Shen Qingyang rushed back to the palace when it was dark, he didn't go to see Mei Xue, but went directly to Du Zhe's courtyard.

Du Zhe was half-lying on the bed and looked at Shen Qingyang with a cold face, but this time, he was no longer as scared as before, but said to Shen Qingyang very calmly:

"Big brother, I want to go to the barracks, you can take me with you!"

Shen Qingyang's fist behind his back gradually loosened, and after gritting his teeth, he said to Du Zhe:

"If only you understood, I don't have to say anything about you.

Miss Mei said that you still have to take care of your body for a few days, and I must go back to the barracks now, and I will send someone back to pick you up in a few days. ”

Du Zhe nodded, and didn't say a single superfluous word.

The next day, the county lord of Changle and Jiu'er were changing Mei Xue's dressing, Jiu'er was so distressed that tears rippled, Mei Xue smiled and comforted her:

"I'm glad the bones are okay, and when the frozen skin comes off, I'll be the same as before."

The county lord of Changle snorted, and while softly applying medicine to Mei Xue, he said hatefully:

"It's all Du Zhe's bastard thing, if you leave a little scar or something, I have to beat him to death!"

Mei Xue was amused, but as soon as she tried hard, her face hurt badly, so she opened her mouth as little as possible and said:

"After this incident, the second son will definitely learn a lesson, and I don't think he will be willful in the future.

County Lord, Jiu'er, remember, if the second son can go out to see me, you must not throw a face at him. ”

Jiu'er bit her lip and nodded, but the county lord of Changle raised his head and glared at Mei Xue and said:

"Look at what you have become, still thinking about Du Zhe, you are really a fool."

Mei Xue just laughed and asked Jiu'er to bring in the pen and ink.

The county lord of Changle sat down at the table, looked at Mei Xue reluctantly and said:

"I'm sick, and I'm worried about that guy's body, you really owe him in your last life."

Mei Xue did not refute the words of the county lord of Changle, but only slowly read the prescription and asked her to write it down.

After the county lord of Changle finished writing the prescription, he walked to the bedside and held it up to Mei Xue to show her.

Mei Xue looked at it carefully twice, and after confirming that it was correct, she said to Jiu'er:

"You send this prescription to the second son, remember to tell him to take a medicinal bath for at least one hour every day, and you must completely force out the cold in your body."

Jiu'er answered and took the prescription and left, and the county lord of Changle poured a glass of water and brought it to Mei Xue's mouth to feed her half a cup, and then sat down on the edge of the bed and said:

"Du Zhe, if he still has a little conscience, he should be more sensible in the future."

Mei Xue nodded, leaned back on the soft pillow and said:

"I'm sure he's going to change, we have to have faith in him, give him some more time!"

The county lord of Changle turned his face to look at Mei Xue, and said for a long time:

"The prince is old, and Du Zhe will have to carry this stall in the north sooner or later, I'm really a little worried about him. Those generals in the army, with the old prince here, naturally dare not do anything, but if the old prince leaves one day, Du Zhe may not be able to suppress them. ”

Mei Xue nodded, sighed softly and said:

"I think this is also what Lord Shen is most worried about, so he will plan for the second son in the army day and night."

After speaking, Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle were silent.

They knew how difficult it was, but they couldn't help much.

It's almost the end of the year, and although the weather is terriblely cold, Yanzhou City is still much more lively than usual.

Shen Qingyang arranged for someone to come back to pick up Du Zhe, and told Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle that he would definitely stay in the camp in the next few days.

The more times like this, the more important it is to prevent being attacked.

Du Zhe came to the guest house to say goodbye to Mei Xue, and the county lord of Changle and Jiu'er avoided it.

Mei Xue's hands were still wrapped in white cotton cloth, and her face was black and white because of peeling. She smiled and pointed to the round chair in front of the window and motioned for Du Zhe to sit, but Du Zhe ignored it, walked directly to the side of the bed and knelt down and said:

"Sister, I know what you and Grandpa, and Brother Shen are looking forward to the most, I will work hard, you just have to rest assured."

Before he finished speaking, Du Zhe already had red circles in his eyes, and without waiting for Mei Xue to speak, he got up and walked out.

Mei Xue hurriedly stopped him and admonished:

"You are still young, your bones are still growing, and you must take care of your body in the barracks in the future.

In addition, you should try to stick to the medicinal bath to ward off the cold for a while longer, so as not to leave the cold in the body. ”

Mei Xue was still babbling, telling Du Zhe to eat and dress well, and never lose his body.

Du Zhe kept his back to Mei Xue and didn't dare to turn around, for fear that Mei Xue would hear his unbearable choking, Du Zhe still didn't wait for Mei Xue to finish speaking and strode out.

Grandpa and Brother Shen were right, Mei Xue just treated him as a younger brother.

Others said that he should fight for his anger and should work hard for the Yan Wangfu.

But Mei Xue only cares about his body and whether he can live a better life.

After Shen Qingyang and Du Zhe left, in addition to the guards and servants in the palace, only the old prince and Mei Xue, the county lord of Changle and Jiu'er remained.

And because the eldest lady Zhu died not long ago, the palace was very lonely this New Year, until the night of the Lantern Festival, the Huns' cavalry crossed Yinshan.

The battle finally fought, and in the courtyard of the old prince, people came and went every day. Several of the staff members of the palace lived directly in the main courtyard.

Fortunately, the old prince's health has improved a lot, although he can't go out on horseback, he has been able to discuss the war with his subordinates and staff for a long time.

The county lord of Changle was so worried that his face turned haggard, and Mei Xue comforted her and said:

"Shen Da had defeated the Xiongnu many times a few years ago, and he had been preparing for the past two months. And there is also the old prince in the rear to provide protection, I believe that he and the second son will be able to win this time. ”

Sure enough, only more than half a month later, good news came from the front line: Shen Qingyang and Du Zhe led their troops to set up an ambush, defeated the main force of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, and pursued the victory, completely controlled the northern part of Yinshan, and drove the remnants of the Xiongnu into the desert.

The old prince laughed happily and said to all the staff:

"A few years ago, Qing Yang told me that it was necessary to completely control the entire Yinshan region and drive the Xiongnu into the desert in order to achieve long-term peace and stability.

In this way, he has been working hard for this goal these days, and he has succeeded.

Qingyang Zhen is the blessed general of this king, and he is also the hero of my Great Jin. ”

The good news was sent to the capital by a fast horse, and with it, there was also an excerpt of the old prince asking for merit for Shen Qingyang and all the soldiers.

When the county lord of Changle heard the good news, he instantly cried with joy.

Mei Xue's hands and feet have been dismantled from the cotton cloth, and she only needs to rub the ointment several times a day.

Seeing that the county lord of Changle was happy, Mei Xue gently touched her wrist and said:

"It's much safer outside now, you might as well go to the camp to see Lord Shen, and then take a look at the second son for the prince."

When these words were said in the heart of the county lord of Changle, she was a little shy, but she still couldn't help but go to the main courtyard to find Old Prince Yan.

The old prince immediately agreed, and arranged for many guards to accompany him for protection.

Jiu'er stayed by Mei Xue's side, but her eyes kept secretly looking out, so Mei Xue smiled and said to her:

"I'm fine, and I have grandmothers waiting for me. You go with the county lord, so that you can see the military might of my Great Jin. ”

Jiu'er shook her head hurriedly, but smiled embarrassedly.

Mei Xue pushed her with her wrist, urging her to hurry up to find the county lord of Changle, and told her to remind the county lord of Changle to change into men's clothes before going out.

In the evening of the next day, the county lord of Changle returned to the palace with Jiu'er.

Jiu'er couldn't hide her excitement and said to Mei Xue:

"Girl, Lord Shen is so majestic, and the second son is like a different person, talking and laughing with us.

By the way, the second son also said that he will be back in a few days, so let's not go back to the capital before he comes back. ”

Mei Xue nodded, and the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Du Zheken said this frankly to Jiu'er, which is enough to prove that he has crossed the hurdle in his heart.

After life and death, it is indeed a way to make people grow quickly.

Moreover, Mei Xue also believed that Shen Qingyang must have given Du Zhe a lot of help.
