Chapter 222 Difficulties between advance and retreat
Baili Haoxuan sat in front of the bed and accompanied her all night until dawn when he had to go to court.
Before leaving, he placed his hand on her forehead. Her fever was still high, so he told the palace maids to take good care of her and then he left.
Yun Jingman was still in a coma, and the nightmare kept torturing her. Her whole body was like ice and fire, and her mind and body kept torturing her. She wanted to resist but couldn't...
The military situation at the border was critical. It was said that Beitang Yuan had made a comeback and had joined forces with Shangmo Dan to attack Xuanhuang Dynasty. There were no great generals in the court, which worried Baili Haoxuan.
Baili Haoxuan was so immersed in discussing political affairs that he temporarily forgot about Yun Jingman who was sick in bed.
(Shengling Palace)
The maids kept soaking the handkerchiefs with cold water and applying them to Yun Jingman's forehead to reduce her fever. However, they found that it was of no use at all, and Yun Jingman's forehead was still burning hot. The maids had no other choice but to keep applying the cold handkerchiefs to her, hoping that it would be of some use.
The palace maid tried hard to feed Yun Jingman the medicine juice prepared by the Imperial Hospital, but it could not enter Yun Jingman's mouth at all. Yun Jingman's lips were tightly closed, and every spoonful of medicine juice flowed down the corners of Yun Jingman's lips. The palace maid was anxious and at a loss. How could she negotiate if she couldn't even feed the medicine?
If the emperor knew about this, they would not know how they died.
Yun Jingman also muttered to himself all day long...
For a whole day, the maids still couldn't feed the medicine into Yun Jingman's mouth, let alone the meal. Thinking something was wrong, they had to report to the emperor, but they were stopped at the door by the guards and could not enter.
Baili Haoxuan also discussed military affairs with the court officials in the Council Hall for a whole day, and was ready to continue. The palace maid was in a dilemma and had no choice but to wait in front of the Council Hall, hoping that the emperor would come out and tell her about the illness of the concubine.
The autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves, making the night cool and chilly.
A graceful figure in white quickly turned and entered Shengling Palace. With a flick of his finger, he knocked down all the palace maids in Shengling Palace one by one.
With a wave of his hand, he quickly turned off the lights in the bedroom.
He walked quickly to the bed and looked at Yun Jingman, who was trembling on the bed, with cold sweat on his forehead, mumbling constantly, and his face as pale as paper. His heart felt an uncontrollable pain again.
He raised his hand, pinched Yun Jingman's wrist, and began to take his pulse carefully.
Gu Yue frowned, looking unhappy. She was afraid that the fever was caused by Zi Dan's toxin. This was not an ordinary fever. Zi Dan was really coming...
He really couldn't delay any longer, otherwise it would cost her life. He had to agree to what the Palace Master said and get the antidote for Zidan for her.
"Yan'er... hold on a little longer, I will help you get the antidote. Believe me, hold on." Gu Yue whispered softly, encouraging Yun Jingman. His raised hand never fell down. After all, he was not qualified to touch her, and she blamed him for all the neutron pills.
If he hadn't been tempted, the Palace Master wouldn't have noticed her, and she wouldn't have been entangled by Zi Dan's poison. It was all his fault...
"I'm sorry, Yan'er..." Once again, his sorry did not reach her ears or her heart.
Silent apologies are always meaningless.
Gu Yue took out a pill, pinched Yun Jingman's lips open, put the pill into her mouth, used his internal force to force the pill down, and asked her to swallow it.
The movements are done in one go, smoothly and coherently.
Looking at her chapped lips, he walked over, poured a glass of water, and slowly poured it into her mouth. Although the water still flowed down the corners of her mouth, it more or less poured in...
"Yan'er, hold on..." It was not advisable to stay here for long. Gu Yue did everything, turned around and disappeared into the night sky.
After Yun Jingman took Gu Yue's medicine, his fever finally subsided, he stopped having cold sweats, and he stopped having nightmares and talking in his sleep. He fell asleep peacefully.
The palace maid who was gently knocked down by Gu Yue also woke up faintly, as if she had just had a dream. The palace maid thought she had fallen asleep, so she got up quickly and turned on all the lights. The dark bedroom was once again brightly lit.
The palace maid who was waiting for Baili Haoxuan in the Council Hall waited for a whole night but did not see Baili Haoxuan come out. She had no choice but to return to Shengling Palace to check on Concubine Qing's condition.
When the palace maid hurried back to Shengling Palace and felt Yun Jingman's forehead, she found that her fever had subsided and she was no longer sweating. She was so excited that she felt that God had saved their lives.
He went again and ordered the Imperial Hospital to boil the medicine and send it back.
Day after day, three days passed, and Yun Jingman, who had been comatose for three days, finally woke up.
I slowly opened my heavy eyelids, and saw a vast expanse of white in front of me, hazy, blurry, and unclear.
"Water...water...water..." A dry and hoarse voice spoke faintly.
The palace maid who was serving nearby heard Yun Jingman's voice and saw her open her eyes. She was overjoyed and ran to pour water.
The palace maid An helped Yun Jingman up and fed her water. Yun Jingman drank cup after cup before she felt it was enough.
My heavy and tired body fell asleep again, but I still felt very tired and fell asleep again...
The military situation was getting more urgent, and Baili Haoxuan and Yan Zinuo hadn't slept for three days, constantly studying the military situation. However, the intelligence that came in every day was that the city was captured by the Beitang Army and the Modan Army together.
The Xuanhuang army was simply unable to withstand the aggressive Beitang army.
This Beitang Army was not as good as the previous Beitang Army, although the previous Beitang Army was also a well-trained army. However, the cavalry trained by Baili Haoxuan himself was enough to compete.
However, the combat effectiveness of the current Beitang Army is even better than that of the cavalry trained by Baili Haoxuan himself. One is equal to a hundred, or even a thousand.
Baili Haoxuan was confident in the Iron Cavalry he had trained himself, and this army had once achieved the great feat of flattening and annihilating the Cangming Kingdom in one night. Looking around the world, few armies could resist his Iron Cavalry.
But now, the Beitang Army easily killed his Iron Cavalry. Rather than being a regular army, their fighting style was more like that of assassins...
If this is really an army of killers, then defeat is certain.
Even the most well-trained army can resist a team of killers?
But how could Beitang Yuan, a general who had served in the army for many years, have an army of assassins? Everything here was really too weird.
"Baili..." Yan Zinuo called out to Baili Haoxuan who was in deep thought.
"Yeah." Baili Haoxuan was thinking about Beitang Army.
"Baili, what do you want to do?" They had not slept for three days and three nights, thinking hard about countermeasures. They all knew that the Beitang Army was too powerful and was not an ordinary army.
"I want to lead the troops into battle myself." Baili Haoxuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Lead the army in person? No, it's too dangerous." Yan Zinuo immediately rejected Baili Haoxuan's suggestion.
"Why not? This is not the first time I lead the army in person." Baili Haoxuan sneered.
"This is a different time. We haven't figured out the enemy's details yet. It's extremely dangerous for Baili to go out rashly. Let's not talk about whether they have set up an ambush, just say that they have a strong military force now, Baili can't take risks easily." Yan Zinuo analyzed it logically. They are in the open, the enemy is in the dark, the situation is not optimistic, and they are in a passive position.
"Then, does Zinuo have a better idea?" Baili Haoxuan asked coldly.
"Not yet." Yan Zinuo said honestly.
"Then let me lead the army in person. Let me meet this army." His blue eyes emitted a cold light, with a hint of bloodthirsty murderous intent.
"Baili, what if this is a trap? It's meant to lure you in, what should we do then?" This was Yan Zinuo's only worry.
Baili Haoxuan fell into deep thought. The Council Hall once again fell into silence.
Being led by someone really made Baili Haoxuan feel humiliated. He just wanted to go to the battlefield and kill those who deserved to die. However, he could not forget that he was the ruler of a country, with the people on his body and the Xuanhuang Dynasty on his back. As Yan Zinuo said, he could not take risks.
It is difficult to advance; it is also difficult to retreat.
