Han Yunxi lazily got up and wrapped her clothes around herself. Just as she was about to get up, she was suddenly startled awake. She carefully sniffed the air and immediately recognized that it was the aroma of old hen soup.
She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat! She blurted out, "Zhao mama!"
As soon as her voice fell, the curtain was suddenly lifted. She saw Zhao mama standing by the curtain. She seemed to have specially dressed up. Her hair was neatly combed, and there were many vows inserted. Her face was radiant and her spirit was refreshed.
She held the curtain with one hand and the other hand was very politely placed on her abdomen. Her lean body stood perfectly straight, very much like a rigid old court lady in the palace.
However, her face was smiling like the Maitreya Buddha, and her eyes were squinted into a straight line.
"Master, this old servant is here!"
After Zhao mama finished speaking, she no longer had any manners. She covered her mouth with both hands and began to laugh, unable to close her mouth.
The day before yesterday, when she received His Highness's order, she and a shadow guard rushed over day and night. If it wasn't for the fact that she brought ten old hens and was delayed several times on the way, she would have arrived yesterday evening instead of at dawn.
Han Yunxi's mouth twitched a few times before she spoke, "Zhao mama, long time no see …"
Zhao mama glanced outside and quickly came in. She leaned close to Han Yunxi's ear and whispered, "Master, His Highness' Shadow Guard has told this old servant everything. Master, don't worry, this old servant will call you Princess in the future. This old servant is not from East Qin or Western Qin. This old servant is one of you and His Highness' people … "
As she spoke, she couldn't help but giggle twice. She forced herself to stop and continued, "In the future, I will also be one of Little Master's people."
"Little Master?" Han Yunxi was stunned and didn't understand.
Granny Zhao smiled again. This smile could really be regarded as a joyous occasion. "Hehe, Princess, His Highness asked this old servant to come here. Did he explain everything clearly to this old servant?"
"What did he tell you?" Han Yunxi suddenly felt a little scared.
"His Highness told this old servant to nourish the princess's body well in the next few days. I can't let the princess feel the slightest discomfort!" Granny Zhao replied honestly.
Han Yunxi almost banged her head against the wall when she heard the words "in the next few days" and "in the next few days". What was Long Fei Ye trying to do?
Zhao mama was a shrewd old woman who'd come from the depths of the palace. She'd be able to understand Long Feiye's implicit words perfectly. Even if Long Feiye didn't have an underlying meaning, she'd be able to extend it to infinity.
Zhao mama sat down on the edge of the tatami and said earnestly, "Mistress, His Highness was in such a hurry to find this old servant. You must be tired out these few days, right? Look at your face, it's already pale. This old servant has already told you that His Highness is young and full of vigor and energy. At his age, an ordinary man would already have three wives and four concubines. He only has you. If he doesn't torment you, who else can he torment? Look, you didn't listen to your elders and now you're suffering, right? If this old servant didn't guess wrong, His Highness must have been tormenting you every night these few days, right? "
As Zhao mama spoke, she snickered and her eyes began to size up Han Yunxi's body. As she looked, she said, "Princess, this old servant will remind you again. His Highness is at the age where he's like a wolf or a tiger. You have to understand …"
"Stop!" Han Yunxi anxiously shouted. Her face was really pale.
Zhao mama wasn't a virgin Baili Mingxiang, but a shrewd old palace maid. Many shameful things in the palace were taught by old palace maids like her. Even if Long Fei Ye didn't understand, she would definitely understand!
Did Long Fei Ye really call Zhao mama here just to make chicken soup for her to nourish her body? If she believed him, she wouldn't be surnamed Han!
"Princess, this old servant hasn't finished speaking. This old servant means …"
"I know what you mean. No need to say more. Bring your soup over, I'll drink it all."
"Princess, drinking it all is a must! However, things are different now. This old servant has something to say to the princess. "Zhao mama's face was serious, even a little stern.
"How is things different now? If I drink it, then …"
Before Han Yunxi could finish, she immediately regretted it. As soon as she stopped, Zhao mama immediately continued, "Of course things are different now! In the past, when the princess was unconscious, His Highness ordered this to nourish the princess's body. But now, the princess is … "
"Where's the soup? I'm hungry. Hurry and bring it over. "Han Yunxi forcefully interrupted.
Zhao mama hurriedly brought over the cooked chicken soup. "Your Highness, I only arrived at dawn today. Time was too rushed, so I only made pure chicken soup. This old servant brought a lot of medicinal herbs and ten old hens. From tomorrow onwards … "
"Aren't you afraid that Baili Yuanlong and the others will find out?" Han Yunxi's face was completely pale.
Zhao mama smiled mysteriously. "Your Highness, this old servant has been in the palace for so many years and has never made a mistake, much less in the army. Don't worry, this old servant has a way. "
"What way?" Han Yunxi was still worried.
"This old servant will come and serve Miss Mingxiang? Miss Mingxiang will be of great use by His Highness's side. This old servant will come and serve her. Great General Baili will be overjoyed! "Zhao mama chuckled.
Han Yunxi understood.
"Your Highness …"
"I'll drink the soup first, alright?"
"Alright, alright. This old servant won't disturb the princess any longer. Princess, please drink slowly."
When Zhao mama said she wouldn't disturb, she didn't mean to withdraw. She knelt on the side and watched over her. Han Yunxi drank very slowly, but there was still a time when she finished the entire bowl.
As soon as she put down the bowl, Zhao mama took out two books with black covers and handed them to her with a chuckle.
"What?" Han Yunxi didn't understand. She casually opened the book and her worldview was completely destroyed.
These books were none other than the enlightenment books the palace gave to the princes. They were similar to Chun gong.
Seeing that Han Yunxi's face was red, Zhao mama lowered her voice. "Princess, although His Highness dotes on you, you still have to know how to make him happy. Do you understand? In the future, His Highness will definitely be the ruler of a country. He will have three palaces and six courtyards, and it will be inevitable for the imperial family to flourish. If you don't learn a bit, you won't be able to guarantee that there will be someone younger and prettier than you in the future. Forgive this old servant for saying something unpleasant, but men are all greedy. "
Han Yunxi looked at Zhao mama and suddenly realized that Zhao mama was like an old woman who had weathered countless trials and tribulations in the palace. She had seen through everything.
She was right. Men were all greedy. Moreover, as the only heir of the imperial family, Long Fei Ye had the responsibility of flourishing the imperial family's bloodline. No matter how favored a woman was, she had to resign herself to adversity.
However, this law didn't apply to her! She wanted to see what Long Fei Ye would do in the future!
"Princess, do you understand?" Zhao mama pointed at the two books in Han Yunxi's hands.
"I understand, I understand. Many thanks, mama," Han Yunxi said perfunctorily, then casually stuffed the two books under her pillow.
"Zhao mama, how are things at Pill Fiend Pharmacy? How are Little Yi 'er and Seventh Madame?" Han Yunxi asked.
"Everything is fine at Pill Fiend Pharmacy. As for the Han family, this old servant hasn't seen them in a while. The princess isn't in the residence, and Seventh Madame rarely comes over, "Zhao mama replied.
Han Yunxi nodded. "Mama, you can leave first. I'll change my clothes. I'll walk around with Xu Donglin."
Since she was free to walk around, Han Yunxi wanted to go out and get some fresh air. Of course, she also took the opportunity to send Zhao mama away. Otherwise, who knew if Zhao mama would ask her about the details of her relationship with Long Fei Ye?
Just thinking about it was scary!
Han Yunxi and Xu Donglin leisurely strolled around the camp. Han Yunxi discovered that the camp was divided into three parts. They were in the center, where the main camp and rations were. On the two sides, one was where the troops were stationed, and the other was where the training grounds were. Not far ahead was the battlefield.
As soon as she and Xu Donglin approached Long Fei Ye's main tent, they were immediately stopped by several mermaid soldiers. She didn't insist and turned to leave.
She had a premonition that Long Fei Ye wouldn't be back so soon.
As expected, Long Feiye sent someone to report that he wouldn't be back until three days later. A few Northern Li spies with high martial arts had been discovered in the nearby towns. It wasn't clear whether they were sent by the Northern Li imperial clan or the Wind Clan.
Han Yunxi could only settle down and focus on cultivating the third level of her poison storage space. But how could it be so easy to settle down? She couldn't sleep for two consecutive nights.
Long Fei Ye was not only dealing with the spies, but also paying attention to the situation of the Feng clan in Northern Li.
In a secret residence in the city, he had just finished interrogating two spies and ordered people to silence them when the Shadow Guard came over.
"Your Highness, Helian and her son have been handed over to Concubine Xiao's people. They are expected to arrive at the Northern Li imperial capital in ten days at the earliest." The Shadow Guard reported truthfully.
Concubine Xiao was the biggest chess piece that Long Fei Ye had placed beside the Northern Dynasties Emperors.
Concubine Xiao was not only a secret agent, but also a pillow talk that could influence the decisions of the Northern Dynasties Emperors.
"Where is Jun Yi Xie?" Long Fei Ye asked.
"He has been confined to Northern Li's Tianhe City. The thirty thousand horses are all left in the western suburbs of Tianhe City. To the outside, it is said that they need to be examined by a veterinarian to prevent the horse plague. "The Shadow Guard reported truthfully.
Long Fei Ye's lips curled into a cold smile. The Northern Dynasties Emperors' actions were faster than he had expected. He was afraid that Ning Cheng would definitely sow discord.
Long Fei Ye was not in a hurry. As long as Concubine Xiao's side took action, the Northern Dynasties Emperors would definitely not let Jun Yi Xie go. At that time, the old fox behind Jun Yi Xie would have no choice but to appear.
Of course, the old fox would most likely appear in advance because the bait, Baili Mingxiang, had long been targeted.
The few spies who returned to the city this time were aiming for Baili Mingxiang.
He didn't believe that the old fox would not appear if he acted on both sides.
"What's the situation on Ning Cheng's side?" Long Fei Ye asked again.
"I couldn't find out anything, but the princess sent a letter to Gu," the Shadow Guard reported.
Han Yunxi had told him about how Gu and Mu Ling 'er had interrogated Bai Yuqiao in the capital.
Long Fei Ye had always treated Gu as a troublemaker and was too lazy to pay attention to him. If they could get something out of Bai Yuqiao's mouth, they wouldn't have to wait so long.
Long Fei Ye thought for a while before saying, "Serve him with brush and ink."
He personally wrote a letter to Gu Beiyue and sent it to Chu Tianyin, who then contacted Gu Beiyue.
Gu Beiyue had the right to know the truth. As for Gu Beiyue's choice, Long Fei Ye couldn't force him. After all, Gu Beiyue had chosen to work with him in order to hide Han Yunxi's identity. Now everything had changed.
After sending off the letter, Long Fei Ye asked casually, "Where's Baili Yuanlong?"
"The general is still personally distributing the weapons in the west. He's asked Your Highness to go over and inspect them," the Shadow Guard replied.
The ceasefire was to prepare for an even bigger battle. The Tang Clan had secretly delivered a new batch of weapons to the city. Baili Yuanlong had personally arranged for them. Once he was done, Long Fei Ye could look over them and secretly distribute them to the various armies.
Once this matter was settled, they could go back. The soonest was evening, and the latest was night.
"Tell him this crown prince will be there later," Long Fei Ye said before putting on his mask and heading out the door. The Shadow Guard didn't understand. He glanced back and saw His Highness heading for the streets. Was His Highness going to buy something?
But when had His Highness ever bought anything himself?
