Chapter 32
The King of Western Rong, Quanrong, looked at Cheng Zhixuan standing in the middle with anger in his eyes.
"Is this the time you said? It caused us in Xirong to lose four thousand soldiers! Another one thousand soldiers were captured!" After the Quanrong King finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing a few times.
"The time has indeed come, but Zhou Xuanqing actually went out of the palace for inspection. Otherwise, the poppy powder would flow into the Great Zhou, and even if she had supernatural powers, she wouldn't be able to deal with it..." Cheng Zhixuan explained with a somewhat ferocious look on his face.
I didn't expect that Zhou Xuanqing could still be so troublesome even though he could barely protect himself!
"Stop talking nonsense! If you can't defeat the Great Zhou army, I will hand you over!" The Quanrong King no longer wanted to listen to his nonsense and spoke resolutely. If they hadn't believed his words, how could they have rashly sent troops to attack the Great Zhou!
"Yes, Your Majesty, just send someone to the Great Zhou to discuss the details. I will lead my men to infiltrate the Great Zhou's army and defeat them within a month!" Cheng Zhixuan said, turned around and left.
He is determined to make the history of the Great Zhou repeat itself, but the final winner this time must be the Cheng family!
“Ahhh~”
A howl of surprise spread throughout Xianlu Valley, and Tang Mitang rushed out of the pharmacy holding a bowl.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Er suddenly appeared after hearing the screams. They watched Tang Mitang rush into Zhou Xuanqing's room like crazy. After making sure there was no danger, they disappeared.
Chang Xi and Jueming followed Tang Mitang wherever he went, carefully looking at the bowl in Tang Mitang's hand. Seeing the dark medicinal juice swaying inside, their hearts tightened.
"Tang Mi, go slowly~" Don't spill the medicine. Before Chang Xi finished speaking, Tang Mi Tang had already run to the bedside.
Tang Mitang looked at Zhou Xuanqing's pale and thin face, reached out to pick her up, let her lean on him, and held the bowl to feed her mouth.
"The emperor drank the medicine."
The medicine slid down from Zhou Xuanqing's mouth without any ripples.
Chang Xi quickly took a handkerchief to try to wipe it clean for her, and looked at Zhou Xuanqing with some worry.
"Be more violent and try to force it down her throat." Jueming said as he felt Zhou Xuanqing's pulse.
Tang Mitang nodded and handed the medicine to Chang Xi to drink.
Chang Xi shook his head. Even if it was to save his life, he would not dare to offend the emperor like this.
"Forget it, you two go out, I'll find a way." Tang Mitang said helplessly as he looked at the two people who only dared to talk but not to do.
Zhou Xuanqing was hanging on by a thread, so it was probably going to be hard to force the medicine down her throat. This morning, I spent a long time feeding her the sugar water, but I only managed to get two spoonfuls in. This damn girl had no desire to live!
Chang Xi looked at Tang Mitang and finally nodded before leaving.
As for Jueming, he had already fled. Anyway, drinking this medicine would cure the disease, and whether he could drink it or not was none of his business. Now he could travel around the Great Zhou...
One more thing is that I have to accept a disciple first...
Jueming was thinking while sitting on the stone bench in the yard. When he saw Chang Xi coming, he poured him a cup of tea.
"Chang Xi, have I done my best for the emperor all these years?"
Chang Xi was still wondering whether Tang Mitang could feed the medicine, but after hearing what Jueming said, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"You should take a break! You can handle the matter of recruiting disciples yourself!" After saying this, Chang Xi pushed the cup he handed to him aside and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Chang Xi, you are so heartless! Think about all these years. When you needed me, you came to me and researched prescriptions every day. Tell me..."
Tang Mitang pinched Zhou Xuanqing's chin and fed her a mouthful, but she couldn't swallow it.
"Zhou Xuanqing, you've been lying in bed for twenty-six days. Do you know what's happening in the Imperial City? Your good brother is entertaining those bad Quanrong people. I heard they're determined to use Lu Zehua's killing of the captives to force Zhou Erlan to back down. Furthermore, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty's refusal to receive the envoys has given rise to gossip. The three surrounding fiefdoms have all sent envoys."
"What's that? Dongyi, Nanman, Beidi, Xirong, how can Zhou Erlan resist? The enemy will probably reach the Great Zhou Imperial City in two days. Tsk, the war will bring devastation to the people. And Cheng Zhixuan is still at large with drugs, like a venomous snake, who knows when to come out and bite Great Zhou."
As Tang Mitang spoke, Zhou Xuanqing seemed to swallow.
"Ah, social animal, Zhou Xuanqing, you are destined to be a hard worker. We are also bound by the same fate! After drinking the medicine, you can help Zhou Erlan defend the Great Zhou. Otherwise, think about our people who are homeless and the dynasty is also theirs. Oh, it's too tragic. I can even hear the cries of homeless children..."
Tang Mitang said as he fed her the medicine.
Alas, the book is so lonely, the plot has collapsed. Fortunately, Zhou Xuanqing is still alive.
Zhou Xuanqing woke up and saw Tang Mitang looking at her with his chin in his hand. Thinking of the sounds that filled her ears when she was unconscious, she was speechless for a moment.
"Your Majesty, you're awake!" Tang Mitang was so happy to see Zhou Xuanqing wake up that it was like breaking a world record.
"The emperor is awake? Oh my! Let me see him!" Chang Xi rushed in after hearing the noise, threw himself beside the bed and looked at Zhou Xuanqing.
Tang Mitang, who was pushed away by Chang Xi, grinned at his profile and walked aside to pour water.
Zhou Xuanqing glanced at Chang Xi with disdain, and admired his ability to cry whenever he said so.
"It's so ugly." Zhou Xuanqing's voice was very soft and breathy.
"Oh! I am ugly, so ugly! Your Majesty, you are really awake... Woo..." Chang Xi heard Zhou Xuanqing scolding him and then he was sure that the person in front of him was really awake.
"Chang Xi, what kind of magic medicine did you take? Did you suddenly realize who you are?" Tang Mitang came over with some water and fed Zhou Xuanqing some.
"Go away!" Chang Xi pretended to be angry and slapped Tang Mitang, but a smile appeared on his face.
Tang Mitang laughed along, as if the sun suddenly emerged from the long haze and shone warmly on people.
Zhou Xuanqing felt a little strange when looking at Tang Mitang. No one had ever treated him like this before.
Although he is not good-looking and talks too much, he is still better than others.
Fortunately, Tang Mitang didn’t know what Zhou Xuanqing was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely give her a dose of medicine to kill her. What’s the point of saving her?
Zhou Xuanqing recuperated for two days in Xianlu Valley and was not in a hurry to return to the capital, nor did he allow anyone to send any letters to the capital.
Tang Mitang couldn't understand her actions, she just wanted to leave the valley. This place was deserted and she hadn't even had a roasted leg of lamb for such a long time.
"Your Majesty, when are we leaving?" Tang Mitang said while eating lotus root slices, seemingly without appetite.
"When do you want to leave?" Zhou Xuanqing smiled and handed the meat on the plate to her.
Tang Mitang stuffed the meat into his mouth with a smile, then said with a smile: "Can we go now?"
"Okay." Zhou Xuanqing nodded and snapped his fingers, and Xuanyi walked in leading two horses.
"Ah~ Great! What?"
Tang Mitang was about to praise Zhou Xuanqing when Jue Ming pulled her back.
"Tang girl, you have to take me as your master before you leave." Jueming grabbed Tang Mitang's sleeve, his eyes full of determination.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuanqing grabbed Jueming's wrist and asked him to let go of Tang Mitang. His eyes changed slightly and he said coldly, "You don't have to be my disciple. Just follow me and eat and drink for free."
Tang Mitang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she turned to look at Zhou Xuanqing. Oh my god, her dream was about to come true.
"Just eat and wait for death? How can a human being not have lofty ambitions and be so degenerate!" Jueming's face was full of disdain and he spoke righteously.
"Fallen? Everyone has their own choices. Life is short. You haven't fulfilled these lofty ambitions, so why transfer them to Mi Tang?" Zhou Xuanqing said, pulling Tang Mi Tang behind him.
When Tang Mitang heard Zhou Xuanqing calling her Mitang, she hid behind her obediently. She didn't want to become a disciple. Her medical skills were already good enough. She would just read books and teach herself after returning to the palace.
The point is, can she really hide behind the emperor and eat and drink for free?
