Chapter 48 The general said: Don't come over! ...

The next day, when Jiang Yanyi went to the Protectorate to see the pepper seedlings, she also took the old ginseng that she had spent a huge amount of money to buy. When the gatekeeper

heard that the old ginseng was to be given to Feng Shuo, he did not dare to decide on his own whether to accept it or not, so he went to ask the butler Fu Xi to come.

Jiang Yanyi stood at the door and waited for a while. But the person who came out with the gatekeeper was not the butler Fu Xi, but Chi Qing.

This was the first time Jiang Yanyi ran into Chi Qing after leaving the military camp. She greeted him: "Military Advisor Chi." Chi Qing

was carrying some large and small bags in his hands. Although they were wrapped in paper, the strong smell of medicine could still be smelled.

His foxy eyes rolled around and he looked Jiang Yanyi up and down: "It's you. I heard that you opened an antique soup restaurant next door?"

"A small business to make a living." Jiang Yanyi said.

Chi Qing's eyes fell on the red lacquered wooden box in her hand. Before coming, he had heard the servant say that she brought a piece of old ginseng. He pursed his lips and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me an

old ginseng?" Thinking of what happened yesterday, Jiang Yanyi smiled awkwardly but politely, "Yesterday, I climbed up the wall to save a parrot, but I fell down due to clumsiness. Fortunately, you rescued me and I saved my life. Seeing that you seemed to be unwell, I thought of giving you a piece of old ginseng. It's always good to replenish your body."

When Chi Qing heard her talk about Feng Shuo's physical discomfort, his expression changed, "Come with me."

Jiang Yanyi didn't understand, but still followed.

When they reached a secluded place, Chi Qing asked her, "How did you know that the prince was unwell?"

Jiang Yanyi felt that Chi Qing's eyesight was much sharper than usual. She said truthfully, "The old wound on the prince's body was probably torn when he saved me..."

"Have you seen the scar on the prince's body?" Chi Qing suddenly interrupted her, his eyes were indescribably complicated.

Although he only saw the scar that spread to the shoulder blade, he did see it, and Jiang Yanyi nodded hesitantly.

Chi Qing's face turned ugly: "Who did you tell about the injury on the prince's body?"

Seeing him so serious, Jiang Yanyi realized that this matter was serious and shook her head: "Except for Military Advisor Chi, I haven't told anyone else."

She bought the old ginseng purely because she thought it was a good gift. Jiang Yanyi didn't understand medical theory, but she thought that since ginseng was a good thing, there was nothing wrong with using it for tonic.

Chi Qing's expression softened then, and he put away his nonchalant expression. He handed the pile of medicine packets in his hand to Jiang Yanyi: "Since he trusts you so much, I think he will listen to what you say. You can boil the medicine and give it to him."

"This... I..." Jiang Yanyi felt that Chi Qing must have misunderstood something. She was about to explain, but Chi Qing looked at her meaningfully and said, "Do you know how he got that wound on his body?"

Facing Chi Qing's slightly dazed gaze, Jiang Yanyi had to shut up and shake her head.

Chi Qing's gaze was scattered over the pond in the distance where only a dry brown lotus leaf stalk remained: "In the 13th year of Jiayuan, the southern Hanming Kingdom invaded, Huzhou was lost, and the commander-in-chief abandoned the city and fled. The people had no time to evacuate. The prince took 3,000 remaining soldiers and defended the gate of Huzhou to buy time for the people to evacuate."

"At that time, the Hanming Kingdom that besieged the city had a total of 50,000 troops!" At this point, Chi Qing smiled, a cold smile.

"Three thousand soldiers died of exhaustion, and the prince was imprisoned. The commander Han Mingyuan was good at using a Xuanhua axe. It is rumored that he even used the axe to split the city gate."

"Han Mingyuan wanted to chop off the prince's head himself. The prince was exhausted and could not defeat him. He could only deliberately expose the scars on his back. He wanted to die with Han Mingyuan, but he didn't expect that the Xuanhua axe was blocked by an aide for the prince."

"But the axe was so powerful that the man who blocked it was split in half. The axe still had some force left and hit the prince's back, leaving a big gash running diagonally across his spine. Fortunately, Marshal Han Ming's head was also knocked off by the prince's halberd. This battle..." Chi Qing paused, his voice a little hoarse: "Not a loss."

Jiang Yanyi got goosebumps just by listening to his description of the battle. She asked: "Who is that aide..."

"My brother."

Chi Qing said these words lightly, and it seemed that he did not feel sad at all, but the hand holding the fan was so strong that the knuckles turned white.

"After the prince was seriously injured, due to the harsh conditions in the army and the pursuit of the Hanming Army, he escaped death several times. The wounds always broke again just after they healed, and sometimes there was no medicine to stop the bleeding... Although the wounds are healed now, they still hurt a lot every time the severe winter frost falls."

Chi Qing turned around and looked at Jiang Yanyi, with an inexplicable expression: "In the past, When the prince was in the south, his wound would not hurt so much when it was cold. Now he is in the north... If this secret gets out, the Turks will take advantage of the severe winter to attack, and it is hard to say whether Xizhou can be saved. But the prince is stubborn and refuses to listen to the doctor and take good care of himself. Miss Jiang has to persuade him. "

After listening to what he said, Jiang Yanyi suddenly remembered a plot in the original book.

The heroine Jiang Yanxi went to Xizhou to find Lu Linyuan, but was captured by the Turkish prince. The emperor was furious and declared war on the Turks for his beloved. When Xizhou fell, the King of Liaoning sat back and watched.

When reading the book, Jiang Yanyi thought that the King of Liaoning wanted to see the Emperor and the Turks fight to the death, but now he felt that the real reason might be that Feng Shuo's old injury recurred and he couldn't go to the battle at all?

Jiang Yanyi held a pile of medicine bags and twitched her delicate eyebrows: "How can I persuade him?"

Chi Qing said: "Since Miss Jiang has seen the injuries on the prince's body, I'm afraid only Miss Jiang can persuade him."

He changed his words and called himself "Miss Jiang". Jiang Yanyi felt a little uncomfortable, but now that she has been restored to a good family, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Chi Qing calling her that.

While Jiang Yanyi was still struggling with his words, Chi Qing had already bowed to her and said, "I'll leave this matter to Miss Jiang."

It was not until Chi Qing left that Jiang Yanyi finally realized that there was something wrong with his words. He said that she had seen the scar on Feng Shuo's body, but Feng Shuo's scar was mainly on his back. I'm afraid that what Chi Qing said was "seen" was quite different from what she actually saw.

How could she, an unmarried woman, see the back of a strange man for no reason!

Chi Qing must have misunderstood that there was something going on between her and Feng Shuo!

Jiang Yanyi was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill herself.

It was impossible to catch up and explain. Not long after Chi Qing left, a servant came over here and respectfully led the way for her: "Miss Jiang, please follow me."

Jiang Yanyi looked at the old ginseng box and medicine bag in her hand and had to follow.

When they arrived at a courtyard, they could see several guards wearing armor and carrying swords standing in front of the gate from a distance. The servant went forward and explained the purpose of their visit. The guards looked at Jiang Yanyi, went into the courtyard to report, and said when they came out, "Miss Jiang, please come in."

Their attitude was much more respectful than before.

Jiang Yanyi walked into the courtyard with a bunch of things in his arms, and saw Feng Shuo playing chess in the courtyard at a glance.

The weather was getting colder day by day, and he put on a black cloak. Perhaps because of his physical discomfort, he did not tie his hair up, but only tied it loosely with a royal blue forehead band in front of his forehead. The loose hair in front of his forehead fell down a little, adding a bit of youthfulness to him.

The black hair hanging down from his shoulders pressed against the snow-white fox fur on his collar. The cloud pattern embroidered with gold thread on his cloak shone slightly in the sunlight. He supported his head with one hand, his elbow against the stone table, and held a black jade chess piece in the other hand, as if he was thinking about how to make the next move.

There was a small stove next to the stone table. The water in the teapot was boiling and gurgling. The white steam from the spout rose up, making Feng Shuo's delicate face a little blurry.

"What are you doing here?"

Jiang Yanyi heard him ask.

Jiang Yanyi could not figure out what tone of voice he used for a moment, and just said, "I'll get some old ginseng for the prince to replenish his body."

Feng Shuo turned his head and saw the medicine bags in her arms. He sneered, "Chi Qing was telling you some nonsense, that kid is too tired to live, I'll kill him when I get back!"

Hearing his tone, Jiang Yanyi knew that what Chi Qing said was almost right. She said, "The prince is the pillar of the country, how can he avoid illness and seek medical treatment?"

Feng Shuo was disturbed by her and made a wrong move. Now the whole game is in chaos. He threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess basket and looked at her leisurely, "What about me? What does it have to do with you?"

He was a prince, and he also had his pride.

He couldn't offer his whole heart to her just to ask her to look at him more.

He thought he was no worse than Lu Linyuan. If she couldn't see him, why should he force it?

Jiang Yanyi wanted to have a good talk with him, but seeing that he was in a bad mood, she gave up the idea for the time being and bowed, saying, "It's my fault for disturbing you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave."

When she was about to reach the gate of the courtyard, Feng Shuo finally said with a dark face, "Come back."

She should continue to force it.

Jiang Yanyi turned around and faced Feng Shuo's angry face, and blinked innocently.

Feng Shuo pointed to the small stove for making tea and said, "Decoction."

Jiang Yanyi said, "I'm not a maid in the prince's mansion."

Feng Shuo looked at her deeply and said, "If you were my maid, it would be easy."

Jiang Yanyi was secretly annoyed that she could understand what he meant. She put down her things and wanted to leave, but because of that inexplicable heartache, she stayed: "Prince, can we have a good talk?"

Feng Shuo also knew that he couldn't tease her too much, so he asked with his eyes half lowered, "Talk about what?"

She wanted to ask him what he liked about her.

But when the words came to her lips, facing Feng Shuo's gaze, Jiang Yanyi couldn't say it.

In the end, she gave up and picked up the medicine bag to go to the small stove: "I'll boil the medicine for you."

Instead, Feng Shuo looked at her with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The medicine was boiled, and Feng Shuo frowned when he smelled the smell.

However, he had taken medicine before, and knew that although this medicine smelled bad, it had no taste when he actually drank it.

After he took the medicine bowl handed to him by Jiang Yanyi, he drank it directly in one gulp. However, when the medicine entered his mouth, his face changed drastically and he spit it all out: "What is this?"

Jiang Yanyi knew that this medicine must be very bitter just by smelling it, but don't all Chinese medicines taste like this? Why did Feng Shuo react so strongly?

She asked puzzledly: "It's your medicine?"

Could it be that he had never drunk it before?

For the first time, Feng Shuo felt that his sense of taste had been restored, which was not a good thing.

He put down the medicine bowl: "I will drink it later." It would

not be too late to drink it after she left and his sense of taste was not so sensitive.

Jiang Yanyi thought he wanted to pour it out after she left. After thinking about it, it seemed that he could only find one reason why he didn't like to drink bitter medicine.

Then it seemed to make sense that Chi Qing said that he always refused to cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

She said, "Shall I ask someone to bring you a dish of preserved fruits?"

Feng Shuo's face darkened again: "No need."

Finally, he picked up the medicine bowl and walked to the wall. It would be okay for him to drink the medicine away from her, right?

Jiang Yanyi was afraid that he would pour the medicine, so she prepared to follow him.

Feng Shuo treated her like a flood and a beast: "Stand where you are, and don't come over."
