Chapter 217 Learning Archery
In the evening, the night was as dark as ink and everything was silent. The house was filled with the strong aroma of herbs. Bai Yiling carefully picked up the medicine bowl, gently blew away the hot air on the surface, then got up and walked to the bed.
Bai Yiling sat on the edge of the bed, gently helped her brother up and let him lean on her. Then, she scooped up a spoonful of warm medicine with a spoon, brought it to her brother's mouth, and whispered, "Brother, come, drink the medicine." In this way, she patiently fed the medicine into her brother's mouthful one by one.
However, even though the unconscious brother drank the medicine, his originally handsome face remained pale and bloodless.
Bai Yiling looked at her brother with heartache, her brows furrowed, her face full of deep worry.
At this time, the maid Jianqiu who had been waiting beside her couldn't help but persuade her, "Miss, you haven't eaten anything all day. How can your body bear this? You should eat something first."
After listening to Jianqiu's words, Bai Yiling felt that what she said made sense, so she gently put down the medicine bowl in her hand, turned and walked to the table, and had a simple meal.
But even so, her heart was always worried about her brother lying in bed. After quickly finishing her meal, she immediately returned to her brother's bed.
An Tai, the servant who had been standing silently by the side, stepped forward and said respectfully to Bai Yiling, "Miss, you have been busy all day. Why don't you let me stay and take care of the young master so that you can go back to your room and rest."
Bai Yiling waved her hand without hesitation and refused, "No need, Antai, I want to stay here with my brother. I can only feel at ease when I see him getting better with my own eyes." After that, she sat back on the edge of the bed, her eyes refusing to leave her brother for a moment.
At the same time, Bai Mufan in the study was fidgeting. He paced back and forth in the room, thinking constantly in his mind.
It turned out that the ginseng incident had already made the emperor furious, and in a rage he had demoted his rank. Thinking of this, Bai Mufan couldn't help but frown and mutter to himself, "What should I do? If this matter can't be properly resolved, I'm afraid my official career will be in jeopardy..."
The imperial physician is here today. If the ginseng incident delays the treatment of the third brother, and something happens to the third brother, the emperor will vent his anger on him again.
But what if his sister sends another letter to his father? Wouldn't his father blame him then? Besides, he would be heading to the northern border soon. How would he face his father then? No, he had to continue intercepting the letter.
The servant Bai Zhu stood silently behind his master, not daring to say a word at this moment.
Also in the study of Prince Ye's Mansion, Anhuo said: "Your Highness, the groom in the dungeon could not bear the punishment and has died."
King Ye said: "It's really a bargain for him."
Anhuo said again: "I have another matter that I would like to obtain the prince's consent."
King Ye asked: "What's the matter?"
Anhuo said: "The venue of the Su Mansion is too small. I want to train Su Yu and others in archery. Can we use the venue in the mansion?"
King Ye raised his head slightly, his eyes fell on Anhuo, and he said with a smile: "This king sees that you are quite concerned about your apprentice!"
An Huo quickly bowed and responded, "Your Majesty, I am doing this solely to cultivate talents for you."
Prince Ye nodded slightly and said in a clear voice: "That's great. All the places in the palace are at your disposal."
An Huo's face lit up with joy as he respectfully replied, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
The next morning, just as the sky in the east began to turn pale, an oversized carriage headed towards the Jiang residence. Inside the carriage sat Su Yu and a group of other young men and women, all filled with curiosity and anticipation.
When the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Jiang Mansion, Su Yu was still a little dazed. He blinked and turned to look at An Huo who was sitting opposite him. He shouted loudly: "Master, why are we all here?"
An Huo's face was calm, and he simply said, "Go in first, you'll know after you get in."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creaking sound and the door of Jiang Mansion quickly opened from the inside. A group of young men and women jumped out of the carriage impatiently.
Sister Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide and looked up at the huge plaque above her head. On it were two large characters written in a flamboyant style - Jiang Mansion. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, so this is the Jiang Mansion."
Everyone followed Anhuo closely, walked through the courtyard, and came to the martial arts training ground. They saw all kinds of weapons and training facilities displayed on the martial arts training ground, which was quite spectacular.
Dark Fire stopped, pointed at the neatly arranged targets in the field, and said loudly: "Today, you will practice archery here!"
Hearing this, her younger sister Su Wanwan was so excited that she almost jumped up, clapping her hands and shouting: "That's great, archery! I love it, I've never played it before!"
Su Yu looked at the five straw targets, each with five bows and arrows. It was obvious that they had been prepared in advance. Looking at such a spacious training ground, Su Yu finally understood why the master brought them here to practice swordsmanship. It must be because they could not display their skills in the courtyard of the Su Mansion.
Anhuo picked up a bow and arrow and began to demonstrate it, then said: "Put your hands as wide as your shoulders, distribute the center of gravity of your body on your feet, hold the bow in your left hand and the arrow in your right hand, naturally place your index finger and middle finger on the arrow tail, aim, and then shoot."
The arrow flew out with a whoosh and hit the bull's eye. Everyone applauded, and his younger sister Su Wanwan praised: "Master, you are so amazing."
Anhuo said: "Let's start."
Everyone picked up their bows and arrows and started shooting.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh", all bows and arrows were fired at the same time.
