The Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Ling Rong

At this moment, Wen Shichu was carefully treating the princess. His focused eyes seemed to penetrate every detail, and his hands were gentle and steady in taking the princess's pulse.

After a long time, he finally came to a conclusion and did not notice anything wrong or unusual.

"Your Majesty!" Wen Shichu bowed slightly, his expression revealing a soothing look.

"The princess is fine. She may have caught a cold a few days ago. Children have delicate stomachs and digestive systems, so she's experiencing some discomfort. This is quite common, so there's no need to worry too much."

He spoke softly, his words carrying the calmness and confidence unique to a doctor, which gradually calmed my heart.

The palace maids beside him also breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief in their eyes.

"I'm glad the princess is alright. I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Wen."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what I should do. I will prescribe medicine for the princess immediately."

"Wei Lin, you have to pay more attention to the princess's diet recently. There must be no mistakes." Wen Shichu instructed Wei Lin who was standing beside him.

"Yes, Master, I know." Wei Lin answered cautiously.

"Your Majesty, this is Wei Lin, the new imperial physician, and my apprentice. Although Wei Lin is young, he has superb medical skills. Your Majesty can rest assured. If I am not here, you can look for him." Wen Shichu explained.

"Then I'll have to trouble the imperial physician from now on!"

"I dare not!" Wei Lin answered in panic.

Since then, I have taken better care of Roujia and paid special attention to her daily diet.

When the Emperor heard Roujia was ill, he rushed over to visit her that evening. I simply advised him not to worry, as children are weak and prone to discomfort.

But the emperor was still worried and had to see Roujia before he could feel at ease. At this moment, I saw the worry and tension in his eyes, all of which were real.

At this moment, the emperor is just a father who is worried about his children.

But I know best that the emperor is ruthless.

At this time, Su Peisheng came in hurriedly, his face very ugly, and he said: "Your Majesty, it's bad, something happened!"

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you see that the princess is asleep?" said the emperor with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Su must have something urgent to do and cannot take care of these things. Eunuch Su, what happened?" Seeing the emperor's unhappy expression, I hurriedly found an excuse for Su Peisheng.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Tingyu has urgent military information to report and is waiting in the imperial study." Su Peisheng answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Tingyu is here. Your Majesty, please go and see him. Political matters are more important. The princess is fine now. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"That's good. Zhang Tingyu is not usually so reckless. Something big must have happened. I will go and see him first and come back to see you tomorrow." The emperor reminded me worriedly.

"Yes, I understand. I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty!"

The emperor left in a hurry. When he left, Su Peisheng looked back at me. I could see the gratitude and kindness in his eyes.

Outside the imperial study, Zhang Tingyu was anxiously waiting for the emperor, pacing back and forth at the door.

"What's wrong? You come to see me so late at night. What big thing happened?" The emperor asked nervously.

Zhang Tingyu also knew that the military situation was urgent and that there was no time to lose, so he quickly explained the whole situation: "Your Majesty, I have received news that the Junggar Khan passed away recently. Now the new Khan, Mog, has succeeded him. Mog is brave and skilled in fighting, and he is eyeing our Qing Dynasty with covetous eyes."

"I know this. I've heard that Mog is quite ambitious. Since he ascended the throne, he has often offended the people of the Qing Dynasty. I don't want to start a war, so I haven't bothered with them."

"Your Majesty, Moge has mobilized an army of 400,000 and stationed them outside Yanming Pass. They may attack the Qing Dynasty at any time. The situation is urgent. Please let Your Majesty make the decision." Zhang Tingyu said worriedly.

"There are too few good generals in the Qing Dynasty now. After Nian Gengyao, is there no one to check and balance the Junggar?" The emperor also had a worried look on his face at this moment.

Zhang Tingyu frowned slightly, a trace of confusion and worry flashing in his eyes. He pondered for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Then he spoke hesitantly, "I do have a candidate, but this person has a special status and a rather radical style of action. If I entrust this important task to him, I am indeed a little worried..."

"Of course I know who you're talking about. The Fourteenth Prince is known for his bravery and exceptional wisdom, truly a rare talent. However, he's too unruly. If he's allowed to return to the wilds, it might be difficult to control his actions. If he's given enough power and opportunity, he's very likely to do something that goes against the emperor's will, posing a huge threat to the court."

The emperor's tone revealed deep helplessness and worry.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical. Only General Wang Shisi can handle this task. The Junggar army is extremely brave and skilled in battle, sweeping across unconquered territory. We must find a general capable of opposing them. Apart from him, I cannot think of anyone else with the ability and courage to withstand their attack."

As Zhang Tingyu spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, and the expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.

He was well aware of the importance and risks of this matter. On the one hand, there was the safety of the country, and on the other hand, there were the possible risks, which made him fall into deep contradiction.

"No, that's not right. Although Old Fourteen and I are brothers born of the same mother, we've never been on good terms, and there are many disagreements and estrangements. He only wants to be close to those he wants to be close to, and he doesn't care about me, his older brother, at all. He usually doesn't care about my reputation or my position, so how could he be sincere now?"

When the emperor heard this proposal, he immediately rejected it without hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhang Tingyu didn't dare to say anything more.

"According to the Emperor, who should be sent to handle this matter?"

The emperor thought about it and finally decided to let Prince Guo go in his place.

"Seventeenth Master is obsessed with poetry and books, I'm afraid..." Zhang Tingyu said with some embarrassment.

"I know. I just want to let Prince Guo hold a position and guard Yanming Pass for me, but you have to make arrangements for the generals." The emperor stated his plan.

"Yes, this humble official knows."

"Convey my orders. Quickly transfer the 3,000 soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion to Prince Guo. Ensure they are well-equipped to demonstrate the majesty and strength of our dynasty. Order Prince Guo and Prince Shen to immediately lead these 3,000 soldiers to Yanming Pass and shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the border together. This is a matter of vital importance to the safety of our dynasty. We must not slack off in the slightest."

"Also, you, a general skilled in military strategy, must carefully coordinate your operations. You must be cautious and vigilant at all times, closely monitoring the movements around Yanming Pass. If there are any signs of an enemy attack, you must immediately prepare to fight."
