Deadly fate

As Shen Yuexi said, Dr. Hua is a good doctor for treating arrow wounds.

What was difficult for the two doctors before was easy for Doctor Hua. In less than half an hour, he took out all the arrows that had been shot by King Meicheng of Xiliang.

In the room, Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi and Maipu watched the whole process of taking the arrow. Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo had known Doctor Hua's skills for a long time, but it was the first time for Maipu to see it and nodded frequently.

After Doctor Hua gave Mei Cheng good medicine, he warned: "Your Majesty, these two arrow wounds have been taken care of for you. It's just that the arrows used by the Xirong people are special, and they need to rest for a month to fully recover."

"Thank you, Doctor Hua, on my behalf." Mei Cheng signaled to Mipu with his eyes. Mipu immediately called his servants to reward Doctor Hua.

Doctor Hua was washing away the blood stains on his hands in the basin and declined: "His Royal Highness does not need any reward. His Royal Highness saved my whole family at Baixiu Mountain. This time I can only repay His Royal Highness for saving my life."

Ma Pu insisted that Doctor Hua accept it, but Doctor Hua firmly refused.

Shen Yuexi smiled and said, "Doctor Hua, you're welcome."

Doctor Hua refused again and again, packed up the medicine box, and said to Mei Cheng: "Your Majesty, you must not get angry until the arrow sore heals. If the arrow sore ruptures, even an old man will be unable to recover."

Mei Cheng lowered his head and said: "Doctor Hua is so righteous, and I cannot get up to see him off, so Pu'er will see off Dr. Hua on my behalf."

Shen Yuexi stopped him and said, "Prince Mei, the prince still needs someone to take care of him. I will just send Doctor Hua out."

Maipu thanked him and stayed with Xiao Zhuo.

Shen Yuexi accompanied Doctor Hua out of the room where the Xiliang King was, and walked towards the backyard of the Prefect's Mansion.

Xiao Zhuo drove away the Xirong people and rescued the Xiliang prince and his son. She thought the result was perfect. She joked to Doctor Hua:

"Doctor Hua, the prince has rewarded me with so many taels of silver, why don't you accept it? Your son Hua Duoduo was sitting in court, but he asked me for 10 taels of medical expenses."

Doctor Hua already knew that his son had dealt with Shen Yuexi, so he laughed sarcastically and said: "My son is a bit unsatisfactory, loves money and cheats, but he is good to his family. Since ancient times, no one is perfect, and the old man is content. As for Xiliang As a reward from the king, I am not a greedy person. If Prince Mei had not saved my family, I would not have wanted to treat the King of Xiliang."

Shen Yuexi remembered that she saw the battlefield where the two sides were fighting on the road. At that time, Doctor Hua saw that many dead soldiers could not be restrained, and expressed dissatisfaction with the King of Xiliang.

Doctors are kind-hearted, and Dr. Hua and his son are both kind-hearted people.

After sending Doctor Hua to the backyard room to rest, Shen Yuexi took another look at Mrs. Li and Li Wan. Both of them were dissatisfied with Maple and had never seen the Xiliang Prince and his son. Fortunately, Mapu had promised not to After embarrassing them, Shen Yuexi felt relieved.

She returned to the front yard and went to the room where the King of Xiliang was to look for Xiao Zhuo.

Entering the room, King Xiliang was talking to Xiao Zhuo and Mei Pu. Shen Yuexi didn't want to disturb them, so she stood quietly beside Xiao Zhuo.

"...It turns out that it was Xiao Kai who caused my son to become like this. My Mei family and Jingzhou are at odds with each other." Mei Cheng said bitterly.

Mapu comforted him: "Father, Doctor Hua has told you not to get angry. The child's business is a small matter."

"Now that Xirong has retreated, I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to take charge of the army together with Pu'er and temporarily guard Zhangwu." Mei Cheng said to Xiao Zhuo, "When the king recovers from his injuries, we will fight back to Yongwei together."

Xiao Zhuo said: "My lord, please recover from your injuries first, and leave the rest to me and Prince Mei."

"By the way, Pu'er," Mei Cheng turned to look at Mei Pu, "The Jingzhou army attacked Yongwei. Didn't the princess and the others escape already? Where are they now?"

Shen Yuexi remembered that the people from the palace were running faster than her, but she didn't know why they hadn't reached Zhang Wu yet.

"Father, don't worry. The baby's mother is safe and sound. The news is that the car broke down on the road and repairs took some time," Maple said. "It will be there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Hey, women are troublesome. It's important to escape, but you can't bear to throw away a car..."

Mei Cheng complained a few words, turned around and saw Shen Yuexi standing next to Xiao Zhuo, laughed dryly and said: "Prince Concubine, don't pay attention, it is the king who speaks without restraint."

Shen Yuexi felt that the King of Xiliang was right. Now is the time of chaos, the road is not so safe, and it is indeed unwise to waste time.

She and Xiao Zhuo bid farewell to the King of Xiliang together and returned to their room in the backyard to rest.

The chicken soup had already cooled down completely. Shen Yuexi heated the chicken soup again, but it still didn't feel that good. After it was cooked and not eaten, if it was reheated, it would be regarded as leftovers. Xiao Zhuo had worked so hard in the war, how could he give leftovers.

She originally wanted not to give Xiao Zhuo a drink, but Xiao Zhuo refused and said, "I don't care. As long as it's Yue Xi's cooking, I like to eat it."

Shen Yuexi had no choice but to serve it to him.

After the meal, she smiled and sat on Xiao Zhuo's lap and joked: "When did His Highness learn to talk sweetly?"

This was not the case when I first met Xiao Zhuo. At that time, he had a sinister look on his face, and he was so frightened that people did not dare to approach him.

Xiao Zhuo put his hand around her waist and said with a serious face: "As a prince, you need to be able to be both civil and military, so naturally you should be familiar with sweet words. It's just that I have no use for it until I meet Qingqing."

While talking, Xiao Zhuo's hand touched her chest.

Shen Yuexi glared at him.

"Yue Xi, isn't your husband's intention clear enough?" Xiao Zhuo immediately put down his hand obediently.

"I know you are wholehearted. But now the war is raging, and my husband is still here and our children are still in love." Shen Yuexi stretched out a finger, "The Jingzhou Army occupied Yongwei with 200,000 soldiers. Will they stop there? "

"This is one of them." Xiao Zhuo nodded in agreement.

"Although Xirong retreats, will he come back?"

"Yeah, two fingers."

"Xiao Beiheng's 50,000 Dingbei Army is watching from the east. This is the third item."

Shen Yuexi stretched out her third finger, put them together and tapped Xiao Zhuo's forehead: "There are so many things, please solve them for me quickly. Don't let your wife be worried all day long."

"If we don't solve this problem, we can't have fun with my wife, okay?" Xiao Zhuo gently held her finger, "I have been waiting for my husband for a long time."

With that said, Xiao Zhuo stood up and carried Shen Yuexi towards the bed: "It's getting late, let's go to bed."

"You can sleep, but you are not allowed to move your hands or feet."

"As commanded."

…

Two days passed, and on the third day, the convoy from Xiliang Prince's Palace still hadn't arrived. Shen Yuexi vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she and Xiao Zhuo went to find Maipu. When they arrived at the Prefect's Mansion, they were told by a servant that Mapu had been married. Lead a group of cavalry to find him.

Mei Cheng said to Xiao Zhuo: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned. I am unable to get up, so Pu'er led his troops to pick him up."

While they were talking, Zhang Song came to see the King of Xiliang. He said that the Jingzhou army had occupied Yongwei. Prince Jing's son, General Xiao Kai, sent a gift to the King of Xiliang and his son.

Shen Yuexi thought to herself: This Xiao Kai is also very different. He took over someone else's city, did such a thing, and even gave him gifts.

"It's not polite to be polite. You took over my king's city, and you still pretended to be pretentious and threw away the gift!" Mei Cheng ordered Zhang Song to throw away the gift.

Zhang Song said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Jingzhou specifically said that if the King of Xiliang loses this gift, he will definitely regret it. You must see it."

Mei Cheng said: "It's just a joke. He calls me here and there thinking who the king is."

Zhang Song did not dare to disobey, so he had to leave.

As soon as Zhang Song left, Mei Pu rushed in and said to Mei Cheng: "Father, I led the cavalry to search in the direction of Yongwei, but never saw my mother and concubine. Later, I found a passerby and learned that my mother and concubine were in the middle of the road. Dao was overtaken by the Jingzhou Army cavalry and snatched back."

"What?" Mei Cheng was shocked, sat up on the bed with both hands, and said loudly: "Zhang Song, Zhang Song!"

Zhang Song did not go far when he heard the call of the King of Xiliang and hurried back.

"Bring Jingzhou's gift quickly." Mei Cheng raised his finger and pointed at him.

Zhang Song didn't know why the king of Xiliang was so excited, so he turned around and ordered the sergeant waiting in the courtyard to take the gift into the house.

The gift is very simple, just a red package.

Maple ordered someone to place the package on the table, took out his sword, and opened the package. Inside was a half-foot-square wooden box, with a letter on top of the wooden box.

Mapu put down his sword and picked up the letter. He saw the words "Jingzhou General Xiao Kaixi and personally signed by Prince Liang" written on it.

As he got out of bed, Mei Cheng scolded: "Don't read the letter, hurry up and open the box!"

Mapu handed the letter to Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi who were standing nearby, and went to open the wooden box. Shen Yuexi opened the letter, and there was only a line of blood writing on it, which read:

The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable.

At this time, Mapu had opened the wooden box. Mei Cheng took the first look, screamed, and fainted on the ground. Mapu also sat down on the ground and screamed: "Mother Concubine!"

The wooden box fell to the ground, and a woman's head rolled out of it.
