Chapter 140 Rushing to Lingcheng
"Sister Fu, you stay here and take care of yourself. When the matter in Lingcheng is over, I will come back to take you to Kyoto," Ji Lanchen looked at Xia Furong tenderly, his eyes full of attachment and reluctance. He gently stroked her hand, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
Xia Furong smiled and nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "Brother Chen, don't worry, the children and I will wait for you to come back. The children will be proud if they knew they have such a heroic father." She held Ji Lanchen's hand tightly, giving him endless strength and support.
Chen Jingshan on the side also said: "Sister Fu, my brother and I will go to Lingcheng to help the princess, and let your third brother stay to protect you and the child." His eyes were firm and serious, revealing his concern for his family.
However, Li Musheng suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Brother, second brother, I, Li Musheng, have been a bastard for half my life and have never done anything meaningful. This time, brother, you should stay and take care of Fumei! Second brother and I will go to Lingcheng. Fumei has just given birth and she needs you. The child is also young and needs your company. Let second brother and I go." His voice was low and firm, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination.
Ji Lanchen and Chen Jingshan couldn't help but look at each other. They had never thought that Li Musheng would have such a delicate side. This man who was usually uninhibited and free-spirited, now showed the responsibility and commitment deep in his heart.
Ji Lanchen looked at Li Musheng gratefully and patted him on the shoulder: "Third brother, thank you. But this matter is very serious, we need to discuss it further."
After a heated discussion, it was finally decided that Ji Lanchen would stay to take care of Xia Furong and the children; while Chen Jingshan and Li Musheng would go to Lingcheng together to join the battle and fight the enemy together.
In this difficult time, the three brothers worked together and supported each other. They knew that the road ahead was rough, but for the belief in their hearts, they were willing to pay any price. "
Yun Yuxi gave instructions to Lingyi, who then acted quickly and soon found several leaders of Black Wind Ridge. He explained to them in detail that they would set off for Lingcheng tomorrow morning. He also clarified important matters such as the supplies needed for the trip and personnel arrangements.
"My dear bosses, Lingcheng has suffered a serious disaster now. Not only have the houses been burned down, but even medicinal materials are extremely scarce. Brother Chen Jingshan, the princess has specially given you 100,000 taels of silver notes to buy medicinal materials. Here is also a list of medicinal materials compiled by the princess. Please lead a few trusted subordinates to the nearby towns to collect these herbs as soon as possible and transport them to Lingcheng. Brother Li Musheng, you need to select 30 reliable brothers to follow us to Lingcheng and be responsible for maintaining local order to ensure that the rescue work can be carried out smoothly. Due to the tense situation in Lingcheng and the fierce conflicts between the two sides, I hope you will ask the brothers' wishes after you go back, and do not use coercive measures. Everything should be based on voluntary participation. As for Ji Lanchen, the princess hopes that you can stay in Black Wind Ridge as a solid reserve force for our rear." Lingyi said with a serious and earnest expression.
The three of them nodded and took action.
Lingyi reported everything, Yun Yuxi nodded and said, "You still need to keep busy. Thank you for your hard work. You and Fu Zhenwu should quickly arrange for everyone to pack up, and we will leave at dawn." After Lingyi left, Yun Yuxi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Yan Wuque, who was far away in Kyoto and received the report from the secret guard, could not help but feel deeply worried. He wanted to fly to Black Wind Ridge immediately and guard Yun Yuxi in person. He silently muttered in his heart: "Girl, do you know how worried I am about you at this moment? But I believe you will be able to get out of danger..."
Yan Wuque looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, his eyes revealing endless thoughts and concerns. He seemed to be able to feel Yun Yuxi's breath from the distant sky, and secretly prayed that she was safe.
At this time, Yun Yuxi, who was in Black Wind Ridge, was also missing Yan Wuque. She lay quietly on the bed, recalling every moment she had spent with him, and a ripple appeared in her heart. She whispered softly: "Yan Wuque, I miss you so much... Now that Black Wind Ridge has finally been taken by me, I am afraid that I will face more dangers when I go to Lingcheng. But don't worry, I have my own way to protect myself. You, on the other hand, must take good care of yourself. The ice silkworm has shown signs of waking up. When I come back, I will make sure that you can stand up again and walk freely."
Thinking of this, Yun Yuxi felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable. She gradually realized that Yan Wuque had already occupied her heart without her knowing it and became an important existence in her life. Although the road ahead was difficult, she knew that their feelings for each other would be her motivation to move forward.
At this time, the palace was in turmoil.
"Your Majesty. Concubine Shu is here and she said she is bringing you lotus seed soup that she personally cooked," Eunuch Liu said cautiously.
"No, can't you see I'm busy. Bad news has been coming from Lingcheng these days, and I don't know whether Yun Yuxi has arrived in Lingcheng. The previous dynasty is unstable, and I'm worried. How can I have so much time for love affairs?" Emperor Suwen scolded unhappily.
Eunuch Liu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, then went out to report to Concubine Shu.
"Eunuch Liu, but the emperor has allowed me to go in," asked Concubine Shu with a smile.
Eunuch Liu glanced at Concubine Shu and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Emperor asks you to go back and rest first. His Majesty still has many memorials to approve, and His Majesty is worried about the affairs in Lingcheng. Your Majesty, please be considerate of the Emperor."
Concubine Shu understood, looked at Eunuch Liu with gratitude, and then left with the palace maid. Eunuch Liu breathed a sigh of relief, as he could not afford to offend Concubine Shu at the moment.
Emperor Suwen finally finished his work, looked at the sky and said, "Let's go to the Zhaohe Palace. I'm going to see Qing'er." Eunuch Liu nodded and followed Emperor Suwen to the Zhaohe Palace.
Nan Ruoqing didn't know why she felt a little unwell, but the imperial physician diagnosed that there was nothing wrong. Nan Ruoqing paid great attention to her food and drink, but she never thought that Concubine Shu would send her gifts every now and then, and each time the precious spices had a great impact on her. The naive Nan Ruoqing thought that Concubine Shu's kindness was because she was favored and Concubine Shu wanted to win her over.
"What did you say? The emperor went to Zhaohe Palace," Concubine Shu asked angrily, scaring the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving him to tremble.
At this time, Nan Ruoqing was happily nestling in Emperor Su Wen's arms.
With her own efforts, Yun Yuxi from Black Wind Ridge finally set off for Lingcheng with the imperial physician and people from Black Wind Ridge who volunteered to go to Lingcheng.
