The Favoured Medical Princess: 768 Xiao Yu
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The golden sun was rising slowly, and tens of thousands of soldiers in armor stood in front of a high platform waiting for orders. They stood tall and tall, standing with swords and guns, and their bright eyes were all looking in the same direction.
Wherever the soldiers looked, a young man in silver-white armor with a sword hanging on his waist strode onto the high stone platform and stood face to face with the soldiers on the square. The next moment, all the soldiers kneeled down almost simultaneously. Kneeling and clasping fists, they saluted and shouted in unison: "See you, Your Majesty!"
The kneeling and shouting were so powerful that the air seemed to vibrate as the soldiers moved. The shouts sounded like thunder, and the whole camp was filled with vigor and murderous intent.
However, after the soldiers stood up, they were all dumbfounded and almost thought they were dreaming.
In the arms of the prince on the high platform, there was actually a little baby wearing a blue cloak and a tiger hat. Looking at the soft and small appearance of this porcelain doll-like baby, it felt as if they would fall apart if they exerted force. It seems like it will be broken.
Where did this, this, this, this, this little doll come from?
Wait! Could this be his descendant? !
But why is Shisun here? Isn’t Shizi going to fight with Shisun in his arms?
These thoughts could not help but appear in the minds of many soldiers, but they were all well-trained. Even if they were shocked, they still maintained their original posture and stood still.
However, the originally blazing energy of these tens of thousands of troops seemed to have been suddenly poured with a bucket of cold water, and the expressions of the soldiers were a little strange and subtle...
Xiao Yi didn't seem to notice it at all, and there was still a smile on Zanli's face that added a bit of masculinity under the sunshine.
He stood on a three-foot high platform with Xiao Yu in his arms. Both father and son looked down at the soldiers with similar pairs of peach blossom eyes, and they were both smiling. The former smiled with high spirits, while the latter smiled with ignorance and curiosity.
Xiao Yi looked around at the generals and shouted loudly: "Dear soldiers of Southern Xinjiang, my Xiao family has been accompanying soldiers and horses since my grandfather. My grandfather galloped on the battlefield for most of his life before we built Zhennan Palace. In today's southern Xinjiang, although I, Xiao Yi, and my son Xiao Yu were born in comfort and wealth, we dare not forget the roots of the Xiao family!"
Xiao Yi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and there was silence under the high platform. The soldiers listened attentively, vaguely understanding why the prince wanted to bring his little grandson here...
What is the foundation of the Xiao family?
Of course he is a general and a soldier.
Back then, the old prince was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Xinjiang Army and personally led troops to drive away Baiyue and protect Southern Xinjiang;
Now, the prince has inherited the old prince’s legacy and defeated Baiyue and Nanliang;
In the future, there will be a grandson Xiao Yu in Southern Xinjiang!
A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall, but the Zhennan Palace will not be like this. Both the old prince and the Crown Prince are leading the charge, instead of sitting quietly in the rear. It is this kind of Zhennan Palace that can Only by leading the Southern Xinjiang army to victory can we protect their Southern Xinjiang and make Southern Xinjiang prosperous!
"The Southern Xinjiang Army will win! The Prince will live a thousand years longer!"
Among the soldiers, I don’t know who was the first to shout. Immediately afterwards, the other soldiers also shouted in unison and knelt on the ground again.
"The Southern Xinjiang Army will win! The Prince will live a thousand years longer!"
Tens of thousands of shouts overlapped and soared into the sky. After that, there was silence again. The soldiers only heard a loud eagle cry in the sky. A gray eagle circled in the air and screamed, as if it couldn't wait any longer. The ground wanted to set off, and the soldiers' blood was boiling with excitement...
"Yeah!" Xiao Yu clapped excitedly in his father's arms. He didn't know whether he was applauding the soldiers or the eagle hovering in the sky. His childish voice filled the air. It was so cheerful and unexpected, but it made all the soldiers feel proud as if they were proud of themselves.
Their descendants are indeed no ordinary babies, yet they feel at ease in front of such a murderous army of tens of thousands!
This is the Zhennan Palace they are loyal to!
Every one of the soldiers was in high spirits and looked brilliant.
With everyone watching, Xiao Yi walked aside and handed little Xiao Yu back to Nangong Yue, with reluctance and nostalgia in his peach blossom eyes.
It seems that with just a snap of a finger, this little guy who looked like a red-faced monkey when he was born will be able to call daddy. He wanted him to call him daddy a few more times, but he ran out of time...
It doesn't matter, their family still has plenty of time. By the time he and Xiaobai come back from Xiye, the brat will probably be able to speak fluently. Then just let him call him "father" and "adopted father" a few more times.
The days ahead are long!
"Let's go!"
As these two words disappeared into the air, the horn sounded rumble, breaking through the sky...
The army set off to the south. In the gusts of autumn wind, black flags fluttered wildly, and gray eagles hovered above the flags. Tens of thousands of troops marched forward in uniform steps, and after leaving the camp menacingly, It swept all the way south, covering the sky and the earth, and the dust like gray mist flew all over the sky wherever the army passed.
Nangong Yue hugged Xiao Yu and watched the army go away. The look on her beautiful face was calm, which made Baihui and Huamei beside them a little worried, and they quickly exchanged glances.
Every time the Crown Prince goes on an expedition, the Crown Princess seems calm, but the slaves who serve her closely all know the worries hidden in the Crown Prince’s heart, and how many times the Crown Princess suddenly wakes up from her dreams in the middle of the night...
Nangong Yue stood there for a long time, and the maids did not dare to urge her, until Xiao Yu screamed out of interest.
Nangong Yue leaned over to look at the little guy holding her front in her arms, and when she met his favorite pair of peach blossom eyes, her eyes couldn't help flashing a smile, and she said softly: "Brother Yu, we Go home."
"Easy." The little guy closed his eyes and rubbed his mother's soft chest with his soft face, and then rubbed it again with nostalgia...
For some reason, what came to Nangong Yue’s mind was the image of Mao Xiaobai rubbing her skirt affectionately with her cat face, and the smile in her eyes became softer...
Seeing that Nangong Yue's attention was attracted by the little grandson, the maids secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Yes, this time is different from previous years. There is a little grandson accompanying the imperial concubine, and a little grandson "coaxing" her. Here is the Crown Princess!
Baihui and Huamei neatly prepared the carriage, and the master and servants left the Luoyue City camp. Compared with the army that left before, this seemingly ordinary green-covered carriage was speeding alone on the official road. In the rustling autumn wind, it looks so desolate and lonely...
The carriage drove straight back to Luoyue City, and then drove into the East Street gate of Bixiaotang. At this time, the carefree Xiao Yu had already slept in the regular vibration of the carriage, and his cheeks were flushed and pink as petals. His little mouth made the sound of "smash it, smash it" from time to time, and occasionally spat out a bubble of saliva... It made people laugh, and even the return trip became less boring.
The little guy slept so well that even when the carriage stopped and he was carried out of the carriage by Baihui and carried all the way to the house, he did not wake up at all.
Nangong Yue personally tucked him in and sat aside for a while. Then, Que'er came to report that Xiao Fei was here.
Nangong Yue left Xiao Yu sleeping in the inner room, while she got up and went to the East Room to see Xiao Fei.
Knowing that Xiao Fei was like Nangong Yue, she noticed at a glance that Xiao Fei's expression was a little solemn, and she was startled.
She originally thought it was because Xiao Yi was going on an expedition today and Xiao Fei was worried about her, so she came to Bixiaotang to accompany her. However, at this moment, she had a faint feeling that this might not be the case...
Nangong Yue's face couldn't help but become more cautious, and the air in the room became denser invisibly.
After seeing the gift, the aunt and sister-in-law sat down on the Luohan bed. Xiao Fei took out two envelopes from her sleeves without saying anything. Apart from her, Tao Yao was the only one who knew where these two envelopes were. Come.
"Sister-in-law, this is from the third princess..."
Xiao Fei said sternly while presenting two envelopes to Nangong Yue, and then slowly said everything from September 20th, the day when the hairpin ceremony was held, including her meeting with the third princess at the Tayun Restaurant. And all the speculations she made later...
After she finished speaking, Dongci's room was quiet for a long time, with only the occasional rustling of branches and leaves outside the window...
Nangong Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a long time. She also agreed with Xiao Fei. Someone must have recently told the third princess about Xiao Fang’s collusion with Baiyue, and this person was definitely not from the palace or the Fang family. He is a Baiyue man!
It’s just that because Xiao Fei didn’t know the current situation of Baiyue, she guessed wrongly. This Baiyue person couldn’t be Kuilang working under Baiyue...
If this person had been in Baiyue these two years, the third princess would not have asked Xiao Fei where Xiao Yi wanted to fight.
Baiyue has been controlled by Xiao Yi. Where Xiao Yi wants to fight is meaningless to Baiyue.
If you think about it carefully, the third princess’s implication may be to ask: Is the Southern Xinjiang Army going to fight against Baiyue?
Only Baiyue people who have not been in Baiyue for the past two years and don’t know Baiyue’s current situation would want to ask this question.
A Baiyue person who is not in Baiyue has a noble status and knows the secrets of Baiyue, including the affairs between Xiao Fang and Baiyue. Moreover, this person can easily talk to the third princess...
A name naturally appeared in Nangong Yue's mind. Nangong Yue curled her lips and said slowly but firmly:
"Place clothes."
It must be clothing.
Zhang Yi quietly came to Southern Xinjiang from the royal capital. Now that she is here, it is not difficult to verify this matter.
Hearing this, Xiao Fei on the side stared slightly, also thinking deeply. The dress was held by the Saint of Baiyue. She knew these secrets, which was reasonable. Having been in the royal capital for many years, Zhang Yi must be able to talk to the third princess.
She looked at Nangong Yue with reverence in her eyes. She knew that if she were a sister-in-law, she would definitely be able to see deeper and further than herself...
"Sister Fei..." At this time, Nangong Yue raised her head. She originally wanted Xiao Fei to ignore this matter and handle it herself...
But when her eyes met Xiao Fei's clear and clear eyes, something flashed through Nangong Yue's mind, and she suddenly changed her mind.
What Xiao Fei needs is not her own pampering.
She is the eldest daughter of the palace. Even if she gets married and becomes the wife of another family in the future, the palace will still be her natal family, with both glory and disgrace. For Xiao Fei, it is not enough to just pay attention to the trivial matters in the inner house, she also needs to look wider and further...
This doesn’t happen overnight either.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Sister Fei, you did a good job in this matter."
Ever since Xiao Fei learned about what Xiao Fang had done, Nangong Yue had been a little worried about Xiao Fei, worried that she would be relieved on the surface, and worried that Xiao Fang would become an untieable knot in her heart...
But Nangong Yue is relieved now.
Xiao Fei has really grown up when she can handle little Fang's affairs like this and knows the priorities!
In fact, Xiao Fei's mind is much more open-minded than she thought. On this point, I may not be as clear-minded as Xiao Fei.
I am my friend and my teacher, both my teacher and my friend.
This is great.
Thinking about it, the smile on Nangong Yue's lips deepened, and Xiao Fei instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Her stiff shoulders relaxed a lot, and she gave Nangong Yue a light and shy smile.
"Baihui," Nangong Yue turned to Baihui and said, "ask Butler Zhu to send someone to keep an eye on Beiningju to see who has been looking for her recently..."
Baihui immediately took the order and left.
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up and she said with her hands: "Sister-in-law, you have a good idea. I will definitely go to the third princess again."
"Sister Fei, there's no need to worry," Nangong Yue held up the tea cup and said with a meaningful smile, "No matter what the purpose of the third princess and Zhang Yi, they will be more anxious than you, we will wait for them Just come to your door..."
"Yes." Xiao Fei responded energetically.
In Bixiao Hall, women's laughter could be heard from time to time, and later the laughter of little children was added. It did not become deserted because of Xiao Yi's departure...
The expedition of the army did not cause any ripples in Luoyue City. For the people, everything was as usual. Both the southern border and the royal capital in the north were in the sunny golden autumn at this moment.
In the court hall, the fifth prince Han Lingfan has been in charge of the country for seventeen or eighteen days. With Yong Yang's assistance, the court situation gradually stabilized, and both the queen and Duke Enguo breathed a sigh of relief.
While the filial Han Lingfan was busy with state affairs, he served at the emperor's bedside day and night. In addition to discussing court affairs with courtiers and reviewing memorials, he spent the rest of his time in the emperor's palace.
After sleeping for more than twenty days, the emperor finally woke up. However, due to a stroke, his body and limbs were not very agile. He could only lie half on the couch. In daily life, he needed the close attention of palace attendants.
After the emperor woke up, the Queen Mother, the empress, Yong Yang and others immediately told the emperor everything that happened during this period. The emperor was naturally angry that Han Lingguan dared to kill his father, but he did not dare to get angry, just like everyone else An imperial doctor said that if he gets angry again and suffers another stroke, he may not take the medicine seriously.
The emperor secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, Xiao Wu was a filial man, otherwise he might have died in peace!
On the second day of October, after several days of careful rest, the emperor's health improved slightly. When he first woke up, he could barely speak one word at a time. Now he can speak short sentences in one breath and swallow a little. Soft foods such as rice cakes.
After Han Lingfan waited on the emperor and took the decoction, he sat down by the couch.
The emperor looked at Han Lingfan's thin figure, slightly moved, and said slowly: "Xiaowu, this period of time has been **** you."
Han Lingfan naturally did not dare to agree and said: "Father, your words are serious, this is what a son should do."
"Xiaowu, Dayu's country... will be handed over to you." The emperor said seriously with a solemn look on his face, "You must remember... the way to be a king is the way to rule your subordinates. The way of governing. The way of the king is inaction, but the way of ministers is action. Do you understand?"
The emperor spoke with great difficulty, as if he had exhausted all his strength before he could finish.
"My son, I understand. Thank you very much, Father, for your teaching." Han Lingfan responded hurriedly and personally brought tea to the emperor, "Father, please drink some tea to moisten your throat."
The emperor's complexion softened a lot, he took the tea Gu, moistened his lips, and then said: "Xiao Wu, now...how is the war in Western Xinjiang going?"
Han Lingfan was stunned, a flash of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
In the recent period, the royal capital has not received any battle reports from Western Xinjiang. However, at this time, the emperor's condition was finally stabilized. Han Lingfan really did not dare to worry the emperor, so he said with a smile: " Father, don’t worry, Brother Three Emperors and Cousin Jun are here in Xijiang, everything will be fine.”
The emperor had no doubts. After all, before his stroke, the good news from Western Xinjiang was still fresh in his mind.
The emperor felt much relieved and taught earnestly: "Xiao Wu, I know that you are young and will inevitably be young and energetic. In the future, you will know that as a king, you must put the people of the country first and not be motivated by temporary ambitions."
Han Lingfan hesitated to speak. On the issue of Western Xinjiang, he still disagreed with the emperor. It was not that Dayu was unable to fight, so why should he beg for surrender? Or should he treat Xi Ye's invasion of Dayu's territory and massacre of Dayu's people? The barbarian bowed down, but looking at the emperor's face that seemed to have aged many years now, and looking at the wrinkles that could not be concealed at the corners of the emperor's eyes, Han Lingfan swallowed all those words and responded respectfully: "What the father said is ."
These words may seem easy to say, but for Han Lingfan, they are contrary to his will. Only he knows the difficulty of them.
The emperor smiled and looked at Han Lingfan with satisfaction. After experiencing this turmoil, Xiaowu has grown up a lot.
After just talking for a while, the emperor felt tired and waved to him.
Han Lingfan bowed and resigned.
As soon as he left the emperor's palace, Han Lingfan's originally peaceful face showed a deep look of worry.
Of course he can't just go back to the palace to rest. Now there are still a lot of political matters waiting for him to decide, especially the urgent announcement just handed over by the cabinet. In the past half month, it has been raining continuously in Yongzhou, causing the Jinhe River to rise. The downstream river burst its embankments, causing floods in the four cities of Yongzhou. Countless fertile fields and houses were submerged. Thousands of people were killed in the floods. The surviving people were left homeless, and the people in the four cities were left homeless.
Sitting in the slightly empty palace, Han Lingfan frowned and looked at the folding sheet. Since there was a flood, the imperial court had to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds for disaster relief and to regulate the river...or just let the four parties just do it. The surviving people in the city moved away and moved to other places...
Floods are critical. In such a disaster, human life is nothing but ants. In an instant, tens of thousands of people may have lost their lives in the disaster, and their families and children have been separated.
Moreover, if the surviving people are not resettled as soon as possible, they may become refugees or even mobs, which will have an unpredictable impact on Dayu's stability...
You must make a decision quickly, and you must not waste the opportunity!
Han Lingfan said to himself in his heart, but couldn't make up his mind for a moment. The fatigue accumulated over the past month surged up at this time. He rubbed his eyebrows and frowned.
Although he also helped the emperor to supervise the country when the emperor went to Yinglan Palace for summer vacation a few years ago, the emperor was in good health at that time. If there were any urgent political matters, he could rush to the palace for the emperor to deal with. But now...
Recalling the tired and weak look of the emperor just now, Han Lingfan felt heavy in his heart. He knew that this time he had to make a decision on his own. He could not live up to the expectations of his mother, grandfather and great-aunt. He must serve his father. Protect this great land!
After my father recovers, I can return to Zhao with my head high and my arms intact!
The anxiety in Han Lingfan's heart was naturally unknown to others. In the eyes of everyone, Han Lingfan had made perfect use of the great opportunity "created" by Han Lingguan for him and became the crown prince.
It is conceivable that the emperor who suffered two strokes is probably not in good health. Even if he manages to recover and ascends to the Golden Palace again, he will only get worse in the future and will not get better for long... And Prince Cheng The two princes, Prince Shun and Prince Gong, made a huge mistake and had no chance to make a comeback. Prince Gong, Han Lingfu, was far away in Western Xinjiang and could not come back for a while. Although the fifth prince, Han Lingfan, gained power thanks to Yong Yang's Support, but it can also be said that it comes naturally.
This is also Han Lingfan’s luck!
To sit on that supreme position, you don’t need luck, or in other words, luck...
Like everyone else, Bai Muxiao thought the same way. Although he was unwilling and angry, he was helpless about the situation in the court.
She didn't know whether she felt that the fifth prince was so lucky to get this rare opportunity, or that Prince Shun was so stupid that he accidentally opened up a broad road to the throne for the fifth prince.
But at this critical moment, Han Lingfu was not in the capital...
