Xiao Xinning bit her lip and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm a little worried."
When she said this, Xie Ruzhuo understood. Emperor Jing now does everything personally. As his daughter, it would be strange if Xiao Xinning wasn't worried.
After thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo patted her hand comfortingly and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. Who is my father? He also fought on the battlefield back then. He has never experienced any big winds and waves, so how can he be afraid of this."
Although she said this, Xiao Xinning's expression still did not soften at all. After all, Emperor Jing was a loving father to her. They said that the love between father and daughter was deep and that family ties could never change.
But for this kind of thing, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't give her much comfort. In this critical moment, Xiao Junxi can no longer pretend to be a sick person and just sit back and watch.
She is also very worried about her own husband. Even if she comforts others, how can she feel at ease herself
For a moment, the two women, who had their own concerns, fell silent for a rare moment.
Suddenly he heard footsteps hurriedly passing by not far away. Xiao Xinning looked up and a joyful look appeared on his face, "Hey, idiot, where are you going?"
Xiao Xinning was injured on her arm a few days ago. Li Jie felt guilty and visited her more often. Although his words were still a bit indifferent, his expression was much softer than before.
Li Jie followed the rules and went forward to say hello, "I want to say hello to Princess Jing. I've met the Seventh Princess."
After finishing the ceremony, he answered Xiao Xinning's question, "I am going to see the emperor to discuss important matters."
Seeing that he had something serious to do, Xiao Xinning was sensible and didn't pester him. After all, he couldn't rest assured and told him, "Then go ahead and be careful along the way."
Li Jie nodded, smiled at Xiao Xinning, and then turned around and left.
Xiao Xinning stared at his limp back, unable to recover for a moment. After a while, he turned back to look at Xie Ruzhuo and said with some disbelief, "Sister-in-law, you just saw him smiling at me!"
Seeing her smiling sweetly like a child eating candy, Xie Ruzhuo also smiled and said, "I see, I see, she was smiling at you alone."
This girl, a smile can make her happy for a long time, she is so heartless.
Xiao Xinning heard the joking tone in her words, and immediately said not to be outdone, "I don't know who I was back then, but I could still have fun for half a day holding my brother's letters. Humph."
Seeing that this girl was so arrogant, Xie Ruzhuo was speechless for a while, then he poked her smooth forehead and said, "My little ancestor cannot afford to suffer. Let's go and look around. Is there anything you need help with?" Yes."
The previous sneak attack failed and a group of wounded soldiers were brought back. Although there are military doctors in the army, they are not enough. Xie Ruzhuo had learned some medical skills from Wen Ruyu before, and after seeing the wounded, he immediately donated all his medicine powder.
The military doctor accompanying the army was over fifty years old. When he saw these medicines, he immediately knew that they were rare and good things. He immediately stood up, bowed and thanked you, "I respect the princess for your kindness and generosity. I would like to thank you on behalf of these soldiers!" "
Xie Ruzhuo was so busy that he helped him up and said, "You're welcome, Dr. Wang. I have just studied medical skills with my master for a few years. Is there anything I can help with here?"
Hearing this, Doctor Wang looked at her in surprise. After seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he immediately felt admiration and said, "In that case, thank you Princess."
There are indeed not enough manpower now, but Dr. Wang is not confused, and naturally he will not let Xie Ruzhuo really come into contact with those injured. I just gave her the polishing of some herbs and asked her to find a few more people to help.
Xie Ruzhuo naturally agreed, and took the maids she had brought along with her. They were grinding powder and making medicine in a tent nearby.
Xiao Xinning was originally planning to follow him, but someone suddenly grabbed her by the hem of her clothes. She looked down and immediately met a pair of bloody eyes, shouting, "It hurts."
He was still a child, he looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. His arm was slashed with a knife, and blood splattered on his face. He has been bandaged, but where is the temporary station where there is so much water to wash his face. So the blood stains at this moment condensed into Jia, which looked particularly oozing.
This was the first time for Xiao Xinning to see bloody injuries. The fishy smell in the air made her nauseous, but the painful expressions of those in front of her made her feel very sad.
Xiao Xinning lowered her body, took out the handkerchief in her hand, held the boy's hand with one hand, and gently wiped his face with the other hand, coaxing, "Don't be afraid, you won't be in pain after you sleep. "
The boy saw her gentle eyebrows, grinned, and actually fell asleep under her coaxing.
It wasn't until the boy let go of his hand that Xiao Xinning stood up from the ground. Her hem was stained with mud and was already a little dirty, and there was even some blood on her hands, but Xiao Xinning seemed to be unaware and walked out dragging her sore feet.
But as soon as she went out, the tears couldn't help but fall down one by one.
If it hadn't been for the sneak attack last night, this child would still be fine. These soldiers will not be injured either.
For the first time, she deeply hated Xiao Junyi and also hated the war.
If it weren't for Xiao Junyi's own selfish interests, how could he put these people in dire straits!
When Li Jie came back from the main tent, he saw Xiao Xinning squatting on the roadside. She curled up into a ball, like an abandoned little animal.
He felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and walked over involuntarily, patted Xiao Xinning's shoulder, and asked hesitantly, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the voice of the visitor, Xiao Xinning raised his head. His eyes were washed by tears, but they looked particularly clear.
Seeing this, Li Jie suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He subconsciously helped her up and asked again, "But who bullied you?"
Unexpectedly, the next moment Xiao Xinning threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
Different from the previous sobs, this time Xiao Xinning cried particularly fiercely, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Li Jie froze and did not dare to move. He kept his hands straight and let the girl in front of him cry in his arms.
It wasn't until a long time that Xiao Xinning raised her head from his arms and looked at him with tearful eyes, apparently regaining some consciousness, "Why are you here?"
Li Jie awkwardly handed her a handkerchief and explained, "I just came back from the emperor. I was thinking about the raid last night and there were a lot of wounded soldiers, so I was afraid that there were not enough manpower. Who knew -" Who knew that when he arrived, he saw a little girl there? Crying here.
He didn't have the courage to say the next words, but Xiao Xinning understood. She looked at him with some resentment, picked up the handkerchief he gave and wiped his face.
The man's handkerchief has a natural and sharp fragrance. Unlike the nerdy air he has all over, this handkerchief smells particularly good. Xiao Xinning sniffed it inadvertently, wiped her face before returning it to him and said, "Nuo, give it back to you."
Xiao Xinning was used to being carefree and naturally didn't think much about it, but Li Jie's face turned red and he said, "No, princess, just take it and use it."
Xiao Xinning glanced at him in confusion before reacting belatedly. She is a woman, and it is a bit ambiguous no matter how you look at it, returning something that a woman has used.
Thinking about it, Xiao Xinning laughed again and said, "Looking at your cautious look, you are really a nerd. That's all, I'll give you a new one later."
As soon as she said this, Li Jie was even more at a loss. He suddenly changed the subject, "The princess was crying so sadly just now, but what happened?"
This topic really didn't go well. As soon as he said it, Xiao Xinning's face suddenly darkened. Just when Li Jie was regretting mentioning this matter, he heard Xiao Xinning say quietly, "I used to think that the emperor's anger and his body floating hundreds of miles away was just an exaggeration, but now I know that the fight for power by those in power will hurt everyone in the end." It’s common people!”
As she said that, she looked at Li Jie with some sadness, bit her lip and asked, "Is this how power can destroy someone easily?"
When she was young, even though Xiao Junyi had a bad temper, she still favored her sister most of the time.
But the older he gets, the more distant he becomes from himself.
Now, there is a rebellion, and it is his own father who is rebelling! Does the word power really have such great charm
Li Jie looked at her tangled look and immediately understood her pain. One is the father and the other is the brother. Tianjia enjoys the top splendor and wealth in the world, but there is also filth and filth inside that no one else knows about.
They tend to be more ruthless than others.
Li Jie couldn't help but comfort him, "Your Majesty is a wise king, and this matter will eventually pass."
This was what he said sincerely. Ever since he entered the court as an official, Li Jie had witnessed Emperor Jing's style and was thankful that he was a wise king. Even though what happened to the fifth prince is abominable, after the matter calms down, the Holy Emperor will give an explanation to the whole world.
It's just the poor soldiers who were affected.
Li Jie is really not good at comforting people. At least after Xiao Xinning heard this, not only did she not laugh, but she looked straight at her, which made Li Jie's whole body feel hairy.
"Then let me ask you, what about you?"
Xiao Xinning looked at Li Jie with a forced look, and added, "It's the same in the harem, and it's the same in the officialdom. The fight for fame and fortune will never stop, will you change?"
She was suddenly a little scared. What would happen to her if Li Jie in front of her looked like that one day
Li Jie looked at her firmly and said seriously, "I don't know how. Since Li Jie is a man, he will do things aboveboard and aboveboard!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xinning suddenly smiled, and a sea of flowers seemed to bloom in his eyes, which made Li Jie stunned again and again.
Xiao Xinning scolded, "What an idiot." He raised the handkerchief and said, "I'll pay it back to you another day." Then he turned around and left.
Knowing that Xiao Xinning had been gone for a long time, he did not react. What did Xiao Xinning mean by what he said just now
Not to mention whether the idiot Li Jie finally understood Xiao Xinning's meaning, he just said that after Xiao Xinning returned, he cleaned the handkerchief himself and put it under his pillow with a satisfied smile on his face.
Xie Ruzhuo had been grinding medicinal materials in the camp during the day. When he went back at night, his body was filled with the bitterness and aroma of the medicinal materials.
As soon as Xiao Junxi returned, she smelled the smell and asked with a smile, "What did Zhuo'er do today?"
Xie Ruzhuo explained what happened during the day, raised his head and said with a smile, "Am I helping today?"
