Xiao Lan leaned against the headboard, a rare blush appearing on her pale face—a sign that her vitality was beginning to recover.
Although she was still weak, she could feel a subtle improvement flowing through her body.
Thinking about the past few days, even though Xiao Lan had eaten her fill, she was still feeling weak all over. Da Meng saw a glimmer of hope. He was really worried that if Xiao Lan continued like that, she might die one day.
Qiao Lian'er went out and told the Qiao family about the general situation.
"Did she suffer a shock or trauma that caused her amnesia?" Madam Lü asked in surprise. "Could this girl have experienced something cruel?"
"It must be, because Xiao Lan was also poisoned, most likely by the person who made her lose her memory."
Old Mrs. Qiao said, "Then the poison in her body..."
"It's been taken care of. Once she's recovered, we'll take her out for a walk. Maybe seeing something will help her remember something."
Qiao Lao Er crossed his arms, his face grave: "It seems this is a bit tricky."
"We can only wait patiently. Xiao Lan is a good girl, may God bless her," said Old Man Qiao.
Qiao Lian'er instructed Huo Ming and Huo Shen: "Keep an eye out and see if there are any suspicious people loitering around, or if they are paying attention to this matter."
Da Meng felt very guilty and withdrew several of the elite guards to make it easier for the Qiao family to visit Xiao Lan.
Now that things have been discussed openly and the knot in his heart has been untied, he feels much lighter, as if a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.
He secretly resolved that he would care more about his family and do more for them in the future to make up for this mistake.
When Qiao Lian'er left Tianhe Prefecture, she left Huo Yu and Huo Jue there.
Tonight, Huo Jue rushed back to report the situation.
"Princess, the brothers Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi have sent people to Tianhe Prefecture to try to bribe the soldiers under Li Haidao and General Wei Shu and sabotage the two generals."
"Then what."
"But they tried to bribe different soldiers several times, and none of them were willing. Instead, they reported the situation to Commander Pei."
Qiao Lian'er smiled. Following her, she enjoyed the best food and drink, and her equipment and weapons were also the best. Moreover, the assessment at the Tianhe Prefecture garrison was very fair, and everyone had a chance.
Who would be so foolish as to do something as disloyal as betraying their own people?
"Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi tried to win over the soldiers by offering them the positions of platoon leader and brigade commander, but the soldiers remained unmoved," Huo Jue added.
Qiao Lian'er felt somewhat gratified. Who wouldn't want to climb the ranks? Faced with such lucrative offers, they still resolutely stayed. She hadn't been kind to these soldiers in vain.
Of course, this is also related to the rapid growth of Tianhe Prefecture's garrison. After defeating the most powerful Long Prefecture, everyone is proud of such a garrison.
"You and Huo Yu continue to keep an eye on the situation on all sides, whether it's government offices, military camps, or construction projects in various locations."
"Yes." Huo Jue left.
The next development was that Pei Qingrong had people escorted by the Qiu brothers to Longzhou to demand an explanation.
Qiu Wutong was furious.
It's normal for generals to be ambitious, but he cannot tolerate them doing things that harm others for their own benefit.
Qiu Dezhong and Qiu Deyi were stripped of their official positions and demoted to Lieutenant Generals. Their troops were also reduced to five thousand, severely weakening both of them.
After about half a month, Xiao Lan had recovered quite well, and Qiao Lian'er took her outside for a walk.
