Li Xuanji's eyes lit up. "The grain transport team will arrive in two more days. According to their pace, they should be near Luozhou by now."
"His Majesty means that you, General Huo, can arrange for men to disguise themselves as bandits and hijack the escort team."
"Then we'll mobilize the army to chase down the bandits."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shi'en immediately nodded, "Brilliant!"
"Your Majesty's plan is excellent. In order to make this transaction between the two countries important, sending General Huo to suppress the bandits is perfectly justified."
"As for where General Huo will chase them, that depends on where the bandits have run off to."
Huo Cheng also wholeheartedly agreed.
This is something so interesting, I haven't done it in many years.
Jiang Feng, however, seemed a little worried. "Your Majesty, how should we handle the trade with Yue?"
Murong Yue was in a great mood after gaining recognition from humans.
(*^^*)
"Of course, we'll bring back the grain."
That's true. Yue's grain was stolen within Qing's territory, so Qing has to be responsible for getting it back.
Once it's recovered, the transaction can continue.
This method is good.
It turns out that the troublesome brother and sister are going to stay in Qing Kingdom.
Murong Anle spread his hands.
When he arrived at the palace yesterday after receiving the news, the farce was already nearing its end.
The roof of Lingxi Palace had a large hole, the interior of the palace was burned to a crisp, and the water used to extinguish the fire had frozen solid.
No one died, but the two Yue kings were seriously injured.
He suppressed a laugh and, heartbroken, went to the Imperial Hospital to visit the two.
Xiao Yuanche suffered burns to both legs, with a layer of skin peeling off, especially on his thighs, where the raw, red flesh was horrifying.
You can't wear pants or cover yourself with a blanket now, otherwise the wound will stick together.
He could only lie naked on the hospital bed.
Fortunately, the Imperial Physicians were all men, so it wasn't too awkward.
Xiao Yuanshuang's face and feet were burned, and she was unable to walk, so she could only stay in bed.
As for his face, in Murong Anle's opinion, it was alright.
I heard that if you get a few sparks, it won't leave a scar after it heals.
Anyway, that's what the imperial physician said.
With such a major incident, the officials of the Yue delegation naturally came to visit.
Xiao Yuanche was unwilling to see anyone and angrily blocked the adults outside.
It's one thing to be ashamed of my injury in Qing Kingdom, but if people from Yue Kingdom see it and it gets back to their country, how will I ever be able to face anyone again!
The adults had no choice but to inquire about the situation through Xiao Yuanche's attendants.
The delegation members breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that it was just a superficial injury and they wouldn't die.
The third princess, however, although her face was covered in herbs, the smell was truly unpleasant.
But the Third Princess had a much better demeanor than the Second Prince.
"This is a great disgrace to the Yue Kingdom. If you gentlemen cannot seek justice for my prince and my second brother, then..."
"After you return, present your head to the Emperor."
The head of the delegation was a man surnamed Pi, a rare surname, but he lived up to his name.
Mr. Pi is patient, has a stable temperament, and handles matters in an orderly manner.
At this moment, they are also the backbone of the Yue Kingdom delegation.
"Princess, please calm down. The grain to be used for trade with the Qing Kingdom is about to arrive."
"I will make arrangements and will ensure that you and the Second Prince do not suffer in vain."
"Okay, I'll be waiting here."
Injured, Xiao Yuanshuang no longer wanted to pretend to be gentle, and her cold and domineering side was completely exposed.
Lord Pi's plan is simple: the grain will soon be entering the capital, and now the princess of Yue is injured in the palace.
It doesn't matter how you got hurt.
Then shouldn't your Qing Kingdom make a gesture?
He planned to increase the original 300,000 taels of silver to 1 million taels.
Is one million taels too much? That can't make up for the suffering your two princes have endured.
You won't agree? Fine, then we'll make sure to compensate the Second Prince properly.
Being a national hero is surely an option.
If all else fails, even one of the country's best men will do.
Anyway, an empress has to have a husband; no one says she can only have one husband, right?
There have been several female emperors in history whose harems were no less impressive than those of their male counterparts.
It's just that there are more people in the harem.
Once Xiao Yuanche enters the harem of the Qing Kingdom's Empress, the task assigned to them by the Yue Kingdom's Emperor will be considered complete.
As for whether the Empress would dislike the Second Prince's injured legs, that was not within his consideration.
This is the optimal solution that Lord Pi and several other dignitaries came up with overnight.
"Now that both princes are injured, it is time for us to step in."
"Everyone must work together to seek justice for His Highnesses at the court assembly two days from now."
"yes."
After everyone left, the small ward in the Imperial Hospital returned to quiet.
When the Lingxi Palace caught fire, Murong Anle naturally arranged for them to stay in other palaces.
However, for now, he needs to stay in a ward at the Imperial Hospital for the convenience of the imperial physicians.
The small ward contained only a bed and a set of tables and chairs; it was very simple.
Xiao Yuanshuang closed her eyes.
His mind was filled with the raging fire, Qi Yuan's disdainful look, and the words he vaguely heard from Xiao Yuanche while he was unconscious.
"Your Highness, the medicine has arrived."
Cherry lifted the thick cotton curtain and came in carrying a medicine bowl.
The pungent smell of medicine made Xiao Yuanshuang cough a few times.
"Your Highness, I would also like some candied fruit. It is very bitter, so I will use the candied fruit to moisten my mouth later."
"Need not."
Xiao Yuanshuang picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The sudden bitterness made her tongue numb.
very good.
It is this kind of suffering that can bring people to their senses.
A cherry was stuffed into my mouth with a candied fruit, and the bitterness gradually dissipated.
