Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 213: This Sixth Prince is Really the Emperor's Biological Son

"Greetings to the Sixth Prince." Cai Qi and Cai Xing, who were kneeling on the ground, bowed their heads and saluted Yu Jingyan.

Yu Jingyan could not care about them at this time, and asked Feng Wuzui anxiously: "Doctor Feng, how is A-Li's injury? It's all my fault. I didn't notice that A-Li was injured."

Doctor Feng originally wanted to scare him, after all, it was he who failed to protect the little girl. But now seeing how anxious he was, he couldn't bear it and sighed.

This tone made Yu Jingyan's heart feel like it had sunk into an icy lake, and it instantly turned cold. He hugged Qiao Lili, who was sitting on the couch and sorting out her clothes, and his eyes turned red.

Doctor Feng sighed and said in a pretentious manner, "What if I come back a little later?"

"Ah, Ali's legs, Ali's legs can't be saved?" Yu Jingyan felt as if struck by lightning and was on the verge of collapse.

Doctor Feng looked at him strangely, thinking to himself, I'm not trying to scare you, you're scaring yourself: "If you come back a little later, the wound will heal."

"Ah?" Yu Jingyan was stunned. Who could bear such extreme sorrow and joy?

"Really?" He held Qiao Lili's face with both hands and asked, "Ali, don't lie to me."

Qiao Lili felt a little embarrassed and pulled Yu Jingyan's hand away from her face: "It's really okay, I'm not lying to you, it's just a small wound."

"Then, why are they all kneeling?" Yu Jingyan pointed at Cai Qi and Cai Xing and asked. Seeing the two of them kneeling and begging, he thought something big had happened.

"Miss, your body is so precious, even a small wound won't do." Cai Qi said, "Let's ask Doctor Feng for medicine to remove the scar."

Qiao Lili asked Yu Jingyan to sit down, and said to Cai Qi and Cai Xing, "Hurry up and get up. You guys are just making a fuss out of nothing. It's normal to get injured on the battlefield. Don't be like this in the future."

"Never let Miss (Ali) get hurt again." The three said in unison.

Qiao Lili didn't take this to heart. She still said that things change rapidly on the battlefield, and no one can control it. But these three people carried out this sentence like an oath. Later, whether on the battlefield or at other times, when she was in danger, these three people used their bodies to block all attempts to hurt her.

This injury was the first and last time.

Arsalan's head was hung above the gate to intimidate the northern Mongols and western Turks.

Ashina broke three ribs and his right arm when Yu Jingyan threw him down. After the military doctor bandaged him, Duke Dingguo Qiao Xuan brought him in for interrogation.

Ashina was a cunning person, which led to him being cautious and self-protective, and not having a strong character. In addition, he was already injured and was afraid of being tortured again, so as long as he knew something, he would spit it out like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Qiao Xuan and a group of soldiers who did not participate in the battle were responsible for interrogating the prisoners, arranging treatment for the wounded, and counting the spoils. After the soldiers who participated in the battle had a hearty lunch, they returned to their tents to rest, and Qiao Lili also took a nap.

After Yu Jingyan accompanied Qiao Lili for lunch, he returned to his tent to rest, looking back every few steps. If this was not a military camp with so many people around, he would never leave for the sake of little Ali's reputation. Even if it was the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, he would definitely sneak back.

But in this large camp, there was no shelter, tents were next to each other, and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere. He really couldn't avoid everyone's eyes.

Qiao Lili was tired, but physical fatigue from fighting was secondary. It was her first time on the battlefield and her mind was tense the whole time, so mental fatigue was the main thing. After Yu Jingyan left, she forced Cai Qi and Cai Xing to sleep on the couch as well. After the two of them lay down reluctantly, she fell asleep in a second.

When she woke up again, the sun was already setting. She didn't know when Caiqi and Caixing had woken up. They were gently packing up their things and wiping her armor.

She got up from the bed and moved her calf. She could still feel a little pain in the injured area, but it hardly affected her movement.

Yu Jingyan was concerned about her injury, so he just took a short rest and then went to wait outside Qiao Lili's tent. The soldiers coming and going were amazed to see that the legendary Sixth Prince, the future Crown Prince of Yan, did not go to rest or discuss matters, but waited outside the Crown Princess's tent.

Thinking of the emperor's feelings for Concubine Yun, and the many things that happened outside the Yunxiao Palace that were passed down as good stories, they all whispered, "This Sixth Prince is really the emperor's biological son."

"I heard that during the court session, the Crown Princess sat with the Emperor at the top, while the Sixth Prince paid homage to the emperor at the bottom with the court officials."

"That's because the Emperor appointed the Crown Princess first. Isn't it natural for the prince to pay respects to the Crown Princess?"

"The emperor of Dayan is also a man of vision."

"Is the Sixth Prince waiting for the eldest lady to have dinner?"

Qiao Lili didn't know that Yu Jingyan was waiting for her outside the tent, nor did she know that the soldiers were looking at Yu Jingyan with auntie smiles on their faces. Yu Jingyan just wondered why there were so many soldiers patrolling this afternoon.

If we can't see the Emperor waiting outside the Yunxiao Palace for Concubine Yun to open the palace gate, then who wouldn't want to be the first to see the moon? Look at the Sixth Prince waiting outside the eldest lady's tent for dinner. Those on duty and those not on duty can't control their feet and keep walking back and forth, and they walk around Qiao Lili's tent.

This, this can be boasted to my son and grandson when I go back. If I live long enough, I will also brag to my great-grandson: "Back then, when the emperor was still the sixth prince, I, your great-grandfather, fought with him. Our emperor was really good to our queen. I saw it with my own eyes..."

At dinner time, Qiao Xuan sent soldiers to find Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan to have dinner in his tent together. The scene of Yu Jingyan being surrounded by all the defenders of the West Gate Camp ended.

"Ali, are you okay?" Although Qiao Xuan learned from Feng Wuzui that Lili's injuries were not serious, he still felt a little nervous when he saw Yu Jingyan carefully supporting Lili.

"Dad, don't worry. It's no problem for me to fight Arsalan for another hundred rounds." Qiao Lili brushed away Yu Jingyan's hand that was supporting her. "Ajing, you are too cautious. I'm fine."

Yu Jingyan let go of his hand awkwardly. After the three of them finished their simple dinner, they summoned all the generals and advisers to discuss the next battle deployment.

Everyone shared the information they knew with each other. Qiao Xuan also recounted the information he got from interrogating Ashina, and based on his explanation, he drew a defense map for the Northern Mongolian soldiers.

Everyone discussed how to fight next, and the majority of people advocated waiting for reinforcements to arrive before fighting.

"Lili, what do you think?" Qiao Xuan asked his daughter. It was Qiao Lili who proposed the surprise attack on the enemy camp, and they won a great victory today. So, he wanted to know what his daughter was thinking at the moment. The generals' attention was also focused on Qiao Lili.
