Chapter 595 The Imperial Edict Arrives
For a moment, Lu Qiniang didn't know who to worry about.
She just hopes that everyone is well.
But after experiencing the cruelty of war, she knew that her idea was just wishful thinking.
This is a life-and-death struggle.
If the King of Yan attacked the capital and attacked and defended the city, how cruel would that be?
Aren't these people killing each other?
Lu Qin's mother didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Now she didn't dare to write to the capital to inquire about the situation.
It's too chaotic over there. I don't know if the letter will be delivered in time or fall into someone else's hands.
Now Lu Qiniang and Daya only communicate through Xiaoshen.
But Xiaoshen is too busy and is not always in the capital.
So Lu Qiniang hadn't received any news from the capital for a long time.
There is no other way except waiting.
Lu Qiniang forced herself to find something to do.
Reading, riding horses, taking care of children, and even began to learn some simple medical skills from Hu Rui.
Hu Rui wanted to go with San Ya.
But Lu Qiniang kept him.
He was too young, and he was the only son of Doctor Hu. If something happened, she would have no way to explain to Doctor Hu.
Hu Rui is sensible. When there is no war, he helps take care of Xiaoman and clean the yard.
When the Hu army was at the gates of the city, he followed the doctors in the city to treat the wounded.
In this process, he grew a lot and became more calm.
Although we do not praise suffering, suffering does temper people.
No one wants to go through this, but when suffering comes, we can only face it head-on.
This kind of life of hanging in the air and being in fear lasted for more than ten days.
One day, Lu Qiniang was helping Hu Rui turn over and dry herbs in the yard when suddenly, outside the gate, there was a rapid and sharp sound of horse hooves, followed by the eunuch's distinctive tone: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
When Lu Qiniang heard these words, her legs went weak.
Because she didn't know who issued this imperial decree.
Is it good news or bad news.
But she didn't feel uneasy for long, as she soon found out.
The imperial edict was for San Ya, summoning her to the palace and conferring her the title of noble lady.
Yes, not the imperial concubine, but the noble lady.
This imperial edict should have arrived earlier.
But Yun Ting in the capital has been maneuvering and the matter has been delayed until now.
The emperor also regretted it, thinking that if it didn't look good, wouldn't it be disgusting to reward him with the title of imperial concubine?
Thus, the imperial concubine became a noble lady.
After hearing the imperial edict, Lu Qiniang felt a surge of blood rushing to her head and her vision went dark.
She used all her strength to suppress the urge to snatch the imperial edict and tear it to pieces.
For the first time, she felt hatred towards the late emperor.
But she knew that impulsiveness would not solve any problems.
The situation in the capital is still at a stalemate.
Lu Qiniang took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound steady: "My dear eunuch, this is really unfortunate. My daughter is chasing the fleeing Hu soldiers outside and has not yet returned to the city. The Hu people are cunning and have chased us a little far away. You see..."
"Pursue the fleeing soldiers?" The eunuch raised his slender eyebrows, curled his lips, and looked arrogant. "What fleeing soldiers can be more important than the emperor's will? The emperor summoned her to the capital immediately, which is a great grace. How many heads do you have to chop off for delaying the emperor's arrival? Why don't you hurry and get her back?"
The four words "go to Beijing immediately" made Lu Qiniang furious.
She couldn't even help thinking, could she lead her troops to the capital right away and chop off the dog emperor's head?
Rebellion!
Let San Ya gather the troops now and rush back to the capital. Maybe she can meet up with Xiao Yan.
no!
Changzhou had just been relieved, and its vitality was severely damaged, the soldiers were exhausted, and there was a shortage of food and fodder.
Although San Ya has gained prestige in the army, her foundation is not stable.
She couldn't push her daughter and the soldiers in the northwest who had finally survived to death.
"Please calm down, eunuch..." Lu Qiniang forced a smile on her face, "This is certainly a blessing for us. I'll send someone to call her back right away."
She can't control how long it will take to yell back, right?
Take one step at a time and see how it goes.
Now that things have just happened, it is too chaotic and urgent, and she has no time to think of a solution.
She can go to Li Feng to discuss it.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict wanted to show off his power, but since the person was not there, there was nothing he could do.
He snorted, then dragged out a long, reluctant agreement. "Five days at the most! She must be back within five days. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll report you back to the capital for 'disobeying the imperial order,' and your whole family will be in big trouble."
"Yes, yes, I will do it as soon as possible." Lu Qiniang asked him to sit down, made up her mind, and gave him two hundred taels of silver notes.
Not only did the eunuch not refuse, he took out the silver bills from his purse and showed them to her.
Probably satisfied with the amount, he said lazily, "Pretty sensible."
"I'll have to rely on my father-in-law to take care of me in the future." Lu Qiniang pretended to be flattering. "Even now, the outside world is in chaos. I don't know if it will be peaceful on the way to the capital."
"We have brought so many guards with us, what are you afraid of?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Qiniang said quickly, "Come to think of it, I don't know how my brother is doing now. Father-in-law, do you know Zhang Heyao? He is my brother."
"Zhang, Zhang Xiang? You said Zhang Xiang is your brother?" The eunuch's face changed, his voice became much lower, and his attitude unconsciously softened.
Seeing this, Lu Qiniang was immediately relieved.
It seems that Zhang Heyao is fine.
"Yes, he's my adoptive parents' brother." Lu Qiniang said with a smile, "But we haven't been in touch for a long time."
It turns out that they are distant relatives.
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and then put on airs again.
Lu Qiniang sent the person away in a gentle manner.
She went to discuss it with Li Feng.
Li Feng frowned and slammed the table, angrily saying, "How dare he! How dare he treat such a meritorious person like this!"
He is a complete bastard who is obsessed with sex and indulges in extravagance and lust.
Lu Qiniang sighed.
She had also wanted to ask countless times why he became the emperor.
I already knew he wasn't suitable...
But it’s no use saying these now.
"I think we can only delay it for now. If we turn around and the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict refuses to give in, I'm a little worried..."
"Don't worry, I'm still here." Li Feng gritted his teeth and said, "If he wants to control you, he has to see if I agree or not."
At worst, we can rebel!
This dog emperor is really intolerable.
"I don't want to write to San Ya to urge her to come back." Lu Qiniang said the truth.
Fighting against the Hu people is the most important thing.
More than ten years ago, Xiao Yan led his men to defeat the Hu people and brought ten years of peace to the border.
This time, let San Ya inherit his career and bring another ten years of peace to the Northwest!
"Don't rush her." Li Feng said, "As for the eunuch, let's delay it for now. If it really doesn't work——"
Let them have an accident!
Lu Qiniang agreed.
Now, she actually understood a little bit why Xiao Yan had to kill the military supervisor who was a hindrance.
Some opportunities are fleeting.
