After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

"Divine Doctor Ge?"

The Duke frowned, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Gu Yuanchen blinked and thought for a moment, "Grandfather, there seems to be a miracle doctor in the North. I wonder if it's the one my cousin mentioned."

Gu Huaizhi's eyes lit up, "Have you heard of it? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

He had also been looking for a doctor who was good at treating legs and wanted to treat Shen Yanli's legs. Although Shen Yanli looked like he didn't care about being in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, his legs were not numb and the pain in them could take his life. None of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital could help him. The emperor had also issued a notice to recruit famous doctors from all over the world, but all who came were useless and none of them could relieve his pain even a little.

Gu Yuanchen scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I only heard people mention it occasionally, how can I know whether it is true or not? Besides, I don't know what miracle doctor you are looking for, Third Brother."

A thought flashed in the Duke's eyes. If Shen Yanli's leg could really be cured, then he would be the most legitimate heir to the throne. By then, life would probably not be so peaceful.

Ye Qingyu glanced at the expressions of several people and her smile faded. "Grandfather, I need to go to the northern border and I need my fourth cousin to accompany me."

The Duke frowned, "You're going to the North? What are you going to do in the North?"

Gu Yuanchen was still a little confused. Weren't they just discussing the arranged marriage? Why did they suddenly go to the northern border?

"Cousin, do you have any important business in the Northern Territory? Just tell your fourth cousin to go back and help you. How can a girl like you go to such a bitterly cold place? It's snowing heavily there, and the roads are rough and difficult to travel. You can't go there."

Xu said, "Yes, Qingqing, if you need anything in the Northern Territory, you can just write a letter and ask your eldest uncle to help you. If that doesn't work, you can ask your fourth cousin to go there. You're just a delicate little girl, how can you afford to commit such a crime?"

Ye Qingyu shook her head. "My uncle and the others don't have time to help me. Grandfather, there will be a war on the border."

The Duke's expression changed, "Qingqing, you mean, you dreamed about it."

Ye Qingyu nodded. "Yes, many of the things in my previous dreams have come true. The war on the border will most likely happen as well. So, I asked Uncle Fu to stockpile food and fodder in Yanzhou early on. Uncle Fu is tied up in the south, so I have to go to the north in person to mobilize the food and fodder."

Gu Yuanchen said: "Even if a war breaks out, the imperial court will still be responsible for food and fodder issues."

The others were silent. Gu Huaizhi sighed, "Qingqing said she had stockpiled food and fodder, which means that uncle and his men don't have any food and fodder from the imperial court."

At present, all the food that can be raised has been transported to the south. If a war breaks out in the north, it will take more than one or two days to raise enough food and grass. We have not received any war reports yet. Once we receive the war reports, it will take at least ten days to raise food and transport it to the border.

But if the army is short of food and the soldiers starve for ten days or so, how many of them will survive? The Turks will invade the border without them having to attack.

Ye Qingyu said in a deep voice, "It's not just food, there are people who want my uncle's life."

After Ye Qingyu finished speaking, the room became eerily quiet.

The Duke knew what this meant.

It’s not that someone wants Heng’er’s life, but someone has set their eyes on the military power of the Duke’s Mansion!

Ye Qingyu continued, "The dream wasn't very detailed. I just dreamed that I heard about the war in the northern border while in Kyoto. So when I was storing grain, I asked Uncle Fu to send 300,000 dan of grain to Yanzhou. It's closer to Pingliang City, and it's much more convenient to transport grain there than from Kyoto. I thought it would be best if the dream was fake, as I could still sell the grain in Yanzhou without losing money."

The Duke frowned, "Even so, you don't have to go there yourself. If there's a war going on there, it's definitely not peaceful. Even with Xiao Si protecting us, it's still very dangerous. It's better for me to go."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Grandfather, Uncle Fu and I are the only ones who can mobilize the food over there. No one else can do that. Time is of the essence. Why don't you send me a few more guards with strong martial arts skills to protect me and my fourth cousin?"

Xu's face was full of worry. "Then, transfer Uncle Fu back and let him go."

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Third Aunt, Uncle Fu is far away in the south. If he rushes back and then rushes to the northern border, I'm afraid he will have missed the right opportunity. It would be most appropriate for me to go."

"Don't worry, I will protect myself."

The Duke looked at his granddaughter's determined expression and knew that he could not stop her. He had no way to stop her.

"When do you leave?"

"The sooner the better. The war in the north has already begun, but the report hasn't yet reached Kyoto."

The Duke sighed, "Then let's do it tomorrow morning."

Everyone dispersed, and the Duke called Ye Qingyu and Gu Yuanchen to his study. "Tomorrow, I will send secret guards to protect you. Since you are leaving the city secretly, I can't send too many guards openly, otherwise it will attract attention."

Ye Qingyu nodded. "Tomorrow morning, I will disguise myself as a man and ride out of the city with my fourth cousin. Firstly, it will be faster, and secondly, riding in a carriage will be questioned, which is too obvious."

The Duke nodded and said, "Alright, we can just buy a carriage after we leave the city."

Ye Qingyu said nothing. She walked over to the Duke's desk, picked up a pen, wrote a letter, and handed it to the Duke. "Grandfather, please find a way to deliver this letter to Commander-in-Chief Li Yuanxiao. Don't let him know it's you who sent it."

The Duke took the letter and looked at her in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

Is her granddaughter related to Li Yuanxiao?

Ye Qingyu's expression was cold. "It's a return gift to someone."

Ye Qingyu restrained her cold expression and said, "Grandfather should have a way to quickly contact my uncle. Please tell my uncle and let him be careful of the people around him."

Ye Qingyu didn't know if there were any traitors around her uncle, but she remembered that in her previous life, her uncle led his troops to attack the Turks, but was surrounded. He and ten thousand soldiers were buried there, and only a few people escaped.

If there was no one secretly communicating with the Turks, how would the Turks know that my uncle would lead people to launch a surprise attack? With my uncle's martial arts and strategy, even if the sneak attack failed, he could still escape unscathed. How could he be shot to death by the Turks' arrows?

When the Duke of Guo realized that someone wanted to take over the military power of the Duke's Mansion, he thought that there was a traitor around his eldest son. Otherwise, even if there was no food, with Heng'er's ability, it would not be a problem to defend Pingliang City for ten days or half a month.

After everything was ordered, Ye Qingyu returned to her own courtyard and asked Mo Shu to pack some clothes and money. She then went to rest early and get some rest, as she had to set off early the next morning.

The next day, Ye Qingyu got up early. Wanqiu tied her long hair into a man's bun. Xu found her Gu Huaizhi's childhood clothes and asked her to change into them.
