The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 120 Qianzhou Epidemic

Receiving two imperial edicts in one day is also unprecedented.

When Princess Qinghe saw Mu Jintang and his wife coming together holding hands, she pulled Tang Peipei over to stand beside her and patted Tang Peipei's hand soothingly.

The eunuch who announced the decree this time was the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

This eunuch Du has been following the emperor since he was first divided into two palaces. He has followed the emperor until now. He can be considered an old man who grew up and grew old with the emperor, so his importance is self-evident.

Letting this eunuch announce the decree may mean that things are not simple.

Eunuch Du heard today that General Mu's new wife was a stunning beauty. Upon seeing her, he found that she was indeed as beautiful as her reputation had said.

But she had just gotten married, and now she and General Mu were separated.

Eunuch Du said to the crowd, "General Wei De, please accept the order."

Mu Jintang and the others knelt down, and Mu Jintang said, "I accept your order."

Eunuch Du opened the bright yellow imperial edict and read out, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Qianzhou has just been freed from drought, but now it is hit by floods and epidemics. I am afraid that the people of Qianzhou are in imminent danger, so I order General Wei De to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to immediately escort relief supplies to Qianzhou. No mistakes can be made. I decree this!"

Mu Jintang couldn't help but suspect that the emperor did it on purpose. He knew that he was getting married today, but he still had to issue such an order in his bridal chamber, asking him to go to Qianzhou immediately. Wasn't this intended to make him unhappy?

Mu Jintang took the imperial edict angrily and said, "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor!"

Seeing Mu Jintang's stern face, Eunuch Du understood Mu Jintang's mood at the moment. In order to prevent Mu Jintang from going to work with emotion, he said, "General Mu, I heard that the fifth prince was injured in Qianzhou. The emperor is worried and only trusts you. I hope you can bring the fifth prince back safely this time."

When Mu Jintang heard that the fifth prince was injured, she was still a little upset, but she didn't show it on her face. She said, "Please go back and tell the emperor that I will definitely fulfill his orders."

Eunuch Du nodded and said, "Then I will go back to report. I hope General Mu can pack up and leave as soon as possible."

Mu Jintang bowed and said, "Yes, Master. Take care."

Eunuch Du waved his hand and left with his men.

Tang Peipei saw that Princess Qinghe was not very surprised, so she asked, "Mother, have you asked Eunuch Du about the situation in Qianzhou?"

Princess Qinghe said, "I heard that the situation is not optimistic. The emperor has summoned the imperial doctors and asked the academicians of the Imperial Hospital to go to Qianzhou with Jintang."

Tang Peipei really wanted to say that she would go with him, but after all, no one knew how good her medical skills were for such a long time, so she didn't dare to say more.

After returning, he helped pack Mu Jintang's spare clothes and some necessary supplies.

Tang Peipei didn't know what kind of epidemic had caused Qianzhou, and it was not appropriate for her to prescribe medicine randomly. She just asked someone to go to the pharmacy to get some preventive medicine, and asked Mu Jintang to find a chance to boil it and drink it on the way.

Mu Jintang took Tang Peipei's hand and said a little embarrassedly: "Peipei, I'm sorry! Tonight was supposed to be our wedding night, but now I have to go to Qianzhou."

Tang Peipei comforted him, "It's okay, I'll wait for you, just be well."

Mu Jintang hugged Tang Peipei tightly, feeling very reluctant to let her go.

Tang Peipei also hugged Mu Jintang back, and the two of them hugged each other, expressing their reluctance to part with each other.

Even if you are reluctant, there is still a time to say goodbye.

The emperor asked them to pack up and leave immediately, so Mu Jintang couldn't delay too long.

Mu Jintang finally let go of Tang Peipei and said, "Then you stay at home. Mother will be staying in the general's mansion recently. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask her."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "I understand. I will get along well with my mother, so don't worry."

Mu Jintang was actually most worried about going to the palace to thank the emperor tomorrow, and she worriedly reminded him, "The emperor has issued an imperial decree granting marriage today. You must go to the palace to thank the emperor tomorrow morning according to the rules. I will not go. You can ask mother to accompany you tomorrow. Don't worry about other things. Just go to the emperor to thank him and leave the palace."

Although Tang Peipei didn't understand the rules of the ancient nobility, she had seen them on TV and knew a little bit about them. She asked, "Don't we need to pay respects to the Queen?"

Mu Jintang said decisively: "No, if she summons you, let mother go with you, do less and say less, and leave everything to mother. But if she does not take the initiative to summon you, you and mother will go to thank the emperor and go back home directly."

Hearing him say this, Tang Peipei actually understood in her heart that Mu Jintang asked her to do this because he was worried that she would suffer a loss in front of the Queen. After all, Tang Peipei was blocking the Queen's way.

Tang Peipei was touched and said, "I understand. Don't worry."

Mu Jintang put his big hands on Tang Peipei's face and looked at her gently, his eyes full of reluctance.

Tang Peipei was actually very reluctant to leave, and even wondered whether she should go with them.

But she still knew that if the emperor granted the marriage, someone had to go to the palace to express his gratitude, and Mu Jintang was only doing his job according to the emperor's orders. She could not go with him without the imperial edict.

A maid's urging voice came from outside, "General, Vice General Yang is here and is waiting outside."

Mu Jintang had to leave. He picked up his things, said to Tang Peipei, "Wait for me," and then turned and left.

Tang Peipei followed all the way to the gate, where Princess Qinghe was already waiting there holding little Tuanzi.

When Mu Jintang saw Little Tuanzi, he hugged him, kissed his face, and said, "I hope that when Daddy comes back, Little Tuanzi will call me Daddy."

When Tang Peipei heard Mu Jintang say this, she felt mixed emotions.

She wondered if all the merits she had accumulated from saving lives and healing the wounded in her previous life had now been used up to meet Mu Jintang.

Tang Peipei took the little girl in her arms and said to Mu Jintang, "Go quickly, they are waiting for you."

Mu Jintang kissed Tang Peipei on the forehead, touched the little girl's head, and said to Princess Qinghe, "Mother, I'll trouble you to take care of Peipei and the little girl for a while. My son is leaving."

Princess Qinghe nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Mu Jintang bowed to Princess Qinghe, turned around, mounted his horse, and left without looking back.

Tang Peipei and Princess Qinghe stood outside the gate until Mu Jintang could no longer be seen.

After Mu Jintang left, Princess Qinghe said, "Peipei, you've worked hard today, go to bed early."

Tang Peipei said: "Yes, mother should go to bed early." After that, she prepared to leave with the little girl in her arms.

Princess Qinghe paused for a moment and said, "Well, Peipei, can you let Xiaotuanzi live in my courtyard?"

A hint of surprise flashed across Tang Peipei's face, but she still handed the little dumpling to Princess Qinghe.

"Of course, I'll have to trouble you, mother, to take care of the little girl."

Princess Qinghe said happily: "It's not hard, I like little Tuanzi very much."

After saying this, she happily held Little Tuanzi in her arms and left with Nanny Yuan and the others.

Tang Peipei got up early in the morning. After a hard day's work, she was really tired, so she went back to her room early to rest.
