Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 326
She said to herself: There are no permanent enemies in the palace, only permanent interests.Princess Yun asked Concubine Wang Shu's daughter He Jingmei to preside over the poetry meeting held by the royal family in the lotus garden.At that time, the queen had already begun to win over the royal family.

He Shi said in a low voice: "The empress is so generous in everything she does, she must be extremely bitter in her heart. She can endure what ordinary people can't bear. Only in this way can she always be respected and loved by her majesty, and her position is stable."

"Mother, I won't be drafted or enter the palace, so you don't have to tell me these things." Li Jingjing expressed her attitude directly for the first time.

The draft age is 12.She will be 12 years old next year, and she will not be able to participate in the draft when she becomes ill.

He stretched out his hand to stroke his beloved daughter's hair, and said slowly: "My Jing Niang, even if she doesn't enter the palace, she will marry someone in the future, and her husband's family is no match for her mother's family. Sometimes it's just a matter of bearing it, and life can be lived Well done."

Li Jingjing shook her head and said, "I'm still five years away from becoming an adult, so I don't want to think about these things."

Qu followed and said, "Sister Jing's marriage is not in a hurry."

The gates of the royal family were all open, headed by Wang Hezhi and the Yun family, even the one-year-old babies in the royal family were dressed in costumes and waited to welcome the phoenix.

The guests were ranked behind the royal family according to the rank of the mansion, and the Li family and the people from the prince's mansion were in the front.

Murong Ying, wearing a gold crown and a phoenix skirt, was the first to enter the crowd's sight, supported by four court ladies, followed by the excited Concubine Wang Shu, and then He Yiyun and He Jingmei.

The protagonist here is the Yun family. Murong Ying came to the palace to show her favor, so she certainly wouldn't steal the limelight from the old birthday star. She gave a birthday gift and said auspicious words. She just sat down for a while, giving the Yun family and the royal family enough face. Then he took He Yiyun back to the palace.

Concubine Wang Shu and He Jingmei were deliberately left in the royal family by Murong Ying, and they were allowed to accompany Yun for a day and return to the palace before the gate of Chang'an was closed.

Classes at Chang'an Academy started in July, and Shang Liang, who was already able to walk on crutches, returned to the dormitory where he had been away for a year.

His appearance caused a shock in the entire Chang'an medical circle.

The military attache sent all the ladies to hold a poetry meeting in the lotus garden, and each of them contributed ten taels of silver.No extravagant lunch was arranged, but a pot of precious Clivia was given to each of the best poem-writing ladies of the three factions as a prize.

One morning on the eve of the scientific expedition in August, there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain fell from the sky.

An officer in armor galloped to the gate of the imperial palace on a fast horse, and shouted anxiously, "Eight hundred troops in the north should report urgently!"

In the Xuanzheng Hall, He Dong wears a golden crown and a dragon robe high above and sits on a dragon chair, with all civil and military officials lined up on both sides.

The officer, whose face was drenched with sweat and could not tell whether it was sweat or tears, knelt down in the center of the hall and cried out: "Your Majesty, Taishi Li and the 27 troops disappeared in the Chasing Wind Grassland of the Xiongnu Dynasty. There has been no news for [-] days!"

He Dong lost his composure and stood up, and asked anxiously: "Zhuifeng Grassland is the place where my Xuanlang's bones are buried, why did Mr. go there?"

The officer leaned on the ground and wept loudly: "Your Majesty, Taishi Li wanted to avenge Xuan County King, and led an army of [-] deep into the Chasing Wind Grassland. Unexpectedly, he lost contact with Qingcheng after only seven days in. I prepared the army grass and food There's nowhere to send it."

With tears in He Dong's eyes, he said in a painful voice, "Mr. was killed?"

"Your Majesty, the 27 army has no supplies for [-] days. How can they survive on the vast grassland?"

"Li Bing killed [-] soldiers of the dynasty for his own use!"

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu dynasty suffered from Li Bing's losses, how can they suffer again?"

"Li Bing thought he could still defeat the Xiongnu like last time. He was too arrogant and aroused the wrath of both gods and humans. The heavens brought great disaster to the dynasty, and [-] soldiers died for his fault!"

"How can Li Binghe De be the commander-in-chief of the Northland?"

"I implore Your Majesty, in order to appease the heroic souls of the [-] soldiers, decree to cut off the Li family, one county magistrate, two marquises, and three county lords."

The voices of dozens of civilian and military officials attacking Li Bing and the Li family were overwhelming, and the roof of the hall was about to be lifted.

He Donghu's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "What are you arguing about, shut up!"

All the officials remained silent, with different expressions on their faces.

He Dong asked hoarsely, "Which generals do you have with your [-] troops?"

The officer kowtowed heavily and said, "King Yanjun, Duke Qin, Prince Qin..."

He reported the names of nine generals in a row, and He Dong's face turned from blue to white.

There was no sound in the hall for a long time, and He Dong was already in grief and tears streaming down his face.

Shang Shengshan knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you are alive, you must see people, but if you are dead, you must see corpses. I think that right now we should send soldiers to find the whereabouts of Taishi Li and the [-] troops."

He Dong closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Sure. Retire."

But one day, the news that Li Bing led an army of [-] people disappeared in the grassland of the Xiongnu Dynasty spread all over the streets and alleys.

Li Bing was surrounded by hundreds of women and children of missing soldiers crying and cursing at the county government office not far from the imperial palace, blocking the road in front of the gate.

On the grass outside the gate of Li's house in Chang'an Academy, dozens of students who had achieved great fame sat cross-legged under the trees. A statement from the army.

He Shi ordered the gate to be closed tightly, no one could come in or out during the day, and no conflicts with the students were allowed.

When Qu learned that Li Bing had been missing for a month, she cried so hard that she couldn't eat lunch or dinner.

Li Jingjing persuaded: "Grandma, grandpa is just missing, there is no definite news that he was defeated and killed. But don't wait for grandpa to return in triumph, you are so hungry and ill that you have no energy to meet him."

He Shi wiped away tears for Qu Shi, and said: "Mother, what Jing Niang said is right, you can't fall ill at this time."

Li Yunfei pouted and took Qu Shi's hand and said, "Grandma, if you don't eat, fourth brother and I won't eat either."

He Jiye coaxed in a childish voice: "Grandma, grandpa might be back tomorrow."

Qu Shi went to the dining room as she said, looked at the table full of food, thought that Li Bing had no food to eat for a month on the grassland, worried and sad and cried again.

Li Qubing also didn't eat two meals, his face was pale, but Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang persuaded him to come over.

He Shi scolded: "Qubing, I will take the exam in three days, you don't eat, you starve your body, how can you take the exam?"

Li Qubing cried aloud: "The gate of the mansion is blocked by so many people. I can't even get out. How can I enter Chang'an City to take part in the scientific examination?"

He Yiyang said loudly: "Little uncle, as long as you want to take the exam, I will protect you to the exam room."

Li Qubing cried bitterly: "Daddy's whereabouts are unknown, I don't have the heart to think about it."

"My mother and I didn't cry, why are you crying?" Li Jingjing said angrily, "You are going to get married, why are you so useless?"
