I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 229 Locking the Racecourse
"Your Majesty is being polite." Qu Lingxu was not interested in rewards at all, and only looked sideways at Baili Haochen, the purpose was self-evident.

The disease has been cured, can she go back to rest?
No matter how many secrets Qu Lingxu has in her body, it is an indisputable fact that she easily solved all the illnesses that the imperial doctors were helpless and saved the life of her mother. Thinking about uncertain emotions has become more complicated, but now is obviously not the time to think about these, so I told Duoyang: "Take the princess to the Palace of Heaven to rest, the princess must not be used to the diet of Mobei, let the dining room Make some pasta and vegetables and send them over." Baili Haochen thought for a while, and then added: "There are not many rice noodles in the palace, from today onwards, no one is allowed to use them except father, queen and queen."

Northern calendar has a bad climate, which is not suitable for the growth of crops. Most of them eat meat as the staple food. Although cattle and sheep can be exchanged for food in the border market, the price is extremely high. Even in the palace, there is not much rice noodles. Baili Haochen's ability to issue such an order shows the importance he attaches to Qu Lingxu.

However, what shocked Duo Yang even more was the residence that Baili Haochen arranged for Qu Lingxu. The Cangqiong Palace is the closest palace to the East Palace in the imperial palace. Sun's residence, the furnishings in the hall are not inferior to the East Palace, because Baili Haochen is not married, so this hall has never been lived in since it was built, unexpectedly Qu Lingxu became No.1!
The weight of this is self-evident!

Seeing Duoyang petrified in place due to too much shock, Baili Haochen raised his eyebrows displeased, "Isn't what I said clear enough?"

"Clear and clear." Baili Haochen's cold words made Duoyang wake up like a dream, and looked at Qu Lingxu with a little more respect, "Princess, please."

Qu Lingxu didn't know that there were so many meanings behind the Cangqiong Palace, so naturally he didn't think much about it, and only followed Duoyang out of Zhaoren Palace with his charm.

Take a bath, sleep, nothing is more important than these two things these days.

Arriving at the Sky Palace, Qu Lingxu immediately ordered the maid to boil water and take a bath. She never likes people who don't know the details to serve by her side, so she refused to let the palace servants serve and bathe. She just leisurely soaked in the big wooden barrel in the bedroom, thinking with future plans.

If you want to fight, the most important elements are nothing more than soldiers and food, but for Northern Li, the situation is slightly different. Most of their people live on nomads, and they are excellent at riding and shooting. Most of the army is composed of cavalry. This has become the most critical point, so she must first figure out the location of the racecourse, and use the number of horses to consider the next countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Qu Lingxu could not help but support his forehead slightly. Since ancient times, although the imperial court army in the Central Plains had a special cavalry battalion, they were still mostly infantry. To use infantry to fight against the sturdy cavalry is no different from a mantis arm as a cart, so even if you can rely on Winning with superior numbers and advanced tactics will eventually pay a heavy price in bloodshed.

How can we reverse this natural disadvantage?
What Qu Lingxu was thinking about was exactly the problem that countless ancestors had been thinking about for many years but still couldn't solve it. It is not that no one has proposed to breed a large number of horses and use cavalry to fight against cavalry. At the beginning, there was a fierce battle with Beili. Since then, the northwest horse production area has been lost, and it has not been recovered until now. The northeast horse production area can cultivate a batch of war horses every year, but the number is too limited to meet the expansion. Cavalry Battalion Requirements.

As for why the Central Plains didn't raise horses?Just kidding, the amount of food eaten by horses is very large. The Central Plains does not have the vast grasslands in the Northwest region for horses to eat. The toilet is gone.

Therefore, there is only one way to temporarily delay the pace of this great war...to make a large number of horses sick and lose their combat effectiveness.

Prescribing some medicine is nothing to Qu Lingxu. Although this method seems to be a bit wicked, but at this time when the fire is imminent, I don't care so much. It's just a few days of illness, and I don't really want it. killed the horses.

Just take it as a lesson for Baili Haochen to rob himself to Beili by using dirty tricks!

Having made up his mind, Qu Lingxu didn't delay too much, just quickly got out of the bathtub, and after dressing properly, he said calmly, "Lingxiao Lingyun."

As early as many days ago, Ling Xiao Lingyun got in touch with Qu Lingxu, just to prevent the hidden guards around Baili Haochen from being aware of it, and let them follow them from a distance, but she always left traces on the way, counting Shi Chen, the two of them should have followed to the Sky Palace by now.

Just as Qu Lingxu expected, as soon as she finished speaking, two familiar black figures walked over, knelt down and saluted, "Master."

"How many times have I told you that I don't like to see other people kneeling at every turn." After Ling Xiao Lingyun got up, Qu Lingxu poured two glasses of mare's milk and handed them over. After watching the two finish drinking, he felt a little pity He said: "It's almost midwinter now, and the weather in Northern Li is extremely cold. It's really hard for you to follow me here like this."

Qu Lingxu has always taken good care of those close to him, and the care and rewards given to Ling Xiao and Ling Yun have never been under Yun Yiyun's heart. For this, Ling Xiao and the two of them naturally remembered it in their hearts. Now that they hear such words of concern, they can't help but Feeling even more grateful, he hastily cupped his hands and said, "Protecting the master is the duty of the subordinates and others. How hard it is to talk about hard work, the master said so, it really hurts the subordinates."

Qu Lingxu's purpose for coming to Beili by herself was roughly clear to Ling Xiao and Lingyun. Among other things, the courage and foresight of a weak woman was enough to make them follow them wholeheartedly.

Seeing that the two of Ling Xiao were uneasy, Qu Lingxu stopped talking about this topic, but ordered: "Queen Beili's body still needs to be recuperated, and I won't have any problems in this palace for a while. It's dangerous, just leave Lingyun here alone, Ling Xiao, go out of the palace and find out where Beili's horse farm is, and then report the situation there to me in detail."

The reason why he chose to send Ling Xiao there was because Ling Xiao's temper was much more cautious and meticulous than Ling Yun's, so that he would not miss anything.

"Your subordinate obeys." With such a promise, Ling Xiao added again: "Reporting to the master, the prince is worried about your safety, and specially selected an elite dark guard from Yebu to protect you. It has arrived a few days ago. In addition , He has already done what you asked him to do."

Earlier Qu Lingxu promised to rescue Qu Fengyan from Jifang, but the plan was not as fast as changing. She was hijacked by Baili Haochen, so naturally she couldn't fulfill her promise, so she had to let Ling Xiao send a letter to Leng Yuanxun. Yuan Xun felt that Qu Fengyan deserved what he had been reduced to, and did not deserve sympathy at all, but he still fished him out according to Qu Lingxu's order, and temporarily placed him in a small courtyard in the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion.

Leng Yuanxun naturally didn't want to see Qu Fengyan, but Qu Fengyan's thoughts were completely opposite to his. As early as nine years old, when she saw Leng Yuanxun for the first time at a palace banquet, she was very impressed with the face in front of her. Guanyu's ruthless son fell in love at first sight, but at that time it was already known that Princess Qingyu loved Leng Yuanxun, even if Qu Fengyan had a hundred guts, he did not dare to compete with her. Because of her mother's ambition to be in the world, she chose Murong Li as the second best thing.

But now Murong Li is still fighting to the death on the front battlefield, whether he can come back alive is still unknown, but Leng Yuanxun has gained the emperor's trust because of his rescue, and even intends to let him become the seventh prince's husband, as long as he becomes Leng Yuanxun's A woman, not only can she completely get rid of her status as a slave, but she also has the capital to avenge Qu Lingxu!

Yes, for Qu Lingxu's help, instead of being grateful at all, she became even more resentful because of jealousy. Therefore, for some people who have lost their conscience, what we can do is to completely eradicate them, otherwise once they have a chance to breathe, It will counterattack double like a mad dog, bringing endless troubles.

Like now.

"Master Leng doesn't want to see me?" Qu Fengyan looked at Qingyang pitifully with tears in his eyes, "The girl didn't mean to disturb the son on purpose, it's just... It's just that the son saved his life, and there is really no way to repay him, so I just made these snacks with my own hands, and I would like to ask Master Qingyang to let me know."

Qing Yang has been by Leng Yuanxun's side all year round, so he naturally knows what kind of person Qu Fengyan is. Seeing the other party's affectation now, he just feels goosebumps all over his body, and frowned impatiently: "Your Majesty is too busy with business. , Second Miss, please go back."

He was puzzled, obviously they are blood sisters with the princess, why the princess is so dignified and generous, but this second lady is full of dust?This gap is really not that big.

Hearing Qing Yang's unceremonious words, Qu Fengyan only felt angry for a while, and subconsciously wanted to reprimand and scold him, but after all, considering his status, he had to endure it, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I'll Come back sometime."

Now that she is living in this other courtyard, can Leng Yuanxun hide from her for the rest of his life?

Seeing that Qu Fengyan finally left, Qingyang sighed with relief, turned around and went into the study.

"Sent away?" Leng Yuanxun asked without raising his head as he wrote something on the map spread out in the study with a thin pen in his hand.

Since Qu Lingxu left, he hasn't had a good night's sleep. He only hopes to arrange the follow-up matters soon, and then pick up Qu Lingxu himself.

Every time he thought of this, a strong feeling of regret spread endlessly in Leng Yuanxun's heart. He shouldn't have allowed Qu Lingxu to go to Beili, even if it would get twice the result with half the effort.

He will never, never let her take risks again. There will never be a next time in this life...
