The Favoured Medical Princess: 464 Lonely Minister

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Han Lingfu picked up the tea cup on the table, with a gentle smile on his lips, and said: "Your Highness Kuilang, no, it's time for me to call Your Highness my sister-in-law. Seeing that my sister-in-law is radiant, I must be thinking about something. It’s done!” There was deep meaning in his tone, “This is the scene of the dragon before the rain just before the tribute, so I am congratulating my sister-in-law with tea instead of wine.”

"Thank you, Brother Three Emperors." Kui Lang also picked up the teacup and said loudly.

This thank you is not just for the cup of tea, but also to thank Han Ling for helping him marry the third princess.

Kui Lang raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp, then put the teacup aside.

Han Lingfu took a slow sip of hot tea and felt that Kuilang was indeed a barbarian. He drank this fine Longjing tea like a cow. What a waste of this good tea!

But for the great cause, I can only cooperate with rough guys like Kui Lang.

Kui Lang calmed down and said again with some urgency: "Brother Three Emperors, although the emperor promised me that he would lend troops to restore me, he did not specify when. Brother Three Emperors needs to help me push forward this matter. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be impatient. We in Dayu have a saying, 'You can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient.'" Han Lingfu said unhurriedly, "Since my father has asked the third princess to marry you as his concubine, he has personally agreed to it. Borrowing troops, the rest will happen sooner or later. I will act according to the opportunity."

Kui Lang was secretly annoyed because it was not Han Lingfu who was a prisoner in another country, so he was naturally not in a hurry. More than a year has passed. The longer time passes, the more stable Nuhal's regime will be, and the more disadvantageous it will be to himself.

Although he was anxious, Kui Lang also knew that there were still many places where he needed help from Han Lingfu. This was not the time to offend Han Lingfu!

Kui Lang took a deep breath, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Brother Three Emperors. As long as I return to Baiyue in the future, I will never forget Brother Three Emperors' kindness to me. Help Brother Three Emperors 'give a helping hand'!" His words were both a statement and a reminder, reminding Han Lingfu that only by returning to Baiyue and becoming the King of Baiyue could he better help Han Lingfu ascend to the supreme position of Dayu.

Han Lingfu narrowed his eyes slightly. If not for this, why would he bother to form an alliance with Kui Lang?

Han Lingfu pondered for a moment and then reminded: "Sister-in-law, if you want your dreams to come true, then be kind to my third sister and let my father see your sincerity..."

He didn't make his words clear, but Kui Lang naturally understood what he meant.

Only blood can tie the two countries together, and only blood can become the cornerstone of trust.

Kui Lang was thoughtful and silent for a long time. He looked up at Han Lingfu and asked, "Thank you, Brother Sanhuang, for the tip." After a pause, his eyes became meaningful, "Then Where are you, Third Emperor Brother? When will you let me see your sincerity?"

Han Lingfu's pupils shrank, was Kui Lang asking him to give him a child? !

Seeing that Han Lingfu was thoughtful, Kui Lang said slowly: "Brother Three Emperors, only blood can make the bond between us closer!"

Han Lingfu did not agree, and Kui Lang did not urge him any further. The main hall was quiet...

Seeing that it was almost time, Kui Lang was afraid that he would arouse suspicion if he stayed in the third prince's residence for too long, so he left with the third princess.

Kui Lang left, but Han Lingfu couldn't calm down for a long time.

Child, child again!

Recently, Cui Yanyan’s mother-in-law has begun to push back on him and is increasingly unwilling to do things for him. Cui Wei, a rude man, even bluntly said that he should have a legitimate son...

Now even Kuilang has mentioned the child...

What can a child guarantee? ! Han Lingfu sneered in his heart, but if a child can make Cui Wei do his best for him, and a child can make Kui Lang help him win the throne, then...

Han Lingfu was thinking as he walked, hesitating and struggling in his heart.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, a familiar female voice came into his ears. Han Lingfu followed the sound and saw a beautiful moon-white figure coming into view. The afterglow of the sunset softly sprinkled on her body, plating her with... With a layer of golden halo, her little jade-white face seemed to be glowing, and her clear eyes bloomed with moving brilliance the moment she saw herself.

"Xiao'er..." Han Lingfu blurted out, and then realized that he had arrived at Bai Muxiao's yard unknowingly.

Bai Muxiao didn't notice anything was wrong with Han Lingfu, so he walked forward with a smile and saluted Han Lingfu, obviously in a good mood.

"Your Highness, Kui Lang and the third princess have gone back?" Bai Muxiao looked at Han Lingfu with a smile and asked confidently, "What did the emperor say?"

"Xiao'er, everything went as we planned." Han Lingfu said slowly, with an elegant smile on his lips.

Everything went as we planned...she knew their plan would succeed!

Bai Muxiao let out a long sigh of relief, and the smile on her lips became deeper. She and Han Lingfu worked hard to finally reach this point. Only they know how much effort they put into this step to successfully form an alliance with the eldest prince, and successfully let Kuilang marry the third princess, and today the emperor finally agreed to send troops to Baiyue!

Only the two of them know how difficult this step is!

"Your Highness, I just made some sweet soup to relieve the heat. Would you like to come in and drink some?" Bai Muxiao asked, holding Han Lingfu's arm.

"I naturally want to try Xiao'er's craftsmanship." Han Lingfu looked nonchalant on the surface, but hesitated in his heart.

He once promised Bai Muxiao that even if he married Cui Yanyan and Wei Yi, he would never have **** with them or any other woman.

He only has Bai Muxiao in his heart, and he will only be with Bai Muxiao!

He has not changed now, but——

Han Lingfu half-closed his eyes, a hint of complexity and entanglement flashed in his eyes.

Now there are many obstacles on his road to supremacy. If he wants to clear those obstacles and win greater support, he must make certain compromises.

Whether it is the Cui family or the Kui Lang represented behind the clothes, the children who are related by blood to both parties will be a bond that makes the relationship between them closer!

Hey——

Looking at Bai Muxiao's smiling face, Han Lingfu sighed secretly, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Xiao'er is good at everything, but she always can't think clearly or understand these little things.

After Kui Lang and the third princess returned to the princess mansion safely, someone immediately went to the imperial study to report to the emperor.

Guan Yubai was also in the imperial study room. The emperor and his ministers sat opposite each other on both sides of the chessboard. The emperor held a sunspot in his hand and did not drop it for a long time. After hearing the report, he waved his hand to show that he understood, while still staring at the chess surface without deviation.

On the chessboard, the black piece has been trapped and it is difficult to escape.

The emperor thought for a long time, and finally laughed and surrendered, "I lost again. Yu Bai, you are the only one who dares to defeat me, so even if I lose every time, I still like to compete with you the most." ”

Guan Yubai bowed and said with a smile: "The emperor admitted it."

The emperor looked at the chess board and said without raising his head: "Yubai, can you solve this dilemma?"

"It can be solved." Guan Yu confessed in vain, picked up a black stone, and dropped it lightly, followed by the second stone, the third stone... The chess surface that had no way out followed his placement. The movements gradually became clearer.

A way out quietly appeared.

The emperor had been watching in silence until now, and then he nodded repeatedly and praised: "Yubai, you see clearly."

"Your Majesty, the predicament is not a dead end. It can be solved naturally as long as we find a way out." Guan Yu Bai said unintentionally, "Just like Kui Lang, so for him, after the new king of Baiyue ascended the throne, He is in a dilemma, but if the emperor is willing to send troops to help him, that is his way of survival, and the dilemma will naturally be solved."

When he mentioned "Kui Lang", the emperor couldn't help but frown and said: "I am actually a little worried..."

While Guan Yubai was packing up the chess pieces as if nothing had happened, he said, "The emperor is worried about Southern Xinjiang."

The emperor sighed and said: "Yubai, you know my thoughts best. ... This time, if I send troops, I will definitely arouse the scruples of King Zhennan. If he makes him feel dissatisfied, it will It is not good for Dayu. But if I decree that King Zhennan lead the army to attack Baiyue, I am worried... I am worried that King Zhennan will form an alliance with Nuhar. ... Now, it is imperative to help Kuilang restore, but King Zhennan really troubles me. Hey, it would have been better if my father had not conferred the title of vassal king."

This is just talk, and the emperor also knows that if there was no old Zhennan King guarding southern Xinjiang, the Dayu Dynasty would probably be in turmoil.

Guan Yubai nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty is very worried."

The emperor was a little worried, "I have also thought about whether I should call A Yi back, but I still have to rely on A Yi in the future battle against Baiyue. Otherwise, with the stupid thing like Zhennan King, I am afraid that Baiyue will be defeated." If it is not defeated, Southern Xinjiang will be in danger. And in this case, is there any way to check and balance Southern Xinjiang?" At this point, he asked with some hope, "Basically speaking, what should I do?"

Guan Yubai said calmly: "...Has the emperor ever thought of sending a supervisor to southern Xinjiang?"

The emperor was thoughtful: "Supervise the army?"

Guan Yubai said unhurriedly: "The emperor can, in the name of assisting the King of Zhennan in attacking Baiyue, send people to southern Xinjiang to supervise the army." He paused and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, now is an excellent opportunity."

The emperor thought for a moment and suddenly realized.

Guan Yubai is right, this is an excellent opportunity. If it were normal, he would have no excuse to send a supervisory army to southern Xinjiang, but now, in the name of attacking Baiyue, he would not send troops, but would take a step back and send a supervisory army there. King Zhennan must have nothing to say.

"Yubai." The emperor asked eagerly, "Who do you think is suitable."

"Isolated minister." Guan Yubai said without hesitation, "Your Majesty, it is most appropriate for you to send an isolated minister."

The lonely minister...the emperor was thoughtful.

Although everyone in the court was very happy and everyone said that they were willing to do nothing to him, the emperor also understood that this was not easy. His ministers, no matter how loyal they were, would inevitably be betrayed by their family and power. Influenced by various factors such as party, friends, wealth, etc. Speaking of Lonely Minister...

The emperor's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Guan Yubai.

Guan Yubai is the only one in the official family, and the family will not affect him;

An Yihou is a second-grade military prince. Unless he is granted the title of king, his power is already as high as the sky;

Guan Yubai grew up on the border since he was a child. After returning to the royal capital, he rarely stepped out of the Anyi Marquis Mansion. He had never heard of anyone in the court being friendly with him, let alone forming a clique for personal gain;

As for wealth, in order to win over officials, Xirong promised countless gold and silver, which was enough to defeat the enemy, but it had no effect at all, which turned the win over into a frame-up.

Such a person would not be easily bribed and driven by King Zhennan.

Furthermore, Guanyu Bai is resourceful and once a military general. Although he can no longer go to the killing field, with him in southern Xinjiang, the battle with Baiyue will definitely be more secure.

In this way, Guan Yubai is indeed the best... no, the only candidate!

The emperor was interested, but he couldn't help but have some doubts. At this time, Guan Yubai suggested that the "lone minister" could be him...

"Ahem."

At this time, there was a burst of muffled coughing, and Guan Yubai turned sideways and covered his lips with a green handkerchief and coughed several times with difficulty. Seeing the emperor looking at him, Guan Yubai bowed and his voice was a little uncomfortable. He said steadily: "I have behaved disrespectfully before you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor expressed his indifference. I thought: I am really worrying too much. Guan Yubai is weak, so how can he want to go to that bitter and hot place? However, now that I have no suitable person besides him... I can only work hard to make it clear.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but said seriously: "Yubai. I ask you, are you willing to go to southern Xinjiang for me and Dayu?"

There was a trace of obvious surprise on Guan Yu's gentle face. He lowered his eyes slightly, seemed to think for a moment, stood up, bowed and said: "I obey your order."

……

At the morning meeting three days later, the emperor ordered the King of Zhennan to send troops to Baiyue to support the orthodoxy of Baiyue. He also ordered Anyihou Guan Yubai to go to southern Xinjiang to announce the decree and assist the King of Zhennan in his expedition. He set off on the same day.

It is not unusual for the emperor to send troops to Baiyue. The whole court has known about it for a long time, but they are just waiting for an opportunity. However, what is the purpose of asking An Yihou to go to southern Xinjiang to help subdue the Southern King?

This caused a stir among the government and the public.

However, this storm has not yet spread to southern Xinjiang, which is still in the scorching summer.

After a few days of hard work, Zhu Xing finally found another reliable pharmacy - Deji Hall. After Nangong Yue asked them to trial-produce it once, he approved it.

Soon, the first batch of heat-relieving medicine made according to the new recipe was finally ready. Zhu Xing went to the military camp to meet Tian He, and the heat-relieving medicine was sent to Huiling City as soon as possible.

Nangong Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the three pharmacies to continue making medicines as quickly as possible, and the price was also sufficient.

Now that the anti-summer medicine is ready, the next step is the anti-miasma medicine...

At this time, it had been more than half a month since Nangong Yue took charge of the Zhennan Palace's middle office, and everything was in order. Some of the nuns in charge have already obeyed, while others are still dormant and ready to make a move.

Nangong Yue doesn't care if those nuns have their own little thoughts, as long as they stay safe and keep their own rules.

Nangong Yue is worried about another thing at this moment. King Zhennan’s fortieth birthday is coming soon.

This is the first major event that Nangong Yue takes charge of the royal palace and the queen's palace. No matter what the purpose is, it must be done properly.

Nangong Yue specifically asked Zhennan King what he meant, and then started to prepare. Seeing that his birthday was finally organized, the King of Zhennan was extremely satisfied. Ever since Xiao Fang was deprived of his royal title, there had been no formal banquets for guests in the palace. The first two birthdays were celebrated by the palace alone. Now that the Crown Princess is here, things are really different!

When he was in the royal capital, Nangong Yue would take Xiao Fei to cook with him from time to time. Now that the palace's middle class has basically been mastered, Nangong Yue planned to use this birthday banquet to let Xiao Fei get some exercise. .

No matter which family Xiao Fei marries into in the future, as a mistress with a palm in her hand, banquets of all sizes are indispensable.

So, after returning from King Zhennan's study, Nangong Yue called Xiao Fei to Bixiaotang and asked her what she meant.

Xiao Fei happily agreed.

"The Crown Princess." Que'er came back at this time and Fu Shen said, "This is the banquet list for the prince's previous birthdays."

Nangong Yue nodded, motioned for her to put it on the table, picked it up and started reading with Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei felt a little nervous. She no longer thought that middle school was just a boring and trivial matter. She was afraid that if she accidentally got into trouble, her father would be angry with her sister-in-law.

Nangong Yue looked at the list and said, "Using these as a reference for now, let's finalize the banquet list first and post it early."

Seeing Nangong Yue's unhurried look, Xiao Fei gradually calmed down and started discussing with her.

Bai Hui spread paper and ground it aside. After a while, the list was roughly finalized.

Nangong Yue had someone send it to King Zhennan, and it was only after he saw it that it was officially finalized.

While they were talking, a little maid came in a hurry and said: "Prince Concubine, Miss, Miss Qiao is here!"

Qiao Ruolan? ! Xiao Fei's expression felt a little unnatural for a moment. A series of events that happened recently made her really not fond of Mrs. Qiao and her daughter.

But when relatives come to visit, they still have to meet the boss.

Nangong Yue nodded and said, "Please come over, cousin."

The maid arranged the table for a while, and after a while, she saw Thrush leading Qiao Ruolan.

Qiao Ruolan walked into the house wearing a moonlit summer coat with magnolia flowers all over the ground and a lotus green skirt with deep pleats. She had a slender waist and was beautiful and elegant.

"Cousin, Fei's cousin," Qiao Ruolan smiled and saluted the two of them, straight to the point, she took out a red and gold post and said, "In three days, my family will hold a flower party, please express your gratitude. My sister-in-law and cousin must come."

Xiao Fei frowned and did not respond.

Xiao Fei really didn't want to be with her aunt and cousin because of their good character, so naturally she didn't want to go to this flower party.

She half-closed her eyes, covering up the darkness in her eyes.

Nangong Yue was keenly aware that something was wrong with Xiao Fei's mood, and probably guessed that Xiao Fei didn't want to go. In fact, Nangong Yue didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Qiao and her daughter, so she politely refused: "Cousin Lan, the house is a little busy these days, and I'm afraid Sister Fei and I won't be able to go."

Busy? The smile on Qiao Ruolan's face suddenly froze, and a look of humiliation flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that she would come to the palace in person to deliver messages and invite people, but Nangong Yue would do this to her face.

What are you busy with? !

What's there to be busy with? This is obviously an excuse!

Qiao Ruolan's fingertips holding the post turned slightly white, but Xiao Fei's eyes were shining. She knew that her sister-in-law refused for her own sake, and sure enough! My sister-in-law cares about herself the most!

Qiao Ruolan's face turned red and her ears were buzzing.

Continuing to stand here will only lead to greater humiliation! With this thought in mind, she turned around and rushed out of the house without even saying a polite word, angrily leaving, faster and faster.

Looking at her leaving figure, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei looked at each other with smiles, and neither of them had the intention to catch up.

Qiao Ruolan angrily got on the carriage back to Qiao's house. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The return journey with a stick of incense not only did not alleviate her anger, but it only intensified.

As soon as she returned home, Qiao Ruolan rushed straight to Mrs. Qiao's yard, her eyes red with grievance and she was about to cry.

"Mother..."

When Mrs. Qiao saw her daughter's red eyes, she felt extremely distressed. She hurriedly called her to her and asked softly: "Sister Lan, what's going on? Didn't you go to the palace to deliver the post? ?"

Could it be that Nangong Yue who bullied his daughter? A sharp look flashed in Mrs. Qiao's eyes.

Qiao Ruolan flew into her mother's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, crying aggrieved and angrily: "Mom, they... they can't even say they can't come to my flower party!" Neither Nangong Yue nor Xiao Fei came. , how could I take advantage of the situation and invite Fu Yunhe! Thinking of this, Qiao Ruolan almost broke her teeth with hatred.

Them? In other words, Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei both rejected their daughters and did not want to come to Qiao Mansion's flower party! Mrs. Qiao was so angry that veins bulged on her forehead. She patted her daughter on the back and comforted her: "Sister Lan, don't cry. If they don't come, they won't come. We don't care..."

Mrs. Qiao said this, but she had a suspicion in her heart: Not to mention Nangong Yue, Xiao Fei must be taking her anger out on her daughter for teaching her the rules that day!

She, a junior, has remembered this aunt’s grudge, she is really petty! Did she think that as an aunt, she would still be afraid of a junior like her?

A gloomy smile appeared at the corner of Mrs. Qiao's mouth. Xiao Fei wanted to compete with Sister Lan for Fu Yunhe, but that was not that easy!
