Chapter 995: The Siege of the Mausoleum
After nibbling on a pig's trotter, he looked at the chopped pepper fish head in front of Gu Ye, licked his smiling face and asked, "Doctor Xiao Ye'er, what are you eating?" Give me a taste? ”
Gu Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Chop the head of the fish with pepper, don't you like to eat fish?" ”
The fifth prince ate fish when he was a child and was once stuck by a fish bone. The fear and disgust of fish made him fight since then, and he has never touched a single bite of fish, including fish soup.
As soon as he heard that it was a fish, and that it was a head with no meat, he was not interested, and stretched his paw towards a strange-looking dish. I pinched one and put it in my mouth, it was so glutinous and sweet, with a faint fragrance. He ate several bars in a row before he had time to ask, "What is this, dim?" ”
"Turning sand taro is a kind of sweet dish that wraps the taro outside with a layer of frosting." Gu Ye was on the other side of the plate, far away from the claws of the Five Princes, and sandwiched a few small bowls in front of him.
Xiao Hongzi brought the dishes and chopsticks. The five princes are even more like fish in water, and they eat so much! Four dishes and one soup, except for chopped pepper fish head, Gu Ye tasted one or two more bites of other dishes, and let him wrap up the rest.
"Fifth prince, is it really appropriate for you to eat a little, not in your own palace, running to my side?" Gu Ye asked impatiently after drinking the last bite of eel soup.
The fifth prince burped, patted his belly and said, "What's wrong with me coming to my mother's palace?" Little Divine Doctor, where did you get all these delicious foods? I often eat at my mother's place, but I have never had such a good meal. The chef in the kitchenette hasn't changed either! ”
Gu Ye said angrily: "I did it myself, no!" ”
The fifth prince's eyes brightened, and he stared at Gu Ye and said, "Okay, okay!" Doctor Ye'er is really powerful, he can cure diseases, make medicines, and make good food! When will you cook again? ”
Gu Ye grinded his teeth and said, "I don't know, it depends on the mood!" ”
"That'...... When are you in a good mood and let people call me! How lonely and boring it is to dine alone, this prince is kind enough to accompany you to dine, is it touched? The fifth prince said with a smile.
Want to come to eat and drink, and say it so high-sounding, do you want to be faced? Gu Ye didn't even bother to give him a roll of his eyes: "Full?" It's time to get a needle! ”
The fifth prince changed his expression in horror in seconds: "This ...... Is it so sudden? Master, I just finished eating, and I can't eat ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, take off your shirt!" Gu Ye didn't give him any chance to be sloppy, "Do you want to be smart and let your father praise you?" ”
"Good...... All right! The fifth prince sat down on the couch beside him. In order to divert his attention, he had nothing to say, "I've been a little smart in the past two days, and I was praised by the young master for my endorsement today!" ”
Gu Ye pricked needles on his head and back, and said, "As long as you take acupuncture and medicine on time, you will be behind when you are praised in the future!" You're just mentally retarded, and you're not born stupid! ”
The fifth prince said excitedly: "Yes! I'm not stupid!! I'm just a little slower than everyone else! "The fifth prince grew up, and I don't know how many times he was called "fool" by those brothers and sisters, openly and secretly. It's not that he's not indignant, it's not that he's not sad, but what can he do?
His current IQ is already at the level of a seven or eight-year-old child, and he vaguely knows that he is different from others. Others are okay, but the disappointment and disgust contained in the eyes of the concubine sometimes hurt him the most.
Is it that if he becomes smarter, his mother will be like the mother of his brothers and brothers, and she will care and love him more? This is also one of the important reasons why the fifth prince is obviously afraid of needles, but he still bravely asks Gu Ye to give him acupuncture.
After the acupuncture was completed, Gu Ye rewarded him with a piece of dim sum that he had packed from Qingfeng Building before, and sent the person away: "Okay! Shall we go back to class? Have you learned the 'three-step learning method' that was given to you? ”
The fifth prince touched the back of his head and said, "I'm not very good at ...... But I told Brother Prince, and Brother Prince said that I should go to him after I leave school, and he will teach me slowly! ”
"The three-step method can be difficult at first, but once you master it, you will definitely improve by leaps and bounds in the future. Go for it! Gu Ye made a fighting move at him.
"Come on? Oh, I see! The more oil you add to the dish, the better it tastes, and the more I learn, the smarter I get, right? The fifth prince grinned and smiled silly.
Gu Ye gave him a thumbs up. Don't look at him about the same age as her, he is still a child in heart. Good boys boast! Besides, except for being greedy and lazy, the fifth prince has nothing to do with it, and he is a clean and kind good boy. She's willing to help him!
Alas! When did she become such a virgin? His mother almost killed her and took her back, but she repaid her with virtue, not to mention treating the five princes, but also taking into account his psychological state......
After waking up from a nap, another batch of high-quality medicinal herbs was sent from the courtyard. Don't say it, this concubine's relationship in the palace is quite hard! However, with the degree to which she is favored, those big and small chiefs, eunuchs and so on, really don't dare to snub her.
A concubine who is over thirty years old and has only given birth to a defective son, can get mixed up to this point, which shows her ability and means. Gu Ye pouted - such a person would either stay away, or step her into the mud with one kick, so that she would never be able to turn over!
If Concubine Yin didn't offend her, it would be fine, and the two would be at peace. However, when she was taken away from her husband during the newlywed period, so that she and her husband could not see each other from time to time, and suffered from lovesickness, how could she let Concubine Yin be happy?
Pinching the pill that had just been made, the corners of Gu Ye's mouth hooked up a wicked smile: Good show, it's about to start, please wait and see.
The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited himself to be the envoy of peace and went to the mausoleum city with illness soon spread in the capital. At this time, Lingcheng had been besieged by the army of Yanguo for three days, and the ammunition and food were exhausted, and the destruction of the city was only a matter of one day earlier and one day later.
Lingcheng is only three days away from Jingshi, and the fast horse is only three days away. If the mausoleum is broken, the capital is in danger. When the news came, the court and China were in chaos, and the emperor of the forest country couldn't even take care of the alchemy he was obsessed with, so he was furious above the palace and asked: Who can lead troops to reinforce and live and die with the mausoleum!
Almost all the generals who can fight have been sent out, and even the veterans who are close to old age have also led troops to the battle. It is not that the forest country has no generals who can fight, but the god of war King Ning is famous, and his decisive battles are almost regarded as textbooks, and they have been repeatedly studied by the generals of various countries.
However, no matter how much research is studied, we cannot find the most effective way to deal with it. Sometimes, the comparison on the battlefield is not the number of soldiers, the strength of the army, but psychological warfare. If you are cowardly at the beginning, it is easy to lose judgment on the battlefield and lose everything.
The generals who went out on the expedition were either seriously injured and unable to fight again, or they were captured and waited for Sen Guo to redeem them with a large amount of money and conditions. The Emperor of the Forest Kingdom looked at the officials of His Highness who were avoiding his gaze, and was almost overwhelmed by the breath in his heart.
In the past, the call for peace between the DPRK and China has been rising louder and louder. However, no matter how many officials were sent, they were sent back without seeing them. The Emperor of the Forest Kingdom gasped heavily: "The surname Ling is too deceitful!" Could it be that he would show up only if I went to the frontier in person? ”
The Emperor of the Forest Kingdom must not be able to deign to go! Who has enough weight to negotiate peace has become the center of contention in the court. The crown prince is seriously ill, and many officials have begun to stand in line, and they all nominate their own chosen princes.
If the task of this peace conference is completed and the urgent need of the forest country is solved, not only will its status in the hearts of the people rise, but it will also attract more officials to take refuge in it, and it will have a better chance to stand in that position in the future. The benefits of counting in one fell swoop, several adult princes almost broke their heads.
The victorious prince went to the border with great ambitions. In the end, he still came back in disgrace. Not only did he not see King Ning's face, but he was almost involved in the battlefield. Had it not been for the faithful guards who put him back on horseback, he would have died under the horse's hooves.
The eldest prince, who saw the cruelty of the battlefield, was "sick" after he came back. He cherished his life more than that position. If your life is gone, how can you fight?
The prince went to three times in succession, but they all returned in vain. When the news of the arrival of the Yanguo army in Lingcheng reached the capital, the people in the capital were panicked, and even more so, they had already packed up their belongings and planned to go to relatives in other places.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ignored his newly improved health and asked for his life. The crown prince is second only to the Son of Heaven in a country, and the weight of this peace envoy is enough, right?
Emperor Senguo called several old doctors from the Tai Hospital over and asked the prince's body if he could withstand the long journey of the Yihe group. After the doctors diagnosed and treated, they all said that the prince's condition had eased, and it should be no big deal to pay attention.
Emperor Senguo hesitated for a night, but finally agreed to the prince's request. After all, the crown prince is the best candidate. The prince has been smart and responsible since he was a child, if it weren't for his lack of strength, he would have been able to help share state affairs now, right?
The Emperor of the Forest Kingdom suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion and powerlessness hit him - he was getting old, and whose hands would the responsibility of this country be entrusted to continue the glory of the past? Good generals are hard to find, and qualified heirs are even harder to find!
He summoned the national teacher to the imperial study and asked eagerly, "Is there any news of Princess Ning?" Haven't found out yet? When exactly is it going to be found? Is it that after the death of the forest country, the culprit has not been found out? ”
The national teacher looked at him and said slowly: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient!" After careful analysis: Princess Linlang had just sent back the news that the little doctor was willing to come to Senguo to treat the prince, but he was kidnapped and did not know whether he was alive or dead. Explain that someone doesn't want the prince to get better......"
The Emperor of the Forest Kingdom frowned, his eyes were calm: "What do you mean...... How many of my sons caused this disaster in order to compete for the crown? ”
