Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

In the tent where Yang Qingqing lived.

"Ok?"

Yang Qingqing woke up from a deep sleep. After taking a quick look at her surroundings, she realized that she was in her own tent, in full military uniform. She began to recall her memories before she fell asleep. It seemed that she had fallen asleep inexplicably. Suddenly, a feeling of fear filled her heart, and she was so scared that she quickly got up.

At this moment, the female official she brought from the palace rushed into Yang Qingqing's tent and said urgently, "Empress Zhao, it's bad. Something happened in the prison. The guards there sent a message saying that the Marquis of Hongdu County committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment."

"what?"

Hearing this, Yang Qingqing felt her head spinning. The next second, everything went dark in front of her eyes. Her consciousness became empty and blurry, and she fell on the bed.

"Empress, Empress Zhao Fei. Imperial physician, please call the imperial physician quickly, Empress Zhao Fei has fainted." The female official said in panic.

There are imperial physicians accompanying the army.

"It's nothing serious. According to your description, it should be due to excessive psychological stimulation that caused the fainting. You should be able to wake up soon."

Nalan Yiren said after taking Yang Qingqing's pulse.

The female official breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she found that Yang Qingqing's fingers moved and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Nalan Yiren also noticed it and looked over.

Yang Qingqing opened her eyes and heard the female official's voice: "Madam, you are awake? That's great. You scared me to death just now."

The female official's words instantly connected Yang Qingqing's memory before she fainted. Her expression changed, and she suddenly reached out and grabbed the female official's arm, saying, "Dad? What happened to my dad? What happened to him?"

The female official glanced at Nalan Yiren and then repeated what she had said before.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qingqing's eyes instantly turned red. She got up in a panic, without any shoes on, only silk stockings on her feet. She stumbled off the bed and headed towards the prison.

The female official took Yang Qingqing's shoes, trotted after her, and supported her.

……

When Yang Qingqing arrived.

Wu Yanqing was in the prison, and he shouted coldly at the soldiers guarding Yang Xian's cell: "What do you do for a living? How could the Marquis of Hongdu County die suddenly in the prison?"

Wu Yanqing also replaced these two soldiers with his own personal soldiers.

The two soldiers looked at each other, then knelt down with a thud, knocking their heads repeatedly: "General, please forgive me. The Marquis of Hongdu County knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he asked us for poison. We were also hot-headed, so we agreed to his request."

Wu Yanqing kicked the soldier who had spoken hard and shouted coldly, "Brain fever? Do you think you can shirk your guilt by saying brain fever? Don't you know that the county marquis is an important criminal? Who gave you the guts?"

When Yang Qingqing saw this scene, her face turned even paler. With the help of the female official, she quickly walked to the cell where her father was imprisoned.

In the cell, a corpse covered with a white cloth lay quietly.

Seeing this, Yang Qingqing trembled violently, and walked over tremblingly to lift the white cloth from top to bottom. After seeing the face of the corpse clearly, Yang Qingqing sat down on the ground in fear, her lips trembling. After a moment, she broke down and cried.

Wu Yanqing glanced at Yang Qingqing, his brows furrowed, and his voice deliberately became louder: "Come here, take the two of them away, escort them back to the capital, and hand them over to His Majesty for disposal."

"promise."

Two soldiers agreed and tried to go forward and drag the two soldiers away.

"Wait." Yang Qingqing stopped them. With the help of the female official, she stood up and turned around. With tears in her eyes, she stared at Wu Yanqing for a long time. Finally, she moved her eyes to the two soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with blood on their foreheads. Then she pointed at the corpse next to her and shouted coldly:
"I'm asking you, did he really know that he was guilty of a serious crime and asked you for poison, and then committed suicide by taking it?"

"My Lady Consort Zhao, yes, indeed."

"Look up and say something."

"Replying to Empress Zhao, it is indeed so."

"No one is instructing you?"

"No one ordered it."

"What a man without anyone to direct him."

Yang Qingqing's voice was cold, then her face became serious. She raised her hand and a stream of spiritual energy shot towards the two of them.

But at the critical moment, he was stopped by Wu Yanqing.

Yang Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at Wu Yanqing, questioning him.

Wu Yanqing bowed and said, "Empress Zhao, His Majesty doesn't know about this yet. We have to escort them back to the capital first and let His Majesty inquire about the matter before making any further decisions. I'm afraid your move is inappropriate."

"inappropriate?"

Yang Qingqing had no intention of killing these two people. After all, they were important witnesses, and she was just testing them just now.

She is not stupid, this matter must be related to Wu Yanqing.

"General Wu, the guards in this cell were all your men. Now he has died a violent death, and you are trying to fool me by saying he committed suicide out of fear of punishment? How dare you say this has nothing to do with you?" Yang Qingqing's eyes were red and tears were swirling in her sockets. If looks could kill, Wu Yanqing would have died a thousand times already.

As the head of the Wu family in Jiangdong, Wu Yanqing was already very cunning. In front of an old fox like him, Yang Qingqing was simply not worthy of him, and he answered easily:

"I am indeed responsible for this matter. If I had not been negligent, careless, or lazy, this would not have happened. After returning to the capital, I will personally apologize to Your Majesty."

Seeing him evading the main issue, Yang Qingqing was filled with resentment towards Wu Yanqing. She almost gnashed her teeth and said, "I hope you really didn't instigate this. His Majesty has never issued any decree for his death. If I find out that you are involved in this matter, I will never forgive you!"

"Walk."

After Yang Qingqing finished speaking, she left.

Dad has been murdered.

My brothers, nothing can happen to them anymore.

……

Shu Mansion, Jiang House.

Jiang Li was wearing a plain robe and holding a brush, practicing calligraphy at the desk. However, he was a little distracted at the moment, and even the words he wrote were affected and did not look very good.

After a while, he saw his son Jiang Yu coming from outside, approaching him in a panic and said, "Dad, something big happened?"

"explain."

"The county marquis committed suicide in prison this morning out of fear of punishment."

"what?"

pat.

Hearing this, Jiang Li was suddenly startled and the brush in his hand fell onto the paper, smearing the words he had written. His brows were tightly furrowed in disbelief.

He is not a three-year-old.

You know that the so-called suicide out of fear of punishment is definitely not as simple as it seems, but someone wants Yang Xian to die.

It was precisely because of this that he was extremely shocked.

According to his previous guess, Yang Xian's final fate would be to be escorted back to Beijing and then imprisoned for life, but he would not die.

Unexpectedly, he is dead now.

Especially when Concubine Zhao is here.

"It seems that the Majesty of Tianchuan is more capable than I imagined."

"What else do you want?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Cruel." Jiang Li said in his heart.

……

Capital.

This day, the fifth day of the eleventh month, was the day when Chang En, Cui Shuang and others led the troops from the Youzhou border back to the capital.

Of course, there is no need to worry that Chang'en and the others will return to Beijing and there will be no one guarding the border.

Chen Mo had already sent the people to take over the shift.

On the towering city walls, teams of soldiers wearing shining helmets and armor, holding spears and swords on their waists, stood on the city walls with dignified faces. The howling cold wind could not break their will, and their eyes were bright and sharp.

Tens of thousands of Wei border soldiers advanced slowly, and the brightly colored flags representing the three guards of bravery, valor, and vanguard force fluttered and swayed in the cold wind.

Geng Songfu, on behalf of Chen Mo, together with Zuo Lianglun, Chen Xiu and the heads of the six ministries, went out of the city to welcome Chang'en and others.

"General Chang'en and General Cui, welcome back to Beijing. You have worked hard on the journey. His Majesty has prepared a welcoming banquet for you soldiers in the palace. Please come in," Geng Songfu said eagerly.

After years of training in the army, Chang'en is no longer the young man who just came out of Longgui Mountain and didn't know the ways of the world. He has also learned how to deal with people in the army and officials without showing any fear.

He smiled and chatted with Geng Songfu as they headed towards the city.

royal palace.

Harem.

Chen Mo paced back and forth anxiously outside Chu Ran's bedroom.

Under the eaves, several palace maids and midwives were carrying basins of hot water in their hands and going in and out with hurried looks.

Xu Ying, Chu Juan, Ningpin, Huipin and Lanpin, surrounded by their respective palace maids, stood under the eaves of the corridor, listening to the voices from inside, their faces full of envy.

"Is it born? Is it born? Is it born? Sister Jingfei is giving birth?" At this time, Xiao Yunxi, who was closest to Chu Ran in the harem, was wearing a cloak and hurried over against the cold wind.

"Greetings, Sister Concubine Yi." Xu Ying, Concubine Ning, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Lan bowed to Xiao Yunxi when they saw her.

Chu Juan called out calmly, "Empress Yi."

Then he said that there was still life inside.

Xiao Yunxi, who knew the general situation, came to Chen Mo and told him what happened just now: "Your Majesty, Shu'er just woke up and was hungry. I rushed over immediately after feeding Shu'er."

"It's okay. There are so many people looking after us in the palace. Don't be anxious, Yunxi." Chen Mo told Xiao Yunxi not to be anxious, but he himself was extremely anxious.

After all, Chu Ran is weak, has no experience in having children, and has a small frame.

In the bedroom.

"Push harder, your majesty, please push harder." Granny Wen beside the bed said in Chu Ran's ear.

There were also palace maids who would use a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Chu Ran's face from time to time.

But even so, in such a cold day, her palace skirt was still soaked with sweat. Her bright face was a little pale at the moment. She bit her lower lip, and her forehead was covered with sweat, and wrinkles appeared on it due to the exertion.

"My lady, push harder, the baby's head is coming out"

"It's bleeding, bring a towel."

"No, there's a lot of blood."

"Hold on, my lady, don't sleep."

Outside the hall, Chen Mo stopped and frowned.

With his perception, he could hear some movement in the room.

Soon, a midwife with blood on her hands came out of the hall in a panic. When she saw Chen Mo, she said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, it's bad. The queen is bleeding heavily and can't stop it."

"What?" Xiao Yunxi, who was praying for Chu Ran, was shocked.

Xu Ying and the others' expressions also changed.

Something happened?
"Call all the female doctors. Yunxi, go call Mi'er over." After Chen Mo gave the instructions, he rushed into the bedroom where Chu Ran was giving birth, despite everyone's objection.

In the palace.

The palace maids and midwives were already busy.

The child had already been born, but the midwife didn't cry no matter how hard she pinched her. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her head.

On the other side, Chu Ran was still bleeding heavily and the bleeding could not be stopped. Chu Ran had already fainted.

When he saw Chen Mo coming in, he wanted to salute again.

Chen Mo stopped them with his eyes and asked them to mind their own business. Then he came to the couch and looked at Chu Ran, whose face was as pale as paper and who had fainted. His eyes were full of heartache.

He quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms. There was only a pill in the bottle. After pouring it out, he quickly fed it into Chu Ran's mouth.

This was the elixir that Nalan Yiren had given him before, to replenish his qi and blood.

Now that Chu Ran has lost too much blood, Chen Mo can only use it on her first.

Then he held her hand and transferred her innate spiritual energy bit by bit.

Wu Mi studied medicine.

The Nalanyi people are proficient in both poison and medicine.

Chen Mo, who was close to them, also understood some basic medical knowledge over a long period of time.

"Your Majesty, the bleeding has slowed down." A palace maid saw the latest situation and hurried to report.

"Give way, give way."

At this time, the female doctor from the palace also came over and stepped forward to check on Chu Ran's condition.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wu Mi also hurried over.

From her thin clothes, you can tell how anxious she was when she came.

At the same time, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau also arrived and was waiting outside.

But there are differences between men and women, and Chu Ran's identity is also special. Unless he encounters a situation that even Wu Mi and the female doctors cannot handle, he will not be used for the time being.

After a busy period of work by Wu Mi and the female doctors, the bleeding finally stopped.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the midwife holding the baby started crying anxiously.

Chu Ran gave birth to a girl.

But this time she stopped crying.

"I'm here to take a look." Wu Mi didn't mind the remaining amniotic fluid and blood on the baby's body, and took the baby in her arms to examine him.

The reason why Wu Mi studied medicine was because her biological mother died in childbirth. After studying medicine, she was most proficient in this area of ​​medicine. After a careful examination, she quickly found the problem.

After some treatment, Wu Mi used a little force and pinched the baby girl's arm. After a while, the baby girl burst into tears with a particularly loud voice.

Hearing the baby girl crying, the midwife who was about to burst into tears just now breathed a sigh of relief and kept muttering: "It's okay if she cries, it's okay if she cries."

"Mi'er, is Concubine Jing okay?" Seeing that the bleeding had stopped, Chen Mo no longer transferred his innate spiritual energy. He stroked Chu Ran's pale face and asked worriedly.

"Sister Jingfei fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, she was rescued in time, otherwise it would have been a real disaster. After she wakes up, she can take more medicine and food to replenish qi and blood, and take good care of herself. There shouldn't be any serious problem. I will take care of Sister Jingfei these days." Wu Mi said.

"Mi'er, thank you for your help." Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and said.
