www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Early in the morning, as soon as the sun rose, the gate of Yanding City was opened wide due to the combined efforts of several guards.

Under the **** of two hundred soldiers from the Divine Arm Battalion led by Fu Yunhe, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages carrying supplies entered the city together with the **** team from the Luoyue City Camp.

The long queue attracted the curious eyes of many people nearby.

After the carriage entered the city, the troops immediately divided into two groups. Two of the carriages went to the garrison, and the remaining large troops headed to the garrison of the God's Arm Camp with great fanfare.

On weekdays, the entrance to the Divine Arm Camp is calm and solemn, but today it is as noisy as a vegetable market. The crowds of people are waiting impatiently at the entrance of the camp. Everyone stretches their neck towards the city gate. He looked in the direction, afraid that he would miss something.

Suddenly, a soldier ran over in a hurry, shouting breathlessly: "Coming, coming! Captain Fu is back!"

Everyone looked at him with bated breath. He adjusted his breathing and then said the words everyone expected: "Our iron arrow has arrived!"

While he was speaking, he could already see Fu Yunhe and the dozen or so fully loaded carriages appearing at the end of the road from a distance. Fu Yunhe was riding high on a black horse, high-spirited. You knew he was in a good mood.

The next moment, the soldiers all around cheered.

The entire Divine Arm Camp was in a state of excitement. Everyone was rejoicing and full of energy.

In fact, there are still iron arrows in the army. The iron arrows sent this time are only 30,000. The actual number of iron arrows is only ten per person, which will not play any key role. But Fu Yunhe once told them that this batch of iron arrows used the latest smelting method. With these 30,000 iron arrows, it means that there will soon be more 30,000 iron arrows, 300,000 iron arrows, and 3 million iron arrows. ……

In the future, their Divine Arm Camp will never be short of iron arrows again!

When thinking of that "future", every soldier is gearing up and can't wait to rush to the battlefield...

The morale in Yanding City was greatly boosted by the arrival of these iron arrows. At the same time, the atmosphere in Dengli City was completely opposite.

"Pa——"

Ikaro grabbed the paperweight on the desk and threw it out, hitting a large celadon vase in the corner of the study.

The large celadon vase shook a few times on the tall table, and then fell to the bluestone floor with a "bang". The vase broke apart and the fragments flew.

After that, the room was filled with silence.

The soldier who came to report lowered his head slightly, knowing that the coach must be in a terrible mood at the moment and did not dare to take a breath.

"Hateful! It's really hateful!" Ikaro said through gritted teeth.

He was deceived by Xiao Yi’s trick again!

"Pa——"

Ikaro's fist hit the desk hard, "This Xiao Yi is really as cunning as a fox! I still underestimated him! I have lost another thousand of my elite soldiers!"

What’s even more pity is that the man who had been lurking in the Southern Xinjiang Army for ten years was destroyed like this!

Ten years, ten years of secret agents have been removed.

Ikaro's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he really wished he could lead his troops to Yongjia City right now and cut the treacherous Zhennan Prince Xiao Yi into pieces.

But after all, he is the commander-in-chief of the Nanliang army. He cannot act in a temporary way and must take the overall situation into consideration.

Fortunately, just in case, he only asked Baolach to pay attention to the medicine sent from Luoyue City, and did not tell Baolach his next plan. Now, no matter how severely tortured he is in Yanding City, it is impossible for him to know his big plan!

However, in order to avoid long nights and endless dreams, it is better to decide this battle quickly...

Ikaro took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. He raised his eyes and asked the soldier standing on the other side of the desk: "Lierjie, you just said that in addition to the batch of iron arrows, there are also two trucks of water and soil treatment. The medicine you refused to take was also sent to Yanding City?"

"Yes, Marshal." Li'erjie replied, bowing and clasping his fists.

Although they still have people in Yanding City, they are only in some insignificant positions. Now that Baurach was captured, he could only get these vague military information.

Ikaro's fingers moved a few times on the desk. It is already mid-November. Time and opportunities are fleeting. We must seize this opportunity to give Xiao Yi and the Southern Xinjiang Army A fatal blow!

Ikaro clenched his fists, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and ordered: "Lierjie, order the army to assemble and prepare to go out!"

His tone was cold and decisive, as if ice shards were about to fall out.

"Yes, Commander!" Li Erjie accepted the order with a loud and firm voice.

"And..."

Yikaluo half-squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Li'erjie, immediately send a message to Yanding City and say..."

……

After Ikaro's order, a homing pigeon immediately flew out of Dengli City... Within half a day, Sun Xinyi's house once again welcomed an uninvited guest. The thin man in black walked through the night and visited again. .

Although Sun Xinyi prayed in her heart that the other party would never come again, she also knew that this was just an extravagant wish of hers.

She had already stepped into a bottomless quagmire. Even if she struggled desperately, she could not stop her body from slowly sinking. The cold quagmire had already reached her neck...

"What you want to know, what I know, I have told you, what else are you doing here?" Sun Xinyi squeezed out a sentence with almost a dying struggle, still holding on to the last glimmer of hope in her eyes.

The skinny man didn't care about Sun Xinyi's dislike at all. In other words, in his eyes, Sun Xinyi was not a person at all, but just a valuable object - an object that had even lost its humanity.

"Miss Sun, our commander is compassionate and spares your life. Shouldn't you repay our commander well?" The skinny man said in a sinister tone, "The commander said that he wants the girl to do one last thing. Things..."

Sun Xinyi gritted her teeth and said, "Are you serious?" As long as she does one more thing, she can get rid of these annoying blood leeches? !

"Of course! He will definitely tell you who our commander is." The thin man assured him without hesitation.

"What do you want me to do?" Sun Xinyi took a deep breath and asked slowly.

The skinny man's lips slightly curled up proudly, looking kind, but his eyes were as cold as a jackal, and relayed Ikaro's order...

Sun Xinyi's eyes were almost astonished to the extreme, she couldn't believe her ears, and her body was trembling with fear. She knew they wouldn't let her go so easily, but she didn't expect them to be so cruel...

The glimmer of hope in her eyes shattered like a fragile spider thread!

Her heart and eyes were occupied by boundless fear, but so what?

No matter how scared she is, she has no choice but to fight to the death.

Can't give up! As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she may not be unable to survive.

Just like that time.

She said to herself over and over again in her heart...

The skinny man glanced at Sun Xinyi disdainfully, ignored her, and strode away.

Sun Xinyi sat there dumbfounded and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

The maid Caiwei on the side looked at her girl with great worry.

I don’t know how long it took, but Caiwei finally couldn’t help but whispered: "Girl...Girl, what should we do?"

Sun Xinyi felt like she was waking up from a dream. She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, all the despair in her eyes faded away and was replaced by calmness.

Didn't she already decide that day?

If she wants to live, there will be nothing when she dies. It is just a name in other people's mouths, a sigh in other people's words, and a story in memory.

She wants to live, and only living is the most real thing!

Sun Xinyi stood up and said, "Caiwei, help me dress up."

Seeing that the girl had an idea in her mind, Caiwei also made up her mind and hurriedly went to help Sun Xinyi change clothes and make up.

Sun Xinyi changed into a used green-blue jacket with a small vertical collar, and did a simple braid.

Caiwei originally gave her a green lotus-colored silk flower, but she picked it off again. After careful consideration, she put a moon-white velvet flower on her temples, and then carefully looked at herself in the bronze mirror. After a while, she told Caiwei to put on the mask she had sewn in the past few days, and then the master and servant went out.

The two of them were familiar with each other and went to the garrison mansion again, asking to see the Crown Princess.

Nangong Yue met Sun Xinyi in the main hall as usual. After the two greeted each other, Sun Xinyi motioned to the maid Caiwei to bring the basket of masks forward, and Huamei handed it to Nangong Yue.

"Prince Princess, this is the mask Xinyi has been sewing in the past few days."

Nangong Yue picked up a mask from the basket and looked at it. The stitches on it were fine and neat. It was obvious that the sewer had put a lot of thought into it. Not only that, the ear straps on both sides of the mask sewn by Sun Xinyi were slightly taut. Improved, the length of the ear strap can be adjusted by the wearer.

Nangong Yue smiled and praised: "Miss Sun is so attentive. This little mask actually has such ingenuity."

"Thank you for the compliment, Crown Princess." Sun Xinyi responded modestly.

She offered to help sew these masks just to please the Crown Princess. Of course she put a lot of effort into it - if she just sewed ordinary masks, then ordinary vulgar women could also make them. , what she did was just to outshine everyone, she had to do it well and be outstanding in order to leave an impression in the heart of the Crown Princess and to surpass Han Qixia!

If she had received this compliment before today, she would have been quite proud of it. But now... the Crown Princess might not be able to protect herself, so how could she ask her to protect her.

Fortunately, the efforts she has spent these days are not in vain, otherwise the Crown Princess might not believe her easily.

Once this is done, she will be able to make a clean break with the past!

Huamei walked aside again with the basket in hand, her eyes half lowered to hide the sigh in her eyes. Although the masks sewn by Miss Sun are good, they are not practical. The Crown Princess once said that this mask does not need any tricks, it is better to be simple so that it can be sewn in large quantities. If every mask is sewn like Miss Sun, the speed will be at least twice as slow...

Sun Xinyi picked up the tea cup on the side, used the action of tea to clear her thoughts, and then said hesitantly: "Prince Concubine, Xinyi came here today, and there is one more thing about my late father... ”

"Miss Sun, please speak." Nangong Yue said solemnly with a straight face.

Sun Xinyi then continued: "Four days later, it will be my late father's life sacrifice. Now that the war is still going on, it is not appropriate to organize it in a big way. But as a son and daughter, Xinyi still hopes to do something to pay homage to his ancestor. My late father went to the ceremony that day. He committed suicide on the city wall. Xinyi wanted to prepare a few side dishes, some water and wine, and go to kneel down outside the city gate to offer sacrifices and mourn. Is it appropriate?"

The gates of Yanding City cannot be opened at will, so if Sun Xinyi wants to go out of the city to worship his ancestors, he must ask Nangong Yue for permission.

It is understandable that Sun Xinyi wanted to sacrifice his deceased father, not to mention that Sun Shoubei died heroically to defend Yanding City.

Nangong Yue agreed without saying a word.

"Thank you to Crown Princess Quan Xinyi for being a filial daughter." Sun Xinyi hurriedly bowed and thanked her. She couldn't suppress the emotion on her plain little face without a trace of makeup, "The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are both righteous, Xinyi Yi was filled with admiration. Xinyi still remembered that after the prince led the army to recapture Yanding City, he personally mourned his father and the fallen soldiers on the city wall. President Wu Qian, President Xu Qian, President Liu... they all I have followed my late father for many years, but now there is no trace of him..."

The more Sun Xinyi talked, the more excited she became. A faint layer of moisture appeared in her eyes, and emotions such as sadness, sadness, nostalgia, etc. were intertwined together. She took out a handkerchief, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said in a panic: "Xinyi lost her composure, please forgive me."

Nangong Yue felt touched when he heard this, and said: "Miss Sun, I will go with you to pay homage to Lord Sun and all the fallen soldiers."

Took the bait! Sun Xinyi's heart beat rapidly accelerated and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Even the Crown Prince personally killed the soldiers who died in battle, so how could the Crown Prince not follow suit? ! Everything was as she expected.

Sun Xinyi hurriedly stood up and said with a deep blessing: "Xinyi would like to thank the concubine on behalf of my late father and the soldiers who died in the battle." As she said that, another layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she was The eyes washed by tears are dark and deep.

After making an appointment to meet, Sun Xinyi stood up and left.

After Sun Xinyi left, Nangong Yue also left the main hall soon. She originally planned to go to Lin Jingchen's yard to find Han Qixia, but unexpectedly she saw a familiar cyan figure coming towards her.

"Sister Xia." Nangong Yue showed a bright smile. She and Sister Xia really had a good understanding.

"Yue'er." Han Qixia's face looked a little strange and she said, "I just met Miss Sun at Ermen..."

Nangong Yue was startled, this was a coincidence. She immediately realized the lingering meaning of Han Qixia's words, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said: "Sister Xia, Miss Sun told you that Master Sun's life sacrifice will be in three days..."

Han Qixia frowned, thoughtfully. After she pondered for a moment, she raised her eyes and looked directly at Nangong Yue, and asked seriously: "Yue'er, is there something wrong with Miss Sun?" During this period, Han Qixia also vaguely felt Nangong Yue's somewhat subtle attitude towards Sun Xinyi. , she was almost 89% certain of this feeling at this moment.

The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth were slightly raised, her apricot eyes were shining, and she said meaningfully: "Sister Xia, whether you are a human or a ghost, it will be clear after you cheat!"

It seems that Yue'er already has some concerns in her heart. While Han Qixia breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little funny in her heart. Yue'er was indeed influenced by Ayi...

"Sister Xia," Nangong Yue's smile deepened, she met Han Qixia's puzzled eyes, and said slowly, "However, I found out something very interesting..."

……

In Yanding City, there is an undercurrent surging.

Thousands of miles away, the royal capital was under a heavy haze at the moment, especially in Fengluan Palace. The mist was so gloomy that even the air was so heavy that it was suffocating.

The servants in Fengluan Palace are very cautious and do everything with utmost care.

At the entrance of the main hall, a round-faced little palace lady holding a mahogany food box came over with her skirt in hand. After she glanced in the direction of the side hall, she whispered to a tall palace lady under the eaves: "Xia He, is Dr. Wu here?"

The tall palace maid known as Xia He nodded, lowered her voice, and said, "Yes, we have been in for more than half an hour..." As he said that, Xia He frowned, with worries on his face and eyes.

On the day of praying for rain, the fifth prince Han Lingfan fell into a coma after falling from the altar of worship to heaven. The emperor and empress were frightened at that time.

The accompanying imperial physician was immediately called for diagnosis and treatment. Fortunately, after the imperial physician administered the acupuncture, Han Lingfan regained consciousness and seemed to be in good spirits. Apart from some abrasions on his arms, there was nothing else. The emperor and empress breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the injury.

The rain fell from the sky, and the fifth prince was safe and sound.

No matter what they were thinking in their hearts, the faces of all civil and military officials in the court were beaming with joy. Even the rumors that had been spreading in the capital a few days ago died down in the rain.

No one dares to mention that the fifth prince is not the right one.

Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

However, what no one expected was that Han Lingfan started to have a fever early the next morning.

It was just a low fever at first, and no one paid much attention to it. The imperial doctor read it and prescribed a prescription. After taking the medicine, the fever subsided. But it didn't take long for the fever to start again. It kept going like this over and over again, and the fever got worse and worse. Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong... And as the high fever persisted, Han Lingfan's condition became worse and worse. , I have been unconscious since last night, and it has been a day and a night now.

Seeing that Han Lingfan was seriously ill and blind, the queen who loved her son immediately moved him to Fengluan Palace and took care of him personally. She was by his side all the time, never moving an inch, and naturally she stayed up all day and night, crying.

The emperor never moved his seat except when he went to court.

The doctors from the Imperial Hospital were all called to consult Han Lingfan. They basically suspected that he had a high fever because he hit his head when he fell from the altar of worship to heaven that day, and blood clots formed in his head. , unconscious.

But the problem is that even if the cause of the disease is known, all the imperial doctors can prescribe are some prescriptions for removing blood stasis. Who dares to claim that he has the ability of Hua Tuo to open his head? !

So day and night passed, and Han Lingfan's condition made no progress.

As for Imperial Physician Wu, he had gone back to his hometown to visit relatives. He had just returned to the capital today when he was hurriedly summoned by the emperor to the palace to diagnose Han Lingfan's pulse.

The round-faced little palace lady felt heavy in her heart and couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know if Dr. Wu can..." Healed His Highness the Fifth Prince.

Before she finished speaking, she saw another oval-faced palace maid walking out of the side hall and looking towards her with a frown.

The round-faced little palace lady shrank her neck in fear and did not dare to talk to Xia He anymore. She walked into the palace carrying a food box in one hand and a skirt in the other.

The oval-faced palace maid glared hard at the round-faced palace maid, but did not reprimand her. Because of the fifth prince's condition, the Empress is in a low mood. Who dares to cause trouble and make the Empress even more troubled?

The two palace maids walked lightly into the palace in the side hall. At this moment, the palace was overcrowded. The emperor, queen and queen mother were all inside, all with solemn expressions, and many frightened palace servants were waiting on the side. , the entry and exit of the two palace maids did not attract any attention at all, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the bed against the wall.

Han Lingfan was lying there with his eyes closed, his cheeks flushed abnormally due to the high fever. He had been seriously ill for several days, making his originally plump cheeks slightly sunken, and his pale and dry lips often She let out painful moans, and each moan made the queen, a mother, feel like her heart was cut by a knife.

The queen's eyes were swollen from crying, and she stared at Han Lingfan on the bed without blinking, as if her prince would disappear from her eyes if she flashed...

Is her poor prince doomed to suffer many disasters? I finally escaped a fateful fate a few years ago, but this time I was faced with another life-and-death disaster!

The Queen Mother is a believer in Buddhism. She is sitting on a mahogany armchair nearby, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, moving her lips slightly, muttering Buddhist scriptures, and praying devoutly for the fifth prince.
