Princess Medical Doctor - Chapter 672.1

Chapter 672: Deadman, fortunate that he can marry her (Part 1)

Inside the tent, Lin Chujiu lay motionless on the cold ground.

The sun gradually moved westward, and soon Lin Chujiu was shrouded in darkness, but still, no one noticed.

Inside the stone prison, Xuanyuan Zhi was still rolling on the ground in pain. The iron chains were pulled and made a rustling sound from time to time. Imperial Doctor Zhu asked the guards to come in and hold people down, then he gave Xuanyuan Zhi an injection to fully execute Xiao Tianyao’s order. As long as Xuanyuan Zhi didn’t die, it would be fine.

Outside the camp, the black-armored guards were still standing there. Even after standing there for a whole day and a night, they were still standing upright. There was no trace of tiredness on their faces, and they were ready to fight at any time.

In the camp, the eastern’s soldiers fulfilled their duties and dutifully patrolled back and forth. Everyone was holding their spears, with sharp eyes, like a beast king patrolling the territory of beasts.

In the capital, the emperor was discussing matters with his confidants in the imperial study room. He repeatedly confirmed that the border war was over, but Xiao Tianyao didn’t return to the capital. Instead, he confronted Xuanyuan Zhi. The emperor was very angry. Remembering that Xiao Tianyao didn’t reply for a long time, the emperor even became angrier. His headache suddenly recurred.

Imperial Doctor Qin rushed into the palace. After diagnosing and rendering treatment, the emperor’s condition improved. Imperial Doctor Qin persuaded the emperor to calm down and recuperate, and not to worry about worldly affairs. However, the situation at the border was like that, so how can he feel at ease?

When his health got a little better, the emperor summoned Lin Xiang to the palace to discuss official matters. Lin Xiang knew the emperor’s heart well. The emperor doesn’t need to give him an order.

As soon as the imperial decree was written, a messenger took it out from the imperial study room and rushed all the way to the border.

However, less than two hours after the previous imperial decree was sent out, the emperor added another imperial decree to let Xiao Tianyao rush back to the capital as quickly as possible.

Two imperial decrees in a row were issued on the same day, but this was not the end, it was just the beginning… …

At the border, Xiao Tianyao didn’t know that the emperor had issued two imperial decrees in a row, asking him to come back. He was looking at the map of the border and the terrain near the black iron ore mine. He wanted to use the geographical advantage to grab the black iron ores in the hands of the eldest prince, but… …

Xiao Tianyao, who has always been one-sided and only has the desire to handle official business day and night, couldn’t concentrate at this time. As soon as he saw the map, Lin Chujiu’s teary eyes flashed automatically in his mind. And as soon as he saw the terrain of the black iron ore mine, Lin Chujiu’s accusation ring in his ears: “Wangye, I am not Liu Bai, who has strong martial art skills, or Su Cha, who is good at business, nor Mo Qingfeng, who is shrewd and capable. I am just a woman, a woman who doesn’t know martial arts and doesn’t even have the ability to protect herself. Like other women, I couldn’t be more ordinary.”

“Perhaps, benwang is too harsh on her.” Xiao Tianyao put down the map and rubbed his eyebrows.

Even if his original intention was to believe in Lin Chujiu, it was indeed too much to throw all his responsibilities to Lin Chujiu.

Without him, the soldiers in the army would have no power to fight back against Xuanyuan Zhi and the black-armored guards. If it wasn’t for Lin Chujiu’s cleverness to turn the tide and stop Xuanyuan Zhi with a plan, the army would have suffered heavy losses.

He couldn’t think of a good way to deal with the black iron ore mine, but he threw it to Lin Chujiu willfully.
