Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Chen almost collapsed.
"Your Majesty, Duke, and the Young General mean..."
Lu Hetian glanced at him sharply.
Xu Chen shut his mouth blankly, but he still felt something was wrong in his heart.
Why didn't the emperor or the duke have any intention of sending his wife to the border
The queen is fine. She is about to give birth and cannot go as far as the border. However, my wife is very skilled in medicine. If she is willing to go to the border, the illnesses of the soldiers can be cured.
But listening to the discussion between the two, it turned out to be...
Madam will not go, and if the situation at the border is not controlled by then, those soldiers who are infected will be...
Xu Chen suddenly felt a little scared.
He gritted his teeth and knelt down towards Long Yang.
"Your Majesty, please think twice! The soldiers guard the border and shed blood for the great merchants. The emperor should not give up on them. Otherwise, the hearts of the officers and soldiers will be chilled. Your Majesty, who will be willing to serve the great merchants in the future?"
Zhao Gan's expression changed and he shouted at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did the emperor say that he would give up on them?"
Now that he had opened his mouth, Xu Chen was no longer afraid. He held his neck and said: "The situation at the border is critical and the military doctors are helpless. However, the emperor refuses to send the duchess and his wife there. Isn't this just abandoning the lives of all the soldiers? It's in vain. We are at the border, guarding the territory for the Emperor, but this is how the Emperor repays the soldiers."
Zhao Qian heard what he said getting more and more unpleasant, and he did not dare to look at the expressions of his master and the Duke at this time, "Xu Chen, you are so presumptuous! What do you know? Lin Yuan is the best imperial doctor. He has superb medical skills. He will go there The conditions of the soldiers at the border will definitely be under control."
Xu Chen sneered, "But Madam's medical skills are better. This illness is approaching fiercely. The Crown Prince also said that only Madam and the Queen take action can it be controlled. That's all for the Queen, but why doesn't the Emperor send his wife there? Border? Do you know what kind of pain and suffering those soldiers who are infected have to endure every day
The skin on their bodies cracked inch by inch, and thick black blood flowed out. They were also highly contagious. Anyone who had physical contact with them would be quickly infected.
Now that countless soldiers at the border are infected with the disease every day, the prince has no choice but to order the infected soldiers to be gathered in one place and isolated from other soldiers. If they can't find a cure, they can only wait to die. They defended the territory for the great merchants and did not deserve such an end! Please, Your Majesty, please consider this for your soldiers! "
Hearing this, Zhao Qian wanted to scold him, but he couldn't.
He turned to look at his master.
Long Yang sat behind the imperial desk, his eyes slightly lowered, and his face was gloomy. Only the tightly clenched fists under the imperial desk revealed his complicated mood at this time.
If he could, he naturally didn't want to risk the lives of his soldiers.
But Weiwei is about to give birth, and her belly is so big that it will be difficult for her to give birth. If he sends Ling Lihua to the border, what should he do if something happens to Weiwei
He couldn't afford to gamble.
At this moment, the lives of Weiwei and the soldiers guarding the territory were at stake, but he chose Weiwei without hesitation.
He felt ashamed of the soldiers, but he couldn't put Weiwei in danger.
After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Even if I send my wife to the border, there is no guarantee that she will be able to overcome the illnesses of the soldiers. I have my own opinion on this matter, so please retreat first."
Xu Chen blushed with anxiety and wanted to say something else, but this time, he had no chance to speak again. Zhao Qian and Chu Qi both stepped forward and dragged him out of the imperial study room.
The royal study suddenly fell into a dead silence.
Lu Hetian's mood was equally solemn.
