The Vice General Li Chang and the General Shen soldiers split up and chased after the enemy troops. He brought a pair of them and shuttled through the forest, but not a single person could be seen.
Li Chang raised his head to look at the sky. At this time, he did not know what hour the scorching sun was at, and he and the general had separated for a very long time.
Startled by his own thoughts, Li Chang looked at his comrades who were still looking around, gathering all of them together.
"Brothers, we have searched here for a long time, but we have not seen any enemy troops, even the general has not heard anything." Brothers, we have searched here for a long time, we have not even seen the enemy,
"Vice General, your subordinate is willing to accompany you."
"Vice General, your subordinate is willing as well."
"Vice General, your subordinate is willing to join as well."
Everyone answered Li Chang at once, one after another. They moved him, and when he saw these soldiers that risked their lives bow to him, a thousand words could not even be compared to this action to express the gratitude in Li Chang's heart.
Just as Li Chang was about to continue raising his morale to look for the General Shen, a soldier suddenly ran from afar and ran to his side.
"Reporting, General, General Shen has already returned to the barracks, but …"
That person stammered and looked flustered, but it was enough to make him flustered and he started to curse.
"You f * cker, just say it. You talk like a woman, it's normal for people to get worried."
The soldier did not dare to speak, and his eyes did not dare look straight into vice general Li Chang's eyes. Subconsciously, he lowered his head, and his voice was also extremely low and deep.
Just that, it's just that General Shen only brought three people back, and all of them were heavily injured. Just as we were about to return to the barracks, General Shen was unconscious, so before he fainted, he ordered his subordinate to look for you. "
When Li Chang heard that the General Shen was unconscious and unconscious, his heart immediately burned with anxiety. He wished that he could grow a pair of wings on his back and fly back to the army camp immediately. However, he still had a group of soldiers pointing at him. After calming himself down, he brought the people back the same way they came, all the soldiers along the way were immersed in the General Shen's coma, looking dejected.
Returning back to the army camp and rushing straight back to the general's tent, Li Chang looked at the unconscious General Shen, and became speechless from anxiety.
"Army …" Military doctors, General Shen, how is General Shen doing, when is he in danger, when will he wake up? "
Li Chang was extremely anxious in his heart. Seeing the Military Doctor's sluggish appearance, he was even more anxious. Walking around the Military Doctor made him dizzy, and he almost vomited on the spot.
"Aiya. I said, Vice General Li, please don't go. You left me in a daze. "
Li Chang sighed, he stopped moving, and could only rely on rubbing his hands to ease his worry.
He, Li Chang, knew that he was just a barbarian. Dispatching troops into formations was not enough, if General Shen were to fall right now, wouldn't it be a mess? How could he not be anxious?
Seeing that he finally stopped walking, the Military Doctor heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and looked at Li Chang, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Fortunately, General Shen is not in danger, General Li can rest assured."
The news quickly reached the imperial harem.
"Mother …" "Empress!" The young maid, Xiao Man, hurriedly ran in. He almost tripped on the doorsill and fell to the ground.
Shen Qingwan unhappily looked at her panting appearance. This maidservant had just arrived a few days ago, but she usually did things in a stable manner. She had never seen such a flustered and out of control before. She frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
"Will... "Phew …" Xiao Man ran too fast. Now that she was in front of Shen Qingwan to report the news she had just heard, she choked on her anxiousness and was unable to catch her breath.
As a personal servant, Lian Yun had been waiting by Shen Qingwan's side the entire time. After seeing Xiao Man act this way, his expression did not change a bit, and only poured out the tea in his hands and handed it over to Shen Qingwan. He then leisurely walked over and patted on Xiao Man's back to ease her mood, "Calm down, why don't you say it properly, don't miss the matter of the Empress."
"Empress," Xiao Man calmed down, pinched her uncomfortable throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "There was a news at the border saying that General Shen has been heavily injured there, and has been unconscious for a long time."
Shen Qingwan lowered her head to taste the good tea that the emperor had bestowed upon her. The news was like thunder in a clear sky. Her hand slipped and the teacup fell from her hand. The temperature wasn't low, so she didn't feel hot on her hand.
She asked in disbelief, "What did you say?!"
"Empress …" Xiao Man was frightened, and didn't dare to repeat it.
Shen Qingwan did not ask any further. It's not that she didn't understand, it's just that she didn't want to understand. She closed her eyes and forced herself to accept the news calmly. Her father had fallen and was still waiting for her.
She slowly stood up. Although her face was not as calm as it usually was, she was still able to stop her trembling. She used her voice to be as calm as possible and asked, "Did anyone tell me the details of the message?"
"To reply Empress, the messenger was a trusted aide of General Shen. He said that there was a spy in the army who had set General Shen up in a trap, and then along the way, he had been shot by a hidden arrow, and the arrow had been poisoned. Xiao Man did not dare to delay any longer, and quickly picked up the main point to speak to Shen Qingwan.
"This won't do, now that father is unconscious, how can I be at ease? Lian Yun, get ready. " Shen Qingwan did not care about being sad, she was worried about her father's injuries, she had to do something for him as soon as possible.
"Empress, the trusted aides of the General Shen will also be reported to the emperor. The emperor will deal with them. I'm afraid that if you rush over like this, it will displease the Emperor. " Lian Yun said worriedly.
"However, how can I be at ease with my father's current state? Lian Yun, you don't need to persuade me anymore. " Shen Qingwan's eyes were filled with grief. How could she not understand that her going would make Fu Yuheng unhappy? But that was her father, how could she not care about him?
"This servant understands. I will prepare the clothes now." Lian Yun did not speak anymore, and helped Shen Qingwan pack up properly.
Arriving at the entrance of the imperial study, Shen Qing Wan's heart was filled with anxiety, seeing Sun Ning, she anxiously said that she wanted to see the emperor, the anxiousness in her eyes made Sun Ning surprised, when had he ever seen her like this? Even when it was about the Second Princess, she was only indifferent, but the Emperor said that she wouldn't meet anyone … This...
As he was thinking, he saw Shen Qingwan kneel down and straighten her body. This made her heart ache. Sun Ning waited for an hour, and seeing that she was not listening, he compromised and went to the royal study to pass on the message.
At this moment, Fu Yuheng was sitting in his study room with a pair of sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. His heart was somewhat worried about what had happened this time around.
