Linghu Lan finally felt half relieved.
But there's another half that I can't let go of.
After the court session ended.
Jiang Wujiang finally couldn't help but say:
"Grandma, it seems that Master Hongchen is still in Yucheng..."
The accompanying palace maid kept her eyes down, seemingly lost in thought, and remained silent, even though she had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Linghu Lan sighed silently.
"He's in Yucheng!"
"Why not order him to leave quickly? After all, that place is now a place of great danger."
Linghu Lan: "..."
If she could persuade the world, she would have done so long ago.
But Hongchen is not that kind of person at all!
fall!
...
Yucheng.
Hongchen received another letter from the capital.
He withdrew his hand from a patient, washed it, and then took the envelope, feeling somewhat uneasy.
He feared this was a letter from the regent ordering him to return to the capital immediately, and that he would have no choice but to disobey the decree.
Doctors have the hearts of parents. If he hadn't encountered a plague, all would have been well. But if he had encountered one and abandoned the doctor, he would probably have been depressed and tormented for the rest of his life.
only……
After opening the letter.
He was stunned.
The letter contained not a single word advising him to leave Yucheng. Instead, it appointed him as the head of all the doctors, providing him with the necessary funds, provisions, and medicine, with epidemic prevention as the top priority.
The letter also advised him that if the epidemic could not be controlled, he should not be too insistent on it, because doctors treat illnesses, not fates!
Hongchen looked at the letter and fell silent.
"Senior brother, does the Regent want you to go back?" The young novice was exhausted from helping Hongchen these past few days.
"The Regent is different from others; he has ordered me to lead the people in fighting the epidemic."
Little novice monk: "..."
Yi Shi: "..."
This isn't the regent we know; how could he be so at ease?
Hongchen thought for a moment and casually wrote a reply on the prescription slip: This humble monk respectfully obeys the Regent's decree!
He handed the letter to the courier and then turned to attend to his work.
Until I was busy for a long time.
The young novice monk suddenly called out, "Brother, where should we put the Regent's letter?"
He turned his head, bewildered by the world.
"..."
I forgot to put it back.
...
Linghu Lan chuckled when she received the letter.
This is probably the longest letter Hongchen has ever written to her, increasing from four characters to nine.
It's doubled!
I really want to punch someone!
The palace maid smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this time it's alright. After all, Master Hongchen didn't bring back Your Majesty's letter along with it, which means that Master Hongchen kept it for himself."
Linghu Lan: "..."
hehe!
I bet a dime that guy was so busy he forgot to pack it in!
...
The war between the Wushui Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom lasted for more than a month.
At first, the soldiers were not used to the Wushui Kingdom's style of fighting quickly and decisively, and their fast-paced raiding tactics.
After playing several matches, Guo Feng adjusted his tactics.
After that, good news kept coming in.
After the Wushui Kingdom suffered several consecutive defeats, the court officials began to panic.
In addition, the Yu Kingdom had ample troops and provisions, and was prepared for a protracted war.
The Wushui Kingdom's national strength was clearly inferior to that of the Yu Kingdom. Several defeats caused panic in the court, and calls for peace suddenly rose.
finally……
After Guo Feng launched a surprise attack on the Wushui Kingdom's main camp, scattering tens of thousands of Wushui soldiers and capturing the Wushui Kingdom's main general alive.
The Kingdom of Wushui has sued for peace!
The entire Yu Kingdom was filled with joy and excitement, and everyone was proud and elated.
Linghu Lan pondered for a moment. The national treasury was empty. War and plague had almost depleted it. Moreover, years of continuous warfare had long exhausted the people.
With this in mind, he abandoned the idea of invading the Wushui Kingdom in one fell swoop, and it was time to rest and recuperate.
Not long after, Guo Feng received an imperial edict: agreeing to negotiate peace.
