Xue Han felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She drank too much medicine and her mouth was tasteless. After drinking the medicine, she said worriedly, "My parents should know about our assassination by now. I don't know if they can bear it."
Rong Chuan hummed, "We are fine, so Mom and Dad can rest assured. I am worried about the border."
Xue Han thought about the battle and the bitter taste in her mouth was no longer bitter. "Ah."
The next day, Prince Liang was the one to lead the troops. The adults felt a little complicated for a moment. It was expected, but also a little surprising that the Supreme Emperor would agree.
The emperor stood and said, "I will meet you at the city gate when you return victoriously."
He really wanted his younger brother to lead the troops to fight. He was not afraid of his younger brother's military achievements. His younger brother was his biological brother and he was willing to trust him. What's more, his younger brother always knew what to do and what not to do.
His younger brother was seriously injured, so he was thinking about who would be suitable to lead the troops. The King of Qi was out of the question. He had already asked his younger brother to lead Xu Chen, so it was impossible for the King of Qi to add more military merits.
The King of Chu is not suited to lead troops. In fact, the King of Liang is the most suitable. The King of Liang is in poor health. If he leads troops to fight, he will not be well again when he returns. Military merit is just a guarantee to the Prince of Liang's Mansion.
King Liang was wearing armor, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
The emperor called for his generals again, and the generals followed King Liang to stand out. The emperor put his hands behind his back and said, "I will wait for you to return victoriously."
Zhou Shuren was excited. When Wu Chun was fighting, he had no contact with the court and only heard about the war. Now that he was involved, his blood began to flow faster as he followed the generals' shouts.
This feeling can’t be experienced by watching TV dramas!
The troops were assembled yesterday, and food and other supplies will be delivered in succession. The army will set out tomorrow.
Li Zhao was very busy. After leaving the court, he couldn't help but ask quietly, "If we fight on two fronts, there must be enough food and grass!"
He knew that the emperor had prepared food and fodder, but there was a flood and food was needed everywhere, so he was really afraid of a shortage of food and fodder.
Zhou Shuren, "Yeah."
Li Zhao felt relieved. Zhou Shuren's words were reassuring. "Then I'll go first."
Zhou Shuren had already simulated in his mind how to ensure efficient logistics. He had already made the arrangements yesterday and was in no hurry to leave.
Wang Ju trotted over and said, "You were too busy yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to talk to you. The King of Qin was assassinated, and the floods in the south will cause chaos. Your third son is in Qizhou, and I don't know how he is doing."
The place where his son is is safe and there are no floods. The only thing he is worried about is this year's grain production. The Zhou family is different. Zhou Changlian is in Qizhou where the flood occurred.
Zhou Shuren frowned, "Because of the inconvenience of transmitting news about the flood, I don't know the news from Qizhou. Let's wait. If there is really chaos, news will be transmitted to the capital in a few days."
Wang Ju was worried. The two families were in-laws, and the Wang family hoped that everything would be well for the Zhou family. Zhou Changlian had come this far, and he couldn't fail at this hurdle. "My son is not far from Qizhou. Do you want me to ask him about it?"
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "No need."
This is a test for Chang Lian. If he cannot pass this hurdle, it only means that Chang Lian is not capable enough.
In Qizhou, Chang Lian stayed by the prefect's side all night without sleeping, fearing that something bad might happen to him. As soon as the prefect moved his hand, he noticed it and said, "Doctor Xu, Doctor."
Doctor Xu was standing guard in the hall. He came in upon hearing the noise, stretched out his hand to feel the patient's pulse, and his face showed joy. "The prefect is fine now."
Chang Lian also smiled, "Okay, okay."
The advantage of the court's control over medical clinics is that when the prefect is poisoned, he can find a doctor who has studied poisons immediately and the treatment can be quick. Even if the poison is severe, the prefect can be saved in time with medicine.
Chang Lian signaled the servant to go home and get the herbs. These were for the doctor. The doctor didn't want any treatment fees, and he wouldn't be stingy.
Mrs. Dong saw Fen Mo and asked, "But what happened to the master?"
The situation outside the city yesterday spread throughout the city. She knew that the prefect had been assassinated, and her husband was on the city wall to comfort the people on behalf of the prefect. She almost fainted, and she was afraid that something else might happen, so she stayed there all night.
Fenmo said: "My Lord, everything is fine. The prefect is fine. My Lord asked me to come back to get the herbs."
Dong was stunned. "Medicinal herbs?"
Fen Mo said that it was for Doctor Xu. Dong was not a drag. She opened the box of medicine without hesitation and took out the hundred-year-old ginseng and selected some other herbs. "Take these back."
Fen Mo was dumbfounded, "Too many."
Dong smiled and said, "It's not much, you can take it over."
Naturally, she had to make friends with a doctor who could detoxify. She was really scared that the prefect was poisoned this time, and for the sake of her husband, no amount of sacrifice would be enough.
Chang Lian smiled when he saw the herbs Fen Mo brought back, "Doctor Xu, don't refuse. This is a gift from me."
Doctor Xu had already made up his mind to refuse. The prefect was a good person, but he didn't want money for the detoxification, let alone the medicinal materials. But when he saw the well-preserved century-old ginseng, Doctor Xu could no longer say no.
Chang Lian signaled Fen Mo to see Doctor Xu off. He still had official business to attend to after Doctor Xu left. Yes, there were also the refugees outside the city. They had finally become well behaved after being hungry for a whole day. They lined up in an orderly manner when food was distributed in the morning. They were indeed just full and bored.
Chang Lian narrowed his eyes. The daily food ration had to be reduced, and they had to find some people to publicize why it was reduced. It was all caused by unscrupulous people. He didn't believe that no one would report it.
In the capital, Zhulan was walking in the garden and saw Yuyi sitting in the pavilion, staring at the lake in a daze.
Yuyi came back to her senses when she heard the girl's greeting, "Grandma."
Zhulan saw the green in Yuyi's eyes and asked, "Are you worried about your parents?"
Yuyi nodded, "Yes, I haven't received any letters from my parents for some time, and my granddaughter is worried."
She now wanted to receive a letter from her parents, but was afraid that it would be bad news. She didn't dare to sleep for fear of having nightmares.
Zhulan sat down and said, "Grandma is glad that you can see the danger of Qizhou from the situation."
Yuwen doesn't want to think about the granddaughters in the family, as her personality is like Changzhi. Anwen doesn't want to use her brain, and Yudie can't think of anything. Only Yuyi can see everything.
Yuyi was very anxious. "Grandma, my granddaughter has never seen a riot, but she has heard of the dangers. Dad will be safe, right?"
Zhulan hugged Yuyi. The child did not dare to show her worry in front of her sister and brother. Anxiety is contagious. Yuyi was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. "Well, your father has a plan. He will protect your mother. They will all be safe."
Yuyi leaned on her grandmother's arms, "Yeah, Dad is awesome."
Zhulan smiled. Yuyi admired her father very much. "Yes, your father is very powerful."
After a while, Yuyi fell asleep. Zhulan blocked the old woman's hand. The child felt insecure now and would wake up if he moved. It was better for him to sleep peacefully for a while after finally falling asleep.
I motioned to Qingxue to get the cloak. The wind was still a little strong in the pavilion. Qingxue came back quickly with a summer cloak in her hand.
Zhulan gestured to put it on Qingxue. Fortunately, it was not too hot in the morning, so Yuyi could have a good sleep.
