Chapter 202 Internal Conflict
"You shouldn't have come back." Chen Yu said softly, "It's too dangerous. I really have a way to get out."
The environment here is simple, but Xie Tingzhou feels at ease holding her in his arms. "I can go to the dragon pool and the tiger cave, and I can go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as you are with me."
Shen Yu raised her hand and touched his face.
He must have rushed here overnight after leaving Beijing, and he already had stubble on his chin.
She stroked it gently and said, "When I was a kid, I also liked to touch my father's stubble like this."
Xie Tingzhou laughed, "Now that you've touched me, do you have to call me daddy?"
"You wish." She withdrew her hand.
Xie Tingzhou held her hand and pressed it back on his face, "You can touch it, no need to call me daddy."
It was quiet all around, and Chen Yu gradually felt sleepy, but she did not forget to remind him, "We can't stop for too long, or they will catch up."
Xie Tingzhou just felt distressed, having dragged her into such a situation, and still worrying about the march while she was sick.
"I know." He stroked her hair soothingly, "We'll set out at dawn. There are still two hours left. You should get some sleep."
"You sleep too."
"Um."
Xie Tingzhou coughed twice, and Chen Yu immediately raised her head, "You..."
"It's okay, my throat is just itchy." Before she could ask, Xie Tingzhou grabbed her head and pressed it against his chest again.
The breathing of the person in his arms gradually calmed down. Xie Tingzhou gently moved her to sleep on her stomach, and then he lifted the curtain and left the tent.
Xifeng heard the noise and looked up to see the prince walking quickly around the tent and heading deep into the woods.
Xifeng suddenly felt something was wrong and got up and followed him, "I'll go take a look."
Chang Liu wanted to follow, but he stopped him with the words, "Just stay here and stare at the tent."
Xie Tingzhou felt that he had walked far enough, so he held onto a tree and vomited. He held it in for a long time, fearing that he would disturb her sleep, so he waited until she fell asleep before vomiting.
Hearing footsteps behind him, he tilted his head slightly, his chest still breathing heavily, and said, "It's okay."
Xi Feng approached and was relieved when he didn't smell blood. Fortunately, he didn't vomit blood. "Doctor Yu is with us. Let him come and check on the prince."
Xie Tingzhou panted a few times and said, "Well, let him come over, don't scare him.
"
Xifeng knew who the "other person" was referring to, but he was afraid that others would find out and let Miss Shen know.
As soon as Shen Zhao saw Xie Tingzhou leave, he hurried to the tent to check on Shen Yu. He saw that she was sleeping soundly and her body was clean, unlike the messy woman who was covered in blood when they left the city.
It can be seen that Xie Tingzhou took good care of her, so she felt relieved.
Chang Liu followed closely and waited outside the tent. When Xifeng left, he was asked to guard the tent, so he had to do it. However, since Xifeng was his own brother, it was not easy for him to stop him from watching.
Shen Zhao came out after a moment, and the two of them sat back down by the fire.
Changliu felt uneasy. The prince had left in a hurry before, followed by Xifeng, and later he saw Doctor Yu also quietly going there. He guessed that there was something wrong with the prince's health.
Seeing him staring in one direction with a frown on his face, Shen Zhao turned his head and glanced, "What are you looking at?"
Changliu is naive, but he is not stupid. Doctor Yu always goes there quietly because he doesn't want to make any noise.
So I thought, "I'm watching Xifeng poop, why hasn't he come back yet?"
Shen Zhao couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, so he hugged his arms and leaned against the tree and closed his eyes.
Doctor Yu had never taken a pulse in such an environment before.
The sound of the wind was blowing through the forest, and the calls of wild animals could be faintly heard.
Doctor Yu held his breath and asked Xie Tingzhou some questions after checking his pulse. Then he said solemnly, "I have said long ago that the prince can no longer hold a sword. He fell ill after returning from the palace a few months ago. He just recovered and fought a battle like this. Now..."
"Will he die?" Xie Tingzhou interrupted him.
"this……"
"Will he die?" Xie Tingzhou asked again.
Doctor Yu said: "After this battle, the toxins have spread again, but there is no need to worry about your life for the time being. Just don't use force again. Your Highness, listen to my advice. The two toxins in your body are both highly toxic. It's hard to achieve a balance. If you move a little, it will be a mess. If it really comes to that -"
"I understand." Xie Tingzhou stared at the moonlight shining through the forest, "You can go back and rest."
Doctor Yu said, "Fortunately, I brought the medicine that the prince usually takes. I will boil it for him to take later."
"Leave it to me." Xifeng said, "I'll fry it.
”
Doctor Yu nodded and left, and Xie Tingzhou also walked back a little later.
Xi Feng followed Xie Tingzhou and said, "Your Highness has heard what Doctor Yu said. Your Highness really cannot resort to violence anymore."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at him sideways, "When did you become so long-winded?"
Xifeng had a hard time speaking, "Your Highness is the backbone of Beilin, of course I am worried."
"I understand." Xie Tingzhou said, "Don't tell her."
…
A stove was built in the leeward part of the woods, where the 70,000-strong army took a rest.
Sparks were blown everywhere by the wind. Jiang An sat by the fire, looking at the soldiers who had taken a break, and said, "My Lord, we shouldn't chase them anymore. We should go to the capital first and control the Forbidden Palace in our hands."
Xuanping Hou stared at the bonfire with dull eyes, "What are you going to the capital for?"
"Go to the capital and capture the crown prince and the emperor's grandson." Jiang An was a little excited. "It's still unclear what the situation is in the palace now. If we delay a little longer, the situation will change drastically. My Lord, you should act quickly."
Xuan Pinghou murmured, "My son is dead, my two sons are dead, I have no descendants, what is the point of having that position?"
Jiang An didn't notice anything at first, but after careful consideration, he found something wrong.
Two sons? Both dead?
Xuan Pinghou cried and laughed at the same time, "He wants silver, I give it to him, he wants the throne, I help him too."
Jiang An was horrified when he heard this. Could it be that Li Yanchang was the son of Marquis Xuanping?
Marquis Xuanping suddenly turned around and looked at him, and that look frightened Jiang An.
“You don’t know.” Marquis Xuanping said dimly, “It was Emperor Tongxu who stole my woman, so I asked him to raise my son for me, hahahahahahaha.”
Jiang An didn't know why Marquis Xuanping wanted to say all this to him. Even though Li Yanchang was dead, his relationship with Marquis Xuanping had never reached the point where they could confide in each other.
"My Lord." Jiang An persuaded him, "My Lord is not yet of age, but in his prime. If you take the throne, you will have many children and grandchildren in the future."
Seeing that the Marquis Xuanping was staring at him intently, Jiang An was frightened, "Marquis, Marquis?"
Xuanping Hou seemed to come back to his senses, "Yes, you are right."
"Catch him!" Marquis Xuanping suddenly shouted.
