Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 282
Brother Xuan leaned forward, "If you have a folk prescription, why don't you say it earlier? It's useless to talk about it..."

The military doctor rolled his eyes, "Look for something that the princess often uses, and call the princess' name outside the camp, preferably in the direction where the uncle brought the princess back..."

"Or does it mean that sister has lost her soul?" Brother Xuan frowned.

"I don't know if it will work, let's try it?" The military doctor didn't answer this question directly.

Brother Xuan frowned and nodded, and told the military doctor to wait a while, he found a half-worn sachet from his sister.

The military doctor took a sniff and nodded, "This is an antiemetic herb. The formula is very good. It must be the princess who often takes it with her when she is pregnant. This is fine!"

Brother Xuan ordered someone to take the sachet and go outside the camp to shout.

The military doctor shook his head again and again, "This won't work."

Brother Xuan stared, "Isn't it what you said? Why can't it work?"

"It's not okay for others to shout, it has to be shouted by someone close to the princess, or the one who worried and cared the most before the princess went into hysteria, that's the best!" said the military doctor.

Brother Xuan frowned, and pondered for a while, "If the person my sister worries about the most can be here, she might not be hysterical."

After he muttered something, he ordered people to guard the tent, then got on his horse and headed out of the camp.

"Chai Sujin—"

"Chai concubine——"

"Sister—come back soon!"

Brother Xuan found a place that was open and far away from the tent, and shouted with all his strength.

It seemed that shouting like this could not only help his sister's soul find its way back, but also shout out all the depression in his heart.

He called over and over again, and after calling his name, he started calling Zhao Yuanzhen again.

He shouted that his own voice was slightly hoarse before he stopped.

In the distance, it seemed that someone was coming from the direction of the camp, as if looking for him.

Brother Xuan was pleasantly surprised from the bottom of his heart, he ran back on the horse, "Did my sister wake up?"

The person who came to report the news took a breath and said quickly, "Yes, the princess is awake and wants to see uncle."

Brother Xuan cheered and yelled, beat his horse and ran back.

Sister wakes up!Really woke up!
This recipe really works!
Back in the camp, he got off his horse, threw the rein aside, and went straight to Zhao Yuanzhen's camp.

"Sister, sister, are you awake?"

He vaguely saw a figure sitting by the bed, and immediately walked around the screen and stepped forward.

He was startled when he saw Chai Sujin.

There was no trace of human color on her face, she was as pale as thin paper.

"Sister..." His surprise tone became a little panicked.

Chai Sujin looked up at him, "Where is Zhao Yuanzhen? I heard someone calling him, where is he?"

Brother Xuan froze for a moment, his lips twitched, unable to speak.

"Why doesn't he come to see me?" Chai Sujinhu questioned.

"Sister?" Brother Xuan took a step forward, his tone tense and cautious, "Do you still remember how you came back?"

Chai Sujin frowned, "Didn't you bring it back?"

Brother Xuan nodded, "It's me, that's right. But do you remember what happened earlier?"

Chai Sujin narrowed her eyes, "Before? Before...wasn't I in Ma Wenzhao's hands?"

Brother Xuan nodded quickly again, "Yes, yes, that's right, you are in Ma Wenzhao's hands, so, do you still remember how you escaped from his trap?"

Chai Sujin took a deep breath, "Zhao Yuanzhen rescued me?"

This sentence carries a probing question.

Brother Xuan turned his face sideways, a little surprised, "You don't remember?"

Chai Sujin bit her lower lip and looked at him nervously.

Brother Xuan was more nervous than her, lest if he said something, she would faint or go into hysteria again.

"Could it be that something happened to him in order to save me?" Chai Sujin even lost the blood on his lips, and his whole body was like an undyed white cloth.

Brother Xuan took a deep breath, "It doesn't count, it's just that he hasn't come back yet, don't worry, Liang Yue has gone to look for him, and if he finds him, he will definitely bring him back to you!"

Chai Sujin looked suspicious and tilted her head.

Brother Xuan laughed dryly, "Sister, don't be afraid, you can still escape him? His heir is still in your belly!"

Only then did Chai Sujin lower her head, look at her slightly swollen abdomen, and caress it with her hands, the worry and anxiety on her face turned into a loving smile, "This kid is very good, but I figured him out, told him to follow me, Suffered a lot."

"You are the one who suffers, sister. Why did he suffer? Sister, you are in prison, and you have to protect him! It is he who made sister suffer!" Brother Xuan said with a frown.

Chai Sujin shook her head, a smile appeared on her pale face, "No, he was the one who protected me, without him, I don't know if I can persist until now, if I can live until now..."

Brother Xuan was startled when he heard the words, "What do you mean? Ma Wenzhao once..."

"It's okay, brother Zhen, how is he now? Where is he? Why didn't he come back after saving me?" Chai Sujin immediately interrupted Brother Xuan's words.

Brother Xuan frowned, unable to speak.

Chai Sujin's burning gaze made him wonder how to face her.

"I..." Brother Xuan suddenly got up, just wanting to escape, "You are awake, you must be hungry too, I asked the kitchen to make a small pot of food for you, if you think about it, I will ask them to bring it over !"

Brother Xuan said and went out.

"Brother Xuan!" Chai Sujin shouted.

Brother Xuan kept walking.

"Did something happen to him?" Chai Sujin asked loudly.

Brother Xuan froze and turned around.

"Really?" Chai Sujin rolled over and got off the bed, put her hand on the bedside table, and asked while looking at him.

Brother Xuan licked his lips, "I... I don't know, I'll go meet Liang Yue and look for it with him! I must bring Zhao Yuanzhen back to see you!"

After speaking, he ran out of the tent without looking back.

He originally wanted to take care of his sister and stay by her side.

But when she slammed her face with questions, he realized that sometimes it is not because of cowardice that he chooses to escape. There is really no way to face it, but he has to escape.

Brother Xuan ordered a few people and set off with him to the valley where Zhao Yuanzhen and Ma Wenzhao fell off the cliff.

"Uncle, you have been working hard all the way, and you haven't had a good rest, and you haven't even caught your breath, why are you leaving again?" The entourage who came with him stepped forward to persuade him.

Brother Xuan shook his head again and again, he was able to catch his breath on the road, but in front of his sister, he really couldn't catch his breath.

Looking into her puzzled and probing eyes, he felt like he was going to be driven crazy.

Maybe it would be better not to face it.

Brother Xuan didn't know, when he left, Chai Sujin was standing at the door of the tent and watching.

She didn't turn around and return to the tent until the group of them left and the dust that was raised gradually settled down.

The soldiers brought the meals, and she sat at the dining table that Zhao Yuanzhen had used, looking at four dishes and one soup, three meat and one vegetable, the soup was sweet soup with added sugar, which might be considered the best meal in the military camp .She has no appetite.

After staring at the food silently for a long while, she raised her hand to caress her stomach, picked up the chopsticks, and began to eat bite by bite.

The food on the table was almost halved before she put down her chopsticks and called for someone to come in to clean up.

"Are there any people who left with Uncle General and came back, are they still in the camp?" Chai Sujin asked.

The soldiers who cleaned up the food case were shocked when they heard this, this is the princess, the princess who made Yuan Dan and helped Da Zhou win!How could he talk to himself so gently?
"Yes, yes, yes..." The soldier trembled with excitement.

Chai Sujin smiled slightly, "Please, invite one or two for me, I have some questions to ask."

"Yes, princess, wait a moment." The soldier hurriedly retreated.

After waiting for a while, it was Ding Mao who came.

"Princess, I should have come to pay my respects to the princess earlier, but I was busy arranging things in the army, so I neglected it. I hope the princess will forgive me!" Ding Mao cupped his hands and said, "Uncle has explained before leaving. If the princess has any orders, just tell the general." .”

Chai Sujin looked him up and down, "When will General Zhao come back?"

Ding Mao froze slightly, and looked up at Chai Sujin, "This...uncle didn't say anything, but it will take three to five days, right?"

Chai Sujin nodded, "It doesn't look far away, so I'll wait for him to come back in the camp."

Ding Mao frowned.

"General, go get busy." Chai Sujin said softly.

"Yes." Ding Mao replied, but was a little stunned.that's it?Stop asking?Didn't Brother Xuan say that she couldn't remember some things clearly, and would keep asking, and the person who asked would get pissed off?Why don't you ask anything now?
Ding Mao backed out in a daze.

But she never thought that Liang Yue's news would be sent back the next day.

Perhaps it was the sender of the news who had gone off the road with brother Xuan who was found later, and the two sides did not meet each other.The news was sent back to the barracks and sent to Ding Mao.

"Master Liang said that he has found Ma Wenzhao, the king of Chu. When the people of Chu saw Ma Wenzhao, who had fallen beyond recognition and was half paralyzed and unable to move, they rushed away and ran for their lives in all directions," said the reporter. "It's just that General Zhao couldn't be found."

"What did you say?!" Ding Mao's eyes widened, as if he thought he had heard wrong.

"General Zhao couldn't be found, only a lot of blood." The messenger repeated, "Master Liang said, you can tell the truth to Uncle."

Ding Mao didn't let out a breath for a long time.

The messenger looked at him worriedly, "General? General Ding?"

Only then did Ding Mao let out a long breath, his expression was suffocated or shocked, and his face was ashamed and depressed.

"It's impossible. Ma Wenzhao has already found it. How could he not find the general? He must be able to find it! Are they short of manpower? If not, I will send more people there! Now that Chu State has been defeated, Ma Wenzhao They were all left behind and fell into our hands, Chu State is bound to be in chaos! Taking advantage of the chaos in Chu State, our army will cross the border to find the general!" Ding Mao waved his hand and said.

The reporter hesitated for a while, but still carefully persuaded, "It's not a matter of manpower... It's been more than half a day when we found the bottom of the mountain. There are fierce beasts in the mountain. Ma Wenzhao was almost swallowed by the beast... ..."

"What do you mean by that?" Ding Mao stared.

The messenger hurriedly shook his head and remained silent.

"I don't believe it. Our general must be injured and trapped somewhere, waiting for us to rescue!" Ding Mao said, "I will lead the troops myself and go..."

"Master Liang said, it's not a matter of more people and fewer people. Besides, the Kingdom of Shu is staring at our two countries! Now that the Chu Kingdom is in chaos, our soldiers and horses in the Great Zhou cannot act rashly. If the Great Zhou is in chaos, wouldn't it Do you want the Kingdom of Shu to take advantage of it?" the messenger said Xun Xun.

Ding Mao looked at him, "Did Liang Yue say this?"

The messenger nodded repeatedly.

Ding Mao snorted coldly.

"And don't worry, General, Mr. Liang won't just leave like this. What he told me to come back to report is that he will continue to search at the foot of the mountain." The messenger said, "And now, isn't uncle going too?"

Ding Mao snorted coldly, "It's because he also went that the matter was difficult! Uncle threw the hot potato into my hand and ran away by himself!"

The messenger looked at him in surprise.

He shook his head and sighed softly, stepped out of his tent, and walked towards the commander's tent.

When he reached the gate of the commander's tent, he suddenly turned around and left.

It's just that he moved a little slower, the people guarding outside the camp had already nodded to him and said hello, "I've seen General Ding!"

Ding Mao immediately waved at the guard at the door and frowned.

But Chai Sujin's hoarse and majestic voice came from inside the camp, "General Ding is outside the camp, why didn't he come in?"

Ding Mao had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the camp.

"See... see the princess!" He cupped his hands and said.

"I heard that Liang Yue sent someone back to report?" Chai Sujin looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Ding Mao groaned in his heart.The princess seemed to stay in the tent all day long, keeping quiet and never going out without inquiring.How come the news is still so well informed?
It seems that what he said to the soldiers who came in to serve, they all fell on deaf ears!

But he forgot that although most of the soldiers had met the princess, they had received the favor from the princess, or had heard of the princess' fame and deeds.If there is honor and favor being asked by the princess, doesn't that mean that she knows everything without saying anything?
"Yes... I'm back, but..." Ding Mao tried his best to express his words. Before Zhao Lianbo left, he specifically warned him that if there was any news that irritated the princess again, he would not tell the princess to wait until he brought General Zhao back. Take him to try.

Now, how should he say this news so as not to irritate the princess?

"But what? But there is still no news about General Zhao?" Chai Sujin asked.

Ding Mao nodded immediately, "Yes, yes! There is no news from General Zhao!"

"Oh." Chai Sujin nodded, "I see."

Ding Mao was already sweating on his forehead, but he didn't listen to her continuing to ask.

When he looked up, the princess had already sat down and looked through the handbook and notes on General Zhao's case.

Ding Mao was a little suspicious, "Princess..."

"Okay, General Ding, go get busy. If there is anything else, I will ask the general again. If the general has any news, please let me know in time." After she finished speaking, she looked down at the notes written by General Zhao. copywriting.

Ding Mao left the camp with a face full of surprise, feeling a bit like a monk of Zhang Er.

"When the uncle left, what he said was so scary... I think the princess listened to the strong one, she didn't cry or make a fuss, she was calmer than me! General Zhao and the princess really deserve to be a couple, even their tempers are like this It's similar! It's so calm, it makes me look like a fool!" Ding Maowu said to himself.

"What did the general say to himself?" The military counselor came towards him and greeted him with cupped hands.

Ding Mao shook his head, looked up at the sky, "I guess when we will leave for Beijing."

The counselor rubbed his chin, "I made a divination, we will definitely set off within ten days!"

"Bah!" Ding Mao spat at him, "Don't tell people to divination again!"

The counselor was stunned by his spit, "What's the matter? I have always been very accurate in divination, and no one has ever been able to break my divination chart!"

"I should have smashed it today!" Ding Mao said with a glare.

The counselor refused to accept, "Although General Ding is more powerful than me, he can't use his power to overwhelm others. If my divination is accurate, how dare you smash my divination? I have to talk about it in front of General Zhao!"

Mentioning Zhao Yuanzhen, Ding Mao's heart froze, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, don't stay in front of me! Are you sure, we don't need to talk here, we will see it later!"

The counselor was stubborn, and he stepped forward and grabbed Ding Mao's hand, "Hey, General Ding, don't you agree with my hexagram? Let's make a bet. If we leave the camp and return within ten days, you can call me." Fortune teller, how about it?"

The counselor chuckled, but he didn't realize that Ding Mao's face had turned slightly dark.

Ding Mao shook off his hand, "Then why don't you try to make another divination for me. If the divination is accurate, I will be convinced! I will give you half a year's salary. If not, you will destroy your divination by yourself. Pan, no more divination from now on, how about that?"

It was originally a joke, but now both of them are a little bit serious.

The counselor frowned: "Really?"

Ding Mao gritted his teeth, "It depends on whether you dare or not!"

"Come on, please, General Ding!" The counselor invited Ding Mao into his camp, and invited several counselors and deputy generals to testify.

After the two said what they had said before, the counselor began to divination for Ding Mao.

"What do you want?" asked the counselor.

"Think!" Ding Mao frowned, "Where is this person now, is he safe, and can he come back?"

The counselor was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked up at Ding Mao.

Ding Mao also looked back at him, the two looked at each other, and there seemed to be many things hidden in each other's eyes.

The counselor suddenly changed color, as if he suddenly understood something, he immediately reached out to collect the things on the table, "Forget it, forget it!"

"Eh?" Ding Mao pressed his hand, "Why don't you forget it? Are you afraid?"

Unexpectedly, the counselor nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, I'm scared! I don't count!"

"This is impossible!" Ding Mao narrowed his eyes, "It's not counting now, it's too late!"

"I admit defeat." The counselor said.

Ding Mao looked at him deeply, "Why did you suddenly admit defeat?"

Everyone also looked at the counselor in surprise and curiosity, "Yeah, I haven't calculated it yet, why did I admit defeat? Did I know I couldn't figure it out? Or did I dare not say something after I figured it out?"

This last sentence made Ding Mao's heart tremble.

"Don't make noise with Interrupter, hurry up and get out, get out!"

Ding Mao got up and drove everyone out.She had a good relationship with him and even laughed and scolded him for crossing rivers and tearing down bridges.

But Ding Mao didn't have the heart to play jokes with them. After driving everyone out, he blocked the counselor and said, "Did you already know something?"

The counselor shook his head again and again, "I don't know anything."

"Now there is no one else, if you know something, you should tell me!" Ding Mao said angrily.

The counselor hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "The person General Ding wants to count...but General Zhao?"

Ding Mao looked at him intently, "You, what did you figure out?"

The counselor shook his head again and again.

"Don't say? I, I want your life!" Ding Mao gritted his teeth.

The counselor shook his head, "It's not that I don't say it, but I can't figure it out."

"You didn't even count, how can you say you can't?" Ding Mao didn't believe it.

"There are many kinds of calculations, asking hexagrams for calculations, six lines for calculations, pinching fingers for calculations, and mental calculations for calculations. If there is possession divination, it is all calculations..."

"I don't listen to those things that I don't understand!" Ding Mao reached out and grabbed the collar of the counselor, "You just tell me, where is the general now? Is he okay?"

The counselor shook his head, "It's because you can't figure it out that it makes people uneasy and dare not talk nonsense! General Ding, why don't you understand?"

"I don't understand. If you explain clearly, don't I understand? It's cloudy, can't you give me a happy word?" The counselor was angry, and Ding Mao was even more angry than him.

The counselor sighed, "I can't figure it out, I can't figure out whether the general is safe or not, and where he is now! I know as much as the general, or even less!"

Ding Mao stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Bah, what a fortune teller?! I think you are a liar!"

After finishing speaking, Ding Mao left the counselor's tent with a dark face.

But there is one thing, the counselor did not make a mistake.

That is, within ten days, they must leave camp and return.

Late at night on the eighth day, or early morning on the ninth day, brother Xuan and Liang Yue returned to the camp.

There were many people and horses in the group, but they were quiet, and only when they approached did they alert the sentries.

Fortunately, he was one of his own. If it was a surprise attack, the sentry should have rested in a cool place.

Brother Xuan and Liang Yue quietly entered the camp, rested and settled down for a while, when the sky was slightly bright, they called all the generals in the deputy commander's camp to arrange the departure of the camp.

The soldiers and horses returned to the places where troops were stationed on the border of Dazhou, and more were repatriated to the places of origin where they were dispatched.

The Holy Majesty has sent other people to Chu to support the new king of Chu.

And those of them will go back to reward their meritorious deeds and become marquises and prime ministers.

Everyone was a little happy, and finally they were going back!I can finally go home, and I have seen the family members who have been separated for a long time and cannot be reunited.

It's just that the joyful moment of breaking out of camp and returning in triumph is missing General Zhao who has been leading them in battle and finally fulfilling his promise. It is hard to avoid being deeply puzzled.

Looking at General Ding, Uncle and the other generals all looked down.People who are curious and puzzled have many guesses in their hearts, but they dare not ask.

There is only one person who dares to press Brother Xuan to question him.

At this time, brother Xuan is hiding from her.

"Going to leave?" Chai Sujin asked the soldiers who had come to pack things in the camp.

The soldier nodded again and again, "Exactly, princess! You can finally return to Beijing!"

Chai Sujin's face paled slightly, "Uncle and Liang Yue are back already?"

"Yes, they are all arranging affairs in the army. The return journey of the army, with many people, is also a troublesome thing." The soldier smiled, "There are still many things to worry about!"

Chai Sujin pursed her lips and said nothing.

Until the rolling camps have been dismantled, a dense crowd of people stretches from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain.Everywhere is a stream of people moving one after another.There were many people but not chaotic, and when she left slowly according to the formation, she couldn't see brother Xuan's face.

She stepped on the horse stool into the carriage.

The carriage followed the large group of people, slowly on the way back.

"If you see Uncle, please tell him, how long can he hide from me?" Before getting into the car, Chai Sujin turned her face and said to the soldiers beside her.

The soldier was slightly taken aback, and when he agreed, Chai Sujin had already got into the car and closed the door.

After all, she is a woman, so it is inconvenient to follow the army.

After entering the border of Dazhou and entering the town, Brother Xuan arranged for her to separate from the army.

The army was handed over to Ding Mao, who was reappointed by the Holy Majesty, to take the lead, and he and Liang Yue brought a small number of troops to escort Chai Sujin back to Beijing.

While staying at the inn, brother Xuan bought two more maids to serve her, but he himself said nothing.

Chai Sujin met him only once in the corridor, and before he could speak, he sneaked into his room like a mouse meeting a cat, and he didn't even hit his sister face to face.

It wasn't until after the three or five cities, deep into the Zhou Dynasty, and not too far from the capital, that brother Xuan took the initiative to come to Chai Sujin.

He drank a jug of wine to build his courage, so he dared to knock on his sister's door.

The servant girl was startled as soon as she opened the door, "Master, have you been drinking?"

Brother Xuan didn't say a word, stretched out his hand and pulled the servant girl aside, and stepped into the room, "Sister!"

Chai Sujin was about to sit on the bed to rest, when she heard this, she got up and went to the table, put her hand on the table, and sat down slowly.

Brother Xuan's eyes fell on her growing belly, and he frowned, "It was my fault that I avoided you before, and I really don't know how to explain to you."

Chai Sujin let out an oh, lowered her eyes.

"Zhao Yuanzhen... can't be found." Brother Xuan said in a muffled voice.
