Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Expedition Is Underway
As soon as Ling Bingche heard that the Imperial Physicians had returned, he immediately rushed to where he went, and he searched through the entire Imperial Physician's Mansion without seeing her, his face was gloomy and angry, and he entered the house angrily, and asked, "Why didn't Princess Ling come back with you!?" β
The imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were so frightened that they knelt without saying a word, but the imperial doctor Zhang immediately knelt down and explained: "Back to the prince, Princess Ling personally called us back in the morning, she won't come back, she has something important to ......do."
After listening to his explanation, Ling Bingche's face improved slightly, he snorted and brushed his sleeves away, seeing that he had just left, the imperial doctors got up and wiped their sweat one by one.
Tingning Palaceββ
When Xiao Li Zi saw King Ling coming back in anger, he didn't dare to come forward to talk, for fear that his head would be separated from his body, as soon as Ling Bingche came back, he pushed the door open with force, and then took a pot of wine and drank it.
The palace maids went in to deliver a few jugs of wine, he was a little drunk, and he couldn't help but get angry when he looked at those palace maids.
"Get out, get out of here!"
Where have the two little palace maids seen such a scene, they were so frightened that they ran out of the door. At this moment, Nangong Yue happened to come back, and saw that the door was full of broken cups, and when she walked in, she smelled a pungent smell of wine, and there was a person lying on the table.
"Wine ...... I'm going to drink...... Someone ...... coming," Ling Bingche kept shouting to drink.
"Husband......" Nangong Yue gently shouted.
He looked up at this time, his eyes were a little blurry and he couldn't see clearly, he stood up in a daze, but the whole person was about to fall, she hurriedly went up to help him, Ling Bingche thought it was the palace maid who helped him, he was a little disgusted and pushed away.
"Don't touch this king...... Get out, this king wants Yue'er to ......"
Nangong Yue was a little helpless and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Husband, don't drink! What are you drunk like, really! β
Nangong Yue said as she put him down on the bed, and after settling down, she asked people to come over and clean up the things in the house, and ordered the small kitchen to prepare a bowl of sobering soup and bring it over.
She picked up the bowl of decanting soup, walked to the other end of the bed and sat next to it, picked up the spoon and blew it gently, and then took the spoon and fed it to his mouth little by little.
Early the next morning, the emperor announced that King Ling had led his troops to the battle. As for Princess Ling, she was meritorious in saving the people, and rewarded a lot of silver taels and sent them to the palace, and also gave her to go back to the palace.
Outside the city gate, he wore a military uniform and was heroic, like a tree with a branch, planted in the water of the Black Mountain, revealing a glass-like light for life, sitting on the sweaty and bloody horse, he looked back at Nangong Yue and shouted: "Obediently wait for the king to come back in the house!" βγ
Watching his back leave the back, she smiled faintly, and Ling Yecheng also came out to see him off.
Nangong Yue's back stood straight, the breeze ruffled her hair, and she prayed in her heart: he must return safely.
Ling Yecheng and Yun Xi also came out to say goodbye, and only then did Nangong Yue find that she had turned around and saluted them.
"Greetings to the Emperor and Queen"
Yun Xi's face was full of arrogance, holding Ling Ye Cheng's arm, he didn't care too much about her, Ling Ye Cheng's tone was flat.
"Get up, Princess Ling is thanks to you these days, otherwise the people outside the palace will not be saved, I see that your body has lost a lot of weight, and I have already asked people to send some things to make up for your body to the house."
Her peach blossom eyes are gentle and lovely, the autumn waves are swaying, and her smile is faint but gives people a comfortable vision.
The carriage was made of sandalwood, and in front of the carriage door was a pair of fine carvings, and when she stopped, the coachman came up respectfully and shouted, "Princess, please be a coquette!" β
The coachman helped her lift her feet and boarded the carriage, and then led the horse away, Ling Yecheng held a string of emerald green jade beads in his hand and watched the carriage go farther and farther.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has learned a lot of cooking skills in the palace, why don't you go to the palace of the concubine to sit for a while?"
Yun Xi looks gentle and lovely, especially a pair of Danfeng eyes, and his voice is charming and sexy when he speaks, Ling Yecheng likes it very much, he gently patted her face dotingly, and said with a lazy smile.
"Xi'er, this palace is only for you to please me!"
Wangfu β
I don't know how long it took, Nangong Yue fell asleep, and when she woke up again, the carriage had stopped outside the house, the coachman shook his sleeves, opened the curtain, helped her get off the horse, and then handed two taels of silver.
As soon as Cui Ping heard that the princess was returning home today, she was waiting at the door early. When she saw the princess coming down, she ran over happily.
"Princess!! You're finally back! I want to die slave! β
I haven't seen this girl for a long time, her face is getting rounder and rounder, and her apricot eyes are bright.
"Are you okay?"
"Princess, everything is fine, since you and the prince are not there, Chu Shizi and Miss Ji often come to help, can the plague settle down?" Cui Ping asked with a concerned face.
"It's all right, fortunately, the treatment is timely, and the outbreak is not very serious, can anyone in the house be infected?" Nangong Yue asked as she walked.
Cui Ping shook her head and said no, walked in, and when she walked in, the housekeeper followed her and stood neatly, and when she saw her back, they all knelt down to worship, and then stood up again.
"Princess, the room has been cleaned up, the meals have been prepared, by the way, Chu Shizi came to the house two days ago and borrowed a hundred taels of silver!"
Hearing this, Nangong Yue paused, there was no silver in his prince's mansion!?
"That...... The old slave only borrowed fifty taels ......" The housekeeper saw that her face was a little ugly, and explained for a long time.
"It's okay, when can he say it's going to be returned?"
"It's... The old slave didn't know, the princess didn't want to blame, the old slave also saw that you and the prince were friendly with him, so he only gave fifty taels ......"
"Okay, this concubine knows, you can step down!" Nangong Yue said calmly.
Nangong Yue turned back to the side and ordered, "Cuiping, you go and get some water."
After the order, he pushed open the door and walked in, the house was clean and tidy, but he was not around, it was a little deserted, and the east window was opened, and the wind with moisture blew in, and it fell on the face to pull out the cold, and it was almost autumn.
She sat on the chair, staring at a pear blossom sticking out of the corner of the window outside the windowsill.
"Princess, here comes the water you wanted."
Cui Ping ran in, with a few pear petals on her head and a small pot of water.
"Put it here." Nangong Yue pointed to the windowsill and said.
Cui Ping didn't know what she was going to do, and she didn't ask, so she quietly put the water there.
Nangong Yue took a look, stood up, picked up a handkerchief and glued some water, went to open the drawer where the dresser put the jewelry, and gently wiped the hairpin he gave that day.
Cui Ping looked at her like this, her face was full of distress, the princess was reluctant to let the princess go, she quietly retreated and closed the door gently.
At this time, Ling Bingche was still on the road, bumpy all the way, looking at the drawings in his hand, it stands to reason that it should be almost there, it has been three days, so he stopped the carriage, he rode a horse all the way, and he was tired from riding the carriage.
"Lord Wang, the letter said that General Chen's tent is set up three kilometers away and is waiting for you to pass."
It was General Zhang, who was the father of the current queen, and it was strange to say that the queen proposed to the emperor's brother that his father should send troops.
"This king knows, rest for a while before getting on the horse."
An hour later, the men got on their horses, walked for a while, and arrived at the camp.
After showing the token, a few of them were greeted inside, and as soon as they walked in, they noticed that the atmosphere was a little wrong, but it was not strange.
The soldiers were listless and worried. Ling Bingche pondered for a moment and simply asked the soldiers who led the way: "This king looks at your sad faces, why is this. β
When the soldier heard this, he paused and sighed.
"The prince doesn't know, the Liao country is really too deceitful, there are several generals in the camp who have been taken hostage, and a few brothers are infected with the plague and are taking medicine, the most important thing at the moment is that the medicine is not enough, the people of the Liao country are really hateful, blocking the intersections, and even the doctors passing by have been arrested..."
