The Favoured Medical Princess: 585 closes the network
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
The sky was bright and the entire Yanding City was still quiet, but the courtyard where Nangong Yue lived in the garrison was already busy and noisy.
Early in the morning, before Nangong Yue had breakfast, Han Qixia hurried over and brought a bowl of thick brown concoction.
This bowl of concoction is naturally not for Nangong Yue to drink.
"Yue'er, take a look. Grandpa said the recipe should be about the same this time..." Han Qixia eagerly brought the wooden tray with the medicine bowl to Nangong Yue.
Seeing Han Qixia carrying the big bowl full of medicinal juice with flying steps, Nangong Yue couldn't help but feel a little nervous for her. It wasn't until she put down the tray that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She sighed in her heart for an unknown number of times: Sister Xia has changed so much!
"Sister Xia, sit down quickly." Nangong Yue took Han Qixia's hand and sat down, not missing the shadow of fatigue caused by Han Qixia's eyes.
Since Mo Xiuyu came back two days ago, Nangong Yue and Lin Jingchen began to adjust the recipe of the concoction. They revised it several times. They still felt dissatisfied and wanted it to be perfect.
This concoction will be used in the Southern Xinjiang Army. If the soldiers become unwell, it will affect the war with Nanliang. It is really a matter of great importance and cannot be careless at all.
Until last night, they still deliberated and discussed until midnight before they dispersed...
It is not yet Chen hour, but the concoction has already been boiled. Nangong Yue calculated the time and figured that her grandfather and Sister Xia must have gotten up early and started working before dawn.
Nangong Yue did not say thank you. Given their relationship, saying thank you was too polite. She just had to keep many things in mind.
Nangong Yue calmed down and focused on the bowl of concoction in front of her, observing its color, smelling its aroma, and eating its taste... She pondered for a moment, with joy on her face, and said, "Sister Xia, It’s just right, it will definitely work this time!”
Han Qixia was also overjoyed.
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Baihui, send this concoction to the official, and then post a notice in front of the garrison mansion, and recruit some women to help." The next step is to order a large amount. We are making masks, but the women we recruited last time were not enough.
"Yes, Crown Princess."
Baihui took the order and left. As soon as she stepped out, Lily and Huamei came in carrying food boxes.
Han Qixia didn't notice at all, her thoughts were still immersed in the medicinal juice, and she said: "Yue'er, about the medicine..."
"Sister Xia," Nangong Yue interrupted Han Qixia softly, "This matter is not urgent for a while...you haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
She seemed to have a questioning tone, but her eyes when looking at Han Qixia were very sure, making Han Qixia look stunned - needless to say, the answer was obvious.
Nangong Yue sighed in her heart and quickly signaled Huamei with her eyes to prepare the meal.
"Lily, take some porridge to grandpa." Nangong Yue ordered. Grandpa's temperament meant that he would forget to eat and sleep easily when he was busy.
Lily responded crisply and hurried away.
Breakfast is as simple as ever, just a bowl of porridge and two plates of side dishes, but today there is an extra golden burrito...
As soon as they saw the golden burritos from the north appearing on the dinner table in southern Xinjiang, Nangong Yue and Han Qixia's expressions were a little subtle, and a faint feeling of homesickness lingered in their hearts.
They left the capital for different reasons, but they have one thing in common——
They have no regrets!
The two girls looked at each other, smiled in relief, and recalled this long-lost taste over the golden burrito.
This golden burrito tastes really good. Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of her mouth.
Huamei explained at the side: "Prince Concubine, Chef Liu in the palace has learned several royal dishes for guests from the royal capital before, and today I specially made this golden cake for you to try, Crown Princess... "Actually, a few maids thought that Nangong Yue had a poor appetite recently, so they asked the cook if he knew how to make Wangdu's snacks. It turned out that the cook really knew how to...
Han Qixia nodded and praised: "This chef's skills are good. I will learn from him someday. I can also cook for my grandfather in the future..." As she said that, another figure appeared in her mind. He should also Will you like it?
Nangong Yue was sitting next to Han Qixia and naturally noticed the subtle changes in her expression. She understood in her heart and said deliberately: "Huamei, ask the cook to make some and send them to Mr. Fu." She also glanced at him with a smile. Han Qixia glanced with a hint of ridicule.
"Yes, Crown Princess." Huamei knelt down and accepted the order, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on her face.
Seeing this, a faint blush appeared on Han Qixia's pretty face. She ignored Nangong Yue, lowered her head and focused on the food.
Nangong Yue also accepted the offer and came to have breakfast.
Both of them had good appetites and ate up the breakfast table.
At this time, Baihui, who had gone out to do errands, also came back. The master and servants went to the west room. This room was not big. It was a small study room that Nangong Yue specially ordered the maids to clean up. It was a place where she usually read books and held affairs.
With Baihui waiting on the side, they continued to discuss the unfinished business before breakfast.
Han Qixia had long been full of words. As soon as she sat down, she asked: "Yue'er, how are we preparing the medicinal herbs now?" If the medicinal materials are not available in one day, it will be like a coincidence in Yanding City. It is difficult for a woman to make a meal without rice.
Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Zhou Dacheng's flying pigeon sent a message saying that the medicinal materials we want are almost ready... I also plan to ask An Yihou to borrow a few more military doctors from the army to help." Different from making masks, any girl or woman who knows how to do some needlework can help. Making medicine is much more detailed and trivial, and you must ask someone who knows medicine to do it.
Seeing that Nangong Yue had already made plans in her mind, Han Qixia felt relieved and said: "Yue'er, my grandfather said so too." This concoction is related to military affairs, and it is not easy to hire a doctor in the city at will. The most suitable candidate is Or a military doctor.
The two discussed carefully about making the concoction. From picking herbs, processing to brewing the concoction, they planned to divide it into several steps and conduct each step separately to improve efficiency.
Baihui wrote down notes on the side and skillfully compiled them into several concise lists, which were then reviewed by Nangong Yue and Han Qixia.
After getting busy, time passed very quickly. Seeing that noon had passed, Huamei came in with the curtain raised. He was about to remind the two masters to have some lunch, but he did not expect an uninvited guest to come to the house——
The concierge sent someone to report that Sun Xinyi was here.
Baihui thought about the day before yesterday when the Crown Princess said that Sun Xinyi would come to pay her respects in the near future, and indeed she did!
After a while, Sun Xinyi, who was dressed in plain clothes and dressed elegantly, came in under the guidance of a little maid.
Sun Xinyi saluted the two of them elegantly and gracefully, with a smile on her pretty face and a gentle and elegant expression.
"Miss Sun, no courtesy." Nangong Yue raised her hand politely, gesturing for Sun Xinyi to sit down.
Han Qixia bowed and returned the gift thoughtfully.
After she and Sun Xinyi broke up in the garrison on bad terms that day, they met again at the wounded barracks the next day. At that time, Sun Xinyi apologized to her in private, saying that she was confused and got into trouble. of...
This did not make Han Qixia relieved. On the contrary, it made her feel that this person had many distracting thoughts. She felt a little sad in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh for the deceased Sun Shoubei and Mrs. Sun. She only hoped that the Sun family's heroes would not be stained because of Sun Xinyi's inappropriate behavior.
However, even if Han Qixia thinks that Sun Xinyi should not have a close friendship, after all, the other party is a loyal and loyal queen, and the courtesy should not be less.
Sun Xinyi was well aware of Han Qixia's alienation, but she was still generous and sat down opposite Han Qixia as if nothing had happened, with a gentle smile hanging on her lips.
After Huamei served tea quickly, Sun Xinyi smiled and said the reason for her visit: "Prince Concubine, Miss Han, I have taken the liberty of visiting you. Please don't be offended if you are rude. There are many poisonous insects in Yanding City this season. Xinyi has been here for a few days. I sewed several sachets on the same day and put some cordyceps unique to the Yanding City area in them, specially sent to you two."
While speaking, her maid Caiwei took out two sachets, one rose red and the other green lotus. She respectfully presented the former to Huamei and the latter to Han Qixia.
You can tell by the color at first glance that Sun Xinyi specially selected the fabric for Nangong Yue and Han Qixia and sewed it carefully.
Nangong Yue looked at the sachet in her hand, which was embroidered with a pair of delicate pomegranates, symbolizing many children and good fortune - this Miss Sun was really thoughtful.
Nangong Yue played with it for a while, then handed the sachet to Huamei and put it away. She praised with a smile: "Miss Sun's craftsmanship is really good."
Hearing this, Sun Xinyiti suddenly felt relieved in mid-air. She was originally worried that Han Qixia would rely on her friendship with the Crown Princess to slander herself in front of the Crown Princess. Fortunately, the Crown Princess was sensible and generous.
Sun Xinyi felt at ease, and even her slender waist straightened a lot. She took advantage of the situation and said: "Prince Concubine, when Xinyi came just now, I happened to see you on the notice board in front of the guard mansion. Recruiting women to help make some female reds, Xinyi also wants to give it a try..." As she said that, her expression showed a trace of tragedy and sadness, "My father and mother died for Yanding City, Xinyi is just a female stream, can't I went to the battlefield to avenge my parents and brothers, but I also hope that with my meager strength, I can do my best for Yanding City, and I also hope that my concubine will be fulfilled."
Nangong Yue smiled slightly and agreed happily: "Miss Sun has such a good intention. Now is the time when we are short of manpower, so I won't be polite."
Following that, she turned to Baihui and told Baihui: "Baihui, tell Miss Sun what you need to make."
Baihui naturally bowed her head and agreed.
It’s done! The smile on Sun Xinyi's lips became even stronger.
She is a concubine. She has been good at observing people's emotions since she was a child, and she is lovable.
From the first time she came to greet Nangong Yue, Sun Xinyi began to wonder what kind of person she liked more. Seeing that Nangong Yue had a good relationship with Han Qixia, she tried hard to make her behavior similar to Han Qixia... …
Han Qixia is gentle, so I must be gentler than her;
Han Qixia is simple, so she should be simpler than her;
Han Qixia is harmless, so she should be more harmless than her...
Sure enough, the Crown Princess has become more and more kind to herself in recent days.
One day, I will be able to replace Han Qixia's position. By then...
A bright light flashed in Sun Xinyi's eyes.
Nangong Yue smiled faintly, and there was a hint of loneliness on the corner of her lips. After a few casual greetings, she asked Baihui to take Sun Xinyi down. ...Half an hour later, Sun Xinyi left with some gauze.
The master and servant walked back to a two-entry courtyard on East Street.
After the Southern Xinjiang Army retook Yanding City, they packed it up for them to stay temporarily.
Mr. Jing Qian was on good terms with Sun Shoubei and treated Sun Xinyi as if he were his own junior. Originally, he saw that there was only a maid named Caiwei beside her, so he specifically came to ask if he wanted to send a little maid here again, so as not to She had to be wronged. However, Sun Xinyi politely and sensibly refused, and stated righteously that she would share the joys and sorrows with the people in the city, insisting that Caiwei alone was enough for her.
As a grown man, Mr. Jing Qian naturally didn’t bother with such trivial matters, so he didn’t mention it again and only asked someone to send some rice and grain every few days.
Therefore, except for a sturdy woman who comes over every morning to help with some cleaning, there are only two masters and servants in this yard, Sun Xinyi and Caiwei.
But today, as soon as Sun Xinyi entered the house, she found that there was an extra person in the house, like a ghost, silent and silent.
A man with dark skin and a thin body was sitting at the table, looking at Sun Xinyi with cold eyes.
"..." Caiwei behind Sun Xinyi was so frightened that her eyes widened for a moment, and she almost screamed, so she hurriedly covered her mouth.
Sun Xinyi's pretty face turned pale, and she reluctantly ordered Caiwei calmly: "Go and guard outside."
"It's... girl." Caiwei responded indifferently, glanced at the man, and was so frightened by the other man's cold eyes that she shrunk and ran to the entrance of the yard in a panic.
The man sneered, sat down calmly, and let the maid run out, not afraid that the other party would bring in reinforcements.
Sun Xinyi gritted her teeth and finally asked: "You...what do you want?" Her hands clenched tightly into fists unconsciously.
The man raised his eyebrows and asked straight to the point: "Miss Sun, is the imperial concubine in Yanding City now?" His tone was stiff, and although the pronunciation of each word was accurate, there was a strange sense of disharmony. , with a hint of disdain and ridicule.
It turned out that his target was the Crown Princess... Sun Xinyi felt relieved a little and nodded.
"It seems that you have already met the Crown Princess?" The man in black narrowed his triangular eyes and asked thoughtfully.
Sun Xinyi felt her heart rising again, but she could only nod again.
The man touched his stubble-covered chin, and then asked a series of questions: "Tell me about the princess's temperament, and how many guards are there around her? What is the relationship between Prince Zhennan and her... …”
Listening to these questions one after another, Sun Xinyi's heart sank completely, and an ominous feeling arose spontaneously. However, she was already stuck in the mud and could no longer climb out...
After burning the incense, the man quietly climbed over the wall and left. From the beginning to the end, except for Sun Xinyi's master and servant, the whole street did not know that an uninvited guest was here.
That day, a gray carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew out of a corner of the city... That night, the carrier pigeon flew into a certain mansion in Dengli City.
The black-faced Nanliang deputy general Conanli immediately presented the secret message brought by the carrier pigeon to the coach Ikaro.
"Commander, this is the flying pigeon message sent from Yanding City!"
Ikaro nodded slightly, the flying pigeon delivering the message came at the right time.
Early this morning, he had to report that Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Zhennan, had led an army to Yongjia City. This move showed a fighting spirit. Presumably, after the other party set up camp and reorganized their army, they would officially attack Dengli City.
After months of truce between the two sides, the war was finally about to resume. Ikaro had no fear in his heart, only expectation, and even excitement.
Although he did not expect Xiao Yi to be the first to send troops, the timing was really great!
It is now mid-November, when the orchids are in full bloom, which means more pollen will fall.
And everything he has spent several months laying out will be the key to disintegrating the Southern Xinjiang Army!
Nanliang will win this battle!
Ikaro quickly took the letter and looked down at it. His eyes quickly paused on the words Princess Zhennan, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes...
The Princess of Zhennan kept a low profile when she first arrived in Yanding City, and the spies almost missed her, but it was obvious that she was a flamboyant woman. He recruited women to do strange prostitutes with great fanfare. Naturally, this publicity could not be concealed from the spies he had installed in Yanding City. He had already received a letter from Fei Ge a few days ago and knew about it.
Last time in Luoyue City, they tried their best to capture the Crown Princess of Zhennan, but instead suffered heavy losses... In the end, the nine kings were captured, and Yanding City and Yongjia City were captured by the opponent in one fell swoop. Even now that Icaro thinks about it, he still gnashes his teeth with hatred.
This time it was an opportunity presented to her by herself.
Although according to his original plan, this battle could be won, but with the Princess of Zhennan in hand, it might be smoother. So, Ikaro immediately asked the spy to continue to investigate...
Ikaro quickly read the letter in his hand, with a sinister smile on his lips.
Like the news coming back from Luo Yue City, Xiao Yi and his eldest concubine have a good relationship. Last time, Xiao Yi dared to use the Nine Kings as a shield to attack Yanding City. This time, he will definitely let Xiao Yi feel it. Now, what does it mean to "repay others with their own way"!
Not only that, there was also good news that he didn't expect...
Conan, who was standing at the side and bowed, saw that the coach was in a good mood, and boldly said: "Commander, that woman that day was finally useful, and her life was not in vain!" He clasped his fists and was attentive. He said, "The commander is really wise!"
At first, in his opinion, such a weak woman could just be killed with one knife or sent to the red tent. He never thought that this woman could be of such use!
Ikaro casually put the letter on the desk and said meaningfully: "If you are not careful, you will lose the whole game! Sometimes a small and inconspicuous chess piece can change the chess game. Play a vital role..."
Conanli seemed to understand.
Yikaluo added: "... Xiao Yi hurriedly ordered people to leave the city a few days ago to **** a group of important things to Yanding City. If my prediction is correct, it should be a group of iron arrows, Conanli , I want you to rob it!"
"Iron arrow?! The iron arrow used in the repeating crossbow?" Conanli blurted out in shock, his face not looking good.
I don’t know who actually designed such a terrifying repeating crossbow. It can be said to be an invincible weapon. If the entire Southern Xinjiang Army could be equipped with this kind of repeating crossbow, their Southern Liang Army would definitely lose.
It’s just that the iron arrows used by the repeating crossbows require a large amount of iron ore, and the Southern Xinjiang Army can never equip such repeating crossbows on a large scale...
The iron arrow is not only the advantage of the repeating crossbow, making it unstoppable, but it is also the biggest shortcoming of the repeating crossbow.
Konan calmed himself down and asked respectfully: "Commander, how did you know that these things are iron arrows?" He also read the secret letter from the spy, but it clearly didn't mention anything in it. About Tetsuya.
Ikaro smiled calmly and said: "Xiao Yi led his troops to the expedition, but left his Divine Arm Battalion in Yanding City. Why do you think it is? There is probably something missing... "So what is missing?" Naturally, it is the Iron Arrow that the Divine Arm Camp lacks the most! "It's a pity that Xiao Yi will never be able to wait for these iron arrows."
"Commander, leave everything to the general!" Conanli said eagerly, his eyes gleaming with bloodthirsty light, almost impatient. They have been feeling aggrieved for a long time. The Southern Xinjiang army robbed them of two batches of food and grass, and also killed many of their Southern Liang soldiers... With all the old and new grudges added up, it's time to settle the matter!
Yikaluo remained silent. He stood up and walked to the map on the wall. He looked at the terrain near Yanding City. His eyes first fell on Yulan Mountain in the south of Yanding City... This trail is the next one. The key is not available yet, so...
His eyes moved to the left and stopped on a swamp more than ten miles southwest of Yanding City, with a decisive light flashing in his eyes.
