Chapter 268 Concealing the Battle Situation

"Your Highness." Doctor Yu exclaimed in surprise.

Xie Tingzhou did not respond. His mind had not yet fully awakened from the chaos. He just opened his eyes.

Xie Tingzhou's body was burning with fever and his internal organs were aching, but he knew that he still had a lot of things to do.

Doctor Yu rubbed his fingertips to warm them up, and placed them on Xie Tingzhou's wrist to diagnose his pulse.

Xie Tingzhou's eyes finally moved. He blinked, stared at the top of the carriage and opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.

Doctor Yu said: "Your Highness, don't worry. You vomited many times when you were fed medicine before. You may have hurt your throat. Why don't you drink some water first?"

Xie Tingzhou drank the water, took a break, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Where is this place?"

Doctor Yu hurriedly said: "We have left Beilin and arrived in Shuozhou."

Xie Tingzhou was stunned for a moment and wanted to get up but failed.

"Don't move, Your Majesty." Doctor Yu advised, "Your Majesty's illness this time is more serious than any other time. Your Majesty has been in a coma for five days."

"Five days..." Xie Tingzhou repeated in a murmur, breathing faster.

Five days is too long, and it can bring about earth-shaking changes in the battle situation along the northwest line.

Doctor Yu was worried that he would get angry, so he hurriedly explained, "The army has been on the way for a long time. This time, the old prince personally led the troops to go ahead, saying that he would pick up the princess for you. We don't have to worry in the rear. Your Majesty must take care of his health on the way, otherwise the princess will blame us when she sees us."

Doctor Yu knew that it was useless to mention anyone now, and mentioning the princess was the most effective.

The dignified King of Beilin, who remained calm in the midst of thousands of troops, was a henpecked man.

Xie Tingzhou remembered Shen Yu's vicious expression before she left.

He was stabbed twice in the fight with Huyantuo, and the remaining poison spread. If she knew, she would probably lose her temper.

More importantly, Xie Tingzhou was afraid of seeing her cry.

Doctor Yu saw that Xie Tingzhou's expression had relaxed, so he struck while the iron was hot, "We will recuperate while walking. The princess must be tired from being busy with the war these days. When we arrive at Yanliang Pass, the princess will also need someone to take care of her. The prince should recover as soon as possible."

"How is the battle situation in Yanliang Pass?" Xie Tingzhou asked weakly.

Doctor Yu said: "The princess has won another victory. I will let General Chang and the prince know the specific situation. The prince will drink the medicine first."

This time, Xie Tingzhou's condition worsened violently.

It was indeed as Doctor Yu said, more dangerous than any previous time.

At one point, he couldn't feed the medicine, and even if he did, he would vomit it out in a few moments.

Doctor Yu had no choice but to feed him continuously and vomit him continuously, swallowing as much as he could.

Several times when the fever was the worst, Doctor Yu was worried that he would not wake up.

According to Xie Tingzhou's pulse, he would definitely not wake up at this moment. He must have relied on his strong willpower to try to wake himself up.

This is not a good thing. Xie Tingzhou's body needs to get enough rest.

Xie Tingzhou drank the medicine, but did not lie down. Instead, he leaned on the pillow and tried his best to suppress the feeling of nausea in his throat.

Doctor Yu went out to call Chang Heng. Chang Heng took off his raincoat before entering the carriage to avoid bringing the cold air in. The carriage suddenly became crowded.

Chang Heng knelt beside the low couch, "Doctor Yu said that the prince needs to rest, so I will briefly report to the prince on the battle situation on both sides. Let's talk about Yanliang Pass first. Xijue suffered great losses in the war, and there was unrest inside Xijue. Boda led his troops back and left people to continue the siege. The princess seized the opportunity to counterattack and won another victory."

Xie Tingzhou's eyes were covered with clouds and mist, and he said softly: "Then what?"

"Then..." Chang Heng subconsciously glanced at Doctor Yu and continued: "Xifeng has arrived at the border. The princess can be replaced to rest. When the old prince arrives at Yanliang Pass, everything will be solved."

Chang Heng was afraid that Xie Tingzhou would ask about the situation at Yanliang Pass, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Oh, and there was also an urgent message from Beilin. Ji Wu fought a battle with the remaining Beirong people. Huyantuo's death seriously injured them. More than 40,000 people fled towards Beirong, and Ji Wu did not pursue them."

Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes and said, "Not pursuing is the right choice."

"Others... nothing else." Chang Heng said, "Anyway, everything went well, and the princess is also safe. The prince just needs to take care of his body and wait to see the princess."

Xie Tingzhou was really tired, but he forced himself to listen to it. As soon as he relaxed, he fell into a coma again.

Chang Heng left the carriage, and the guard handed him a straw raincoat. He took it and put it on the horse's back.

"Why is General Chang so hot?" Doctor Yu asked, "Is he physically unwell?"

"I am mentally unwell." Chang Heng rubbed his chest, glanced at the carriage and said, "Did I reveal anything just now?"

Doctor Yu shook his head.

Chang Heng sighed, "What should I do? I have never lied to the prince, but this is the first time I lied to him. It is such a big lie. If the prince knew it, he would peel my skin off."

"It would be great if the prince could really peel your skin off."

Chang Heng said, "Doctor Yu, you are wrong. Can you hope for me to get better?"

Doctor Yu avoided the wind, "I hope the prince can get better soon. Alas, this matter cannot be sloppy at all. If the prince knew that the princess had gone deep into Xijue, I am afraid he would be angry."

...

This snowstorm came suddenly. Shengjing had not seen such heavy snow for many years.

Li Jifeng got off the carriage, and a eunuch immediately came to hold an umbrella for him.

"The prince came early today. Look at the snow falling non-stop. The servants haven't had time to clean it up yet. The prince should be careful where he lands."

Li Jifeng walked forward expressionlessly, his deerskin boots squeaking in the snow.

"How's your brother?"

Xiao Huangmen smiled broadly, "It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. When Your Majesty got up in the morning, he heard that it was snowing so hard. He was very happy. He even used an extra half bowl of porridge, and then took some medicine."

Li Jifeng nodded, "You have served me well, I will reward you."

"This is what slaves should do. How dare a slave ask for a reward from the prince?"

Li Jifeng did not answer and entered the Xuanhui Hall.

"Your Majesty, King Yan has arrived." The maid bowed and stepped away, holding up the copper basin.

Li Jifeng glanced briefly and saw a lot of black blood on the handkerchief in the basin.

After being poisoned, Li Zhaonian's health deteriorated and he was extremely afraid of the cold. Several charcoal stoves were erected in the palace.

Li Jifeng took off his cloak and sat down next to Li Zhaonian.

"You're here." Li Zhaonian was lying on the couch, covered with a thick fox fur mattress.

Li Zhaonian has become extremely thin. Although he was not elegant in the past, he was still fresh and handsome. Now his cheeks and eye sockets are deeply sunken.

Li Jifeng looked at his deteriorating body and didn't know what to say.

What some people pursue throughout their lives is this position that Li Zhaonian disdains. Sitting in this position is like walking on the tip of a knife.

This place is not suitable for Li Zhaonian.

Li Jifeng came to his senses and asked, "Brother Huang, how do you feel today?"
