The princess is delicate, and the cold and cruel prince regent is teased

Chapter 247

When Duke Zhen spoke, he lowered his head and sighed, "Blame me for being reckless. I wanted to win the battle as soon as possible and drive them away, but I didn't want to fall!"

He almost never came back.

The [-] troops surrounding the city of Yongjing are not stragglers who can be trained by King Yu, without the slightest combat effectiveness!

Their combat power is extremely strong, and the leader is more strategic. He can't figure out the opponent's way, but the opponent knows his method of using troops very well.

Jiang Qingyan pondered, "The enemy general has nothing else to think about but Mu Guogong, it's a pity... until now we have no evidence of his rebellion!"

Now it is King Yu who is blatantly raising troops to rebel.

In Mu Guogong's mansion, there is no news, except for the crime of disappearance, no one can charge him with any crime, and if Yongjing City falls this time...

"Where have the troops of the prince and Old General Yang marched?" Jiang Qingyan asked.

She knew the other party's strategy this time was to use General Yang to lure Jun Qinglan out, and when he reached the border, he would start a war and take advantage of the chaos to take down Yongjing City.

Now that the opponent's troops are too strong, the only thing they can count on is that Jun Qinglan rush back from the border as soon as possible.

"The border is thousands of miles away from Yongjing City. The prince marched with a large army, day and night, and it would take three or four days to get back. But now... I am not sure that I will be able to hold out until the prince comes back to help."

Duke Zhen's expression was solemn. He thought that even if Jun Qinglan was about to arrive in Yongjing City, he would still face the troops from Qiongzhou and Qingzhou. Moreover, the granary was occupied, and the hearts of the people in Yongjing City were floating. The price of rice has already risen, and I don't know how long it can last.

Now Yongjing City is under attack, and Jun Qinglan's rush to help, I don't know if it will be timely.

"I need to trouble you more about the matters on the battlefield. You must guard the city of Yongjing." Jiang Qingyan nodded slightly.

Duke Zhen stood up, even though his arm was injured, he insisted on clasping his fists and gave Jiang Qingyan a deep bow, "My concubine is righteous, she saved this minister, and even saved our soldiers. I really admire this minister, my minister! You must lead your army to defend Yongjing City to the death, and you will never let the enemy succeed!"

Jiang Qingyan raised his arm, "Duke Zhen doesn't have to be like this, I am the regent princess, one body with the prince and his wife, and I also have responsibilities to the people of Li. I will do my best to protect the people of Yongjing City."

Duke Zhen's eyes filled with excitement, and he was about to say some more words of praise for Jiang Qingyan when his lieutenant hurried into the tent and whispered bad news in his ear.

Duke Zhen's face suddenly changed, "This...how can I do this?"

Before Jiang Qingyan left, she asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"The old King Zhongshan... fell ill!" Duke Zhen's face was livid.

When Jiang Qingyan heard this, she hurried to the palace with the medicine box in hand.

At this moment, in Yongjing City, the Duke of Zhen Guo is guarding the outside of the city, and the King of Zhongshan is guarding the inside. They are the two pillars of the court.

Zhen Guogong was injured just now, and he saved his life. The king of Zhongshan must not have any accidents!

In the Nuan Pavilion in the Hall of Qinzheng, King Zhongshan was lying on a soft couch. There were still many unfinished memorials beside his pillow. The old man had a high fever, but he was still muttering, "The people must not be without food. The Ministry of War provides disaster relief, steadfast... stick to Yongjing City."

"King of Zhongshan."

Jiang Qingyan rushed in front of him, the old man opened his eyes weakly, opened them for a while and closed them for a while, his body was weak.

King Zhongshan was already unconscious, but when he saw Jiang Qingyan's face, even if it was only a vague outline, he squeezed out a relaxed smile, "Girl, you... are here."

"Don't be afraid, with me here, you will be fine."

Jiang Qingyan held King Zhongshan's hand, laid it flat and felt his pulse.

The old man is old, and he can't stand tired. Recently, he has been supporting all the government affairs. He hardly closed his eyes, and he had no time to drink water and eat. He fell ill in the past few days.

It is caused by fatigue and weakness.

Jiang Qingyan immediately wrote the prescription and handed it to the imperial physician to prepare it. She took out the soul-stirring needle and gave him a needle to boost his energy, so that the old man's consciousness would come to him.

King Zhongshan gradually regained some consciousness, but before he fully recovered, Jiang Qingyan pinched his nose and poured a bowl of ginseng soup. He almost choked, "Ahem...ahem! Girl, slow down, I This old bone is not strong enough to withstand your tossing like this."

He had never been drugged like this in his life!
Although Jiang Qingyan acted in a hurry, she was measured, she said, "Your body is too weak, and someone has drugged you. If you don't make up a little now, you can't drink the medicine later if you hold your breath."

"I can't love you like this... cough cough!"

King Zhongshan was really choking this time, but Jiang Qingyan gave him peace of mind, and he quickly drank the ginseng soup.

Jiang Qingyan's acupuncture did not know what kind of miraculous effect it was. Within a quarter of an hour, he was already quite refreshed, as if he had woken up from a dream.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and Jiang Qingyan asked the imperial physician to bring him meals and medicine.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Qingyan stared at him, took food and medicine, and didn't give him any time to breathe.

Until he ate all the food and medicine, and even burped.

"belch--"

King Zhongshan suddenly felt that half of his life was pulled back by Jiang Qingyan, and it was the kind of force.

"Girl, this king doesn't even know what to say about you! Are you so rude when you're with Jun Qinglan?" King Zhongshan looked helplessly at Jiang Qingyan while panting.

Jiang Qingyan didn't care too much, "My lord won't think I'm rude, but you...you were drugged in your food, why didn't you notice it?"

Fortunately, she came in time, otherwise, if he took this medicine one more time, the old man would be exhausted and die.

"What? Being drugged?" King Zhongshan's old eyes widened, "This king has been busy these days and has no time to eat. He only drinks two sips of water a day, and... can he still be drugged?"

When Jiang Qingyan heard the news, she immediately asked the palace servants to investigate who served King Zhongshan to drink water.

Originally, the people in this palace did not obey her orders at all, but Eunuch Sun came, he represented Jun Yu, that is the meaning of the emperor, no one in the palace dared not to listen to Jiang Qingyan anymore.

Eunuch Sun led the people, and found out the person who gave the king of Zhongshan medicine in a short time, but the person had already died of poisoning, which was obviously expected.

Jiang Qingyan felt that something was wrong, so she asked Eunuch Sun to go back and guard Jun Yu. The people around Jun Yu must not have a new face, and most things must be done by Eunuch Sun himself.

She told Eunuch Sun, "Since the enemy army's secret operations can go deep into the palace, the emperor must still have eyeliners. Eunuch must check when he returns to ensure the safety of the emperor. At this juncture, the most important person is the emperor!"
