Chapter 16: The eldest son

Fei Ying was well aware of Xie Xun's temperament, and he had already had murderous intentions. But to kill Prince Sang Nan, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and Sang Nan directly declared war.

Xie Xun looked up at the starry sky. The stars were brilliant, and the moonlight fell gently on his eyes. Xie Xun said, "The Sangnan royal family is kind to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. They kept their promises and never violated our borders. They also prepared military supplies for Ningzhou."

, this kindness is remembered by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. But kindness is kindness and hatred is hatred. The kindness of the Sangnan royal family cannot equal the hatred of Han Ziqi. One day, I will kill him, but now is not the most appropriate time.

.”

"I understand, I will release them back to Sangnan in two days." Fei Ying also followed him to enjoy the stars, "I hope this batch of food and grass will arrive in Ningzhou as soon as possible, and the Marquis can pacify the Northern Barbarians before spring."

"Late autumn is coming to an end, and winter is approaching. The Northern Barbarians have a vast but barren territory. Even the cattle and sheep have to starve to death, not to mention the humans. They are more anxious than us." Xie Xun clapped his horse and galloped forward, full of enthusiasm, "Come on.

The one who will pacify the northern barbarians and conquer the south of the Yangtze River will definitely be my iron cavalry who will conquer the north."

When Fengyu returned to Meiyuan, Chunlu didn't ask anything and burned charcoal to keep warm. Fengyu was very cold, so she took off her clothes and soaked herself in the hot spring pool.

Chunlu quickly went to cook ginger. Fengfu ate and drank in the big kitchen. Probably because of Fengyu's poor health, Fengshu built a small kitchen for her. It was more convenient for her to cook late night snacks and medicine. Fengyu

I have a terrible appetite, so the small kitchen is always stocked with snacks that are easy to digest.

Qiuxiang poured hot water into the hand warmer bag and put it under the quilt. Fengyu soaked in the orchid soup in the bath and finally warmed up. Qiuxiang picked up the clothes she took off and frowned slightly when she saw the bloodstained skirt.

The clothes can only be washed by her, no one else can touch them.

"Girl, it's cold in the night and you can't soak in the water for too long."

After Fengyu warmed up, she huddled in the warm bed. Chunlu brought a bowl of thick ginger soup with brown sugar. Fengyu pinched her nose and took a breath, her body warmed up. Qiuxiang said, "Girl, you too

If you are tired, just rest, I will sleep on the warm couch, and you can call me if you need anything."

"Go and rest."

Qiu Xiang blew out the lamp, and Feng Yu felt no sleepiness, stroking her bracelet as a habit. When will her soul be healed? Master Miaozhen traveled around the world, can he find a solution? If not, she and Xie Xun

Do you have to be entangled like this for the rest of your life?

Fengyu soon developed a fever. Qiuxiang heard the cough and came over to check her temperature. Sure enough, she had a fever. After she blew out the lamp, she asked Chunlu to lead several girls to take turns keeping watch and prepare medicine.

The plum garden quickly became busy due to the master's fever.

In the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Xie Xun also stayed up all night. The effect of the medicine had expired. His left leg was soaked in the hot black potion and it hurt terribly. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. Zhang Ling was applying acupuncture on his knee with a solemn expression.

Xun's leg was not simply broken. The plaster used by the military doctor after the broken leg contained strong toxins, like gangrene attached to the bone. The Imperial Hospital studied for two years and hired famous doctors in the government, but they still could not come up with an antidote. They could only give injections and bubbles.

Medicine can suppress the toxicity and acupuncture can reduce Xie Xun's pain. Each acupuncture can control the pain for more than half a month.

But in late autumn and mid-winter, attacks occur frequently, and the attacks feel like bone scraping pain.

"Acupuncture and medicinal baths are not a long-term solution. We still need to find a way to detoxify. You can't rest, and your condition has worsened." Zhang Lingzheng took the last injection and added a few more herbs to the medicine bucket.

Xie Xun's face was calm, "How much longer can we delay?"

"Two years." Zhang Lingzheng said, "If we can't find the antidote, I may have to break my legs to survive."

There was a sound of needle dropping in the room, and Xie Xun's blood gradually turned cold, but he calmly accepted the bad news, "When the emperor asks about the pulse, you should tell the truth."

"clear!"

Zhang Lingzheng admired Xie Xun's endurance very much. When the poison struck, it was heartbreaking and bone-breaking, but Xie Xun never cried out in pain and always endured it. The convulsions two years ago ruined his future, and he seemed to accept it calmly.

.

He a little missed the high-spirited young marquis, riding a horse and leaning on the leaning bridge, with red sleeves and red sleeves all over the house.

Xie Xun soaked for a quarter of an hour, and Zhang Lingzheng removed the needle. There was a black patch under his knees. He used a special syringe to pierce the black spot and draw out the poisonous blood. The poison was very strange. Fortunately, Xie Xun returned to Beijing in time, and Zhang Lingzheng was able to

The toxin was controlled without spreading. If it had been a few days later, his entire leg would have been disabled and he would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

After the poisonous blood was drawn out, the pain was relieved. Xie Xun stood up with his clothes on, "How is the situation in the East Palace?"

After Zhang Lingzheng collected the poisonous blood, "The Crown Princess's fetus is stable... It should be a boy."

"confirmed?"

Zhang Lingzheng nodded. The prince got married two years ago. He had no concubines or heirs before the marriage. The prince's concubine, Lin Yushu, was the legitimate eldest daughter of the East Palace. Lin Yushu was the legitimate daughter of Lin Pavilion's eldest son and Xie Xun's cousin. The Marquis of Zhenbei

The government and military power were in control, and Lin Ge's hometown was an imperial family. Marriages continued, which could only lead to divisions. The emperor married Lin Yushu to the East Palace in order to win over the Lin family.

If Concubine Xie has a biological son, and the East Palace also has a legitimate eldest son, who will be protected by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Lin family will be a battle without gunpowder, and Emperor Jianming is quite good at creating checks and balances.

Ningzhou has always needed people and food. In the ten years since Emperor Jianming came to the throne, all resources have been given priority to Ningzhou, not only because the Northern Barbarians are difficult to defeat, but also because of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

This is the first time this year that the problem of adulterated military rations has arisen. Even though it is a small military ration problem, the meaning behind it is heavy. The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion's control over the royal family is gradually weakening. This time, Xie Xun also had a conflict with the third prince.

This was done intentionally to test Emperor Jianming's attitude. Even if there was no accidental cross-talk, he would be seriously injured.

Emperor Jianming still showed weakness openly, but the situation in the DPRK and China was different. A few years ago, who would have dared to adulterate the military rations sent to Ningzhou.

Xie Xun walked to the shelf on the window sill and washed his hands. He had a pair of beautiful hands, with long slender fingers immersed in the water, and jade fingers like bone fans. Zhang Ling was packing up the medical box, and the autumn wind blew up the lanterns in the corridor, and the swaying light filtered through.

The window fell on the side of his face.

"Take good care of this baby."

"yes!"

Zhang Lingzheng left the room with the medicine box. Xie Xun wiped his hands and opened the window. The sky was still dark without a trace of dawn.

Feng Yu recovered from her illness three days later.

Rumors have been spreading in Beijing recently. It is said that Liu An, the new top scholar, and Cai Zelin, the second top scholar, have both entered the Hanlin Academy. The emperor favored him and appointed Tanhualang, who was arranged by the cabinet to serve as a county magistrate in Xizhou.

Ningzhou is on the border, and most of the people make a living from animal husbandry. It has a vast territory. Xizhou is mostly mountains and forests. It is vast and sparsely populated. The land is not suitable for planting. There are many mountain bandits and bandits. It is the place where officials in the middle of the capital are exiled.

This year, due to war and weather, the autumn season was postponed by two months. In the past few days, there has been a quarrel over military rations. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War have blamed each other. Officials' performance reports, assessments and dispatches have all been delayed.

After Feng Yu recovered from her illness, she went to Linlang Pavilion and heard rumors that people in the capital were spreading rumors that Zhenbeihou Mansion was the real emperor of the Yanyang Dynasty, and that the young Marquis had exiled Tanhualang to a wild land with just one sentence.
