With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!
Chapter 68: A grown man, but so petty!
In the afternoon, Shu He asked Nan Qi and Zhang Zhirou to bring some people with her to the mountains to collect herbs. When they returned in the evening, she first comforted Xiao Yier before heading towards Baili Moqing's study.
At this time, he was meeting someone.
The man was wearing military armor but was not holding any weapons. He bowed slightly in front of Baili Moqing's desk with an extremely respectful attitude.
"The north of the city was in ruins, so I took the surviving civilians to the east to resettle them."
These days, many young and middle-aged people have left Beisha City, and most of the houses in the north and east of the city are empty, which is just the right place to accommodate them.
Baili Moqing nodded, no emotion visible on his solemn face.
"Where are General Yang and Governor Su?"
Su Su has been in Beisha City for more than four years, and the lives of the people in the city are becoming more and more difficult. If it were in the past, he would have killed Su Su long ago!
"Governor Su has claimed to be ill and has not left the house for two days."
"Is he sick?" Baili Moqing thought of the important events in Yuancheng and smiled faintly, "He's gone to seek his future, right?"
The man on the other side laughed dryly and said nothing, which was considered as tacit agreement with his guess. After all, his men had personally seen Su Su leave the city gate and head south.
Seeing this, Baili Moqing looked up at him and said, "Lu Yuquan, have you ever thought about finding a good future for yourself?"
"Your Highness, please understand. I only want to follow you and have no other thoughts!" Lu Yuquan quickly knelt down and expressed his determination sincerely.
Baili Moqing put down the book in his hand, his eyes flickered slightly, showing no emotion, "Get up."
"The Northern Di might be making some big moves soon. General Lu, do you think you can protect Beisha City?"
Lu Yuquan's knees softened and he knelt down again, a look of panic on his face. "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was negligent in what happened yesterday!"
Baili Moqing looked at him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "In that case, you should give up the position of garrison commander."
Lu Yuquan was terrified, "Your Majesty..."
"The Northern Di entered the city so easily this time. I think there are Northern Di accomplices inside. General, shouldn't we execute them to appease the people?"
Lu Yuquan lay on the ground, his mind almost turned to mush.
What does King Dongli mean?
One moment he is asked to resign, the next moment he is asked to execute the traitor. Is he qualified to be such an official or not?
Seeing that Lu Yuquan didn't understand, Bei Ji frowned slightly and took two steps forward. "The Ministry of War will issue a new transfer order tomorrow. Before that, General, just deal with the traitor. As for the rest, just follow the order."
After hearing this, Lu Yuquan finally understood a little and kowtowed quickly, "Yes, yes, I understand!"
"Go down."
Baili Moqing noticed the woman under the crabapple tree outside the yard, his expression changed slightly, and even his voice unconsciously became colder.
Lu Yuquan nodded repeatedly, his heart, having just breathed a sigh of relief, rising again. Why was Prince Dongli so moody? Had he said anything wrong? Why was he angry again?
Beiji sent Lu Yuquan to the door and was about to go back, but he was grabbed by his arm.
He frowned, a look of displeasure on his face, "What is General Lu doing?"
Lu Yuquan let go, an embarrassed look on his face. "Sorry, General Bei, I, I want to ask, who should I arrest as the traitor?"
Hearing this, Shu He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Because she really couldn't help herself, her laughter was quite loud, which immediately caught Lu Yuquan's attention.
"Who are you? Why are you hanging around in the prince's study? Are you trying to eavesdrop on military secrets?"
Lu Yuquan was about thirty-five years old, with a goatee on his round face and round eyes that looked very shrewd. He was an old hand in the officialdom and was at ease.
From what he just said, Shu He could see how clever he was.
No wonder Baili Moqing didn't dare to use him to lead the 30,000 defense troops in Beisha City.
"How dare you, old woman! You didn't even kneel before the imperial official, and you even dared to look at me with such disrespectful eyes! Are you tired of living?!"
Shu He's expression changed slightly.
Call her mother-in-law again!
She looked at her clothes and really hated this old-fashioned cotton coat!
"I must change my clothes tomorrow!" she murmured.
"You, what did you say?" Lu Yuquan thought he had misheard, and couldn't help but take two steps closer to Shu He, wanting to listen more carefully.
Bei Ji heard her mumbling and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Beiji mocking him, Shu He glared at him in dissatisfaction. Then he said to Lu Yuquan, "I'm definitely not tired of living. But General Lu, if you continue to be so foolish and try to be clever, I'm afraid you won't live long!"
"me……"
Lu Yuquan glanced at Beiji hurriedly, and seeing his cold expression, he felt panicked in an instant.
He was just afraid that King Dongli would think he was stupid, so he talked about the traitor in private. How is this being clever?
"Bei, General Bei, how could such an ignorant woman be present in the prince's residence? Will you not punish her?"
Seeing that Lu Yuquan couldn't even speak clearly, Bei Ji concealed his disdain. A "general" who couldn't even handle a "woman", no wonder the prince didn't dare to use him anymore.
"There's nothing wrong with what Madam He said. Besides, Madam He isn't just some old woman, she's the prince's physician."
"Doctor?" Lu Yuquan couldn't believe it.
Is there a woman who is a doctor in this world? And a woman who is just a woman?
Although this woman is dressed old-fashionedly, her facial features seem okay if you take a closer look. Could she be the prince's new favorite?
But, with the prince's talent, could he be attracted to this woman?
Shu He ignored him and walked straight into Baili Moqing's study.
Seeing this, Beiji sent Lu Yuquan out.
Baili Moqing sat at the desk, pretending to read a book, with a cold expression, as if he didn't see her come in.
She curled her lips slightly, knowing that he was still angry about what happened in the morning, and said, "Grown man, how can you be so petty!"
The book in Baili Moqing's hand was crumpled. Veins throbbing at his temples, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.
She pretended not to notice, forcibly pulled the book out of his hand, and clasped her fingers around his wrist again.
He let go after a moment.
"I think you can't blame me for misunderstanding. After all, I've never seen a man with such a big house without even a maid. Besides, Nanqi and Beiji, who are by your side, are both so handsome, and they have personal protection. Anyone would..."
"Shut up!!"
The man wanted to throw something, but there was nothing in his hands, so he could only slap the wheelchair and scold it coldly.
Shu He pursed his lips, a smile radiating from his eyes, "Okay, okay, don't get angry, I won't say anything. If you get sick from anger, I'll have to treat you."
His face flushed, and he couldn't help but want to curse, but he couldn't say it. He was really angry. He didn't understand why he, the dignified King of Dongli, was always suppressed by a woman.
He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, tried to make his voice sound more natural, and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said to Lu Yuquan?"
"What do you mean?" Shu He pretended not to know.
The man snorted coldly, "Lu Yuquan is stupid, but I am not. What you just said clearly shows that you know who the traitor in Beisha City is."
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you are no longer the King of Dongli, but a commoner?" Shu He reminded him with a smile. In the past few days of getting along, she had become more and more natural when facing him.
"Don't change the subject!" His voice rose uncontrollably as he asked again, "How did you know about this?"
Seeing this, Shu He didn't answer directly, but said: "I suggest that Your Majesty should not touch that person for the time being."
Baili Moqing's face darkened when he heard this. "Why?"
