Chapter 177 Miss
Jiang Zhaoyue came back to his senses.
"Are you hurt?" Hongcao asked.
Jiang Zhaoyue shook his head: "No."
Hong Cao hurriedly cleaned up the broken pieces of the tea bowl, looked at Jiang Zhaoyue and asked, "Crown Princess, are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Jiang Zhaoyue shook her head: "I'm just a little uneasy."
Hongcao said with concern: "I will ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."
Jiang Zhaoyue stopped him: "No, I might be about to give birth, I'm a little nervous."
"Don't be nervous, Princess. The imperial physician and midwife are the best in Jin. You will have a smooth delivery." Hongcao comforted.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "Go and see if there is any letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today."
"yes."
Jiang Zhaoyue was waiting for Pei Jingzhou's letter in the capital.
Pei Jingzhou quickly wrote a letter in his tent and handed it to Pei Jing: "Send it out quickly."
"Yes." Pei Jing left the tent.
Chen Xuanmo, General Li, General Lin and others followed in.
Pei Jingzhou stood up and said, "Let's go."
Chen Xuanmo and his companions did not move.
Pei Jingzhou glanced at them in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xuanmo and the others looked at each other.
General Li said, "The danger is ahead. Why don't you, Your Highness, stay behind at the barracks?"
"If anything happens to you, it will not only be a loss for the border states, but also for the Great Jin." General Lin continued.
Pei Jingzhou was stunned for a moment, then said, "I didn't come here to gain merit, but to charge and kill the enemy with the soldiers. Now the two sides are about to go to war. I'm hiding for my own life. How will the soldiers feel?"
Chen Xuanmo and the others were silent.
Pei Jingzhou continued, "If you fail, won't Le Sheng Danyu pursue you and kill you here?"
Chen Xuanmo and the others were slightly surprised.
Pei Jingzhou continued, "The grievances between the Great Jin and the Southern Jiang Kingdom have lasted for generations. It's time to do everything we can to resolve them once and for all, so that the soldiers will no longer have to shed blood and sacrifice, so that you can return home and reunite with your families, and so that the people of the border states and even the surrounding areas can live in peace."
Chen Xuanmo and the others were moved when they heard this.
Pei Jingzhou said: "Let's go."
With the Crown Prince's resolve, Chen Xuanmo and the others naturally felt obliged to do so. Believing the soldiers' morale would also be greatly boosted, they no longer objected and shouted in unison, "Let's go!"
Pei Jingzhou and several others followed the original plan, each leading a group of soldiers to leave the barracks one after another.
Yan Zhiyi appeared at this time: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Pei Jingzhou saw Yan Zhiyi carrying a medicine box and asked, "Are you going too?"
"Yes, I beg the chief military surgeon to go with you." Yan Zhiyi looked thin and frail, but she had been able to ride horses and hunt since she was a child. However, seeing that most women in the capital were virtuous, she gradually turned to be gentle and quiet.
Fortunately, her basic skills were still there. These days, she followed the chief military doctor and others to collect herbs, treat the wounded, and transport the sacrificed soldiers. She had regained most of her skills in riding, archery, physical fitness, etc. As a military doctor, she had no problem staying in the rear to treat the wounded.
Without waiting for Pei Jingzhou to speak, Chen Xuanmo took out a dagger from his arms and said, "Miss Yan, this dagger can cut iron like mud. You should carry it with you for self-defense."
Miss Yan?
He was previously called Doctor Yan.
Pei Jingzhou and Jiang Zhaoyue had been together for a long time, and unknowingly became as curious as her, quietly watching Yan Zhiyi and Chen Xuanmo.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lieutenant General Chen, but you need a dagger more than I do when charging and killing enemies on the battlefield." Yan Zhiyi refused.
Chen Xuanmo looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Yan Zhiyi took out two packets of medicine powder from her arms and said, "I have this."
"What is this?" Chen Xuanmo asked.
"poison."
Chen Xuanmo was surprised.
"Poison is too time-consuming and consumes too many medicinal materials. It took me three months to make these two packets of powder using scraps. It's not fatal, but if you sprinkle it at a critical moment, it can make the enemy dazed or numb for a moment, giving us time to counterattack or escape. If Lieutenant General Chen doesn't mind, I can give you one packet." Yan Zhiyi handed a packet of powder to Chen Xuanmo.
Chen Xuanmo thought Yan Zhiyi hated him, so she rejected him, but unexpectedly... she gave him the medicine powder as a gift. He was flattered to take it and stuttered when he spoke: "Thank you very much, Miss Yan."
Yan Zhiyi was usually very open and honest, but when she saw Chen Xuanmo like this, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She turned around and saw Pei Jingzhou standing next to her. Her cheeks immediately flushed and she handed him another packet of medicine powder: "Your Highness, this one is for you."
"There are two packs in total, one for you and one for Chen Xuanmo. It's just right. If I take this pack, I would be very tactless." Pei Jingzhou smiled.
"You, you... Your Highness the Crown Prince looks so much like the Crown Princess when he teases people like this. I won't say anything to you anymore." Yan Zhiyi ran to the ranks of military doctors embarrassedly.
Pei Jingzhou looked at Chen Xuanmo: "Miss Yan is fine."
Chen Xuanmo scratched the back of his head happily: "It's pretty good."
Pei Jingzhou didn't say much.
Such a relaxing episode just passed by like that.
Pei Jingzhou and Chen Xuanmo led their troops out together. The two took the safest mountain road. It seemed like they were training troops, but in fact they were splitting up into several groups with General Li, General Lin and others to deploy soldiers first and encircle and suppress the Southern Jiang army.
When night fell, everyone rested on the spot, took out dry food from their pockets, and drank cold water to satisfy their hunger. Those who couldn't sleep chatted to relieve boredom and tension. Some talked about their parents, some talked about their brothers, some talked about their wives and children, and some talked about their ambitions... There was a hint of sadness in the warmth.
Pei Jingzhou leaned against a big rock and looked up at the cold half moon.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what are you thinking about?" If it were in the past, Chen Xuanmo would not dare to ask this question. After spending these days together, Pei Jingzhou is not only His Highness the Crown Prince but also a brother on the battlefield, so he speaks much more casually.
Pei Jingzhou did not hide it and imitated the soldiers' words: "I miss my wife."
"Princess?"
Pei Jingzhou turned around: "What else? How many wives do I have?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean anything else."
"You'd better not have any other intentions, otherwise she won't forgive you."
Yes.
The Crown Princess has many ways to play tricks on people.
Chen Xuanmo thought it was bizarre. He didn't dare to provoke the Crown Princess. Then he thought of something and said, "Is the Crown Princess about to give birth?"
"Well, it's been just these two days. I wonder if she..." She is such a delicate person. She wants others to know and love her when she is cold, hot, suffering or in pain. After giving birth, she will definitely... Pei Jingzhou looked at Banyue again, and tears flashed in his dark eyes.
The same half moon also fell on the Muhua Courtyard of the East Palace.
Jiang Zhaoyue, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up. She looked at the dark surroundings for a long time and was about to go back to sleep when she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
She called out quickly: "Xiangqiao! Xiangqiao!"
