Yi Xin as a concubine

On the day of departure, the sky started to drizzle, and the autumn rain was very cold, which made Chu Xingchen, whose body had not yet fully recovered, feel even more tormented. The cold rain seemed to penetrate into the bones, and he shivered subconsciously due to the cold.

"Master, please approve the cloak. Your energy and blood have not yet recovered. If you get sick, Madam Xin will blame us for not taking good care of you when she comes back." Wangchuan said.

The displeasure on Chu Xingchen's brow faded a little. He stood where he was and let Wangchuan put the long cloak that dragged on the ground on him. Then, without any help, he jumped lightly, stood steadily on the carriage, and bent slightly to get into the carriage.

"Let's go!" The voice coming from the carriage was somewhat inexplicably ethereal, as if confirming that the owner was distracted at the moment.

The carriage swayed slowly as it moved towards the nearby county government. Even though the people in the carriage were pale and weak, they still sat firmly in their seats, locking the lingering figure in their minds into a corner and pretending to forget it.

With my eyes closed, I forced myself to gather my chaotic and scattered thoughts, recalling and replaying the recent events over and over again.

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes, and they were clear and bright. All his sickness and fragility seemed to disappear at this moment, and he turned into the decisive and ruthless future emperor.

"Wangchuan, send a message to General Xu, asking him to check if there are any unusual movements in the army. Do not let go of anyone, anything, or anything." This time the voice was decisive and full of energy.

"Yes," Wangchuan followed on horseback and quickly responded when he heard it.

They are now at the southernmost part of the north, six or seven days' journey from the border town between the north and the Qiang State. It would take at least four days for a carrier pigeon to send a letter back and forth, plus the time for investigation, so it would take at least another six or seven days to receive a reply.

Chu Xingchen calculated the time in his mind, thinking about the next plan, and deducing each one of them in his head.

After walking for a few hours, we finally arrived at the nearest Shangyang County. After settling down in the post station, it was almost evening.

"Master, please take a rest first. I will ask someone to find a doctor." Wangchuan spoke after he had taken care of Chu Xingchen's house inside and outside.

"Yeah." Chu Xingchen was sitting at the table nearby, thinking about something with his head down. Hearing this, he responded without even raising his head.

"I'll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. Is there anything you want to eat?" Wang Chuan really wanted to persuade him to go to rest, but he knew he couldn't, so he had to ask the next best thing.

Chu Xingchen raised his head and glanced impatiently towards the door. Wangchuan was startled and didn't dare to ask any more questions. He turned around and left with a wry smile.

"Wangchuan, I heard that the Second Master was injured, so my cousin asked me to come over and serve him."

A clear and loud voice sounded behind him. Wangchuan thought he was hallucinating, but he still turned around expectantly, forgetting to close the door. Then, as if he had seen a savior, tears filled his eyes.

"Lancao, it's really you, oh!" As he said that, he pounced towards Lancao, looking like an old relative whom he hadn't seen for eight hundred years.

But before he could get close to Lancao, a cold-faced woman in black suddenly appeared in front of Lancao and spun Lancao around. Wangchuan couldn't stop in time and almost fell flat on his face.

"Hehe, um, sorry, I'm too excited. The master is in the house. Go and greet the master first, and then I will arrange accommodation for you."

"By the way, this girl..." Wangchuan knew that Xin Baoer had three different armed forces under her. Except for the Yuwei who were all women, there were women in the other two forces as well. So he didn't know the origin of this person for the time being, and didn't dare to make arrangements casually, so he asked tentatively.

"Yuyan, just come with me." Lancao said indifferently.

Wangchuan nodded and walked into the house with Lancao. His steps became visibly lighter. Now that Lancao was here, the master could finally eat more.

"Master, look who's coming?" Wang Chuan was a little too proud of himself and kept Chu Xingchen in suspense, completely forgetting that he had been threatened by his master's eyes before.

Chu Xingchen had just finished writing a part and hadn't thought about the next part yet. He looked up when he heard the words and looked at Wangchuan expressionlessly. Ever since he was injured, he felt that his personal bodyguard was becoming more and more stupid. He was considering whether he should replace Huang Quan and Youming and let them go out to gain experience for a while to find their brains.

Wangchuan's smile froze, and he took a step to the side with a wry smile, revealing Lancao following behind him.

Lancao smiled and bowed politely, then said in a clear and crisp voice, "Second Master, I am here to take care of your food and daily life."

When Chu Xingchen saw the person coming, his calm eyes finally showed some movement, and he asked expectantly, "Under orders, whose orders?"

Lancao was a carefree person. She didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the room at all. She answered without a care in the world: "Master Qin Mo asked me to come here. Oh, he also asked me to bring you two letters."

As Lancao spoke, she fumbled in her arms and sleeve pockets. After a while, she finally found what she wanted. Her expression showed a hint of anxiety. Chu Xingchen and Wangchuan, who were staring at her, couldn't help but become worried when they saw her like this.

"Why don't you take it out quickly? Did you lose it?" Wangchuan urged.

"I... I..." Lancao was already a little anxious, and when she was urged, she almost cried. She randomly took out things from her arms and sleeve pockets, including food, daily necessities, even needles and thread, but nothing related to letters.

Chu Xingchen withdrew his gaze and his face became a little colder. Because Lancao was the girl's closest person, he refrained from asking any questions. Wangchuan was so anxious that he wanted to search her himself.

This little girl is too confused. I had hoped that her coming here would give the master some comfort. But now, she is of no help and has made the master even more unhappy.

"Oh, look at my memory. I was afraid I might lose it, so I left it with Yuyan. Second Master, please wait, I'll get it right away."

The expression on his face that seemed about to cry disappeared in an instant, and he ran out in a hurry, not even waiting for orders from his master Chu Xingchen, and continued to be disrespectful to the end.

Before the two men in the room could recover from this sudden change, Lancao had already run back with two letters in her hand. Without even bothering to greet them, she crossed the Wangchuan River and stuffed the letters into Chu Xingchen's hands.

Wangchuan couldn't hold his forehead with his hand. This girl was really spoiled by Madam Xin. If she continued like this, she would not be able to stay with her master. It seemed that she had to be taught some rules, otherwise she would get into trouble sooner or later.

Chu Xingchen was also somewhat helpless, holding the two crumpled letters that were forced into his hands, his expression was indescribable, and after a while, he managed to calm down his violent emotions.

"You go down first. We don't need you to serve me today. You've worked hard on the way. Have a good rest tonight and come back to serve me tomorrow." Chu Xingchen said in a calm voice.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Lan Cao bowed hastily and retreated respectfully.

"Master, that subordinate will withdraw first." Wang Chuan looked anxious. He was eager to catch up with that ignorant girl. He thought to himself that he must teach her a good lesson.

Chu Xingchen nodded and slowly smoothed the letter in his hand, without any expression regarding Wang Chuan's departure.

When the letter was finally smoothed out, my frown slowly relaxed and I finally felt like taking out the letter and quickly reading it.

The first letter was written by Qin Mo. It contained a lot of information, all of which was information he urgently needed. He had already preliminarily determined the candidate for the matter he had just ordered General Xu to investigate, and his ability to collect intelligence was comparable to that of his Heqilou.

But he had nothing to be envious of. After all, if he hadn't ordered his subordinates not to interfere with the Northern Army, the boy wouldn't have been able to show off the news to him.

But I am still very grateful to this cousin who came back halfway. It saved him a lot of trouble and got him back to the city one step faster.

He put the first letter down, picked up the second letter and unfolded it. The beautiful handwriting jumped out of the paper, making him feel elated in an instant, but it was a pity that no one could see it.

The letter was very short, and still did not leave an address. It consisted of just a few words, saying that she was doing well and asked him not to worry. The rest of the letter was about what she had done recently and how much money she had earned, and told him to spend money without worrying and to spend it as much as he wanted.

After reading the letter, Chu Xingchen felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Could it be possible that he could feel at ease being supported by a young woman with her money? He thought he was not that shameless.

My heart felt warm, yet also uncomfortable. However, my thoughts became clearer and more determined.
