A month after the Empress Dowager's funeral, Zhao Ziyu submitted her resignation to the Emperor on the grounds of poor health and wished to return to her fiefdom.
Lu Yunzheng was originally going to marry Princess Mingxin, but news came from Mobei that General Zhenbei was unwell.
The emperor asked Princess Mingxin's fiancé, Lu Yunzheng, to bring famous doctors from the capital to Mobei to treat General Zhenbei.
It just so happened that Liu Qiaoer was on this list of famous doctors, and she was going to follow Lu Yunzheng to Mobei.
Because of the death of the Queen Mother, the fight between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince has temporarily subsided, but it will not stop.
During her time in the capital, Liu Qiaoer also discovered that she thought she was paving the way for Lu Yunzheng with money, and Lu Yunzheng would be able to succeed with his enthusiasm and excellent ability to do things.
In fact, she thought too simply.
In the capital, it is not enough to just be rich. Aristocratic families, clans, ministers in the court, poor families, nobles, everything has to be considered.
Especially since there is an inactive emperor, the imperial strategy is to raise the third prince to compete with the crown prince, which is a balance.
Corruption and monopoly are not much better than the dungeon in the end times. It is difficult to squeeze into the already formed class system.
An official's family may suddenly fall into decline, but it is extremely difficult to stand up again.
Liu Qiaoer's wish is very simple, which is to make money and use the technology in the space to benefit mankind. Even such a wish is difficult to achieve.
If Zhao Ziyu hadn't been blocking her way, it would have been difficult for Liu Qiaoer to stay in the capital.
However, now she and Lu Yunzheng both have new ideas. They want to overthrow the entire court through their own efforts and unite some people with lofty ideals to establish a clean and honest court.
It is easier said than done.
Looking at the endless green land, when the wind blows, the wheat waves rise and fall like a carpet, which is very beautiful.
"These fields will have a good harvest this autumn." Lu Yunzheng was very pleased at the first sight.
Liu Qiaoer sighed: "Well, we have to go to the Northern Wasteland, so we won't be able to see it."
Lu Yunzheng stroked Liu Qiaoer's hand and said, "The amount of grain production will be known. As long as you can ensure that the price of grain in the capital does not rise, you will be a hero of the Great Zhou."
From a distance, Zhao Ziyu came over with a pair of men and horses, and there was a coffin on a carriage.
"It seems that the prince brought back his mother's body."
Zhao Ziyu was very smart. When the empress dowager was buried, he secretly carried out his mother's body. This was his mother's last wish, to be buried where she was born.
A group of people came in front of Lu Yunzheng and Liu Qiaoer. Zhao Ziyu rode on a tall horse and waved to Liu Qiaoer.
His tone was quite regretful: "I originally wanted you to go with me. After all, you were the one who found that place. Since you chose to be with Lu Yunzheng, then I wish you all the best and hope you can be together soon."
Liu Qiaoer chuckled: "You have someone with better medical skills than me around you, so I won't cause trouble for you. We will probably stay in Mobei for a few years. Let's keep in touch if there is anything."
Lu Yunzheng also clasped his fists towards Zhao Ziyu and said, "If the prince needs me, I will do my best to help him."
In fact, Lu Yunzheng felt that Zhao Ziyu was a wise ruler, but a wise ruler also had to judge the situation. He asked to return to his fiefdom, which on the surface was to show weakness to the emperor, but it was also feasible for him to secretly cultivate his own power.
Zhao Ziyu left the capital with his men. Liu Qiaoer and Lu Yunzheng were also preparing to head north when they suddenly heard the sound of someone chasing them from behind.
"Lu Yunzheng, you dare to abandon this princess..."
Not only did Princess Mingxin come, she also brought the female soldiers that Mingxin trained when she traveled through time.
Liu Qiaoer was surprised: "Although the Queen Mother has passed away, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince are still here. Are they confident that Mingxin will go to Mobei with us?"
Lu Yunzheng was also a little confused, but looking at Princess Mingxin's attire, he guessed, "She doesn't live in the palace now, so she probably left quietly."
Liu Qiaoer rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Deceiving the emperor is a capital crime."
Unexpectedly, Princess Mingxin was followed by Master Lu, who was looking at Lu Yunzheng with a smile.
"The Crown Prince has ordered you to take good care of Princess Mingxin and go to Mobei to support General Zhenbei. As for Miss Liu, the Crown Princess has been feeling unwell lately, so please go to the East Palace and be her personal physician."
That’s really good. Let Princess Mingxin be taken care of by Lu Yunzheng, and leave Liu Qiaoer in the capital, in the Prince’s Eastern Palace.
Liu Qiao'er's heart skipped a beat. Wouldn't this mean that she would have to get involved in the fight between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince? She was very unwilling to do so.
However, Master Lu did not seem to need Liu Qiaoer's consent at all, and the people around him detained Liu Qiaoer, Chunxiao and others.
Liu Qiaoer had no choice but to stay and patted Lu Yunzheng on the shoulder: "I'll wait for you, come back soon."
Princess Mingxin stepped forward and pulled Liu Qiaoer's arm away: "Lu Yunzheng is my man, you are just a little female doctor, you are not worthy of him."
Liu Qiao'er was already angry, and Princess Mingxin came up to her. Liu Qiao'er grabbed Princess Mingxin's arm and was about to throw her over her shoulder.
Suddenly, she stopped holding Mingxin's hand.
His eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were burning: "Have you lost your appetite recently? Do you feel nauseous sometimes?"
Ming Xin was startled and nodded: "Yes, so what? The weather is hot, and it is normal for me to not be able to eat. Could it be that because of this, I will not be allowed to go with Master Lu."
Liu Qiaoer's lips curved into a mysterious smile. She suddenly pulled Princess Mingxin into her arms and whispered, "You're pregnant."
Mingxin hasn't married Lu Yunzheng yet, but now she is pregnant. It is obvious that the child is Pei Yuanhai's.
But in her memory, there was no Pei family.
Princess Mingxin opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and her face lost all color.
"What do you mean? Slandering me?"
Liu Qiao'er shrugged: "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can find another doctor on the road."
"But I'll be frank with you. You're less than three months pregnant and the bumpy ride might cause miscarriage. You won't be able to find a doctor in this remote place, so your life might be in danger. You should decide whether to leave now or not."
Liu Qiaoer successfully threw the decision back to Princess Mingxin.
Princess Mingxin thought it over again and again, and finally went back with her men.
Master Lu urged Liu Qiaoer: "Let's go back too, the Crown Princess is still waiting."
Liu Qiaoer looked at Lu Yunzheng deeply, then turned around and followed Master Lu back.
Lu Yunzheng no longer had the intention to leave at this time. He wanted to call Liu Qiaoer, but was stopped by Qi Ze.
"Sir, let's go first. Miss Qiao'er is so smart, she will definitely find a way to reunite with you."
Lu Yunzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Qi Ze, you stay and help the girl. I will take the others away first. When Qiao'er has a new idea, remember to let me know."
Qi Ze: “Okay.”
