Chapter 221 Hand Over the Person

"Your Majesty—"

Shao Feiyang suddenly had an extra task and wanted to call the prince, but Huo Zheng left without looking back, leaving the young general standing there, feeling depressed and wondering why the Princess of Xiling was given such a big trouble.

Huo Zheng walked through the tents, his handsome face illuminated by the firelight, half in light and half in darkness.

He had not revealed any of his thoughts in front of Ye Ninglan just now, but he knew in his heart that what the Princess of Xiling said was true.

Even if he really led his troops to flatten Xiling, he would not be greeted with the trust of his father, but suspicion and fear.

To surpass one's father's achievements - what a vicious word.

This is the situation he faces.

Putting aside what Huo Zheng himself will soon face, if Daxing and Xiling continue to fight, only the people of both countries will suffer. Ye Ninglan's proposal for peace is actually the best option.

However, Huo Zheng did not want to reach any cooperation with Ye Ninglan in private. He just wanted to restore peace between the two countries in public. As for the conditions for peace talks, they should be proposed by Daxing and Xiling should accept them.

Huo Zheng thought so and strode back to the main tent.

"Greetings, Your Highness. This is something the Princess asked me to bring to Your Highness. Please have a look."

Tan Qi had already escorted Rendong and the other two doctors to the military camp and was waiting in front of the main tent. When he saw the prince coming back, he immediately took out the letter from his sleeve and presented it to him with both hands.

Honeysuckle and the others all bowed to Prince Chang'an and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

Huo Zheng glanced at everyone and saw that the person standing in the front was a woman dressed as a man.

This young man is too frail, lacks masculinity, and his features are too soft.

But at this time, Tan Qi presented the letter from Chunzhi to him. Huo Zheng took it and opened it directly.

Chunzhi said in the letter that the ninth prince Huo Yan had been found and had been brought back to Xizhou City and was being raised in the governor's mansion.

Then he talked about honeysuckle.

She said that it was Rendong who informed her of Huo Yan's whereabouts, and she was afraid that Huo Yan would retaliate against Rendong, so she sent him to the front line. She also said that Rendong had been learning medicine since she was a child and could help treat the wounded, so she asked him to disguise himself as a man and work in the military camp under the pseudonym Feng Teng, and asked Huo Zheng to help take care of him.

"Feng Teng?" Huo Zheng looked at Ren Dong. "The princess has told me everything about you in her letter. Now that you're in the military camp, you must follow orders and avoid causing any trouble. I hope you'll remember this."

Honeysuckle quickly said, "Yes, Feng Teng will definitely abide by the rules and regulations and will never cause trouble for His Majesty."

Huo Zheng finished speaking, without looking at Ren Dong again, and ordered the guards beside him, "Take these doctors to the wounded camp."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard responded and immediately stepped forward to take Rendong and others away.

Seeing this, Tan Qi clasped his fists and said, "I'll take my leave."

Huo Zheng nodded and walked into the tent with the letter.

He came to the lamp, sat behind the desk, and read the letter written by Chunzhi carefully again.

Huo Yan had been missing for so long and was finally found, which put his worries to rest.

Chunzhi expressed her concern and regards for him in the letter. Huo Zheng read it word by word and could almost imagine what she looked like when she wrote the letter.

If Huo Zheng had not just captured the Princess of Xiling and was about to negotiate with Xiliang, he would have wanted to rush back to Xizhou City to see Chunzhi overnight.

Even if he did nothing, just looking at her was enough to make him happy.

With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

…

Xizhou City, the governor's residence.

After Chunzhi sent Rendong away, she went to Yuntai Waterside to see Huo Yan once.

As she expected, after the Ninth Prince was rescued by the doctors, he learned that he had returned to the Yuntai Waterside Pavilion where he had been imprisoned for several months. He was so angry that he fainted on the spot.

When Chunzhi took Cui'er and the others there, Huo Yan was still in a coma.

The Ninth Prince's close confidants did not dare to leave their master to the care of others, as if they were afraid that someone would harm him. Whether it was decocting medicine or cooking porridge, they did it all by themselves.

Even before giving it to Huo Yan, they had to test the poison one by one.

Seeing this, Cui Er couldn't help but say, "They're guarding against us like thieves. It's a good thing this way. If the Ninth Prince really doesn't make it, they can't blame our prince."

Chunzhi glanced at Cui'er and said, "Ninth Prince has been in trouble for a long time. It's only right that those around him should be more cautious."

"Yes, yes, yes." Cui'er quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, "It was my fault for talking too much."

Chunzhi asked the doctor about Huo Yan's condition and learned that his qi and blood attacked his heart, causing his old injuries to cause him to fall into a coma. She asked the doctor to take good care of him and left after staying for a while.

The truth was that she had no close relationship with Huo Yan, and Huo Yan's confidants were afraid that she would harm them, so they were on high alert. Chunzhi was also unwilling to stay in Yuntai Waterside Pavilion for any longer.

Another day passed before Huo Yan woke up.

The first thing the Ninth Prince did when he woke up was to look for Jiang He.

Jiang He happened to be guarding Chunzhi. When he saw the Ninth Prince sending someone to look for him, he knew exactly what the other party was going to do.

He said to Chunzhi, "Princess, the Ninth Prince is looking for me now, probably to ask where Miss Honeysuckle is."

Chunzhi didn't expect that Huo Yan had been in a coma for so long, and the first thing he did after waking up was to look for Jiang He.

She laughed and said, "Now that the Ninth Prince has woken up, I'll go with you to the Yuntai Waterside Pavilion to take a look."

Jiang He held his sword and raised his hand, saying, "Princess, please."

Chunzhi took Jianghe and others to Yuntai Waterside Pavilion.

When they arrived, Huo Yan was leaning on the couch drinking medicine.

Several of his close associates did not trust the people in the mansion, so they served their master personally, standing in front of the bed like the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Ninth Prince has finally woken up." Chunzhi asked as he stepped inside, "How are you feeling? Are you still feeling unwell?"

When Huo Yan saw Chunzhi coming, he stopped drinking the medicine and casually stuffed the medicine bowl to his confidant in front of the bed. He said in a bad tone: "When this prince sees you, I feel uncomfortable everywhere."

"Is that so?" Chunzhi smiled and said softly, "There's nothing we can do about it. Just bear with it."

Huo Yan's wounds ached from her anger. "You're hoping this prince will die soon, right? Unfortunately, I'm going to disappoint you."

Chunzhi stopped a few steps away and said slowly, "Ninth brother, stop talking nonsense. If you are sick, take medicine to avoid hysteria and damage the dignity of the royal family."

"You!" Huo Yan was so angry that he raised his hand to cover the wound on his abdomen and was speechless for a while.

He really couldn't understand how a man like Huo Zheng could fall for a woman like Chunzhi?

Seeing this, the doctor nearby hurried forward to treat the ninth prince's gaping wound.

"Get lost." Huo Yan pushed the doctor away with a flick of his sleeves, frowning as he looked at Jiang He. "Where is the person I asked you to bring back? Where is she?"

Jiang He stepped forward and replied, "I left someone waiting in the bamboo house, but the person Your Highness the Ninth Prince mentioned never showed up. I'm a human, not a god. How can I conjure up a living person out of thin air for Your Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"Stop lying to me!" Huo Yanjun's face darkened. "You must be playing tricks on me! Hand him over to me now!"
