Started to get rich after exile

After receiving the reward, there was a celebration banquet, but He and Bai were in a hurry to return to the frontier, so they did not attend the celebration banquet and left the city overnight.

Only the recruited General Tuoba and other generals are left to deal with it. Some will stay in the capital after being promoted, some will be transferred to other places, and the rest who have not changed will be brought back to the frontier by General Tuoba.

As soon as He Bai and Shan Zhao arrived at the city gate, they bumped into the Tang family's carriage and stood in front of it.

He Bai immediately turned around and said, "Fengchun? Why are you here so late?"

Fengchun bowed respectfully to the two of them, "My lady is waiting for you."

Tang Ning happened to lift the curtain, and the beauty smiled slightly under the moonlight, and said, "Hebai, long time no see."

"Sister Tang Ning! Why are you so beautiful again after not seeing her for a long time! Why are you waiting here for me so late?"

He Bai turned over and dismounted in surprise, threw the reins to Shan Zhao, took three steps at a time and then stepped forward to hug Tang Ning.

Tang Ning smiled and patted her, "I heard during the day that you brought someone back, but I didn't see Wang Ye and Lan Ying. Maybe I haven't received her letter for a long time, and I don't know when you will come out. You are here. Wait for you."

Speaking of Ming Lanying, the smile on He Bai's face faded, "Something happened to my sister-in-law..."

Tang Ning was stunned, He Bai quickly told what happened, and Shan Zhao remained silent. It was obvious that the matter was so serious that neither of them even wanted to add fuel to the fire.

Tang Ning frowned and looked anxious, "Such a big thing has happened. I will go back with you."

He Bai and Fengchun quickly grabbed her, "Sister Tang Ning! Don't you want that? You can't go now!"

Although Fengchun also felt sorry for Ming Lanying, Tang Ning's wedding was approaching and she really couldn't run around.

"Master, you can't go. The princess is guarded by the prince. If you go back and forth, you will delay the wedding!"

Tang Ning had a sullen face, unable to refute. Her marriage was also related to the reputation and relationship between the two families, and there really could not be any mistakes. But now that her good friend was seriously injured and unconscious, she couldn't rest assured.

"I'm worried about Lan Ying. With such a big thing happening to her, how can I get married with peace of mind!"

"Sister Tang Ning, don't worry, my brother will take good care of my sister-in-law. On your wedding day, our whole family will definitely come!"

Fengchun also advised, "Yes, Master, Princess Jiren has her own destiny. She must have woken up now. You rushed over just to take a look at her. Your wedding is approaching and there are still many things to prepare for. Why not... It’s waiting for them.”

Shan Zhao grinned and said, "Yes, the princess's sister-in-law is very powerful! Maybe she will be fine by the time we rush back. Let Hai Dongqing deliver the letter first."

Tang Ning breathed out and suppressed the impatience in her heart. It would take more than two months for her to rush there now. People might be recovered by the time she got there. It was useless for her to rush there in a hurry. It was better to have someone send more things. , and then wait here with peace of mind for them to come.

"That's right. I'm impatient. You go back first. If she's okay, you must write to me as soon as possible."

"Well!" He Bai got on his horse and waved to Tang Ning, "Sister Tang Ning, you go back first. The city gate is about to close, so let's take a step forward."

Tang Ning watched the two of them leave the city at the last moment, her hands clenching her sleeves involuntarily.

"Why is she so careless..."

Fengchun stood beside her to comfort her and said, "The princess must have been very careful, but there are too many people with bad intentions."

Tang Ning looked quietly at the direction the two of them were leaving, "Let's go back too. Open the warehouse and I'll see if there's anything I can give to Lan Ying, and have someone organize the manpower to send it over as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The next day after Ming Lanying woke up, the palace, which had been depressed for half a month, came back to life, as if the gears had found their axis and began to operate.

Shopkeeper Li, who had disappeared for a while, came to the door with various gifts.

"Oh, my princess! You frightened me. I just took advantage of the heavy snow to prevent business and went on a long trip. As soon as I came back, I heard that something had happened to you. Why are you at your doorstep? Something happened!"

This year's heavy snowfall has affected people's daily lives. Everyone is staying at home, and very few people go out. Every shop is closed, so they can take a rest. Shopkeeper Li also temporarily closed the restaurant and took a few people with him. The nursing home went on a long trip.

Ming Lanying smiled reassuringly, "Thanks to you, I'm fine now. Shopkeeper Li can remember me and it's not in vain that we have cooperated for so long. Did Shopkeeper Li go on a long trip smoothly this time?"

Shopkeeper Li drank a cup of tea and took a breath before speaking slowly, "Thanks to you, everything went smoothly. First, I went to my father-in-law's house to fulfill my filial piety, and then visited the merchants I cooperated with to re-order the ingredients and spices. In terms of purchase price and quantity, there are two restaurants that need to be operated now, and the ingredients and spices required are large, and the other party also gave us a great discount and will supply them to us as soon as possible."

When talking about the restaurant, shopkeeper Li talked endlessly and discussed the plans for the new year with her.

It wasn't until Ye Juelu came with the medicine that shopkeeper Li came back to his senses.

"Look at my brain, I suddenly forgot that the princess is still injured. The princess is resting well, so I can leave the affairs of the restaurant to the younger one. The prince and princess will stay, and the younger one will leave first."

Ming Lanying pretended not to see the bowl of rich soup, smiled and said to Shopkeeper Li: "I can rest assured that I will leave it to you, Granny Cai, give it to Shopkeeper Li."

After shopkeeper Li left, the little black panther in Ming Lanying's arms popped up and nuzzled her hand coquettishly.

Ever since Ming Lanying woke up, the little black panther has been clinging to her even more, baring his teeth at the slightest disturbance around her.

Ye Juelu quietly pushed the medicine to her hand, while Ming Lanying pretended not to see it.

"Oh, are you hungry, Xiao Hei? Let me take you to eat!"

Ye Juelu chuckled helplessly, stretched out his hand to gently hold her face, "Madam, it's time to drink the medicine."

Ming Lanying looked up at him aggrievedly, "Ms. sir, I think I'm much better."

Ye Juelu's heart trembled with a sweet cry of "Hang Gong", and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but his tone was still unacceptable.

"No, Mr. Zhao said you are seriously injured and there are still two days left."

It took a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but the medicine prepared by Mr. Zhao was good, and there were many precious medicinal materials in the palace. Ming Lanying's two bone-deep knife wounds were almost healed in less than a month, and now she can only stand up and walk two steps. It won't hurt anymore.

Mr. Zhao was also frightened by her near-death pulse and gave her all kinds of good medicine.

Ming Lanying held the medicine bowl with a sad face, and Ye Juelu held a cup of warm water at the side. He waited quietly for her to finish drinking, then handed the water to her to dilute the bitter taste in her mouth.

"Ugh—my life is so miserable!"

Ming Lanying's face was twisted in pain, but now she was the only one suffering this pain.

Ning'er and the wolf cub ran in with bright smiles on their faces.

"Mom! The bookstore next door has been repaired and can be opened when the weather gets better!"

Ming Lanying hugged Ning'er and hugged her, "Really? Ning'er went to see it and liked it?"

Ning'er nodded, and Ming Lanying thought for a while, "Then I'll leave the affairs of the bookstore to you from now on!"

Ning'er agreed without thinking, and Ming Lanying was surprised, "Do you know what giving the bookcase to you means?"

"I know!" Ning'er patted her chest, "From now on, I have to make my own decisions about the bookstore. I want to run the bookstore just like Shopkeeper Li runs a big restaurant."

Ming Lanying laughed. She was only sensitive to money and knew nothing about business, but Ning'er was more aware than she was.

"Okay, then Ning'er will be the boss of the bookstore from now on. If you are unsure about anything, just talk to your father."

"Yeah!" Ye Juelu looked at the couple cuddling together and had no objection to Ming Lanying's words.

The wolf cub nuzzled at her feet, and Ming Lanying also took a handful of it to comfort it.

"By the way, Hebai and the others should be on the way, right? Do you want to pick them up?"

"It's still early, probably still halfway there."

Ming Lanying blew a whistle, and the melodious whistle spread outside. Hai Dongqing followed the sound and flew to the window edge, looking at her with eagle eyes.

"Let the mistress go explore the road."

When Hai Dongqing heard Minglan Ying's words, he raised one of his wings to show that he had received it, then jumped around, turned around, and flew away with fluttering wings.

Ning'er raised her head and looked at her, "Aunt Hebai still doesn't know about my mother's awakening. She must be returning home as soon as possible."

Ming Lanying chuckled, "That's just right, it will be a surprise when they come back."

Ning'er frowned slightly, "It's all because I'm not strong enough to protect my mother..."

Ming Lanying lowered her head and rubbed his little head, "How could Ning'er think so? Were you scared at that time?"

Ming Lanying still remembered that when she was about to faint, those people were hacked to death in front of Ning'er's eyes. She had always been afraid that Ning'er would be frightened out of the shadows.

Ning'er shook her head, her eyes clear and calm, "I'm not afraid, Ning'er is just afraid that something will happen to my mother."

Ye Juelu nodded lightly at the side. He was worthy of being his son, just like him.

Ming Lanying was so sweet by her son's cute and cool little face, "Ning'er is still young now, mother will protect you first, and then you will protect mother when you grow up, okay?"

Ning'er clenched her fists and turned to look at Ye Juelu, "Daddy, I want to grow up quickly!"

Ye Juelu stretched out his hand and pinched his face without saying a word. After Ning'er became sensible, she learned everything quickly. It was as if she had opened up the two channels of Ren and Du without them having to teach her. She learned various skills by leaps and bounds.

He saw it all.

The reason why Ming Lanying was injured was entirely because he was young and had no actual combat experience, but he was already smart enough to know that escaping was the best option.

Ye Juelu said: "Just keep it now."

Ning'er thought for a moment and made her own arrangements, "After the husband arrives, I will study with him in the morning, go to dad's military camp to study in the afternoon, and study pharmacology with Grandpa Zhao in the evening."

"It's up to you. If you can't hold on any longer, just tell me."

Ye Juelu didn't interfere, and as long as Ning'er didn't go astray, no matter what kind of person he grew up to be in the future, the Yanbei Palace and the fiefdom of Frontier Fortress would be his, and he would have no worries about food and clothing, and a stable life.

Ning'er hugged Ming Lanying's waist and said with a smile: "For my mother, I will try my best to become as powerful as my father!"

Ming Lanying hugged him and patted him gently, "Ning'er can be whatever he wants to be. He is all my mother's precious son."

Seeing her love for Ning'er, Ye Juelu's heart moved and he suddenly asked: "Do you like children?"

"I don't like it. Children are noisy." Ming Lanying replied without thinking: "I only like my baby Ning'er! My baby Ning'er is smart and well-behaved. She can grow on her own without me having to worry about her. It’s so rare! It’s enough for me to have Ning’er!”

The couple laughed happily. Ye Juelu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, touched the small box in his arms, and became more determined.

Ming Lanying was given medicine every day, but her injuries healed within a month, while He Bai and the others were still running back.

Her injuries were completely healed, and the weather was getting better. The snow was still falling, but it wasn't as scary anymore.

The weather is getting better, people are going out to resume their previous lives, and the bookstore can be opened smoothly.

With the Yanbei Palace as the backstage, the prefect as the publicity, and the welfare of the people, the affairs of the bookstore went smoothly.

Ning'er's teacher was still on the way, so he followed Guan Chang to learn how to manage the bookstore.

After all, the bookstore now belongs to him. Ning'er feels that only if he understands how the bookstore works can he manage it better.

Manager Chang found it strange.

When he told Ming Lanying about the same thing, Ming Lanying's eyes turned around and she looked confused and didn't want to care.

Ming Lanying said righteously: "With you two siblings here, I feel more at ease. I will leave the palace to you!"

Everyone in the house knows that Ming Lanying only likes to manage money.

What can Manager Chang say? The master's trust is the best recognition for them.

But with Ning'er, he can understand the key points after listening to it twice, and he can manage it easily.

With such a young master around, Manager Chang felt that he saw hope for the palace.

The winter in the frontier fortress is very long, and spring has begun in other places. There is still light snow in the frontier fortress, but for them, it is already good weather.

The people who were killed also rebuilt their homes with the help of the government. The prefects of each state reported the disaster to Ye Juelu, who issued orders for rectification as appropriate.

The lands of neighboring countries are also under the jurisdiction of Ye Juelu. The imperial edict has not yet been issued, but a secret message from the emperor has already renamed the neighboring countries to neighboring states and incorporated them into the frontier fortress Jiuzhou. The frontier fortress Kyushu became the frontier fortress Shizhou.

He slaughtered all the royal families of neighboring countries, and the remaining bloodlines were locked up in a courtyard to endure torture, each other going crazy, and no one thought of them again.

In the eyes of the people, the change of dynasty is not a big deal as long as it does not affect their lives, and it will pass after a while.

The troops in the neighboring states were all wiped out. Ye Juelu reorganized the 20 troops at the border fortress, replenished the troops, and dispatched [-] troops to guard the neighboring states.

The land in Neighboring State used to be an extremely cold no-man's land, so he was not worried about invasion. Guarding Neighboring State was only to deter those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and cause trouble.

Ye Juelu was not as busy as before. In the morning, he handled government affairs at the palace with Ming Lanying, took Ning'er to the military camp with him in the afternoon, and came back in the evening.

After the family had dinner together, Ning'er went to Zhao Lao's place to study pharmacology, while Ye Juelu went back to the house with Ming Lanying in his arms.

The two of them were just chatting under the quilt. Ming Lanying nestled in his arms, feeling the heat on his body, and raised her head to ask him with some doubts.

"I've been well for so long, why don't you touch me anymore?" Ming Lanying narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "You think the scar on my back is ugly?"

Ye Juelu hugged her waist, caressed her back with his big hands, lowered his head and rubbed her neck.

"You are taking Mr. Zhao's tonic. Mr. Zhao said no, let's wait."

Ming Lanying reluctantly believed it, and Ye Juelu kissed her.

The tonic that Mr. Zhao gave her was simply to replenish her body, and he waited until his medicine was finished.

He didn't want Ming Lanying to take risks.
