No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 499

Luo Junyao didn't know how long she slept this time. When she woke up, the sky outside was still bright, but her body was inexplicably sore and weak. She couldn't help lying on the bed and stretching indistinctly.Just about to sit up, I heard Xie Yan's voice not far away, "Are you awake?"

Luo Jun shook his head and looked over, only to see Xie Yan sitting on the other side by the window reading a book.

Hearing the movement here, he casually put the book on one side of the table, got up and walked towards the bed.

Luo Jun rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and asked, "What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"

Xie Yan chuckled, and said: "You have slept for seven hours, and it is morning now."

Seven hours?Isn't that fourteen hours? !

She was a little shocked and couldn't believe it. She looked out of the window and saw that it was indeed early morning.

"Why have I slept for so long?" Luo Junyao asked doubtfully.

Xie Yan sighed softly, went to the bedside and sat down, raised his hand and touched her forehead and said, "You are sick, don't you feel it? You had a fever in the middle of the night last night."

Luo Junyao felt it carefully, except that his body was a little sore and weak, he really didn't feel anything.

No memory of last night at all.

"I'm all right."

Xie Yan said softly: "I'll send someone to bring food and soup, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Luo Jun shook his head hastily, she just woke up, how could she sleep?

Looking at Xie Yan's obvious fatigue, he knew that he probably didn't sleep well all night because of taking care of himself, "Did you not sleep last night? Why don't you rest for a while?"

Xie Yan said: "It's okay, I'm not tired, are you hungry?"

Luo Junyao nodded honestly. After sleeping for more than ten hours, can he not be hungry?

After a while, Qin Yao'er came over with vegetables, rice and freshly prepared medicine.

The meals are porridge and side dishes that are light and easy to digest, but the smell of medicine only makes people feel that the house is full of fragrance, and there is nothing in the nose except the smell of medicine.

Luo Junyao endured it, and said, "Why don't you give me the medicine first?" The smell won't be so bad after drinking it.

Qin Yao'er glared and said: "Princess, you haven't eaten for a long time, how can you drink medicine?"

Luo Jun shook his face bitterly, you made the whole room smell bad, I can't eat.

Xie Yan glanced at Qin Yao'er and said, "Take it out first, and after Yao Yao has finished eating, someone will bring the medicine again."

Qin Yao'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, anyway, it's not an urgent medicine."

So he really took out the medicine.

While eating, Luo Junyao asked Qin Yao'er who turned around and came in, "What's wrong with me? I don't think there's anything wrong."

Qin Yao'er lay on the table, glanced at Xie Yan who was sitting next to her, and said, "Maybe you are too tired? You are not in good health, you need a good rest."

"..." What's wrong with my health?
Facing her questioning gaze, Qin Yao'er said: "Anyway, you have to listen to the doctor. Your body is not bad compared to those daughters, but it's not much better. It's too hard to run around during this time It's okay, I suddenly feel a little hot after I'm idle, it's not a big problem, just a little adjustment will be fine."

"That's good." After hearing this, Luo Junyao also felt that it made sense. Her body was originally that of a young lady who could do a lot of punching and embroidering her legs, and she had been exercising seriously in the past few months.

During this period of time, I went up and down the mountains and went to the sea, and it was okay to get sick occasionally.

Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan who was sitting next to him, "Yao'er told me I'm fine, Ayan, aren't you busy?"

"Gu Jue is responsible for the war in Yannan, and Jinxing is responsible for Liangzhou. There is really nothing to be busy with."

Luo Junyao looked at him suspiciously, "Just do it if you have something to do. I don't feel uncomfortable, so I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Xie Yan helplessly raised his hand to rub her hair, and said: "If Gu Jue can't even deal with Cao Jie, then don't be the leader of the Zhen Guo army. There is no problem with Gaoyu King City, so I naturally There's nothing wrong."

"You haven't told me yet, what did you do in Gaoyu?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.

She only knew that Xie Yan took Qu Fang to Gao Yu, but she didn't know exactly what Xie Yan did to Gao Yu.

Xie Yan said: "It's nothing, I helped He Ruoqiu."

"You killed King Gao Yu?!" Luo Junyao opened his eyes wide.

Xie Yan said helplessly: "Killing King Gao Yu now will only make the various clans of Gao Yu more united and more hostile to Dasheng."

"Then what did you do?"

Xie Yandao: "The power of the Gaoyu royal family and the major tribes is in a relationship of ebb and flow. He Ruomuti is almost wiped out in the pass, and the power of Gao Yu king will naturally be greatly damaged. In addition, the town of Liangzhou The national army and Jinxing also selectively and severely damaged the soldiers and horses directly belonging to the royal family."

"So, the king's power is weak now?"

Xie Yan nodded and said: "It can be said that King Gao Yu would not be unable to stabilize the situation, but I helped them add fire."

"what have you done?"

Xie Yan said: "I just told that beloved concubine Gao Yu that her son is in my hands."

Luo Junyao changed the question, "What did that Concubine Gao Yu do?"

"She stabbed King Gao Yu in the back at the critical moment of the struggle between King Gao Yu and the Queen. Now He Ruomuti's concubine's natal father and brother have been killed, and the whole family has become slaves of the Gele family. King Gao Yu and the Queen At a stalemate, they were forced to agree to make He Ruoqiu the crown prince."

"So easy?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised.

"Gaoyu was originally a kingdom formed by tribal alliances. Whoever has the most power counts for what he says. Even if it is King Gaoyu, if the power is weaker than his subjects, it is not difficult to be replaced. Now King Gaoyu and Queen are in charge of each other. With half of the power, He Ruoqiuti will inherit the throne in the future, which is already the best choice."

The people of Gaoyu are not very awed by the imperial power like the people of the Central Plains, and it is not a big deal for them to change their family members.

Although the Central Plains Dynasty has always been called Gao Yu, King Gao Yu has changed several surnames, I am afraid they may not remember clearly.

Luo Jun frowned and said: "But, He Ruoqiuti..." He Ruoqiuti really doesn't look like a hero.

Xie Yan said with a smile: "This is what will happen in the future. King Gao Yu won't die for a while."

"Then what about He Ruomuti?" Luo Junyao blinked his eyes, "Am I saving his life too much?"

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "No, you did the right thing. When Yanzhou is completely calmed down, let him go back."

"..."

Now half of King Gaoyu's power has been lost, and He Ruoqiu was forced to appoint He Ruoqiu as the crown prince.

He Ruomuti was considered the fuse and the person most responsible for King Gao Yu's failure, but he was also King Gao Yu's most valued heir.

He Ruomuti still has his own ambitions. If Dasheng gives some support, it is conceivable that Gaoyu King City will be very lively for many years to come.

After breakfast, Luo Junyao was dragged out for a walk by Xie Yan.

As soon as he left the courtyard, he saw Mrs. Han's figure from a distance.

I don't know if he was frightened yesterday, but Han didn't come forward this time, but just bowed to the two from a distance, and then backed away with panic on his face.

That hurried figure seemed to be chasing her with a tiger behind her.

Luo Junyao thought for a while, and finally understood.

She had just lost her temper with Jiang Guanmu and Han Shi last night, but she fell ill that night.Even if Xie Yan didn't say anything, Han would doubt whether her illness was related to what happened yesterday evening.

After all, rich and powerful families and noble ladies are quite prone to "qi disease".

So, how dare to come forward.

Jianling City has returned to its former peace, but the business travelers coming and going have not been restored to the original level, and it seems a bit deserted.

But the pedestrians and street vendors on the street didn't show any panic or worry on their faces. They obviously felt that the sudden war had gone away from them.

The two walked hand in hand on the street, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

The clothes and appearance of both of them were extremely excellent, and ordinary people would not dare to strike up a conversation.

Luo Junyao happily took a candied haws and ate them while walking. The sweet taste put her in a very good mood.

"Yanzhou is fine, are we going to leave Yanzhou next?" Luo Junyao asked while walking.

Xie Yan looked down at her, nodded and said: "The matter of going to see Qingzhou has been settled, it's time to go back to Shangyong."

As soon as Shang Yong was mentioned, Luo Junyao suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

General Luo must have known about her great achievements during this period, Luo Junyao was a little apprehensive: I don't know what my father will think of her strange daughter?
As if knowing what she was worried about, Xie Yan took her hand and said softly: "General Luo will be proud of you, the girls of the Luo family are also women who don't give in to men."

Luo Jun smiled, took a hard bite of the candied haws, and said nothing.

As the two walked, they talked about their respective affairs during the days apart.

Unknowingly, he walked all the way to the bottom of the tower, just in time to see Jiang Guanmu coming down from the tower.

"The general has met the prince and concubine." Jiang Guanmu bowed his hands respectfully.

Xie Yan nodded, and said, "How is the matter going?"

Jiang Guanmu hesitated for a moment, "I would like to report to the lord, the handover has been almost done with General Zhendong."

Xie Yan said: "Very good, after the handover matters are completed, Marquis Yueyang can set off to return to Beijing."

Jiang Guanmu said: "My lord, Jianling City is complicated. General Zhendong is still in charge of the defense of Chixia Pass. Do you need the last general to stay and assist for a period of time?"

Xie Yan said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Lu Hao has been stationed at the border all year round. These things can't help him. When the Yannan war is over, Jiang Yan will be stationed at Chixia Pass for a long time."

Jiang Guanmu lowered his head a little ashamed, "The last general and the Yanzhou army have disappointed the prince."

The Gaoyu people were able to break into the pass without any effort. Apart from Wu Yi's defection to the enemy, the lack of morale of the Yanzhou army was also a big reason.

Jiang Guanmu is slightly lower than Wu Yi in military rank, but his influence as a Lord is not lower than Wu Yi.As the deputy commander of the Yanzhou Army, he actually did nothing but defend Jianling City.

If Jiang Yan and Gu Jue hadn't come in time, maybe even Jianling might not have been able to hold on.

Now the regent has personally transferred one of the main generals of the Zhen Guojun to guard Yanbei, which shows his dissatisfaction and disappointment with them.

Xie Yan's expression was calm, and he didn't show any anger, "The king has been paying attention to the northwest all these years, and he has neglected Yanzhou so much, which made the people of Gaoyu think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of. It is very important for the Marquis of Yueyang to guard Jianling. Congratulations. You have been stationed in Yanzhou for nearly ten years, so it's time to go back."

"Yes, thank you, my lord."

Jiang Guanmu sighed inwardly, saluted the two of them again before leaving.

"Jiang Guanmu is going back to Shangyong?" Luo Junyao asked.

Xie Yan nodded, and said: "The Yanzhou Army's morale is weak and its strength is unbearable. I transferred the Zhen Guojun to garrison Yanbei to guard against the Gaoyu people, and I can also reorganize the Yanzhou Army. Jiang Guanmu has already arrived to return to Beijing. It's time, it's better to go back."

Jiang Guanmu has no dereliction of duty in official affairs, and he is willing to persevere in the face of danger.

Xie Yan didn't even doubt that if the time came to break the city, he would die for the country.

But other than that, he hasn't done much in Yanzhou these years.

The current and future situation in Yanzhou really does not need a general who can only muddle along.

There was also a reason why Wu Yi was chosen to be in charge of the Yanzhou Army instead of Jiang Guanmu, who had a higher status. Jiang Guanmu was not a dude, but he was less aggressive.

When the two climbed up the tower, Luo Junyao couldn't help but sighed, "When they go back, there may be another storm."

Xie Yan looked down at her, and Luo Jun shook his shoulder and said, "I know you don't think this is a big deal, but... If I were Mrs. Yueyang Hou, I would definitely make arrangements for Jiang Guanmu clearly!"

Xie Yan could hear the resentment in her tone, and couldn't help but chuckled: "How does the princess plan to arrange it?"

Luo Junyao raised his eyes and smiled at him, saying: "Eunuch him! Then divorce him, drive him out of the house, let him and that true love love each other for a lifetime."

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "Yueyanghou is the one who takes the initiative. Unless he is voluntary, otherwise... it is impossible to drive him out of the house."

Luo Junyao glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Xie Yan immediately changed his words: "Yao Yao is right, drive him out of the house."

Luo Junyao sighed, of course she knew that Xie Yan was coaxing her.

However, she was not interested in getting angry with Xie Yan for other people's affairs, so she tilted her head and said, "I hope Mrs. Yueyanghou can think about it, and don't be sad for worthless people."

"Before going out, the letter that Shake sent to Die Ying was for Mrs. Yueyanghou?" Xie Yan asked.

Luo Junyao didn't deny it either: "That's right, I told Mrs. Yueyanghou about Jiang Guanmu. Knowing in advance is better than being caught off guard by someone."

"What else was written in the letter?"

Luo Jun rolled his eyes and turned around, but didn't speak.

Xie Yan didn't force her either, but said softly: "Don't worry, with Jiang Che here, Madam Yueyang Hou's life will not be difficult."

Luo Jun said, "You're right." As long as Mrs. Yueyang Hou can think about it, her life will indeed not be sad.

I'm afraid that she will be caught in the illusory relationship between husband and wife and make things difficult for herself.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and said softly: "Mrs. Yueyang Hou can support the entire Hou Mansion by herself, she is not a weak person."

"This king is not Jiang Guanmu, I won't be like him."

Luo Junyao couldn't help but raised his head and stared at him, saying: "Of course you are not him, Jiang Guanmu is not worthy to be compared with you."

Xie Yan chuckled, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, and said softly: "I thought that Yao Yao was worried."

Luo Junyao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he couldn't help standing on tiptoe, bit his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not Mrs. Jiang either, if you dare to be like Jiang Guanmu, I'll kill you."

"Don't dare." Xie Yan sighed lightly, took her into his arms and said, "When Ah Cheng is in charge, I don't have to worry about these things. We will go wherever Yao Yao wants to go."

Luo Jun's eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot the previous discomfort, "Then let's go to Zhangzhou and go out to sea with uncle's caravan?"

Xie Yan nodded and said, "If you like it, it's natural."

"Agreed?"

"It's a word."
