Chapter 341 Only the Royal Family Knows
When Concubine Yin returned to the Beauty Palace, the black shadow was already waiting in the palace, with his head bowed, waiting for orders.
Concubine Yin had a stern expression and her voice was low but revealed unquestionable majesty.
"Black Shadow, Commander Yin is gravely injured, and the Crown Prince is about to depart for the Li Kingdom battlefield. I'm worried that Yamamoto Benro will be unable to withstand him. You must immediately travel to Li Kingdom and take the Crown Prince's life on the battlefield!"
The shadow's heart tightened, and he replied, "Yes, Master! But what about finding the ghost?"
In fact, he was not willing to leave Xia State.
Gou Chunmei's safety was always on his mind, and he wanted to stay by her side and keep her safe.
"You don't need to pay attention to the ghost matter. It won't cause any trouble. I will send people to track it down.
"The Crown Prince and his men will set off with their troops in a month. You must arrive before they reach Li Country and make all necessary arrangements." Concubine Yin said coldly, her gaze as sharp as a hawk's.
"Yes, I obey your command!" The black shadow was helpless, but he could only obey the order and retreat. His figure quickly disappeared in the palace.
Wang Xinyao and Xie Xiaogang came out of the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. They both breathed a sigh of relief, as they had finally passed the test of the Empress Dowager and the Queen.
Wang Xinyao asked Xie Xiaogang to leave the palace first, while she planned to go and pay a visit to Concubine Li.
She came to Chaoyang Palace. When Concubine Li heard that Wang Xinyao was coming, she immediately came out to greet her in person.
She knew in her heart that the prince's willingness to send troops to help was probably thanks to Wang Xinyao's mediation, and she had to thank him in person.
When Wang Xinyao saw Concubine Li, she immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Concubine Li!"
"Xinyao, come in quickly!" Concubine Li smiled and walked quickly forward. She took Wang Xinyao's hand affectionately and walked into the hall together.
As soon as she entered the hall, Concubine Li dismissed the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving her, then turned around and bowed solemnly to Wang Xinyao.
"Xinyao, thank you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my motherland! I will never forget this kindness."
Since when, she no longer calls herself "Ben Gong" in front of Wang Xinyao, and the relationship between them is like that of friends of many years.
Seeing this, Wang Xinyao hurried forward to help Concubine Li up and said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, please rise. This is all due to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's concern for the friendship between our two countries, not just my own efforts. Moreover, if Li Country is in danger, Xia Country will also be unable to remain unscathed. Sending troops to help is our duty."
"Xinyao, you have a kind heart. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. If I can help you, I will do it without hesitation." Concubine Li stood up, her eyes full of gratitude.
Wang Xinyao smiled and nodded, saying, "To be honest, Your Majesty, I came here today to inquire about the spiritual fruits on Baiyun Mountain. Your Majesty knows that I have some knowledge of the art of refining elixirs, and spiritual fruits are a key ingredient."
"Oh? Spiritual fruits can be used to make pills? I always thought it could only strengthen the body!" Concubine Li was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Then she continued, "My father learned that I had lost my child a while ago, so when he sent someone to report the Japanese invasion, he specially brought me some spiritual fruits."
As she spoke, she walked to an exquisite cabinet, took out the key from her body, opened the cabinet door, and took out an exquisitely decorated box from inside.
"Xinyao, here, there are ten spiritual fruits in here, take them all!"
Concubine Li handed the box to Wang Xinyao, her eyes full of sincerity and generosity.
"Your Majesty, this is too precious, I really..." A trace of desire flashed in Wang Xinyao's eyes, but she still felt unworthy and wanted to refuse.
"Xinyao, just accept it. Since taking the strengthening pill you gave me, my body has recovered very well.
Moreover, I want to tell you a good news, I am pregnant again!" Concubine Li said, with a happy smile on her face.
Her hand unconsciously stroked her slightly bulging belly. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never be able to get pregnant again in this life."
"Really? That's great, congratulations, Your Majesty!" Wang Xinyao's eyes were also full of joy, and she was sincerely happy for her.
"I'm happy for you. Xinyao, don't worry, I will definitely protect this child and will never let anyone hurt him.
Since this spiritual fruit is useful to you, you can take it all." Concubine Li looked determined and stuffed the box into Wang Xinyao's hands again.
"Then I will obey your command. Thank you, Concubine Li!" Wang Xinyao no longer refused and took the box.
Then she took out three exquisite porcelain bottles from her bosom and handed them to Concubine Li.
"My Lady, these are detoxification pills, pregnancy-preserving pills, and body-strengthening pills. You can carry them with you on a daily basis. Especially the pregnancy-preserving pill, you can take it at any time in case of emergency."
"Thank you so much, Xinyao. With these pills, I have more confidence that the child can be born safely." Concubine Li took the porcelain bottle gratefully and put it away carefully.
Then, she took off a warm jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Wang Xinyao, "Xinyao, this is my personal jade pendant.
When you arrive in Li Country, take it to see my father. Once he sees the jade pendant, he will arrange for someone to take you to the holy land for picking spiritual fruits.
That is a forbidden area for our royal family, and only members of the royal family know its location. The reason why Japan is determined to invade Li Kingdom is probably because they covet the legendary spiritual fruit tree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Xinyao took the jade pendant with both hands.
Then she said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. In addition to the 50,000 elite troops Your Majesty has allocated, we also have a 100,000-strong army stationed in Xiejia Village. They are all brave and powerful, and will definitely help the Kingdom of Li repel the invasion of Japan!"
