Fortunate Young Gentleman

“No…”

Zhao Man’s face flushed. Although her heart had long flown out of the palace, she could only sit here obediently at this moment.

Emperor Chen looked at her and said, “The Queen Mother is bored in the palace alone. You might as well move back to the palace so that you can spend more time with her.”

Zhao Man looked at Emperor Chen, then at the Queen Mother, lowered her head, and whispered, “Man’er knows.”

“Okay, okay.” The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, “She doesn’t find it annoying, but I do. She keeps chattering in my ears all day long. My ears are almost calloused. Let her leave the palace as soon as possible…”

Zhao Man was happy, but her face showed an unhappy expression. She shook the Queen Mother's arm with a dissatisfied expression, and said: "I'm not chirping..."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "Let's go, I still have something to say to His Majesty."

Zhao Man looked at Emperor Chen, who nodded and said: "Then you go back first."

Zhao Man stood up, bowed, and said: "Father, Queen Mother, Man'er will take her leave."

She slowly walked out of the Imperial Garden and the Palace. When she was about to reach the palace gate, she began to speed up her pace, and finally ran.

The guards at the palace gate originally thought that she was a maid who was running away, and were about to stop her. When they saw her clothes and appearance, they immediately retreated, looking at Princess Pingyang who got on a carriage at the palace gate with a surprised face, and they were a little confused.

Zhao Man sat in the carriage and urged anxiously: "Hurry, go back to the palace!"

In the imperial garden, the queen mother looked at Emperor Chen and asked with a smile: "Is the matter in the north settled?"

"It's settled." Emperor Chen smiled and said: "The grassland has been seriously damaged after this incident, and with the black barbarians restraining it, it will not be a threat to my Chen country for at least ten years."

"If your father is still alive, he will be very happy to hear about this." A trace of reminiscence appeared in the turbid eyes of the queen mother, and she said slowly: "Your father's generation suffered too much loss and shed too much blood on the grassland..."

"Chen will never let anyone bully us again." A trace of determination appeared in Emperor Chen's eyes, and he clenched his fist and said: "Within ten years, I will make it the most powerful country in the world!"

Although this is arrogant, as the emperor of Chen, he has the confidence to say this.

With a full treasury and a stable domestic situation, Chen State originally had the strength to fight the grassland head-on. Now that the threat from the grassland has been eliminated, no country in the known land can compete with Chen State except Chu State.

In his lifetime, he is expected to restore the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The Queen Mother looked at him and said, "You have to take one step at a time. You have done something that even your father and the emperors of all dynasties have not done. You might as well stop and take a rest."

"I dare not rest..." Emperor Chen sighed and said, "Although Jiangnan and the northwest are settled, the chaos in the Western Regions has not been settled. Xiaowan is ambitious, and there is trouble in Qiandi again. Xifan is eyeing the plateau. There are hidden dangers of the black barbarians in the depths of the grassland. How dare I rest?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, and said, "Qiandi is adjacent to Jiangnan. If Qiandi is in chaos, Jiangnan will bear the brunt. The capital is out of reach. The Western Regions have been troubling the Central Plains for a long time. Those tribes on the plateau have never been vegetarians. If Sushen cannot contain the black barbarians, Chen will be under their threat. I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't rest..."

...

In principle, Tang Ning is still on his way back to Beijing, so he doesn't have to work in the Shangshu Province.

He just came back from the grassland. If Emperor Chen asked him to go to the Shangshu Province immediately, he would be too unhuman.

However, although he was temporarily idle at home, Tang Ning still had to pay attention to Zuo Xiaowei's affairs.

He asked Chen Zhou to go to the Cavalry Camp to get the information. Not long after reading it, a figure walked in from outside the study.

Tang Ning stood up and said with a smile: "Senior Brother is back."

Doctor Sun went to the neighboring county to practice medicine these two days. This was the first time Tang Ning saw him after returning to Beijing.

Doctor Sun asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you let me know?"

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Brother, you are saving the world and the people. How dare I bother you?"

Dr. Sun smiled and said, "My saving one person is nothing compared to your saving a country."

It was embarrassing to brag to Doctor Sun here, so Tang Ning changed the subject and said, "Brother, you are back just in time. I have something to ask you."

Dr. Sun said, "What is it?"

Tang Ning looked at Doctor Sun and asked, "I don't know how much you know about the knockout drug. This drug is not only colorless, but also tasteless. Although it is not fatal, it is hard to guard against. Even people who are proficient in poison can be tricked if they are not careful. I don't know how many heroes in the world have fallen into this trap."

Tang Ning asked this question because of what happened on the grassland. He himself was also proficient in poison, but he was tricked by this trick. It's better to ask clearly to avoid falling into the same trap in the future.

I don't know which idiot gave this thing to Wan Yanyan. If she hadn't failed in basic education, she would have made a big mistake at that time.

Doctor Sun looked at him and asked, "Why do you ask this, Junior Brother? Could it be that Junior Brother has also been poisoned by this poison?"

Tang Ning smiled and waved his hand, saying, "How is this possible..."

Dr. Sun stroked his beard and said, "It is said that this medicine is not only colorless and tasteless, but also has no solution. But whether there is a solution or not, I haven't studied it carefully..."

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "I wonder if Junior Brother has this medicine with him. Let me study it for two days and then give you an answer, how about it?"

Anyone who has nothing to do will bring the sweat medicine with him. Besides, he has a sleeping poison, which is more convenient to use than the sweat medicine. Tangning shook his head and said, "I don't have one on me either."

He looked at Chen Zhou and said, "When you go back, buy some sweat medicine and bring it over tomorrow."

"No need, I have Menghan Medicine on me." Chen Zhou touched his arms and handed a paper bag to Tang Ning.

Tangning looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why do you have this thing on your body?"

Chen Zhou scratched his head and said: "Last time in the grassland, the fourth princess asked me for the sweat medicine and said it was useful, so I asked for some from the imperial doctor, gave some to the fourth princess, and left a little..."

He never expected that the Mongolian sweat medicine Wan Yanyan used on him was actually given by his personal guard leader.

Tangning looked at him, her expression gradually darkened, and she said, "Just give it to her if she wants it. You are really kind-hearted..."

Chen Zhou had an embarrassed smile on his face and said, "Thank you, sir..."

…

There was a traitor among his men. Tang Ning felt depressed. As soon as she stepped into the inner courtyard, a figure rushed over from the front.

Tang Ning hugged Zhao Man, who was like a baby girl, and spun around in a circle. She hooked her arms around Tang Ning's neck and hung her body on him. She said dissatisfiedly, "Humph, you've been back for two days and you haven't told me yet." I!"

Tangning pinched her nose and said, "I even hid it from His Majesty, how dare I tell you?"

"I know." Zhao Man raised his head and said, "You were afraid that your achievements would shock the master, so you deliberately hid it from your father. My father told me..."

Tang Ning stroked her hair, while Zhao Man leaned on his chest and asked, "Is the grassland fun? Wan Yanyan said before that there are many fun things in the grassland. You can ride horses, shoot arrows, and catch rabbits..."

Tangning recounted to her the key points of what happened on the grassland, and of course concealed some of the thrilling processes.

After Zhao Man heard this, she looked at him blankly and asked, "You and Wan Yanyan are married!"

Tangning said, "That time was fake."

Zhao Man said anxiously: "Then there will be a next time, and next time it will become real!"

Tang Ning said: "That will happen three years later..."

"Three years from now..." Zhao Man thought for a while and didn't know what he thought of. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, "She can come to our Tang family, but you have to agree to one condition."

Tangning looked at her and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Let her line up behind me..." Zhao Man said with a smile on her face, "I want to be my sister!"
