Return to Beijing
When Yan Chan carried the little girl back to the army, everyone had already taken another round of medicine.
"How is it?" Yan Chan asked the soldier who was hurriedly passing by.
"Report to the young commander." He just opened his mouth when he saw Yan Chan making a hush sign with her lips, so he lowered his voice and said: "The female doctor has developed a prescription for the epidemic and has already fed the child once." After saying that, he glanced at the child in Yan Chan's arms, and seeing that she didn't seem to be waking up, he continued.
"I need to take the medicine again in a quarter of an hour."
Yan Chan nodded and told him to leave.
He called another soldier and handed the child in his arms to him.
Only then did he hurried to put on protective clothing.
She's going into quarantine.
Yan Chan walked past one bed after another, and she saw with her own eyes that the condition of the sick people showed signs of improvement after taking the medicine for the second time.
Suddenly, she felt relieved.
He was about to go to the main tent to report the situation to the commander-in-chief. As soon as he stepped into the tent, he heard the commander-in-chief's voice coming from inside.
"I heard that the epidemic in Lin County has not been suppressed yet."
"Perhaps their condition is more serious..." a subordinate muttered again, "Could it be that the prescription developed by the palace physician is ineffective?"
"Should we...?" Another subordinate spoke up, but he stopped there, but those who understood would understand.
The coach pondered for a moment and decided to "help" the imperial physician.
Thanks to timely treatment, the epidemic did not cause large-scale casualties.
The Qibei Army continued its journey back to Beijing.
The days that followed were relatively peaceful, except for a group of "robbers" who came from nowhere.
I don’t know where they got the courage to run to the Qibei Army and shout at them.
Another long-planned arrow hit Yan Chan's left shoulder.
The arrow was originally aimed at the chest. Yan Chan was riding on a horse and had to be on guard against the "robbers" below who were holding swords, so he just barely avoided the vital part.
In the past, her injuries were treated by another female doctor, but unfortunately she lost her life in this epidemic.
The female doctor was very loyal to her and never revealed the fact that Yan Chan was a girl.
Yan Chan was also very sad about the deceased female doctor.
Seeing that she was injured, the coach specifically pointed a doctor over. It was a man. Yan Chan felt a little annoyed.
She had tried so hard not to get hurt.
But accidents always come so unfortunate.
She was just one step away from returning home and finding a reliable female doctor to keep with her.
Suddenly, Yan Chan grasped the short blade in her right hand as if possessed by a demon. She had even thought about what posture she would use to threaten someone next.
The light in her eyes flickered.
The curtain was suddenly lifted.
Brought in the dazzling light from outside.
"Why are you here?" Yan Chan loosened the short blade that he had hidden behind his back slightly, with some surprise in his eyes.
Shi Guiyi came in carrying something.
Shi Guiyi was mainly responsible for ordinary soldiers, while those who held official positions had their own special doctors in charge.
"I was the one who asked the coach for help." Shi Guiyi pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
Yan Chan was relieved to see that it was Shi Guiyi who came, but she still did not let down her guard.
Yan Chan sat there, watching Shi Guiyi undress her.
She had already pulled out the arrow herself, but the wound was still bleeding.
Yan Chan watched her every move, not missing even the slightest change in her expression.
Shi Guiyi felt Yan Chan's strong gaze and glanced at her hurriedly. Although she did not stop her hands, her heart was pounding.
She tried to control her breathing and undid the layers of blood-stained clothes without shaking her hands.
The peach blossom eyes of the Yanchan are so affectionate even when looking at dogs.
It’s no wonder that Shi Guiyi had wild thoughts. Anyone who saw her would inevitably think that Yan Chan might have some feelings for him.
As the last layer of clothes was undone, Shi Guiyi had no time to be shocked when Yan Chan grabbed his wrist.
She suddenly looked into Yan Chan's eyes, which were filled with helplessness and wariness.
"Young Marshal..."
"If you dare to tell anyone..."
"I will keep the secret for the young marshal." Shi Guiyi spoke before she finished speaking, with some loss in his voice.
"?" Yan Chan's prepared words were all useless, so she had to swallow them back into her stomach. She was extremely surprised.
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
But she was very satisfied with the result.
Shi Guiyi was treating her wound. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was silent for a while.
"Will the young marshal marry?" Shi Guiyi asked while wrapping the gauze. She gestured to Yan Chan to lift her arm so that the gauze could be passed around.
"No." After saying that, Yan Chan noticed that Shi Guiyi seemed to be... happier? ?
strangeness.
Yan Chan frowned slightly.
......
Although the "robbers" were delayed for a few days, the Qibei Army still returned to the capital on time.
Yan Chan first had to go to the palace with the commander-in-chief to report before returning to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
This was the first time Yan Chan met the former crown prince, the current emperor.
But she did not dare to look up at the emperor's face, and she kept her eyes down when his majesty asked her questions.
This is the Son of Heaven.
The emperor also specifically praised Shi Guiyi's prescription for epidemic diseases, but there was still no precedent for women serving as officials at that time, so the emperor only rewarded her with some silver, jewelry and other things.
Yan Chan had just left the palace. She was walking on the street with her horse and asked Gui Yi what his next plan was.
After all, Shi Guiyi knew her identity as a woman, so it would be better for her to pay more attention to her.
Now that the Qibei Army has just returned from a victorious battle, the arrogance of foreign tribes has been severely suppressed. I think they will have a few years of peace. There are other armies that have replaced the Qibei Army to guard the border, so the Qibei Army will be in the capital in the next few years.
"I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll go out and travel."
"Then I'll send two people to protect you."
"Young Marshal, are you still worried that I will tell others?" Shi Guiyi looked in the direction of Yan Chan and blinked.
Yan Chan smiled and explained, "It's just to protect your personal safety, not to monitor you."
"It's bound to be inconvenient for a woman to be alone outside. I can feel more at ease with them protecting you." Yan Chan pulled the reins and avoided the child who suddenly rushed over.
Hearing this, Shi Guiyi's heart suddenly moved. She stopped and looked at Yan Chan's back.
The bustling streets seemed deserted at this moment, and her eyes could only see Yan Chan's figure.
The sunlight shines on Yan Chan's hair, shining with a charming luster, making everything around it pale in comparison.
The hair half-draped behind her back and the silver-white headband fluttered in the wind.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and quickly followed Yan Chan's pace.
After crossing two streets, the two separated, one heading north and the other east.
After passing a crowded area, Yan Chan also mounted his horse and headed towards the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
The clatter of horse hooves.
Before she dismounted, Yan Chan found her mother already standing at the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion to greet her.
After many years of separation, the mother and daughter were finally reunited.
Yan Chan felt an indescribable excitement in her heart. Although she missed her mother very much, she did not regret her decision.
Mrs. Qin took her handkerchief and wiped her tears, then held Yan Chan in her arms.
"Finally you're back. Mom was so worried about you."
"It's all my fault. I'm sorry for making you worry." Yan Chan quickly admitted her mistake.
"Madam, Prince, it's windy outside. Let's go into the mansion first and talk." Lanxiang also wiped her tears with a handkerchief. She was very moved by this scene and spoke.
At the dinner table, Mrs. Qin put down her chopsticks and looked at Yan Chan. She had become thinner and taller, but she still had a spirit of energy.
Mrs. Qin was very pleased. Although she still complained that Yan Chan insisted on joining the army, she did not say anything to spoil the fun.
Another thing was brought up.
Among the late emperor's descendants, there is a princess who is waiting to get married.
The title was Rongning.
She is the eighth daughter of the late emperor, and also the youngest and most favored one.
However, the relationship between the princess's mother and the late queen mother, who is also the prince's biological mother, is very delicate.
The prince's biological mother had once murdered Princess Rongning's mother...
"?" Yan Chan chewed the food and looked at her mother curiously, wanting to hear what she would say next.
"Now, the princess has reached the appropriate age."
Yan Chan swallowed the food, cleared his throat and nodded.
Mrs. Qin changed the subject and talked about the celebration banquet.
"Mother, what you mean is that His Majesty might use the Qibei Army's celebration banquet to choose a prince consort for Princess Rongning!" Yan Chan scooped another bowl of soup and placed it in front of his mother.
Madam Qin nodded, drank a spoonful of sweet soup, and continued, "Look, the Empress Dowager owed the Concubine Dowager a debt, and many people know this. The previous emperor even demoted her to the position of Empress Dowager because of this. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, if he wants to make amends, he might choose a son-in-law with an outstanding family background for Princess Rongning."
"Mother, you don't think that His Majesty will choose me as his consort, right?" Yan Chan was so shocked that she almost dropped the food on her chopsticks.
Could it be that! Mother knows something inside!?
When Yan Chan thought of this, he felt unwell.
Although her family background is not very high, it is not bad either!!!
She will inherit the title in the future!
When Yan Chan thought about the possibility that the princess would surrender to their Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, she felt that her life was over.
It felt as if his head and neck would be separated the moment the princess married in.
Yan Chan swallowed his saliva.
"......" Mrs. Qin glanced at Yan Chan and saw that she was sitting on pins and needles, looking very nervous.
"How is that possible? You still have to go to war."
"......" Yan Chan felt that her wild thoughts just now had become a joke. She spoke cautiously again, "So what does mother mean?"
"If Your Majesty truly wishes to choose a consort for the princess, the celebration banquet the day after tomorrow will surely be a lively one. Not only will your Qibei Army be there, but many officials will also be bringing their children of marriageable age to the palace."
Madam Qin paused, then said something that nearly choked Yan Chan to death, "If there's a girl you like, just marry her. By the way, your sister Lin isn't suitable."
“???”
“???”
“???”
First, Yan Chan felt that he didn't like women, and second, she had no plans to get married.
"Mom, I'm a girl..." Yan Chan asked tentatively. Has her mother forgotten her gender?
"Mom knows." Mrs. Qin looked at Yan Chan as if she was a fool.
"How can I get married?!" Yan Chan didn't dare to eat any more vegetables, for fear that Madam Qin would say something shocking again. If she didn't choke to death the first time, she might not be able to avoid choking to death the second time.
"You will have to marry someone sooner or later, otherwise how will those people outside look at you?" Mrs. Qin sighed.
"......" Yan Chan really wanted to tell them to look at it however they wanted.
"Just pick someone you like, preferably one from a lower-class family, and treat her well. I don't want you to really fall in love with her, I just want you to marry her as a decoration."
The more Madam Qin thought about it, the more she felt that this deal was a great bargain. By marrying into their mansion, firstly, there would be no concubines making noises, and secondly, she would be spared the pain of childbirth. Many women were on the verge of death when giving birth and were almost unable to be saved. Thirdly, although their mansion was not wealthy, they had enough food and drink, and the future daughter-in-law would not have to take care of the housekeeping for the time being.
Just eat, drink and have fun.
In addition, their family is a marquis's mansion. When Yan Chan inherits the title in the future, his daughter-in-law will be the mistress of the mansion.
You have money and fame, and maybe even an imperial decree.
After a few years, adopt a child from the clan into the Marquis's Mansion.
“.......”Is this right, mother?
