Chapter 253
Mu Yun then smiled and replied, "I know that my wife's family is not short of good medicines, but what I bring is all the medicines. On weekdays, my husband's cousin was prepared according to the prescription, mostly to stop bleeding and detoxify, and a small number of them treat high heat, wind and cold. My husband had tried it before. Although the medicine was not as effective as the ones specially configured in the palace, it was better than those in the pharmacy outside. It was very dangerous to have a sword on the battlefield. If the sword was eyeless, it was very dangerous. If the wife asked the prince to bring more of this, you would feel at ease."
After hearing her words, Xu opened the bag and looked at it. She saw small wooden boxes inside. Each box contained different medicines. They were labeled on them, with the name and efficacy of the medicine on them. Xu roughly counted it and there were more than 20 patent medicines inside. It can be said that some common diseases and minor injuries and pains can be used to deal with them with the patent medicines in this bag.
Xu nodded and said, "Although I have prepared some, it is far less complete than you. On the battlefield, these medicines are life-saving things, and I will not be polite to you now." After that, Xu tied the bag again and ordered people to put it in an ebony box, and put it together with the gifts to Duke Cheng and sent it to him.
The new emperor formally issued an order, and appointed Duke Cheng as the first-rank marshal of Pingbei, who was in charge of the Liaoyang Guard's defense of the enemy. From the time of the order to the departure, it took only more than an hour for the throne. Even though it was already dark, the situation in Liaoyang Guard was no longer optimistic. Since ancient times, the troops have not moved, and food and grass have come first, and the army is about to be deployed. As for food, grass, military supplies and other materials, they can be slightly delayed.
Muyun accompanied Xu to the city gate to see Duke Cheng off.
Xu and Duke Cheng have been married for many years. Even though they had rifts and dirty things, their relationships are naturally extremely deep after so many years of support. Unlike the last time they went to the northwest, Dan Xiong has grown older in recent years, with a few white hair on his temples and a little old look on his face. Xu sighed: "I won't say much more about the extra words, I just hope that my husband can return to the court safely."
Duke Cheng patted her hand: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back." It was just a simple word. At this moment, he said it from Duke Cheng's mouth, but it was still worth a thousand pounds.
Especially around them, there were relatives who came to see them off, and some were so calm, and naturally some were so unstoppable. Some people started crying in a low voice. At first, there were only a few people crying, but later more and more people cried.
Even Mu Yun was infected by the heavy atmosphere and couldn't help but wet his eyes. How many people returned from the war in ancient times? It's just like this now. The war is cruel and ruthless. No one knows how many people can come back intact when this group of troops go out.
The civil officials in the court were still jealous of the rapid promotion of military generals. But why didn’t they think about this military merit and this future, what did they not make their lives on the battlefield?
Duke Cheng took a deep breath and reminded: "I left in a hurry and I didn't have time to say goodbye to the Empress. When you have time to enter the palace, please greet the Empress for me." Xu nodded quickly and agreed.
Duke Cheng looked at his second brother again: "After I leave, all the internal and external affairs of this family will be handed over to you." The second master knew what he meant, so he responded solemnly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Duke Cheng ordered the army to move forward at full speed, and estimated that he could reach Wuping City in three hours. The soldiers he personally led this time were all 70,000 elite soldiers drawn from the Daying of the Jingji and the nearby guards of the Jingshi City, and 30,000 elite soldiers from several nearby states would go directly to the Liaoyang guards from the local side to meet him.
Duke Cheng put on his armor, turned around and stepped on the war horse. With a wave of his hand, the sound of gathering horns sounded in the army. The soldiers said goodbye to their relatives and were ready to go. Dayuan's army was strict, and the sound of gathering horns rang for only half a quarter of an hour, and the entire army had already assembled.
Duke Cheng looked at the Dan family again, nodded to this side with slightest inquiry, and then took the lead and ran away...
After a long time, Mu Yun still sighed when he remembered the scene of seeing off this farewell again. Some things had been arranged long ago.
It was not until the army left and could no longer see them, that Xu turned around and prepared to go home.
Mu Yun stepped forward to comfort him and asked again: "If you have something to do, just ask someone to call me, and you should take care of yourself."
Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. When this man went to fight in front of me, I will naturally help him guard the big rear at home and not let him have any worries."
Although Xu looked very strong, Mu Yun was worried. But she had a lot of things on her own, and it was impossible for her to leave her family alone to accompany Xu. After returning home, Mu Yun sighed for a long time, and always felt uncomfortable.
Mu Yun felt that he would go to see Xu more when he was free. Madam Yun and Xu had a deep affection. She had been waiting at Duke Cheng's Mansion when Xu returned. In fact, Mu Yun's worries were a little unnecessary.
The next day, Mu Yun took Xiao Pumpkin to visit Xu's house with Duke Chengguo's mansion, and he met Princess Yongchang and the Fu family were preparing to get married this year, so the marriage would be a little rushed. But by chance, the marriage was shady now, so the marriage could only be postponed.
Not to mention one year or three years, the Fu family is willing to wait. After all, the cousin of the current new emperor who is the daughter of Princess Yongchang, is still very important, and Princess Yongchang has a good relationship with the new queen.
When Mu Yun saw Princess Yongchang, he hurriedly greeted him, and then smiled and said, "I didn't expect Princess, you are here too! But are you here to see the wife?"
Princess Yongchang smiled and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Who else can I see besides looking at her?" Then, she said, "Oh~ she must be feeling bad now."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yun also said, "That's right! There is no eye-catching sword on the battlefield, and it's very dangerous. But why didn't the princess bring the county lord here? Don't lock the girl at home all day!"
"No, she has come these few days and it's not convenient to go out..."
As soon as Princess Yongchang said this, Mu Yun suddenly realized it.
The two of them joined the Duke Cheng's mansion and followed the maid to Country Garden.
When the two entered the house, Xu smiled and said, "Why are you here together? There is no need to worry about me so much. It's been so many years, and it's not the first time."
Mu Yun looked at Princess Yongchang, then smiled and said, "Princess and I come here to see if you are not good?"
Xu didn't want to pay attention to her, and saw Xiao Pumpkin beside her and waved her to come over. Xiao Pumpkin knew Xu, so he naturally passed by happily.
Princess Yongchang suddenly sighed: "It seems that I'm worried in vain. In your eyes, I am not as good as a little girl." She turned her head and said to Mu Yun, "Look, we have been here for so long, and she doesn't tell us to do it, she only knows how to look at the young and cute children. I think we are old and ugly, so we can't be as beautiful as the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom."
Mu Yun also pretended to say angrily: "That's not it!"
Xu laughed and scolded: "Don't sing and reconcile over there! I'm just happy to see Ni's young and beautiful little man."
"No! Look at it casually!" Princess Yongchang whispered and found a seat to sit down. Mu Yun also found a seat to sit down.
...
In the palace, Shan Jingyan heard that her father was in charge of the battle, Shan Jingyan was not unworried. Yesterday, she almost wanted to leave the palace and personally sent him, but was stopped by the people around her. She is now the queen and has become the new mother of the Dayuan. This identity seems to represent supreme glory and power in the eyes of others. But only she and the people around her know that there are so many invisible swords and swords hidden behind this glory and power, and she will be crushed to pieces if she is not careful.
It was less than two months since Emperor Zhongzong's funeral, and Shan Jingyan looked coldly at some people who could not wait and began to get ready to move. In the past half month, in the name of paying homage to the empress dowager, the new emperor had "climbed" two girls from the Chen family and Pei family in the harem.
However, Dayuan has always governed the country with benevolence and filial piety. As the king of a country, the emperor naturally has to set a good example. Therefore, he must always maintain a three-year filial piety to prepare for the harem selection.
Shan Jingyan sneered. The girls in these two families are no longer young. After waiting for another three years, they will become true old girls. Ordinary princes and princes can get married for free by just one year of filial piety. Shan Jingyan was curious, wondering what reasons and excuses these two families will use to delay their daughter's marriage in a year?
These thoughts flashed through Shan Jingyan's mind and she threw them aside. What worries her the most now is naturally her father who went to Liaoyangwei. However, after a thousand mountains and rivers were separated by her, she could only silently pray for her father to return safely in her heart.
As for Shan Jingyan, who is not a talent show, she really doesn't care. Anyway, she has three legitimate sons, so the new emperor has long been unable to give birth to it. No matter how many women enter the palace and have no children, it will not threaten her status at all. Even if she is lucky enough to get pregnant, she will not be able to surpass her.
In addition to worrying about her father, Shan Jingyan also worried that her mother was at home, so she sent the palace servant to the Duke's Mansion to take a look. When the palace servant came back, Madam Yun took Mu Yun's daughter Xiao Nanpiao and both of them were accompanying her mother in the Duke's Mansion, Shan Jingyan sighed silently. She didn't have to worry about her parents for the time being, so she turned her whole heart to the palace affairs.
Although the empress dowager gave up power very simply, some of the concubines of the late emperor stayed in the palace longer than the empress dowager. Many people still held a lot of power, otherwise how could the girls of the Chen family and Pei family "meet" the new emperor so easily? If no one in the palace sent them a letter, Shan Jingyan would be surprised!
To be honest, Shan Jingyan doesn't care that these women have put all their energy into seducing her husband, but now the lord of the harem is her, so no one is allowed to be outside her control in her acre of three-point land.
Those concubines were just widows of the late emperor. If they were more at ease, she would naturally not be stingy with the offerings. If she became a widow and didn't know how to restrain herself, then she wouldn't mind hitting the other party.
On the side of Duke Cheng's mansion, Xu left Mu Yun and Princess Yongchang to have a meal in the mansion. After the meal, Xu left the little pumpkin. Thinking that Madam Yun was there, Mu Yun agreed and asked someone to go back and pack up some of the little pumpkin's clothes.
Xu refused and said that Xiao Pumpkin had no shortage of food and clothing for her, so Mu Yun didn't have to go back to send clothes. Mu Yun thought about it and followed Xu's wishes.
It was already noon now, and Xu asked someone to take a nap with Xiao Pumpkin. Seeing that someone was walking away, Xu said with regret: "Because the late emperor was celebrating the heavens, it was a pity that the child of Jiashan would be postponed again."
Princess Yongchang replied with a smile: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I originally thought that she had an urgent marriage date. The dowry was not fine enough. The marriage was postponed now, and the extra time was enough for me to prepare some meticulous things for her."
Xu nodded and asked, "Then her furniture and other things have been prepared?"
