Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 52
For seven days, Meng Zihan just arranged for someone to take care of her daily life, but he also explained that if she loses her temper and refuses to eat, then let her go, starving to death is her business.

Meng Zihan admits that she is a little bit revengeful, and she is not a real man, so she doesn't know how to pity her.With such a good opportunity, she was lucky not to kill her.

But judging from the current situation, Hua Yanjing is indeed a good step.Although she was reluctant, and it was not what a gentleman did, she had to do it for the sake of those poor people and Meng Qian who still had to lie on the bed from time to time.

Walking to the door of Hua Yanjing's room, I happened to meet a maid who served her lunch and came out.

"Has she eaten?" Meng Zihan asked.

"My lord, the third lady has eaten on time these few days." The maid replied.

Meng Zihan smiled, it seems that Hua Yanjing is not stupid, she knows when to compromise.

"only……"

"Just what?" Seeing the servant girl's expression, Meng Zihan was worried that Hua Yanjing would cause trouble for her again.

"Miss San said the room is stuffy and wants to go out."

After Meng Zihan nodded to her, he walked into the room without saying a word.

After entering the room, I found that Hua Yanjing really had a bad face.Seeing Meng Zihan go in, she glared at her even more angrily and turned her head away.

Hua Yanjing has been thinking for the past few days: She was bullied by a dog in Pingyang.

Meng Zihan didn't speak, seeing that she was half lying on the bed, turned around and walked out of the room.

"Meng..." Before Hua Yanjing finished speaking, Meng Zihan had already closed the door, and soon, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Hua Yanjing couldn't figure out what was going on with Mengqian.Others knew that she was the prime minister's daughter, so they wished they could flatter her every day.But he was lucky, not only didn't care about her life, but he didn't even bother to talk to her.

Inside the tent, Mu Xuanchen frowned and studied the battlefield layout.

Half a month has passed, and the outcome of the war between the two countries is hard to tell.

At the beginning, he underestimated Chu Rui's ability to lead the army too much. He thought that Prince Chu Rui was just a yellow-haired boy who only knew about romance.It's no wonder that among the many princes, the Lord of Xueyue Kingdom only values ​​Chu Rui, who is the youngest.

But the problem now is that if it doesn't end in peace, both countries will suffer.

It's not impossible to fight with each other, but Chu Rui is determined to fight him to the end this time, and his personal grievances are all vented on the battlefield.

Seeing this situation, Mu Xuanchen also wholeheartedly stayed with him to the end, the two of them fought against each other, so they kept at a stalemate, and neither one would give in.

"Master!" Ye Feng was also in military uniform.Every time he goes out on an expedition, he will definitely accompany Mu Xuanchen in the charge to keep him safe.

"What's the situation outside?" Mu Xuanchen was still looking at the formation map, thinking about the next march.

"Prince Chu Rui still hasn't withdrawn troops. According to intelligence, the Lord of Xueyue Kingdom has also come to help." Ye Feng replied.

Mu Xuanchen's mood still didn't have any ups and downs, it seemed that he was not worried about this battle.But in fact, everyone is aware of such a tense battle situation, but Mu Xuanchen's calmness and composure can always boost morale invisibly.

"Have you found him?" Mu Xuanchen's question seemed inappropriate for the moment, but he still asked it so naturally.

Ye Feng knew that he was asking about the whereabouts of the princess.After so long, even in such a tense battle, he still will not forget the matter of finding people, and even put this matter in the first place.

"Not yet..." Ye Feng knew that this was the most ineffective time for him. In the past, no matter what Mu Xuanchen asked, he could complete the task in time, but this time he let him down.

Mu Xuanchen clenched his fists tightly, his brows were furrowed and he sighed deeply.He didn't believe that Meng Zihan would really disappear without warning as she said, and he didn't believe that he wouldn't even be able to find anyone.

"Keep looking!" There was no hesitation in the words.

"His Royal Highness!" Outside the tent, a soldier called softly.

Ye Feng walked over and raised the curtain of the tent and asked, "What's the matter?"

"This subordinate wants to ask His Royal Highness Chen Wang if he has lunch now." The soldier lowered his head and replied respectfully.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon, and Mu Xuanchen also sent back the breakfast. If it had been like this, even a hardened body would collapse.So Ye Feng asked Mu Xuanchen in the tent for instructions.

"Why don't you have lunch first!"

"Hmm!" He replied in a deep voice, his expression still a little dazed.

Where did she go?Why can't I find it?He propped his elbows on the table and rubbed his temples.

The soldier bowed into the tent, brought the food in front of Mu Xuanchen, and then turned around to leave.

Mu Xuanchen ate the food but didn't know its taste.

"Which camp are you from?"

Ye Feng's sudden question made Mu Xuanchen wake up suddenly, holding the chopsticks tightly, he raised his eyes and shot sharply.

"I'm from the kitchen." The soldier replied.

"Kitchen? The soldiers in my barracks have always called the kitchen a dining room, you are not one of us?" Mu Xuanchen's dark eyes flashed a trace of murder.

"Uh……"

Mu Xuanchen suddenly covered his heart and let out a painful moan, the chopsticks slipped from his hands, when Ye Feng turned his head, in an instant, Mu Xuanchen was lying unconscious on the ground...

"Master!" Ye Feng exclaimed loudly.

The soldier was about to take the opportunity to escape, Ye Feng quickly tapped his acupoints.

"Come on!" Ye Feng shouted.

Ye Feng roared in a hurry: "Go and get the imperial physician! Also, grab this sword and ask his master messenger."

Although he suspected that it was sent by Xueyue Kingdom, he still didn't want to judge rashly, at least before Mu Xuanchen woke up, he couldn't make up his own mind.

"Yes!" The two soldiers obeyed and escorted the soldier out.

After the imperial physician came, he took Mu Xuanchen's pulse carefully.

At this time, Mu Xuanchen was lying on the bed with a pale face and weak breathing, but his expression was as quiet as if he had fallen asleep.

After a long time, the imperial physician came back to his senses and was so frightened that he lost his mind.

"Emperor doctor, how is His Royal Highness Prince Chen?" Ye Feng stepped forward and asked anxiously.

The imperial physician replied with a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang is poisoned!"

"Poisoned?" Ye Feng was shocked.

"Yes. If His Royal Highness Chen Wang hadn't protected his heart in time, I'm afraid it would have already been..."

"Can this poison be cured?"

"This... the old man needs to go back and refer to the medical books, because this poison is really rare. Generally, the lips of poisoned people turn purple or black, and their faces are yellowish. They either die instantly or are tortured to death by poison, but they have never seen His Highness. Such a sleeping phenomenon." The imperial physician explained.

Ye Feng is in a hurry, if this continues, the battle will end in defeat.

"The poison has not been cured, has His Highness been sleeping like this?"

"Yes! It's just..." The imperial physician's face was extremely ugly, and his hands were trembling unceasingly, "If you can't find a way to detoxify within three days, Your Highness will... die of breathlessness."

"What?" Ye Feng walked to the bed, looked at Mu Xuanchen who was motionless, and felt like the whole sky was about to collapse, "Emperor doctor, you must find a way to detoxify within three days, otherwise you and I will not be able to survive. "

"Yes"

Ye Feng warned again: "This matter cannot be announced to the outside world, have you heard?"

"Yes." After saluting with fists in the palm of his hand, the imperial physician immediately retreated to look for a way to detoxify.

Ye Feng was worried that once the people of Xueyue Kingdom knew that Mu Xuanchen had been poisoned, they would definitely take this opportunity to attack, and our soldiers' morale would also be greatly reduced. The result seemed to be conceivable.

What to do now, he couldn't leave the battlefield to inform the emperor, even if he did, it would take more than three days to go back and forth.However, it is still necessary to report in time, otherwise if there is a mistake, no one can afford it.

Caiyun walked into the courtyard and saw Meng Zihan with a sullen face.She knew in her heart that she must be worrying about Hua Yanjing and Ganlin County.

She also had to worry that Hua Yanjing would know her identity, and she also worried that Mu Xuanchen would take her back when she recovered from her illness and then get married together.She has too many things to worry about, and it is rare to see her alive and kicking.

"My lord, it's the beginning of spring, today is sunny and sunny, do you want to let go of paper kites?" Caiyun only hoped that she could regain her joy.

"Release paper kites?"

Meng Zihan looked up at the sky, the weather was indeed good, unexpectedly she came in autumn, and spring had already arrived before she knew it.It's a pity not to go out to play in such weather!

"Good idea!" No matter how many worries she has, she still needs to give herself some space.

Sometimes thinking about it, she herself finds it funny.Since when did she forget that she is a modern person from time to time?
After a while, Caiyun brought a paper kite that had been prepared and showed it in front of her.Picking up the paper kite for a while, it seems that it has been a long time since I played with the paper kite. It was when she played with her brother Chu Rui when she was a child.

kite?to play?Eh?Meng Zihan had a flash of inspiration.

In the past few days, I have been thinking that the affairs of the poor must be resolved. The so-called emergency does not save the poor. This poverty cannot be solved with porridge.

She asked Meng Qian to write as a ghostwriter, and wanted to submit a memorial to reduce taxes, but was robbed by Cao Rong halfway.She wanted to arrange jobs for the poor, but was secretly tricked by Cao Rong, so that the poor had nowhere to go.

There is no evidence for only complaining, and Cao Rong cannot be prosecuted according to law.

It seems that this time I really have to follow Zhou Fu's idea and try to curry favor with Hua Yanjing.

If she wants to deal with Cao Rong, she must have the backing of the prime minister, and if she wants to have the backing of the prime minister, she must choose the shortcut of Hua Yanjing.

"Caiyun, you stay here, I'm going to take Hua Yanjing to release the paper kite today." Meng Zihan said.

Caiyun stared at Meng Zihan with wide eyes in bewilderment, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.Ever since Hua Yanjing came to the county government office, she always backed away. If she had nothing to do, she wouldn't even enter Hua Yanjing's room. What happened today?
"My lord, are you... all right?" Cai Yun probed her forehead, really wondering if she had taken the wrong medicine.

Meng Zihan slapped her hand off, looked at her angrily and amusedly and said, "Why are you not as smart as Zhou Fu?"

"Ah?" Cai Yun was confused.

Meng Zihan went to her ear and explained to her, and she suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, Caiyun smirked and leaned into Meng Zihan's ear and said, "Your Excellency is now suave, if you are gentle and considerate, be careful that she will fall in love with you..."

When she heard this, she put her hands on her hips without being ashamed and put on a handsome posture: "It's normal for a little girl to like me, who is so graceful and talented in both civil and military affairs!"

"Wen...Wu...all-rounder?" Caiyun looked her up and down with twitching corners of his mouth.

Not to mention all-round talents in civil and military affairs, even if you don't have any of them, right?This bragging is too exaggerated.

Meng Zihan looked back and saw Caiyun's unbelievable expression, pushed her little head and said, "Hurry up and get ready!"

Caiyun hurriedly nodded and left.

Looking at her back, Meng Zihan also looked at himself and muttered to himself: "Without Mr. Wu, should there be literature? Anyway, I know a lot of modern characters, but it's not my fault that I became semi-literate here. ..." He kept muttering as he walked towards the gate.

She looked at the scene with a smile on her lips.

These fourteen or fifteen years of age should be like this, and they should live life freely.It's just that in ancient times, women were never allowed to have their own ideas and behaviors.

What is said about "a woman who has no talent is a virtue" is probably afraid that after a woman is literate, she will know how ridiculous the "three obediences and four virtues" are.Then there will be more competition in the officialdom of men.

Ever since Hua Yanjing injured her leg, she could only stay in the room all day long, and hadn't come out to breathe fresh air for a long time. Even if she came out occasionally with a maid, she would stay in the courtyard at most.And this county magistrate had never even looked at her, Meng Zihan's behavior today surprised her and made her puzzled.

When Meng Zihan turned his head, he happened to be looking at Shanghua Yanjing puzzledly.

"What are you looking at?" Meng Zihan held back his smile and asked coldly.

Her sudden change made Hua Yanjing pouted, wondering where did she offend him, and why did she always face her coldly.

"Nothing." She turned her head in displeasure.

Meng Zihan noticed the change in his attitude, so why did he bring in his personal grievances again.She must put personal grievances aside first, otherwise the plan will be ruined.But really want to let go easier said than done?She is not a saint!
But it's strange to say that the prime minister doesn't know what's going on, and he hasn't come to see her until now. Is it because Hua Yanjing is not favored?Wouldn't it be useless for her to sacrifice her "hue" so much?

But as far as I know, Prime Minister Hua dotes on Hua Yanjing very much, otherwise it would be impossible to make her so arrogant and domineering.

No matter what, you still have to give it a go, it's better than doing nothing.

"Want to play with paper kites?" Meng Zihan tried his best to restrain his emotions, not thinking about how she would seduce Mu Xuanchen.

Hua Yanjing was a little displeased, knowing that her legs and feet were inconvenient, but he still asked.

"How do you want me to play?" Hua Yanjing said angrily.

Seeing Hua Yanjing's expression, Meng Zihan felt unhappy for a while.

How dare you give me a face!

it is good!I will endure!I will bear you for a while!

She secretly took a deep breath to keep herself calm.

After walking to the carriage, she pushed out a chair with a strange shape from the back of the carriage.The two maids forgot to play when they saw it, and ran over and started studying while admiring.

It's really just a wheelchair.The only difference from the 21st century is the material.There are no tires here, so only wood is used for the wheels.

Before that, she planned to make one for Mengqian. Perhaps after listening to the housekeeper's advice, she asked the craftsman to make another wheelchair.

Hua Yanjing looked at Meng Zihan curiously, and became confused when she saw the chair.

What kind of weird chair is this?
Meng Zihan pushed the chair in front of Hua Yanjing and said, "Sit on it and put paper kites on it."

"I can't walk, how do you want me to sit?" She still had a bad tone.

"You just can't walk with one foot, can't you move the other foot?" Meng Zihan was speechless.

"It hurts if you move it!" Hua Yanjing felt a layer of grievance in her heart.

Meng Zihan's face was covered with black lines after hearing this.

Is it possible to let her carry her over?Is she treated too well?
What an inch!
This eldest lady is an eldest lady, and she will never know how to grow up in adversity, nor will she know how to support herself.

Come on, just hug it, just like hugging a sow!
Meng Zihan secretly rolled his eyes, reached out and hugged her horizontally.Fortunately, Hua Yanjing was not very heavy, otherwise she would have thrown her to the ground.

"Ah!" Hua Yanjing screamed.

"You're a fart!" Meng Zihan couldn't bear it anymore.

"You...you..." Hua Yanjing turned pale with fright.

At the moment she screamed, Meng Zihan carried her into the wheelchair.

"What are you, what are you trying to say? Don't be surprised, you will scare your soul away." Meng Zihan also said angrily to Hua Yanjing.

"You are bold!" Hua Yanjing roared with a blushing face.

Meng Zihan froze on the spot for a while in a daze.What happened to her?What is bold or not? Do you want to say that she is vigorous?
"My lord..." A maid next to Meng Zihan came up to Meng Zihan and said shyly, "Do men and women kiss each other?"

I see!Meng Zihan suddenly realized.She actually forgot her current identity again. As a man, if he had skin relationship with a woman, he would marry her in. However, just now, through the clothes, it shouldn't be considered skin relationship, right?

"Miss San, don't worry, I won't make you responsible!" Mengzi said coldly.

Hua Yanjing and the two maids looked at her in astonishment, this man made a woman not responsible... This is the first time I heard it.

Amid their strange expressions, Meng Zihan woke up again, cleared his throat and said, "Do you still want to play? If you don't play, the sun will be setting!"

"But..." Hua Yanjing looked hesitantly at the chair and then at Meng Zihan.

Meng Zihan pursed her lips and smiled, asked a maid to hold the kite, handed the spool of the kite to Hua Yanjing, and said, "Take it!"

She turned Hua Yanjing's chair back to the maid holding the paper kite and said to the maid: "Listen to my command later, let go if I tell you to."

"Yes!" The two maids looked at the moving chair suspiciously and replied.

"What are you going to do?" A trace of timidity rose in Hua Yanjing's heart.

"Don't talk nonsense! Get ready!" As soon as the words were finished, Meng Zihan quickly pushed the wheelchair forward, she turned her head and ordered to the maid holding the paper kite, "Let go!"

The paper kite flew into the sky with the wind, and the spool in Hua Yanjing's hand instantly spun as the paper kite flew away.Seeing that the paper kite had reached the sky, Meng Zihan stopped and turned the chair around so that Hua Yanjing could look up and see the paper kite in the air.

"Wow...it's really flying!" Hua Yanjing shouted happily.

"Flying so high!" The two little maids clapped their hands and shouted.

When Meng Zihan saw Hua Yanjing, whose face was full of joy, and the paper kite in the sky, his heart and hands also began to itch.

She ran over to get another paper kite from the servant girl, and started playing along the way.

Hua Yanjing turned her head to look at "Meng Qian" who had a rare smile on her face, and suddenly found that his smile was not so annoying.It's just that he is usually too arrogant and doesn't take her seriously.

I don't know why he is so abnormal today.

"Ah!" Meng Zihan suddenly called out.

Hua Yanjing followed Meng Zihan's gaze to the sky, and found that the two paper kites in the sky were entangled because of the sudden gust of wind just now.They were about to take back the thread in their hands, but when they loosened it, the thread suddenly broke, and the two paper kites flew away with the wind.

"My kite..." Hua Yanjing cried out anxiously.

"I'll look for it, you wait." Meng Zihan finished speaking to Hua Yanjing, and then explained to the two little girls, "Take care of Miss San."

"Yes!" The two said in unison.

Meng Zihan chased after him all the way, and the paper kite flew all the way.I don't know what's wrong, it's just two kites, but she kept running forward like a demon, and didn't give up until she was dripping with sweat.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Yanjing watched "Meng Qian" drift away until she disappeared from her sight...

There was a small hill ahead, and the paper kite flew to that hill and then fell down.

Panting heavily, Meng Zihan ran up the hill. When he saw the paper kite, he picked it up with one hand and supported his waist with the other, mocking himself, "Am I crazy? I ran so far to pick up two broken kites."

She pursed her lips and chuckled.

Just as she turned around, a scene in the distance suddenly caught her attention.

She looked intently, only to see gunpowder smoke in the distance, and there was a word "Chen" on the huge military flag, could it be Mu Xuanchen's army?But why is there something wrong with that scene?

Because she was too far away, she couldn't see the specific situation clearly, but she felt uneasy in her heart, as if something happened.

Is she thinking too much?should be!
Never mind, those wars have nothing to do with her.History is history after all, and no one can change it.The one who deserves to die, the one who deserves to die.Even thinking so much, she can't change history.And maybe one day in the end, she will disappear from everyone's memory, and it might be as if she never appeared in his life...

On the way back, she was a little lost, thinking about the scene she just saw and his appearance along the way.

"Why did it take so long?"

Hua Yanjing's voice suddenly rang in her ears.She held back her thoughts and raised her head, only to realize that she had walked back to this undisturbed green grass at some point.

She handed the paper kite to Hua Yanjing, Hua Yanjing looked at the sweat on her forehead and said, "Run away for half an hour, just to get back the paper kite?"

Meng Zihan didn't answer her, but just said to her: "The wind is too strong, go back." Then, regardless of Hua Yanjing's disagreement, he pushed her wheelchair and headed for the carriage, with a dazed expression on his face.

The uneasiness in her heart is getting stronger and stronger, she wants to see him very much now, really wants to, she wants to go...

After finishing the dinner, Meng Zihan asked Caiyun to help her pack her bags.

Caiyun is also used to her behavior of saying that it is wind or rain, but the place she is going this time is too dangerous, so Caiyun keeps dissuading her.

"Are you really going?" Caiyun asked worriedly while helping her tidy up.

"Hmm!" Meng Zihan frowned in thought.

The place she was going to this time was indeed dangerous, but she wanted to go there with all her heart and soul, and she had to go there.

Caiyun is helpless, she has never been able to stop her thoughts or stop her actions, the only thing she can do now is to help her get ready.This time I wanted to follow her, but she flatly refused, there was no room for negotiation.

She knew that she didn't want to put her at risk.

After tidying up, Meng Zihan asked Caiyun to go back to her room to rest, but she herself was a little worried.

Although Caiyun had been told to take good care of Mengqian, she was still very worried about Hua Yanjing.
