She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 414 - 413 - : A Stench of Sourness, Someone is Going to Kill the Dog!

Chapter 414: 413 Chapter: A Stench of Sourness, Someone is Going to Kill the Dog!

Yan Hongzhao was named General Rujin.

At this time, the muster of troops was only to be expected.

Chen Cheng and others who previously mocked her for having no official position, now wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves to escape from Yan Hongzhao’s sight.

Yan Hongzhao couldn’t be bothered to deal with such petty people.

Having proved her strength through the recent martial contest, she would now make her title of general well-deserved.

Like her father, brothers, and sister, she would fight on battlegrounds, shed her blood, and win honors for the Yan Family!

Yan Hongzhao held a roster, checking off each name...

It seemed like, at this moment, her era truly began.

...

The Crown Prince finally survived through the ten days to half a month as Yan Xiaoliu had mentioned.

The moment he crossed the threshold, he felt as if he was reborn.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? Come in quickly and drink your medicine." Yan Lingzhen walked ahead, with Cong Ge following, holding a bowl of medicine in hand.

The medicinal concoction was dark, with a strong smell that indicated its bitterness.

The Crown Prince furrowed his brow at the sight of the medicine.

"Wasn’t it agreed that there would be no need to drink anymore?" The medicine prepared by Yan Lingzhen was bitterly shocking, and she didn’t allow sugar to be added.

As a man, he couldn’t, like a woman, stuff his mouth with candied fruit after taking medicine.

Others would laugh at him for lacking masculine fortitude.

Thus, over these past days, the Crown Prince had relied solely on his willpower to drink these unbearably bitter concoctions.

He thought he had endured it all, but there was still more.

Hearing the plaintive tone in Xiao Pingfeng’s voice, Yan Xiaoliu was very straightforward, "The injury you suffered was internal. A severe injury heals in a hundred days — you’re lucky not to be bedridden for a year or more thanks to your rapid recovery. Shall I go tell sister right now that you refuse to take your medicine?"

"No, no, no! I’ll drink it, drink it!" If Yan Wanqing were told, where would he put his old face?

He was a dignified man, needing to show his masculine nature in front of his own wife.

There could be no unmanly whimpering that might tarnish his image.

So, the Crown Prince took the bowl from Cong Ge and lifted it to his lips, draining it in one gulp.

Familiar medicinal juice flowed down his throat; he didn’t even dare to pause, swallowing it down in big gulps.

Fearing that if he slowed down, the medicinal juice lingering on his tongue would force him to taste its flavor!

Even so, after finishing the bowl of medicine, the bitterness that surged up from his throat almost caused him to retch.

It tasted terrible!

Excruciatingly terrible!

This medicine was so unpleasant it could almost be listed among torture techniques in hell’s eighteen levels.

Watching her brother-in-law’s face change then revert to calmness, as tranquil as usual, Yan Lingzhen genuinely gave a thumbs up.

Her brother-in-law was truly manly!

As a physician, she knew very well how bitter and difficult it was to drink this medicine.

Not many could gulp it down in one go and not feel nauseous.

But her brother-in-law was different.

He behaved as if nothing had happened after drinking it.

What a tough guy!

Yan Lingzhen’s eyes gleamed with admiration, "Brother-in-law, I forgot to mention, this medicine actually needs to be taken with this to make it a bit more palatable. But since sister forgot to bring it the first day and then saw you drinking smoothly, we didn’t send it over. Today being the last day, it seemed wasteful to not use it, so please have it together."

Cong Ge deftly presented another bowl of crystal-clear soup.

"What is this?" The Crown Prince asked, lifting it up.

He tasted a bit, and it was refreshingly cool and importantly, sweet.

"This is an adjunct to the medicine. It’s specially used to make swallowing easier," Yan Lingzhen explained.

The Crown Prince drank the second bowl, and instantly, the nausea in his throat disappeared.

"Brother-in-law is really amazing, to drink such difficult medicine without a change in expression."

The Crown Prince: "..."

Looking at the empty bowls, his expression became even more complex.

So, he had been suffering unnecessarily this past month, had he?

Yan Xiaoliu had this excellent thing, why didn’t he bring it out earlier?!

Yan Lingzhen didn’t know why, but after her brother-in-law drank that bowl of supplementary medicine, the look he gave her faintly carried a hint of depth.

She felt a chill down her spine, but she didn’t take it to heart.

"The herbal soup today is the last time, my sister and I are going to travel, so Xiaoliu specially made these medicines into pills, all here, here, brother-in-law take them." She pulled out a rose-colored jade-like small bottle from her bosom.

It was quite soft and cute.

Xiao Pingfeng borrowed it, opened the bottle cap, and instantly, that heart-wrenching bitter taste assailed his senses, and he immediately capped it again.

"You can make these into pills?"

The Crown Prince didn’t know what he was feeling at this moment.

Yan Lingzhen now felt a chill around her neck as well.

"Yes, didn’t brother-in-law know? I thought brother-in-law liked to drink herbal soups."

The Crown Prince was about to turn livid.

Where could you tell he liked drinking herbal soups?!

"Every time sister feeds brother-in-law the herbal soup, brother-in-law drinks every single drop."

"It’s because your sister fed it to me—" The Crown Prince started to say but suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

He stretched out his hand to rub his temple, stepped back a bit, then entered the room again, "You all go, I am tired and want to rest."

Yan Lingzhen wanted to say something more, but the door was abruptly shut in front of her.

Yan Lingzhen touched her nose, looking at Cong Ge, "Cong Ge sister, is brother-in-law angry?" She didn’t say anything wrong, did she?

Cong Ge also shook her head, "He is probably really tired."

"Is that so?" Yan Lingzhen scratched her head in confusion as she walked back, "I don’t remember this medicine having fatigue as a side effect."

It was really strange.

Crown Prince: "... "I am emotionally exhausted! Is that okay?!

Yan Hongzhao had arranged everything at the Western Military Camp before everyone’s departure and finally made it back in time.

This place was a five-day journey from Xiangcheng.

"We can take a slight detour through Luzhou County," Yan Wanqing suddenly suggested.

"Why? Going through Luzhou County would add two more days to our journey," said Yan Hongzhao, not quite understanding.

Xiao Pingfeng immediately thought of what Yan Wanqing had told him before.

After thinking it over, he said, "Listen to your sister, the route through Luzhou County has more waterways, and it’s also more secure."

He wanted to recruit officials from among the common folk, and he absolutely could not leak any hint of it.

He could not give those bureaucrats a chance to prepare beforehand.

Yan Wanqing understood that Xiao Pingfeng now knew her intentions, and she curled her lip into a smile, and the two exchanged a smile.

Yan Lingzhen: "..."

No good, there’s a sour smell of love in the air!

Someone is ready to show their disdain for romance!

Yan Lingzhen arranged for the fifth and sixth brothers to take their brothers to the Western Military Camp, leaving only a small group to act as guards.

Although there was the protection of the eighteen levels of Hell and Stormy Building, the journey was still long, and the more people they had, the stronger they were.

They rented a boat, and everyone boarded and took the waterway.

The waterway was definitely much cooler than land, especially in the evening, when one could watch the beautiful sight of the setting sun reflected on the water, and everyone’s mood was greatly lifted.

"Luzhou County is a small eighteen-tier county town that has developed rapidly in recent years, flourishing populace, and its tax revenue gradually came to account for one-third of Xiangcheng’s total, all thanks to a County Magistrate named Hao Ren."

In the cabin, Yan Wanqing passed the information from Pine Crane Tower to Xiao Pingfeng.

"I have tried to win over Hao Ren a long time ago, intending to recommend him for a position in the Capital City, but he flatly rejected me."

Speaking of which, Yan Wanqing also smiled helplessly with a curl of her lip.

"That’s quite something," said the Crown Prince, finding it curious.

Given Yan Wanqing’s methods and capabilities, the talents she wanted were definitely ones she would try to assimilate.

But this Hao Ren turned out to be someone she couldn’t get.

This was interesting.

"We will reach Luzhou County in a day, and I will meet him personally."
