The Favoured Medical Princess: 829 Showdown
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Yushi Zuodu was in a trance. He didn't know how he walked out of the hall and the palace. His heart felt like he had sunk to the bottom of the valley, and he was at a loss.
He didn't know how to return to the emperor. When the emperor learns this news, Long Yan will definitely be furious. The Zhennan Palace will be thousands of miles away by then, and I am afraid that he will be the one to be angered by the emperor...
Thinking about it, Yushi Zuodu was already sweating profusely, and the cold sweat on his back soaked his shirt.
What should he do? !
Just when he was at a loss what to do, there was suddenly a lively noise in front of him, and several civilians hurriedly ran past him, shouting in a hurry:
"I heard that the prince is back from spring hunting!"
"Yes, yes, people have already arrived at Zhen'an Street in front!"
"I just heard that the prince's spring hunting is a 'big harvest'!"
"Of course, our officers and soldiers in the Southern Xinjiang Army are invincible, so just a few ferocious beasts are nothing!"
"..."
The Zuodu Censor was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. His originally dim eyes regained some sparkle.
Is King Zhennan back? !
Maybe...maybe there is still a way for me to survive!
Yushi Zuodu’s eyes flashed, and he immediately made up his mind. He gestured to his entourage and said, "Follow me!"
He must speak to King Zhennan before he returns to the palace...
Yushi Zuodu followed the few people who were watching the excitement and rode away. After turning a corner, he saw dozens of soldiers riding tall horses galloping towards this direction a hundred feet away. Come, some people passing by consciously moved to both sides of the road.
Among the soldiers, the leader was a middle-aged man wearing a python robe of the feudal lord, with his horse hooves flying in high spirits.
Obviously, this person is King Zhennan!
The Yushi of Zuodu rode his horse to the middle of the street, then turned over and dismounted, gritted his teeth and shouted to the King of Zhennan on the horse: "Your Majesty, this official is Hongyong, the Yushi of Zuodu, who was sent by the emperor to convey the decree to southern Xinjiang. Ambition!"
When the King of Zhennan saw that someone dared to block the road, he originally planned to let people drive him away, but he did not expect that the other person claimed to be an imperial envoy from the royal capital. The smile on his face suddenly dropped and his heart sank. Obviously nothing good will happen if the emperor sends someone here!
The King of Zhennan could only hold the horse's rope. Amidst the uneasy neighing of the horse, he stopped two or three feet away from Zuodu Yushi.
"See you, Your Majesty." The Censor of Zuodu bowed to the King of Zhennan in a serious manner, and then raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, I have just met the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince keeps saying that Southern Xinjiang wants to be independent. , Dare I ask what the prince means?!"
The tone of Zuodu Yushi's tone was somewhat questioning. His words were not so much questioning the King of Zhennan, but were actually meant to be spoken to the soldiers present and the common people on the roadside.
Even if King Zhennan and Prince Xiao want to rebel and seek independence in southern Xinjiang, can their generals dare to follow them? ! Do the people in his southern Xinjiang dare to rebel? !
At this moment, in front of everyone, does King Zhennan still dare to admit that what Xiao Yi said was his instruction? !
Yushi Zuodu’s eyes were blazing, and he stared at King Zhennan without blinking, looking upright and upright.
The King of Zhennan was stunned, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted. If it were not for the public at this moment, he would almost pinch his thigh to see if this was a nightmare? !
The naughty son said that Southern Xinjiang wants independence? !
Why doesn’t his dignified King Zhennan know about Southern Xinjiang’s independence? !
For a moment, King Zhennan only felt that the top of his head was green. Apart from being frightened, a surge of anger rose from his heart...
Not only King Zhennan was shocked, but also the dozens of soldiers behind him and the people around him. They looked at each other with different expressions. The people could not help but whisper among themselves...
The noise from the people around him finally brought the King of Zhennan back to his senses. He instinctively wanted to ask clearly and comfort the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu. However, he saw Yao Yance, who was behind him, took a few steps forward and suddenly made a sound. Said: "How brave! How dare you make such a rude noise in front of the prince! If someone comes, why don't you take this person away!"
Although Yao Yan still didn't understand the situation, he also understood that he couldn't let King Zhennan show weakness to the imperial envoy in front of so many people. He had to find a way to fool King Zhennan away.
Thinking about it, he turned to the King of Zhennan and whispered: "My lord, do you think you should ask the prince first before making any plans?"
The King of Zhennan narrowed his eyes. Yes, Yao Yan is right. Even if this matter needs to be discussed to the end, it cannot be said in front of so many people. If you go out, the rebellion in southern Xinjiang will become an established fact!
Seeing that King Zhennan's face was loosening, Yao Yan said again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, people will eventually be optimistic about the Zuodu Yushi..."
The King of Zhennan made a gesture, and immediately four accompanying soldiers came forward. The scabbard was horizontal, which frightened the Zuodu Yushi to tremble and turn pale. He didn't want to commit his life to southern Xinjiang, so he could only leave with those few soldiers.
But the noise on the street did not subside. King Zhennan's face was as sinking as water, he held his horse's belly and walked eagerly in the direction of the palace.
The gate of the palace was closed soon after King Zhennan entered the palace, blocking the prying eyes from outside.
The face of King Zhennan was so ugly that he almost dripped with ink. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go and ask that traitor to come to the study to see me?!"
As he spoke, blue veins popped up on King Zhennan’s face, and he was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke. If Xiao Yi was in front of him at this moment, he really wanted to strangle this traitor to death!
The woman here is indeed the debt of her previous life!
A boy took the order and left in a hurry.
After burning incense, Xiao Yi slowly rushed to King Zhennan’s study room. His sleepy look made King Zhennan almost want to throw away the paperweight on his desk, but he finally remembered the urgent task and pointed at it. Xiao Yi raised his nose and asked: "You?! Did you tell Zuodu Yushi that Southern Xinjiang wanted independence?!"
"Father, your study should be ventilated!" Xiao Yi answered the question and kindly opened the window for King Zhennan. A gust of cool breeze blew in with a "squeak" sound, and Xiao Yi smiled with satisfaction.
The veins on King Zhennan’s forehead twitched. He was almost wondering if the traitor wanted to talk about him, but he listened to the traitor and nodded matter-of-factly: "It's me."
As he spoke, he casually lifted his robe and sat down on the armchair by the window.
King Zhennan felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured down on his head, and he felt chilled all over.
Is it really this traitor who wants to rebel? !
For a while, King Zhennan forgot to be angry, and could not help but start thinking about it in his mind. When the emperor knows the news, he will definitely not be able to bear this tone. At that time, the emperor will mobilize troops from all over the country, which will be Dayu's million-strong army. No, excluding the 200,000 soldiers of his southern Xinjiang army, that will be a full 800,000 troops!
At that time, how can he compete with his only 200,000 troops in southern Xinjiang? !
It’s over!
Conspiracy to rebel is a crime that can be punished by execution!
He has worked conscientiously for most of his life, and the foundation that his father, the king, built during his military life is about to be destroyed by this traitorous son's lies!
The King of Zhennan felt a chill on his neck, as if he had seen a butcher's knife hanging high above, and he didn't know when it would fall down...
Xiao Yi admired the blue, white, red, and purple face of his father, and naturally guessed what he was thinking, and the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became even stronger.
Another gust of breeze blew from the window, causing Xiao Yi's hair to caress his handsome face, giving him a hint of wildness.
Xiao Yi tilted his head, his long black hair flowing down. He casually supported his cheek with his right hand and said casually:
"Nowadays, Nanjiang, Nanliang, Baiyue, and Xiye are all my territory. It's okay for the imperial court to be more peaceful. They come here to cause trouble from time to time, and I don't have time to play with them!" He He also wants to accompany his Crown Princess!
Xiao Yi spoke such shocking words in such an understatement, without concealing his impatience with the emperor in his tone.
On this day, King Zhennan once again felt like he had been struck by lightning.
What... what did this traitor just say? !
Were Nanliang and Baiyue also defeated by this traitor? !
When did it happen?
Why didn't he know? !
For a moment, the King of Zhennan forgot to care about Xiao Yi’s claim that Southern Xinjiang was his. His mind was filled with questions one after another, and he tried hard to recall the strange behavior of this traitor in the past two years...
Xiao Yi had no intention of sitting here to answer questions for King Zhennan. He suddenly stood up, dusted off the non-existent dust on his robes, and said with a smile: "Anyway, we have beaten them down. From now on, these But they are all the property of brats...or..."
Xiao Yi paused deliberately, then tilted his head and looked at King Zhennan and asked: "Father, do you want to dedicate Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye to the emperor?"
As soon as the scale that placed the emperor and his grandson in his heart was lifted, King Zhennan's heart was immediately divided into priorities. Instead of dedicating it to the emperor, it would be better to leave it to your precious golden grandson!
But if this is the case, doesn’t it mean that their Zhennan Palace is really planning to rebel? !
The King of Zhennan was wavering, with a very tangled expression on his face. He couldn't help but ask again: "Have Baiyue and Nanliang really been defeated?"
"Of course." Xiao Yi smiled like a cat that had stolen something, his half-narrowed eyes shining brightly.
After saying that, Xiao Yi was too lazy to entertain King Zhennan anymore and said directly: "Father, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have to go back to take care of my son!"
Xiao Yi spoke confidently and strode away regardless of King Zhennan's reaction.
"..." King Zhennan looked at Xiao Yi's leaving figure, his mouth opened and closed, and he couldn't make a decision for a while. That was the kingdom of several countries...
There is no reason to pour out the fat that has already entered the bowl of their Zhennan Prince's Mansion, right?
But can the emperor tolerate them eating "meat"? !
The more the King of Zhennan thought about it, the more entangled he became, and finally he said to himself that he had never heard of independence in southern Xinjiang, he didn’t know...
Since King Zhennan couldn't make up his mind, Xiao Yi simply "kindly" made up his mind for his father. In the next few days, Xiao Yi directly turned darkness into light and sent orders to all directions in the name of King Zhennan. :
Southern Xinjiang broke away from Dayu and became officially independent. Baiyue, Nanliang, and Xiye were all converted into counties and belonged to Southern Xinjiang!
In addition, several small countries from Nanliang to Xiye have already surrendered, and the territory of Southern Xinjiang has expanded several times. It is already a behemoth that can intimidate all parties and rival Dayu!
For a time, the palace of Zhennan King was full of people. Early in the morning, three veteran generals from the army came together to ask for an audience with King Zhennan, hoping to persuade King Zhennan not to act out of ambition and become an enemy of Dayu.
The boy immediately led the people to the small lake northwest of the outer study. The three veterans were dumbfounded. They saw King Zhennan wearing a simple green robe and a bamboo hat, fishing in a small boat. , at first glance, it looks like a wandering cloud and wild crane.
What does King Zhennan mean? ! The three veterans looked at each other. Is he hinting that "Jiang Taigong fishes for those who are willing to take the bait"? Or "fishing alone in the snow in the cold river"? Or is it "water can carry a boat but also capsize it"? ……
The three veterans were elusive. You looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, they responded, "The three monks have no water to drink." The three of them just discussed fishing with the King of Zhennan, and no one said anything. Can change the topic to "independence of southern Xinjiang".
The three veterans came with great ambitions and left uneasily.
In the past few days, several groups of people came to see King Zhennan. No matter who came, they saw King Zhennan fishing in an "unpredictable" place...
Unconsciously, "Zhennan King Fishing" has become an unsolvable mystery among the Southern Xinjiang army.
However, for the people of Southern Xinjiang, the Zhennan Palace has governed and protected Southern Xinjiang for decades. The imperial court is simply dispensable to Southern Xinjiang. Therefore, whether southern Xinjiang is independent is just a temporary topic among the people. It only made some ripples in the first few days. After that, everything returned to normal, and the people continued to do whatever they should do...
Xiao Yi didn't care about the disturbance he caused. These external disturbances had no impact on him at all. On this day, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue took Xiao Yu to Qingyunwu together.
Everyone was sitting around a large carved mahogany case. On top of the large case was a large parchment map. This map was the new southern Xinjiang map that Guan Yubai had started to draw at night in the west. The map has only been completed in these two days.
Looking down at this map, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai's eyes were shining. This is the country they built step by step and at the cost of countless lives!
Little Xiao Yu, who was sitting in Xiao Yi's arms, saw his father and adoptive father looking at a large "painting" on the case. He also looked at it curiously, but couldn't see the trick. He twisted his body and tried to crawl to the big picture. Go up to the case.
Xiao Yi immediately found out his "unruly intentions", lightly patted his round buttocks, and said with a smile: "You bastard, stay calm!"
Facing the little guy's innocent and curious eyes, Xiao Yi simply grabbed one of Xiaotuanzi's chubby paws, led him to point to a certain city on the map, and then said: "This is Luoyue City, home!"
Little Xiao Yu understood the last word and smiled happily: "Home!"
The little guy's obedience and cooperation gave Xiao Yi a subtle sense of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He continued to pinch the little guy's chubby fingers and moved them south, and then said: "This is Baiyue County..."
No matter whether the little guy understood it or not, Xiao Yi taught him to recognize the places on the map step by step... The little guy felt like he was playing an interesting little game, and he let out crisp laughter from time to time. The atmosphere was very cheerful.
Sitting next to Xiao Yi, Nangong Yue looked at the father and son with a smile, her heart soft and peaceful, like a clear spring flowing in her heart...
Even if Xiao Yi didn't say it, she would have known that southern Xinjiang would become independent sooner or later.
Even if Southern Xinjiang does nothing, it is destined to be a worry in the emperor's heart. What's more, Southern Xinjiang is getting stronger and stronger under the emperor's nose. The emperor has long been unable to tolerate Southern Xinjiang!
To put it bluntly, the emperor was worried about rebellion in southern Xinjiang and the Northern Expedition. However, in Nangong Yue's view, the emperor's worries were nothing more than mediocre worries.
She understands her Ayi!
Her Ayi is the most arrogant. She will not offend others unless they attack her. Furthermore, her Ayi is capable of opening up new territories, so why should she covet Dayu's empire?
It's a pity that since the emperor has doubts in his heart, he will never believe it!
At this time, Xiao Yi and Xiao Yu's fingers had reached the end of the "journey" - Xiye County.
"West...Ye...County." The little guy muttered vaguely, then looked up at Xiao Yi, waiting for his father to praise him.
Xiao Yi rubbed the top of Xiaotuanzi's hair perfunctorily, deliberately messing up his hair.
The course is now over, but the little guy is still a little unfinished. He looked around half a circle and noticed a similar "painting" hanging on one of the walls. He pointed there and called We stood up and said, "Daddy, Daddy..." We continued to play!
Xiao Yi followed the little guy's fingers and saw that there was also a map hanging on the wall, Dayu's map.
Xiao Yi's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something. He put his left arm around the little guy's chubby waist, and took one of Nangong Yue's hands with his right hand, saying: "By the way, Ah Yue, I want to go to the royal capital with Xiaobai!"
Xiao Yi obviously did not tell Guan Yubai in advance. Guan Yubai, who was sitting opposite him, had a look of surprise on his face.
After these days of recuperation, Guan Yubai's originally pale complexion gradually turned rosy. These days, Lin Jingchen came over every day to perform acupuncture on Guan Yubai. Although Guan Yubai's right hand had not improved for the time being, his complexion did look better. Much better...
Seeing Lin Jingchen being so active in treatment made it difficult for Guan Yubai to say something.
He wanted to go to the capital, but he hadn’t even mentioned it to Xiaosi because he wasn’t sure when he would be able to start. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi had already seen what he was thinking and brought it up first...
Xiao Yi grabbed the little guy's hands again and counted the days with his fingers. Xiao Yu was confused by his father and let his father fiddle with his fingers... After a moment, Xiao Yi raised his hand. Eyes affirmed: "Next month is an auspicious time, so just go next month."
Even Guan Yubai was a little confused by Xiao Yi. After being stunned for a while, he realized what he was doing, looked at Xiao Yi deeply, smiled, and slowly uttered one word: "Okay!"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Yu looked back and forth at his father and adoptive father, and smiled stupidly as if he was afraid of falling behind.
The golden sunlight shines softly into the house through the windows and doors. The inside and outside of the house are bright and transparent, and the air is filled with the fragrance of lotus.
Summer in southern Xinjiang is a sunny day.
When Xiao Yi's family of three came out of Qingyunwu, the sun was already setting, and the sleepy little guy had fallen asleep in his father's arms, spitting bubbles from time to time.
With a "pop" sound, another saliva bubble burst on his lips. Nangong Yue took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the little guy's mouth. Xiao Yi cooperated with her and stopped, saying: " Ah Yue, if you come here and there this time, we will be back in two months at most!"
Nangong Yue's men paused for a moment, wiped the corners of the little guy's mouth, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yi, and asked softly: "Ayi, are you here to bring the general back?"
There was a touch of sadness and melancholy in her soft voice.
Xiao Yi responded and looked deeply into Nangong Yue's eyes, with several ripples in his dark peach blossom eyes.
The one who knows others is Ah Yue!
Xiao Yi hugged Xiao Yu, who was sleeping so hard that he didn't know the east, west or north, and continued walking forward, looking far away at the northern sky.
"We can't let Xiaobai go to the capital alone." Xiao Yi sighed.
Nangong Yue responded, half-lowering her eyes, the events many years ago flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern, how she met Guan Yubai and Xiao Si by chance, how she reached a cooperation with Guan Yubai Relationship... Later, how did Guan Yubai clear up the grievances of the official family, and returned to the capital with great fanfare with the coffins of the official family full of heroes...
For Guan Yubai, if their old mansion and cemetery were not still in the Royal Capital, I am afraid that the Royal Capital would also be a sad place that he would never want to touch again.
"Moreover," a sharp light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he said meaningfully, "Now is the best time!"
Based on his understanding of the emperor, when the emperor knew that Southern Xinjiang had captured Baiyue, Nanliang and Xiye, and with his bullying and fearful temperament, his fear of Southern Xinjiang would inevitably rise to the highest point. He and Guan Yubai must seize this opportunity to get things done as soon as possible, so that General Guan and his wife can reunite under Jiuquan as soon as possible...
A warm summer wind blew, making the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees rustle. Nangong Yue's sigh escaped from her lips, and was blown away by the wind, covered by the swaying of the branches and leaves...

Happy New Year to everyone~
