Escaped Medical Concubine - C270

In June of the year 346 of the Yunmeng calendar, the Duke of Fengyuan, the Crown Prince, and the Imperial Protector, General Shang Qiuyuan, returned from Fengyuan with two hundred thousand soldiers.

Of course, at this moment, Fengyuan no longer existed. Fengyuan had been divided up by the four countries, and more than half of the territory had been assigned to the Nanke.

Under the imperial edict, Shang Qiuyuan was ordered to return to Zu Long as soon as possible, and the number of troops he could bring should not exceed five thousand.

“Young Master must not follow the imperial edict. The so-called ‘The Emperor will not accept any orders’. This imperial edict will only bring five thousand men back to the capital. I’m afraid there’s something deceptive about it.”

Zuo Si’s face was still pale, and she coughed softly to remind Shang Qiuyuan.

Ever since the imperial edict had announced to the world that his concubine, who had been waiting for nine days to be given birth to a child, would be bestowed the title of heir to the throne, Shang Qiuyuan had made everyone stop calling him Young Prince.

At this moment, whether it was the original division of the palace’s Nine Heavens, or the Southern Champion, or all the other soldiers of Fengyuan, they all felt great admiration for Shang Qiuyuan. To be able to be asked to bury the nine days of the palace with the etiquette of a king, and to ask the heir to the nine days to inherit the throne, no one was unmoved by Shang Qiuyuan’s selflessness and benevolence.

The return of two hundred thousand soldiers from Fengyuan had also intimidated those who were ready to make a move. They did not dare to act rashly again.

“Military Advisor Zuo is right. Marshal, you must not bring only five thousand men back. This is a good example.”

Shang Qiuyuan smiled faintly, “It’s alright. Ji Fenghua, bring 3000 men and follow me back to the imperial court.”

Ji Fenghua was shocked, “Young master, please don’t…”

Shang Qiuyuan raised his hand to stop everyone’s obstructions, “Relax, I will be fine. If I bring too many people, I will give an excuse to some people who have ulterior motives. Golden Armor, bring fifty thousand men and follow behind us.

As orders were passed down one by one, the two hundred thousand men did not return to their ancestors. Instead, most of them remained at the borders of the original Southern Champion and Fengyuan, as well as supervising and deterring them.

Shang Qiuyuan led three thousand men and set off for the Ancestral Dragon at full speed.

“Reporting to the Empress, the Fengyuan Duke brought over three thousand men, and they will arrive at Zu Long tomorrow.”

Ji Tian Ning’s eyes lit up. He’s finally back?

The hearts of the crowd trembled. Shang Qiuyuan actually dared to bring only three thousand men with him to return to the Ancestral Dragon Tribe, this was beyond their expectations.

“Pass the decree that all officials and officials are to leave the city tomorrow, and I will personally go out to receive them.”

“Understood.”

The next day, Ji Tianning personally led a hundred officials out of the city to welcome the triumphant return of Shang Qiuyuan.

Yan Zhen silently stood beside Ji Tian Ning with a complicated look in his eyes. He had never expected that Shang Qiu would really return, and with only 3,000 men. Was this an indication of his loyalty to the Southern Champion, or was he too confident?

“Yan Zhen, you’ve lost.”

Ji Tian Ning chuckled. Her mood was extremely good. When she thought of how she was going to see that sage once again, her heart was filled with anticipation.

In the distance, a cloud of dust billowed. Shang Qiuyuan had received his report, so the Empress personally led a hundred officials to welcome him back from ten li away from the Ancestral Dragon.

His gaze turned towards the distant Zu Long City, “Ning’er, I’m back!”

He took the lead and sped away from the group of people behind him, leaving only a few hundred personal guards behind.

A white figure appeared in the distance. Ji Tian Ning’s heart almost stopped beating. That familiar figure had already entered his dreams many times over.

Shang Qiuyuan dismounted from his horse, his deep gaze faintly tinged with excitement. That bright yellow figure had a bulging belly, and a pair of charming eyes were staring at him.

He strode forward quickly. “This subject, Shang Qiuyuan, pays his respects to the empress.”

In front of the officials, he still had to act according to the rules and etiquette, so as to not let the officials criticize him.

Without waiting for Shang Qiuyuan to kneel, Ji Tian Ning had already extended her hand to support his arm. She secretly grabbed onto his arm, “Master Fengyuan, there’s no need to be so courteous.

This was the Sovereign King’s greatest honor to his subject. Shang Qiuyuan hurriedly bowed, “This humble subject thanks Empress, how could I dare to trouble Empress to personally welcome me? This subject is terrified.”

Ji Tian Ning chuckled lightly. “Why do you have to be so courteous, my dear sir? I’ve come a long way. Please enter the city to rest.”

The crowd of officials came up to pay their respects one after another, congratulating Shang Qiuyuan. Ji Tian Ning ordered Shang Qiuyuan to accompany her as they followed the imperial carriage into the Ancestral Dragon City.

In the throne room, Shang Qiuyuan knelt down once again to pay his respects. Ji Tian Ning said unhappily, “I’ve already said that you can enter the imperial court in the future and not pay your respects.

Shang Qiuyuan stood up, “Thank you, esteemed Empress. This humble official does not dare to bestow such a generous gift.”

Ji Tian Ning smiled, “It’s good that brother is back. There are many matters to attend to in the imperial court. Thank you, brother, for your hard work.”

“This subject does not dare, but must do his best to help the Empress share her worries.”

“Now that Master Fengyuan has returned victoriously and the world is at peace, it is a great joy. In the future, we will bury the king and rebuild the kingdom. ”

“The Empress is wise.”

The crowd of officials congratulated him in unison. Shang Qiuyuan’s return made the officials revere him, and when they saw Shang Qiuyuan openly declare his allegiance to the Empress, the officials could only continue to watch on, waiting to see what this Feng Yuan Duke, whose authority was not inferior to their former king, would do.

“Withdraw to the imperial court. There will be a banquet tonight at the imperial harem to help wash away the dust of Master Fengyuan. Everyone must attend.”

Ji Tian Ning turned and left. The officials knelt down to send her off, while Shang Qiuyuan bowed to her without kneeling down.

“Congratulations, young master. Congratulations, young master.”

The crowd of officials came over one after another to congratulate Shang Qiuyuan. They did not dare to offend him, who was holding a heavy army.

“Young master, this lowly one is the Right Prime Minister He Yuchuan. Greetings, young master.”

Although He Yushuan was the Right Prime Minister, the military generals of the five countries were above the civil officials. Shang Qiuyuan was a first-rate Fengyuan Duke, a great general, a title and an official position were all above He Yushuan.

“So it’s the Right Prime Minister. I’ve heard of the Right Prime Minister’s name for a long time. Thank you for your hard work, Right Prime Minister.”

“I dare not, allow me to introduce all of you to Young Master.”

He Yichuan introduced the ministers in the imperial court to Shang Qiuyuan. The crowd went up to meet them and exchanged a few words.

“Master Fengyuan, the Empress invites you to go and discuss the matter of the kingdom.”

He entered the harem and looked up at the three big words’ Tianxing Palace ‘. He couldn’t help but sigh. Once again entering the harem, he and she were no longer as close as they were before each other.

Stepping into the room, just as he entered, he was hugged tightly by a pair of arms, and his delicate body snuggled into her bosom. Extending his arms, he gently embraced Ji Tian Ning. “Ning’er, it’s been hard on you. How did you do it?”

“Qiu Yuan, you’re finally back. I miss you so much.”

“How is the Emperor now?”

“His injuries are severe, he is currently recuperating.”

Shang Qiuyuan softly pressed against Ji Tian Ning’s bulging abdomen. “Ning’er, what are you planning to do next?”

“How would I know? Now that you’ve returned, I won’t waste any more time. Just tell me what to do.”

“Hehe, Ning’er, you’re still as naughty as ever. You’re going to be a mother. You’re still the same as before.”

“Since you’re back, I’ll let you handle whatever matter it is. These days, I’ve been walking on thin ice and trembling with fear.” Qiu Yuan, what do you think we should do next? ”

“Ning’er, I’m very worried that after the emperor regains his senses, there’ll be a huge change in the situation.”

“I am afraid it will be very difficult for him to recover. Moreover, his head is still unable to be cured, so it will be very difficult for him to go up to the imperial court to handle the affairs of the imperial court. In this period of time, do what you have to do. You have to take responsibility for your own actions, and only need to stabilize the situation. ”

“Ning’er, don’t worry. I know what to do, so you should be lazy and take care of your baby.” I wonder if our son will be born like you or me. ”

“It must be like you.”

“I’m worried that someone will see through it. If Your Majesty’s body is restored, after knowing about this, neither you nor I will be able to survive.”

“That won’t happen, Qiuyuan. If it’s like this, we’ll leave the Southern Champion City and return to Fengyuan.”

I’m afraid it won’t be so easy, but he didn’t want Ji Tian Ning to worry so he smiled and said, “Ning’er, I’m back. Leave these matters to me, you just need to enjoy your rest and rest. “Don’t worry, I will arrange everything properly.”

Ji Tian Ning held Shang Qiuyuan by the neck and blew gently into his ear, “I will naturally be at ease once you’re back. Tired?”

“Autumn Plains …”

Ji Tian Ning’s softness and gentleness reached into Shang Qiuyuan’s embrace. They had parted for more than a month, and her heart was filled with longing. At this moment, she only wanted to stay in Shang Qiuyuan’s embrace and never leave.

Shang Qiuyuan suddenly released her, stood up and retreated two steps, then tidied up his clothes without leaving a trace behind. “Empress, although the situation is stable on the surface, it is actually not. Everyone is watching and waiting. The duke has also used some tricks to harass the borders of the Southern Champion Kingdom. If he is allowed to go down, it will be a huge disaster. ”

“Reporting to the Empress, Yan Zhen requests an audience.”

Ji Tian Ning frowned and leaned against the wall helplessly. “Come in.”

Yan Zhen walked in and knelt down to pay his respects. “This subject pays his respects to the Empress.”

“Get up.”

Yan Zhen stood up and turned to kneel towards Shang Qiuyuan, “This general greets Young Master. Many thanks Young Master. If Young Master has any orders in the future, I will obey them all.”

Shang Qiuyuan reached out to support him, “Yan Zhen, this is my responsibility. I wonder how is the progress of royal father’s tomb construction?”

“Reporting to Your Highness, it is almost over. I hope that Your Highness can choose a auspicious day to bury Your Highness.”

“This is a great matter, and cannot be neglected. After I returned, I still have not gone to pay my respects to my father.” Empress, if there is nothing else, this subject wishes to take his leave.

“Go. Go early and come back early. There’s still a feast tonight to help you wash away your dust.” Other than that, don’t forget about the bet between us. ”

Ji Tian Ning blinked at Yan Zhen as he spoke lazily, “I can’t bear the bumpiness. I’ll wait until my father is buried before I head there.”

Yan Zhen knelt down, “Please take care of the Phoenix Body. This subject will do his best to help the Empress share her worries.”

Yan Zhen was now vowing his allegiance to Ji Tian Ning. Ji Tian Ning nodded her head in satisfaction. With the return of Shang Qiuyuan’s heavy soldier, she could put down her worries. Even if there were still people who were unhappy, they would not dare to act rashly.
