Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 380 Battle Report

  Li Chang left with a dark face.

  Lu Mingyu deeply exhaled the turbid air in his chest.

  For the sake of the overall situation and the stability of the palace, no matter how much she hated Li Chang, she had to resist the urge to kill. To clean up Li Chang, there will be more opportunities in the future. That's all for now.

   At noon, Lu Mingyu went to Queen Qiao's bedroom.

   After two days, Queen Qiao's symptoms did not ease, but got worse. The bedroom was filled with the smell of medicine, Queen Qiao was lying sickly on the bed, and Princess Huian was serving Queen Qiao to drink medicine.

  When Lu Mingyu came, Queen Qiao cheered up, finished the medicine, and struggled to get up to speak.

  Lu Mingyu sat on the edge of the bed and said warmly: "The mother is not feeling well, so just take a good rest. With me in the palace, everything is safe as usual, and the mother does not need to worry."

   Queen Qiao didn't have the strength to get up, so she just lay there, and sighed with a wry smile: "Bengong is really useless. When it's important to fall, I just fell ill. Everything depends on you."

  Lu Mingyu tucked the quilt for Queen Qiao, and said softly: "The mother and the queen will take care of them well. For the daughter-in-law, it is the greatest comfort."

  Without the trust and support of Queen Qiao, how could she, the crown princess, be able to easily become a director.

Princess Hui'an pretended to be brisk and smiled and said: "Empress mother relax. In my opinion, younger brother and sister are in charge of palace affairs, which is much more agile than that of the queen mother. For matters in the court, the fifth brother will go to the government every day and come back to report. The younger brother and sister know everything. The mother can rest in peace and recuperate!"

   Queen Qiao was still uneasy, and opened her mouth to ask, "Where's brother and sister Xuan? Are they okay?"

Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "Qiyun and a few wet nurses stay by their brother and sister's side every day, and I will accompany them when I have free time. It's just that the children always have their grandmother in mind, and they always have to talk about it seven or eight times a day. But get better soon, brother and sister Xuan miss her grandmother so much."

   Queen Qiao finally had a smile: "What I said is, I haven't seen you for two days, and Ben Gong has a lot of thoughts in my heart."

   The child is still young and cannot enter the dormitory, lest she be too sick.

   She has to take good care of her body, otherwise, she will not be able to see her grandchildren.

  Lu Mingyu instructed the palace servants to pass the meal.

   In the past few days, Queen Qiao has not entered the grain of rice. Today I finally opened my mouth to eat. The warm porridge slid into the stomach, and some strength slowly developed in the body.

  …

   In the afternoon, the battle report was sent to the palace again.

   "...His Royal Highness was shot by an arrow in the chest. He lost a lot of blood, and he has not yet regained consciousness. However, the imperial doctor who accompanied him said that His Highness has no worries about his life, and he will recover after taking good care of him for a few months."

   This is a fortune among misfortunes.

   Queen Qiao's eyes were red, and she hugged her head and cried with Princess Hui'an.

   Lu Mingyu's nose was sore, turned his head to one side, and after a while, he turned his head: "Your Highness is fine."

   The inner servant who came to deliver the letter whispered again: "The report also said that the Yan army was defeated, and the victory was decided. Next, the two armies will sweep the Yan army and the Chu army together and gather them together."

   The remnants of the defeated army should not be underestimated.

   Dawei wants to completely shovel Yanchu and open up territory, and then it will take a lot of time and troops. This process also takes several months.

  Lu Mingyu nodded and instructed: "You go back to the Fifth Prince, if there is any movement in the court, send a letter immediately."

   The waiter in the room withdrew.

   Queen Qiao was exhausted after crying, and soon fell asleep.

   Princess Hui'an said to Lu Mingyu with red eyes: "Second brother is not in serious trouble, but the injury is really serious. According to the battle report, he has been in a coma for two or three days and hasn't woken up yet!"

  Lu Mingyu felt colic in her heart.

   She has a strong personality and never sheds tears in front of people. No matter how painful and sad, he still held on, and looked much calmer than Princess Hui'an: "Your Highness is fine. There is an imperial doctor to take care of him, and he will take care of him slowly, and there will always be a day when he will recover."

   Princess Hui'an couldn't help but feel that her sister-in-law was so calm and cold, and muttered to herself.

   However, people are panicking right now, and everything is supported by Lu Mingyu. Those words swirled around and were quickly swallowed back by Princess Hui'an.

  …

   After another day, Shen Lan entered the palace with a post.

   Auntie and sister-in-law met, looking at each other's haggard faces, their hearts were filled with sadness.

   "Second sister-in-law, you have lost a lot of weight." Lu Mingyu opened his mouth to break the silence.

Shen Lan smiled bitterly: "To tell you the truth, I heard that your second brother was injured a few days ago, and I was upset, unable to eat or sleep well." After a pause, he whispered distressedly: "His Royal Highness is hurt. Much heavier than your second brother, these few days, you must have a hard time."

  Lu Mingyu's eyes were a little hot, and he hummed.

   Queen Qiao has fallen ill. She has to stabilize her heart and stay calm in front of others. In front of the children, you have to smile as usual, and not show any sadness at all.

  At night, she often stayed up until the third shift without sleepiness. The appetite is also far less than in the past. In just a few days, people have lost a lot of weight.

   This kind of worry is like frying, and only each other can understand it.

   After a moment of silence, Lu Mingyu opened his mouth again and said, "Now that the victory has been decided, the next battle will be much easier to fight."

  Shen Lan cheered up and replied, "Yeah, I just hope that they will return to Beijing after a great victory. I don't care what kind of merits they make, I just want your second brother to come back safely."

   sat opposite each other for a while, and two naughty bags came to join in the fun.

   In front of the children, of course, not to mention the war wounds and the like. Lu Mingyu smiled and asked the children to salute Shen Lan: "Hurry up and call Auntie!"

  叝 Brother and Sister Xuan stood side by side, holding up their fleshy little fists together: "I've seen my aunt!"

  Shen Lan was amused and laughed, stretched out his hand to pull the two brothers and sisters over, put them in his arms and kissed. He smiled at Lu Mingyu again and said, "I entered the palace today, and I didn't dare to let Brother Zhuang see it. Otherwise, he would have made a scene."

   Brother Zhuang is a few months younger than Brother Jueer and Sister Xuan, and is now one year old. Children of this age are most attached to their mothers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are small followers.

  Shen Lan entered the palace while Brother Zhuang took a nap. Brother Zhuang woke up and couldn't see his mother, so he had to make a fuss.

  Lu Mingyu also had a smile in his eyes: "I haven't seen Brother Zhuang for some days. Next time you enter the palace, you can bring him with you."

   Brother Jie and Sister Xuan all remembered Brother Zhuang and shouted at his younger brother.

  Shen Lan said with a smile: "Okay, in a few days, I will bring Brother Zhuang into the palace to play with you."

  Shen Lan remembered Brother Zhuang, and after speaking for an hour, he retired from the Palace.

  Lu Mingyu personally escorted Shen Lan to the palace gate, and the two sisters-in-law held each other's hands and said in a low voice, "Second sister-in-law, take care of your health."

   "Xiaoyu, you should also cherish it. No one is made of iron, and you have to take care of your own body."

   This is the one who truly cherishes her.

   Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed with water, and he nodded lightly.
