Li Xuanji's eyes lit up. "The grain escort team will arrive in two days. According to their speed, they should be near Luozhou now."

"Your Majesty means, General Huo, you can arrange for someone to disguise themselves as a bandit and hijack the escort team."

"Then mobilize the army to chase the bandits."

When Chen Shien heard this, he immediately nodded, "Great!"

"Your Majesty, this is a very good plan. In order to attach importance to this transaction between the two countries, it is justified to send General Huo to suppress the bandits."

"As for where General Huo will chase them, that depends on where the bandits run."

Huo Cheng also agreed with both hands.

I haven't done such an interesting thing for many years.

Jiang Feng, on the other hand, was a little worried. "Your Majesty, how do we deal with the transaction with Yue?"

Murong Yue was in a good mood after receiving recognition from humans.

(* ^^ *)

"Of course, take back the food."

That’s right. Yue’s grain was stolen within Qing’s territory, so Qing must be responsible for getting it back.

Continue trading after you get it back.

This method is good.

The brother and sister who have a lot to do have to continue staying in Qing Kingdom.

Murong Anle spread his hands.

When he received the news and rushed to the palace yesterday, the farce was almost over.

There was a big hole in the roof of Lingxi Palace, the palace was burned to charcoal, and the water used to put out the fire turned into ice.

No one died, but the two Yue masters were seriously injured.

He suppressed his smile and went to the Imperial Hospital to visit the two of them with great grief.

Xiao Yuanche's legs were burned and a layer of skin had fallen off, especially on his thighs. The tender red flesh was very horrifying.

Now I can neither wear pants nor cover myself with a blanket, otherwise the wound will stick together.

I could only lie on the bed with my bare buttocks.

Fortunately, the doctors in the hospital are all men, so it’s not awkward.

Xiao Yuanshuang's face and feet were burned, and she could not walk and could only stay in bed.

As for the face, in Murong Anle's opinion, it was okay.

I heard that it was just a few sparks and would not leave scars after healing.

At least that’s what the imperial physician said.

With such a big thing happening, of course the leaders of the Yue delegation would come to visit.

Xiao Yuanche was unhappy to see people, and angrily stopped all the adults outside.

It would be embarrassing enough for my injury to be felt in Qing State, but if it were seen by the people in Yue State and reported back to my country, how would I face people in the future?

The adults had no choice but to inquire about the situation through Xiao Yuanche's entourage.

The members of the delegation breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that it was only a superficial wound and that the man would not die.

The third princess, on the other hand, had herbs on her face, but the smell was really unpleasant.

But the third princess's temperament is much better than the second prince's.

"This is a great shame and humiliation for the Kingdom of Yue. If you can't seek justice for me and my second brother, humph."

"When you return, bring your head to see Father."

The leader of the delegation was a man named Pi. This surname is rare, but the name suits the man.

Mr. Pi is patient, emotionally stable, and handles things in an orderly manner.

At this moment, he is also the backbone of the Yue State delegation.

"Princess, please calm down. The food for the trade with Qing Kingdom is about to arrive."

"I will make arrangements and will not let you and the Second Prince suffer any injustice in vain."

"Okay, I'll be waiting here."

After being injured, Xiao Yuanshuang no longer wanted to pretend to be gentle, and the cold and strong side of her character was completely exposed.

Lord Pi’s plan is simple. Food will soon enter the capital, and now the princes of Yue State are injured in the palace.

Never mind how you got hurt.

So does Qingguo want to express something?

He planned to increase the original amount of 300,000 taels of silver to 1 million taels.

Is one million taels too much? That can't offset the suffering of the two princes.

Don't agree? Fine, then I'll compensate the Second Prince.

It's okay to be a husband.

If that doesn't work, one of Guofu's men will do.

Anyway, the empress must have a husband. No one stipulates that there can only be one husband, right?

There have been several female emperors in history whose harems were no less magnificent than those of male emperors.

It's nothing more than having more people in the harem.

As long as Xiao Yuanche entered the harem of the Queen of Qing, the mission assigned to them by the Emperor of Yue would be completed.

As for whether the Second Prince’s injured legs would be disliked by the Empress, that was not within his consideration.

This was the optimal solution that Lord Pi and several other members of the delegation came up with overnight.

"Now that both Your Highnesses are injured, it's time for us to play a role."

"Everyone must work together to seek justice for the princes at the court meeting in two days."

"Yes."

After everyone left, this small ward in the Imperial Hospital returned to silence.

When Lingxi Palace caught fire, Murong Anle naturally arranged other palaces for them to live in.

But now I have to stay in the ward of the Imperial Hospital so that I can be cared for by the imperial physician.

The small ward had only a bed and a set of tables and chairs, and was very simple.

Xiao Yuanshuang closed her eyes.

His mind was filled with the raging fire, Qi Yuan's look of disdain, and the words that Xiao Yuanche had heard in a daze when he was unconscious.

"Your Highness, the medicine is here."

Cherry lifted the thick cotton door curtain and came in with a bowl of medicine.

The choking smell of the medicine made Xiao Yuanshuang cough a few times.

"Your Highness, I also asked for some candied fruit. It's very bitter. Use it to moisten your mouth later."

"Need not."

Xiao Yuanshuang picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

A moment of bitterness made her tongue lose feeling.

well.

It is this kind of pain that can make people sober.

A candied cherry was stuffed into my mouth, and the bitterness gradually faded away.

Xiao Yuanshuang looked at Yingtao and said, "If it weren't for you in the fire yesterday, I would have been hurt more seriously."

"When we return to Yue, I will reward you well."

"Many things are inconvenient in Qing Country right now."

Cherry supported her knees, moved a chair over and sat down with difficulty.

Because of that kneeling yesterday, her knees were swollen like buns today, and it felt like needles were pricking her when she walked.

But she didn't trust others to take care of the third princess.

Especially the second prince’s last words and look made her very scared.

If anything happened to the third princess, she would probably not be able to survive.

Therefore, we must serve the third princess well, and everyone must return to the Kingdom of Yue alive.

After a while, Xiao Yuanshuang spoke in a hoarse voice, "After I fainted yesterday, did my second brother say anything?"

Cherry hesitated.

Should I tell my master what Xiao Yuanche said?

"Cherry, now you and I are trapped here, master and servant. You are the only one I can trust."

What she meant was that she no longer trusted even her closest relative, Xiao Yuanche.

Cherry bit her lip and struggled internally for a few breaths.

Yes.

If the second prince and the third princess really want to fight to the death, she hopes that the third princess will win.

She stood up, endured the severe pain, and knelt in front of Xiao Yuanshuang.

He repeated word for word what Xiao Yuanche said yesterday.

Xiao Yuanshuang sneered.

"So, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs..."

"My dear second brother, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

"Get up."

"In two days, the grain from Yue will arrive for trade. Go and find out what Lord Pi has planned."

"Yes."

Just now, Lord Pi did not tell us his plan, perhaps because he was worried that someone might have ears, or perhaps because he had no idea yet.

But it doesn't matter.

She had to understand the plans of the delegations and then think about what to do to keep Xiao Yuanche here forever.

Of course, he is not allowed to stay here as a country man.

As for Qi Yuan and Li Xuanji, since we can’t get them, let’s just destroy them.
