Not long after the Fifth Prince left, Zhao Qingxi came to the East Palace.
I haven't seen her for more than ten days, Zhao Qingxi is pale and thin. The official robe that was ordered earlier is now wearing loosely on her body, and it looks like it will fall down when the wind blows.
Huayan was shocked when she saw her, and she was also shocked when she saw Huayan.
Zhao Qingxi knew that Huayan had contracted a cold and could not go to the morning court, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Seeing her now, he asked nervously, "Crown princess, it's been more than ten days, why are you still not recovering?" How to do it if you get sick, what the doctor said"
Hua Yan asked her to sit down with a smile, and told her what she said to the Fifth Prince.
Zhao Qingxi is no easier to fool than the fifth prince, she always feels that something is wrong, Huayan's appearance is really worrying, she lowered her voice, "Crown princess, if there is something, you can't hide it, is it because the medicinal materials in the Eastern Palace are not enough? Or some good medicine is hard to find.”
She knew that in the past six months, no matter whether it was the imperial pharmacy or the East Palace, the medicines were very expensive, and countless good medicines would be gone within a few days. Now that Huayan is sick, if it is a rare medicine that is not available in the East Palace, she would not dare to post the imperial list to ask for medicine, lest His Royal Highness find out and disturb his heart.
Huayan shook her head, and said with a smile, "My physical condition is not very good, a cold, more than ten days is not a long time, don't worry, there will be a day, there is no disease in the world that he can't cure. "
Zhao Qingxi looked at Mother Fang who was waiting on the side, "Come on, Mother."
Nanny Fang is also in a hurry these days, and she also faintly feels that something is wrong with Huayan's body. She didn't have a fever a few days ago, but she has developed a fever in the past two days. Although it is not high, it is not a good thing for a low-grade fever , but even if she told Zhao Qingxi, Mr. Zhao is not a doctor, so he must be anxious and helpless.
So, following Huayan's words, she said, "Go back to Mr. Zhao, the genius doctor said there is no serious problem."
Zhao Qingxi could only nod his head, and changed the subject seriously, "Crown Princess, I just got the news that you and the Fifth Prince sent Xia Ze and the Eleventh Prince to the Valley of Divine Doctors. , I dare not say that I am proficient in the art of war, but it is also very deep."
Huayan shook her head, "At first I thought about you going, but after thinking about it, I think you should stay in the capital. Now that 70,000 soldiers and horses from the inner city have been transferred, only 10,000 soldiers and horses are left in the capital, as you have seen , I am in the army, I have enough heart but not enough strength, if someone takes the opportunity to break the road and attack the capital, just in case, the capital must send troops and generals."
Zhao Qingxi originally planned to persuade Huayan to let her go to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, but now hearing what she said, she immediately gave up her mind and nodded, "What the Crown Princess said is that if this is the case, I will not ask for help. From today onwards, I will stay in the East Palace."
Huayan's safety and health are the top priority now, if something happens to her and His Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince will probably go crazy. Su Zizhe didn't need to work too hard, I'm afraid he would win without a fight. Nan Chu cannot do without the Crown Princess, and even more so, cannot do without His Highness the Crown Prince.
Huayan nodded, "Okay, if there is nothing to do in the Zhao residence, you will live in the East Palace, and you will be the backbone."
That day, after Xia Ze and the Eleventh Prince came to see Huayan in a hurry, they asked for a few words of advice from Huayan, and hurriedly left the capital together with the staff of the East Palace with 70,000 soldiers from the inner city, and went to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors.
Yun Yi still didn't listen to Hua Yan's arrangement, she didn't follow, and sent several twelve cloud guards to follow. He always remembered that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left Beijing, he gave him the order to die. In any case, even if it was the order of the Crown Princess, everything else could be obeyed. The only thing was that he could not leave her side, especially now that the Crown Princess was so ill. Then, the situation was not good, so he knelt in front of Huayan to plead guilty, let Huayan take back her life and let someone else go.
Huayan didn't expect that Yunchi would issue such an order, and it wasn't that Yunyi had to protect Xia Ze and the eleventh prince. She pushed Yunyi away with a little selfishness. Yun Yi told Yun Chi that if Yun Chi's heart was disturbed, it would be over.
So, she looked at Yunyi, sullenly, and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to go to the Godly Doctor Valley, but you must promise me one thing. Without my permission, you are not allowed to inform His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if I am bedridden hour."
Yun Yi looked at Hua Yan with a pale face. The princess had been ill these days, and he also felt that something was wrong. He didn't know whether to report to His Highness. Now he dare not agree to Hua Yan, struggling endlessly.
Seeing that he was loyal to Yunchi, Huayan didn't feel sorry for him, "I didn't say anything would happen to me, but he was far away in Guanling Mountain, and he was focused on dealing with Su Zizhe. You know how difficult Su Zizhe is to deal with. The sky is always here, and it is impossible for me to have an accident. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, don't pass on news of me to him. If you can't even do this, it will harm your Highness. Even if he is by my side, I will If there is anything, he can't do anything."
Yun Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "This subordinate listens to the Crown Princess."
Huayan breathed a sigh of relief.
After 70,000 soldiers and horses left the inner city, it suddenly became empty. All the major mansions got the news that they knew that the soldiers and horses in the inner city had been transferred, but they didn't know where they were transferred. However, since the emperor and the fifth prince didn't discuss this matter at court, they kept silent for a while and dared not talk about it.
A few of the people noticed that the defense in the city was sparse, but other than that, everything was in order.
Huayan made a decree, ordering Zhao Qingxi to assist in the deployment of soldiers and horses in the inner city. Although the court was quite surprised, they did not raise any doubts. Now all the courtiers knew that the Crown Princess was ill and hadn't recovered in more than ten days, and the emperor ordered repeatedly not to disturb the Crown Princess's cultivation. It was rare for the courtiers to remain unanimous and have no objection, but hoped that the Crown Princess would get better soon.
In today's capital, after the rebellious officials and thieves have been cleared away, the courtiers have no dissent, and naturally they all look forward to the well-being of Nanchu, the Crown Princess, and His Highness the Crown Prince who is far away to quell the chaos, and look forward to An Zaifu and General Mei. Well, I look forward to the court quelling the civil strife soon.
Five days later, Huayan's fever still persisted, and she was top-heavy and had no energy to even get out of bed.
After all, the queen mother has lived her whole life, and Huayan, who is like a mirror in her heart, has something to hide, even the sky is endless. Huayan's body is not as good as she said. It's been nearly twenty days, and it's getting worse day by day. She's not blind, she can tell.
She didn't dare to shed tears in front of Huayan, and asked the sky behind Huayan's back.
Mrs. Jing Guogong was terrified every day when she looked at Huayan, and she also followed the Queen Mother, wanting to ask clearly and see what was going on with Huayan's body.
Tian Bubu's hair was numb from being questioned by the two women, and it was also because Huayan's current situation was so difficult that he wanted to scratch his scalp off. In the end, she stomped her feet, "When she was in the Northland, she exhausted her original spiritual power in order to save the people and protect the reputation of His Highness the Prince's benevolence. Now this is a backlash. You ask me, and I don't understand it. If I can explain it clearly, I will Rescue can cure her. It’s useless if you force me, or you can save her yourself.”
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth trembled, her body trembled, and Mrs. Jing Guogong's wife was pale, and she was speechless for a while.
At this moment, someone from outside hurried to Fenghuang Dongyuan, "Report to the Crown Princess, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses flying the banner of the King of Lingnan 30 miles outside the city."
Mother Fang wanted to stop her with a voice, but the messenger reported too quickly, and when she hurried out the door, the messenger had finished reporting. Mother Fang turned pale, and asked anxiously to the messenger, "Why are there 50,000 Lingnan soldiers who came 30 miles away, are you sure you read that right?"
The messenger soldier cupped his hands, "It's absolutely true, I never made a mistake."
Nanny Fang stomped her feet and ran back to the house.
Huayan was falling asleep drowsily, when she heard the voice being woken up, she opened her eyes and heard what the messenger said clearly, she slowly struggled to sit up, Fang Nanny rushed into the room, saw Huayan She was already awake, and quickly reached out to help her up, "Crown Princess, don't worry, the messenger said that there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not so easy to attack."
Huayan didn't say much, she just supported her forehead and said weakly, "Help me out of bed, I'll go out and have a look."
Mother Fang immediately advised, "You should lie down, the fifth prince is here, and Mr. Zhao and Mr. Gu are here, you"
"If you dare to bring 50,000 soldiers to the capital, they must be 50,000 elite soldiers. Moreover, the people who lead the soldiers must be very powerful. I am afraid that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Gu are not opponents. The fifth prince is not deep in the art of war and does not know how to use soldiers. Don't worry, my own body knows that it's fine and can still move. I want to go out and have a look. I want to know who got the news that the inner city soldiers and horses have been transferred in such a timely manner. I took this opportunity to come to the capital. Take the bottom line."
Nanny Fang could only help Huayan get up, dressed her properly, and helped her out of the room.
Hua Yan came to the door, looked at the messenger and asked, "You said fifty thousand soldiers were flying the Lingnan flag, but who is leading the troops?"
The messenger soldier shook his head, "Go back to the princess, I haven't found out yet."
"Continue to investigate," Huayan ordered, "Find out and report to me."
The messenger should be, and went immediately.
