THE REVENGE OF FOX CONSORT
CHAPTERS 101. Back to the capital
Wei Bu Yi stopped his horse just in front of his army camp. Wei Bu Yi leaped down from above the horse's back first before reaching out to help Ying Ying get off the same horse.
The arrival of Wei Bu Yi and Ying Ying was greeted by General Li Jin, Li Ming, Eunuch Da Duo, and Eunuch Xiao Duo.
Ying Ying approached General Li Jin and Li Ming. "Dad! Brother Li Ming!"
"Chang Le!"
General Li Jin stared intensely at Ying Ying from head to toe. The feeling of his heart was relieved after making sure Ying Ying was not injured due to the kidnapping by Prince Tang Jin's entourage.
General Li Jin strongly supported Wei Bu Yi's desire to bring Ying Ying with him to Chang An City from the capital. General Li Jin did not want Ying Ying to suffer the same fate as Feng Xi.
Feng Xi's death made General Li Jin and Li Ming grieve, but they had to be steadfast from being on the battlefield.
Generals Li Jin and Li Ming were confident the war with the Western Wu Kingdom would end quickly so that they could all go home and visit Feng Xi's grave later.
As General Li Jin and Li Ming chatted with Ying Ying about the kidnapping done by Prince Tang Jin, Wei Bu Yi called Eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo, then it pointed towards the horse carriage that was coming with it to Chang An city.
Eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo immediately approached Tan Xiang who was standing beside the horse carriage. From the very beginning of leaving, Tan Xiang sat beside the horse coachman.
"Miss Tan Xiang!" eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo together.
"Eunuch Da Duo! Eunuch Xiao Duo! All of Wang Fei's equipment was inside the horse carriage!" tan Xiang said.
"We've prepared a new tent to store all of Wang Fei's equipment. I will show you the way," said Eunuch Da Duo.
The horseman immediately moved the horse carriage following Kasim Da Duo's guide, while Eunuch Xiao Duo and Tan Xiang walked on foot following from behind.
Moments later, the horse carriage stopped in front of a tent. Around the tent was very quiet. The horseman immediately opened the door of the horse carriage and went inside with Eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo, while Tan Xiang stood guard outside.
On one side the inside of the horse carriage was composed of several large boxes containing Ying Ying's equipment in the form of clothes, blankets, and others. However, the attention of the two belief eunuchs was focused on the other side.
Eunuch Da Duo and Eunuch Xiao Duo stared at the figure of the body of the man lying there. That man was Eunuch Ma. The legs, arms, neck, and head of Eunuch Ma are wrapped in thick bandages and leave only the eyes that look tightly closed without any sign of life there.
"Run Yu's! How is Eunuch Ma?" ask Kasim Da Duo.
It turned out that the horseman was Run Yu, one of the secret warriors that Wei Bu Yi had assigned to guard and protect Ying Ying.
This time Run Yu came to Chang An City. In addition to Ying Ying going to Chang An City with Wei Bu Yi, also because Wei Bu Yi gave a new task for Run Yu to guard Eunuch Ma.
Run Yu answered Eunuch Da Duo's question. "Wang Fei had already used all of his concoction medicine to treat Eunuch Ma's burns. For a while Eunuch Ma's life could be helped, but Eunuch Ma had not yet regained consciousness and was still in a critical state."
The burns on Eunuch Ma's body were so severe that it required a long period of recovery. Ying Ying could not confirm whether Eunuch Ma could still survive in the next few days if her burns were a sudden infection.
Wei Bu Yi and Ying Ying decided to bring Eunuch Ma to Chang An City in order to get incentive treatment from Physician Chen, who was also there.
"I'll bring Physician Chen here!" eunuch Xiao Duo.
Eunuch Da Duo and Run Yu brought Eunuch Ma into the pre-prepared tent. Then the two of them and Tan Xiang moved all the boxes containing Ying Ying's equipment into the same tent.
A while later, Physician Chen walked into the tent with Eunuch Xiao Duo. Physician Chen checked the state of Eunuch Ma. The burns on Eunuch Ma's body were so severe that the results of Physician Chen's examination were the same as the results of Ying's examination.
"Tabib Chen! Prince Wei Bu Yi gave a message so that Physician Chen would not have to be discouraged if he could not cure Eunuch Ma later," Run Yu said.
"I will try to treat it well. His recovery also depended on his own desire to live or not!" said Physician Chen.
Eunuch Da Duo, Eunuch Xiao Dup, and Run Yu nodded their heads together in a sign of understanding.
From that day on, Physician Chen performed incentivized treatment towards Eunuch Ma. Run Yu is assigned to guard and supervise the tent so that no one else knows where Eunuch Ma is there.
Every day Tan Xiang would come to the tent to pick up Ying Ying's supplies. After that Tan Xiang would tell Ying Ying the results of the report from Run Yu regarding Eunuch Ma's development every day.
Originally General Li Jin was worried about Ying Ying's safety. General Li Jin's worry disappeared instantly when he saw Ying Ying's sword wound the enemy soldier easily.
Wei Bu Yi was always on Ying Ying's side during the fight so General Li Jin was focused on fighting the approaching enemy soldiers.
Three days later, Wei Bu Yi's entourage returned to the capital with a great victory.
The Emperor of Western Wu Kingdom acknowledged their defeat and promised not to disturb Chang An City anymore. Plus the communication with Queen Wen was cut off so Emperor Wu did not want to take the risk.
Thousands of Western Wu Kingdom soldiers died on the battlefield, surpassing the death toll of its soldiers seven years ago.
This huge blow would make the Western Wu Kingdom not dare to look for trouble with the Northern Wei Kingdom in the next ten years.
***
Emperor Wei welcomed the return of Wei Bu Yi's entourage and General Li Jin with great joy. Queen Wen, Consort Ming Lan, and Wei Wu Xian joined in welcoming their return.
Ying Ying was stunned to see the great change of Queen Wen and Wei Wu Xian.
Queen Wen was wearing very simple clothes and natural makeup so that it showed clear wrinkles there.
The haughty attitude that had been attached to Queen Wen was gone without a trace. Queen Wen got along very well with Consort Ming Lan, even impressing Queen Wen trying to take Consort Ming Lan's heart.
Wei Wu Xian was quiet. There was no longer a smoldering look in his eyes like every time he looked at Ying Ying's face, but rather Wei Wu Xian felt inferior to look at Ying Ying.
This time Emperor Wei did not hold a dinner in the palace. Emperor Wei knew Wei Bu Yi would rather return to the residence with Chang Le aka Ying Ying than attend the victory celebration in the palace.
Moreover, the incentive treatment that Physician Chen had done towards Wei Bu Yi was still running. Emperor Wei was eager for Wei Bu Yi to make a full recovery before his birthday celebration in the near future.
Emperor Wei had already decided to announce the position of crown prince Wei Wu Xian was taken over by Wei Bu Yi at his birthday celebration.
For these few days Emperor Wei had been thinking carefully and was convinced the most appropriate successor to the throne was Wei Bu Yi.
Wei Bu Yi's recovery made it impossible for other officials to reject Emperor Wei's decision.
Emperor Wei had already conveyed the intent of his heart to Queen Wen. Queen Wen responded calmly and praised Emperor Wei's decision as appropriate.
Queen Wen admitted that she did not educate Wei Wu Xian so well that Wei Wu Xian grew up to be a spoiled child and always relied on the help of Queen Wen.
Queen Wen only asked Emperor Wei to grant one request from her: grant the title Xian Wang to Wei Wu Xian.
Every prince who was given the title by the emperor would gain one territory and become the sole ruler there.
Queen Wen promised to guide Wei Wu Xian to rule the region properly and correctly.
Queen Wen's request was granted by Emperor Wei. Even Emperor Wei chose one of the lush and prosperous cities for Wei Wu Xian later on.
The relationship between Queen Wen and Emperor Wei began to improve. It was just that the power of the back palace was still in the hands of Consort Ming Lan.
