Chapter 273: Stay in Xishan Courtyard and Wait
No, she must hurry to the border now, if Li Baoping is left with a lifelong disability or something because she is not there, she will not forgive herself for anything.
After hurriedly receiving the letter, she immediately drove to the palace and asked to meet the emperor.
When she came to see her at this time, the emperor thought that there was something wrong with the Xishan Courtyard, so he immediately asked people to bring her in.
"Haven't those ministers been recovering well, and I've heard that many have returned home."
"There is no problem with Xishan Annex, and those patients will get better soon, but I can't wait for the emperor!"
"Why can't you wait, what's going on?"
Wang Xiao didn't dare to say that Wang Daoren sent her a letter in private, so she only said: "I had a dream yesterday, and I dreamed that the situation on my father's side is very bad, and the soldiers at the border are in need of doctors, and I want to go to the border!" ”
When the emperor heard what she said about this, he couldn't help but cold his face: "Nonsense, how can you go to a place like the border that you can go to, stay in the Xishan Courtyard and wait for your father to come back!" ”
Wang Daoren is fighting for him at the border and working for him, if Wang Xiao goes to find him at this time, if there is an accident on the way, he can't explain to Wang Daoren.
"But I heard that their battle was very tragic, and Li Baoping was also injured!"
"Who? Who is Li Baoping? ”
"Your Majesty, you don't remember the title of the champion?"
"Oh, it turned out to be that kid, he also followed General Wang to the battlefield? Who did you hear about him being wounded? ”
"I privately inquired about the people who came back from the border to report the news, and I asked the emperor not to blame, the battlefield is full of my relatives, and I can't help but worry about them!"
"It's excusable, for the sake of your merits in treating the poison of poppies this time, I don't care about you!"
Wang Xiao looked at the emperor with a look of hope: "Then I, can I go?" ”
"No, stay in the Xishan Courtyard and wait for them to come back, and if you dare to go secretly, then I will not only ask you for sinning, but also for your father, and the entire Lan Village will not be able to escape!"
Lan Village was under her name when Wang Xiao was named the county lord, and it was also regarded as her own land, and the people there were also considered to be protected by themselves, and now because of this matter, the emperor has bet on the lives of so many people, that is, Wang Xiao will not joke with the lives of these people.
Sure enough, Wang Xiao's eyes darkened, and he reluctantly went back.
But there is no way to do this, she organized a pharmacy in Beijing, rich households, donate silver, donate medicinal materials, must not let the border soldiers in the shortage of materials.
These were originally the affairs of the imperial court, but now most of the ministers of the court are sick, and the emperor is very busy, and no one cares about these things at all.
It's easier said than done.
Although she is the county lord and a princess, except for the Liu family in Shangjing, no one buys her account at all.
Originally, she posted to many people, inviting them to come to Xishan Courtyard and engage in a small charity sale or something.
The goods sold for charity were given by the ministers who treated the sick here, and the money obtained from the charity sale was used to buy cotton clothes and medicinal materials and send them to the border.
These ministers have been cured one by one by Wang Xiao here, and they are naturally a little good thing after being an official for so many years, so there is naturally no problem with donating one or two things casually.
It's the Liu family, because they are imperial businessmen, rich, and they have a lot of good things at home, and now they have all moved out for this matter.
But no one responded to Wang Xiao's proposal at all, and now it was noon, there was still no movement at the door, and no one came at all.
Wang Xiao was very frustrated, and looked at Liu Zhiheng with a puzzled expression: "The people of Nanyang are coming over, aren't they in a hurry at all?" ”
"It is always the common people who suffer the most in the war, and if there is a way, if the situation is not right, they will run away, so they will not be in a hurry!"
Wang Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the things behind him: "Then what now?" ”
"Why don't you sell them all to me, what do you want to prepare, I'll pay for it, you give me these things!"
"How can you do that, how can you buy your own things at your own expense!"
"It's all for the soldiers on the border, I'm also a citizen of Jibei Kingdom, what's the point of giving out some silver, the soldiers are working hard!"
Speaking of desperateness, Wang Xiao thought of the injured Li Baoping again, and his face immediately darkened: "I want to go secretly, but I'm worried that the emperor will really attack Lan Village!" ”
He approached her and whispered: "Since the emperor has already said that he will not let you go, you better not go, our Liu family also has people on the border, I will ask them to inquire more about the situation of the war, and if there is anything, I will come back and tell you immediately, you can rest assured, the news that our people can find out will definitely not be less than the news obtained by the imperial court!" ”
Wang Xiao's eyes lit up: "Really? Brother Baoping's injury ......"
"It's true, but don't worry, it's a small injury, and the military doctor with the army can handle it, and there will be no sequelae!"
With his words, Wang Xiao's heart that had been hanging a little bit fell: "But I heard that the weather over there is cold, many soldiers have no cotton clothes to wear, and they are not flexible at all in the battle, if this is not the case, this battle would have ended long ago, after all, we sent 300,000 troops here, and Nanyang Country only had 200,000 troops." ”
"Have you forgotten that there are elephants in Nanyang?"
Wang Xiao sneered very disdainfully: "What's wrong with elephants, elephants can't eat people, I already told my father before I came back, elephants are afraid of fire, as long as they shoot them with rockets, the phalanx of Nanyang Kingdom will inevitably be chaotic, at this time, it is a good opportunity for us to attack." ”
Liu Zhiheng suddenly realized: "No wonder I heard that your father won several battles as soon as he went, and he used rockets, I still wonder who came up with such a good idea, it turned out to be you!" ”
The two were talking here, and someone ran in outside: "Someone's coming, someone's coming, it's estimated that they are participating in this charity sale!" ”
In Shangjing, and even in the entire Jibei country, they have never heard of any charity sales, and now they are not very accustomed to this new term.
Wang Xiao didn't bother to pursue these, so he just stood up hurriedly: "I'll take a look!" ”
Liu Zhiheng also said: "Together!" ”
When the two of them arrived at the door, they saw a gorgeous carriage parked in the wide square.
But as soon as she looked at the color, she knew that it was the girl's house, she raised her eyebrows, she didn't have any close friends in Shangjing at all, who would come to send charcoal in the snow at this time?
She walked over slowly and stood beside the carriage: "May I ask ......?"
Before she finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a face as bright as the moon, who is it not Zhou Qianqian?
