Chapter 387 I will protect you from now on
The King of Xiliang who was standing next to him was about to ask something when he saw that True Man Qingyun suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Real man, what's wrong with you?"
"Quick, please get the miracle doctor here!"
The miracle doctor mentioned by the King of Xiliang is naturally not Doctor Bai.
It was Doctor Bai’s junior fellow apprentice, Fang Jie.
When Fang Jie arrived, True Man Qingyun had stopped vomiting blood, but his face was as pale as paper, and he was sitting there leaning back, as if he had fainted.
When he saw Fang Jie, the King of Xiliang immediately said, "Divine Doctor, please come and take a look at the real person!"
One is Fang Jie, the other is True Man Qingyun.
It was because of these two people that the King of Xiliang had the confidence and always had his eyes on the land of Da Chu.
Nothing must happen to these two.
Fortunately, after Fang Jie used the silver needle, True Man Qingyun slowly woke up.
The King of Xiliang quickly asked, "Master, what happened?"
True Man Qingyun shook his head. "The backup plan I had with the Queen Mother of Great Chu has been completely wasted."
King Xiliang: "How is that possible? She is the Queen Mother of Great Chu, and Emperor Minghe is the most filial."
Over the years, they used the Queen Mother of Great Chu to plant many nails in Great Chu, although most of the nails were pulled out by Emperor Minghe.
But as long as the Queen Mother of Great Chu is kept as a line, there will be no shortage of opportunities to add more people in the future.
But, should we tell him now that the line through the Queen Mother of Great Chu is no longer useful?
True Man Qingyun closed his eyes, "Because the Queen Mother of Great Chu did something that Emperor Minghe will never forgive him for."
King Xiliang: "What's the matter?"
True Man Qingyun: "She killed the person that Emperor Minghe loved the most."
King Xiliang: “…”
How could you commit suicide like this?
King Xiliang: "But you should help her do this very secretly, so there won't be any handle left, right?"
True Man Qingyun: "Logically speaking, there is no evidence. The only people who know about this matter, besides the Queen Mother of Great Chu herself, is her confidant Sun Fuhai."
"But Sun Fuhai is loyal to the Queen Mother of Great Chu and has no second thoughts. He would never tell anyone even if he dies."
At this time, Fang Jie, who was sitting next to him and wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, raised his head.
He said: "Maybe sometimes, he doesn't want to say it, but he can't control it."
The King of Xiliang was shocked, "How is that possible?"
Fang Jie didn't continue.
Because he suddenly remembered that his master seemed to have mentioned a kind of medicine that could make people speak the truth.
The prescription was extremely strange and complicated, and even when my master was alive, I hadn't figured it out.
However, his senior brother has always been more insightful than him. Maybe he can figure it out?
Of course, Fang Jie would not tell the King of Xiliang and the others that his senior brother was more intelligent and skilled in medicine than him...
**
At the end of January, the army of Great Chu returned to the capital.
Emperor Minghe was very pleased and rewarded generously.
Everyone was surprised when Duanmu Jin was conferred the title of princess, enjoyed a fiefdom, and was even allowed to set up a government office outside.
But it doesn't seem surprising.
In this attack on southern Xinjiang, Duanmu Jin was no longer a concubine in the harem, but a female general on the battlefield, who made great contributions.
She was also wounded by an arrow, but fortunately the injury was not to a vital part.
The Princess's Mansion had not been tidied up yet, so Duanmu Jin naturally returned to her own Jin Palace first. Queen Jiang immediately brought people to visit her.
"Let me see where you are hurt?"
When Queen Jiang heard that she was injured, she was immediately worried.
Especially when he saw that Duanmu Jin had become thinner and darker, and had calluses on his fingers from holding weapons.
Her eyes instantly turned red.
Duanmu Jin was fine at first, but when she saw Queen Jiang’s eyes turn red, she instantly returned to the days when they were sisters in the harem.
Although she became a female general, she became Queen Jiang.
But nothing seems to have changed.
Duanmu Jin: "Don't worry, Queen. I was only shot in the shoulder by an arrow. It was far away, so the wound is not very deep. It has almost healed now."
Queen Jiang: "I need to see your wound to feel relieved!"
Duanmu Jin had no choice but to ask everyone to leave, then unbuttoned his clothes and exposed his shoulders.
Indeed, the wound healed well, but seeing that it would definitely leave a scar, Queen Jiang shed tears.
"Did it hurt at that time?"
Duanmu Jin: "At that time, we were about to win, so we didn't feel any pain. Instead, we were very excited."
"Queen, you can't imagine how great it feels to gallop on horseback and fight bravely with the army."
Queen Jiang was not good at riding or shooting, and she did not dare to go to the battlefield.
So I couldn’t imagine what was so exciting about that scene. Instead, I felt fear and terror in my heart.
But she looked at the dancing light in Duanmu Jin's eyes, which looked like stars, and she said with emotion: "I feel that you, like Aya, should not be confined to the backyard."
"By the way, in fact, before this time, His Majesty asked me in advance about the reward I would give you. He also thought about making you an imperial concubine and bringing a child from a branch family to sit on your lap."
"The other option is to let you set up your own government, become a female general, and enjoy the food and fiefdom of a princess."
"I replied to your majesty at that time and told him that you longed for freedom."
The smile on Duanmu Jin's face paused slightly.
Queen Jiang suddenly became nervous and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Duanmu Jin suddenly reached out and hugged her, "Queen, you are right. If I really fought a war and came back to be named the Imperial Noble Consort Laozi, I would go and quarrel with His Majesty."
Queen Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
She thought she had done something wrong.
"Then why do you have this expression?"
Duanmu Jin: "After I leave the palace, you are the only one left in the harem. What if someone bullies you again?"
Queen Jiang was stunned for a long time, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing her crying more and more fiercely, Duanmu Jin was frightened, and she tried to comfort her in a panic:
"Did I say something wrong this time? Stop crying. If you keep crying, His Majesty will come to hold me accountable later!"
Queen Jiang held up a handkerchief to her eyes and said, "No, he won't."
"I am just moved by you."
"It's not easy for you, but you still care about me. I, I am so touched."
"Wait for me to cry, and everything will be fine after I finish crying."
Duanmu Jin: “…”
She had no choice but to pull the queen and sit on the chaise longue. When Queen Jiang had cried enough, Duanmu Jin quickly asked someone to bring eggs and warm water.
After the eggs were peeled, Duanmu Jin wanted to apply them to Queen Jiang's eyes, but Queen Jiang felt embarrassed and took the eggs herself.
"I can do it myself."
Duanmu Jin: "How can I leave the palace without any worries if you are like this?"
She even wanted to take Queen Jiang with her.
Queen Jiang smiled and said, "You all always think about me and worry about me. You have protected me for so long, and it is time for me to protect you."
"I am already the queen now. When Jing Yu ascends the throne, I will be the queen mother."
"I will protect you from now on!"
Looking at the people who were bullied by Su Tanxin in the past and looked like water, now they say with bright eyes that they will come to protect them.
Duanmu Jin: "How can you protect us when you cry all the time?"
Queen Jiang clenched her fists and said, "I, I never cry in front of bad people. Oh, and before, I never cried in front of the Queen Mother!"
Duanmu Jin: "You still mentioned it. The Queen Mother is very shrewd. She is still the elder. If she bullies you, don't you have no way to deal with it?"
Queen Jiang looked around, then lowered her voice and whispered:
"Don't worry, the old lady, the Queen Mother, won't be around for much longer."
Even if my sister's death had nothing to do with the Queen Mother, His Majesty also said that he would send the old lady away.
Let her chant sutras in peace in a temple in the future.
She will never be allowed to cause any trouble in the palace again.
After hearing this, Duanmu Jin finally felt relieved.
"That's fine too. When Qing Ning becomes the queen and comes to the harem, you will listen to her from now on."
Queen Jiang nodded vigorously, "That's what I planned too!"
She knew that her daughter-in-law was more capable than herself, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Duanmu Jin's words.
It was decided that Duanmu Jin would leave the palace.
We will move out when the Princess's Mansion is completed.
As for Chen Ya and the Chen family army, they had already received too many rewards. This time, Emperor Minghe directly conferred the title of King of Northern Frontier on General Chen.
He became the first king of a different surname in the Great Chu.
Because Chen Ya's eldest brother has married and had children in Saibei, which means Yongsheng is stationed in Saibei.
Several generations of the Chen family devoted themselves to defending the northern frontier.
This time, Chen Ya made great contributions when he followed the army to attack southern Xinjiang.
Being named the first king of the opposite sex is no exaggeration at all.
General Chen will come back in the middle of this year. Now that he is old, he will live in the capital for a long time and enjoy his old age.
It is worth mentioning that General Chen had an adopted son, Cen Jue.
Everyone said that Cen Jue was very lucky. When the Cen family collapsed along with the Ninth Prince, he unexpectedly transformed himself and got ashore smoothly, becoming the adopted son of General Chen.
And now, General Chen was named King of Northern Frontier, even though Cen Jue was just an adopted son, his status also rose with the tide.
Seeing this, the former members of the Cen family felt particularly complicated.
No matter how complicated their feelings were, the Chen family was happy.
Chen Ya even brought Nalan Zhu'er with her, and made an appointment with Jiamin and Wei Shuhe to go to the East Palace to visit Lin Qingning.
Logically speaking, Lin Qingning should have been in confinement for more than a month, but because her body was damaged during childbirth, Wei Shuhe suggested that she stay in confinement for another month.
She couldn't go out, so several young ladies came to visit her.
Nalan Zhu'er is now more than five months pregnant. The fetus is completely stable and she looks very healthy.
Princess Jiamin looked at Nalan Zhu'er's belly and said, "Zhu'er, you won't give birth to a boy by then, will you?"
You know, she and Shu He both gave birth to boys, but she was jealous of Qing Ning's little Xiyao.
When Nalan Zhuer heard this, she immediately said, "I don't want to give birth to a boy. I also want to give birth to a cute girl like Xiao Xiyao!"
"I've thought it through. When I give birth to a daughter, I can let her marry Brother Teng!"
If nothing unexpected happens, Teng Ge'er will become the crown prince and the next heir to the prince.
His future daughter-in-law would not be chosen so hastily.
To be more precise, even Xiao Xiyao's future husband would not be chosen easily.
But Lin Qingning did not mention these things when everyone was happy. Looking at them fighting for them, she just felt it was a little funny.
Suddenly, something felt wrong.
Lin Qingning turned her head and saw Chen Ya sitting at the edge, drinking tea from a teacup.
The teapot next to it is actually empty...
Lin Qingning felt distressed.
"Aya."
