She chopped up the egg and mixed it with sauce.
This level of attentive service was the first he’d ever received; so he just grinned happily as he ate, not saying a word.
Such treatment wasn’t commonplace.
He wasn’t sure when she’d serve him like this next, so he had to cherish it.
Breakfast took nearly half an hour.
After they finished, Nangong Yi stood up, looking quite satisfied.
“Madam, I am leaving for the battlefield.
Do you have any words for me?”
Cai Wei said, “Take care and look after yourself, I’ll be waiting for you to come back.”
As she spoke, she handed over a small bundle she had prepared.
“Here are a few bottles of hemostatic meds, trauma medicine and a few more for bruises and injuries.
They’re far better than what the army doctors prescribe.
Use them sparingly.
There are also some flower teas.
I thought though tea might keep you alert, it’d prevent you from sleeping at night.
So I prepared these teas for you, keep them for your use.”
Nangong Yi took the small bundle, hugged her and snuggled his face into her neck, whispering, “Thank you, Madam.
Stay here and wait for my good news.”
Cai Wei nodded, thought for a moment, and said, “Don’t forget your promise to me.
Do not massacre the city.
Try to force Tuoba Kui to surrender.”
The man agreed.
He held her again for a while and then set off with his troops.
Several hundred soldiers remained in the camp.
They were wounded and sick soldiers from the previous battle.
Since they could not march or fight, they were left behind and managed by a Chief Guard named Liu Mingfeng.
Cai Wei had no intention of staying obediently here.
Although she promised not to go to Tuoba Kui, it was only to reassure him.
In reality, she had already decided to meet him for a discussion.
After the man left, Cai Wei went into the space, practised inner strength method for an hour.
Only when she was drenched in sweat did she stop, straight off to the hot spring for a bath and was contacting Brother Parrot in the meantime to inquire about the situation.
Brother Parrot complained, “Master, Jin Guifei is still sick.
Yao Yuanpan said she was severely affected by anger and needs to rest for a while before she can move.”
Cai Wei thought for a moment and said, “In that case, please go to Ying Tianfu for a look and check on Big Brother Huo’s situation.
See if he has suffered anything.
If so, report it to me quickly.”
“Yes, Master!”
Parrot called out twice, flapped its wings and flew out of the Silk Palace.
At this time, a ridiculous scene was taking place in the large cell at Ying Tianfu.
The Prefect of Ying Tianfu, Zhao Hongwang, personally brought a hearty breakfast to Huo Yuan in the prison, and even graciously served him porridge and dishes.
Since learning yesterday that the prince had become disabled, Master Zhao had been breaking out in cold sweats, feeling scared.
Now that the prince had become disabled, the Emperor would certainly not set up a disabled person as the Crown Prince, so the prince’s political career was effectively over.
As for King Qin, the son of the Empress, he believed that given Jin Guifei’s means, King Qin would certainly be defeated in Lingbei, and it’s hard to say whether he would even make it back alive.
Additionally, with the Empress out of favor and Princess Zhao Yang having lost face for the royal family, King Qin would not be able to be the next Crown Prince.
The remaining King Jin was of low birth, fat and cowardly, as stupid as a pig, the Emperor would never consider him as heir to the throne; King Chu, because of his crime of witchcraft, had been taken off the royal status and sentenced to the large prison, and would never be able to turn over a new leaf for the rest of his life; the remaining princes were all too young.
Only King Jing, with the highest birthright, his mother was Virtuous Consort, and King Jing himself was the most valued by the Emperor, and was the most likely to become the next Crown Prince.
And once King Jing became the Crown Prince, Huo Yuan would become the uncle of the Prince, and the younger brother of the Empress Dowager.
