Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 214 Wake up and repent

When Ling Ye walked out of the gate of the post station, the soldiers he ordered to guard in front of the gate had already formed a formation and were confronting a group of cavalrymen who were riding towards him!

The leader was the newly appointed general Kudifulian.

This man was a member of the Xianbei Gaoche tribe. He had followed Erzhu Rong in his early years and later defected to Gao Huan. He was considered a senior official of the State of Qi. Now he was the defender of the Qianqiu Gate in Yenan City. He had about three thousand Xianbei warriors under his command, and was considered one of the most elite military forces of the State of Qi.

Ku Difulian's expression was very serious, and he was as cold as iron, but he was an old minister after all, and he was not as arrogant as Han Changluan.

He just said in a businesslike tone: "Your Majesty's decree, considering that Lanling Wangfei Xiao Jinyu has the talent of a prime minister, you can ignore her status as a woman and still allow her to serve in the court and serve our Qi State!"

"Please ask Xiao Jinyu or Xie Zhen to come out to receive my order and return to Yecheng with me immediately!"

His voice was even louder when he said the last sentence, and it seemed that he had no hostility. Ling Ye hesitated for a moment and thought to himself: Should I ask the girl's opinion on this matter?

Just at this moment, another sound of horse hooves was heard. Ling Ye looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of Baibao Xianbei soldiers rushing towards them with the force of thunder. The momentum was like that of thousands of troops and quickly attracted Kudifulian's attention!

In a flash, the cavalry arrived, led by a Xianbei boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with an extremely handsome appearance.

The young man thrust out his spear like lightning, forcing Kudifulian to retreat a few steps. At his shout, five hundred cavalrymen surrounded them with extraordinary momentum!

"Leave? Or die?" The young man asked in a cold voice with sharp eyes.

"who are you?"

"Murong Jue!"

Descendants of Murong?

Ku Di Fulian thought for a moment and said, "I came here on the orders of Your Majesty. I just want to thank the Right Prime Minister for returning to the court to serve as an official. I have no ill intentions!"

"But do you believe this? Your Majesty tricked my brother Qing back. Did he want her to return to the court, or did he want to take her for himself?"

"She doesn't want to, so why are you forcing her?"

"I am also here under the order of Grand Commander Duan to protect Prince Lanling and Princess Lanling!"

"General Duan has another letter for me to give to His Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

After Phoenix finished speaking, he ejected a letter from his hand. When Ku Difulian received the letter with his palm, he actually felt a little pain from the shock of the remaining force.

"I have delivered the letter from Grand Commander Duan. Please leave immediately! Otherwise, we will fight to the end!"

Although the boy was still young, he already had an extraordinary aura. Ku Difulian's eyes flickered. He glanced at the hundreds of Xianbei soldiers who were coming around him and thought to himself: If we engage in a battle, both sides will suffer losses, and the ones who will be lost will also be the elite troops of our Qi State. It is better to take the letter back to see His Majesty first!

"Okay! Little brother, please tell Princess Lanling what I said. Your Majesty appreciates her talent and cannot bear to see her go to the frontier. Please ask her to come back?"

After saying that, he looked at the sergeant behind him and said, "Let's go!"

A line of guards retreated like a tide, and finally only five hundred knights were left, forming a formation and surrounding the post station.

Fenghuang jumped off the horse and rushed into the post station. When she saw Ling Ye, she asked, "Where is my brother Qing? Where is she now? Is she okay?"

Ling Ye brought him to the room where Xiao Jinyu was sleeping. Fenghuang could see through the crack in the door that Xiao Xian and Xie Yuxuan were feeding Xiao Jinyu medicine, and Xiao Jinyu was obviously still in a coma with a pale face.

She could only drink a small half of the medicine Xie Yuxuan fed her, and most of it spilled outside.

Ling Ye said, "His Highness Prince Lanling was attacked. I have not slept for a whole day and night to help him detoxify. Now he is very weak and is resting!"

Fenghuang felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and tears were streaming down her face.

"Am I late? Am I late?"

Ling Ye said: "It's not too late. After all, this happened unexpectedly and no one expected it!"

……

"I never thought the Gao family could be so cold-blooded that they could even poison their own grandson? My sister even lost a child in order to save him!"

Xie Yuxuan was furious and couldn't help but secretly blame others.

Xiao Xian didn't say anything and kept trying to feed Xiao Jinyu the medicine.

Seeing how serious he was, Xie Yuxuan turned and asked, "Mr. Xiao, so you also know medicine?"

Just now she saw Xiao Xian wrote two prescriptions, one was for Lanling King to recuperate, and the other was actually for her elder sister, saying that it was specially for nourishing the body of pregnant women after miscarriage.

Xiao Xian nodded.

"I used to read medical books when I had nothing to do. Ah Yu treated me when I was in Nan Chen, so I learned a little from her, but I only learned the basics!"

"Then aren't you like my elder sister, a person who is well-versed in many arts and extremely intelligent?"

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "I can't say I'm extremely smart! In this world, there are always people and things beyond your imagination. No one can claim to be the best or the strongest person in the world just because of their talent."

Pretty humble...

Seeing his voice as gentle as the spring breeze, Xie Yuxuan couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips slightly, but the moment she thought, a cloud of worry rose in her heart.

"Then my sister's body won't suffer serious damage because of this miscarriage, right?"

"Ah Yu's physique is different from that of ordinary people. This pregnancy was originally unstable, but she wanted to do her best to keep the child. Although the medicine could barely keep the child alive, I'm afraid the child would be weak and sickly after birth. The loss of this child has taken away the toxins accumulated in Ah Yu's body, and it is harmless to her body!"

"That means she won't have to worry about any problems with her child anymore, right?"

Xie Yuxuan asked happily: "She can still get pregnant again, right?"

Xie Yuxuan blushed slightly as she suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate to mention being pregnant in front of a man she had just met.

"If Ah Yu can take good care of her body, avoid the cold, and keep warm, there will be no problem, but they are about to go to a bitter and cold place on the border..."

Xie Yuxuan couldn't help but frown.

"Then give her more clothes to wear and use more charcoal in the house to prevent her from getting cold! Oh, it makes me angry when I mention this. The prince is too reckless. If he is so loyal to the Gao family, several lives will not be enough for him. Does my sister have to sacrifice herself to save him every time?"

Xiao Xianyi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why do you call her Sister?"

Xie Yuxuan was stunned, thought for a moment, and replied:

"Uh... she and I are sworn sisters. Don't be fooled by the fact that I look more mature than her. In fact, I am younger than her. Don't disbelieve it!"

After saying that, she had no confidence at all to face Xiao Xian's questioning gaze, and ran out of the room as if escaping.

……

Princess Liyang took care of Gao Changgong by his bedside for a whole day. After he took several bowls of medicine, she finally saw that his complexion was gradually improving.

It was not until midnight that Gao Changgong gradually woke up.

Seeing the curtain in front of him fluttering and the surrounding environment seeming unfamiliar, Gao Changgong was still a little dazed, not knowing whether he was alive or had arrived in the so-called "underworld"?

Until Lu Yu shouted in surprise: "The prince is awake?"

Princess Liyang suddenly woke up and raised her head!

He met his mother's eyes, which were filled with worry and haggardness.

"I'm alive?"

"Prince, what are you talking about? Of course you are still alive. It was the young lady, oh no, it was the princess who saved you. With her here, you will definitely be fine!"

"Ayu, what about her? How is she now?"

Suddenly he remembered that A Yu seemed to be waiting for him fifty miles outside the Yecheng Post Station, so he quickly got out of bed and went to find her.

Lu Yu hurried over and supported him.

"Prince, the princess said that you need to rest for a few days to recover your strength. Why don't you rest for a while and go to see her tomorrow morning?"

The more Lu Yu said this, the more worried and suspicious Gao Changgong became.

"Did something happen to Ayu?"

At this time, Xie Yuxuan walked in and her eyes lit up when she saw him.

"Prince, you finally woke up! If your Gao family gives you poisoned wine in the future, you won't drink it again, right?"

"My elder sister sacrificed her life to save you this time. If you continue to be like this in the future, I can't guarantee that you will be so lucky to be saved every time..."

"What did you say?"

Gao Changgong's face changed drastically and he ran out the door!

Xie Yuxuan realized that she seemed to have said something wrong and quickly chased after him.

"Prince, that's not what I meant. Wait a minute..."

"Over there, she is over there..."

Under Xie Yuxuan's instructions, Gao Changgong broke open the door of Xiao Jinyu's room and strode in. As expected, he saw Xiao Jinyu lying on the bed with a pale face. He quickly picked up Xiao Jinyu and cried in extreme pain.

Seeing him so sad, Xie Yuxuan felt sorry for him and immediately changed her words, "Prince, my sister is still alive. What I mean is that she was too exhausted from saving you, and your first child...is gone...You can't blame her for this!"

When Gao Changgong heard the word "child", he was very surprised, and then he felt lost, but these emotions only flashed through his heart for a moment, and were eventually replaced by the surprise brought by the four words "she is still alive". However, after the joy of regaining what he had lost, he felt deep self-blame.

Seeing that he was blaming himself, Xiao Xian said, "You can't blame the prince for this. We didn't want this to happen. We can't punish ourselves because of someone else's scheme!"

"By the same token, if you risk your life to prove your innocence because of the king's suspicion, this is not loyalty, but ignorance, because death can't bring back anything valuable, nor can it bring back the king's remorse or mercy!"

“Life may be difficult, but living has the hope of changing everything!”

"This is what I want to say to the prince!"

After saying this, Xiao Xian did not stay in the room, giving them time to be alone and think.

Xie Yuxuan was stunned when she saw him!

Are these words spoken by a person as smooth as jade?

When he is not serious, he seems to be easier to bully than anyone else. But when he is serious, who dares to bully him?

……

When Gao Zhan heard Ku Difulian's report, his eyes widened and he was so angry that he was about to burst into tears!

"Who did you say that boy was? How could he stop you?"

"Your Majesty, it's Murong Jue, the young man who fought alongside Lanling King on the battlefield and made great contributions not long ago. He is the grandson of Murong Shaozong and is said to have the courage and talent of a great general like his grandfather!"

"Murong Jue? I promoted him to General Wuyi not long ago, and now he wants to hinder me! Is he going to rebel like his father?"

"Your Majesty, he said that he was sent by General Duan to deliver a letter to Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Ku Difulian handed the letter to the eunuch, who then handed it to Gao Zhan.

Gao Zhan saw that the letter contained nearly 10,000 words, which detailed the contributions that Lanling Prince had made since he followed Duan Shao in the military campaigns. Even the number of times he had been injured and the number of times he had survived the battlefield were described in great detail. If an ordinary person read it, these words would be enough to bring tears to their eyes.

But Gao Zhan was unmoved. When he read further, he saw that Duan Shao had written about Xie Zhen's contribution in assisting Prince Lanling in the Battle of Mangshan, mentioned the wonders of the medicine made by Prince Lanling's wife, and praised him for his wisdom like Kong Ming, which was rare.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: "These two people, one has the talent of a general, and the other has the talent of a prime minister. They can stabilize the country with their literary skills and stabilize the country with their military skills. I hope Your Majesty will make good use of them and not lose capable ministers and good generals because of their small status!"

Gao Zhan felt very upset after reading this, but Duan Shao represented a large part of the Xianbei forces in Jinyang. Especially since he was the nephew of his mother Lou Zhaojun, who was also a representative of the Xianbei forces, he could not offend him.

But he was already so close to her, and had even held her in his arms, so why was it so difficult to get one step closer?

Gao Zhan felt a conflict in his heart. At this moment, Lou Zhaojun, supported by the eunuchs and Wu Ai, ran over and cried, "What are you still planning? You lied to your mother and asked me to poison my grandson. How can you be so cruel?"

"It's not enough that you killed my grandsons Gao Shaode and Gao Bainian. Now you want to kill Gao Changgong, who poses no threat to you. They are all your nephews, all sincere and posing no threat to your throne. Why can't you let them go?"

"I really regret choosing you to be the emperor..."

Kudifulian was stunned and quickly took a step back, saying, "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!" Then he left the hall!

After Empress Dowager Lou finished scolding, she saw the letter in Gao Zhan's hand floating to the ground and landed right in front of her. The signature on it was Duan Shao again, and it even said "To Your Majesty" or "The Empress Dowager". So she picked up the letter and roughly read the contents. After reading it, she burst into tears!

"My grandson! Grandma is sorry for you! It is grandma who is sorry for you!"
