Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly
Chapter 66: Night Visit to the Qin Family
On a quiet night, soft moonlight shines on the earth.
The Qin family study in the general's mansion in the capital.
"General, the tea is here. Please watch less and go to bed early!" Butler Zhang Fu put down the tea and started nagging.
General Qin replied casually: "I understand, you can go down!"
"Yes." The butler responded and retreated.
The door closed and everything returned to calm. When General Qin was about to write, his eyes fell on the armor hanging on the wall. This armor was not only a symbol of his lifelong military service, but also the belief of the Qin family in defending the border for generations.
Looking at the armor and thinking about the generations of Qin family members who were loyal to Dasheng and swore allegiance to him until death, General Qin was filled with thoughts. He did not want to be controlled by others, nor did he want to be humiliated and wronged.
Old General Qin sighed. His grandson had already died on the battlefield, and the Third Prince wanted to use him to force him to take sides. Such wolfish ambitions were worse than pigs and dogs.
As they sighed, Baili Ye and Chu Qinghe used their spatial teleportation function to arrive outside General Qin's study.
The two men stood at the door, listening to the old general's sad sigh, and understood what General Qin was thinking.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, I heard a voice from inside the room:
"Who's out there?"
Chu Qinghe was just surprised at General Qin's hearing when she heard Baili Ye say to the door: "General Qin, it's me, Baili Ye."
There was a "thump" sound of something falling in the room, followed by hurried footsteps, and then the door was opened.
"Your Highness Prince Chen, it's really you. It's great that you're still alive."
General Qin opened the door, unable to hide his excitement. He said:
"Your Majesty, Prince Chen, your humble servant pays respect to you." He was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Baili Ye stepped forward and held General Qin's hand, preventing him from kneeling.
"Old General, there's no need to be so polite. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night because it's urgent." Baili Ye explained.
"It's okay, Your Majesty, please come in.
I am more happy than anything to see Your Highness come back safely. You used to come to see Minglang at night, but at that time~"
Halfway through his words, General Qin thought of his grandson who died on the battlefield, and he couldn't help feeling sad.
Knowing that the old general was thinking of his best friend, he followed the old general into the house without keeping him in suspense.
"Did the old general think of Minglang?"
General Qin did not answer, but turned his gaze to the figure standing next to him. In an instant, his eyes were shocked and a light blue figure appeared in front of him. Every time he returned home from the expedition, she would fly towards him like a light swallow.
She would throw herself on him, insisting that he throw her high into the air and catch her. Every time his wish came true, his giggles would linger in the air and spread throughout the yard.
From a child to a grown-up girl, she has always been her own happy and carefree treasure.
In General Qin's reminiscent gaze, Chu Qinghe saw the glow of happiness.
Baili Ye saw that General Qin was staring at Qing He in a trance, and he was a little confused, so he stepped forward and called out to him, "General?"
General Qin came to his senses and said to the two men, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about some past events and got distracted."
He stared at Chu Qinghe for a while and asked, "My Lord, who is this girl?"
Baili Ye smiled and said, "Old General, she is my future princess, Chu Qinghe."
Chu Qinghe stepped forward to greet General Qin: "Qinghe greets the old general."
General Qin looked at the girl. She was young but acted briskly and gracefully. Although she had not grown up yet, she could be seen to have a bright future.
He said to her kindly, "Little girl, there is no need to be so polite. Come, come, come and sit over here."
As he said this, he invited Baili Ye to sit down.
The three of them sat down, and the old general poured tea while saying, "The prince said that he came to visit me late at night because of something. I wonder what it is?"
"Old General, to be honest, the reason I came here today is because of something clear." Baili Ye said truthfully.
After listening to this, General Qin put down the teapot.
"Minglang? Do you also know that the Third Prince came to threaten me?" General Qin said, still unable to hide his anger.
"I also heard about the Third Prince's visit. I came here for another matter. It's about Ming Lang."
General Qin didn't know what King Chen was doing, so he just waited quietly for King Chen to speak.
"Old General, Minglang is not dead, he is still alive."
As soon as the words fell, it was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake. General Qin could not hide his shock and jumped up from his chair with a snap. He grabbed Baili Ye's arm and asked impatiently, "Is what the prince said true? Minglang is not dead, he is still alive?"
As he spoke, he could no longer conceal his inner excitement and disbelief.
Baili Ye looked at his red eyes and helped him sit down on the chair. "Old General, don't get excited. I'll tell you slowly."
So Baili Ye recounted the story of how he was being chased, and after being rescued and recuperating in Qinghe Town, Tailai County, he discovered that there were private soldiers stationed on the local Ao Mountain, and that medicine men were being made in the cave, and how he found that Qin Minglang was among the medicine men and rescued him.
When General Qin heard that his most cherished grandson was tortured and almost became a drug man, he was so angry that he clenched his fists and his veins bulged.
"This is absurd and insane. I am going to kill him." As he said this, he was about to take the sword on the table.
"Calm down, old general. Now is not the time for you to take revenge." Baili Ye grabbed General Qin.
When Chu Qinghe saw the old general being furious and distressed for his grandson, she felt an inexplicable bitterness in her heart.
What all soldiers want in the end is to die on the battlefield, as this is the heroic ending in which they die a worthy and benevolent death.
No one wants to be stabbed in the back by their comrades, endure unnecessary torture and humiliation, let alone involve their families.
"Yes, General Qin, we all know the anger and grief in your heart. The prince and Qin Minglang are comrades-in-arms and good friends, and they will not sit idly by.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and the time for revenge is not far away. The old general should wait patiently for a while! Wouldn't it be better to wait for Qin Minglang to recover and come back to take revenge together legitimately? "
When General Qin heard the words "Qin Minglang is back", hope ignited in his heart. He had heard that the final outcome of refining medicine was to turn people into demons who killed people without blinking an eye and puppets without emotions. He thought that his grandson was just waiting to die and never dared to think that his grandson would come back.
At this time, General Qin couldn't help but say:
"My grandson is going to be turned into a medicine man. Can he come back alive?"
He looked at Baili Ye and Chu Qinghe with sorrow and pleading.
Baili Ye stepped forward and said, "Old General, Minglang is very strong-willed. When we rescued him, he was still conscious. Now after Xiaohe's treatment, he woke up once and seemed to recognize me. He said the word "Ye" twice. His condition has improved. Please be patient and wait."
After hearing this, General Qin immediately stepped forward and was about to kneel down before Chu Qinghe. Fortunately, Chu Qinghe was already aware of the ancient custom of kowtowing in gratitude for saving one's life, so he quickly stepped forward to stop the old general.
"General, you don't have to do this. I should do this both for public and private reasons. Besides, this is the doctor's duty. You don't have to worry about it."
"I won't say any more words of thanks. If you need me or the Qin family in the future, my whole family will be there for you and will go through fire and water for you."
At this moment, he still couldn't hide his shock and joy. He didn't expect that his grandson could recover.
Many years ago, he had witnessed the power of the important people with his own eyes. Every medicine man was invulnerable to swords and guns, and had no emotions. They were like puppets, at the mercy of others.
No matter whether the person in front of them is an enemy or a friend, as long as the person giving the order gives the order, they will not stop until the person is dead. The tragic scene of that year is still vivid in my mind.
The most pitiful thing is that the medicine men didn't know what they were doing until they died, like a speck of dust. In the end, it was a master who subdued those medicine men and everyone was able to survive.
From then on, not only Dasheng but also several surrounding countries and tribes strictly prohibited people from refining medicine, especially Xiliang.
Now, when General Qin heard that the little girl in front of him had saved his grandson, how could he not be shocked? At such a young age, her medical skills were so amazing, couldn't it be said that she had reached the pinnacle? This greatly overturned his perception of doctors, and in his mind, Chu Qinghe had already been classified as a miracle doctor.
The look he gave Chu Qinghe was even more gentle and appreciative. The anger and resentment he felt for his grandson's failure to be saved were swept away, and General Qin stepped forward and looked at the little girl affectionately: "Princess, where is Minglang receiving treatment now? How long will it take for him to recover? When can I see him?"
Chu Qinghe looked at the old man. His eyes were full of concern for his grandson, and his sincere heart was beyond words. Unable to bear to make the old man sad and anxious, Chu Qinghe smiled and said to General Qin:
"Old General, when General Qin was first rescued, he was in poor condition and could not be moved, so he could only be treated in my hometown.
I have recovered very well now and I believe I will be able to come back to see you soon.
You will be able to see him on the Queen's birthday."
After hearing Chu Qinghe's answer, the old general felt relieved. There were still fifteen days left until the Queen's birthday, which was the deadline that the Third Prince had given him.
The old general thought that since these two days coincided, could something be going to happen?
"May I ask Your Highness, will there be any major events on the Queen's birthday?"
"The old general is right. The day of our mother's birthday is the day for the general and Minglang to take revenge.
My father asked me to tell the old general that he knows everything about the Third Prince's threat to you. He also knows that the Qin family has been loyal for generations and will not disregard the interests of the country or commit treason or collaborate with the enemy.
The old general can pretend to be friendly first, and then join forces with the crown prince to beat the treacherous villains."
Then Baili Ye talked to General Qin about the plan for the day. After two quarters of an hour, he finally finished talking about the plan. The old general finally felt relieved.
"Your Highness, you may not know that the Third Prince has sent people to put pressure on us several times recently, saying that he has a handwritten letter from Minglang that shows he is collaborating with the enemy. Although I firmly believe that the Qin family will not act in this way, I am also worried that he will forge a letter of collaboration and put our Qin family in an irreparable situation."
Chu Qinghe saw that General Qin was indeed tired, so he stepped forward and said, "General, if you don't mind, can I take your pulse?"
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Princess." When the little doctor asked her to take his pulse, she was so happy that how could she not obey him?
General Qin swiftly stretched out his hand and placed it in front of Chu Qinghe.
Chu Qinghe put his hand on the old man's pulse, activated the space medical system and began to scan. The scan results showed that although General Qin had some minor health problems, he was still relatively strong. The biggest problem was that he had many hidden injuries. If they were not treated, once they broke out, his body would collapse in the future.
Fortunately, it only takes a while to heal. Chu Qinghe took out a porcelain bottle of pills from his sleeve and handed it to General Qin with both hands.
"The old general is in good health, but he has many hidden injuries from the battlefield. He needs to be properly recuperated. You take this bottle of pills for a period of time, and you will be fine in the future."
General Qin looked at the familiar face and took the medicine bottle with a smile.
"Thank you, Princess, for the medicine. I will take it carefully. May I ask where your home is in Tailai County? I will come to your house to thank you handsomely when I have the chance!"
Chu Qinghe didn't care and said:
"Old General, my home is in Shangao Village, Qinghe Town, Tailai County, hundreds of miles away from here, so you don't have to worry about it."
If it was in the capital, it would still be possible to visit him, but in Shangao Village, hundreds of miles away, Chu Qinghe felt that visiting him was impossible.
However, her idea was severely overturned by reality.
Chu Qinghe had just finished speaking when he saw the old general seeming to hesitate to speak. Then he mustered up the courage to say to him:
"Princess, I have something to ask of you. Please grant my request."
"Old General, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
General Qin no longer concealed his intention and asked:
“Your Highness, my wife was deeply traumatized by something that happened many years ago, and she has been in poor health ever since. Three years ago, after the news of Minglang’s death on the battlefield came back, her health became even worse. If it weren’t for the medicine given by the Emperor and the care of the imperial physicians, I’m afraid she would have passed away long ago.
I have been guarding the border all my life and have neglected my wife and children. As a result, my family has suffered a lot. I feel very guilty. Today, I learned that the princess is a great doctor. Can you ask the princess to treat my wife?"
Chu Qinghe knew about Madam Qin's condition, and said to the old general with a smile: "Old General, even if you didn't tell me today, I would still see the old lady.
Before coming to the General's Mansion, the Emperor had already explained the old lady's condition to me and instructed me to treat her.
Do you think we should go over there or ask the old lady to come over?"
When General Qin heard Chu Qinghe say this, he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the palace with tears of gratitude:
"I, your humble servant, bow to thank the Emperor. Your Majesty is so busy with affairs, yet you still remember the little things in my family. I am grateful for your consideration. Long live the Emperor."
After bowing and wiping away his tears, General Qin said to Baili Ye and Chu Qinghe:
"Your Highness and Princess are coming late at night, so it is inappropriate for them to show up. I will go and call my wife myself. Please wait for a moment, Your Highness and Princess."
After saying that, General Qin turned around and went out to the backyard to invite the old lady.
