The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 48 The King of Qin was beset with nightmares by the King of Wu? !

"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Come on!"

Ma Xiuying sipped the black chicken soup and said with a smile,

"Is there a great victory on the front line?"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, wiped his mouth, stood up, took the military newspaper from the table, and handed it to Ma Xiuying.

"Here, take a look—"

He looked pleased with himself.

Ma Xiuying did not shy away from it. She took the military newspaper and began to read:
"On the eighth day, we left Gongchang and Anding County, and arrived at Shen'eryu, where we faced Kuyuk Timur across the canal."

"On the ninth day, all the generals fought with all their might and defeated Kuyuk Timur! They captured Yuan Tan Wang, Wen Ji Wang, Duke Yan Sixiao, Pingzhang Han Zhaer, Hulinchi and other officials, 1,865 people, more than 84,500 officials and soldiers, 15,280 horses, and countless donkeys, cattle, sheep and other livestock..."

"This...Xu Da is great! He won a great victory!"

This good news is of great value!
Directly defeated Kuyuk Timur, the pillar of the Yuan Dynasty!
"Hahahaha, this kid really did not disappoint our expectations!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily and said,

"I beat Kuyuk Timur so hard that he ran away in panic! It feels so good, so good!"

"The results of this battle are unprecedented! We have already set the next strategic goal for Xu Da. As long as we continue with this trend, it will only take a few months to completely wipe out the Yuan Dynasty!"

Ma Xiuying also laughed when she heard this.

"Bao Yuan... we have finally reached this point."

She let out a long sigh and said with emotion,

"Zhongba, can I start preparing a celebration banquet for Xu Da?"

"His contribution is indeed of great importance!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard.

"Yeah, we still have to think about how to reward him."

He pondered,

"It is certain that he will be promoted to a higher position, and we will also increase his fiefdom!"

"By the way, we must marry our children to each other! Miaoyun must be our daughter-in-law!"

"Speaking of which, which of our kids do you think is the most suitable?"

They become relatives by marriage, one becomes the father-in-law and the other becomes the father-in-law.

This is one of the most gracious means of showing grace.

"As for age, the third, fourth, or fifth are all fine. In terms of age, the most suitable one should be the fourth or fifth."

Ma Xiuying thought for a moment and said,

"Xiaojuzi...it's OK, just barely. Miaoyun is one year older than Xiaojuzi, so they are about the same age."

"There is a folk saying that if a girl is one year older than her husband, she will hold a golden rooster."

"Actually, I really want to pair her with Xiaojuzi..."

After some communication and screening, she was very satisfied with Xu Miaoyun, her future daughter-in-law. She was beautiful and elegant, and her words and actions were quite appropriate. At first glance, she was a good wife.

Of course, the best candidate for daughter-in-law would be given to the most beloved son.

"That boy Zhu Ju? Forget it."

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and said,

"Given his character, it's too early for him to get married. I don't think he has the heart to do so."

Ma Xiuying nodded helplessly.

"Yes, I was just about to say that this kid is obsessed with burning incense and worshipping gods all day long. Last time Miaoyun came to my palace, he ignored her and had a very bad attitude. I even scolded him."

She sighed,
"Miaoyun is quite interested in his painting skills..."

"Forget it, let's arrange the marriages of the previous princes first! Xiaojuzi is still young, I will worry about him when he is older. I have a feeling that this kid's marriage will be very difficult. Last time he seemed to have said that he wanted to abstain from sex for the rest of his life and practice pure cultivation, and refine some great elixir of tranquility..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared.

"Abstinence from marriage? He dares!"

Old Zhu scolded,
"As a prince, his first mission is to have children for the royal family. If he doesn't have children, we will break his legs!"

Not getting married and not having children, what a joke!
Even if you really want to be a Taoist priest, you have to give birth to a litter of cubs for our Zhu family first!

The two were chatting when suddenly they heard the sound of footsteps.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The eunuch walked into the hall and said respectfully,

"Qiuyan, the maidservant of the King of Qin, requested to see him. She said that the King of Qin had a strange disease and had a high fever that wouldn't go away."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

"We know about the second brother's situation. He just caught a cold, but he's not getting better yet?"

He said casually,

"Call her in to answer the question."

The eunuch withdrew in response, and a moment later, Qiu Yan entered the hall and saluted towards the emperor and empress.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ma Xiuying raised her hand and said with concern:
"No need to be polite, just stand up and answer."

"What did the imperial physician say? What is his illness?"

Qiuyan stood up and lowered her head and replied:
"In reply to the Queen, Doctor Chen from the Imperial Hospital examined him and prescribed some medicine two days ago."

"But there is a strange thing. Every time His Highness finishes drinking the medicine, he sweats and feels a little better, but at night he will have a fever again."

"Your Highness has been having a fever and it's been going on and off for the past two days. His Highness's complexion is getting more and more abnormal, his breathing is getting more and more disordered, and he's often talking nonsense."

"In addition, His Highness also said that he felt uncomfortable all over, as if there were insects crawling all over his body..."

"I am in a desperate situation and can only come to see Your Majesty."

Ma Xiuying was slightly startled and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Zhongba, this is a bit strange... the fever won't go away, and there are bugs crawling around?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said:
"I guess this imperial physician is incompetent and prescribed the wrong medicine!"

"Come on, pass on my order and ask Liu Zhengfeng, the director of the Imperial Hospital, to go and give the King of Qin a good medical check!"

"As you wish." The eunuch in the palace responded and retreated.

"Go back and take good care of King Qin. If you have any questions, tell Liu Zhengfeng at any time."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said,

"When I have time, I will go to see him."

In his opinion, Zhu Chong just had a mild cold, so he could just arrange for a skilled imperial physician to treat him and there was no need to make a fuss.

However, after hearing this, Qiuyan, who should have thanked the emperor and left, did not move at all. She still lowered her head, looking a little unnatural.

"what happened?"

Ma Xiuying saw that her face looked a little strange and asked again,

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Qiuyan pursed her lips, and suddenly fell to her knees on the ground with a plop!

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"

"Your Highness the Prince of Qin has something to say, and I must tell you, Your Majesty. I know that this is a rebellious statement, and I cannot say it, but... I dare not disobey your Highness' order!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes fixed.

"What?"

"Your servant...Your servant dare not..."

"Speak!" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little impatient.

He hates people speaking half-sentences and being hesitant.

"Yes……"

Qiuyan raised her head suddenly and gritted her teeth.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin said that he was in such pain because he was under the spell of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: “?!”

Ma Xiuying: “?!”

In an instant, two sharp gazes were focused on Qiuyan!

The invisible pressure from the emperor and empress almost crushed her!

"Nightmare Town?!"

Ma Xiuying stood up suddenly and ordered,
"Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know what Nightmare Town means?!"
