Chapter 373: Go to the border

After listening to Bei Liangye's words, the emperor did not speak for a moment and looked a little embarrassed.

Beiliang Ye hurriedly said: "Father, the border crisis is urgent. Please allow me to go into battle to kill the enemy."

The emperor sighed and finally nodded: "Okay, that's it, I'll send you there."

Bei Liangye was very happy and kowtowed quickly to thank him: "Yes, I will definitely fulfill my mission."

The emperor was in a complicated mood and wanted to explain something, but in the end he said nothing and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

The old eunuch on the side brought tea over. Seeing that the emperor seemed unhappy, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, actually His Highness the Crown Prince... doesn't have to go."

The emperor took a sip of tea and put down the cup with a solemn expression: "There is no one in the court recently, so Ye'er is a good candidate."

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, the eunuch followed him and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness is both wise and brave."

"Nowadays, people at the border are in disarray, the enemy has repeatedly invaded, and there are a lot of internal and external troubles. We really need someone who can speak well to suppress them. Besides, I also want to use this opportunity to try his talents."

The eunuch understood: "Your Majesty is wise."

Beiliangye is the prince and will inherit the throne in the future. It is just in time to take advantage of this border chaos to establish prestige.

However...if Beiliangye cannot handle border affairs, I'm afraid the emperor will have other ideas.

On the other side, Ruan Wanwan was playing with her children when a loud announcement suddenly sounded outside the door.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Soon, several eunuchs entered the main hall, the leader holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand.

Ruan Wanwan hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Prince Bei Liangye should be granted the title of General of Hussars. He will set out in three days to go to the border to quell the chaos. I admire this."

"What?!"

Ruan Wanwan was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.

Beiliangye was going to the border gate? Why didn't she know?

She stood up in confusion and took the imperial edict. When she came to her senses, the eunuch had already left.

Just at this time, Bei Liangye came back. As soon as he entered the house, Ruan Wanwan grabbed him.

"Well done, why did the emperor send you to the border?"

Knowing that she was worried, Beiliangye didn't dare to look at her.

"I went to ask my father, and he agreed."

Ruan Wanwan was even more confused: "Today's border is so chaotic and bitterly cold all year round. There are many candidates in the court. Why do you take the initiative to ask for help?"

Bei Liangye held her shoulders and the two of them sat down together: "Wanwan, there is no one more suitable than me in the court, not to mention that I am the prince. At this time, it is even more important..."

"That's not OK."

Ruan Wanwan frowned and interrupted him: "It's not too late now. We will enter the palace immediately and ask the emperor to take back his order."

With that said, Ruan Wanwan was about to order his servants to come in and change clothes.

"Wanwan," Bei Liangye pulled her back: "The imperial edict has been issued, you have no words to say."

Ruan Wanwan looked at the bright yellow scroll on the table, and then at Bei Liangye who was smiling at her, feeling angry and worried.

Bei Liangye held her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely put down the rebellion and come back safely."

Ruan Wanwan's mood was not getting better. The sword had no eyes and the border environment was like that. She had to worry.

It was late at night, and the whole Prince's Mansion was quiet. Ruan Wanwan opened his eyes and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

After a long time, as if she had made up her mind, she got out of bed, sat in front of the dressing table, took out a piece of yellow paper from the dowry box, and spread it on the table.

Ruan Wanwan recited the incantation softly in his mouth, and at the same time, he placed two fingers of his right hand on his chest at the heart, took out a special needle, and pierced his chest quickly and accurately.

Soon, the needle tube was filled with dark red liquid. Ruan Wanwan continued to recite the incantation. The needle tube seemed to come alive, with the tip pointed downwards, swimming on the yellow paper.

Originally, the yellow paper was clean and empty of anything. After a while, there were some incomprehensible symbols and words.

The blood in the needle tube became less and less, and Ruan Wanwan's complexion became worse and worse.

After finishing the talisman drawing, Ruan Wanwan felt like he was exhausted, his face was pale, his chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily, and there were big beads of sweat on his face.

Fortunately, the peace talisman had been drawn. Ruan Wanwan looked relieved and lay down on the table to rest for a while. Then she picked up the talisman and folded it, put it in a purse, put on some clothes and went to the next door.

Not long after she gave birth to her baby, she and Bei Liangye slept in separate rooms.

The light was still on next door. When he opened the door and walked in, Bei Liangye was sitting at the table, reading a book with concentration.

"Wanwan, it's so late, you still haven't slept?"

Ruan Wanwan shook her head, walked over and sat next to him, and tied her purse around his waist.

"This is the amulet I asked for in the temple. You must carry it close to you and never take it off at any time."

Bei Liangye didn't believe these nonsense, but since it was given by Ruan Wanwan, he would definitely keep it.

"Okay, I listen to you."

Under the candlelight, her face looked a little pale. Bei Liangye touched her hair: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why do you look so bad?"

Ruan Wanwan shook his head hurriedly: "It's nothing. Maybe I was too tired during the day, so I'll be fine after taking a rest."

Since she gave birth, her complexion has not been good. The imperial doctor said it was nothing serious, and Beiliangye didn't think much about it.

Three days passed quickly, Bei Liangye set off for the border pass, and the house suddenly became deserted.

The empress came to visit from time to time. Knowing that Ruan Wanwan had a hard time raising the child alone, she specially took her and the child into the palace to stay for a few days. Ruan Wanwan agreed without much thought.

Unexpectedly, less than three days after entering the palace, the queen's suspicion aroused.

On this day, the queen invited the four kings and the sixth king and his wife to come into the palace to talk. As soon as they sat down, the queen spoke.

"Why do you look so bad?"

She looked at Ruan Wanwan and shook her head worriedly: "Even if you just gave birth to a baby, it shouldn't be like this..."

Ruan Wanwan looked panicked and quickly looked away: "It's nothing. Maybe it's because I'm weak and hasn't fully recovered after giving birth to a child. She'll be fine after taking good care of herself."

The queen frowned, and suddenly thought of something, and said in shock: "Isn't it because of some confinement disease?"

Then he quickly ordered his servants: "Go and ask the imperial doctor to come over and take the pulse of the princess."

Ruan Wanwan said quickly: "No need, Queen, I am really fine."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and jumped around on the spot: "Look, I'm very well, so I don't need to bother the imperial doctor to run over."

The queen looked at her doubtfully: "Really?"

Ruan Wanwan had a confident expression on her face: "Really, I don't dare to deceive the queen, and the imperial doctor asks for Ping An's pulse every day. If there is really a problem, the imperial doctor must have told her already."

The queen finally felt relieved and told her maid: "Cook a sumptuous meal in the small kitchen in the evening to replenish the princess' health."

"yes."
