Soldiers 8
Xiao Zhaoming thought, it turned out that what she was about to lose was her life.
“Madam Shen wants the ability to enter other people’s bodies at will?”
Shen Wanyue paused, she didn't expect someone would ask this.
"Of course not. If I had a choice, I would just like to live a good life." This was her answer.
Xiao Zhaoming said nothing more.
Chen Wanyue was afraid that people would not help her, or would simply burn her to death as a monster: "If the prince has any request, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
She may say this, but she may not do it if you really ask her to.
Xiao Zhaoming's eyesight has been getting worse and worse recently.
The worst that could happen was that he would be blind forever. He even felt lucky.
"Even if you go to Mr. Wu, he may not be able to cure your body." He had also gone to see this miracle doctor, but the results were not satisfactory.
Mr. Wu said it was fate and could not be easily changed.
Shen Wanyue replied: "It's better than doing nothing."
"Okay, I can help you."
Hearing this, Shen Wanyue opened her red lips slightly, but said nothing.
She thought it would take a long time to negotiate, but unexpectedly the other party agreed right away.
"I can't bear to see others suffer."
Although he knew Shen Wanyue's background, he didn't intend to tell her about his own affairs.
"Your Majesty is kindhearted." Shen Wanyue said. But in her heart, she was wondering what the other party wanted. There is no free lunch in the world.
The next moment, Xiao Zhaoming said: "But I have a condition."
"What?"
"You need to follow me into the palace tomorrow."
Shen Wanyue is now Lu Zhiyao who killed the local leader. General Yan will definitely take her there. How can he go with Xiao Zhaoming?
I had to explain: "I'm afraid I can't go with the prince."
Xiao Zhaoming asked: "Why?"
He sat on a chair, twirling his sleeves with his fingers, where there were tea stains left from drinking tea in the palace.
"I...I will go in with General Yan, so I can't agree to your request, Your Majesty." This was all Shen Wanyue could say.
Xiao Zhaoming paused for a moment and said, "Whose body are you on now?"
She pursed her lips and said, "They are the soldiers guarding General Yan."
"....Are you a man?" Xiao Zhaoming thought that it would be hard to tell if he was dressed as a woman.
Shen Wanyue's brain was working.
Lu Zhiyao said that he wanted to take back his own achievements. If it was a man, would it still belong to Lu Zhiyao?
"No, the original owner of my body this time was a woman disguised as a man to accompany the army."
"That's right." Xiao Zhaoming thought for a while, "You can go to the palace with General Yan. Just don't disrupt my plan."
I wonder what the plan the prince is talking about is? The last time I cooperated with the prince, he actually concealed something from me. If he does the same thing this time, I don’t know how to disrupt the plan. "Chen Wanyue recalled the pain she felt last time, and she felt resentful towards Xiao Zhaoming, who made her eat the poison but it seemed to have no effect.
Xiao Zhaoming did not feel guilty at all, and his tone was still as gentle as the spring breeze: "Didn't Madam Shen also not act according to what I said? The ending was good, and I didn't pursue it because you died. Otherwise, even if Jileta stopped me, I would not let you have an easy time."
As he finished speaking, the ending tone was like a layer of thin ice that suddenly solidified.
"I am weak, but I can't bear the blame that the prince has put on me." Chen Wanyue's face was not good, "The prince is still unwilling to tell me the truth? I have told you everything about myself."
“Heh, Madam Shen doesn’t feel guilty when she says this.”
"Will Your Majesty tell me?" Shen Wanyue rolled her eyes in her heart.
Xiao Zhaoming sneered and said, “Okay, Madam Shen, come closer and I will tell you.”
Although she felt extremely uncomfortable, she still moved towards Xiao Zhaoming who made the sound.
But I didn't control the strength and my ear lightly touched his thin lips.
"...Go ahead." Chen Wanyue acted as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Zhaoming's lips moved.
The man was slow to speak, so she urged, "Your Majesty?"
“I now believe that Madam Shen is a soldier now.”
"?"baffling.
"My wife smells the same as General Yan."
Say she stinks?
Chen Wanyue's face darkened: "How can the army afford to bathe every day? Who is as particular as the prince?"
"I won't tease you anymore." Xiao Zhaoming put away his smile and whispered in her ear.
This time, Shen Wanyue finally knew his purpose.
——
Gilleta sat on a stone bench outside, picking up leaves that had fallen from the trees, and muttered to herself, "What are they talking about?"
The little girl sat on a stone bench, her feet dangling and swaying, the tassels of the hairpin on her bun swaying, and she said, "I don't think that sister is looking for any relatives, but she is here for Uncle Xiao."
"It seems so?" He said he was here to visit a relative, but he didn't even know his name. When he was at the gate of the palace, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He hadn't even said whether to call the relatives over.
The same thing happened to Xiao Zhaoming. He and Xiao Ya were called out so that they could be alone together.
"Something must be wrong with them!" After a brainstorm, Gillette came to the conclusion.
It should be related to Xiao Zhaoming's plan.
Xiaoya pouted and said, "Can we go inside? It's so hot..."
"Okay, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Jileta took Xiaoya's hand and walked towards his residence.
The person is with Xiao Zhaoming anyway.
I have done a good thing, but I may not be able to do good things in Dajing anymore in the future.
Not long ago, his father wrote to him, saying that Emperor Dajing was considering sending him back. This was a good thing, but he felt empty inside, as if there was something he hadn't accomplished, or someone he hadn't met.
Xiao Zhaoming sent someone to send Shen Wanyue back.
Before that, Shen Wanyue changed her clothes.
As soon as she came back, she met Dr. Lu who was looking for her everywhere.
"Finally I found you. Why didn't you tell me where you were going in advance?" Doctor Lu checked her wound and was relieved to confirm that it had not worsened. At this time, he also noticed that she had changed her clothes.
"Sniff... Eh? Why do you have a fragrance? Before, you smelled like sweat and mud." Doctor Lu told the truth.
Chen Wanyue was in a bad mood: "It's on you too."
"It has a scent, too? That's it."
She ignored him, packed up and went back.
And I happened to meet someone sent by General Yan.
“Brother Lu, come with me. Today you will go to the palace with General Yan to receive your reward.”
"good."
"I'll take you to bathe first."
You can't get through, right?
Shen Wanyue's mouth was straight: "No need, I've washed it."
"Hahaha, good. The clothes you are wearing now... well, they are suitable. Then follow me to see the general."
"Well, please lead the way."
Shen Wanyue is in a bad mood now.
She has always loved cleanliness. Even when she first came to this world and her living conditions were relatively tight, she still wanted to keep a faint floral scent on her body.
This time, I have been doing ideological work in Lu Zhiyao's body for a long time, but it was mentioned repeatedly today. How can I not be angry?
Before I knew it, I was taken to the general's mansion.
The servant came to greet her: "Brother, please follow me. The general is talking to the guests in the front hall."
"Yeah." Shen Wanyue nodded slightly, and the servant led the wooden stick in her hand and continued to walk inside.
After sitting in the room and waiting for a while, General Yan arrived, along with several of his deputy generals. After talking about some precautions and etiquette, it was time to enter the palace.
"Brother Lu, is this your first time in the palace? Don't be nervous."
"Um."
Chen Wanyue thought about it and realized that she had never entered the palace with her body intact.
Xiao Zhaoming told her that things would come to an end today, and what he needed to do was to enter the Queen Mother's body... at the critical moment.
She also said in advance that the Queen Mother's status was special and success might not be guaranteed, and that a medium would be needed, but Xiao Zhaoming told her not to worry, as he had arranged everything.
Just as the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, they got off one after another.
Chen Wanyue couldn't see, and was supported by others the whole time.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly called her: "Lu...Lu Zhiyao?"
She stopped. It was Gillette.
Gilleta walked up to her and said, "So that's your name. Someone asked me to give it to you."
Shen Wanyue took it and found it was a box. It should contain what she needed.
After the delivery, Jileta went into the palace first: "Goodbye, see you later."
General Yan asked again, "What is this?"
Chen Wanyue said, "I asked the prince to get the herbs from the Fang family's pharmacy."
"Yeah." He knew about the Fang family pharmacy, so he didn't ask any more questions. Besides, there was a faint herbal aroma emanating from it.
They first met the emperor in the main hall and were rewarded according to their merits.
The emperor praised everyone, and finally it was time for the celebration banquet.
They moved to the back garden, where officials were already seated. When they saw the emperor coming, they all knelt down and saluted.
"My dear ministers, please stand up."
After sitting down, the emperor said some polite words and then the banquet began.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, but hidden underneath is a greater storm.
The palace maid next to her thoughtfully helped Shen Wanyue to serve the dishes.
It tastes good.
Everyone said some polite words, but not many people flattered Lu Zhiyao, the soldier who had made great contributions.
Because they all knew that she would not become an official, and her broken eyes destined her to be ordinary in the future. At most, she would not have to worry about food and drink.
No one wants to waste their precious time on someone who has no future.
"Such a lively scene reminds me of my previous life with my family. But with the passing of my sister, our home feels a little less festive." General Yan suddenly said this.
Except for Xiao Zhaoming and the emperor, everyone else expressed regret over the death of Concubine Yan.
Only Xiao Zhaoming and the other man knew that it was not an accident.
The emperor's eyes darkened. General Yan suddenly mentioned this, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
If there was a heart, who revealed it?
His eyes turned to Xiao Zhaoming who was leisurely drinking tea.
Xiao Zhaoming noticed the emperor's gaze and looked back without any burden, while raising his teacup: "Your Majesty, I cannot drink alcohol, so I can only offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."
The emperor raised his glass and clinked it with him, and they both drank.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "The Queen Mother is here——"
The officials below stood up one after another, but the emperor did not move. There was a puzzled expression in his eyes, which was not obvious, but he made eye contact with the visitor.
Why is the Queen Mother here?
