Chapter 510 Testing
Xiao Chiye frowned, knowing what she meant.
People in the military camp, especially the generals, have countless scars of varying sizes on their bodies. As they get older, changes in the weather can cause more pain.
He had seen Yu Gaoyi unable to sleep all night because of his knee injury. In this season, he had to wear thick knee pads to feel more comfortable.
If he used this, perhaps the hidden danger in his body would disappear, but this elixir was too powerful.
He trusted these people, but was also afraid of putting Xia Wanniang and the child in danger.
"Wanwan, do you still have the poisonous insects you gave them before?"
Xia Wanniang looked at him in surprise: "You want to give it to them?"
Xiao Chiye: "Their loyalty is beyond doubt, but I will not let danger get too close to you."
Xia Wanniang didn't say anything, but placed a small medicine bottle in front of him: "Husband, have you made up your mind?"
Xiao Chiye nodded: "It's their choice whether to eat or not, isn't it?"
Xia Wanniang didn't say anything else. She pushed the extra medicine bottle in front of him and asked him to put it away.
Before she gave the medicine to Qiu He and Chai Song, she would also let them eat the poisonous insects, not for any other reason but simply because she had too many secrets.
The next morning, Xiao Chiye returned to the Northwest Military Camp.
Princess Ling'an had nothing to do so she ran to find Xia Wanniang: "Sister, I'm here to see you."
Xia Wanniang was checking the homework of several children. Although Qingfeng said that there was very little she could teach them now, she still decided to teach them what she knew.
For example, abacus, pharmacology, English, etc.
"How come Ling'an has time to come here?"
Princess Ling'an sat next to her and saw her checking her child's homework. She picked it up curiously and looked at it, but found that she couldn't understand it: "What are these?"
As Xia Wanniang checked, she said, "The homework of several children."
Princess Ling'an: "What kind of homework is this? Why is it so strange?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and looked at the paper in her hand: "This is English."
Princess Ling'an felt that her brain was a little confused. Why could she understand the words she said separately, but not when they were put together?
Xia Wanniang didn't intend to explain: "Master Xu didn't come with you?"
"He went to the yamen and said that people from outside the Great Wall wanted to do business with us." After Princess Ling'an finished speaking, she looked at Xia Wanniang.
Xia Wanniang seemed not to notice her gaze and just said calmly, "Good news."
"Sister, aren't you curious about what kind of business they want to do?" Princess Ling'an asked tentatively.
Xia Wanniang put down the paper in her hand and turned to look at Princess Ling'an: "You don't need to test me here. No one from the palace is really pure and kind. Why don't you just tell us your purpose and we can be honest with each other. Maybe we can have a more pleasant conversation."
Princess Ling'an put away her innocence and said, "The Princess Zhenguo is indeed extraordinary. When you were in the palace, only the Imperial Censor described you, but your uncle's attitude explains everything."
Xia Wanniang put her hand under the table, seemingly stroking her belly, but in fact she was protecting her child at all times to prevent him from being harmed by Princess Ling'an.
Princess Ling'an tilted her head and looked at Xia Wanniang: "My uncle went out for a while one year. He said he was going to Luocheng to check out the high-yield grain. After he came back, his temperament changed drastically. Even my transparent eleventh brother started to appear around him."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Wanniang and said, "I remember that Princess Zhenguo and General Xiao were also in Luocheng during that time!"
Xia Wanniang's expression did not show any sign of fluctuation: "And then?"
Princess Ling'an's eyes were slightly cold: "Whose people are you? Who are you standing behind?"
Xia Wanniang touched it and turned to look at her: "Does this have anything to do with Princess Ling'an?"
Princess Ling'an: "Yes, because of you, all my plans have failed."
Xia Wanniang looked at the ferocious-looking Princess Ling'an and sighed softly: "Master Xu! Why did you choose such a princess when you could have chosen someone else?"
"Then let me guess the princess's plan! You lost your parents when you were a child and entered the palace. Although the emperor dotes on you, the princesses and concubines in the harem can't bear to see you have a good life."
"They started to assault you in places where the emperor couldn't see them. You went to the emperor crying. But unfortunately, you have no evidence because they used cruel methods. If you want to prove it, you can't just roll up your sleeves and prove it."
