Ye Li frowned slightly. She thought for a while and said, "Invite Madame Bai to the post house." The guard behind her responded, picked up Madame Bai, and disappeared in front of everyone.
The Emperor Of Xiling left, leaving behind an empty palace. The West-Hill's palace was smaller than the Da Chu State's palace and the former imperial palace in the south of Da Chu State. But no matter how small it was, it was still a palace. And Mo Xiuyao obviously had no intention of moving to West-Hill, so the disposal of the palace became a problem. Throughout history, the former imperial palaces were either used as new imperial palaces or as temporary palaces. Or they were left abandoned for a long time and gradually destroyed. However, this was not in line with King Ding's way of doing things. In the end, Mo Xiuyao thought about it and decided that the front half of the palace would be scrapped of those things that were specially used by the Emperor and it would become the highest administrative yamen in Xi Ling Imperial City in the future. The second half, the harem, would be closed for the time being. They would make plans in the future.
Because they were leaving West-Hill soon, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li did not plan to move into the palace and have fun living there. After sending off the Emperor Of Xiling, they returned to the post house where they were temporarily staying. The first thing Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao did after returning to the post house was to visit Xu Qingbai, who was still recuperating.
Although Xu Qingbai's vital parts were not injured, his injuries were still very serious. After a few days of recuperation, he could only sit on the bed and talk to them while leaning on a pillow. When Ye Li went in, Madame Xu was feeding Xu Qingbai medicine. Xu Qingbai could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. He was already so old, and his hand was not injured. It was always uncomfortable for his mother to feed him medicine personally. Seeing Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao come in, his eyes lit up as if he had seen his saviors. How could Madam Xu not know what he was thinking? She snorted unhappily and said, "No matter who it is, finish the medicine first!"
Xu Qingbai said helplessly, "Mother, pass me the bowl. I can drink it myself." He could even hold the bowl and drink it in one gulp, one mouthful at a time … One had to know that the taste of medicinal soup had never been good! Mrs. Xu looked at him with a faint smile and said, "Now you know that the medicine is bitter? Then shouldn't he recuperate properly? Do you think I don't know that you read those files again last night? "
These words made Ye Li feel a little guilty. If they had not been in a hurry to leave West-Hill, Fourth Brother would not have had to worry about recuperating.
Finally, Madam Xu had enough of seeing her son's handsome face turn bitter. She handed the pill to him. Xu Qingbai hurriedly took the bowl and gulped it down. He cried and frowned. Mrs. Xu angrily stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth, then took the empty bowl and left.
Fourth Young Master Xu was a little embarrassed to be seen in such an embarrassing state by his cousin and cousin-in-law. He smiled at them and said, "Has the Emperor Of Xiling left?"
Ye Li nodded and sat down by the bed. She carefully looked at Xu Qingbai's complexion and found that it was better than yesterday. She said, "We just sent him away. Fourth Brother, are you in a hurry to look at those things again? Rest well before your injuries are healed. If something really happens, don't you still have Xiu Yao and Feng San? " Xu Qingbai smiled and said, "I've been lying in bed for so many days. It's quite boring to do nothing. I'm just looking around." Xu Qingbai glanced at Mo Xiuyao, who was sitting on a stool, and asked, "When do you plan to go back?" Now that the Da Chu State was in a mess, it was a good time for them to annex West-Hill. But West-Hill was vast. Although it was so easy to fall into the hands of the Emperor Of Xiling this time, there was an element of luck in it. If they really wanted to take over the entire West-Hill, three to five years wouldn't be a long time. If the Northern Tribes and Lei Zhenting were to gain a foothold in the Da Chu State, then the losses would outweigh the gains. After all, no matter how big West-Hill was, it couldn't compare to the rich land of the Da Chu State.
Mo Xiuyao said seriously, "In half a month. Li is pregnant, so the journey will be slower. We can't stay for long. "
Xu Qingbai nodded and calculated, "Half a month is enough. I should be able to get out of bed by then." Mo Xiuyao said, "I've already sent a message to Shen Yang. He should be able to sense it before we leave."
Xu Qingbai was stunned. He shook his head and smiled, "There's no need for that. Mr. Shen still has to take care of Li 'er."
Ye Li pressed him down and frowned, "Why is there no need? I'm only pregnant. It's not like I'm injured. Childbirth requires a midwife, not a doctor. Besides, do you think Glass City doesn't have a doctor? If you don't take good care of yourself, First Aunt will be very sad. "Xu Qingbai still wanted to say something, but Ye Li glared at him and said firmly," You're not allowed to object! Mr. Shen has already said that he's been annoyed by being trapped in Glass City for the past few years. It's a good thing to be able to go out and take a walk. Moreover, West-Hill is a place that just fell into our hands. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't suppress a snake in its old haunts. With a doctor with great medical skills, we'll be more at ease. "
Xu Qingbai knew that he couldn't win against Ye Li. He could only smile helplessly and agree.
Mo Xiuyao continued, "The other three hundred thousand soldiers will remain in West-Hill. The commander will be Zhang Qilan. Zhang Qilan's personality is straightforward, but he's not obstinate and self-opinionated. There shouldn't be any problems between the two of you. What do you think? " Xu Qingbai naturally didn't have any objections. Although the Mohist army had taken over West-Hill, Xu Qingbai didn't think that it would be peaceful just like that. Zhang Qilan was also a veteran of the Mohist army. He had rich experience in leading troops. Xu Qingbai naturally felt more at ease with him leading the three hundred thousand soldiers.
Ye Li thought of Lady Xu and quickly asked, "Does First Aunt want to go back with us?"
Xu Qingbai smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Mother knows that I'm going to stay in West-Hill. I'm afraid she's planning to stay here for a while." In fact, Lady Xu's original words were, "I can't control your elder brother. Your younger brother is younger than you. If I don't see you get married and have children, I won't return to the Xu family! " Lady Xu's standards for her daughter-in-law had been lowered from a scholarly family in Da Chu State to a clean family background and a good mood.
Looking at Xu Qingbai's helpless expression, Ye Li could also imagine what Lady Xu had said. She pondered for a while and agreed with a smile, "Since that's the case, First Aunt must be worried about Fourth Brother. It won't hurt to stay in West-Hill for a while. When First Aunt misses us, she can send someone to welcome us. " Mo Xiuyao didn't have any objections. He nodded and said, "That's great. In half a month, Li Li and I will return to Glass City. I'll leave everything here to you. "
Xu Qingbai hesitated for a while, but still expressed his worries. He said, "I don't have much experience before, I'm afraid …"
Mo Xiuyao frowned and thought for a while. He understood Xu Qingbai's worries. Xu Qingbai was only twenty-four or twenty-five this year, but he was already in charge of one-third of West-Hill's territory. He could be said to be the most powerful of the feudal officials. It was normal for him to be unable to convince the masses in a short period of time. He believed in Xu Qingbai's abilities, but abilities needed time to show. After they left the Imperial City, Xu Qingbai's life wouldn't be so easy. Previously, he only considered abilities and also the Prince Ding Mansion. Now that there weren't enough people, he forgot to consider Xu Qingbai's age.
