Chapter 149 Wonders
Wei Chi did not hide it and nodded.
“But it’s okay. The Queen Mother has invited Dr. Hua from the Divine Medical Valley to treat Your Majesty in the palace. You will recover soon.” Wei Chi spoke immediately when he saw his worried look.
Wei Ji's panicked expression calmed down a little after hearing this.
If something happens to Your Majesty at this time, the country of Li will be in real danger.
"So it's because something happened to His Majesty and the capital was in chaos that the Queen came to the Western Territory?" I should have thought of it earlier. How could the Queen, a supreme person, come to the Western Territory to suffer?
Wei Chi shook his head. "Not entirely. His Majesty arranged things very well before the incident. He invited Master Song to return to the capital to take charge of the government affairs. The one who originally came was Li Chenyan, the military minister who was trusted by His Majesty. However, on the way, Li Chenyan was poisoned by someone planted in the military camp by Prime Minister Gao. He almost died, so he had no choice but to be sent back to the capital. That's why the reinforcements from the capital were delayed for some time."
"Also, the Empress's brother was captured by the Xiliang people. The Empress was also involved in this. Another reason was that there were not many people in the court who could be temporarily dispatched to deal with this chaos. Some of them were unable to leave the capital due to special circumstances, so the Empress led the army here in person."
"When we set out, she asked me to lead the Wei army by land to divert attention. She took the waterway to Jizhou to lead the reinforcements to Cangzhou, which would be faster. She also sent someone to Yanzhou to deliver a letter, asking the Yanzhou army to rush to the border with Youzhou to wait for me. She asked me to take the Wei army and join the 150,000-man army, then give a letter to the deputy general in the army and take the Wei army to Youzhou to rescue you by taking a shortcut."
"Your Majesty is truly a man of foresight. If we were a step later, who knows what would have happened to Cangzhou and Youzhou. And no one knows what the situation is in Cangzhou now." Wei Chi told him all the arrangements that Shen Yanyan had made along the way.
The Queen Mother said that this arrangement was the best at the moment, and they were on their way as fast as possible. Everything that happened next would be up to fate.
Fortunately, destiny favored them to leave the country.
At least the city walls are still there, and the people are still there.
"The Queen is truly an extraordinary woman." Wei Ji's eyes were deep. He originally thought that the rumors coming from the capital were exaggerated, but now it seemed that the Queen was indeed a powerful person.
Wei Chi nodded. That’s right.
She was the only woman like her that he had ever seen in the world.
"Deputy General Shen Zhimo from Cangzhou?" Wei Ji looked at Wei Chi with questioning eyes, and Wei Chi nodded.
"I have heard something about this man. He has been in Cangzhou for a long time. He is a rare talent, a very strategic man, and his martial arts are also very good. Who captured him?" Wei Ji was a little surprised. There were many capable fighters in the Xiliang army, but few could capture Shen Zhimo alive.
"I don't know! I hope he is still alive. Otherwise, it will be a big deal." Wei Chi sighed.
"By the way, brother, I have good news to tell you." Wei Chi's face was full of smiles.
"On the night when Prime Minister Gao and King Wu were plotting a rebellion, he accidentally heard our plan and wanted to inform them. I killed the three of them with my own hands. From now on, mother, grandfather, and you can finally get your revenge for all the suffering you have endured for so many years!"
Wei Ji saw that he couldn't resist the smile in his eyes, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
If possible, he wanted to take responsibility for everything by himself and just be a happy prince. However, it was fate that made him do it in the end.
Wei Ji patted his shoulder, his voice rarely gentle, "He never treated you as his child. Don't be sad, and don't worry. It's good enough that you can avenge your mother and grandfather."
Wei Ji did not mention himself, because he might not even know that he had such a child who was stranded outside because of his selfishness and desires, and who could not even see his grandfather for the last time.
"After the war is over, come back to the capital to see your grandfather and mother!"
Wei Ji smiled and patted his head again, "Okay."
Shen Yanyan slept in a daze the whole night. She turned over and got up just as the sun rose. She couldn't sleep in such an environment. Even though she had arranged everything, she was still very worried about the situation outside.
Shen Yanyan opened the door and walked out, and saw that there were more people in the yard, including two more maids today.
At dinner yesterday, only the boy who opened the door was there.
When the two saw Shen Yanyan push the door open, they hurried forward and said, "Miss, you are awake. I will prepare toiletries for you."
"You are?"
"We live at the foot of the mountain. We usually just come up to clean up. Today, the master specially asked us to come up to serve the young lady."
Shen Yanyan nodded.
There are maids in this paradise. I have never seen such a thing before. Feudal ideas are implemented in every inhabited corner. As long as there are people, there are different classes.
The two maids were very fast. After washing up, Shen Yanyan walked towards the direction of the hot spring last night. She remembered that there was a road above the hot spring, and it seemed that she could go up. She had nothing to do anyway, so she might as well walk around. The scenery here was quite nice.
I can't go out now anyway.
It turns out there are two hot springs. She soaked in the lower one yesterday, and there is another hot spring pool of similar size a little further up.
"Where is the person?" Helian Fu saw that there was no one in the room.
"Sir, the girl went to the top of the mountain and said she wanted to take a walk!" The two men bowed and told the truth.
Helian Fu nodded and returned to his room.
As Shen Yanyan walked up towards the hot spring, there were no houses anymore. Instead, rocks and sparse cedars were vaguely visible. The sun did come out today, but it was still snowing, but the snow was smaller and floating sparsely.
Shen Yanyan flew up the hillside, looking at the dazzling snow light above and slightly raised her hand to block it, as if there was nothing above.
Shen Yanyan walked back and came to the bottom of the hot spring. The view was good during the day. She found that she could see the scenery below the mountain from this position.
The entire mountain is in the shape of a basin, with high mountains on all sides and low in the middle. There are snow-covered mountains all around and a valley in the middle where many families live. There is no snow in the valley, and the ground is covered with red leaves in autumn. There are many green cedars in the mountains extending in all directions. The entire valley is like a paradise.
When she came in last night, she didn't see any mountains around, she was just walking on the snowy plains. She walked until she reached the valley below the mountain, but why did she see valleys everywhere today?
Shen Yanyan was puzzled.
Also, the valley is pretty good, so why did Helian Fu build a large courtyard on the top of the mountain? Is it just because of this hot spring?
What kind of place is Fenggu this time? Why would a Beidi man like him build a house here and seem to be very familiar with this place?
Everything was so strange. Her intuition told her that this Helian Fu was definitely not just a prince of Beidi.
