Chapter IV: Strategic Offensive and Retreat
"That's it!" Chen Xiaotian set the result of today's discussion: "A letter of resignation to Gao Yingjie...... Let the children in Luochi move again...... On the front line...... It seems that Wang Jingluo has been very comfortable this year, and he can't be made more comfortable, I ...... I want to drive the expedition!"
"Your Majesty thinks twice!" When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down, wanting Chen Xiaotian to dispel this thought.
"I personally went on two expeditions last year, why can't I go this year?" Chen Xiaotian said to everyone with his hands behind his back: "He Wang Jingluo has arrived in front of the battle, if I don't go, wouldn't it seem stingy?!"
The news that the King of Qi was once again going to drive the royal expedition spread in the palace, and the palace of Qi fell into a tense atmosphere.
The Queen Mother talked with King Qi for a long time, and at first she wanted to persuade her son not to risk his life again, but when she returned from injury last year, the Queen Mother was worried. But every time she reverses to comfort herself: it's okay that she just hurt her arm, it's okay, it's okay......
But during the conversation, Chen Xiaotian successfully persuaded the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother could only hold a handkerchief, wipe her tears, and tell her son to be careful and come back early.
The day of departure was soon set for three days later.
Before leaving, there are various discussions, various meetings, and various strategic guidelines...... So, until Chen Xiaotian left, he didn't see Qinmei again.
Then the army marched out, and Chen Xiaotian left Taichang again......
On the first day of February, there was a sudden spring cold, and the brazier that had been removed was moved out again. The big girl and the little lady gathered by the brazier again, rubbing their hands, roasting peanuts and sweet potatoes, and giggling and pulling the east and west families.
Murong Linshuang and Queen Gu were also sitting on the edge of the brazier at this time, embroidering flowers, playing with a tie, chatting with each other.
Akai in the cradle next to him slept sweetly.
"Your Majesty is leaving, I don't know when I will come back. Murong Linshuang started to speak, but these words were instantly pushed back by Queen Gu.
"Even if Your Majesty comes back, aren't you living the same life?"
Since he was pregnant with Akai, King Qi had not looked at Murong Linshuang squarely. Even if it was a family banquet in the Empress Dowager's palace some time ago, King Qi didn't even glance at Murong Linshuang.
It seems that Murong Linshuang can only point to Akai alive in this life.
Don't count on anything else.
However, Akai was raised by Queen Gu......
What's pampered......
What offspring......
What status......
Empress Gu looked at Murong Linshuang, she had almost fulfilled all of the conditions she prescribed. Including the manor in the sea of Qi and the fertile grange in the south of the Yangtze River, which she wanted, have all been under her name.
She's leaving a way out for her future
Empress Gu looked at Murong Linshuang's eyes and became complicated...... This man......
Ay...... Forget it, the poor man must have his hatefulness, and what he does, bear it himself.
"Sister misunderstood what my sister meant......" Murong Linshuang raised her head and met Queen Gu's gaze.
Queen Gu was a little embarrassed by Murong Linshuang, retracted her gaze, and looked at Akai with her eyes, fortunately, he was still sleeping and was not woken up by their conversation.
"That'...... What do you want to say?" asked Empress Gu.
"If Your Majesty doesn't come back for a while, it's easy to do......"
"How?"
"Didn't my sister ask me, what are the other two pieces of evidence?
Murong Linshuang smiled at the corner of her mouth, the work in her hands did not stop, the needles that should be worn, the threads that should be walked, did not fall at all.
So, a big plan, in the conversation between the two, gradually took shape.
The more Empress Gu thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible, so the two of them planned for a long time, divided their respective jobs, and prepared to go their separate ways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haotian's medicine is very useful, Qin Mei's feet are recovering very well, Kang Lao finished the examination, nodded with a smile: "Not bad, good recovery!"
Looking at the ointment in front of him, Kang Lao's eyes lit up.
He brought it from Daming until this time. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Kang Lao felt that this ointment should be Xiaofeng's handiwork, otherwise it would not be so effective.
I have the heart to ask Qinmei for a little to go back to study, but I am afraid that Qinmei will not give it to you...... It's not entangled for a while.
Ning Xiang walked in with a small bottle, handed it to Kang Lao and said, "No, take it, girl, until you have coveted this ointment for a long time, take it and study it!"
Boss Kang looked at Qinmei with joy, and couldn't believe it, he hadn't opened his mouth yet, and this girl was up to his own mind?
"Don't look at me, your thoughts are all written on the connection, who can't see it?" Qin Mei smiled: "You can take it." ”
The artifact that Haotian brought was actually something that mortal medicine could study?
Besides, in the past two years, Kang Lao has also been kind to her, and this ointment can still be given.
"That's right......" Kang Lao put the bottle of ointment into the medicine box, and said to Qin Mei: "The old man is ready to leave, come here today, mainly to see how the girl's injury is recovering, since there is no big problem, the old man can leave!"
"You want to leave?" Qin Mei was a little surprised, why did she suddenly say that she wanted to leave.
"Hmm......" Kang Lao nodded, "I've been in the palace long enough, it's time to get out and walk around." Besides...... Anyway, Your Majesty is not here, no one will stop me!hahahahaha!"
"Then when are you leaving, and I'm going to see you off?" Qin Mei asked.
"Tomorrow...... Well, it's just tomorrow, tomorrow I'll leave, and the girl's legs and feet are not well enough, so I won't have to send them!
After saying goodbye to Qinmei, Kang Lao walked back.
Why did he leave?
Because recently, he suddenly remembered the words of the winter melon monk and asked him to hurry up...... Although this monk is chattering, it seems that there has been no major problem so far.
After all...... After all, this monk himself has already run away, what could be more convincing than that he escaped by himself?
Qinmei is almost good, and he can't be picked at this time.
The reason why he stayed in the palace was also because King Qi strongly invited, and later, because he discovered the strange veins of King Qi.
Since King Qi is no longer in the palace, it is not interesting for him to stay, it is a big deal to go out and travel for a while, and when we meet next time, I will give King Qi a pulse to see if the voice is still there.
And recently, this feeling of uneasiness has been churning in his heart, he can't tell why, he is just uneasy, and he always feels that something is going to happen.
This palace...... Kang Lao looked out of the door, and the sunlight sprinkled in the palace, reflecting the red walls and green tiles, which was gorgeous and extraordinary.
It's just that a feeling of coldness always lingers, and I don't know if it's because this year is colder than in previous years.
Kang Lao quickened his pace, as if there was a big monster behind him chasing after him again.
He has to go back quickly and let Tong'er clean up, tomorrow, yes, he will leave the palace tomorrow!
