Chapter 246 Yun Zhao and Mu Chengyan are getting married
The following year.
When Yun Zhao was replying to Mu Chengyan's letter, Deputy General Gao walked in.
"Empress Dowager, victory news has arrived from the northwest! A great victory over Hohhot!"
Yun Zhao took the victory report and a steady smile appeared on his face.
This was the first time that Deputy General Gao saw Yun Zhao smile when he received a letter from the Northwest.
Vice Admiral Gao then took the opportunity to pull out a letter from his pocket. "This is a letter from General Xie, which says it tells the details of the war."
Yun Zhao took it.
It did contain details of the battle, but at the end, it mixed in personal feelings and asked, "Zhao Zhao, are you all right?"
Yun Zhao automatically skipped this sentence, put the letter aside, and continued to write a reply to Mu Chengyan with his head down.
At first, Deputy General Gao thought that the reply letter was written to Xie Jingmo.
Waiting happily.
In the end, I didn't mind.
She said to Yun Zhao, "Empress Dowager, you don't know that the northwest is a desolate place. I heard that where the wind blows, not a blade of grass grows. During the most difficult times, General Xie and his soldiers lived on furs and grass, and they managed to get their pay. A few months later, a severe drought struck again. I heard that the sun was so hot that people could die. Marching there would have shed layers of skin every day. Huhehao was also cunning. He took advantage of our army's rest to attack the city, causing us to almost lose the city. The general was seriously injured, but fortunately he recovered in the end. Now we have won a great victory. Your Majesty, please reward him well."
Yun Zhao held the pen in one hand and looked up at Deputy General Gao.
"The Northwest Army wants a reward, and I think you should give one too."
Deputy General Gao was so happy that he hadn't noticed yet. He touched his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. I dare not ask for the reward."
"Really? If it weren't for Vice Admiral Gao going to such great lengths to spread the word, who would know all these details? I imagine Vice Admiral Gao pays so much attention to life in the Northwest, and he must be yearning for it. How about sending you over there to experience the hardships of the Northwest with me, so you don't have to nag me all the time?"
Deputy General Gao almost died of coughing.
“I dare not!”
"I'm just trying to get some good things for the Northwest soldiers."
Yun Zhao stopped talking.
Deputy General Gao quickly retreated.
Before leaving, he took a look at the words written by Yun Zhao, and the word "幕" on it was very conspicuous.
After leaving Yun Zhao, Lieutenant General Gao wrote back to Xie Jingmo.
"Don't worry, he's a good person. He eats well, sleeps well, and is in good health."
"However, I have never mentioned you before. You should give up. This year, you have been busy fighting the war. Yun Zhao is presiding over the government affairs more and more like the queen mother. She also knows how to control various parties. There are many praises in the court. You can rest assured.
In his free time, Yun Zhao would write to Mu Chengyan. I saw that with Yun Zhao's flirting, Mu Chengyan's resentment wouldn't last long. The last time I came in, I heard Yun Zhao asking about Fu Hai's marriage. I guess he's prepared.
At the end of the letter, Vice Admiral Gao wrote in bold, "Just give up! Finding someone on the frontier is better than this wishful thinking."
When Xie Jingmo received the letter, he had just returned from the training ground.
After seeing the letter, I was stunned for more than an hour.
All the soldiers knew that as long as there was news from the capital, the general would definitely look distraught.
But as soon as he puts down the letter, he will be the legendary Rakshasa General again!
A long time after that.
There was no letter from Southwest.
When there was no news, Xie Jingmo would always think that no news was good news.
He didn't even dare to think about what was in Deputy General Gao's mind: the word "marriage".
He had something on his mind and was ambushed, seriously injured and unconscious.
The letter reached the capital.
Deputy General Gao stumbled over to Yun Zhao and begged, "Queen Dowager, please let Jing Mo come back. The military doctor said that Jing Mo is not well. No matter what he has done to offend you, please spare him for the three years of hardship he has endured in the northwest!"
Yun Zhao was stunned.
She hadn't heard from Xie Jingmo for a long time.
Come to think of it, it’s been three years already.
But I didn't expect to receive such news.
"I never let him come to me to apologize like this. Let him come back."
The carriage carrying the gift took more than a month to travel.
The palace doctors were sent to check on him, and they all said he only had one breath left. Deputy General Gao knelt outside Yun Zhao's palace gate and said, "Please, Queen Mother, go and take a look! If he is truly beyond saving, then this is his fate. If he can still be saved, please, Queen Mother, save him!"
Yun Zhao finally went.
The Northwest General must be given some attention.
Yun Zhao gave Xie Jingmo an acupuncture injection. Xie Jingmo woke up groggily, thinking he was dreaming.
He actually laughed.
"Am I dead?"
"I heard that the dead will see the person they want to see the most."
"Now that I can see you, I feel that my death is a good one."
Yun Zhao put away the needle, said nothing, and walked out.
The next day.
When Yun Zhao came to give him acupuncture again, Xie Jingmo had already woken up.
A pair of eyes stared at Yun Zhao infatuatedly.
"I thought you wouldn't care about my life or death anymore."
"I was in the northwest and never thought about coming back alive. Now that I see you, I feel that it's great to be alive. Yun Zhao, it's been a long time since we last met. Won't you come and see me?"
Xie Jingmo spoke with deep affection.
Deputy General Gao couldn't stand it any longer, so he shrank his neck and walked out.
"You're ignoring me?"
"You're still blaming me."
"I know that three years in the northwest is not enough to apologize. I also know that this is all my fault. My fault has made you so sad. I dare not ask you to forgive me. I just hope that I can see you more."
Yun Zhao still didn't say anything.
Give Xie Jingmo acupuncture.
Xie Jingmo cooperated very well, but his eyes followed Yun Zhao's movements and he only looked at Yun Zhao.
It seemed that Yun Zhao was the only one left in his eyes.
"Now that he's awake," Yun Zhao said to Deputy General Gao beside him, "there's no need for acupuncture from now on. Let the imperial physician come and take care of him. The problem shouldn't be serious."
After saying that, Yun Zhao left without looking back.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao leaving with a bitter taste in his mouth.
Deputy General Gao stood aside and sighed deeply when he saw Xie Jingmo like this.
The next day.
Yun Zhao was still handling official business when someone from the palace came hurriedly to report that Xie Jingmo had a fever.
Yun Zhao frowned.
Then go out of the palace.
The imperial physician knelt on one side. Yun Zhao walked in and asked, "What's going on?"
The imperial physician lowered his head and said, "I don't know. When I came this morning, he was fine, but after taking the medicine, he suddenly had a high fever. I've read the prescription several times, but I can't see the problem. I deserve to die. I beg the Queen Mother to forgive me!"
Yun Zhao took the prescription written by the imperial physician.
Take a few glances.
There is indeed no problem.
But Xie Jingmo on the bed was covered in cold sweat, his lips were pale, and his mind was confused.
Yun Zhao said to Fu Hai, "Bring me the needle."
Fu Hai quickly took the needle.
Yun Zhao returned to the palace only after the fever subsided.
The next day, Yun Zhao went to give Xie Jingmo acupuncture. Xie Jingmo sat by the bed, looked at him and smiled, "I'm sorry to bother you. I'm not in good health and can't control myself."
Yun Zhao didn't say anything and walked out after giving the acupuncture.
After Yun Zhao left, Lieutenant General Gao walked into Xie Jingmo's room.
"Has Yun Zhao left?"
"We should ask the people in the mansion to make some tea that she likes to drink."
"I discovered a kind of tea in the northwest that is very sweet. I think Yun Zhao would like it. If anyone comes back, ask them to bring some back."
"I--"
Before Xie Jingmo could finish his words, Deputy General Gao seemed to have lost his patience and said, "Even the sweetest tea can't save the situation."
Xie Jingmo was stunned.
I looked up and heard Deputy General Gao say, "Yun Zhao and Mu Chengyan are getting married."
