Chapter 386 They Can’t Even Compare to Yue Er’s Hair
A huge group of people and horses galloped on the official road, raising dust and rolling up thousands of waves.
Inside the carriage, the Queen Mother reclined on a soft couch with a specially made spring mattress beneath her. Even the bumpy road did not disturb her at all.
However, there was a lingering worry between her brows, "Why do I always feel uneasy in my heart?" The Queen Mother murmured softly, her eyes looking through the gap in the curtain at the vague shadows of the mountains in the distance.
Upon hearing this, the nanny comforted her gently, "Don't think too much, Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother shook her head slightly and snorted, "Yuan'er, this child, may seem aloof, but he's actually very thoughtful. He told me to go to Huguo Temple to rest, but I always feel like he's hiding something. I feel a little uneasy."
Upon hearing this, the nanny smiled and said, "The prince is also concerned about your health. You see, for this trip, the prince has arranged every detail perfectly."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother said nothing more, but just gently closed her eyes and fell into a doze.
Her heart was like a surging wave, unable to calm down. Her two sons, clearly her biological children, were with an enemy...
After traveling all night, the group finally arrived at a small town early the next morning.
When the townspeople saw such a huge team, they stopped to watch and talked about it.
At this time, Mo Liyuan received a secret letter from the secret guard in Fengcheng. He opened the envelope, quickly read it, and his face instantly became solemn.
"Mo Ying!" He called out in a deep voice. Deputy General Mo Ying rushed over upon hearing the sound, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said, "What are your commands, Your Highness?"
"Leave immediately with the army, and the king and princess will follow."
Mo Ying took the order and turned around to lead his troops on the journey.
Lan Xiyue stepped forward and asked with concern, "Has there been any change in Fengcheng?"
Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes: "Mo Jicang gathered his troops and prepared to attack Fengcheng. Although Fengcheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack, with Gao Yuan and Meng Yu, those two losers, here..."
He didn't continue speaking, but Lan Xiyue already understood the implication of his words.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned, "Yuan'er, I will go to the Huguo Temple on my own. You don't have to worry about me. I have my guards with me. You should rush to Fengcheng immediately. National affairs are more important. You don't have to worry about me here."
Mo Liyuan glanced at Lan Xiyue beside him, his deep eyes filled with tenderness. He whispered softly, "It's okay. Yue'er has to go burn incense for her mother-in-law anyway. She can escort the Queen Mother to the Huguo Temple on the way. After that, Yue'er and I will continue our journey together."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible hint of relief flashing in her eyes.
It is truly rare to see how deeply her youngest son loves Lan Xiyue.
After breakfast, the group set out on their journey again.
This time, Lan Xiyue sat in the Queen Mother's carriage. The carriage was filled with a faint scent of incense, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
The Queen Mother was old and in poor health. Lan Xiyue accompanied her carefully along the way, sometimes telling her some funny stories to make her happy. Whenever the Queen Mother felt unwell, Lan Xiyue would massage her acupoints. The Queen Mother could not help but praise her for her precise techniques and appropriate strength.
Along the way, thanks to Lan Xiyue's careful care, the Queen Mother seemed particularly energetic.
The nanny watched this scene from the side, her heart filled with emotion: "Although we are in a hurry, with the company and care of the Regent Princess, the Queen Mother has not had any headaches or heart palpitations since then. It is really rare."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Lan Xiyue kindly, "Yes, it's all thanks to Yueyue. Fengcheng is a long way off, and the battlefield is extremely dangerous. Yuan'er actually asked you to go with him. I really don't know what he was thinking. Otherwise, Yueyue, why don't you wait for him with me at Huguo Temple?"
Before Lan Xiyue could respond, Mo Liyuan's slightly resentful voice could be heard from the carriage: "Mother, wherever I go, Yue'er will follow. She is my princess, and I will protect her."
These days, seeing Lan Xiyue accompanying the Queen Mother wholeheartedly, Mo Liyuan has felt a little jealous.
The cruelty and ruthlessness of the battlefield had made him hesitate whether to let Lan Xiyue go with him. However, they had just gotten married, and a day without seeing each other felt like a long time. He really couldn't bear to be separated from Yue'er. Moreover, Yue'er had to go to Fengcheng with him in order to earn merit.
The queen mother sat in the car, a hint of displeasure between her brows. She glanced out the window unhappily and glared at Mo Liyuan, her tone blaming her: "You little brat! Fengcheng is a long way away, and the battlefield is full of swords and mercies. You actually let Yueyue go with you to Fengcheng."
Lan Xiyue sat beside the Queen Mother with a gentle smile on her face. She gently patted the back of the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Mother, your daughter-in-law's medical skills are no worse than those of a military doctor. I can provide backup and even treat the wounded."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother gently patted the back of Lan Xiyue's hand, her eyes filled with heartache: "I love you so much that I married Yuan'er and followed you to Fengcheng. Also, you are the Regent Princess now. There are military doctors in the barracks, so you don't need to treat the wounded."
Lan Xiyue smiled slightly, "My daughter-in-law is not a secluded woman, she is not afraid of hardship. Moreover, I also know martial arts. I can not only treat injured soldiers, but also work with Mo Liyuan to kill the rebels. Mother, you can rest assured."
Seeing this, the nanny beside her couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Highness, don't you say it? Our Regent Princess is really a perfect match for the Prince."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled with relief and nodded, "Yes, there were so many rich young ladies back then, but Yuan'er didn't fancy any of them. Now it seems that our Yueyue and Yuan'er are the best match. Unlike those rich young ladies, who only do embroidery and play the piano and recite poetry, how can they compare to our Yueyue's intelligence and courage."
Mo Liyuan, who was outside the carriage, heard the Queen Mother's praise and a proud smile appeared on his lips: "They can't even compare to Yue'er's hair."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the carriage was suddenly filled with laughter.
A few days later, the group finally arrived at Huguo Temple.
Lan Xiyue helped the empress dowager slowly get off the carriage. The abbot of the Huguo Temple had been waiting for a long time.
He clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Amitabha, Queen Mother, Regent, the rooms are ready. Please move forward."
Lan Xiyue helped the empress dowager across the courtyard and followed the little monk who led the way to the backyard room.
The interior of the room is decorated simply and elegantly, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.
The Queen Mother looked at Lan Xiyue, her eyes full of love: "Yueyue, I have someone to serve me here, you should hurry up and leave me alone."
