Chapter 022: Caught in the Cold
Han Rui was so frightened that she immediately put down the military report that she could read, "No, no, the sons are just concerned about this war, the importance of Fengshan is known to the sons and daughters, and the father and emperor have said to the sons and daughters that the sons and daughters are just concerned about Fengshan, and the queen mother really misunderstood." ”
The Queen Mother smiled noncommittally, "Your cousin can only be a day's journey away from Fengshan." ”
"Then where is King Qi?"
She couldn't wait to ask, whether Cousin Can could rush over before King Qi arrived at Fengshan, this was the most important thing.
"King Qi is only half a day away from Fengshan. ”
The Queen Mother held her forehead, and the old age in her eyes was exposed in an instant.
Han Rui stepped forward and hugged her, "Don't worry, the queen mother, there is Ling Xin, Fengshan must be fine, Fengshan is safe, the world will be stable, don't you remember, Ling Xin went to the battlefield at the age of fourteen and beheaded the leader of southern Xinjiang under the horse, he has never lost a battle over the years." ”
The Queen Mother raised her head, and hope rose in her eyes again, "You are right, with the Yasukuni Hou, this troubled era should also end, and the world left by your father and emperor will be smoothly passed to your younger brother." ”
She staggered out and went out to announce the courtiers' deliberations.
Han Rui hurriedly returned to Churui Palace, "Qingshan ......"
After shouting several times without response, she remembered that Qingshan had been sent out, and she irritably swept the tea sets on the table to the ground.
Rouge was shocked by this sound, and looked at the mess as she carefully bypassed the broken porcelain, "The princess was relieved just now that the queen mother was relieved, and now she lost her temper again, the Hou Ye is the god of war of Zhao, and the princess doesn't have to worry." ”
Han Rui turned around and hugged Rouge, "You're right, the capital will be stable, and Fengshan will be solid." ”
In the evening, Ling Xin of the General's Mansion received a military report from the spies: "Master Hou, General Chang has won a great victory, and the traitors have lost tens of thousands of people, and they are fleeing to the place where General Ma is ambushed at this moment." ”
"Revisit. ”
As soon as the spies went out, he immediately summoned the secret guard: "Where is Jiang Can?"
"Less than 100 miles, you can reach Fengshan in the early hours of tonight. ”
Ling Xin walked around the sand table a few times, and made a final decision: "Send him a letter, and fight the traitors together before the third watch." ”
"Yes. ”
In the middle of the night, Han Rui suddenly woke up, the rain outside the window hit the roof crackling, like snow particles, she got up and got out of bed, pushed open the window, the cool breeze blew in, she felt much more sober.
Rouge heard the movement and came in and pulled her away, and closed the window again: "The princess doesn't remember the wind chill before, if you are infected with the wind chill at this time, the queen mother will be distracted and worry about you." ”
"When. ”
Rouge lit up several lamps in the dormitory.
"It's been three shifts, is the princess a nightmare?"
Han Rui shook his head, "At this time, King Qi's people have already arrived in Fengshan, I don't know the situation in Fengshan, and the palace is really not able to sleep well." ”
"Princess, you have to believe Master Hou, if you don't sleep tomorrow, you will get up tomorrow and it will be dark and green again, and when you get up, maybe the military report will be delivered." ”
Han Rui was pushed onto the bed and sank into a dream again, in the dream he saw the skyrocketing firelight, and Ling Xin's anxious face under the firelight, she was so frightened that she sat up suddenly.
Rouge stepped forward and took her hand, her fingertips cold.
"Princess, why are your hands so cold. ”
Han Rui wanted to reply, but found that she couldn't make a sound, she tried hard, but she could still see her mouth moving, Rouge quickly discovered her abnormality, and was so frightened that she hurriedly asked the palace people to go to the bed.
The imperial doctor had just finished the consultation, and the queen mother came with the news, she looked haggard, and it can be seen that she didn't sleep well last night.
"Rui'er, how are you?"
Han Rui struggled to speak, but couldn't speak, so she could only glance at Rouge.
Rouge comprehended: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, just now Imperial Doctor Liu has already diagnosed the national pulse of the princess, and the princess is infected with the wind cold, and the wind cold invades the body, so she can't speak for a short time, and she will be able to recover soon." ”
The queen mother's knife-like gaze immediately shifted to Rouge, and Rouge was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The slave and maid are guilty of death, the slave and maid didn't pay attention at night, so that the princess contracted the cold, and the slave and maid went to receive the punishment." ”
Han Rui immediately stretched out her hand to shake the Empress Dowager's arm, and the prayer in her eyes was overflowing.
"That's it, I'll let you go this time. ”
Rouge immediately kowtowed to thank him, raised his head to meet the expectant look of his master, and endured the risk of being scolded by the Queen Mother and spoke again: "The princess wants to know the latest situation in Fengshan. ”
"I haven't sent a military report today, so I don't know about the mourning family, but sometimes no news is the best news. ”
Han Rui immediately pouted, she was really speechless now, a small wind chill actually made her speechless, this situation will last for a few days, although someone is waiting, but in the end it is too inconvenient.
She was so depressed that she wanted to hit her head against the wall.
Thirty miles outside Fengshan City, Jiang Can's army camped on the spot, Ling Xin stood on the city wall with people, the burning clouds on the edge of the sky stained half of the sky red, beautiful as a dream, he looked at it stupidly, let the breeze blow his armor, "Be sure to defeat King Qi and others in one fell swoop tonight." ”
"King Qi claims to have hundreds of thousands of people, but in fact, most of them have never been on the battlefield. ”
The undisguised disdain in Chang Shan's words.
"The last time the abolished prince secretly plotted against the Hou Ye, this time he must be beaten up if he is caught. ”
Ling Xin's cold gaze glanced at him, and he was so frightened that he immediately shut up.
"If you are idle, you can defend Fengshan City. ”
As he walked down the wall, his shiny black horse at the gate snorted at the sight of him.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, patting the horse's huge head and turning over on the horse, Chang Shan looked at him in amazement: "Master Hou, where are you going?"
"Defend the city. ”
He left only four words and rode out of the city, leaving Changshan messy in the wind.
Dong Tingbo Jiang Can was studying the map in the camp tent, there was a violent neighing of horses outside the door, he was about to go out to have a look, someone opened the curtain and came in, dressed in silver and white armor, as if he was the god of war in the sky.
Suddenly saw Ling Xin here, or the living Ling Xin, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, when he was in Xuancheng, he carried out the secret decree of the Queen Mother, and he couldn't hide the secret joy in his heart, but Xuancheng was turned over several times by himself, and there was no shadow of Ling Xin at all, and when he heard the news again, he entered the palace to save the emperor and the Queen Mother, and when he met again at this time, he really had mixed feelings in his heart.
Ling Xin didn't seem to notice his embarrassment at all, strode to the edge of the map and pointed to one of them, "Immediately let everyone eat and eat, and drive King Qi back to his hometown in Shandong in one fell swoop at night." ”
Dong Tingbo approached to see where his finger rested, "Master Hou wants to sneak attack at night?"
Ling Xin turned his head to look at him, this was the first time he looked at Dong Tingbo after entering the camp, as the mother of the Queen Mother, Jiang Can, who was also a relative of the emperor, felt the nobility of the meritorious family for the first time, and he couldn't compare with the kind of temperament that Ling Xin exuded from the inside out.
"Why not?"
