Chapter 302 Departure
Wenzhu picked up the basin on the ground and cleaned up the water.
At this time, Lu Heng came in with Prince An and others.
When Wang Jingshan saw Prince An, he wanted to struggle down to pay his respects.
"Prince"
Prince An said, "Wang Jingshan, you'd better not come down in this state."
Wang Jingshan looked at Lu Heng and said, "What happened to you just now? Why did you run away? Am I that scary?"
Lu Heng said: "I was shocked when I saw you woke up, and then I wanted to tell the prince and others the news.
Jin Yuyao couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Prince An said, "Today is all good news. It just so happens that you woke up today, and the imperial edict has arrived."
After he finished speaking, Prince An ordered Lu Heng: "Go and help the deputy general down."
As he was speaking, the eunuch came to deliver the imperial decree.
Everyone knelt down.
Then the eunuch looked at the crowd and began to read the imperial edict: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares that Wang Jingshan has been invincible in battle, having killed the enemy general Xiao Ting and recaptured their city. I am deeply pleased and hereby appoint Wang Jingshan as the mighty general and grant him a general's residence. I order him to return to the capital immediately. I decree this."
After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "General Wang, please accept my order and express your gratitude."
Wang Jingshan took the imperial edict and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."
Jin Yuyao gave Wenzhu a wink.
Wenzhu understood and stepped forward to give him some silver, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. Take this as a token of your appreciation and drink your tea."
The eunuch looked at Jin Yuyao and said, "Who is this?"
Prince An said, "She is General Wang's wife."
The eunuch smiled and said, "It's clear from the first glance that the general's wife is no ordinary person. General Wang has a promising future."
Prince An said, "Someone take the eunuch down to rest first."
Lu Heng helped Wang Jingshan to the bed. Wang Jingshan was sweating all over after the previous ordeal.
Wang Jingshan said, "Your Majesty, I killed Chen Wenbin, so why didn't the Emperor blame me?"
Prince An sat at the table and said, "I explained the whole story clearly when I submitted the memorial, but you must be careful when you get to the capital. The Chen family will definitely not let this go."
Wang Jingshan said, "I'm not afraid. Chen Wenbin wanted to kill me and I just fought back. I'm lucky, otherwise I would be dead now."
An Wo said with some concern, "If we leave now, your body won't be able to handle it. It looks like we'll have to delay for a few days."
Wang Jingshan said at this time: "I'm fine, I can do it."
Jin Yuyao said, "You're definitely not fit to travel long distances in your current state. If the poison doesn't kill you, the bumpy ride will surely kill you. So, can we wait a few days before setting off?"
Prince An said, "I have to ask my eunuch if I can delay my departure for a few days. We'll make a decision then."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
She asked the kitchen to cook some porridge and then brought it to Wang Jingshan.
Wang Jingshan looked at the porridge and said, "Is it just porridge and nothing else? I can't swallow it."
Jin Yuyao said, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Wang Jingshan chuckled and said, "I want to eat meat."
Jin Yuyao said, "That's definitely not possible. You should eat something liquid first, otherwise your stomach won't be able to handle it. You can slowly add more later."
Although Wang Jingshan didn't want to see Jin Yuyao serious, he still took the bowl and finished the porridge.
Jin Yuyao said, "Then you can take care of it like this for a few days. After you recover a little, I will find a way to help you remove the remaining poison."
Wang Jingshan nodded.
Jin Yuyao wanted to go out, but Wang Jingshan grabbed her arm and said, "Can you stay here with me?"
She turned around and looked at him and said, "I still have to develop an antidote for you. You should rest well in the next few days and get well. You might have to leave for the capital one day."
Wang Jingshan had no choice but to shut up reluctantly.
Jin Yuyao walked to the door and said, "I'll ask Lu Heng to come over and keep you company. Just tell him if you need anything."
After saying that, he walked into his room.
Jin Yuyao also instructed Lu Heng to watch over Wang Jingshan and slowly let him walk over the next few days.
In the evening, when Jin Yuyao was feeding Wang Jingshan medicine, Prince An came in with Zhan Feng.
Jin Yuyao stood up and saluted.
Prince An said, "Doctor Jin, there is no need to be so polite."
Wang Jingshan finished drinking the medicine.
Jin Yuyao played with it and put it on the table next to her.
Prince An said, "I have already asked Eunuch Wei today. We must set off by the end of the month at the latest. After all, if we are delayed on the road, we will arrive in the capital in February."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
I'll take care of his health these days and we'll try not to delay the journey."
Prince An said: "When we leave and arrive in Lanshan County, wait for two days for Doctor Jin to go back and pack up, take the children with him, and then go to Beijing with us."
Jin Yuyao didn't say anything.
Wang Jingshan said anxiously, "Yuyao, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to go to Beijing? Don't you want our family to be together?"
Jin Yuyao said, "I'm worried what if we can't adapt to the capital?"
Prince An said, "Doctor Jin, you worry too much. Now that you are members of the General's Mansion, who dares to say anything? The children can receive a better education in the capital. It will be better for you and the children. Doctor Jin, people like you cannot be buried in this small place."
Jin Yuyao said: "The capital city is indeed not comparable to Lanshan County."
After Prince An left.
Jin Yuyao called Wenzhu over and said, "Wenzhu, I'll have to trouble you to go to Lanshan County and tell my brother and sister-in-law to pack up. We will leave for the capital the next day."
Wen Zhu nodded: "Then I won't come back. I will wait for you at home."
Jin Yuyao nodded.
Jin Yuyao has strengthened Wang Jingshan's nutrition in the past few days, and the poison has been controlled.
Although his body looked better, he was still very weak. He couldn't detoxify now and could only wait until his body could withstand it.
On the day of departure, Prince An handed over all the affairs here to Zhao Hu.
Before leaving, Jin Yuyao thought of Zhang Xiaoshu.
She walked up to Zhao Hu and said, "Has there been a man named Zhang Xiaoshu in the army recently? It's enough to see him come to the barracks. There's no need for special treatment."
Zhao Hu nodded and said, "I understand, ma'am."
After saying this, he got on the carriage.
The group headed towards Lanshan County.
Jin Yuyao got on the carriage.
Wang Jingshan said weakly: "Yuyao, I have no strength today. Can you pour me a glass of water?"
When Jin Yuyao heard her say this, he thought his poison had relapsed.
Then he anxiously took his pulse.
Wang Jingshan pulled his hand back and said, "I'm fine, I just don't have the strength."
Jin Yuyao took the kettle, poured water and handed it to him.
He just didn't answer.
Jin Yuyao was helpless because the other person was a patient now.
Wang Jingshan started drinking only after Jin Yuyao brought the wine to his lips.
It was very cold along the way. Jin Yuyao had nothing to do in the carriage. She watched Wang Jingshan fall asleep and she closed her eyes too.
So they leaned against each other and fell asleep.
Her steady breathing could be heard.
Only then did Wang Jingshan open his eyes and quietly look at Jin Yuyao's sleeping face.
