In the palace at noon, Huang Chenling, Yan Rongyan and other generals discussed how to defend against enemy attacks.
"Your Majesty, troops have been posted to guard the hills around Huangcheng, and the defenses on the coast have been strengthened a lot. However, the troops are scattered, and the general is worried that the palace area will be in danger of not being well protected," General Jiang Yuan said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it will take several days for the soldiers from other cities to come back. Do we really need to arrange it this way?" General Zui Zi asked in agreement.
"The outside is guarded. I think the palace is safe as well. There is no need to worry too much. Rong Yan, how are the people in the city doing?" Huang Chenling said.
"Of the people in the city who can be transferred, they have been transferred to other cities. There are still many who are unwilling to leave. The prefect has made appropriate arrangements for the injured and injured people." Yan Rongyan reported.
"Very good. The new weapons at the arsenal will be distributed to your soldiers tomorrow. You should arrange for the soldiers to familiarize themselves with the use of the weapons and continue training. Write a detailed report on the shortcomings of the weapons to me. Today
The meeting ends here, go back and guard it, don't let up," Huang Chenling said.
"Yes."
The three generals saluted him and left the hall.
Huang Chenling checked the time and saw that it was almost time to have dinner. He should have dinner with Wang Xiulin while he had some time. If he didn't take the initiative to find her, otherwise she would feel that he was deliberately neglecting her.
In the queen's palace, Wang Xiulin didn't care whether he came over to have a meal with him, but instead cared about whether Huang Fan'er had finished drinking the medicinal soup.
"Didn't I tell you to finish feeding him? It's cold now, why haven't you fed him yet? How did you slaves serve him?" Wang Xiulin stared at the intact medicine bowl on the high stool and asked the kneeling
People, training.
"Queen, please forgive me!" Several servants lowered their heads innocently, not daring to say more.
"It's none of their business. Don't lecture them. I don't want to take medicine today." Huang Fan'er said gloomily.
"If you don't drink medicine, your injury will not be swollen quickly. After a while, Dr. Li comes to help you change the medicine, but you are screaming in pain again, like a slaughtered pig." Wang Xiulin vomited and said.
When Huang Fan'er thought about being moved here and there to take care of things in the past few days, and how ugly he looked, he decided not to drink these medicinal decoctions for clearing blood and blood stasis.
Wang Xiulin saw that he had a straight face and said nothing. He was probably sulking.
"All of you, please leave. Get the medicine out, boil it again and bring it back." She asked all the servants to go out.
She and Huang Fan were the only ones in the palace.
"Do you feel hot and stuffy?" she asked. The weather has been relatively hot and humid these days, and he must be feeling very uncomfortable as he is wrapped in bandages.
"It's a little hot." Huang Fan'er whispered.
Wang Xiulin went to find a fan and fanned him personally to cool him down.
Huang Fan'er has been taken care of very considerately by Wang Xiulin these days. Huang Chenling has never been here. I don't know how Wang Xiulin explained to Huang Chenling. No one came to ask him to leave. Let him continue to enjoy this kind of thing.
Extraordinary treatment.
At this time, Huang Chenling came to the entrance of the palace.
When he pushed the door open and went in, he didn't know that Wang Xiulin was staying in the side hall to take care of Huang Fan'er. No one came to tell him that Wang Xiulin hid Huang Fan'er in the side hall without permission.
"Xiulin?" He looked around and called her.
Wang Xiulin stopped his hand and whispered to Huang Fan'er: "Just wait quietly and don't make any sound."
Huang Fan'er was confused as to why she kept silent. Didn't she tell the emperor that he was staying here temporarily?
Wang Xiulin quietly went out and closed the door of the side hall before going to see Huang Chenling with confidence.
"Brother Chenling, why are you here?" She deliberately walked around to the dressing room and came out of it as if nothing had happened.
Huang Chenling, who didn't pay attention, thought she had just finished changing her clothes and came out.
"I came to have dinner with you. The palace was attacked that day, and I didn't have time to come over and stay with you. Are you blaming me?" Huang Chenling said.
"No. Haven't you always been like this? Did you just notice it now?" Wang Xiulin's tone was quite calm, and he said everything he was worried about didn't matter.
Huang Chenling couldn't hear any signs of anger in her, and felt that she was a little abnormally calm. He thought that after the attack that day, she was frightened, so she didn't show too much excitement. The more he looked at it, the more strange it became.
.
At this time, Huang Fan's legs, which were raised up, suffered from cramps, and waves of unbearable pain spread throughout every part of his legs.
Wang Xiulin had not allowed him to make a sound just now. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a faint cry of pain: "Hiss...ah!"
"What's the sound?" Huang Chenling heard a sound coming from the side hall, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
"Ahem! Brother Chenling, I'm actually not feeling well today. I can't have dinner with you. Please go back." Wang Xiulin heard Huang Fan'er's voice and hurriedly sent Huang Chenling out.
"Have Dr. Li come here to see you? If not, ask him to come over immediately and have a look." Huang Chenling was like a mountain, standing still and not going out.
"I've seen it. It's just the sequelae of the shock when I was attacked last time. It will be fine if you just let me stay quietly. You can go out and do your work." Wang Xiulin pushed him away in disgust.
It was really the first time that Huang Chenling was treated like this by her, and she was actually pushed out.
"Are you really okay? You need to get more rest."
"fine."
After sending him out, immediately close and lock the door.
Wang Xiulin hurriedly ran to the side hall.
Huang Fan'er was so painful that his face turned blue.
"How is it? Where does it hurt?"
"It hurts..." he said vaguely.
Wang Xiulin directly thought that his legs were hurting. Doctor Li had said that lifting his legs and shaking them would relieve the pain.
So, she immediately lifted his legs and directly pulled the most painful part of him, "Ah——!" Huang Fan's eyes bulged in pain, and tears burst out of his eyes.
A loud shout came out, and Huang Chenling outside heard it. Huh? Isn't this voice the voice of Fan Hao?
He knew that Huang Fan'er was seriously injured, but he didn't know that Wang Xiulin would move him into the palace to take care of him.
"How long has the Queen allowed Fan Bo to stay here?" he asked one of the inner guards.
The inner guard did not dare to hide anything and said directly: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the Queen sent the injured Eleventh Prince to the side hall to take care of him after the last attack. It has been more than ten days."
"Oh, you don't have to come over to report for more than ten days."
"You deserve to die! This is actually the Queen's wish. I dare not not do it."
"Forget it. Just pretend you haven't told me. Just keep letting her be like this."
Huang Chenling finished speaking and left. He was thinking in his mind that something seemed to have happened between Xiulin and Fanyi, otherwise she would not have been so nervous to protect Fanyi.
In the side hall, Huang Fan'er turned sideways in pain and almost fell out of bed. Wang Xiulin caught him, fell on Wang Xiulin, and gently held him.
"I'm sorry, please bear with the pain, I'll call Dr. Li over."
"Hey, no need...it will be over soon..."
Huang Fan'er leaned against her and did not dare to move.
After a long time, he recovered and asked, "Did the Holy Spirit hear my voice just now?"
Wang Xiulin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said lightly: "I think so."
"I will explain it to him, don't worry." Huang Fan'er said.
"I'm not worried, and don't think too much about it. Do your legs still hurt?" Wang Xiulin deliberately avoided it and said.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Huang Fan'er wanted to move back.
"I'll help you, don't move around." Wang Xiulin hugged him and helped him lie down properly. He didn't know if his feet were slippery or it was just a temporary weakness that pressed on Huang Fan's broken arm.
"Ouch, hiss!"
"Sorry, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It won't hurt if I touch it." Wang Xiulin said as if he wanted to coax a child.
Huang Fan'er chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not a child, so there's no need to coax her like this."
Wang Xiulin looked at his smile with serious eyes.
Huang Fan'er retracted his smile and said instead: "I'm sorry."
Wang Xiulin asked: "What are you sorry for?"
"I shouldn't cause you any trouble." Huang Fan'er paused and said.
"You think you've caused enough trouble for me, why are you saying this now? I have nothing against you." Wang Xiulin made his words more ambiguous.
Huang Fan'er was silent for a moment. There was something he wanted to say to her, but it was stuck in his throat and he didn't dare to say it.
Seeing his mouth slightly open, Wang Xiulin thought he wanted to drink water and asked, "Want to drink some water? I'll pour it."
Huang Fan'er looked at her back and said to himself: I actually want to say that if we didn't have this kind of relationship and met earlier, maybe different things would have happened.
In the afternoon, inside the bathing hall of the mansion.
Yan Ruocheng helped Huang Fengmo wipe her body. She hadn't washed her body in a few days and it was a little smelly. She needed to wipe it off.
"Mr., is the water temperature okay?" Yan Ruocheng was helping him wash his hair.
"That's enough." Huang Fengmo closed her eyes quietly and let her wash her hands slowly.
"I haven't washed my hair for so long. Fortunately, I don't have fleas." Yan Ruocheng said while scratching his scalp.
"Why do you make it sound like I'm dirty? I stay in bed every day and have never been anywhere. How can I get fleas?" Huang Fengmo said pretending to be aggrieved.
"Hehe, I didn't say you were dirty, husband. I was just afraid that fleas would jump on your head. The day before yesterday, when I was helping people see a doctor, I met a few people with fleas on their heads." Yan Ruocheng said.
"Why did you go to the free clinic again? You didn't mean to let the prefect solve the people's problems. As my imperial concubine, you should not do such things in public again." Huang Fengmo said with some displeasure.
"Husband, I don't want to be superior to others because of my status as a royal concubine. You can leave me to the free clinic. If my medical skills don't go out to treat people often, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will forget my important original intention." Yan Ruocheng said.
"Now that I have treated a seriously injured person for you, don't you think it's enough? I don't like you going out for so long and leaving me alone in my house in a daze." Huang Fengmo said.
Yan Ruocheng smiled and said, "It turns out that my husband is afraid that he will be too bored, so he wants me to accompany him."
"Don't you want to stay with me?" Huang Fengmo pursed her lips.
"It's all up to you," Yan Ruocheng said coaxingly.
