Li Xiuwan didn't have time to care about Jiujiu because of a pill. Jiujiu also received a letter from Xiao Rong.
It had been three or four months since Xiao Rong went to the border. This was the first time that Xiao Rong wrote a letter to Jiujiu.
Xiao Rong said in the letter that the environment at the border was worse than he had imagined. The people at the border lived a very hard life.
The food and clothes he ate in the border couldn't be compared with those in the capital. He ate coarse bread and wore very rough clothes. However, it was a very rich life for the people at the border.
Even though the life was so hard, the people at the border were still very simple and kind.
However, the kinder and more simple the people at the border were, the more Xiao Rong felt that the Xiongnu people who caused the problems of the people at the border were very hateful. If possible, he hoped that he could drive the Xiongnu people to the north so that they wouldn't dare to come back.
In the end, Xiao Rong praised the medicine that Jiujiu gave him for being very effective.
No matter how serious the disease was, it could be cured by the medicine.
However, the living conditions of the people at the border were very poor and their health was very poor. Although Jiujiu's medicine was good, it was just a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. It would be better if Jiujiu could come to the border.
Xiao Rong's last sentence was a little selfish, but it was also from the bottom of his heart.
He naturally hoped that Jiujiu could be with him at the border. However, he also hoped that the people at the border could live a better life like the people in the capital. It would be best if everyone had food to eat and could afford to be treated when they were sick.
Jiujiu thought for a moment. Although there were some emergencies in the capital, the doctors in her clinic were all very skilled. Moreover, after her own training during this period of time, there were basically no problems. Even if she encountered a more urgent patient, as long as she went to Grand Princess Jiarong and asked her to find the imperial physician in the palace, it would be fine.
Thinking of this, Jiujiu wanted to go to the border.
Jiujiu told Elder Princess Jiarong her idea. Elder Princess Jiarong thought carefully and thought it was feasible.
Jiujiu had excellent medical skills. She could go to the border to treat the people there as Xiao Rong said. Besides, she could help to take care of Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong's departure was a year and a half earlier, but three to five years later.
No matter how old a man was, he could find a girl he liked. However, a girl's age was the most valuable factor. If she was old, she wouldn't be able to find a good man in her heart.
Princess Royal Jiarong secretly hoped that Xiao Rong could take Jiujiu as soon as possible. Then the two of them would have a good relationship.
Thinking about it this way, Jiujiu going to the border would have nothing to lose.
Princess Jiarong agreed. After this period of time, Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin could see that Jiujiu was an upright person. Although the two of them were reluctant, they could only watch as Jiujiu left.
Jiujiu went to the border. As a woman, it was inconvenient for her to dress up as a man.
Jiujiu was gorgeous in women's clothes, but she was elegant in men's clothes. She was like a fairy in heaven that could only be seen from afar.
Even Xiao Rong couldn't help being a little dazed when he saw Jiujiu in men's clothes for the first time.
He thought that if Jiujiu was really a man, would he be as moved as he was at that time?
Although it was a little absurd, Xiao Rong felt that the answer was yes.
He liked Jiujiu from the bottom of his soul. It was as if Jiujiu's appearance had opened a mechanism in his body. This had nothing to do with Jiujiu's gender. As long as it was this person, he would like it.
Xiao Rong quickly prepared a medical center for Jiujiu near the military camp.
Jiujiu's medical center only charged three coins, no matter what illness it was.
Although the people at the border were poor, they could still afford three coins.
Moreover, Jiujiu only charged three coins, and the medicine was free. Those who couldn't afford to see a doctor because the medical center was too expensive flocked to see a doctor.
While Jiujiu was helping the people at the border, he also recruited apprentices. The apprentices didn't have a salary, but they were provided with three meals a day.
Many people who couldn't afford to raise children sent their children to the medical center as apprentices.
On the one hand, they could learn a craft. On the other hand, they could eat their fill.
Jiujiu's medical skills were superb. Soon, he became a famous miracle-working doctor. Although there were local ruffians who wanted to come to the medical center to ask for benefits, they were soon driven away by Xiao Rong's army. Jiujiu's medical center became a safe haven for the army.
With the army's protection and the miracle-working doctor Jiujiu's medical protection, the medical center soon became the best place in people's minds.
Jiujiu stayed at the border for three years.
She watched Xiao Rong's army drive the Xiongnu to the barren land in the north and didn't dare to invade again.
Because of Xiao Rong, the border became prosperous little by little. When Xiao Rong returned to the capital, the people at the border spontaneously sent him off.
When Xiao Rong left, Jiujiu naturally had to leave as well.
In the three years that Jiujiu was there, she had trained several excellent doctors. She also left behind medical books for her apprentices. After she left, she didn't need to worry about the border anymore.
When Xiao Rong left, he was still a young boy. When he returned, he was already an indomitable man.
After three years, when Princess Jiarong saw Xiao Rong's face that had become dark, rough, and resolute, she couldn't help but cry.
In other people's eyes, Xiao Rong had become a great general and a great hero of the country. However, in the eyes of Princess Jiarong, he had suffered a lot to turn from a child who was taken care of by others to a man of indomitable spirit.
When the Emperor saw his nephew, who used to be a tyrant in the capital, become so indomitable and thought of Xiao Rong's achievements, he couldn't help but pat his nephew on the shoulder. "Good job. You have the shadow of your father."
Xiao Rong knelt down to thank the Emperor. "I was lucky to succeed."
The Emperor helped Xiao Rong up and said with a smile, "You don't have to be polite to your uncle. Tell me, do you have anything you want? Except for the throne, I will satisfy you."
When the Ministers heard the Emperor's words, they were amazed. The Emperor loved Xiao Rong so much that he could give him anything except the throne.
As for the Crown Prince, he had grown a lot during the time when Xiao Rong was away. He also read a lot of the daily letters between Xiao Rong and the Emperor. He also understood why his father liked this little cousin so much. For Xiao Rong, the Crown Prince respected and loved him, but he was not jealous or suspicious.
This was because he knew how much his little cousin had suffered for the sake of the stability of his country.
Xiao Rong knelt down again. "I want the Emperor's grace."
"For you and Commandery Princess Nancheng's marriage?"
Before Xiao Rong went to war, he said that if he came back, he hoped that the Emperor would grant him and Commandery Princess Nancheng's marriage. Now he came back and his intention didn't change. He was really a good boy who was affectionate and righteous.
Xiao Rong came back with glory. The Emperor granted him and Commandery Princess Nancheng's marriage. Because the two were not young, everything was simple and they got married in a few days.
In fact, it was simple.
But after Jiujiu went to the border, Princess Jiarong and the Dongbei family had been preparing.
