Chapter 243 We will set off for Shengjing in three days
For several days thereafter, Zhang Dashu followed Xiao Ning in training soldiers during the day, and listened to the soldiers singing military songs and Xiao Ning telling stories at night.
Xiao Ning was just as she said, not hiding anything.
She taught him whatever he wanted to learn.
Zhang Dashu's original subtle wariness gradually disappeared because of Xiao Ning's frankness.
He even respected Xiao Ning more.
Xiao Ning had been observing Zhang Dashu, and when he saw that he seemed to have really surrendered completely, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Zhang, go back and make some arrangements. We'll leave for Shengjing in three days."
Zhang Dashu responded when he heard this.
Xiao Ning asked someone to prepare a fast horse and personally escorted Zhang Dashu out of Jinzhou City.
I watched him disappear at the end of the official road before turning back.
As Xiao Ning's closest person, Li Yuan was naturally the first to know that she was going to take Zhang Dashu back to Beijing secretly.
He frowned and said, "General, Shengjing is in trouble right now. If you go back now and are seen by someone with ulterior motives..."
Xiao Ning patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will pay more attention."
"Please take care of me while I'm away."
"As for the news that I'm back in Shengjing, don't spread it around."
“Also, you must keep an eye on Shen Zhiyi. Don’t let him escape or get hurt.”
Knowing that once the general makes a decision, no one can change it.
Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded seriously.
The three-day deadline is approaching quickly.
Xiao Ning and Zhang Dashu led a team of people, disguised themselves slightly, and headed towards Shengjing.
…
Time goes back to half a month ago.
Shengjing City, Princess Mansion.
The young eunuch ran excitedly to the door of Shang Xi's study holding the letter.
"Your Highness, there's a letter from the Prince Consort!"
Why is the young eunuch so excited?
Because every time the prince consort wrote to him, he would receive a reward from His Highness.
The reward for delivering a letter was equivalent to half a year's salary.
In the study, Shang Xi was handling something and looked up when he heard this.
The autumn wind was blowing bleakly in the courtyard, blowing down all the dead leaves from the trees. The maids were sweeping the yard.
The young eunuch stood at the door of the study, his eyes filled with joy.
"What did you just say?"
He seemed to hear him say that there was a letter from the prince consort.
But it had only been less than a month since he sent out that letter.
How could Xiao Ning write to him so frequently?
Every time she delivered a memorial, she would also send him a letter.
"The servant said that the Prince Consort has sent a letter!"
The young eunuch was still very excited.
Shang Xi heard it clearly, and he said that the prince consort had sent a letter.
He suddenly stood up, strode over, and took the envelope from the eunuch.
Looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, Shang Xi's throat rolled.
She actually wrote to me...
"Go down."
After Shang Xi gave his instructions, the young eunuch immediately closed the study door and left.
Shang Xi took the letter and returned to the desk.
She pursed her lips and opened the envelope.
Looking at the letter, Shang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, she was fine.
At the same time, I couldn't help feeling sad.
Only important matters of state were worthy of her writing a special letter.
However, she said at the end of the letter that the sword tassel was beautiful.
This made Shang Xi couldn't help but feel happy again. She liked the sword tassel he had woven with his own hands.
Shang Xi rubbed the paper with his fingers, thinking that he had not explained it clearly to her last time, but he also knew his limits and would not put himself in danger.
Although he did not have much ability, he had many spies, especially in the palace.
If there is any danger, he will definitely know in advance and leave as soon as possible.
But at the moment, it seems that no one cares about him.
The emperor is still in a coma, relying on medicine to stay alive. It is unknown how long he can last.
The second prince hypocritically guarded the emperor's bedroom, his tears never dried, and he looked like he was at a funeral every day.
Some ministers in the court discussed asking the emperor to appoint the second prince as the crown prince after the emperor woke up, but they were suppressed by the ministers headed by Prime Minister Chen.
The reason given was: There was only this one prince left, and he would be the next emperor whether he was enthroned or not. But if His Majesty heard about it, he would be sad, and it might be detrimental to his health.
When Shang Xi heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer.
What does it mean to hinder the dragon's body?
It was obvious that he was making plans for Shen Zhiyi.
Shang Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the words Xiao Ning wrote on the letter paper: "It's better to leave Shengjing first." He couldn't help but feel restless in his heart.
He really wanted to see her.
I haven't seen her for more than two years.
But now that the political situation is turbulent, it is a good time for him to erode power, for their dreams, for Xiao Ning's expectations...
He can't leave yet.
Shang Xi raised his hand, touched the wood carving on the table, lowered his eyes and began to reply.
The letter was quickly written and handed to the courier.
A few days later, he received an invitation from Shen Xiang.
Shang Xi thought that he had nothing to say to Prime Minister Shen, so he had the servants of the Shen Mansion sent away.
However, within a stick of incense, the young eunuch came again to deliver the message.
Holding a letter in his hand.
The envelope was placed on Shang Xi's desk.
He stared at the envelope for a long time, finally pursed his lips and opened it.
There were only three words in the letter.
"Divine Doctor Yu."
Looking at these three words, Shang Xi felt like he was hit by a hammer.
Why did he know Divine Doctor Yu...
No, perhaps he was the one who had found Doctor Yu in the first place.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence...
When he needed him, the divine doctor Yu happened to appear...
Shang Xi pursed his lips.
He exerted force with his hands and crumpled the piece of letter paper into a ball.
Finally, all his emotions subsided, Shang Xi let out a deep breath, and ordered: "Furong, have someone prepare the car, I'm going out for a while."
Furong responded and went down to make arrangements.
Shang Xi went back to the room to change clothes.
He tied the sleeve crossbow that Xiao Ning gave him around his wrist.
When we came out, the carriage was ready.
Furong wanted to follow, but Shang Xi stopped her, "You stay and provide support. I'm worried... this is a Hongmen Feast."
Furong was shocked when she heard this: "Then Your Highness, please don't go."
Shang Xi shook his head. The old man mentioned Doctor Yu.
Although Doctor Yu said that as long as the medicine was stopped, the patient would return to normal.
But what if this Divine Doctor Yu was found by that old fox Shen Shulan?
This statement cannot be fully believed.
Shang Xi was fed up with his current androgynous appearance.
He was even more afraid that if he stopped taking the medicine in the future, he would turn into a more terrifying ghost than his current appearance.
That way he would have no chance of standing in front of Xiao Ning.
He didn't dare to gamble...
So he had no choice but to keep the appointment.
Shang Xi arrived at the location designated by Prime Minister Shen.
When I opened the door, a fresh and elegant fragrance hit me in the face. Chen Xiang was sitting at the table, serving tea.
Seeing Shang Xi enter the room, he said, "Sit down first."
Shang Xi walked over and sat down opposite him.
He stared at Prime Minister Chen and said coldly, "Prime Minister Chen, now, when you see me, you can't even perform the formalities?"
Chen Xiang's hands did not stop moving.
"Shouldn't Your Highness call me father first?"
When Shang Xi heard this, his eyes suddenly became colder.
"You don't deserve it!"
Chen Xiang sighed, "Yes, I am not worthy of you. I have let you and your children down back then."
"But since ancient times, it has always been difficult to be both loyal and righteous. As a father, I have no choice but to send you to the palace."
Even while saying these inappropriate words, his men were still able to distribute the tea without making a sound.
