The fact that the third princess was thrown into the cold palace made Tuoba Mingge rush back to the royal city overnight. He didn't know that there was already a plan waiting for him in the royal city, and he would never come back unless he shed his skin after leaving.
Although the person who sent the message did not see his master, he had Tuoba Mingge's instructions, so this matter was naturally the most urgent, so Di Biao took his people to support him personally.
Things are about to change in Xixia.
At this time, Jiang Miao was held in Shen Yanqing's arms. They stood at the window and looked at the scenery outside. Jiang Miao had not slept well in the past few days, her face was pale, and she even had dark circles under her eyes.
Shen Yanqing felt sorry for her and asked the kitchen to stew some nourishing soup every day to replenish her. The eldest princess also sent some precious medicinal materials from time to time, and two people fed her. She had gained weight this winter.
The man's chin was placed on top of her head, and their fingers were intertwined. Shen Yanqing knew what she was worried about. The situation at the border was treacherous and changing. They were far away in the capital and could not monitor it in real time. Fortunately, there were secret guards and the eldest princess accompanying them. They dispatched Jiang Miao to take advantage of her familiarity with the plot and couldn't do much, but at least she could avoid some risks.
"Calculating the time, the letter I sent should arrive by now."
She looked out the window and spoke softly.
This was the first time she wrote to Jiang Zhe. Jiang Miao had no feelings at all for her cheap father, and she even wanted him and the eldest princess to reconcile as soon as possible so that they could live.
But now the border situation is urgent, and no matter how unwilling she is, she has to write a letter to remind her.
"Well, with Uncle Lu and my people deployed in Xixia, we can hold off Tuoba Mingge for a while. Without him at the border, the military camp can also breathe a sigh of relief."
Shen Yanqing never hid the affairs of the border and the court from Jiang Miao. He knew that Miao Ya was not an ordinary young lady. She had courage, strategy, and a bit of luck.
Shen Yanqing sometimes wondered whether Miao Ya had the ability to predict the future and helped him avoid many pitfalls.
Just like the snowstorm at the border, without her support of food, grass and clothing, Dayan would be in danger.
"I know."
She frowned slightly and leaned her head on Shen Yanqing's chest. Her whole body was wilted. She didn't know if it was because of her recent busy schedule. She felt a little lack of energy and even lost her appetite.
Qinglian came in with a cup of shark's fin porridge. This was just sent by the eldest princess. It was very fresh. Shark fins are used for beauty. The eldest princess knew that her daughter loved beauty. She looked haggard these days, so she wanted to give her some nourishment.
"Master, the kitchen has stewed shark's fin porridge. Please drink some while it's hot."
"I'll do it."
Shen Yanqing took the porridge from her hand and wanted to feed Jiang Miao herself.
Qinglian pursed her lips and smiled softly. The adults in her family loved her daughter-in-law the most. The master had no appetite and did not want to eat, but the adults were so anxious that they asked the cook to cook in different ways every day.
"Why."
Qinglian handed over the porridge and quietly left through the door. When she walked to the door, she could still hear Shen Yanqing coaxing Jiang Miao.
"Both mother and I are worried about your health. This shark's fin porridge is delicious. After you finish it, can I take you to the street to play?"
Jiang Miaojiao glared at him angrily and went to play in the street, just to coax a child.
It was so cold outside that she just wanted to stay at home and read her storybook, and didn't want to go out anywhere.
However, Shen Yanqing's face was anxious. He had also been on tenterhooks these days and looked even more haggard than she did. Jiang Miao couldn't bear to torment him and nodded lightly.
"Then I'll eat half and give you the rest."
"good."
Hearing that she was willing to eat, Shen Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief. He took a spoonful and blew it to his mouth, then handed it to Jiang Miao.
The shark's fin was stewed until soft and the gelatin was stewed to become translucent. It was also garnished with wolfberry. It looked very tempting. Shen Yanqing had already handed the spoon to his mouth. Shen Yanqing's eyes were full of expectation. Jiang Miao should have opened her mouth to take it. She felt the fishy smell and retched in her throat.
"Ugh! Take it away!"
"Miaoya..."
Jiang Miao's face turned pale, which startled Shen Yanqing. He hurriedly put the bowl aside, hugged Jiang Miao and stroked her chest.
"What's going on? Are you sick? I'm going to call the doctor!"
Jiang Miao has been in low spirits these days, and Shen Yan wanted to check on her early in the morning.
"No, I'll just take it slow. I guess the wind blew just now..."
She had to take bitter medicine to see the doctor. Jiang Miao felt sore in her stomach just thinking about it, and the retching in her throat was suppressed. She glanced at the shark fin porridge on the table and didn't want to take another bite.
"Ask the kitchen to bring something light. You can eat this porridge."
She didn't want to see the doctor, and Shen Yanqing was worried, but he couldn't bear to force her, so when he went out to give orders to his servants, he asked someone to bring a message to Qiao Songyun, asking him to come to the house to show Miao Ya when he had time.
Her body is the most important thing, nothing should go wrong.
On the border side, Jiang Zhe received a letter from the capital.
When he heard the report from his subordinates, his expression became dull for a moment.
"Who did you say sent it?"
Could it be that he had something wrong with his ears? How could he hear Jiang Miao sending him a message?
The subordinates were frightened by his expression. When Jiang Zhe had a straight face, he was not angry and looked very cold. This subordinate was just promoted and it was his first time to run an errand for his master. His tone was a bit stammering and stumbling.
"Reply to the master, it's...it's from Princess Rongning..."
Isn't Princess Rongning the general's daughter? Why does he have such an expression?
The subordinate was confused, but his doubts were destined to be unanswered. Jiang Zhe took the letter with a somewhat unnatural expression. If someone familiar was here, he would find that his master was stiff at this moment.
"Okay, the letter has been delivered. You can go out."
"yes."
The men breathed a sigh of relief, and when they left the camp, they looked back and saw their ruthless general holding the envelope carefully, as if he was facing something important, with a serious expression on his face.
The relationship between the eldest princess and the consort is unknown to everyone in Dayan. The newly recovered Princess Rongning did not get along well with their general. Even when their general was sent to the border, Princess Rongning had not yet recognized the eldest princess. .
His subordinates guessed that his general had no feelings for this legitimate daughter, but now Jiang Zhe's attitude made him a little uncertain.
Does the general value this daughter very much?
He shook his head, opened the tent door and went out. He had strong limbs and a simple mind, so it was better not to guess his master's thoughts.
In the camp, Jiang Zhe stared at the letter for a long time. His stiff fingers became even stiffer. He was silent for a long time before opening the letter.
Seeing the words above, Jiang Zhe's stern face gradually relaxed, and he squeezed the envelope tighter and tighter with his hands. He read the short letter many times, and his chest felt like boiling magma.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhe spoke loudly to the outside of the camp.
"Let Guo Zhao come to see me!"
Jiang Miao wrote a letter specifically asking him to send Guo Zhao to support the people delivering grain and grass. How could he not comply with his daughter's first request?
