After successfully dealing with Eunuch Xing, Qi Siyuan proposed to the emperor that he would personally lead the troops to the border. Although the emperor was somewhat surprised and reluctant, as an emperor, he naturally considered it more far-reachingly.

Sooner or later, the Yuan Dynasty will be handed over to the hands of Prince Qi Siyuan. At this moment, I can still resist, so it is better to let him go out and try his luck. By the way, he can also accumulate some fame and achievements. When he succeeds to the throne, he will be able to gain the support of the people and civil and military officials more quickly.

Yuxiu's preparation of the medicine also went smoothly. Since the medicine was to be sent to the border, she put as much diluted spiritual spring water as possible into it in order to make it more effective.

Looking at the boxes of prepared pills and powders, and thinking that they would soon be delivered to the soldiers in need, Yuxiu also felt a sense of accomplishment.

The fact that the imperial court is about to send troops to the border is still known to only a small number of relevant personnel, and it has not been widely publicized.

When Yuxiu learned that Prince Qi Siyuan was going to bring people there personally, she asked him to bring some things to the people in Prince Ning's Mansion.

She went to find the old princess and said that someone was delivering something and could help deliver a message to Xu Jinyi and the others.

The old princess wrote a thick letter with excitement, took out some spare clothes and shoes that she had prepared long ago, and packed a package.

These were all made by her own hands for her children and grandchildren after she recovered. Even Yuxiu's family had already received a new set of clothes.

Although they have no shortage of clothes now, every stitch and thread is filled with the love that the old princess, as an elder, has for her children and grandchildren.

In addition to these, Yuxiu also prepared some good things for them.

First of all, spiritual spring water is definitely indispensable, but you can’t give too much of it, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

Yuxiu customized some thumb-sized jade bottles in the system mall and carefully filled them with spiritual spring water. There were a total of twenty small bottles.

"These materials are extremely rare. My mother was able to mix them because she had a few rare medicines left to her by my master. They become less and less each time they are used."

Yuxiu divided the small jade bottle into two, filling ten bottles for Xu Jinyi and ten bottles for Qi Siyuan.

"You must carry it with you. This is something that can save your life at a critical moment. One bottle is enough for one time."

Then there were some detoxifying pills and the Peiyuan pills that Cui had prepared before, which were packed into several bottles. A piece of paper was written on each one to make it easier for them to use.

So when Yuxiu left, two bags, one big and one small, were left in Qi Siyuan's room.

The big one was prepared by the old princess, and Yuxiu’s medicine bottle was put into a cloth bag and stuffed inside it.

The small ones contain the medicine bottles that Yuxiu mentioned before, which are left for Qi Siyuan.

You can't just ask people to bring things and only prepare some for the people in Prince Ning's Mansion, but not for Qi Siyuan. That doesn't make sense.

Because the matter was urgent, Qi Siyuan took his men to the border the day after he got these things. Before leaving, he asked someone to come to Yuxiu's house to take away a batch of prepared medicines and settle the silver and money.

As for those that are not finished, someone will come and take them away, and then send them over with other supplies.

The people in the capital city were unaware of such a major event and were still busy preparing for the New Year.

"Alas, I don't know if Brother Yan has encountered any trouble. How come he said he would come, but several days have passed and there is no sign of him..."

Ever since they parted ways with Yan Laosan that day, the two agreed to meet again at Caishikou the next day.

Xu Qinghe said that he would bring him an antidote pill made by Cui, which is a good thing that can cure all kinds of poisons. Yan Laosan also said that he would give Xu Qinghe a medical book that was treasured in his family's collection. Anyway, he couldn't understand it himself, so he might as well give it away. Maybe Cui could find it of some use.

But as the last day's activities were almost over and everyone was beginning to dismantle the wooden shed, Yan Laosan still hadn't shown up.

Xu Qinghe was a down-to-earth person. He never thought that the other person had forgotten or didn't want to come. He just thought that Yan Laosan had encountered some difficulties and was unable to keep the appointment, so he couldn't help but worry about him.

However, he did not ask Yan Laosan for his specific address that day. It would not be easy for him to find someone in such a big city like Beijing.

"Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze!"

At this moment in the palace, the emperor once again sneezed loudly in a series.

"Your Majesty, have you caught a cold? Shall I ask the imperial physician to come and check your pulse?"

The eunuch who was speaking was called Eunuch Gui. He was also an old man who had followed the emperor since he was still a prince. However, he did not serve him before and only helped with some miscellaneous matters in the palace.

At that time, Eunuch Xing was a very popular figure, and Eunuch Gui was marginalized and had no say. He had not seen the emperor for a long time.

This time, Eunuch Xing was beaten to death, and his adopted sons and grandsons were also implicated. Qi Siyuan's people found a way to get rid of them all.

Then the emperor remembered Eunuch Gui, who had always worked honestly and was not talkative, and summoned him to serve in front of him.

"I'm fine, maybe someone is talking about me."

The emperor waved his hand indifferently and opened another memorial to review it.

Ever since he learned that a war might break out at the border, he appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very anxious.

The truth is that there has been no peace in the Yuan Dynasty in the past few years. It is either natural disasters or man-made disasters. Even though he has been working hard and tirelessly to handle state affairs, he has never been able to let the people live a stable life.

He even once doubted whether he was not suitable for this position at all and should step down and let others take over.

But he doesn't have many children. Now he only has two princes, and neither of them has a family. How can he feel at ease?

It’s a pity that the national teacher passed away after he said that thing, otherwise he could still give me some advice now.

The emperor was busy dealing with state affairs and did not take this matter to heart until he suddenly woke up from a dream in the middle of the night and remembered that he had broken his promise.

In fact, it was not the emperor's fault. He had always been visited by others since he was a child. He had never had the concept of breaking an appointment.

The emperor had a very pleasant conversation with Xu Qinghe that day. Even though he had long known that Xu Qinghe was a country boy, he could feel from him that this man was very knowledgeable.

Whether it's the confidence and composure that is inadvertently revealed in his conversation, or the fact that others can quote classics and analyze whatever he says.

Even among the well-educated civil servants in the court, many did not know these things clearly.

It’s just a pity that such a talented person has wasted decades in the countryside.
