In the East Palace.
The prince listened to the alum's report, his brows darkened as if a storm was about to come.
More than three hundred people...
Not counting the bones on the mass graves, not counting the dead soldiers who died in training and missions for so many years, just a small farm has already lost all conscience!
The prince seemed to have already guessed who was behind the scenes!
"Alum, pass on the order and fully cooperate with the Qiao family's eldest son. All his decisions will be regarded as my orders. This matter must be suppressed first no matter what!"
With Dalang's intelligence, he must have known that this matter would not be exposed yet, so wait...
He and the third brother have also made preparations. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the second brother to return to the court!
————
Qiao Tianjing came back early the next morning just like last time.
He took a quick wash before rushing to court.
Hanya Xian didn't sleep peacefully that night. As soon as Qiao Tianjing came back, she woke up even though his movements were very gentle.
Qiao Tianjing, who was tired from work and looked tired, went to the couch to comfort Hanya Xian without asking her to get up to help. He quickly changed his clothes and went out.
Hanya Xian felt extremely distressed and sighed softly in her heart, wishing that she could share more with him.
Although there was a turmoil in Huguo Temple last night, under Qiao Tianjing's thunderous methods, everything was still calm in Beijing today.
If anything was unusual, it was that a noble lady from the capital went to the Huguo Temple to offer incense, but was turned away.
The young novice monk in the temple said politely: "There are important things happening in the temple recently and we will not receive pilgrims for the time being."
The noble lady also knew what was going on. After all, this Huguo Temple bears the name of the royal family. It must have been ordered by the palace, so it is very normal for it to be closed.
This incident did not cause any disturbance in Beijing.
—————
Two days later, the letter from Beijing also arrived in the hands of Qiao Zhongguo.
Ever since the second prince was seriously injured in the battle at Papi Ridge, the marriage convoy stopped where it was.
The military doctor knew the second prince's distinguished status and worked diligently every day to treat his illness.
But the conditions here are simple, and the second prince suffered a penetrating injury. Although he had rushed to buy good medicine, the wound still healed very slowly.
These days, the person who is enjoying the most comfortable life in the team is none other than Meng Guxue.
She has completely relieved her burden. Although her future in Nanli Country is still unclear, for her, carpe diem is the true principle!
This time, the bandits on Papi Ridge were wiped out under the encirclement and suppression by General Guo and Baili Chengyou's troops.
Meng Guxue made a fuss and finally learned to ride a horse.
She would ride off with Xiao Tao every day at dawn, watching the mountains and scenery under the guard of the soldiers. She would return home after being exhausted, and her whole face would be radiant.
Baili Chengyou was very depressed.
He was looking forward to exchanging information with Meng Guxue, but she took a detour when she saw him.
Over the course of a few days, it developed into a condition where he shut up when asked, squinted when greeted, and cried whenever he touched her...
Baili Chengyou:? ? ?
What he wanted was help, but he turned into an ancestor?
She was not like this in the dream. When she was around Shen Yuanbai, she was well-behaved and sensible, often had strange tricks, and she was also the God of Wealth!
Baili Chengyou later understood that Meng Guxue was relying on Qiao Zhongguo's presence!
Qiao Zhongguo didn't know what was going on, especially taking care of her. The two of them occasionally sat together and chatted together!
So Baili Chengyou began to look forward to Emperor Yong's decree.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qiao Zhongguo should be asked to escort Shen Yuanbai back to Beijing as soon as possible.
In the tent here, Qiao Zhongguo is opening the letters from home that Qiao Tianjing rushed to deliver.
Qiao Diyi grabbed his father's shoulder and clamored to watch it together.
"Get out of here, don't start yelling again, I'll give it to you after I see it!"
Qiao Zhongguo is now out with the marriage convoy, and he looks more and more like he did when he was marching in the past, speaking like an old man.
At first, Mrs. Qiao thought he was too vulgar, so she managed to get him to change a bit, but now it's better, they all went back!
Qiao Diyi learned everything from one to one. If Xiao Hongda saw him, he would definitely shout that he had a headache!
He followed the path of a Confucian general, but ended up leading a reckless man? How unpleasant it would be to hear this spread!
"Okay, okay, the elder one looks down on the younger one, right?"
Qiao Di stepped aside proudly, muttering incessantly.
Qiao Zhongguo glanced at him, angry and amused at the same time.
Could it be that he was so attractive back then?
Qiao Zhongguo had no time to pay attention to him. He opened the letter in a few seconds and his expression changed several times.
In the letter, Qiao Tianjing mentioned the results of the paternity test in a very cryptic manner. Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows and had mixed feelings in his heart.
However, when he saw that Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao had reached a consensus and handled the matter in a reasonable and smooth manner, he felt very relieved.
Even if he was in Jingzhong, he would not be able to do this better than these two children.
When he saw Qiao Jiaojiao's suggestion that he try his best to instigate Dr. Zou against him, Qiao Zhongguo immediately showed a thoughtful expression.
Qiao Tianjing was very careful in his work. He specially attached a related investigation of Imperial Physician Zou to the letter, including his background, personality, conduct, etc. Qiao Zhongguo nodded repeatedly.
"Ah, the boss is really..."
"Dad, what's wrong, brother? How is the situation in Beijing?"
Qiao Diyi immediately rushed forward again, his starry eyes flickering.
Qiao Diyi: (⁎⚈ᴗ⚈⁎)
Qiao Zhongguo raised his head and looked into his second son's clear, big eyes.
Qiao Zhongguo: "..."
Well, we can’t expect the ancestral graves to keep emitting smoke...
Fortunately, the second child also grew up very quickly, but he just lacked training, well, that's right.
"Consciously cover your mouth and take a look."
Qiao Diyi couldn't wait to take the letter and read it carefully word by word. His face was filled with shock at the end!
Oh my gosh, this, this, this... this is so unexpected!
And... inciting rebellion against Imperial Physician Zou?
Hehe, this is fun!
"Dad, what are you going to do?"
After Qiao Zhongguo thought for a moment, he suddenly showed a bad smile.
"Hehe, naturally it's Imperial Physician Xu Zou who has made a fortune..."
Qiao Diyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
————
Three days later, Dr. Zou, escorted by his guards, arrived at full speed. Along the way, his old bones were almost falling apart!
Also accompanying him was Emperor Yong's decree, which was to the effect that Qiao Zhongguo should escort the second prince back to the capital as soon as possible. As for the crime of dereliction of duty, we would discuss it after returning to the capital.
The marriage convoy was continued to be escorted by Deputy General Wang who had just arrived.
Doctor Zou dismounted and hurried into the second prince's tent without even having time to take a sip of water. Seeing the still hideous wound, he also took a breath of air.
Mother, this errand is going to be difficult to handle. It’s a tiring journey all the way back to the capital, and he can’t guarantee that the second prince will be fine!
Poor Dr. Zou didn't know it yet, but at the same time, two reckless men were staring at him with eager eyes. They had already opened the net and were waiting for him to jump in!
