The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1519: distinguished
Chapter 1519 Noble
The city in Yan State with the most serious epidemic is very close to the city that Yan State allocated to Da Zhou.
Now that the epidemic is raging, it is indeed necessary for someone from the royal family to go and take charge so that the people can feel at ease. The emperor of Great Zhou went there in person, but as for Yan State… Xiao Rongyan would be worried if little Ali went.
Furthermore, he really hoped that when he was not around… Murong Li would understand that he should shoulder the burden of a country and could no longer rely on him. Just now… the reason why he asked Yue Shi to convey those words to Murong Li was because he felt sorry for Murong Li.
After this incident, Xiao Rongyan would never let the Queen Mother have any chance to send any news to A Li again. If A Li lost his mother at this time and he left without saying a word, the child would be very sad.
He felt distressed when he thought of the tears in Murong Li’s eyes when he saluted him just now.
Coming out of the palace, Xiao Rongyan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the gradually darkening sky, his eyes also darkening.
After getting on the carriage, he closed his eyes and turned the ring on his finger. After a while, he asked someone to drive the carriage into a side alley, ordered all the accompanying guards to retreat, and called out, “Guan Ying…”
“Guan Ying is here!”
Guan Ying and Pingyi were both guards of Xiao Rongyan’s brother Murong Yu, but Guan Ying was a secret guard and Pingyi was a visible guard. Later… before Murong Yu passed away, he arranged for Guan Ying and Pingyi to protect Xiao Rongyan in the future.
Xiao Rongyan raised his hand and opened the smoky brocade curtain of the carriage window. He glanced at Pingyi who was kneeling beside the carriage with his head lowered and said, “Regarding the Queen Mother, whether A Li orders the Queen Mother to be locked up in the palace or sent to the temporary palace, you must follow and make sure that the Queen Mother’s life is not harmed, but… any sound or anything from her cannot appear in front of the emperor. If anyone dares to send any news or objects to the emperor on behalf of the Queen Mother, they will not live.”
“Guan Ying understands!”
“Give the Empress Dowager the same medicine that she gave the Emperor, so that she can also know… how it feels to be full of resentment but unable to get out of bed, and even unable to control your own body.” When Xiao Rongyan said this, there was no longer much fluctuation in his voice.
“yes!”
“Go!” Xiao Rongyan lowered the small curtain of the carriage and closed his eyes again.
He once indulged the Queen Mother because of his brother and his respect for her…
Ah Li couldn’t bear to give up the mother-son relationship, so he softened his heart towards the Queen Mother…
Because of their indulgence and soft-heartedness, a catastrophe almost occurred. For the first time, the State of Yan lost its credibility with the world, causing Abao to give birth prematurely due to panic. His daughter… also became weak as a result. If it weren’t for God’s protection, he might not have been able to see Abao and his two children!
This time, countless innocent people were almost killed because of her victory or defeat, which was contrary to their original intention of betting on the outcome of the national debate.
Xiao Rongyan used to be disappointed with the Queen Mother, but he was still willing to respectfully call her sister-in-law.
Now, the Queen Mother has been blinded by power and wants to win at all costs. She is even willing to sacrifice the lives of the people who once shared the joys and sorrows with the State of Yan. Xiao Rongyan has completely lost his heart towards the Queen Mother.
Human greed is endless. If we let the Queen Mother do nothing again, this time she might give A Li a drug that would make him too weak to get up. Next time… who knows if she would poison A Li and take his life!
Just like…his father!
Xiao Rongyan’s hands on his legs slowly tightened, clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He could never let Ah Li become like his brother…

Bai Qingyan and his group are about to arrive at Dongguan City, and the herbs have been almost collected. Tomorrow morning, Bai Qingyan will personally lead the army to escort the herbs and doctors into Yan territory.
At this time, Lupin was leading people to help a group of doctors prepare face towels boiled with medicine.
Bai Qingjue and Doctor Hong were telling the soldiers about the precautions to take after entering the State of Yan to prevent them from being infected with the disease, as well as how they would deal with the disease if they were infected, in an effort to reassure every soldier.
As early as when attacking Liang State, Bai Qingyan led the Great Zhou Army, which included the Anping Army. They actually already had experience. This is one of the reasons why Bai Qingyan did not lead the Bai Family Army but the Anping Army instead.
Bai Qingyan was sitting under the lamp reading the letter sent by his younger brother Bai Qingyu.
Bai Qingyu said in the letter that he would personally go to the city ceded to the Great Zhou by the State of Yan to guard it, so as to avoid instability among the people in the Zhou area of Yan. His words showed his concern for Bai Qingyan and he promised that he would handle the epidemic well.
She looked at her brother’s handwriting, her brows were full of tender smiles, she picked up the pen and wrote a reply to Ayu, and asked Weisu to deliver it to Bai Qingyu as fast as possible. She wiped her hands with the hot towel handed to her by Wei Zhong, and instructed Weisu: “Send the letter to King Zheng of the State, and tell him… Send someone to escort the herbal medicine to the State of Yan, and he should return to the capital immediately. This is a military order!”
“Yes!” Wei Su took the order and left the tent holding the letter.
Seeing Wei Zhong setting the table for her, Bai Qingyan said, “Wei Zhong, you’ve worked hard on this journey. Go and take a rest!”
“Serving Your Majesty is my duty. How can it be hard or not?” Wei Zhong did not think that he was tired, but that Bai Qingyan was too tired. He knelt on one side and held the chopsticks with a handkerchief and handed them to Bai Qingyan, “Your Majesty, please eat quickly. It has been heated up twice.”
As soon as Wei Zhong finished speaking, Xiao Ruojiang walked in, bowed and said, “Miss, the King of Xihuai… requests an audience.”
Bai Qingyan took the chopsticks handed to him by Wei Zhong and said with a smile: “I have followed you all the way and you finally show up. Please come in…”
“Yes!” Xiao Ruojiang left the tent to invite people.
Soon, King Xihuai came in with Xiao Ruojiang.
Before King Xihuai entered the tent, he saw Bai Qingyan sitting under the lamp and eating. The swaying candlelight outlined her plain and delicate features. Perhaps because she had little military service, her back was extremely straight, showing her proud character. Her manners while eating were extremely elegant, making her whole person as tranquil and indifferent as a painting.
After not seeing each other for a long time, when they met again, King Xihuai felt that Bai Qingyan’s already beautiful facial features seemed even more extraordinary, bright, dazzling, stunningly noble than before.
King Xihuai looked at Bai Qingyan in a daze.
When he first met Bai Qingyan, he was stunned by her beauty. Her delicate beauty was mixed with a heroic spirit, as if she had the power to move mountains and cross seas. He had never seen someone who possessed both of these temperaments at the same time, and now seeing her again… he discovered that Bai Qingyan’s beauty was mixed with an extremely noble feeling.
“I guess King Xihuai hasn’t had his meal yet.” Bai Qingyan looked at King Xihuai with his deep dark pupils, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, signaling Wei Zhong to serve King Xihuai a meal.
“Greetings to the Emperor of the Great Zhou…” King Xihuai came to his senses and bowed to Bai Qingyan.
