In another place, in another position, Xiaocao was not sure whether he would have the intention to kill the person who was seeking medical treatment now. After all, Qi Chao and Liu Kai had been in hostility for a hundred years, and the hostility would only stop when one side completely subdued the other.
But now, the people of Liuqi really cannot die, especially those of noble status. If people die in Qi Chao, it may give Liuqi an excuse to launch a large-scale invasion of Qi Chao. Although Qi Chao is not afraid, if the two countries really go to war on a large scale, it will inevitably bring heavy losses in manpower, material resources, and financial resources in all aspects.
Although Emperor Xuanren attached great importance to the development of the army, Xiaocao could feel that he was not actually a warlike emperor. A strong army was not necessarily for the purpose of invasion, but could also be for deterrence. True peace in the world was never achieved by words.
Therefore, if there is a chance, Qi Chao would very much want to kill Liu Kar, the ambitious man who is always eyeing him covetously, even if it would also come at a heavy price, a temporary price for the sake of long-term peace. I believe that even the entire Dingbei Army would have the same idea - too many of them have a blood feud with Liu Kar.
Xiaocao finally agreed to go, and the people of Liuqi were naturally overjoyed, at least on the surface.
It was just that she had just started dressing up. It would be inappropriate and inconvenient to go to see a doctor in a formal dress. It would also be a waste of time to come back and change after the doctor's visit. The clothes were sent from the princess's mansion, so she simply let them take them directly to the palace later.
There was no morning court today, and there was no need to go to the government office. Wenren Taibo was naturally still at home. A male guest came to visit, but he did not show up. He only asked someone to notify Xiaocao to meet the guest in the guest room. However, when he came out of the guest room, Wenren Taibo was standing in the corridor outside.
"father."
In addition, officials from both Liuqi and Qichao were busy paying their respects.
Taibo looked at Xiaocao with gentle eyes, "Xuan'er, are you going to the posthouse?" Then he moved slightly to the side, glanced at the Liuqie officials, and became cold in an instant.
Xiao Cao nodded. "From what I've heard, it shouldn't be a big problem. I'll just go there."
"The Liuqi delegation has not been quiet since the day before yesterday. I heard that they have been looking for trouble along the way."
Of course Liuka refused to admit this, but the Liuka official couldn't help blushing.
This method really feels too childish and low, just like when one cannot win with fists, one simply takes advantage of the opponent with words. Compared with Qi Chao, it is definitely inferior.
"Don't prescribe medicine or use needles casually, otherwise if something goes wrong later, you might be blamed for it."
Official Liu Qian instantly became embarrassed and annoyed, "Your Excellency is overthinking, our princess only has a small problem..."
"Since it's just a small problem, can't you solve it by yourselves? Are your doctors in Liuqi so useless? Otherwise, they are just looking for trouble again, just like the night before, and this time, they are directly looking for trouble with our Princess Qichao."
The officials of Liuqi regretted their trip. They finally got the principal to agree, but the father...
Xiaocao was very unhappy because the officials of Qi Dynasty were bullied, including her own father. She didn't feel much about it herself. Wenren Taibo felt the same as Xiaocao. In his opinion, Liuqi was really looking for trouble on purpose and wanted to humiliate his daughter in this way. His temper was a little out of control.
Rokugai officials want to explain...
Xiaocao walked towards Wenren Taibo, and the others were interrupted.
"Dad, it's okay. If Princess Liuqi is really sick, just take a look. If she is not sick," Xiaocao laughed, "I'm afraid there is no disease that can be hidden from my eyes nowadays. And if you joke about this kind of thing..." It is not difficult to make her really sick and experience it deeply.
Seeing Xiaocao's smile, Wenren Taibo's anger also dissipated a little, "Okay, go ahead, the sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."
"I won't come back. I'll just go to the palace directly."
"That's fine too."
Unlike some previous "emergency" situations where the carriage moved very quickly, the speed of the carriage was two minutes slower than usual.
When Xiaocao slowly entered the inn, Princess Lanqi was being supported by a servant and walked towards the bed. Her face was covered with red spots and her lips were pale. She looked very weak, and her legs seemed to be shaking when she walked. She did not have the vigor and vitality of yesterday at all.
OK, confirmed, this is not fake.
Princess Lanqi looked at Xiaocao, not knowing whether she was in great pain or not, as the emotion in her eyes was not very obvious.
Princess Lanqi had no intention of greeting or even speaking, but the others in the room did not dare to be so rude. Correspondingly, Xiaocao stood still steadily. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Yesterday, the princess told me, 'There will always be a chance to disturb me'. This is really true. It's only been a few hours."
Princess Lanqi had said something harsh at that time, but now Xiaocao used it to choke her. She wanted to argue with Xiaocao, but unfortunately, she was not in the right mood. Even if she said the harshest words, it would probably be in a cowardly tone. In addition, she still hoped to attend today's birthday banquet, and Xiaocao was her last hope. She knew in her heart that if she said anything to annoy him now, she would be the only one in trouble. Princess Lanqi might be a little arrogant, but she was not stupid.
However, it is also unrealistic to ask someone like her to bow her head and speak softly.
However, if you don't say anything, Princess Anguo will be more stable. For Xiaocao, the current situation will at most waste some more time. But it's different for Princess Lanqi. During the confrontation, you can see that Princess Lanqi's beautiful and rebellious face twisted, and she subconsciously covered her stomach.
Even if she didn't feel the urge to defecate immediately, it would definitely be uncomfortable enough. This was not the key point. The key point was that her "enemy" was standing right in front of her, looking at her with a smile, as if he knew everything. It was more embarrassing than ever, and made her feel uncomfortable with a burning fire in her heart.
At this moment, Princess Lanqi felt that finding this woman might be a very wrong decision.
However, if we chase them away at this time, we will only suffer a greater loss.
"Thank you Princess Anguo for making a special trip." Princess Lanqi said almost gritting her teeth.
"Princess Lanqi, there's no need to be so polite. After all, you are a girl. It really hurts to see you suffer like this." Xiaocao said this but still stood there motionless.
So, if it's so obvious, why are you still standing there? Do you have to let her ask for help? Princess Lanqi's face was about to twist again, "Princess Anguo, do you know what you are here for?"
Xiao Cao tilted her head, as if with a little innocence, "Maybe he came to visit Princess Lanqi of Liuqi on behalf of Qi Chao?"
If you have to say this, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, and it can even be said to be very reasonable.
Because of all the discomfort, her emotional control was naturally not so perfect. Princess Lanqi was on the verge of losing control and getting furious. She might even blurt out the word "get out" the next moment.
Xiao Cao turned around when she heard footsteps. It was a handsome man with a slender figure. He smiled and bowed slightly to Xiao Cao. "Six-cut Xiao Yu, the second son of the emperor, Princess Anguo greets you."
This was another person who spoke the official language of the Qi Dynasty quite fluently. He did not have the roughness of the Liuqi people, but rather had the appearance and figure of a Qi Dynasty person. Coupled with his etiquette, he gave people the impression that if it were not for his unmistakable Liuqi person attire, many people would probably mistake him for a Qi Dynasty person. Even though his eyes were a little dark blue, it would at most make people think that he had foreign blood. And the foreign people in the Qi Dynasty were not the only Liuqi people.
Each of them has studied and understood Qi Chao in depth, and has truly achieved the ultimate in knowing both oneself and the enemy.
Xiao Cao squatted down and said, "Second Prince is polite."
The title of the ruler of Liuqi was originally "king", but was changed to "emperor" because of Qichao.
In Liuqi, the titles of the princes and princesses were quite different from those in the Qi Dynasty. Usually, the princes of the Qi Dynasty were given the title of king and established their own court when they reached the age, while the princesses were usually given the title of princess before they got married or after the marriage was arranged.
It was different for Liuka. The age at which the princess was given the title of princess varied. If she was favored, she might be given the title of princess from birth. If she was not favored, she would probably never have the title of princess in her life, and would only be given the title of princess after she got married. As for the princes, they would be crowned kings together with their brothers after the new monarch took office, and then they would have certain fiefs and independent private guards.
-There was even a female princess in Rokukari who was extremely capable and much loved. She once competed with her brothers for power. Although she did not succeed in the end, she was not defeated either, and people were wary of her for the rest of their lives.
"Lan Qi was spoiled and raised, so he is a little willful. If there is anything wrong, I hope Princess Anguo will forgive me."
Xiao Cao smiled and said, "Second Prince, what you said seems to be biased. The only people who are infinitely tolerant of a person are probably parents. Speaking of pampering, who hasn't been pampered at home?"
The second prince Liu Jian choked, apparently irritated by Xiao Cao's unconventional move.
"As far as I know, Princess Anguo seems to have grown up outside." Princess Lanqi said sarcastically.
"So, after missing more than ten years, I have to double up to make up for it. I have to be more pampered so as not to make my parents feel guilty." So sorry, she, Princess Anguo, has become more pampered.
The second prince of Liuqi suppressed his emotions and continued to wear a perfect smile. "I just said something inappropriate, please forgive me, Princess Anguo. When I first arrived at the Imperial City of Qi Dynasty, I heard that Princess Anguo was a medical expert with a kind heart. Originally, Lan Qi's matter was not something that needed the princess's help. It's just that Lan Qi has always been fascinated by all aspects of Qi Dynasty. Before coming here, he had been full of expectations. Unexpectedly, he fell ill at this juncture. If time goes on for a long time, I don't know how disappointed he will be. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for him to recover. So I hope the princess can show her her good hands and make Lan Qi get better as soon as possible."
Xiao Cao nodded, "So, Princess Lan Qi, just tell her directly. It's just a matter of one sentence."
Princess Lanqi was furious, but Prince Liuka smiled and nodded, "Princess is right."
Xiao Cao walked to the bedside, asked someone to move a stool, sat down leisurely, and held Princess Lanqi's wrist. This princess was not a delicate one. Not only was the flesh on her arm tighter and full of strength, but her hands were also covered with thick calluses. Judging from the location of the Liuqi Imperial Court, it was not difficult to guess that this princess should be a good archer and horse rider, and very likely an ambitious person. However, such a person had lost all her prestige at this moment, just because...
Xiaocao felt Princess Lanqi's pulse and felt a little subtle in his heart. After taking the pulse, he carefully checked other parts of the body. Out of professional habit, he asked very detailed questions and required Princess Lanqi to answer them herself.
Princess Lanqi just felt that Xiaocao was deliberately humiliating her. After all, there were some things she couldn't even say, which made her feel so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.
Xiao Cao didn't care and even "comforted" Princess Lanqi, saying that only by understanding all the symptoms in detail could she get accurate treatment. This was not something to be ashamed of, and the princess didn't need to care. If it were someone else, or if there were no one around, this would probably be a sincere comfort, but now... Princess Lanqi was so ashamed and angry that she really wanted to bite Xiao Cao to death.
The second prince Liu Gan couldn't help but want to hold his forehead. Although this imperial sister was arrogant, she was never lacking in reason and intelligence. Princess Anguo was calm and composed, speaking softly, but she was irritated like this.
