Chapter 549: Surrender
Xie Jingyu sneezed almost every time he took a step.
As the Prince of Jingbei, he was quite famous, and the soldiers in the army were all waiting for him to go to the battlefield. But when they finally arrived, they started sneezing one after another.
I don't feel well...
Xie Jingyu, “…”
Looking at the soldiers' suspicious eyes, Xie Jingyu really wanted to know what he had done to deserve such overwhelming abuse.
Um.
So many people cursed him.
The first one was Chen Wan, who was so angry that he wanted to fight.
Then there is the emperor. Fortunately, Xie Jingyu was not in Kyoto, otherwise the emperor would have really called him into the palace and punished him with thirty lashes of the cane.
Although it is normal for a woman to be pregnant, his beloved daughter had just given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and her body had not yet recovered, but she was pregnant again. How could she lay an egg?
Even Yun had some opinions. Although having many children means more blessings, there should at least be a gap of one or two years. For someone like Chen Wan who gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl at once, it would be appropriate to take a break of three to five years.
Then came the Prince of Yuzhang and his men, who were rubbing their hands in anticipation, eager to attack together.
Xie Jingyu is only a few months older than them, and they haven't even had a child yet. It's not enough for Xie Jingyu to have both a son and a daughter, he also made Princess Qingning pregnant. This is not giving them any chance to survive.
At this time, only Qin Nian'er was pregnant, Ling Xue had no good news, and Wei Mingzhu was nowhere to be seen.
Except for the prince of Weiguo, who was not scolded by his parents, no one else was spared.
Can I not say hello to Xie Jingyu?
The Prince of Yuzhang was lying on the bed and scolding Xie Jingyu.
I wanted to beat Xie Jingyu to death.
Of course, there were also people who benefited from it. The wife of the Right Prime Minister hurriedly proposed marriage to her son, hoping to marry Pei Shu as soon as possible.
Xie Jingyu sneezed as he entered the military tent. The prince and Shen Ji were discussing military affairs. Seeing him come in rubbing his nose, the prince asked, "What's wrong?"
Xie Jingyu said, "It's nothing, I just sneezed a few times..."
Chen Ping said, "The prince has sneezed nineteen times since entering the barracks. Should we find a military doctor to check it out?"
Chen Ping was worried.
Xie Jingyu rarely gets sick, and sneezes even less. He has never sneezed even when taking a cold shower in the dead of winter. Now that he has sneezed so many times at once, Chen Ping dare not take it lightly.
But if you say he was tired, he and the prince came to the border together, and he was not very tired, so the prince should be even less tired.
As for acclimatization issues, the Crown Prince had followed the Prince to the border when he was eight years old and had never suffered from acclimatization issues. There was no reason why he should be worse than when he was eight years old.
Shen Ji immediately ordered his young officer, "Go get the military doctor."
Xie Jingyu stopped him, "My son-in-law was just scolded..."
Shen Ji, “…???”
Prince, “…???”
Being scolded, I sneezed nineteen times.
Did his son dig up someone’s ancestral grave?
The prince also felt that his son did not seem to be sick. Although it was not a big deal to ask a military doctor to take his pulse, the son of King Jingbei had to see a military doctor as soon as he arrived at the border before going to the battlefield. This would greatly affect Xie Jingyu's image in the hearts of the soldiers.
The matter of seeing the military doctor was left unresolved.
Chen Li strode in from outside. He patted Xie Jingyu on the shoulder and asked, "Are you really in the military camp?"
He was just sparring with his soldiers in the martial arts training ground when his subordinates came to report that the Prince of Jingbei had arrived.
Shen Li's first reaction was joy, then disbelief.
He knew that King Cheng was defeated and became a fugitive, and was hunted down by the Emperor's men in the Ning Dynasty. Xiao Huaijin was named the crown prince, and the capital was peaceful. However, the war on the border was not urgent enough to require Xie Jingyu to go to the battlefield.
Shen Li suspected that his men were playing a trick on him.
The young generals under his command raised their hands and swore an oath. Shen Li rushed over with doubts, but he was so happy to see Xie Jingyu.
Before Xie Jingyu became his brother-in-law, he had been looking forward to fighting on the battlefield with Xie Jingyu one day. Now his wish is finally coming true.
but--
He was destined to be disappointed.
Xie Jingyu did not come to the military camp to fight.
Xie Jingyu's battlefield was in Dongliang, not the border, at the junction of Ning Dynasty and Dongliang.
Knowing that Xie Jingyu had something to say to the prince, Shen Ji asked about Shen Wan and his two grandsons' situation and then went out.
Chen Ping went out to guard the big tent.
Princess Jingbei went to Dongliang. This was a serious matter. If the soldiers of Ning Dynasty knew about it, it would lead to unnecessary speculation and affect morale. If Dongliang knew about it, the princess would be in danger.
As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the military tent, which had been harmonious just a moment ago, suddenly became tense.
Xie Jingyu is not a person with a good temper. Even his own father cannot tolerate him. He has begged and pleaded many times before, but he still cannot get the information about his mother's life experience. Now that his mother has run away from home, she wants to look for him, her son?
His son is not so easy to talk to!
Xie Jingyu said, "I will stay at the border to fight, and my father will go find my mother."
The prince's brows twisted into knots, "How can this be possible?"
He is a general king and has to stay at the border.
He went to look for the princess, which was AWOL.
By then, not only will the military camp be in chaos, but if the news gets back to the capital, the emperor won't be able to sleep peacefully.
The prince knew that his son was deliberately trying to anger him, and he did not expect that Concubine Wen would look through the family tree. In the end, he could not bear the blow, went mad, and hurt the princess.
Fortunately, the princess was not seriously injured, but the collision cured her amnesia that had lasted for more than 20 years. Without even waiting for the Crown Prince's wife to give birth to the child, she left Kyoto on the pretext of visiting Old Madam Jiang and never returned.
He had kept the princess's background a secret for more than twenty years, and now that it was in his son's hands, he had no choice but to endure it.
Xie Jingyu refused to budge. "I have to do it no matter what. Father doesn't trust me. He even refuses to tell me my mother's life story. Dongliang is so big, where can I go to find my mother?"
Xie Jingyu was not just angry at the prince, he really didn't know where his mother had gone.
He knew that the Crown Prince of Gaoyang in Dongliang was his mother's nephew, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.
His mother was definitely not the sister of King Gaoyang of Dongliang.
It has been two months since his mother ran away from home. As a son, he still doesn't know what his mother's status is in Dongliang. If he knew, he would not have brought her to the military camp to find the prince, but would have gone directly to Dongliang.
In the past, he was the one who begged his father, but now he doesn't want to know anymore. He asked his father to go find his mother, and he would stay in the barracks to fight.
The prince was of course confident in Xie Jingyu's ability to fight, but that was not enough for him. The soldiers in the army had to be confident as well. Moreover, military law was no joke. With his status, he could not easily set foot in Dongliang, let alone at a time when two armies were fighting.
Seeing that his son refused to listen, the prince was really worried. "If you want to be angry with your father, wait until you find your mother."
This was a great sign of submission, and Xie Jingyu decided to stop while he was ahead. "What is the identity of my mother?"
"Nanliang, Princess Yihe."
