Zhao Min rode back to the city at full speed.
And just as she returned to the city, Wang Baobao happened to meet her.
Although Zhao Min had wiped the tears from her face, Wang Baobao, a general who had fought for many years, could still see the expression of frustration on Zhao Min's face.
Wang Baobao didn't dare say much, but just bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Min nodded slightly and said, "General, you have worked hard. Let the soldiers have a good rest."
Wang Baobao didn't dare to look up, because Zhao Min's attire at the moment did not allow him to look up and speak.
But then again, Zhao Min didn't want to give him a chance to speak.
Zhao Min rode away on her horse, and after a moment, she returned to where she currently lived.
But when she got off the horse, she felt a piercing pain in her feet again.
Zhao Min's feet had already suffered some skin injuries during the chase, and just now, when she was riding a horse, the iron stirrup tore off a small piece of her skin.
This time, her injuries were even more serious.
The maids in the mansion knelt down in front of Zhao Min, but one of them took off her coat and put it on Zhao Min.
That maid was the one Zhao Min brought from Longcheng.
The maid said to Zhao Min, "Come with me quickly."
The maid saw the wound on Zhao Min's foot, and for some reason, she grabbed Zhao Min's wrist.
At this moment, every time Zhao Min took a step, she felt a piercing pain on the soles of her feet.
But even so, she still pretended to be calm.
After the maid pulled her into a clean and tidy room, she first lit a few candles, and then quickly asked someone to bring a jar of liquor and a basin of cold water.
Without any explanation, the maid first pressed Zhao Min's feet into the basin of cold water, and then washed them carefully.
Zhao Min was in great pain, but she tried to pretend that she didn't care.
Gradually, cold sweat wet Zhao Min's cheeks.
The maid looked up at Zhao Min and said, "Your Majesty, you must be in pain. Why don't you scream a few times or cry a little?"
Zhao Min said disdainfully: "Screaming or crying are things only little women would do."
The maid said, "Your Majesty is right. You are the empress of the Yuan Dynasty. It would be beneath your dignity if you did something that only a woman could do."
"Then let's talk. This way, you can distract yourself and the pain in your feet may be relieved."
Zhao Min had the same idea. She said to the maid, "You, girl, helped me a lot when we captured Jinyang."
"What a coincidence, that day, I lost one of my shoes during the fight with Yang Xiao. Later, I put on your shoes and continued to attack the city."
The maid couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, Your Majesty took away my shoes, leaving me with nothing to wear. If I were barefoot, stepping on a stone would be very painful. Your Majesty's feet must be worn like this, how painful it must be."
Zhao Min smiled slightly. No matter what, the maid's words just now made her feel a lot warmer in her heart.
"Girl, it's been so long, and I don't think I've asked your name yet."
"What's your name?"
The maid's hand paused for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty, my name is Li Yao. I am alone and helpless, without father or mother. A few years ago, before Zhang Wuji captured Longcheng, I was the concubine of the Yuan army commander, and my parents were killed by you Yuan people a long time ago."
Zhao Min frowned and thought to herself, "Damn it! I just asked this girl's name, why did she say so much? Could it be that she saw that I was in such a miserable state today and wanted to take revenge on me?"
After Li Yao washed Zhao Min's feet with a basin of cold water, he took the jar of wine and said, "Your Majesty, your foot injury is not serious, but the wound is contaminated with a lot of sand and dirt. If you don't want to get infected, you have to wash it again with wine, which will be very painful."
Zhao Min said disdainfully: "I know it will hurt, but no matter how much it hurts, how much more can it hurt?"
Li Yao said: "Your Majesty, I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said just now. You, you are not that kind of stingy person, right?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Girl, you are just telling the truth."
"I'm not that stingy, and I won't vent my anger on you. What's more, didn't I tell you on the day we took Jinyang? I will take care of you and make sure you have enough food and clothing. If I can unify the world again, I will give you a lot of wealth and glory."
A smile appeared on Li Yao's lips: "It seems that His Majesty is not angry. If that's the case, I feel relieved."
"It seems now that Your Majesty injured your foot, which is also a good thing. Although I don't have much contact with you, I can still feel that you must be very tired in your daily life."
"He's not much older than me, but he has to worry about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops."
"Now that my foot is injured, if I want to heal quickly, I must lie in bed for ten days or so."
As she spoke, Li Yao poured the blood in the basin outside the house, and then she poured the jar of wine into the basin.
"Your Majesty, it hurts a lot, please bear with it."
Then, Li Yao suddenly pressed Zhao Min's feet into the basin.
Zhao Min almost fainted from this feeling.
She clenched her teeth, and she didn't know how long it took before the pain in her feet gradually subsided.
Li Yao looked up at Zhao Min and found that Zhao Min's face was pale.
Li Yao said a little nervously: "Your Majesty, if you are really in pain, you can scold me, but don't hit me. Your cultivation is so high, and I have such a small body. I am afraid that you will kill me if you are not careful."
Zhao Min gritted her teeth and said nothing, while Li Yao quickly brought out the best medicine. She carefully applied it on the soles of Zhao Min's feet, and then bandaged her feet with gauze.
"Your Majesty, your injury is not serious. You just need to rest. Just lie here. If you need anything, just call me."
Zhao Min said: "You girl, I almost died of pain just now. I really want to teach you a lesson."
Li Yao said nervously: "Your Majesty, among the maids in this mansion, you may only order me around, and it is relatively easy for me to do so. If you get rid of me, who will serve you?"
Zhao Min said: "I'm just thinking about it, I don't intend to really deal with you."
"Add another bed in this room. From today on, you and the little brat from Zhang Wuji's family will sleep in my room."
"Firstly, I feel uneasy when I can't see that kid. Secondly, you can still talk to me."
