Work overtime

It was already late at night when Li Beichen came to visit Jiang Yuebai.

After finalizing the deal with Mrs. Xie, he quickly summoned relevant personnel to arrange everything and prepared for the worst.

The more critical the moment, the calmer and more thoughtful he became.

Jiang Yuebai was not tied to the bed, but lay flat on his back with a quilt and fell asleep quietly.

Under the quilt, her lower body was wrapped tightly like a mummy.

A layer of thick and soft cotton is used on the innermost part to facilitate ventilation and keep blood flowing. The outer part is wrapped with a wider strip of cloth, and the outermost part is wrapped with a narrower strip of cloth. The knees have been specially treated so that they cannot be easily bent while sleeping.

In short, the tightness is just enough to not be tight but to be able to fix her legs and prevent them from moving around.

After covering it with a quilt, there is basically no abnormality. It won't be as miserable and shameful as having your limbs tied to the surrounding bedposts.

All solutions have been thought of.

This idea was inspired by the bandage Jiang Yu put on the emperor's arm, and he and Jiang Yu came up with it together.

Of course, in order to prevent Jiang Yuebai from tearing the wound in pain, he failed. Jiang Yu gave Jiang Yuebai some Ecstasy Powder produced by the system.

Such an approach is risky.

But both of them agreed that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and it was worth trying once, first to stabilize the first three days.

Su Su found the Lost Soul Powder in Jiang Yuebai's pocket and gave it to Han Ziqian.

There are three words on the bottle, "Mei Hun San", and then the function and usage are engraved in very small characters. The effect of this medicine is so powerful that just a powder the size of a mung bean can make people lose consciousness and sleep for three days.

Jiang Yu and Han Ziqian were both very curious about how Jiang Yuebai, a harem empress, could have such a thing.

What did Concubine Jianing originally plan to do? Did he charm the other concubines during the palace fight and then throw them into the well?
  This powerful thing must not be a secret weapon owned by a murderous thief, a flower-picking thief, or a craftsman who walks in the dark.

This powerful Ecstasy was combined with a heaven-defying wound-healing ointment, a magical telescope, a sword as sharp as iron, and a suicide note that suggested vigorously developing firearms. The more Han Ziqian thought about it, the more something was wrong.

These things look very much like military equipment and have very strong military uses.

What is the identity of Concubine Jianing? Is it a trick sent by the enemy?
  But this is very wrong. She went through life and death many times for the royal family and saved the emperor's life many times.

Or the person sent by the mysterious organization called "Tianheng" in folklore to protect the emperor.

Legend has it that it was originally created by Mozi. Through various extraordinary technical means, they protect the sage monarch they believe is worthy of allegiance, or help civilian heroes overthrow the foolish monarch they believe is tyrannical and unjust.

When Han Ziqian expressed his guess, he was questioned by Jiang Yu because it could not explain why there was a light yellow halo behind Concubine Jianing that was exactly the same as that of Buddha and Bodhisattva.

And it can't be his own hallucination. Many people saw it at that time.

In fact, Han Ziqian also saw it. However, this clue was missed during the analysis just now.

Therefore, the two of them were very uncertain but unanimously thought that Concubine Jianing would be like what was said in "The List of Gods". She was a fairy sent by God to come down to earth and endure calamities to help the emperor overcome difficulties and start a prosperous era. .

If this is the case, it is not surprising that Concubine Jianing has various magical weapons. It also makes sense to protect the royal family without fear of life or death, regardless of gain or loss.

They also had common concerns.

In this case, will Concubine Jianing complete the suppression of the rebellion and return to heaven to become a god? Otherwise, why would he write a suicide note in advance and predict that the emperor will create an unprecedented prosperous era in the future? You know, ordinary people are very taboo about mentioning death, especially when they are seriously ill.

Li Beichen sat on the edge of the collapse, holding Jiang Yuebai's hand and staring at her quietly.

Her skin is porcelain white and smooth, her long hair is black and smooth, as beautiful as peach blossoms because of the fever, her brows are tightly knitted revealing confusion and pain, and she is as fragile as glass.

It is impossible not to make men develop a strong desire to protect.

He listened to Jiang Yu's detailed report on Jiang Yuebai's injury and treatment process, including the use of dangerous goods to avoid tearing the wound and reduce pain.

Han Ziqian showed both letters to the emperor. The emperor ordered everyone to hide Jiang Yuebai as much as possible.

After telling Han Ziqian the location of the Lu family in the palace, Han Ziqian arranged for her to bring things to communicate with her stepmother, arranged for someone to retrieve Jiang Jingxian's manuscripts from Jiangnan, imitated his handwriting and tone, and replied to Jiang Yuebai with brief letters at intervals. .

Under the threat of Han Ziqian, Jiang Yu anxiously reported to the emperor their speculations: Jiang Yuebai might be a goddess sent by God to help him achieve great things, otherwise it would be difficult to explain all the abnormalities since she entered the palace. Li Beichen took the letter Jiang Yuebai left for him. He read it over and over again and couldn't bear to put it down.

Especially the sentence "I will feel very distressed for you" touched his heart. Jiang Yuebai's tone and demeanor when he said this came to mind, and he felt soft in his heart.

How many people in this harem would truly feel sorry for him and understand his hardships? How many people can share the joys and sorrows with him through life and death? Most of them are under the shadow of their parents and only care about their own psychological feelings and favored status.

Two of the people in the harem who truly loved him have passed away, and one was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

There was a dull pain in his heart, and he felt lonely as never before.

But if he knew that this was just an emotional card Jiang Yuebai played with his younger brother to please Li Beichen, a technique he used in his previous life when asking superiors to do things, he would definitely feel even more lonely.

This time, the Tatars took advantage of the internal rebellion to launch a surprise attack. Although Li Beichen was determined to win, he was prepared for both.

He has left a posthumous edict to pass the throne to Li Beihong, appointing Prime Minister Meng's daughter as the queen, and appointing Prime Minister Meng on the left, Prime Minister Murong Chi on the right, and Huang Shao'an of Dali Temple as ministers to take care of life in case of unexpected events.

After all, he also has an uncle from the Seventh Emperor, King Liuyang, who is very capable of giving birth to sons. With six adult sons now, it is difficult to guarantee whether someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble. In addition, Prime Minister Chen fled and his whereabouts are unknown.

At this time, he had not given birth to a prince to succeed him.

If he dies, and if he leaves no edict to appoint his younger brother to succeed him, there is no need to rebel. As the emperor's third legitimate son, the emperor's uncle may choose one of his two legitimate sons to be elected as the new emperor by the ministers.

There are still many uncertainties.

With so many people in the palace, he was most worried about Zhen Jieyu and Jiang Yuebai.

If the younger brother ascends the throne, the country and the country can be stabilized. But it would be very embarrassing if the child in Zhen Jieyu's belly was a boy.

And Jiang Yuebai's leg injury was so serious that it would probably take a year and a half of careful treatment and care using the best medicinal materials to recover.

But she continued to stay in the palace without any name or status. If you leave the harem, you will have only your stepmother, no one to rely on, and no home to return to. Even if they found a royal courtyard for her in the capital, arranged for guards to protect her, and provided her with medical treatment, she would still be alone.

She has killed so many people for the royal family. If there is an enemy seeking revenge, what will she do if she is injured? Who will protect her?

Li Beichen looked at Jiang Yuebai worriedly and held her hand tightly.

No, this dynasty needs him to be at the helm. This woman who has given everything for him needs his protection. He can only win but not lose.

He thought of Jiang Yu's speculation that Jiang Yuebai might be a deity coming to earth to help him survive the crisis, of Yuan Tianshi's prophecy that she was a lucky star, and of Jiang Yuebai's words in the letter to him.

He couldn't help but said, "Jiaojiao, you must not die. No matter what the situation, you must live, heal your injuries, and wait for my triumphant return. I want to create a prosperous world with you. You are so smart, how can I live without you."

Jiang Yu told him that Jiang Yuebai was in a coma at this time, with his five senses closed and probably unable to hear sounds.

Li Beichen thought for a while, walked to the table, and gently touched the blue cover on the table, which was his "Collection of Thoughts".

Han Ziqian waited quietly on the side while the ink was polished, and Li Beichen wrote what he just said in his heart into a letter, put it in an envelope, and carefully sealed it with wax oil.

He looked at Han Ziqian and Jiang Yu with deep eyes, "Young Master Han, envoy Jiang, I will hand over Concubine Jianing to you right now. You must take good care of her before I come back."

Han Ziqian and Jiang Yu immediately knelt on the ground, "I obey the decree. Your Majesty will definitely win the battle, and the victorious troops will return to the court."

Li Beichen put his left hand behind his back and held the letter in his right hand. After thinking for a moment, he still felt it was not enough, so he added another one.

"Han Ziqian, apart from me, from now on, you will only take orders from Concubine Jianing. Wherever Concubine Jianing is, you will be there. Your mission is to protect Concubine Jianing's safety. Do you understand?"

"I obey the order." Han Ziqian kowtowed seriously to show that he really understood.

"Read this letter to Concubine Jianing when she wakes up."

After Han Ziqian took the letter with both hands, Li Beichen waved his hand, "You guys go out first and wait for me outside."

After they left, Li Beichen kissed Jiang Yuebai's hot lips, held her hand and sat quietly, staring at her face, carefully carving her appearance into his mind.

He leaned over and said in her ear, "Jiaojiao, wait for me to come back."
