Seeing Gao Hongyuan's pale face, Lin Wanqing knew that he had indeed exhausted himself trying to prove himself today.
"Gao Hongyuan, you should rest first. I'll have someone send some tonics. I'll prepare the thousand men for you and let you know when the time comes. Oh, and there's something else I need you to do."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders. Ahem~~" Gao Hongyuan bowed.
Watching Lin Wanqing's departing figure, and recalling the poison he had swallowed in front of her, Gao Hongyuan's eyes flickered.

On the Great Chu side, right after the morning court session, Xiao Yanchu turned around and went straight to the Imperial Hospital.
Upon hearing that the Regent had arrived again, Wu Tidian grabbed his medicine chest and was about to run off, saying, "Tell the Regent I'm going on a house call."
But before Wu could finish speaking, Xiao Yanchu had already entered. Seeing Wu's expression, she knew he was about to leave and quickly stepped forward to grab him.
"Wu, please stay a while longer. The princess is now more than four months pregnant. What kind of physical reactions might she experience? Is there anything she needs to pay special attention to this month? The princess's belly moved yesterday."
Wu Tidian could only force a smile and repeat the pregnancy precautions she had mentioned countless times to the Regent.
Ever since the Regent learned that the Princess was pregnant, whenever the Princess made any move, the Prince would come to Wu the next day to ask if there was anything wrong with her health.
Wu was very patient at first, explaining things to Xiao Yanchu carefully and meticulously, and even wrote down all the precautions.
Even so, the prince still frequently asked him the same questions, and after a while, Wu Tidian got a headache.
In fact, the princess's medical skills were superb. Although sometimes doctors cannot heal themselves, she could easily take her own pulse during pregnancy and prescribe some medicine to prevent miscarriage. She could even prescribe better medicine than the imperial physicians. Wu felt that he was completely useless.
When Wu had taken the princess's pulse before, he knew that the princess and her unborn child were in much better condition than ordinary pregnant women, which must be because the princess had taken very good care of herself.
Wu complained inwardly, but dared not say anything, and could only patiently explain again.
“Your Highness, I have already examined the Princess Consort’s pulse. Both the Princess Consort and the baby in her womb are in good health. Your Highness need not worry too much. It is normal for the fetus to move in the fourth month of pregnancy, so it is perfectly normal for the Princess Consort to feel these movements.”
Yesterday, Xiao Yanchu felt the baby in A Jin's belly move for the first time. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep for half the night, staring at A Jin's belly, afraid of missing the baby move again.
But then he worried that now that the child was moving, there might be things he didn't know he needed to be careful about, so he came to ask Wu for advice.
Having received Wu's helpful answer, Xiao Yanchu left happily.
Seeing the Regent, whom everyone usually feared, become like this after the Queen became pregnant, Wu could only sigh and shake his head. Indeed, even heroes cannot resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
Su Ruojin has now become a treasure in the eyes of the Prince's Mansion and the Su family. All the tonics that Madam Su prepared for Xing Yue would be sent to the Prince's Mansion.
With the addition of the things prepared by the Dowager Consort and Old Madam Zhao, Su Ruojin visibly became rounder.
If it weren't for the fact that both she and the imperial physician said that the pregnant woman was eating too much, the fetus was too large, and childbirth would be dangerous, she probably would have been fed like a piglet.
Everyone surrounded Su Ruojin and asked her one question: Was she carrying a boy or a girl?
Wu only gave her a medical consultation when Mo Han was in critical condition; he didn't have time to think about that then.
Upon returning, Su Ruojin refused to allow the imperial physicians to treat her, insisting that she herself was the doctor and that only she knew the answer to that question.
But Su Ruojin just wouldn't say.
In her words, it's about maintaining the mystery; we'll find out on the day she gives birth.
Xiao Yanchu was initially curious, but later she became more open-minded, saying that it didn't matter whether it was a man or a woman.
Speaking of her child, Su Ruojin missed Xiaobao a little.
"Yanchu, let's go see Xiaobao."
Xiao Bao has been at Qingyue Mountain for so long, I wonder how he is doing now.
She had promised to visit Xiaobao, but various things kept delaying her trip.
“Ah Jin, you’re not in the right condition to travel right now. Let’s go after you give birth.” Xiao Yanchu disagreed, since Ah Jin was now heavily pregnant.
"The road to Qingyue Mountain isn't difficult. You can just come with me. Pregnant women need to exercise more to make childbirth easier. If you keep me confined to the palace, I'll get depression."
Su Ruojin had already explained the topic of prenatal depression to Xiao Yanchu, and Xiao Yanchu also knew that it was important to keep pregnant women in a good mood.
Seeing Su Ruojin's expectant expression, Xiao Yanchu had no choice but to nod, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, no sooner had Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu left the capital than uninvited guests arrived at the Su family.
