Chapter 278 Happy Event
Cheng Nianying slept a little longer this time.
At first, Fu Yi was delighted. Ah Ying could sleep so peacefully beside him, clearly not minding his past secrets. He revealed his final trump card to her, and she returned his trust.
But as he slept without eating or drinking for the third day, Fu Yi's happiness suddenly hit the depths of his heart.
"I heard the prince wants to see a doctor." The short county official from Huaiyuan ran in breathlessly. "But is the crown prince injured?"
The county magistrate's face was filled with worry. Fu Yi didn't answer, but only asked, "Where's the doctor?"
"Here, here." The county magistrate hurriedly pulled the person out.
The doctor is quite old.
But Fu Yi did not judge a person's ability based on his age. He asked directly, "How are your medical skills?"
Before the doctor could say anything, the county magistrate became nervous: "If it's a difficult or complicated case, the prince will know. This small town on the border..."
It seems as if he is afraid that the noble person will embarrass the doctor.
The doctor picked up the medicine box and hurriedly interrupted, "Let's see the patient first."
Fu Yi regretted not bringing Imperial Physician Tong with him.
However, he had guessed that there would most likely be movement at the border, so the journey would be hurried. Imperial Physician Tong was not young anymore, and his body might not be able to withstand it.
"Come with me." Fu Yi turned around and led the way.
The frontier doctor couldn't tell the status of the people here, so he followed them fearlessly.
The county magistrate suddenly slapped his head from behind, "Prince, there's one more thing... The army has arrived! They want to see the crown prince and you."
The county magistrate didn't mention that the leading general looked unhappy. He still had some understanding, and the prince's face was not much better at the moment.
The county magistrate took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, and came to receive him!
The magistrate turned and went back to the front.
Stepping into the hall, I saw the middle-aged general sitting in the main seat put down the teacup in his hand and asked: "Why don't you see the crown prince?"
The county magistrate was about to answer honestly, but then he thought it was wrong, so he asked in confusion: "You asked to see the crown prince, but the crown prince doesn't want to see you right now. What's wrong with that?"
He's the crown prince! Whatever he does is right! The county magistrate is very supportive of this principle.
The middle-aged general frowned.
I feel a little uncomfortable with the attitude of these border officials.
The middle-aged general's name is Wan Boqi. His military achievements cannot be underestimated. He was even awarded the title of Inspector General.
Unfortunately, the old emperor later became more and more dependent on his eldest son and became more wary of the other military generals. Not to mention Fu Yi's stirring up trouble in the court, the emperor became more and more focused on civil officials and suppressed military officials.
In terms of closeness to the emperor, Wan Boqi cannot compare with people like Jiang Shenyuan in the imperial guards.
So I was neglected for several years.
Fortunately, King Liang has always treated his military generals well.
But there was no reason to ask him to serve King Liang's daughter.
What crown prince? A bunch of civil officials are going to stir up trouble again? His Royal Highness Prince Liang has been bewitched and used his daughter as a puppet for those treacherous officials.
During this journey, Wan Boqi was concerned about how to save Huaiyuan from danger and restore his former dignity. He was also thinking about how to persuade the crown prince to understand the twists and turns involved and not to take advantage of her.
But he never expected that... they didn't even meet in person!
The deputy general said urgently, "How critical is the situation in Huaiyuan? If the crown prince does not show up, I'm afraid you will have to forgive us for our bold actions and lead the troops to quell the rebellion first!"
The military generals were not all reckless men. They certainly understood that the crown prince came to the border town to establish his authority through Huaiyuan.
But they can't be the only ones doing the hard work. The crown prince doesn't show up, but he still wants to take credit!
"Wait, General," the county magistrate said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "I was just about to say that the Wenxiang camp is in chaos and is currently unable to attack Huaiyuan."
"Great chaos?" Wan Boqi frowned even more tightly.
How could such chaos come from? With the few soldiers Fu Yi brought with him?
"Yes, chaos! The leading official, Liang Xiang, was killed by the Crown Prince himself. Shen Tu Yu, who was beside him, was so enraged that he chased after them, and lost his deputy general's life as well."
"Not only that, the Third Prince is now staying in Huaiyuan, and the Fifth Prince, who Liang Xiang originally wanted to promote to the throne, has also been brought to Huaiyuan by the Crown Prince and is being held captive."
The county magistrate finished speaking in one breath and immediately looked at the generals opposite him with expectation.
Shocked, right? Admired, right?
That was their mood at the time.
The county magistrate was now looking forward to seeing their reactions, and for some reason he felt a sense of pride.
Wan Boqi and the other lieutenants: “…?”
Are you telling a story here?
The county magistrate was so excited that it seemed a little abnormal to them.

Fu Yi lowered the curtain, touched Cheng Nianying's wrist, and pulled it out of the quilt.
The doctor carefully wiped his hands, placed the pulse pillow, and pressed on the pulse.
Cheng Nianying naturally woke up from the noise and stared at the doctor.
Fu Yi was sitting on the side and didn't see it, his expression was slightly solemn.
——If it is a difficult and complicated disease caused by the historical legacy of the medication used in Shaoqu Tower, will it be too late when Imperial Physician Tong arrives?
A gloomy feeling of annoyance spread in Fu Yi's heart.
He called Wu Xun and said, "Send someone back to the Imperial Capital as fast as possible. Bring two strong young imperial physicians here first. Imperial Physician Tong can go slower."
When the doctor heard this, he felt puzzled and took the patient's pulse several times.
Cheng Nianying was puzzled at this moment. She lifted the curtain with one hand and turned to look at Fu Yi: "What's wrong?"
"Are you awake?"
"Well, he put his hand on me and I woke up."
Fu Yi suddenly found himself amused. Why did he suddenly lose his temper?
Yes, she just slept a little longer, but she woke up well.
Her cheeks were rosy, her energy was full, and her eyebrows and eyes looked more delicate than before.
Without the cold expression, she is even more charming.
Fu Yi raised his hand and pressed his forehead to calm down.
But he still asked the doctor, "Sir, what did you find out from taking my pulse?"
The doctor hesitated.
Am I really not good at medicine?
He took the pulse again.
Then, he was really at his wit's end and said, "Forgive my incompetence. I've looked over and over, but I can't diagnose any illness. Even an apprentice in my shop can diagnose the disease right away just by looking at the pulse."
"Your Excellency is pregnant." He said, "Other than that, I can't see anything else..."
He fell to his knees.
Fu Yi's soul seemed to fly away at that moment.
He clenched his fingers tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands and neck bulged.
"……What did you say?"
