Chapter 279 Xiao Chenyan is dissatisfied with Murong Wan
Shen Ruzhou couldn't help but recall what happened on the mountain, but no matter how hard she tried to think about it, there were some blurry pictures in her mind and she couldn't see clearly.
She pursed her lower lip and said, "It's not something important."
"I can't remember what it looks like. Miaodong has been wearing it since she picked it up from the mountain. Although she wanted to give it to me several times, I refused because I didn't like it."
Shen Ruzhou spoke a little perfunctorily. She couldn't remember what she had experienced on the mountain, but she didn't think it was a lucky thing. Instead, she felt that it brought her a lot of bad feelings.
Shen Ruzhou came to her senses when she remembered the sound of Shen Shi's drums outside the camp. She thought about giving acupuncture to a few more seriously ill soldiers, so she got up and left.
"Prince Regent, it's time for me to treat the soldiers. I'll go first."
Bei Xiuyan looked at the woman in front of him with a tired face and thin figure. He nodded slightly and frowned unconsciously, "I have worked hard for you during this time."
"It doesn't matter. The soldiers are almost recovered. I have also given instructions to the military doctor on how to use medicine for the isolated soldiers and people at the prefecture's Yamen. I can take a good rest next."
Shen Ruzhou spoke very relaxedly, as if he didn't care about all the hard work.After all, no matter how hard you work now, it's all for yourself, not for others.
Every step she takes now is getting closer and closer to her goal: to reconcile with Xiao Chenyan and live her own life.
Bei Xiuyan looked at Shen Ruzhou's leaving figure and unconsciously rubbed the thumb of his right hand. There was nothing on the empty thumb, but the movement of his fingers was still the same as when he turned the thumb.
Shen Ruzhou's character has always been open-minded, and he rarely evades words. This time, he seemed to be avoiding it. Besides, it was just the maid's amulet...
His eyes paused slightly, and the movements of his hands suddenly stopped.
In the evening, Beixiu Yan finished handling the affairs of the army. As soon as he walked out of the camp, Qin Ming came over to report, "Your Majesty, King Yu sent someone to deliver several carts of food. He said that he had contributed a lot to quelling the turmoil in the city. He wanted to reward the army." soldiers. And..."
"Hmph! Who cares about his food!"
Before he finished speaking, Commander He spat fiercely at several grain trucks not far away and cursed in a low voice.
"Although he found two scapegoats to cover up the matter, who doesn't know that he did it?"
"Our soldiers are not easy to fool. He thinks that giving some food and doing some small favors can restore the morale of the army? Huh! Let's have his big dream!"
Beixiu Yan ignored Commander He's curse and just glanced at Qin Ming.
Qin Ming continued: "My subordinates don't know what King Yu's plan is. However, long before King Yu sent food, King Wu Cheng's concubine came to the military camp to give porridge."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became. When King Wucheng's concubine arrived, he was still waiting outside the palace gate for Beixiu to attend the morning banquet. If he was in the military camp, he would definitely not let her in.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Bei Xiuyan's lips. King Yu and King Wucheng were really brothers, they both used the same tricks.
Sending food and porridge?What do you think of his military camp?
Bei Xiuyan turned around and returned to the camp, but he didn't know when Shen Ruzhou stood behind him.
She looked ugly, and it was obvious that she had heard what Qin Ming just said.
"Xiao Chenyan is really lucky. Every one of his women is vying to be his wife!"
Shen Ruzhou was itching with hatred. In the previous life, when Xiao Chenyan was providing disaster relief, she went to diagnose and deliver medicine to the people, while Mu Wanrong set up tents and provided porridge everywhere, and even Mu Wanqing sent news about King Yu from time to time.
Bei Xiuyan frowned slightly when he heard Shen Ruzhou's words, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his dark eyes.
"You also want to be his good wife?"
He watched Shen Ruzhou's expression change and keenly noticed that she hesitated.
"I thought before."
Or maybe it was because of her previous life that Shen Ruzhou was unwilling to lie to Beixiu Yan, and there was a hint of vicissitudes in her tone.
"It's just that after experiencing many things, I understand that Xiao Chenyan is not worthy. Now I just want to make peace with him."
Shen Ruzhou's desolate look fell completely into Bei Xiuyan's eyes, and he inexplicably wanted to take her into his arms.
But in the end he just twirled his fingertips and said, "You can come to me if you need me."
Shen Ruzhou came back to his senses and looked at him.
Bei Xiuyan's tone was solemn, "It's stupid to waste time on someone who is not worthy of it. Now that you have thought about divorce, you must learn to do it at all costs, right?"
Shen Ruzhou smiled suddenly, "Of course, I will mention it to the prince if necessary."
However, it is best not to have this day. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on men.
……
A few days ago, Mu Wanrong was released from confinement and was in a good mood. She asked her maid to prepare exquisite refreshments to send to Xiao Chenyan.
She held the tea and gently knocked on Xiao Chenyan's door. Her voice was extremely soft, "My lord, are you feeling better? Wanrong is here to see you."
Unexpectedly, the boy who was cleaning the room opened the door and came out. He bowed respectfully to her and said, "Concubine, the prince is not in the house."
"Not at the house?" Mu Wanrong poked her head and looked in. Sure enough, there was no one in the room. Her face suddenly sank, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince went to the military camp."
Mu Wanrong's expression suddenly changed. Her sister had told her before that Xiao Chenyan had gone to the military camp to pick up Shen Ruzhou. She couldn't believe it, but she didn't expect it to be true!
"There is a plague in the military camp, how can the prince get there?" She had no way to vent her anger, so she shouted at the boy, "You are really lawless, don't you know how to stop him at this time? What if the prince has something wrong with him? , I want your lives!"
The young man was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy, with tears streaming down his face, "Concubine, have mercy on me. I heard that the plague in the military camp has been brought under control, and your prince will be fine."
Is the plague under control?
Mu Wanrong's expression softened slightly, and she waved her hand to signal the servant to leave.
Now that the plague has been brought under control, should you not be infected if you go to the military camp?
She counted the time with her fingers. It was nearly half a month since Xiao Chenyan went to the military camp after her sister left that day.
Will the prince be with Shen Ruzhou every day these days?
Murong Wan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face changing again and again, no, she would never let Shen Ruzhou take the prince away from her!
She straightened her dress, made up her mind, turned to Ling'er and said, "Bring the food from the palace, let's go to the military camp."
When Mu Wanrong arrived at the military camp, it was just in time for the military camp to have dinner. She held up her dress and walked around the military camp grounds before she found Xiao Chenyan who was eating with the soldiers.
There are many soldiers in the army, and they don't pay much attention to their diet. They just pour the vegetables into a big pot and stew them, and then add two steamed buns to make a meal.
In order to get closer to the soldiers, Xiao Chenyan sat around with everyone these days and ate the same dishes.
In Mu Wanrong's eyes, this meal was really vulgar, just like pig food!
Not to mention Xiao Chenyan, even the servants of the palace eat better than this.
With worry on her face, Mu Wanrong walked to Xiao Chenyan's side and said, "Wanrong has met the prince."
She bowed Yingying, "Wanrong heard that the prince came to the military camp to treat the plague, so she came over to take a look if she was worried."
"Your Majesty is a noble man, but he came to the army to rescue and treat the sick soldiers regardless of his own safety. He also put aside his identity to eat and live with the soldiers. It is really admirable."
Mu Wanrong's eyes were red. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes. She said with distress: "The prince has not been able to eat well and sleep well in the military camp these days. He has lost weight. Wanrong saw the prince suffering and felt in her heart. I really can’t bear it.”
The soldiers who ate together saw Xiao Chenyan's concubine bursting into tears. They thought that once King Wucheng's food must have been extremely expensive, but now he ate and lived with them.
"Your Majesty should be able to enjoy endless delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he is chewing coarse food here with us. I really feel wronged by Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is so benevolent and righteous!"
"..."
The soldiers praised him so much that Xiao Chenyan smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was very dissatisfied with Murong Wan's actions.
