their best to find ways to make Xiao’er happy, Shangguan Xuanyi couldn’t help himself and said to Xiao’er, "Child, wake up soon! The kids are so well-behaved, can you bear to disappoint them?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that Xiao’er was still not waking up, the room asked, "Father, why isn’t mother waking up? Is she waiting for us to grow up, buy things for her, then she will wake up?"

Wake up when they grow up? Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi felt as if a line of crows were flying by his forehead!

"Nonsense! Mother will wake up soon!"

"How soon? Qingqing is hungry." Qingqing touched her round little belly.

"Mother must be trying her very hardest to wake up now. She won’t bear to make us wait for too long. We also need to try our best to please her, call her back, understand?"

Pleasing her? But how?

"Is it by giving gifts?" Qingqing asked after hearing this. She needed to eat every day to not be hungry, so did this mean as long as she gifted a houseful of apples to mother every day, mother will be very happy?

"Silly, it could be kisses, play, storytelling, reciting, singing, dancing... Mother will be happy." Nuannuan counted on her fingers as she said this.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi patted Nuannuan’s head, "Exactly. Each of you can take turns daily to kiss mother, accompany her, talk to her, tell her stories, recite, and sing to mother. Once mother is happy, she will wake up soon."

In the following days, the children would wake up every day and try their best to show off to Xiao’er as she slept, hoping to wake her up.

Just like that, over a month unknowingly passed by. During this period, Shangguan Xuanjun and Di Shaowei had captured another city from Nangong Country.

Yet Xiao’er still showed no signs of waking up.

The people Shangguan Xuanyi had sent out to find Master Yunfa had not returned any news. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Shangguan Xuanyi also wrote a letter to the national teacher, asking if he had any method.

But the national teacher had not replied yet.

That day, Jingrui brought Zhu Yan over.

Jingrui had returned to the Imperial Capital for medical training earlier in the year, and on this return to Nanyue Prefecture, he brought Zhu Yan and the child with him.

He learned about Xiao’er’s unconscious state, and specifically came to visit.

Also, Yun’er was about to give birth soon, and it was not appropriate for her to be without any experienced kin by her side.

So, he brought Zhu Yan to Zezhou to accompany Yun’er for a while.

Xi’er, Yun’er along with Zhu Yan went inside the room to visit Xiao’er, but since there were gender differences, Jingrui did not enter the room.

Zhu Yan walked out of the room back to the hall, couldn’t help but sigh with worry, "Xiao’er has lost a lot of weight, even more than before she had her child, she can’t go on like this!"

"My sister has been unconscious for over two months now, living on only gruel every day, she can’t eat anything else, how could she not lose weight?" Xi’er has been diligently studying medical skills recently, in hopes of quickly finding a way to wake up Xiao’er.

Fortunately, she’s able to get a bit of gruel into her; otherwise, she would have been long gone!

"The royal master says that Xiao’er was probably injured by Gu Xuan’s spell, or her soul was expelled, which is why she is unconscious." Jingrui brought this message from the royal master as well.

"What can we do then?" Hearing this, Xi’er asked anxiously.

Shangguan Xuanyi’s gaze fell on Jingrui; and he too, showed a sense of urgency.

"If the soul was expelled, a ceremony must be conducted. If the soul was injured by magic, the royal master stated that the Divination Clan possesses a soul-reviving pill, which is made using magic, that can awaken an injured and slumbering soul."

Soul-reviving pill?

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Xuanyi’s heart was kindled with hope!

"Where can we find this soul-reviving pill? Gu Xuan is dead! I wonder if Li Guzi knows the recipe for the pill." Xi’er said.

"Even if we knew it, we wouldn’t understand magic! How would we compound it?" Jinghao frowned.

"We must find the descendants of the Divination Clan!" Jingrui said.

"Wasn’t it said that the Divination Clan was extinct long ago for some unknown reason? Leaving only Master Yunfa and the expelled Gu Xuan behind." Yun’er,holding her stomach, was full of worry.

If they can’t find Master Yunfa, will her sister remain asleep forever?

"There must be some descendants of the Divination Clan who have changed their name and gone into hiding." No matter how long it takes! He will not give up! He must awake Xiao’er.

Shangguan Xuanyi was determined.

He won’t give up, and likewise his four children are also trying their hardest every day.

...

Inside Nangong Country’s Imperial Palace

Gong Qinghua heard that another city had been captured. While he was angry, something else had shifted his attention!

"You say that Master Gu Xuan has been killed by Shangguan Xuanyi? And when Princess Rui of Minze Country challenged Gu Xuan, she was injured, and has been unconscious for two months now? So this time when Minze Country attacked Jiangzhong County, neither of the pair, Prince Rui or his consort, participated in the battle?" Gong Qinghua heard the spy’s report and couldn’t help but ask again.

"Yes, this is indeed the message passed on by the spies stationed in Zezhou."

"Have you received any other information about Prince Rui and Princess Rui?" Gong Qinghua couldn’t help but want to know more.

Ever since he crossed paths with Prince Rui, his life had been linked to failure!

Even in his dreams, he wanted to kill Shangguan Xuanyi!
