Chapter 269 Returning to Beijing
In fact, the second prescription just suppresses the disease in the human body.
Once the person who takes the second prescription comes into contact with someone who has the disease again, an outbreak will occur immediately.
Even if that person looks back, he will not be better after taking the first prescription.
The original plot in the book: Shangguan Yu "accidentally" leaked the second recipe to Shangguan Siyi, who used it to treat the victims. The results can be imagined.
In the end, the emperor was furious, and Shangguan Siyi was demoted to a commoner, never having that position again.
If it were before, she would have given the first prescription directly to Shangguan Siyi.
Now?
She just wanted to leave the second recipe to Shangguan Siyi.
Let Shangguan Siyi’s fate follow the original plot in the book!
As for her own future... she will first avenge the old lady.
The weather is starting to get colder.
Rich families who have prepared winter supplies rarely go out.
People who don't have money are even more reluctant to go out. If they don't have big thick clothes, it's better to stay at home to stay warm.
As winter enters the streets of the capital, there are obviously fewer pedestrians than when the weather is hot.
There is also a kind of people, the very poor ones, who have to brave the cold winter to pick up some firewood and sell it in exchange for some food to eat at home.
So when winter comes, the people who can go to hot pot restaurants to eat hot pot are basically rich and powerful families.
But this winter is different.
The capital became more lively than before due to an incident.
That is: General Zhenguo, who has been guarding the Mobei border all year round, will return to Beijing soon.
I heard that his long-lost daughter was also back together.
Su Qiumei naturally heard about this.
On the days when the old lady died, Su Tiecheng said that she was not in the general's mansion, which turned out to be true.
Shangguan Siyi, who also heard about this, frowned.
When did Li Ling go to Mobei? Is it any wonder that there is no trace of her these days?
How did she slip away under the noses of his secret guards?
There are already quite a few secret guards around her?
It's not easy to silence her. It will be even harder if Li Xuchuan comes back again?
Time passed in a blink of an eye.
Li Ling and the others rode their horses and arrived at the gate of the capital.
We don’t like to be watched by others, so we went into the city at night.
Because there were torches on the wall, they could still see clearly the appearance of the city gate.
Looking at the city gate, which was still as tall and majestic as before, Li Xuchuan was filled with emotion:
The city gate is still the original city gate, but Li Xuchuan is no longer the same Li Xuchuan.
He glanced at Li Ling beside him, but he didn't expect that when he returned after seven years after leaving the capital for the Mobei border, he would already have a daughter by his side.
If...if Wan Ning was still here, that would be even better.
The soldier guarding the door was dozing off against the wall.
Hearing the sound of neat footsteps and horse hooves, I was so frightened that I immediately woke up.
I saw a dark group of men and horses outside the city gate, all wearing armor. It was obvious at first glance that they were well-trained, and they were not on the same level as the soldiers guarding the gate.
I was frightened to see the flag of the team clearly, and realized that it was my country's army, and then I felt relieved.
He hurriedly called his companions and lowered the hanging basket.
At this time, a general placed Li Xuchuan's waistband on the basket, and the soldier guarding the gate lifted the basket.
After several people repeatedly confirmed that they were the general's team, they dared to go down and open the city gate to let these people enter the city.
At the same time, at the city gate, people were already rushing to report to their superiors.
After finally waiting for the team to go away, the young soldier who had just been guarding the door finally exhaled and covered his chest with his hand:
"Mom! I was so scared just now. I thought bad guys were coming to attack our capital while I was napping."
"Are you brainless?"
As soon as the young soldier finished saying this, he was immediately patted on the head by another older soldier:
"We have troops guarding the borders on all sides of the Ling Kingdom. Who can attack the capital directly and silently? Are you still dreaming?"
"Is that person in front of me really our famous General Li?"
The young soldier who was patted on the head was not annoyed. His eyes were bright when he thought that the person he just saw was the famous Li Xuchuan.
"Didn't you see the waistband just now? These days, no one would dare to impersonate him, right?"
"Haha, that's right." The young soldier scratched his head and smiled a little sheepishly.
However, the admiration in his eyes did not fade at all: "It would be great if I could be as majestic as him in the future."
"Ha! Then you have to do it first and don't doze off while guarding the gate!" The older soldier rolled his eyes at him.
Soon, the emperor, who was still reviewing the memorial in the palace, also received the news that Li Xuchuan and the others had entered the city.
He raised his head and looked out the window at the dark sky. Forget it, it was too late to recruit more people into the palace.
"Why did you choose to go to the city at night?"
The emperor muttered to himself unconsciously, and was overheard by his father-in-law who was helping him polish ink next to him.
Every time the emperor reviewed the memorials, the father-in-law next to him had to learn to control his eyes and not look at the memorials.
Therefore, I could only concentrate on polishing the emperor's ink. I didn't look at the emperor's expression just now, thinking that the emperor was asking him.
I'm not sure about the emperor for a moment, what does this question mean?
Could it be that General Zhenguo and the others deliberately entered the city at night, thinking that at night they would not have to come to see the emperor first?
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he wanted to act like he was answering immediately without even thinking about it.
Only in this way can the emperor feel that what he said is sincere.
"Based on my opinion, with General Li's temperament, he probably doesn't want the people to watch, right?
I heard that the people in the capital have been buzzing with news these days, and they all want to see it with their own eyes. What does our general look like?
It's a pity that those people waited for several days in a row, but they didn't see the shadow of General Zhenguo. "
Hearing what his father-in-law said, the emperor also remembered the times when the old general brought Li Xuchuan to the palace to play.
That boy looked very shy whether he saw the Queen Mother or him in the palace.
At that time, he was still thinking, could such a shy child grow up to go to the battlefield and fight the enemy?
Fortunately, judging from his performance over the years, it seems like he is worrying too much?
"It's just that I didn't know they were back. Now that I know they are back, I can't ask what I want to know. I'm afraid I won't sleep well tonight?"
After finally finishing approving the last memorial, the emperor put his pen aside and leaned back on his chair.
"How about I ask someone to invite the old general and the general of the country into the palace, wait for the emperor to finish asking questions, and then let them go back to rest?"
The father-in-law knew that this was impossible, but he still pretended to ask.
