Started to get rich after exile

Mr. Zhao's medicine worked very well, and the wound on her back was already healing after lying there for half a month, but Ming Lanying's super-doubled pain-sensing nerves prevented her from moving, so she could only lie there and endure the slightest bit of pain.

Dongxia had breakfast and was on the way here. Ye Juelu still went to Mr. Zhao to ask for painkillers. Mr. Zhao frowned and gave him the medicine with a few more instructions.

"It's good to wake up. After these two days, your body will get used to the pain and it will be fine. Don't take more painkillers. Take one every three hours, and a maximum of two pills a day."

Ye Juelu nodded, and Mr. Zhao sighed.

"She is so afraid of pain. The pain from these two cuts made her almost die. How did she give birth to Ning'er in the first place? The pain of a woman giving birth is a hundred times more painful than the injuries sustained on the battlefield. If you have children again in the future what to do?"

Ye Juelu was stunned. The Ming Lanying now was not the Ming Lanying before. Mr. Zhao's words reminded him of this problem.

Now she is a sensitive and pain-free person. He only remembers that she said that she would not give birth to a child by herself. Now he does not dare to let her give birth to a child. He has to find a way to give birth to a child by himself.

They already have skin-to-skin intimacy. Judging from his last performance, Ming Lanying should be very satisfied. From now on, their intimacy will only increase, and the chance of having children will be high.

Ye Juelu held the medicine bottle and was silent for a moment, then asked something that shocked Mr. Zhao's outlook on life.

"Is there any way for men to have children?"

Mr. Zhao was stunned, his mind went blank for a moment, he looked at him in disbelief, his voice was vicissitudes of life, "How...how could you have such an idea?"

Ye Juelu never regretted what he said, but he knew it was impossible, so he explained.

"She is afraid of pain. Giving birth to Ning'er was an accident. Now I don't dare to let her have a child, but I can't let her take the decoction to avoid the child. It is not good for her health."

Ye Juelu looked at Mr. Zhao with hopeful eyes. Mr. Zhao felt inexplicably stressed by being stared at, but he still calmly squinted his eyes and smoothed his beard.

"You really don't plan to have children? Then you will only have Ning'er, and you won't have many children..."

Ye Juelu looked at him. The man who looked like a murderer on the battlefield was speaking ridiculous words with a serious face at the moment.

"If you could make it possible for men to have babies, I'd consider getting two more."

Anyway, he has rough skin and thick flesh. If he can, it is not impossible for him to give birth to a child for Ming Lanying.

"...The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Mr. Zhao glanced at him with disgust, turned around and rummaged around in the medicine cabinet.

"Although I don't have a way to make a man have children, I do have a way to make a man have no children. After two rounds, no matter what happens in the future, you will never have children again."

Mr. Zhao rummaged around and finally found a vermilion box in the corner with a seal on it.

"You have to think clearly. If Ning'er only has one child in the future, have you ever thought about how the family's bloodline will continue?"

Ye Juelu took the box without hesitation and carefully held it in his arms.

"I know better than anyone why the Ye family is gone. In this case, what do I want the family to do? The Yanbei Palace holds military power. In order to stabilize the imperial power and the balance in the court, they will not allow the Ye family to revive. The Ye family's It's enough to have Ning'er in my blood, I can't lose Lan Ying because of my future children."

Mr. Zhao sighed silently. He was over fifty and had experienced so many things. He no longer had the old-fashioned and pedantic principles in his heart. Otherwise, he would have to lecture Ye Juelu.

He waved his hand lazily and said, "Go back. This box contains ten days' supply for you, once in the morning and once in the evening. Come to me after eating and I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. There is no need to let her know about this."

Of course Mr. Zhao understood who she was, and he was not a talkative person. Before Ye Juelu left, he thought of something important and came back to tell him.

"Dongxia is coming to see Lanying later, so be prepared."

"what!?"

Mr. Zhao turned around in surprise, but Ye Juelu was nowhere to be seen, and he knocked the ground with his crutch angrily.

Dong Xia will definitely be emotional when she comes to see Ming Lanying now. She has finally taken good care of her body, so don't let anything go wrong at this time!
"Everyone is careless!"

When the servants heard that Ming Lanying had woken up, they were not happy for a long time. They also received news that Lady Meng was coming, and the whole government was on alert!
The relationship between Lady Meng and the princess is as good as real sisters. The news of the princess's injury has been hidden from Lady Meng. Now she has just woken up. Lady Meng is about to come with a dangerous pregnancy. The servants are frightened. If something unexpected happens, no matter what Whether it is the princess or Lady Meng, the entire palace will be buried with her!

Aunt Cai received an order from Ming Lanying.

"If someone brings a screen over, tell her I'm very cold and don't let her get close to me."

Aunt Cai quickly led her servants to set up arrangements. The room was full of smart maids. She put down the bed curtains and bead curtains to block the outside view, and the [-]-fold screen made it difficult for people to see what was going on inside.

Ming Lanying took painkillers and felt relieved for a while, but she still couldn't suppress the pain, but she was able to sit up and hold on for a while.

Mr. Zhao rushed to Ming Lanying's yard before winter and summer. As soon as they finished talking together, winter and summer arrived.

"Sister-in-law, you are finally home, here I come!"

Meng Huaisu helped Dongxia into the house. When he turned the corner, he saw the screen in front of the bed, and the sound of Ming Lanying's slight coughing could be heard from behind.

Dongxia frowned, and nervously took two steps forward, trying to go around, but was pulled back by Meng Huaisu.

Mr. Zhao waved to Dongxia from the side and wanted to feel her pulse, so Meng Huaisu took her over and sat down.

Dongxia had no choice but to ask through the screen: "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Why are you separated?"

Mr. Zhao felt for his pulse and explained: "Your sister-in-law has a cold, so it's for your own good to keep her away from her, so don't get close to her."

Ming Lanying said weakly: "I went out with you, Brother Ye, and caught a cold. It's okay. I'll be fine soon. Don't come close to me yet, for fear that the illness will be transmitted to you."

"Let me see……"

Dongxia wanted to go over and take a look worriedly, but Mr. Zhao glared at her and didn't let her get up.

"I'm here. What are you worried about? I've already prescribed medicine for her. She'll be fine after just two days of drinking."

Ye Juelu just came in with the medicine, nodded to Meng Huaisu and the others, walked around the screen, opened the curtain, and carefully fed her the medicine.

Dongxia heard Ye Juelu's voice coming from inside, "Your sister-in-law is fine. Just sit there and talk to her. She's afraid of passing on her illness to you."

Having said that, Dongxia had no choice but to feel relieved, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Brother Ye. You have regained a neighboring country so quickly. The emperor will definitely give you a big reward!"

Ming Lanying was so bitter from the medicine that her eyes were filled with tears. Ye Juelu quickly stuffed a candied fruit for her. The bitter taste in her mouth was suppressed. Ming Lanying chewed the sweet candied fruit and said to Dong Xia.

"It's time to celebrate. He Bai and Shan Zhao have returned to Beijing to receive their rewards. Let's celebrate together when they come back."

Dongxia nodded and saw the little sparrow flying to the door to keep warm. She remembered something, "By the way, something happened at the city gate some time ago. There was such a big noise. I heard it at home. I heard the maid said that something happened. Make some trouble and let the palace guards sort it out, sister-in-law, do you know?"

"Ah?" Ming Lanying scratched her face. Fortunately, she was blocked and Dongxia couldn't see her guilty expression. "You know, they came to report it. It just collapsed. The people are fine." "It's very cold this year. It seems that there is snow everywhere. I wanted to come two days ago, but it snowed heavily and blocked the road. Today I came out and saw no one on the street, but there were no homeless people freezing to death on the roadside. , fortunately fortunately..."

Dongxia hadn't seen Ming Lanying for a long time, and she couldn't finish talking when they met. Ming Lanying also wanted to chat with her, but the pain in her body was so severe that she wanted to be distracted, so she had to secretly take another painkiller pill. They only lasted until Dongxia and Meng Huaisu left.

As soon as Dong Xia left, Ming Lanying gasped lightly and lay down slowly. Ye Juelu kissed her distressedly, but could not relieve her pain and could only accompany her.

Ming Lanying paused for a long time, looked at Ye Juelu's frown, and said with a smile: "He Bai and Shan Zhao have returned to Beijing to receive the reward, how can you still be here? You should be going too, right?"

"I have asked the mistress to send a letter to the emperor. The emperor will understand me and He Bai will bring my reward back."

"Can you collect it on your behalf?"

"It's okay for good reason."

This kind of important event where the emperor awards a reward usually requires one to be present in person, and there are very few people who can accept it on their behalf. Ming Lanying gently hooked his hand with her fingers, "Then what is your reason? Lost your wife?"

Ye Juelu was dissatisfied with her talking about him like this, but he was afraid that she would be hurt and could not give her any substantial punishment. Finally, he lowered his head and kissed her hard.

"Don't talk nonsense. I told the emperor that you were seriously injured by an assassin from a neighboring country because of me. Your life is hanging by a thread. Please allow me to stay with you. He Bai will receive the reward on your behalf. You have helped him, and it is also the empress's personal decree. , what happened to you was also because of me, the emperor is reasonable and will not refuse to agree."

In Ye Juelu's letter, he also reported to the emperor that he had massacred the royal family of a neighboring country. Although he had killed him first and reported it later, he did not panic at all.

"Okay, who made you and the emperor have a friendship that grew up together? He Bai and the others should be promoted this time, right? When He Bai and the others come back, I will be fine, and Dong Xia will be pregnant, and then all the big things will come together , let’s celebrate together.”

When Ming Lanying thought about it, she suddenly felt that her body didn't hurt that much anymore.

"Do you think He Bai and Shan Zhao will get married by the way? I think it's possible. Shan Zhao relied on his shamelessness to entangle He Bai, and it was very effective, hehe..."

Ye Juelu felt happy when he saw her smiling and expectant look.

"Yes, as long as they don't mention breaking off the engagement, the emperor will take this opportunity to grant them a direct marriage."

"Then will He Bai follow Shan Zhao back to the border?"

"I don't know. It depends on her own wishes. No one can restrain her."

Ming Lanying thought for a while. The border pass and the frontier fortress were far apart, spanning the entire country. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the ends of the earth.

If He Bai followed Shan Zhao to live at the border, she would probably have very few opportunities to see He Bai in the rest of her life, which was still a little sad to think about.

Ye Juelu saw what she was thinking, took off his shirt, kicked off his shoes, and lay down next to her carefully.

"He Bai might let Shan Zhao enter his wife's palace."

Ming Lan was delighted, "He is the son of the Shan family. Will the Shan family agree?"

"Of course I agree!"

In the court, Brother Shan Zhao said loudly.

He came over from the border with his parents' orders. No matter whether Shan Zhao married He Bai and returned to the border or stayed with He Bai at the border, Shan Zhao's family fully supported it.

After receiving Shan Zhao's letter, the Shan family immediately held a family meeting to discuss Shan Zhao's marriage.

He Bai's current status was unusual. Not only was he recognized personally by Prince Yanbei as his sister, but she was also a high-ranking military attache in the court. She was recognized by the emperor. After regaining the neighboring country this time, she was promoted to an official position and gained some real power.

This is something that is real and practical, much more practical than the false support from one’s mother’s family.

Before, General Shan shamelessly asked Shan Zhao to marry him because she was the person Shan Zhao had been talking about since childhood and she was Ye Juelu's younger sister.

Now it seems that he had foresight and there were many benefits to marrying He Bai. In this way, the identity of the You family is only dispensable.

Therefore, the Shan family sent eldest brother Shan Zhao to represent them non-stop, and took advantage of their return to Beijing to award the reward, so that the emperor could grant the marriage openly and openly, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.

The expressions of He Bai and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were the same, they were shocked, stunned and a little bit unbelievable.

The emperor suppressed his laughter and said sternly: "I ask again, Shan Zhao, have you figured it out? General Hebai does not marry, but only takes a son-in-law. Are you still willing?"

Shan Zhao looked at the emperor with a smile, "If she doesn't marry me, it's okay for me to marry her! Your Majesty, your imperial edict has been written a long time ago, and I won't make it difficult for you. You can just read the edict directly. I have no objection." .”

The emperor's eyes moved towards Brother Shan Zhao, "What about the Shan family?"

"No objection at all!"

The Shan family is luxuriant, including Shan Zhao. For the Shan family, finding a mutually agreeable person is a hundred times more difficult than winning a hundred battles on the battlefield and making a complete triumph. Naturally, we must cherish it. As for marrying or marrying, it's just a name, the Shan family doesn't care.

As long as Shan Zhao and He Bai get along well, it is not impossible to "marry" He Bai.

Upon hearing his eldest brother's words, Shan Zhao glanced at He Bai with a pensive look, and he relied on her!

The emperor glanced at the stunned He Bai, "What do you think, General He Bai? Shan Zhao agreed to 'marry' you."

What else could He Bai do? He promised that he would be responsible for him before he came, but he didn't expect that the Shan family and Shan Zhao would even accept the marriage.

"I...have no objection."

The emperor put his hands on his hands and laughed, "This is so good, I am too lazy to change the imperial edict, Defu, read it."

Defu read out the imperial edict of marriage with a smile, and the marriage between He Bai and Shan Zhao was officially decided.

The emperor gave him a great reward, and He Bai was promoted to a fifth-grade general, able to manage fifty thousand troops. Many rights were opened up, and his salary increased a lot every year.

Shan Zhao is no longer a lieutenant colonel in the army, but a legitimate fifth-grade general, with the same rank and authority as He Bai, but he is no longer a general of the Shan family, but a person under Ye Juelu.

Ye Juelu was granted the title of a first-class prince with a different surname. He did not have to hand over the frontier military talisman, and all 20 troops were under his control. He was renamed King of Yan. The fiefdom was still the frontier Kyushu, plus all the land in the territory.

The fiefdom of King Yan is the largest in so many years, and it can form a new country. There are still 20 soldiers in hand. All of these are given to Ye Juelu, which is the emperor's extreme trust.

However, the officials believed that the emperor blindly trusted him and advised him to think twice. Some people even vaguely believed that Ye Juelu was the master of great power.

"That land is an extremely cold place, vast and sparsely populated, but it is also my country and people. Without the protection of King Yan, it would have become the territory of other countries long ago. Do you think there is anyone else who can compare with Yan?" Is the king more capable of governing that area?"

No one in the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dared to say anything. The border fortress had been subconsciously classified as a hard and cold place by them. Anyone who held an official position there would be demoted.

The emperor sneered. He knew very well the virtues of this group of people and could only talk about them.
