However, such an illness was just a piece of cake for Yun Yao, and after a few stitches, Aunt Cousin's complexion improved, and her expression was not as painful as before.

Yun Yao asked Xiaohuan to take a pen and paper and write down the prescription. The medicinal materials she used were not expensive, but cheap and available everywhere, because she knew that Xiaohuan and they couldn't afford so much medical expenses, so she tried her best to replace what she could, and specially wrote a prescription that could cure the disease and not cause trouble to Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan is not a stupid person, she also read and read when she was in Piaoxiang Courtyard, so when she saw Yun Yao's prescription, the medicinal materials on it were all she could afford, and her gratitude to Yun Yao came spontaneously.

"Xiaohuan, your aunt's illness is related to the environment in which she lives, in addition to the previous doctor's inaction. It's a damp place, and the bed is damp, and when your aunt lies on it, the cold will only get into her body, and it won't do her any good. After Yun Yao handed the prescription to Xiaohuan, she said to her, "In my opinion, it is best for you to move and give your aunt a different place to live." ”

"Thank you Miss Yun for your kindness, it's not that we don't want to move, it's just the situation at home, the girl must have seen it, we are really powerless. The cousin spoke, "We are glad that the girl is willing to deign to come to the humble house to treat her mother's illness." ”

"Gongzi Zhang, I see that you talk extraordinarily and behave politely, you don't look like a person trapped in this square inch, why did you fall into such a predicament?" Gu Qingming listened to the words of his lame cousin, frowned slightly, and after glancing at Yun Yao, he asked.

The surname of the lame cousin was found out by Gu Qingming when he investigated Xiaohuan before, and the question Gu Qingming asked at this time was exactly what Yun Yao was puzzled about.

The Zhang Gongzi in front of him, although his clothes are shabby and his legs are lame, his elegant bearing has not been covered up at all, and he is very polite in his speech and demeanor, giving people a feeling that although he is in a cold room, he still does not change his elegance.

"My cousin has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and he is full of wealth, but there are few ways for the children of the Han family to enter the court as officials, and he finally got the recommendation of General Wu on the southwest border, so he became a small county commander in the southwest county, but General Wu died in battle, and the imperial court sent people to weaken General Wu's power, and regarded my cousin as a member of General Wu's party, broke his leg, and drove him out......" Xiaohuan listened to Gu Qingming's question, and hurriedly told Zhang Gongzi's experience.

When Yun Yao heard this, she felt that everything made sense.

The southwestern frontier was already within the territory of Jingguo, and the old headquarters of General Wu Lao was indeed stationed here. In the past, General Wu Lao was killed in battle, and the southwestern border was indeed chaotic for a long time, and the question of the ownership of military power has been unresolved.

It wasn't until later that Gu Qingming brought Wu Qianwen back to the palace that the Empress Dowager Qin relented and assigned the soldiers and horses on the southwest border to the camp of the Gu family's army.

Originally, it was just a battle for military power between the superiors, but I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns, and Xiaohuan's cousin was the victim of this battle.

Yun Yao had heard more than once from Gu Qingming about the old general Wu, this old general was not only brave and good at fighting, but also discerning people, without prejudice, and only useful. Zhang Gongzi was recommended by General Wu and became a county magistrate, which shows that this Zhang Gongzi does have some talents.

has fallen to the point where it is now, and it is impossible to tell who is right and who is wrong, because this is the inevitable struggle for the rights of the superiors, but Zhang Gongzi has become a victim.

"It turned out to be the old acquaintance of General Wu. When Gu Qingming heard this, he was quite emotional, "I have always respected General Wu's personality, and I also believe that General Wu's vision of knowing people, since Zhang Gongzi has the talent to govern the country, he should not be buried." ”

"This boy laughed, I'm just a waste now, it doesn't matter to me whether I'm buried or not. The only hope I have now is that my mother's illness will get better soon. Zhang Gongzi spoke, his tone full of helplessness.

Yun Yao and Gu Qingming glanced at each other, and the two saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

After the pulse diagnosis, Yun Yao and the others did not stay here for long, but left a sum of silver and handed it to Xiaohuan, asking her to buy medicine for her cousin, and then the two left.

Xiaohuan didn't want to accept Yun Yao's gift, but Yun Yao insisted, and her cousin did need the money for treatment, so Xiaohuan didn't refuse, but accepted the money, and then kept Yun Yao's kindness in mind.

After leaving Xiaohuan's house, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming walked towards the side by side palace.

"What are you thinking?" Yun Yao turned her head, looked at Gu Qingming's somewhat silent expression, and asked.

"I'm thinking, if the alliance with Jingguo can be successful this time, can I ask His Royal Highness King Jing to give that Zhang Gongzi an official and a half-position, Zhang Gongzi has talent and learning, and he has fallen into such a situation, but his ambition has not changed, which is indeed commendable. Gu Qingming said.

"I thought so too. Yun Yao smiled, "I originally wanted to give them some more money so that they could buy a better house in the city, so that Xiaohuan's cousin could recuperate with peace of mind." But Xiaohuan has already accepted the money for the medicine, and with Zhang Gongzi's temperament, he will definitely not accept any more gifts. If His Royal Highness King Jing can give him an official position, then he can take his mother and Xiaohuan to live in the mansion, so that Xiaohuan does not have to work as an errand in Qingyinfang, and his cousin and aunt can also have a clean and comfortable place to recuperate. ”

"You've got it all figured out. Gu Qingming smiled, didn't say anything more, and pulled Yun Yao back to the side by side palace.

When they went back, Meng Yijie and Sisi had already returned, and brought back good news that King Jing was willing to discuss the alliance with Lu Yingquan, and asked them to enter the palace tomorrow to discuss in detail.

This is undoubtedly great news for Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan. After all, Jingguo was not within their alliance goal at the beginning, and if there was no matter of the slightest kidnapping, then they should be on the way to Jade Country at this time, instead of delaying Jingguo for so long.

Soon, Yun Yao and Gu Qingming got busy, and the alliance contract was drafted over and over again, while ensuring the interests of Yiguo, they couldn't make King Jing feel too pitiful, so they could only rack their brains to work the contract.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Meng Yijie, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao and a group of five people headed towards the palace of Jingguo.

King Jing was already waiting in Jingyang Palace, and the guards at the gate of Jingyang Palace had already been withdrawn, except for the eunuch who was waiting for King Jing Shen Xun, no one knew what King Jing was going to do.

Sitting on the chair at the top, King Jing Shen Xun saw a group of people coming towards Jingyang Palace from a distance.

One of them is Meng Yijie, the king of the side, and a woman is the silk she saw yesterday, among the other four people, there is a woman who is unparalleled in beauty but pregnant, there is a girl whose appearance is not good, low-key and introverted, so that people can't feel her existence, and the other two men, one seems to be gentle and elegant but has a brilliant temperament, and the other is expressionless but not to be underestimated.

"Your Highness, Queen Yi and General Gu have been invited into the palace. Meng Yijie walked in front of King Jing Shen Xun and bowed down and said.

"Good work. Shen Xun got up, walked down from above, and personally helped Meng Yijie up, and didn't seem to have any guilt in his heart because of Meng Yijie's previous betrayal.

It was only now that Yun Yao really believed that there was really something between King Jing and Meng Yijie.

But so what? For the sake of Meng Yijie, King Jing did not have a concubine in the harem, no matter how much the courtiers spoke, King Jing was still unmoved. Although Meng Yijie was once subject to Su Dieyi and provided a lot of news about Jingguo, Yun Yao believed that those news were harmless, otherwise Empress Dowager Qin would not have attacked King Jing for so long.

Even if the identity and gender of the two of them determine that the road they have to take is more difficult than ordinary people, at least their hearts are still firm and unwavering.

"Brother King Jing, I took the liberty to come this time, and I also ask Brother King Jing not to be surprised. Lu Yingquan stepped forward and greeted Shen Xun.

When King Jing saw Lu Yingquan, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, only such a stunning woman could be worthy of his Seventh Emperor Brother Shen Che, who was Wen Taowu and strategic.

"Brother and sister don't need to be polite. Your intentions, Yijie has already made it clear to me, now that the war between Ninggong and Yiguo has begun, the other six countries have their own plans, but I have long thought about forming an alliance with Yiguo. What Empress Dowager Qin has done over the years is already too outrageous, not to mention, she also let Su Dieyi use Yijie, which I can't bear. King Jing said, "Please rest assured, brother and sister, I agree to form an alliance." ”

"Brother King Jing is really fast-talking, so I can rest assured. Lu Yingquan nodded, took out the covenant in his sleeve, and handed it to King Jing.

I don't know if King Jing really thinks about the Shen royal family, or because the Empress Dowager Qin used Meng Yijie, he really didn't hesitate to put the national seal representing Jing Guo on the covenant.

At this point, Yiguo's second alliance was born, and King Jing had already agreed, and three days after the alliance, he would let Meng Yijie lead the troops to support Yiguo.

Gu Qingming interceded for Xiaohuan's cousin Zhang Gongzi, and King Jing heard that Zhang Gongzi was recommended by General Wu before, so he didn't ask anything, and directly issued an order, sealing that Zhang Gongzi as a four-grade talisman order, so that Zhang Gongzi's talent could be used.

From beginning to end, Yun Yao didn't say anything in front of King Jing, and King Jing didn't seem to ask about her.

Yun Yao knew that it was likely that Meng Yijie did not mention it in front of King Jing, and Yun Yao was very grateful for such a result. She doesn't like to be public, she doesn't care if King Jing knows her.

That night, King Jing hosted a banquet for Lu Yingquan and Gu Qingming in the palace, accompanied by Yun Yao, Sisi, Gu Chen and Meng Yi's masterpieces, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves during the banquet.

After saving people and forming an alliance, after finishing the matter of Jingguo, Lu Yingquan said goodbye to King Jing and embarked on the road to Jade Kingdom.

Meng Yijie had just recognized his sister, and originally wanted to leave Sisi in Jingguo to take care of her, but Sisi was used to following Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao, so she rejected her brother's kindness, packed up, and left the brother she had just recognized.

Maybe in Sisi's heart, she hasn't had time to digest the fact that she has an extra brother, maybe she has her own pursuits and ideas, but no matter what, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan respect her choice.
