Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Gu Ting returned to the mansion, drove away the servants, and hugged Pei Man.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Pei Man quickly asked, What's the matter? Did you quarrel with Master Hou?

Gu Ting shook his head, We are going back to the capital.

Pei Man was stunned, unable to react, Back to the capital? When? Have you figured it out yet?

Gu Ting let go of Pei Man, sat in the study, bowed his head and said: The military department will send an order soon, and our family will return to the capital at that time.

Pei Man was silent.

At this time, there was a sudden order to transfer Gu Ting back to the capital. This matter was not simple at first glance.

She was very nervous and at a loss, Is the imperial court going to attack the Northwest Army?

I don't know! Gu Ting was very irritable.

He has been in the army for ten or twenty years, and the Northwest Army is his home. But he could only watch helplessly as the imperial court dismembered the Northwest Army, but there was nothing he could do.

This sense of powerlessness made him feel exhausted.

What is he going to do?

What can you do if you stay?

What can I do when I return to the capital?

He was not sure how to persuade his sister and His Majesty to let go of the Northwest Army.

Military affairs will never be changed because of someone's will.

Pei Man hugged him, Maybe our worries are unfounded, and things are not so tense.

Gu Ting looked back at her, I drank with my uncle today, and his attitude is a bit weird.

What kind of weird method?

I can't tell.

Pei Man gritted her teeth, I'll ask my elder brother to find out.

Gu Ting took her hand, Don't go! He won't say a word about military matters.

I don't ask about military affairs, I only ask about family affairs.

With a firm attitude, Pei Man broke free from Gu Ting's hand, gathered the men and horses, and rode out of the mansion.

Being in the northwest, Pei Man's riding skills are better than many men in the army.

She gallops on horseback,

Headed to the tavern.

When she arrived at the tavern, Pei Meng and Mr. Dou were coming out of the tavern.

The entire tavern was surrounded by Pei Meng's personal soldiers, and all individual guests were driven away.

At this moment, the soldiers are gathering to escort Pei Meng back to the barracks.

Brother!

Pei Man yelled, and rushed to Pei Meng in an instant, looking down at him.

Why is Xiaoman here? Why isn't she staying with Gu Ting at home?

I have something to ask you.

She looked serious, Find another quiet place to talk, or just here?

Pei Meng got on his horse, Follow me.

The two brothers and sisters, one in front and one behind, galloped towards the pasture.

The soldiers and Mr. Dou followed from a distance.

Green pastures, flocks of cattle and sheep.

Pei Man grabbed the rein and looked at Pei Meng, How many years has it been since eldest brother returned to the capital?

Ten years or so.

Brother, do you remember what your sister-in-law looks like? Do you remember what your little nephew and niece look like?

Pei Meng looked back at Pei Man, What exactly do you want to say?

Pei Man bit her lip, her eyes were stubborn, I don't understand military affairs, I just ask my elder brother, what should we do at home? What about mother and sister-in-law? Don't you and father ignore them?

Pei Meng looked solemn, Xiao Man, don't think wildly?

Are you sure I'm thinking wildly? I don't understand military affairs, but it doesn't mean that other people don't understand either. This year I received letters from my mother, sister, and even my sister-in-law. There are more than a dozen letters in total. How many letters have you and your father received? Letters from home?

Pei Meng said expressionlessly: Two letters!

Two letters! Pei Man sneered, You and your father never thought about why?

Pei Meng said vaguely: Some things cannot be avoided.

It's all an excuse!

Then what do you want my father and me to do? Capture him without a fight, and the head fall to the ground? Pei Meng was furious.

Pei Man wept silently, her eyes filled with sadness, Is there no other way?

Pei Meng took a deep breath, There is still a chance.

Pei Man was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.

She heard Pei Meng say: I will escort your family back to Beijing, and I will fight for that chance.

Pei Man covered her heart, If you didn't win, would you take sister-in-law away?

Pei Meng shook his head, The family members must stay in the capital. As a hostage.

This is the court's balancing act.

For thousands of years, the dynasties have changed several times, but the defense against generals has never been relaxed.

Pei Man burst into tears, You are too cruel!

Pei Meng said, They stay in the capital, and they still have a chance.

Fart! Pei Man was furious, The imperial court will blame them, and they will be the first to die. What do you want me and my sister to do? Are you going to watch my mother's family decapitated?

Collect their corpses for a safe burial. Don't worry about others. Pei Meng's voice was as cold as ice.

Pei Man accused loudly, How can you be so cold and cruel?

Pei Meng's eyes were firm, As the Pei family, while enjoying the glory and wealth, we must also be prepared to ransack the house and decapitate.

Pei Man trembled and felt cold all over.

She asked weakly: Can I ask the Empress? The Gu Pei family are relatives by marriage after all.

This is an important matter for the imperial court, and no personal affair should be involved. Xiaoman, you should understand this truth. So after returning to the capital, don't mention the Pei family or the Northwest Army in front of the empress. This is for your own good! Regardless of the situation If it develops to that point, you and Gu Ting will definitely be fine.

Can I just watch you have an accident?

I can, why can't you?

Pei Meng's words were too cruel, like a knife piercing Pei Man's heart, making her in agony.

Pei Meng didn't regret it at all, As a member of the Pei family, you should have this awareness.

Pei Man wiped away tears, Are you and your father deliberately forcing me to be a ruthless woman?

Pei Meng looked at the sky, Without a heart, there will be no pain! Life will be easier. Besides, things may not develop in the worst direction.

Are you sure you can seize that lifeline? Pei Man asked eagerly.

Pei Meng smiled, That depends on the conditions offered by the emperor and empress.

If the imperial court asked their father and son to give up their military power and return to the capital to retire, it would be better to die in battle.

If the imperial court tried to dismember the Northwest Army, it would be better to do the opposite.

In Pei Meng's eyes, there is no solution between the Northwest Army and the imperial court.

He really couldn't think of how Queen Gu could solve this problem.

He is curious!

More is vigilance.

He is not as optimistic as Mr. Dou.

Pei Man knew it well, it was pointless to continue talking.

No one can convince anyone.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and asked, When are you leaving for the capital?

Pei Meng said: Don't worry! You should pack your luggage slowly first. You can hand over the bulky items that are not suitable for carrying. You can send them back to Sanhe Express. Sanhe Express is still very professional in sending things.

Pei Man asked again: Father won't go back to the capital?

Pei Meng smiled and pointed to his feet, This is my father's hometown, our home.

Lu Hou will never return to the capital in this life, unless he dies!

Pei Man asked, Aren't you worried about mother?

Mother, you don't need to worry about me. She thinks clearly and thoroughly than anyone else.

Pei Man sneered, You are really a good son of mother.

Pei Meng didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in the words, and said as a matter of course: She is proud of me, of course I am her good son.

Audacious! How can you say that.

Pei Man rode back to the city, she was about to suffocate!

Pei Meng watched her go away, expressionless.

Mr. Dou came to Pei Meng on horseback, Don't worry, uncle, there is still a chance.

Mr. Dou is really full of confidence in the empress. Pei Meng sarcastically said.

Mr. Dou took the blame from Luhou, Master Hou is also full of confidence in Uncle's entry into Beijing.

Father was bewitched by you. Pei Meng was very dissatisfied.

Mr. Dou excitedly said, Uncle, don't you really wonder what is the lifeline that the empress is preparing for?

Sooner or later, they will fight! Do you really think there will be any results in the negotiation?

The old man is looking forward to the outcome of the conversation.

Old thief!

...

Pei Man returned home, threw herself into Gu Ting's arms, and burst into tears.

Gu Ting hugged her tightly, patted her on the back, and comforted her softly.

Pei Man was tired from crying and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Ting stood by her side.

Three children, two sons and a daughter, are half-grown children.

Gu Ting comforted the children, Mother is fine, she will only cry if the sand gets in her eyes.

Did the mother accidentally let the sand blind her eyes like the daughter?

correct!

I'll blow it to my mother.

Mother is asleep, don't wake her up.

The daughter is obedient and doesn't talk.

Good boy.

Gu Ting hugged his daughter, feeling that a daughter is still caring.

Pei Man fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next morning.

She regained her spirit, healed her pain, and began to pack her luggage, bid farewell to her old friends, and prepare for returning to the capital.

Half a month later, Gu Ting officially received an order from the Ministry of War to transfer him back to the capital.

Gu Ting was a little melancholy.

Take the time to say goodbye to Junzhong Paozawa, write down everyone's home address, and hope to have the opportunity to meet in the future.

Deng Cunli came to visit Gu Ting.

Gu Ting asked curiously: Is Eunuch Deng planning to go back to the capital with us?

Deng Cunli shook his head, Our family will continue to stay in the Northwest to drive for the Empress.

The general is asking too much, the queen sent Eunuch Deng to the northwest, not just for business. What are you busy with?

Deng Cunli answered irrelevantly, Has the general noticed any changes in the city?

Gu Ting nodded, There are more wells, ditches have been dug, and waterwheels have been installed.

Other than that?

Gu Ting thought about it carefully, It seems that there are more scholars.

Exactly! Most of the scholars that General Gu saw on the street came from Shanhe Academy, and a few came from local academies.

What are the students from Shanhe Academy doing in the Northwest?

Explore terrain, draw maps, find water sources and mines, etc. There are many things that need to be done.

Gu Ting was stunned for a moment, Is this done privately by the academy, or authorized by the imperial court?

Of course it is authorized by the imperial court! Shanhe Academy does not do illegal things. After surveying the topography and landforms of the towns and villages in the northwest, these students will soon enter the prairie.

They still want to enter the grassland? Are they not afraid of danger? Even without Beirong Xiliang, the grassland is still full of dangers. Wolves are infested, and without army guards, scholars will have difficulty walking.

Of course there will be military guards! The Metropolitan Government will send troops to protect the safety of the students.

Why do you want to enter the grassland?

Of course it's to take up space!

Gu Ting was stunned.
