Chapter 1442 Good News

The next day, Li was worried that her mother's family was sick. For Li, who seldom fell ill, this illness was quite severe.

Zhulan looked at Li, who looked much more haggard after the night. "You are not the type to hide things. It's hard for you to have not mentioned your parents' home for so long."

The anger that was suppressed in my heart turned into a severe illness, with blisters popping up all night long.

Li's nose was covered with blisters, and her mouth was also sore. It hurt whenever she moved. She said pitifully, "Mother is worried about more people. I don't want her to worry about me."

Zhulan was really not worried about the war in Northeast China. Alas, knowing too much would make her feel lonely. She was also feeling suffocated because she couldn't speak. "Don't keep it in your heart in the future. Just say whatever you want to say."

Li's eyes were filled with tears. "Yeah."

In the end, I still made my mother-in-law worried. Every time I moved the corners of my mouth it hurt, so I wiped my tears and dared not move anymore.

The soup was brought in with a pungent smell. It contained a lot of antipyretic medicine. Li drank the soup in pain. Even eating sugar did not reduce the bitter taste. She had bouts of dry nausea.

Zhulan reached out and patted Li's back, "Don't worry, I don't think we'll reach Pingzhou."

In order to lure the enemy deeper into the country, the emperor did give up several border states, but he would not give up Pingzhou. If he really took Pingzhou, it would mean giving up half of the states in the northeast. The grain production has already decreased this year, and the court cannot afford such a loss.

Lee, "Yeah."

Zhulan knew that she could not comfort Li. As the life of all the members of the Li family was at stake, Li would not blindly believe her words, even if they were true.

Li waited for her mother-in-law to leave, then lay on the bed without moving. She really wanted to believe her mother-in-law's words, but there had been no good news from the northeast. The Li family of more than 40 people were now looking to the Zhou family. As long as no one from the Zhou family left, her parents would not leave.

In the mountain village, Rongchuan's well-hidden whereabouts were exposed, and the assassin was relentless in hunting him, so he could only hide in the mountain village.

It rained heavily last night, covering up all traces. The leader of the assassination team came back from his inspection and said, "The assassin didn't catch up."

Rong Chuan was relieved and said, "We hid our whereabouts very well, but the assassins still found us. They will not stop until they kill me."

The leader of the death squad said, "I will escort the prince back to the capital safely."

Rong Chuan sighed. In the past two days of pursuit, many of the assassins who escorted him died, and even the assassins' leader was injured. "Since the small mountain village is safe, we will stay here for a few more days, and you guys should also take good care of your injuries."

"yes."

Rong Chuan turned back to the house and saw that his wife hadn't drunk much porridge. "No appetite?"

Xue Han touched her bulging belly and said, "Hmm, I don't have much appetite."

Rong Chuan also looked at his wife's belly. The continuous pursuit had caused the child to be in labor again. "This child is suffering."

Xue Han felt a pang of pain in her heart, "I'm really worried that the baby will be born with a weak body."

She had two miscarriages and bled, but the baby was still in her belly. She couldn't bear to leave her mother.

Rongchuan was also upset. "I will rest in the mountain village this time and start again when I am well."

Xue Han, "Is it safe here?"

"Safety."

Xue Han breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was safe, she and her child couldn't stand the running around anymore.

Rongchuan held his wife's hand and said, "The baby will be born safely and will grow up healthy."

Xue Han shook his hand back, "He will grow up healthy."

The next day, something happened in the palace last night. Princess Yiqi tried to murder the heir to the throne, and Princess Aruna's child died in her womb. The emperor was furious and interrogated the princess of Yiqi overnight. He found out that Yiqi pretended to submit, and the borrowing of troops was just a pretense to attack the northeastern tribes from both sides.

This time, Aruna discovered that the Yi Banner tribe was plotting to murder the royal heir, and the conspiracy was exposed. The grassland tribes invaded the border and provoked a war. They had wolfish ambitions and this time they would not be tolerated.

Zhou Shuren stood in the hall, listening to the emperor listing the reasons why he would not show any leniency. He didn't know whether the princess of the Yi Banner had brought a mission with her when she entered the palace. He only knew that this was all the emperor's calculations and that the emperor stood on the side of justice.

At the same time, far to the north, the prince of the Yi Banner tribe rode on his horse and looked at King Liang fiercely, "What is the purpose of King Liang surrounding us?"

King Liang played with the whip in his hand, "The Yi Banner tribe pretended to borrow troops, but secretly joined forces with the northeastern tribes to attack me. Why do you think I surrounded you?"

The prince of Yiqi tribe felt depressed. "Your Highness has believed the rumors. My tribe has already surrendered. My sister is the emperor's concubine. How could we unite with the northeastern tribes?"

King Liang sneered, "You won't cry until you see the coffin. Someone show our prince."

The prince caught the letter and read it page by page. There was no need to say anything. Everything about the Yi Banner was under surveillance. He dropped the letter, drew his sword and shouted, "Kill them all."

King Liang rode back and waved his hand, holding his shield in front of him. The archers tied burning medicine bags to their arrows and waved their hands again, and thousands of arrows emitted thick smoke.

King Liang had already ridden his horse to a high place, and he watched with cold eyes as the soldiers of the Yi Banner fell off their horses one after another. Two quarters of an hour later, the shields were removed, and only the horses of the Yi Banner were left supporting their masters who were lying on the ground. Some had died of poison, and some had been shot by arrows.

When King Liang heard the report that no one was left alive, he took a breath of cold air. So the most cruel one is the emperor. This secret medicine cannot be detected after taking it. It will only produce a strong poison when it encounters incompatible herbs.

The Yi Bannermen walked slowly and were unaware that they were already deeply poisoned. If they had not eaten for a long time, the poison would not have taken effect in just two quarters of an hour.

King Liang took a deep breath and said, "Send the news back to the capital. All the Yi Bannermen have been annihilated."

"yes."

"Strip the Yiqi tribe of their clothes and put them on. We will use their tricks against them."

General Qian rubbed his hands and said, "Yes."

This time they can finally kill to their heart's content. The soldiers have been so frustrated these days trying to act realistically.

At Zhou's house, Linxi and Ze'er left the palace again. Linxi said, "The Empress Dowager wants to recuperate, so she sent us to live outside the palace."

The Empress Dowager is worried about Rongchuan, who has been in poor health. The Empress needs to take care of the baby, and now something has happened in the palace. The two children are safer in the Zhou Mansion.

"You and grandma should wait for your parents to come back."

Linxi didn't know the reason why the Empress Dowager was sick at first. Although the Empress Dowager ordered not to tell her, she still knew it. In the palace, in order not to worry the Empress Dowager, she had been holding it in. Now that she had left the palace and saw her grandmother, she couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, my parents will return to Beijing safely, right?"

Zhulan paused, "Well, your parents will return to Beijing safely, and they will come to pick you and Ze'er up in person."

Linxi lay in her grandmother's arms. The palace was empty and she was very scared. "My parents said they would teach me how to ride a horse."

"I will definitely choose a beautiful pony for Linxi when the time comes."

There were dark circles under Linxi's eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept well for a long time.

Zhulan held her granddaughter and patted her rhythmically. When she heard her granddaughter fall asleep, she raised her hand and touched the little girl's hair. Royal children are naturally precocious. This time, when Rongchuan got into trouble, Linxi was forced to grow up.

Now the grassland tribe is in a bad situation. The oncoming cannon is too powerful, which will hit the morale of the grassland tribe soldiers. In order to boost morale, they will intensify the pursuit of Rongchuan. Rongchuan is the best person to sacrifice.

Time flies. As imperial edicts are issued from the capital, troops quickly gather in the northwest, waiting for the order to charge out of the city. The northwest is waiting, waiting for a great victory in the northeast.

The news of the great victory in Northeast China was first sent back to the capital. The emperor laughed and said, "Good, good."

Although Zhou Shuren was confident, he was still worried about the results. Now he is finally relieved.

All the ministers in the study had happy expressions on their faces.

But the emperor's smile soon disappeared and his eyes were fixed on the good news.

The retired emperor was also there. He took the victory report from the emperor's hand and held it tightly.
