Chapter 247 Medicinal Bath

It’s just that imagination is beautiful, and reality is cruel.

When Yan Li came back from the military camp that night, her whole body was sore as if her bones were about to fall apart.

Her face was pale, and her eyebrows were full of fatigue. Her hair, which was wet with sweat and then dried by the wind, also looked much messier.

Fortunately, Ming Qi had prepared in advance and prepared the medicinal materials for relaxing the muscles and bones in advance, and asked the people in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to boil them and give Yan Li a hot bath in the evening.

Mu Cang ordered to do so.

So when Yan Li returned to the palace, the medicinal bath was ready. She washed and ate a few bites of dinner, and then she saw a bathtub in the bedroom of Qilin Courtyard.

The maid poured the boiled medicinal materials into it, and the rich smell of medicine filled the whole room. There was a sense of comfort that penetrated the heart and spleen, as if all the fatigue in the body was soothed.

Mu Cang reached out and tested the water temperature: "The medicines Mingqi got are all the best. Come back every night and soak for a while to avoid straining the body from super-intensive training."

Yan Li hummed, and when he was about to undress, he looked up at Mu Cang: "Are you going out?"

Mu Cang paused: "Can you do it alone?"

"No problem." Yan Li smiled, "Aren't there Qinglian and Baidie?"

Mu Cang nodded: "I'll let them come in to serve."

So Mu Cang quickly turned around and walked out. Not long after, Qinglian and Baidie came in to serve Yan Li in the bath.

Yan Li took off her clothes, closed her eyes and leaned against the bathtub.

The water was hot, and the fragrance of the medicinal materials could penetrate into her nose little by little. The tired and sore muscles and bones all over her body seemed to stretch out little by little, and Yan Li couldn't help but sigh.

Martial arts should be practiced from a young age, step by step, and can't be done all at once.

The body that has never practiced martial arts suddenly has a high-intensity training. This taste is simply unforgettable for a lifetime.

"Princess, you must be very tired." Qinglian was a little worried, "Will you hurt your body?"

Yan Li's voice was lazy and slightly hoarse: "If you want to get something, you must work hard. No one can get it without working."

"But for the princess, it's too hard."

Yan Li closed her eyes: "This little hardship is nothing."

Compared to death, nothing is a big deal.

Since God gave her a chance to be reborn, and she was reborn in Yan Li, a delicate little girl, maybe she was supposed to suffer a little so that she could understand that the emperor's responsibility cannot be slackened. ŴŴŴ.

The medicinal bath takes half an hour.

During the period, when the water temperature drops, Bai Die will add some hot water to the bathtub to keep the water temperature.

After half an hour, Yan Li left the bathtub, dried her body, and lay on the bed in a loose robe. The soreness and fatigue were significantly relieved.

Mu Cang sat on the edge of the bed and massaged her whole body in person. The right amount of force made Yan Li feel comfortable all over.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mu Cang's voice was relatively calm, and he suppressed his heartache. "This body has never practiced martial arts before, so it's normal that you can't handle it for a while."

Yan Li was now in good spirits and replied easily: "Actually, it's okay. I exercised frequently during the time I stayed at the Jiang family, and my physical fitness is much better than at the beginning."

Otherwise, according to her current training intensity, she would probably die.

Mu Cang pressed and said: "How did they react?"

Yan Li thought of the young men on the training ground today, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth: "Almost everyone looked at me with a shocked and complicated look. Maybe they wanted me not to be so strong, but they were afraid of hurting my self-esteem, so they kept hesitating to speak. Some people were worried that I couldn't stand it, so they directly persuaded me."

After all, Yan Li's age and status are there.

In their impression, most of the fourteen-year-old princesses are delicate and willful. It's good that they don't boss them around. They also train with them, and they really don't look like the kind of people who cry out when they suffer a little.

It should be said that Yan Li's performance was too unexpected to them, so that apart from surprise and shock, people could not think of any other emotions for the time being.

"Your elite soldiers listen to me, Jin's elite soldiers also listen to me, not to mention the South. Although they don't know my identity, Rong Xiao naturally has a way to make them listen to me." Yan Li said lazily, "If you want to conquer these proud soldiers, there is no other way except extraordinary ability and perseverance."

The real skills are relied on in the military camp.

Yan Li is a princess, not a commander fighting at the border, and those elite soldiers and generals don't have too high requirements for her.

But at least she can't be delicate and weak.

Otherwise, even if they obey orders, they will inevitably feel a little aggrieved.

"It just so happens that I need to strengthen my body recently, and I will take advantage of these four months of training to recover my skills." Yan Li said, with a smile on her lips, "I am good at riding, archery, and swordsmanship. As long as I regain my physical strength, everything will be fine. Maybe in four months, they will see my rapid progress and think that I am a gifted general."

Mu Cang raised his lips slightly, staring at her rosy face after the medicinal bath, and nodded slowly: "Yeah."

Yan Li lay on the bed, closed his eyes slightly, and recalled his experience of leading troops in the past, as if it was very far away: "When I was fifteen, I led troops to suppress rebellion and conquered a small border country in the south. That war was an experience given to me by my father. With that experience, I roughly understand what the soldiers in the barracks care about. They are all a group of proud and lovely people."

Mu Cang agreed: "There is not much intrigue in the barracks. As long as they are convinced of your ability and character, it will be easy to get along with them in the future."

Yan Li agreed with this sentence.

However, just because she and Mu Cang agreed, it didn't mean that others would agree.

After Mu Cang gave her a full body massage, he was about to let Yan Li rest early, but a servant's report came from outside.

Yan Chen, the second prince of Jin, asked to see him.

Mu Cang's expression suddenly turned cold: "No."

Yan Li lay still, she was too tired to move, and of course she didn't want to meet an unfamiliar person at this time.

"Rest early." Mu Cang covered her with a thin blanket, "Don't worry about other things."

Yan Li hummed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep very quickly.

She slept until dawn.

When Nanny An came in and called her to get up, she looked tangled and distressed: "I actually wanted Your Highness to sleep a little longer, but Your Highness had said in advance that he must get up at this time. I was afraid that I would delay the princess's important matter--"

"Mammy did a good job." Yan Li opened her eyes and interrupted her self-blaming words, "Don't blame yourself."

Nanny An sighed: "I think the princess doesn't need to work so hard. The military camp is not a place for girls to stay."

Yan Li got up to wash and change clothes without explaining.

The military camp is indeed not a place for ordinary girls to stay, but this girl's home does not include her.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the world, she has no right to be pampered and weak.

"Your Highness, are you sore all over?" Nanny An frowned, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Yan Li shook her head and stretched her body gently.

Feeling okay.

After taking a medicinal bath last night and having Mu Cang massage her, the soreness was much better than expected, and strangely, after getting up today, she felt that her complexion was better than ever.

"Give me a set of light and simple clothes, not those cumbersome skirts."

"Yes."

Qinglian came in with freshly brewed tea.

After Yan Li washed up, he stood in front of the window and drank a sip of tea. Thinking of Yan Chen's request for an audience last night, he asked casually: "Has the second prince of Jin who came last night left?"

Qinglian replied: "He left last night and came back early this morning."
