Wait a minute, heroine

In the Tianmen Gorge, tens of thousands of troops from the north and the south faced each other across the mountains. Lookout posts appeared on the bare cliffs, monitoring each other's movements.

Jingjie City is located behind Tianmen Gorge and in the wilderness between it and the pass. It is full of Wei soldiers who are ready to attack. Because it is in wartime, Jingjie City has also been sealed.

Although the situation is tense, it is difficult to really start a fight in Tianmen Gorge. The interior of Jingjie City is relatively stable. The courtiers who came with the empress gathered in the political hall of the palace and discussed the situation between the north and the south throughout the day.

And behind the palace, in the royal study.

From time to time, several palace maids came to the large desk in the study with files in their arms and put them down.

Dongfang Liren was wearing a silver uniform, sitting upright behind the desk, carefully watching the intelligence coming from various places, and his normally heroic face now clearly felt a bit more uneasy.

However, this uneasiness was not because the Northern and Southern Dynasties suddenly started fighting again, but because my sister was supervising the army yesterday and suddenly left, leaving only a word to let her handle government affairs.

The importance of the first battle between the two countries was self-evident. Dongfang Liren could not think of anything else that could make his sister leave at this time.

It was just a matter of leaving, and he placed such a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.

Dongfang Liren is good at writing and has learned military strategies, but after all, she is just talking about war on paper. Nowadays, there is a war involving hundreds of thousands of people between the two dynasties, how can she dare to take the helm easily.

Although on the first day of the war, the imperial court had prepared plans for various situations and the courtiers could handle them, but if something went wrong and the emperor had to make the decision himself, she was not allowed to catch him blind on the spot.

Dongfang Liren looked at the letters and newspapers sent from various places, and she was always on tenterhooks, fearing that some big news would come that would require her to make the decision. However, she made the mistake of delaying the war, and thus became the eternal sinner of the Wei Dynasty.

Dongfang Liren was not the only one in the study. The empress dowager, who was a general, and Shui'er, who was the emperor's advisor, were also brought over to help serve as military advisors and stand by around the tea table.

Pei Xiangjun has been with Shui'er these days. He originally came here to inquire about the situation, but at this time he was pulled over and sat with Shui'er.

Fortunately, a while passed, and the only news that came was that King Liang had arrived at Liaoyuan and was heading to Pingyi City. There were no other headaches that required a few people to make plans.

However, Dongfang Liren didn't dare to leave, and the three of them couldn't run back to rest first.

Just when Master Xuanji was feeling unsure and wanted to go out to inquire about Yuhu's situation, Hongyu suddenly ran over from outside and said from afar:

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother, Your Majesty is back. And Young Master Ye..."

"Um?!"

As soon as these words came out, the four women in the room were stunned.

Pei Xiangjun almost went crazy thinking about Night Terror Hall. When he heard this, he wanted to run out, but found that the occasion was not suitable, so he quickly stopped and looked at Shui'er.

Naturally, Master Xuanji didn't have so many worries. She stood up and walked towards the palace with the Queen Mother.

When Dongfangli heard that Ye Jingtang and his sister were back, he must have been unable to sit still, so he quickly left the study, walked ahead, and asked:

"Night Terror Hall is back? Where is he..."

"Young Master Ye..."

Hongyu wanted to respond, but her eyes were a little hesitant.

When the four women saw this scene, their hearts sank, their paces quickened almost at the same time, and they trotted to the emperor's chamber.

Tap tap tap...

In the empress's bedroom, the maids had been kicked out, and Divine Doctor Wang and Mrs. Wang were called over. They were next to the dragon bed, taking the pulse of the man lying on the bed.

Ye Jingtang fell asleep when he set off. Because his body was over-stressed, he was basically forced to shut down. He still hasn't woken up yet. The empress doesn't want to disturb Ye Jingtang, and even breathing can hardly be heard in the dormitory.

At this time, the empress had just returned from outside the pass and was washing and changing clothes in the side hall. When she heard footsteps approaching from far away, she walked out of the hall door and raised her finger at Li Ren who was running over:

"Shh~!"

Dongfang Liren ran at the front. He looked up and saw Ye Jingtang lying in the dormitory, and Doctor Wang who was treating him nearby. His heart trembled, and he did not dare to speak loudly, so he quickly came to his sister:

"What's up with him?"

Master Xuanji and the Queen Mother were equally impatient. Pei Xiangjun wanted to run in, but the empress refused to disturb them, and they could not make their own decisions. At this time, they all asked:

"Is he unconscious?"

"What injuries did Night Terror Hall suffer?"

…

The empress knew that several people were most concerned about the Night Terror Hall and deduced the story of Minglong Tu on her own. She told them that it would not have any positive effect except to increase their worries. She just said calmly:

"I met Master Xiang Han outside the pass. I had a fight and was slightly injured. When I came back, I was so tired that I fell asleep. Doctor Wang is checking his body. There should be nothing wrong with him."

Seeing this, Dongfang Liren didn't hesitate to ask any more questions, and instead paced back and forth in the corridor, looking at the Night Terror Hall with a bad expression.

It was the first time for the Queen Mother to see Ye Jingtang behave like this in front of her daughter-in-law. Her eyes were watery and she was about to cry. But she couldn't show it in front of the two unnamed girls, so she could only squeeze Shui'er's hand tightly and gently. Biting your lower lip.

After all, Pei Xiangjun and Xuanji were more stable. They just looked at each other with concern, without much difference.

After waiting for a moment, Divine Doctor Wang and Mrs. Wang quietly walked out of the dormitory and came closer.

Dongfang Liren didn't care about his elders and inferiority at this time, so he got ahead of his sister and asked:

"How is Night Terror Hall's injury?"

As a doctor, Divine Doctor Wang naturally heard the Empress tell the real situation, and just now he was checking Ye Jingtang's body for any flaws or hidden dangers. At this time, he touched his beard and said:

"Except for the fact that his body is overworked, which leads to weak Qi and weak pulse, Lord Ye has no other abnormalities. Normally, if you wake up and eat more nourishing food and get more rest, Lord Ye will be able to recover quickly with his body. .”

The four frightened women were relieved when they heard this.

The empress still couldn't let go and asked again:

"Is there any root cause of the disease?"

Divine Doctor Wang knew what the empress meant by asking. Although he was an authority in medical science and thought he had never missed a single patient, the Ming Long Tu thing was not based on common sense. As an ordinary person, he did not dare to guarantee that there would be absolutely no hidden dangers. This is just the way:

"Weichen's pulse has not been detected. Either it is not there, or it has not appeared for the time being. No matter which one, there will be no problem in a short time."

When the empress heard that there would be no problems in a short time, she was already satisfied and turned around and said:

"Come here, take Doctor Wang back to his home."

Divine Doctor Wang bowed his hands and asked Mrs. Wang to stay as a medical consultant to the empress, and then followed the palace maid out of the palace.

Dongfang Liren felt a lot more relaxed when he saw that Ye Jingtang was alright and just needed more rest. He wanted to go in and take a look, but was afraid of being disturbed, so he wanted to stand in the corridor and wait.

But the empress did not have the beauty of an adult and said:

"You guys should go back too. Night Terror Hall needs to rest. When he wakes up, I will ask him to come to you."

Dongfang Liren felt that she should be waiting here. Her sister went out to be busy with military and political matters, but she looked like she had been busy all day and night. It was inappropriate for her not to let her rest in order to see her lover, so she immediately said:

"Sister, please get some more rest. Let's leave first."

The empress nodded slightly. After watching the four people leave with the palace maids, Feng Qingyundan's leisurely look calmed down. A trace of worry appeared in her brows. After looking at the night terror hall in the room, she said to Mrs. Wang who was on standby. :

"Mrs. Wang, go and talk to the dining room and ask them to bring over a box of instant noodles."

Mrs. Wang saw that Ye Jingtang was sleeping on the dragon bed, and she didn't dare to think about the things behind it. But when she heard that the empress wanted this, she was still a little confused:

"Your Majesty, are you hungry? How about I cook..."

The empress is naturally not hungry, but has promised to come back and feed Ye Jingtang. The emperor naturally has to keep his words. She said calmly:

"Just go and do it."

"Oh, yes..."

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately ran down to deliver the order.

After everyone left, the empress turned around alone and returned to the dormitory. She sat down next to the dragon bed carved with dragons and phoenixes. She stared at the handsome face that was sleeping. In her eyes, there was no longer the domineering calmness of the empress of the country. It's just the daughter's heart that turns around.

After staring for a long time, the empress wanted to raise her hand to touch Ye Jingtang's cheek, but she was afraid of waking up Ye Jingtang who had finally slept, so she finally put her hand down and took out a Pisces pendant from the bedside.

The Pisces Pendant was something that the Empress had carried since she was a child. It was a gift from her mother and concubine in order to keep her safe in the future; and the result was just as her mother expected. Although she had gone through many ups and downs since she was born, she had to bear it time and time again. It has been in the past, and it has been peaceful and stable until now.

The empress caressed the Pisces pendant, feeling a little regretful in her heart. She should have given this jade pendant with special meaning to the love of her life.

But last time I went to Xihai, I gave them to all the tribes. Why didn’t I let him take them with me this time...

…

——

Time turned into night in a blink of an eye, and the silvery moonlight shone from the window to the front of the dragon bed.

Ye Jingtang lay on the bed, his mind confused. When he woke up again, he realized that the place he was in had changed from Yuhu's flexible shoulders to a warm bed.

The spring quilt covering the body is so light that it seems to have no weight, and the quilt is extremely soft, as if lying on the clouds, with the refreshing orchid fragrance coming from the tip of the nose.

"call……"

Before Ye Jingtang opened his eyes, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. He felt slightly that the chaotic energy and blood in his body had returned to stability in his sleep, and his mind was much clearer than last night. Apart from the fatigue that made it difficult to open his eyelids, It feels like there are no other abnormalities in my body, as if I have come back to life again.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the deduction...

Such an idea flashed through Ye Jingtang's mind. Because it was a little hard to open his eyes, he lay down to regain his strength and feel the physical condition. As a result, his hearing gradually recovered soon, and the distant voice also came:

"Your Majesty, Master Ye's physical condition is hard to predict. He should be warmed up with soup and cooked with dry food. I'm afraid..."

"Keep them all ready, just change them to soup later if he doesn't want to eat."

"How dare Mr. Ye not eat the noodles cooked by His Majesty..."

…

Although the voice was a bit far away and very soft, Ye Jingtang could still recognize that it was Mrs. Wang's voice. She was probably serving as the accompanying imperial physician and had been following Yuhu. The other voice was naturally that of Yuhu who was cooking in person. Tiger.

After resting for a while, Ye Jingtang gradually regained strength in his limbs and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing that caught his eye was the red top of the bed embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns. The spring quilt on his body was also gold and red. Just looking at the extremely luxurious craftsmanship, You know it's not a place for ordinary people to lie down.

There is a gauze curtain hanging outside the bed, and you can vaguely see the bedroom outside.

The bedroom is quite spacious, divided into two rooms, the inner and outer. The inner room is covered with carpets, the coffee table is lit with incense from a copper stove, and the walls are hung with calligraphy works by everyone from past dynasties, as well as poems he once recited.

The Chilong Sword was placed on the table next to the dragon bed. Next to it was a black robe made of water cloud brocade on a tray. There was also a very familiar Pisces pendant on the clothes.

Ye Jingtang looked at the familiar scenery and knew that he had arrived at the palace in Jingjie City. Seeing that no one was disturbing him, he slowly sat up, picked up the jade pendant on his robe and looked at it, then held the bed Standing up, wearing only black thin pants, he came to the window of the dormitory.

Outside the window is an elegant garden with hundreds of flowers blooming. There are yellow palace lanterns hanging in the veranda, and a moonlight hanging on the ridge of the roof. It feels like the entire palace city is quiet.

Ye Jingtang came to the palace last time, and now he looked in the direction of Nuanshoubao, but the palace was quite large, and the Queen Mother did not live with Yuhu, so naturally she didn't feel it, and Benben and Shui'er didn't know either. Where did it go.

After looking around for a week, Ye Jingtang could confirm that Yuhu and Mrs. Wang were in the small kitchen at the back of the side hall. He wanted to go there, but the presence of Mrs. Wang, who was the imperial doctor, was not suitable, so he let the gentle night breeze blow in the window. Waiting, while recalling the picture of the singing dragon.

When he dealt with Master Xiang Han, he only deduced one map. According to his understanding, it should be the "earth" map in the two maps of heaven and earth. To make it easier to remember, he tentatively named it "moving mountains map". After all, according to the map of Minglong The more he practices, the stronger he gets. Now that he can get his sword back, he might even be able to move mountains and seas like the legendary gods.

Ye Jingtang can completely understand the martial arts skills of previous years, but the last three pictures have already understood the mystery. Even if he has defeated the Martial Saint, his attainment and understanding are still far behind, and he does not know the logic behind it.

Since there was nothing unusual at the moment, with the intention of doing more research if he was not sure, Ye Jingtang, who had nothing to do, thought for a while and then put his hand behind his back and slightly spread his left hand, assuming a rather chic and elegant posture.

Phew~

In the silent garden, the rootless night wind blew again.

Ye Jingtang could feel a qi in his body, running along the eight extraordinary meridians, and his mind could also feel the saber behind him, and it seemed that he could hold it by raising his hand.

He tried to lightly hook his fingers, but he immediately felt a sense of powerlessness, just like a skinny scholar being squeezed by a dozen rich women in turn. His legs went weak before he could move, and he had to hold on to the window sill to stand firm.

Ye Jingtang just tried it and found that he couldn't bear it and stopped immediately. His body was as expected and there was no backlash. He felt relieved at the moment. As he was thinking about it secretly, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor. Come.

Ta Ta ~

In the verandah of the side hall, the empress was wearing a bright red dress, holding a tray in her hand, which contained a pair of chopsticks and a bowl filled with hot noodles. As soon as she turned around the verandah, she saw Ye Jingtang's naked upper body. , standing at the window of the dormitory, posing with one hand behind his back in a graceful manner.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang's complexion had recovered very well, and there was no other abnormality except that he was a little weak, the empress was slightly startled, and then quickly came closer, showing a slight displeasure:

"Why are you up? You haven't put on your clothes yet, what should you do if you catch the wind and cold?"

After saying that, he entered the house from the door, placed the tray on the round table, then took a soft blanket from the bedside and put it on Ye Jingtang's back.

Ye Jingtang and Yu Hu have known each other for so long and have always been teased. This is the first time I have seen such a good wife and mother. He was helped to sit down at the table with a smile on his face:

"I just woke up and felt that my body was fine, so I got up and moved around. When did we come back? Where are Liren and the others?"

The empress sat down beside her, holding a hot noodle bowl and placing it in front of Ye Jingtang:

"It's been less than half an hour since I came back. Li Ren is handling government affairs outside. The Queen Mother and the others are helping. They came here to visit just now. You were fast asleep and didn't bother you..."

After surviving the night terror, he misses his wife extremely:

"After finally coming back, I definitely want to meet them. After they finish their work, I will go find them."

"Don't worry, let's eat something first." The empress handed the chopsticks to Ye Jingtang: "We have sent someone to inform Meng Jiao and the others to go directly to Chengtian Mansion to pick them up. When the Imperial Master arrives in Yanjing and hears the news, he will definitely do the same. Look for it, you don’t have to worry about your safety, you’ll be back in three to five days at most…”

Ye Jingtang chuckled, because Yuhu had already made all the arrangements, and he was not too verbose. He took his chopsticks and looked at the chicken noodle soup with chopped green onions:

"Is this the secret noodle you were talking about?"

The empress picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it to her mouth, blew on it, and fed it to Ye Jingtang's mouth:

"Try it first. If you don't like it, just ask someone to change it. The dining room has a lot of it, including mutton soup from Honghe Town."

Ye Jingtang has been sleeping outdoors all year round, and he can eat any roasted hare with gusto. How could he think that this chicken noodle soup with all the color, aroma and flavor is not delicious? After just tasting it, his eyes lit up:

"Yeah! It tastes good. The soup should not be simple. I have never tasted such a fresh soup..."

The empress was impeccable except for her artistic skills. When she saw Ye Jingtang's compliments, her eyes showed a hint of pride:

"I learned this from the royal chef in the palace. When Li Ren was young, she didn't want to eat when she was angry. Since my mother and concubine were not around, I had to cook for her. But later on, when there were more and more things to do, I did less... eh, Eat slowly..."

"Suck, suck, suck..."

Ye Jingtang took a five-flavor mixed pill from last night to tonight, and it took a lot of energy to recover from the injury. Now he is hungry. As a martial artist, he is not as polite as a scholar. He can keep his head down and work hard. After three or two strokes, half of the sea bowl, which was bigger than Yuhu's chest, was consumed.

Only then did the empress suddenly realize that Niao Niao probably learned from Ye Jingtang when it came to eating. However, men like to eat their own food, which is mostly because they are happy. She raised her hand and stroked Ye Jingtang's back, thought for a while and asked:

"Now that you're back, tell me, what reward do you want this time?"

When Ye Jingtang heard this, he stopped eating noodles. Before, he would have politely refused, but now that the relationship was clear, there was no need to be so coy, so he raised his chin slightly to signal.

The empress didn't hesitate when she saw this. She leaned forward and tapped her lips, and then said:

"Is this a small request for a dignified seven-foot man?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Ye Jingtang smiled and gestured to the bowl in front of him: "Just this bowl of chicken noodle soup is something that many people have been dreaming of for a lifetime. My adoptive father is not a good cook. I have been eating from a big pot since I was a child, and later I became a prostitute. No matter what, I had no fixed place to live and ate wherever I went. It wasn't until I came to the capital to live with Ning'er Yunli that I realized how good it was to come home from work every day and have someone prepare a meal and wait for it in the house.

"Needless to say, my adoptive father was a son of a wealthy family when he was young. He wanted to work hard for himself, but he failed because of the love in his heart. After a lifetime of ups and downs, he probably never dared to think about one day returning home after serving as an escort. The day when my wife has cooked the rice and is waiting for her. Alas..."

Talking about his adoptive father who had passed away for more than a year, Ye Jingtang's expression showed a hint of sadness. He stopped talking and ate noodles again.

The empress originally wanted to give in to Ye Jingtang's favor and open up a naughty accent, but when she saw that Ye Jingtang was not coaxing her, but was really moved, she listened to the words again, and naturally put her cheek on her shoulder and said softly:

"Don't be in a hurry. Eat slowly. The water is still burning. If it's not enough, I'll go in."

"hehe……"

It was quiet inside and outside the dormitory. The man who had returned from the expedition sat at the round table and ate the chicken noodle soup cooked by the woman. Although it was ordinary and without any disturbance, the eyes that inadvertently looked at each other were not as good as husband and wife...

Unknowingly, my routine was reversed again, and it was almost dark when I woke up or2
