When Wei Lan returned home, Lin Xia was packing her luggage.
Wei Lan stood at the door for a while, Lin Xia saw her, straightened up and said, "The prince is here? Are you looking for Ah Hua?"
Lin Xia is now in a woman's bun at home, and when she speaks, she has a little gentleness. With this appearance, she can't remember her rambunctious appearance back then.
Wei Lan opened her mouth, and finally called out: "Sister-in-law."
"Son, don't call me that," Lin Xia hurriedly waved her hand: "It's scary, just call me Lin Xia, just like before."
"Lin Xia." Wei Lan nodded, and was led into the house by Lin Xia, and finally remembered: "Where's brother?"
"Him? I went to find someone to drink."
Lin Xia smiled: "I'm going to Qingzhou tomorrow, I'm afraid he won't be able to see him."
Wei Lan responded and said, "What about you? Are you going too?"
"Go," Lin Xia pointed to the packed luggage and said, "I am the accompanying medical officer, just like him, let him go alone, I am afraid I will become a widow."
"Lin Xia," Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, "I'm really sorry that I didn't make you an imperial medical officer."
I still remember that when Lin Xia came to Shengjing, it was to recover the Lin family. But now she follows Wei Hua all day long, and she has become a military doctor long ago. The Imperial Medical Office is just looking at Wei Lan's face and giving her a name. In a few days, they will be pulled down.
Hearing Wei Lan's words, Lin Xia had nostalgia in his eyes: "In a blink of an eye, it has been almost ten years. At that time, when I was young, I was only thinking about how to help the Lin family recover. When I met Ah Hua later, I realized that, There are many more important things in life."
"Have you complained?"
For a man, give up the original ideal.
Lin Xia smiled, with tenderness in his eyes: "What is there to complain about? I know what you are thinking, you are just thinking, is it worth it for me to give up my life ambitions for A Hua? But my son, not every day Everyone has ideals, and not every ideal is sad if you don't realize it. I don't think there is anything wrong with me not being an imperial medical officer. The ideals back then were just ignorance?"
"In the beginning, I followed Wei Hua to the north. In fact, I had resentment in my heart. At that time, I was somewhat unwilling. However, I saw many soldiers on the edge of life and death in the north. Only then did I realize that compared with the prosperous Shengjing, , I’m more needed there.”
"Where to go to practice medicine is not to practice medicine, and to go to save people is not to save people? Just an order from the imperial medical office, is it considered to restore the Lin family? It's just that I am narrow-minded."
"For a doctor, it is not important to recover the Lin family. What is important is that he can do his best to help all the people I can help. Now I follow Ah Hua, because I am afraid that I will not be in time when something happens to him, and I will regret it for the rest of my life; Second, I also want to save more people. Third, now that the country is in crisis, I can help a little, just a little."
"That's great." Wei Lan smiled: "I'm afraid too, I regret it for the rest of my life."
"No." Lin Xia shook her head and said seriously: "You are the protagonists!"
Wei Lan was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help laughing.
While the two were talking, Wei Hua came back, saw Wei Lan, and asked in surprise, "Ah Lan?"
"elder brother."
Wei Lan stood up, Wei Hua immediately looked at Wei Lan's stomach, Lin Xia said beside her: "Don't look, you can't see it now."
"Wait for me to come back..." Wei Hua couldn't help but said, "Should I have my little nephew?"
After speaking, Wei Hua sighed: "I have all my nephews, but my son is nowhere to be seen."
"It will be there soon." Lin Xiabai glanced at him: "When this battle is over and we settle down, I will stop the medicine."
"Maybe?" Wei Hua looked at her stomach, then glanced at Wei Lan, a little enviously said: "What if I'm like Ah Lan...drinking the medicine..."
"Impossible!" Hearing this, Lin Xia's face darkened: "She took advantage of my absence, and the doctor Xie Zichen called her prescribed a prescription that just took away the effect of the medicine I prescribed! This matter It was definitely planned by Xie Zichen! It was premeditated!"
"Okay," Wei Hua coughed lightly, turned to look at Wei Lan and asked, "What is Ah Lan looking for?"
"It's okay," Wei Lan smiled, looking at Wei Hua who was a head taller than her, and after a while, she went up to him, hugged him, and then said, "I just wanted to visit you, now that I've seen you, That's enough."
Saying that, Wei Lan shook her hand: "I'm leaving."
After returning, Xie Zichen was ready to rest.
When Wei Lan came back, Xie Zichen didn't dare to do anything because she was pregnant. But maybe because of the parting, Wei Lan suddenly felt that he was needed very much. So Xie Zichen could only restrain himself, going in and out at the door, for fear of getting hurt too deeply.
It was almost dawn after a night, and the two of them took a rest. After sleeping for less than half an hour, it was time for Xie Zichen to set off. After the two of them washed up, Wei Lan sent Xie Zichen to the city gate. When they came to the city gate, the team was ready and the courtiers had already lined up. Wei Lan toasted Xie Zichen and said with a smile, "Thank you for your triumphant return, my lord." come back."
Xie Zichen nodded, drank the wine in one gulp, then threw the bowl on the ground, and said to the crowd: "Today Di Jie violated our country and deceived our people. I will go north. Do you know why?"
Everyone looked blank, Xie Zichen stretched out his sleeves, and raised his voice: "I am waiting here. Not only will I defend my home and country, drive out the enemies and thieves, but I will also go north to attack the enemy and restore our Han Dynasty! Gentlemen, be afraid! Of!"
"not afraid!"
A voice came out, and when everyone turned their heads, they saw a group of young men dressed as light cavalry, following behind Wang Yuan, and coming on horses. Many courtiers' expressions changed instantly. Kneeling down on one knee: "Marshal Xie, we are the children of Shengjing, and we form a light cavalry army. We want to follow the marshal and go north to defeat the enemy and restore the Han Dynasty!"
Xie Zichen raised his eyes and saw that there were not many people, but they were all descendants of nobles, and some were even legitimate sons. They were all at their best age, when they were formally flirtatious, but at this moment they were all kneeling at his feet, looking up at him expectantly.
"You know, what will you face when you go? You may never come back, and you may be buried there. But if you stay in Shengjing, you can still live the happy life you used to."
Xie Zichen spoke calmly, trying to dissuade them. These hundreds of people are not considered important, but their identities tie down the great families.
Hearing Xie Zichen's words, the faces of the fathers of these teenagers looked better, but one teenager said generously: "But, Marshal Xie, the country is in danger now, how can we live in Shengjing safely? As a noble My son, since we are born to live better than others, we naturally have to take on more responsibilities, and now that the country is in crisis, it is naturally time for us to stand up."
Those words stunned everyone present, Wei Lan took a step forward and said directly: "You guys go."
"Weilan!"
Wang Yuan's father rushed out: "You are messing around!"
"Presumptuous!" Wei Lan turned around abruptly, and said angrily, "How can I let you talk about the truth?! These young people still know that the country is in danger, and they are willing to go to the battlefield, but you still want to forcefully stop them. Do you think I am a big Chu?" Strong and prosperous, prosperous and healthy? !
Wei Lan's voice was so loud that everyone could hear it.
More and more people gathered on both sides of the road, Wei Lan stepped forward, supported Wang Yuan, and said seriously: "Everyone is loyal and righteous today, Wei Lan will not dare to forget, the land of Great Chu is prosperous because of you, Wei Lan will take care of herself." Shattered to pieces, to pave the way for the kings."
She said this with sincerity, even Wang Yuan, who didn't think much of her, was stunned, and felt that the person in front of him seemed to be really willing to tear down the bones and serve as a bridge for everyone.
When Wei Lan said so far, whoever said anything else would lose face. Xie Zichen announced his departure, and the common people followed all the way, singing the folk songs of Da Chu, and sent them away.
Many courtiers went to send them off, because their children were all gone. And Wei Lan stood at the gate of the city without looking at her. Ran Mo stared at the traveling team, not daring to blink.
"You go with it."
Wei Lan spoke suddenly, Ran Mo was a little confused: "Huh?"
"Since you miss Xie Tong, you can follow. I can't go, but you can."
"I won't go." Ran Mo lowered his head: "Now I'm left with Shizi, Shizi needs me."
"Silly boy," Wei Lan couldn't help laughing, "I'm in Shengjing, what can I do?"
"But...you're still pregnant..."
"It's just children." Wei Lan said gently: "They are more dangerous on the battlefield, you go, help me guard my sons."
When the two were talking, a young man rushed back with a horse between his legs. Ranmo heard the sound of the horse from a distance, and just raised his head, he exclaimed. The young man in black rode his horse all the way to her, panting heavily: "I'll give you two choices, marry you when I come back, or follow me now, you choose!"
Ran Mo was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, she felt a light behind her, and heard Wei Lan say decisively: "She will go with you."
After finishing speaking, she landed on the horse. Xie Tong looked at Wei Lan and said seriously, "Thank you Ma'am."
"My son..."
"Help me protect my servants."
Wei Lan opened her mouth as an order. Ran Mo pursed his lips, and Xie Tong resolutely drove his horse towards the direction of the team. Ran Mo was so startled that he hugged him and said angrily, "What are you doing?!"
"Elope with your daughter-in-law." Xie Tongzui said cheaply, his eyes flushed with anger, and his eyes stopped on the thin figure of the young man with the purple python and golden crown in front of the city gate.
Wei Lan watched everyone leave, Wang Xi came to her side, and said gently: "We are the only ones left to support Shengjing now."
As he spoke, he looked up at Wei Lan: "Are you not used to it?"
"In this life," Wei Lan shook her head, and said bitterly, "How can I always get used to my own habits?"
The two went back side by side and discussed the arrangements for the future.
While Xie Zichen and Wang Yuan drove forward, Xie Zichen asked Wang Yuan, "Why did you come?"
"We are here," Wang Yuan smiled, "Only the court can be united."
The lives of the legitimate sons of these aristocratic families are tied to the battlefield, so their parents will not intrigue in the court.
"What do you mean?" Xie Zichen was quite surprised, and Wang Yuan shook his head: "No, it was what they meant."
"Me too, I'm just a leader."
Xie Zichen was silent, and after a while, he said slowly, "I'm sorry."
"Why do you say that?" Wang Yuan was a little surprised, Xie Zichen said slowly: "My evaluation of you at the beginning should be regarded as prejudice. You deserve better praise."
Wang Yuan shook his head: "People always have a good side and a bad side. Your evaluation of me is not wrong."
Xie Zichen smiled and didn't say much.
After Xie Zichen left, Wei Lan started to accept Xie Zichen's subordinates in an all-round way, and took care of the logistics in an orderly manner. At this critical moment, no one came out to make trouble, and with many children from aristocratic families on the battlefield, the entire court was unprecedentedly efficient.
Seven days later, Xie Zichen arrived in Qingzhou. As soon as he arrived in Qingzhou, Wei Xiong returned to Shengjing. As soon as Wei Xiong arrived in Shengjing, news came back that Xie Zichen had recovered a city.
At that time, Wei Lan was playing chess with Wang Xi at home. Hearing the news that Xie Zichen had won the flag, Wang Xi suddenly got up and said happily, "Win?!"
Before Xie Zichen arrived, the entire battlefield, Huanheng's side was as stable as Mount Tai, and Qingzhou lost three cities in a row. Overall, he had never won. With expectations.
Wei Lan's expression didn't move, Wang Xi said joyfully, "Alan, aren't you happy?"
"Happy," Wei Lan raised her hand and dropped a pawn, "But this is just the beginning."
Wang Xi was not in the mood to play chess anymore, and said to Wei Lan, "I'll go back and share the news with everyone, so I won't accompany you today."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xi hurried away. When Wang Xi left, Wei Xiong, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Wei Lan and said, "Sister, you took the wrong chess."
Wei Lan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, threw the chess piece into the box, stood up, rubbed Wei Xiong's head, and looked to the north with his hands behind his back: "Got it."
"Sister," Wei Xiong stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and said slowly, "As soon as my brother-in-law comes, I know he will win."
"How do you say it?" Wei Lan turned her gaze and became interested. Wei Xiong smiled, with reverence in his eyes: "Because when my brother-in-law came, almost all of them stayed awake to rectify the affairs of the army, inquire about news, and make plans with the soldiers. Strategy, sleep for one or two hours a day. I asked him why he worked so hard, and he told me that he couldn’t lose.”
"If he loses, there is no need to fight, and his family will be ruined."
As he said that, Wei Xiong set his eyes on Wei Lan's stomach, and said gently: "Brother-in-law is really a very responsible man."
If it were him, he might not want the pressure.
Hearing Wei Xiong's words, Wei Lan couldn't help but raised her hand to touch her slightly raised belly, and said gently: "Yes, he is a very responsible man."
Xie Zichen defended firmly, he did not attack, but just guarded the city.
Rong Hua's army of one million came from the north, they needed a huge amount of military pay, and they traveled long distances, Xie Zichen was planning to delay them to death.
Rong Hua sensed Xie Zichen's intentions, and made several strong attacks, but Xie Zichen firmly blocked them. Rong Hua couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and his march became a little impetuous.
Huan Heng and the others didn't dare to provoke them, they just wanted to restrain Huan Heng and prevent him from coming to the north. Xie Zichen, who had just entered the battlefield, was their only breakthrough.
Everyone knew this, so they failed to attack several times, and the entire southern court was full of confidence in Xie Zichen, so they were also full of confidence in the whole battle situation, and there was no anxiety at the beginning when they heard that Rong Hua came with a million troops .
Wei Lan is very vigilant about this, the more relaxed she is, the easier it is for accidents to happen. But at this time, her stomach was already growing, and she needs someone to support her every day when she walks, and she feels tired after doing more casually, and dare not go to the court, so she can only hide behind the curtain to meet with the staff, declaring to the outside world that she is infected with a serious disease .
Wang Xi wanted to see her several times, but was turned away, and the interview was also through a curtain, which made Wang Xi very puzzled. Fortunately, Xie Yulan explained the situation to Wang Xi, Wei Lan's serious illness is shameful now, and she might infect Wang Xi. Only then did Wang Xi understand.
In Wei Lan's absence, Wang Xi and Wang Chengxiang presided over the overall situation. Fortunately, the Xie family supported the scene so that the Wang family would not be turned upside down when Wei Lan was not around.
The Xie family attaches great importance to Wei Lan now, and Xie Jue will go up to visit every three days, to see his good grandson who has not yet been born, and to listen to Wei Lan's orders.
Wei Lan will control how the Xie family scolds and beats tomorrow.
After Wei Lan's stomach died in August, it happened to be the end of summer, and there was heavy rain. One night, Wei Lan dreamed that a mountain torrent collapsed and the flood was raging. She woke up suddenly, but there was no one around her.
She felt extremely flustered, so she sent people to get news of the battlefield overnight.
When Wei Lan woke up, Rong Hua vomited blood again. The imperial doctors gathered around, looked at Rong Hua and said, "Your Highness, you really can't delay any longer. You should go back to Di Jie."
"No..." Rong Hua gasped and wiped her lips with a handkerchief: "No... this king... must go to Shengjing to recuperate!"
As he said this, a dusty soldier rushed in.
"Your Highness, urgent report!"
The soldier knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "General Sinan said that Your Highness can leave now."
Hearing this, Rong Hua laughed out loud.
"Okay... very good!"
Rong Hua's eyes showed a sinister look, he supported his body and said: "Ajie, order one hundred thousand elite soldiers, follow me."
"Your Highness," Cui Jie was stunned, "Where are you going?!"
"You don't need to ask any more questions," Rong Hua said with a calm expression. He had just recovered and was in good spirits. He said directly, "Just go."
Cui Jie didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly went out to order troops. He originally wanted to send a letter to Xie Zichen quickly, but as soon as he came out, Cui Jie felt a breath following him.
Rong Hua actually sent someone to follow him!
Because Cui Jie had never shown his martial arts in front of Rong Hua, Rong Hua only sent an ordinary guard to follow him. After Cui Jie found out, he couldn't help being secretly shocked.
Rong Hua sent people to follow him for two reasons. First, he began to suspect him; test him. "
Whatever the reason, it's not a good reason.
Cui Jie didn't dare to act rashly, and ordered soldiers honestly. According to Rong Hua's body, at least he had to recuperate before leaving in the middle of the night. Who would have thought that Rong Hua would walk out directly. With the doctor and maid, he said directly: "Let's go."
This time, Cui Jie was completely shocked.
"Your Highness!" Cui Jie followed Ronghua's carriage and said anxiously, "Are you desperate?!"
"Yes." Rong Hua looked to the south with fanaticism in his eyes, and slowly said in the swaying carriage: "I want the world and life."
