I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 158 Old 8 is seriously ill

After returning to the capital, the Eighth Master locked himself up in his mansion except for the first day when he went to the palace to visit his mother. Even the Nineth and Tenth Brothers were not allowed to enter the Eighth Master's mansion!

Lao Ba stood under the eaves, watching the raindrops falling to the ground one by one, but his thoughts drifted to who knows where!

You are the wind that I cannot catch, just like I cannot embrace this sky. In the end, you will disappear without a trace like this rainbow! You are the wind that I cannot catch, and you are also the dream that I cannot wake up from! The swallows fly over the empty building, and the surging river flows eastward!

Originally, if Lao Ba had not met Yunyan during the assassination during his trip to Jiangnan, he would have definitely gotten involved. But since Yunyan left, he was unwilling to get involved in those messy matters anymore!

Even though Lao Ba found some things, he just asked Lao Jiu to give them to Lao Si. He didn't ask about the rest. Even in the secret building, Lao Ba ordered them to hide.

Now, except for those few customers, no one knows about the existence of the Dark Building. They all think that the Dark Building has been taken over by someone else!

Old Eight also fell completely silent at this point. After returning to the capital, he never attended the morning court again and always told outsiders that he was sick!

In fact, Lao Ba was really sick. His cough had never been cured and it even became more and more serious. When it was serious, you could even see a little blood on his handkerchief!

The housekeeper of the Eighth Master's Mansion looked at the thin figure of his master with a look of distress in his eyes. Thinking of the news he had just received, he sighed deeply, and walked up to the Eighth Master without hesitation!

Lao Ba: “Cough cough…, cough cough cough…!”

Housekeeper Lin looked at his master distressedly, and he didn't know what was wrong with his master. He had seen so many doctors, but why was there no effect? ​​It was getting worse!

Steward Lin hurried forward and happened to see a trace of blood on the handkerchief in Lao Ba's hand. Steward Lin said sadly: "Master..., what's wrong with your cough? Why hasn't it gotten better? It's not winter yet, why are you coughing so badly?"

Lao Ba looked calm. He did not turn around to look at Steward Lin. Instead, he looked at the scene in the rain and said softly, "What's the matter?"

When Steward Lin heard Old Eight's question, he knew that their master didn't want to talk about this matter and was trying to change the subject. Steward Lin couldn't do anything about their master, so he could only sigh deeply and said, "Master..., there's news from Guangdong!"

Lao Ba's heart trembled, he blinked, and stared at the blue bricks on the ground for a long time without saying a word. Just when Steward Lin thought that his master would not speak again.

But Lao Ba suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "She..., she's gone!"

Steward Lin nodded and said, "Well... our people saw Miss Yunyan board the boat with their own eyes!"

Although Lao Ba knew the answer, he still held on to a glimmer of hope. Unfortunately, he did not get the answer he wanted.

Lao Ba felt a pain in his chest and a sweetness in his throat. He wanted to hold it back, not wanting others to see his miserable state. Unfortunately, the sadness in his heart could not be suppressed no matter how hard he tried!

Suddenly, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Lao Ba's mouth, which frightened Steward Lin so much that he panicked. Steward Lin quickly supported Lao Ba and shouted to the servants not far away in panic: "Someone, go and get the imperial physician! Go and get the imperial physician!"

When the servants heard Steward Lin's shout, they all became panicked. One of the servants ran out of the house quickly, and the rest all ran towards Lao Ba and the others and surrounded them.

With the help of Steward Lin, Lao Ba turned around and walked towards the house. As he walked, he said to Steward Lin beside him: "Go and get that person back!"

When Butler Lin heard what Lao Ba said, he was stunned and looked at Lao Ba with disbelief.

Lao Ba looked at the stunned Steward Lin and said weakly again, "Go and get him back. Go quickly. Do you need me to say it for the third time?"

Butler Lin didn't want to go, but looking at the majestic eyes of his master, Butler Lin stomped his feet in anger, but he had no choice but to compromise.

Butler Lin quickly made a gesture, and a person in the dark disappeared instantly. No one noticed that there was one person missing in the dark, and only Lao Ba noticed it!

Under the service of Steward Lin, Lao Ba half-lay on the bed and waved his hand, asking the servants to leave.

Steward Lin: "Master, even if you don't call the imperial physician, call Doctor Liu! Let him help you!"

Lao Ba shook his head and said, "No need. I know my own body best. I just need to rest for a while. You all can go down. I want to be alone and quiet!"

Butler Lin felt that he was really going crazy. Not only was his own master driving him crazy, but even the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were driving him crazy. Butler Lin felt that his life was really too miserable.

Housekeeper Lin: "Master..., even if you don't want to see the doctor, what about Master Nine and Master Ten? They knock on the door every day. I have been holding them back for more than two months. I can't hold them back forever!"

Steward Lin pretended to be pitiful and said, "Master..., even the palace has sent people here. Not only the emperor, but even Concubine Liang has sent people to ask you when you entered the palace? Master..., if you don't give me an accurate answer, I will be torn to pieces by them. Master..., I don't want to die yet! Master, please be kind and help me!"

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Steward Lin, Lao Ba couldn't even laugh. He could only say calmly, "Wait a few days! When I feel better in a few days, I will go to the palace to see my mother!"

When Steward Lin heard what his master said, he felt half relieved. You know, his master cares a lot about Concubine Liang!

Butler Lin smiled instantly, but when he saw Lao Ba's weak face, the joy that had just risen up disappeared in an instant!

Steward Lin: "Okay, next time Master Jiu and his friends come, I'll tell them this!"

Lao Ba nodded, stopped talking, closed his eyes and rested!

Butler Lin saw that Lao Ba closed his eyes, suppressed the worry in his heart, and walked out of the house with light steps. However, as soon as he walked out of the house, the expression on his face changed instantly, and he immediately became serious, and asked the servants outside the house to serve the master well!

As for Steward Lin himself, he was indeed busy with his own affairs. Although he was only a steward and there were not many people in the Prince's Mansion, it was enough to keep him busy!
