The general's princess-to-be

Chapter 69 - Night Dive into the Palace

The red leaves hang down through the trees, and the dust brings fallen flowers.The rain continued from noon to the evening and there was no sign of stopping. Outside the imperial city, the soldiers were ready to go. Yue Qingchuan had already counted the soldiers and made all preparations. He rode on the tall horse and looked back with some reluctance. Heading in the direction of the imperial city, we only waited for the hour to set off immediately.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and half of the soles of the feet could be sunk by stepping on the muddy and wet ground. The cold rainwater easily pierced into the body and melted into the bone marrow. The heat from the exhalation quickly dissipated in the heavy rain .

The relatives and people who came to see them off all cried and their eyes were red. This war came too suddenly. The soldiers who were not prepared for it reluctantly expressed their love to the relatives who were about to be separated. Bless and pray for their early and safe return. Looking at the tearful scene in front of him, Yue Qingchuan couldn't help but turn red. He had no relatives, and the incident happened suddenly, so he didn't have time to say goodbye to his friends. Naturally, no one came to see him off, so it was a bit desolate.

He used to feel that he was alone and had no worries, everything was fine, and he didn't have to be as frightened as others every time he went out to battle, for fear that he would die in the battle and would not be able to return, but now he seemed to suddenly have cares and ties.

I don't know what happened to Your Highness?Has the fever gone?Has the wound infection been dealt with now?The best way to keep the wound from getting infected and festering is to cut off the damaged rotten flesh. He must be very sick and in pain now, right?It's all my own fault. If I hadn't avoided him that day, he wouldn't have accidentally been burned because he was looking for him.

Just as Yue Qingchuan was thinking, he suddenly raised his hand as if no one else was around and slapped himself hard. Fortunately, everyone around him was busy with their own business, and no one noticed his sudden and inexplicable behavior.

The rain mixed with the slap on the face was very painful, but it was not as good as the pain and concern in my heart. I really wanted to visit him before leaving, even if it was just a visit. It's here, I'm afraid I don't have time.

"General..."

Tang Ze's voice suddenly came from a distance, Yue Qingchuan looked up in disbelief, isn't this time when Tang Ze is on duty, why did he come suddenly.

"Why are you here, shouldn't you be on duty now?" Yue Qingchuan frowned.

"The general is about to go to war. How could I, Tang Ze, not come to see you off? I was transferred with someone else. Fortunately, I was able to come to see you off in time. But, general, you really don't want to take me with you?" Tang Ze frowned, his tone quite Dissatisfied: "I have followed you through life and death for more than ten years, why don't you take me with you? The general thinks I'm in the way?"

Yue Qingchuan smiled when he heard the words, and wiped the rain from his face: "What are you talking about, how could I think you are in the way, but now I can only leave with peace of mind if you stay in the palace."

"I asked you to stay because I want you to help me protect the palace. I'm not in the capital, and the palace is completely protected by you. There must be no trouble."

"What kind of trouble can happen in the palace? We have been working in the palace for several months, and we haven't seen any trouble. We haven't even met a thief with dirty hands and feet. There is nothing to worry about."

While muttering, Tang Ze stepped forward and tugged on Yue Qingchuan's sleeve with some reluctance, and said resolutely, "Just take me with you, and go to battle to kill the enemy. I, Tang Ze, won't be defeated by one enemy and one hundred." By the way, I'm a little worried that you went alone like this."

Yue Qingchuan let out a chuckle, "It's not like you don't know my strength, your general, so there's nothing to worry about. Don't worry, I won't die."

"Bah, bah, what did you say? It's a taboo before leaving." Tang Ze spat a few times as he spoke.

Yue Qingchuan smiled, slandering Tang Ze for always being so superstitious, it could be as if he could guarantee that he would not die if he didn't say death.

"Okay, listen to me carefully, stay in the palace, and help me protect everyone in the palace."

Yue Qingchuan actually wanted to say to help me protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but when the words reached his mouth, he turned a corner and said seriously: "Remember, if there is any accident in the palace, you must send the letter to me as soon as possible, listen to no."

The corners of Tang Ze's mouth curled up slightly, and he whispered understandingly, "Since the general is so worried, why don't you go and have a look before you leave."

"I......"

Yue Qingchuan was about to speak, but raised his eyes as if thinking of something, and stared at Tang Ze with a surprised expression, a little uncertain, he never told Tang Ze about his relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince!Why is there something in Tang Ze's words? With a strange tone, he seems to know a lot.

"You... What are you talking about, look? What are you looking at?" Yue Qingchuan asked knowingly, with a guilty conscience.

Tang Ze shook his head with a helpless smile, turned his head to look around, lowered his voice and said slowly: "Although the general didn't say anything, I already knew."

"When the general and the crown prince hugged each other at the entrance of the imperial study that day, many people saw it. It was already spread in the palace privately. The general has nothing to hide."

Yue Qingchuan couldn't help but blushed, cleared his throat a little uncomfortably, said "Oh" in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

"Does the general really like the crown prince?" Tang Ze gossiped curiously. Although there had been rumors in the palace for a long time, none of the parties involved admitted it to make people feel at ease.

"Ok!"

Regarding Tang Ze, Yue Qingchuan never concealed anything. He didn't say before that he didn't have time, and he didn't find an opportunity. Now that he asked, he didn't feel any embarrassment.

"Since the general really likes the prince and is worried, why don't you say goodbye before leaving."

"I......"

Tang Ze pursed his lips angrily, and heard some rumors that the emperor was obstructing him from the rumors, and he knew that the two people were in a difficult situation: "When I first came, I specially went to help the general to inquire about it. The maids said that the prince is seriously injured now, the wound is festered and infected, and the high fever persists. The people in the Tai Hospital are already in a state of anxiety.

Yue Qingchuan frowned and didn't know what to say for a moment, how could he not be worried, but the emperor ordered him to go on the road overnight, and the emperor's order came before him, so he dared not disobey.

Seeing that Yue Qingchuan was in trouble, Tang Ze was a little annoyed at his talkativeness. He had no malicious intentions at all, and he didn't want to distract Yue Qingchuan, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't say anything, Yue Qingchuan would definitely keep this matter in his heart. This is not conducive to him going to battle to kill the enemy. If he is distracted by this, the consequences will be unimaginable, it is better to solve the matter thoroughly before going out, no matter whether the result is good or bad, at least he will not be distracted by it.

Yue Qingchuan thought for a long time, looked around at the soldiers and their relatives who were crying together, his heart couldn't help tightening, the way forward was unknown, no matter how confident he was, there was no guarantee that he would retreat in good health, in case he couldn't come back Now, this side is right to see him for the last time.

Thinking of this, Yue Qingchuan nodded at Tang Ze: "Help me take the soldiers away first, I'll come back later to find you, work harder tomorrow, and return to the palace before the changing of the guard at night."

"Don't worry, general, it will be too late if you don't go."

Yue Qingchuan smiled when he heard the words, and was about to ride his horse away when Tang Ze suddenly said, "General, wait a minute, take this with you."

As Tang Ze said, he threw a token to Yue Qingchuan, holding the token in his hand, Yue Qingchuan smiled gratifiedly: "Thank you."

The swiftly galloping horseshoes splashed muddy water on the ground, staining Yue Qingchuan's entire hem of clothes, and the piercing rain slapped on his face and body. His clothes had already been soaked by the rain, sticking to his skin uncomfortably wet, but he didn't care He waved the horsewhip in his hand again and again, hoping that he would go faster and faster.

At the last moment when the key was released at the palace gate, he finally arrived at the gate of the palace. The guards on duty at the palace gate seemed to have been dealt with a long time ago. They only took a cursory look at Yue Qingchuan and the token in his hand before letting him in. Then he pretended he didn't see anything and was busy.

Yue Qingchuan couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart, he didn't expect Tang Ze to be so careless and careful, but even after entering the palace, Yue Qingchuan didn't dare to blatantly go to the East Palace, at this point in time, if other people in the palace see him Appearing in the palace, I am afraid that I will lose my head completely.

Avoiding the patrolling soldiers, Yue Qingchuan went stealthily all the way, and finally reached the gate of the East Palace, and was about to lift his foot to enter, but he saw Eunuch Liu guarding the gate of Bai Junmo's bedroom, calling back and forth to the imperial doctors and maids who came in and out attendants.

With so many people at such a late hour, Yue Qingchuan couldn't help but feel nervous. It seems that His Highness's injury was more serious than he thought. stature, hiding in the dark and staring intently at every move at the door, I only hope that Eunuch Liu can leave early so that he can find a chance to go in.

Yue Qingchuan bent his waist, hid in the bushes and drenched in the rain for an hour, the imperial doctor who came to treat Bai Junmo left intermittently, and Mrs. Liu sent many maids and servants to wait on him, holding an umbrella , slowly out of the East Palace.

Eunuch Liu had just left for a while, and before Yue Qingchuan had time to get up, the gate of the East Palace was ruthlessly closed. Looking at the high wall in front of him, Yue Qingchuan looked up for a while with his hands on his hips, and was about to fly over the wall and enter. A big sneeze burst out of his throat.

Well, the wall has not yet been overturned, and the patrolling guards have been alarmed. As a last resort, I have to hide among the flowers again, hold my breath, and wait for the patrolling guards to check the surroundings and enter over the wall.

Yue Qingchuan scolded himself thoroughly in his heart, wishing to die sooner rather than later, but at this time he caught the cold, his nose was running down from the cold, and his whole body was shaking. It's going to be abolished, how can we go to war after tomorrow.

Finally, when the inspecting guards left, Yue Qingchuan didn't dare to be reckless. After looking around, he jumped into the East Palace.

Even when he fell asleep, Bai Junmo still frowned, his face was dripping with cold sweat, and he muttered unintelligible words in his mouth. Ting An anxiously helped Bai Junmo wipe the sweat from his forehead, and even had to change it every once in a while. A wet cloth towel on Bai Junmo's forehead.

Yue Qingchuan quietly sneaked into the palace, but the palace is brightly lit tonight, there are several maids who come to serve, the palace is so big, what can be done.

Yue Qingchuan was anxious, knowing that his sweetheart was in the room, but he couldn't go in to see him, he was sweating profusely for a moment, that's all, don't care, there is really no other way but to knock everyone unconscious.

Yue Qingchuan gritted his teeth, made a quick decision in his heart, looked at the time, if he didn't hold on tighter, he would not have much time to spend with his sweetheart.

"Go, go and change the basin of water."

Without looking back, Ting An greeted the maid behind him who was waiting for orders at any time, but after waiting for a while, no one responded to him. Curious and annoyed, he was about to turn around to scold him, but suddenly his back turned cold, and before he had time to react, his eyes One black, completely fainted.

Looking at the maid and Ting An who had turned the whole room down, Yue Qingchuan clasped his fists in apologetic face: "I'm sorry everyone, I really didn't mean anything malicious, I'm really sorry..."
