Madam Ming cried until her tears dried up and she couldn’t make a sound. She was so tired that she couldn’t cry anymore. Only then did she gradually calm down. However, her expression was empty and she was in a daze. It was really worrying.

Chun Xiao quickly brought a basin of warm water into her tent.

Yu Youyao picked up a wet handkerchief and helped Madam Ming wash up. She then instructed Chun Xiao, “Go bring over a basin of boiling water and soak the big medicinal bag you brought.”

The border city was cold and the conditions in the army were very simple. Yu Youyao had to soak her feet every night to warm her body before she could sleep more comfortably.

The medicine that was used to soak one’s feet could relieve cold and moisture.

It also had a certain effect of calming the mind and nourishing sleep.

It was exactly what Madam Ming needed.

When the boiling water in the wooden basin turned brownish-black and emitted a strong medicinal smell, Chun Xiao added cold water to the wooden basin and adjusted the water to a suitable temperature.

Yu Youyao squatted down and helped Madam Ming take off her shoes. Chun Xiao quickly came over. “Young Miss, let me do it!”

“There’s no need. Heat up the food you brought.” Yu Youyao shook her head and quickly helped Madam Ming take off her shoes and socks, soaking her feet in a wooden basin.

Madam Ming was in a daze. Her heart felt like it had a big hole in it. The cold wind howled into her heart, and her entire body turned cold.

The hot water was still a little hot when she stuck her feet in. Madam Mings body trembled and she gradually came to her senses.

The dense heat made her eyes burn. Even her cold body gradually felt warm. Smelling the faint smell of medicinal herbs in the tent, Madam Mings tense emotions relaxed a little.

She smiled bitterly. “I’m already so old. What haven’t I experienced in my long life? I’ve made a fool of myself today.” Her voice was hoa.r.s.e and choked. “On the day Brother Zhao died, Old Ming told me that if Brother Zhao died, all the 300,000 disciples in Youzhou would be his children.”

Yu Youyao suddenly covered her mouth, but she couldn’t stop it. A sorrowful whimper came from her throat, and tears streamed down her face.

General Ming Wei loved his soldiers like his children, which was why he was respected by all the soldiers in the army. With his order, there were people who shot arrows with him and followed him to tempt fate.

Among the 300,000 disciples, whose clothes hadn’t been mended by Auntie Ming?

Who’s clothes hadn’t been cleaned up with a wooden bat by Auntie Ming?

Among the 300,000 disciples, who wasn’t bright?

Who didn’t protect the country and the people?

Everyone was bright.

Everyone was his child!

Madam Mings voice was extremely dry. “I’ve sent Brother Zhao away, and I’ve also sent away countless soldiers. The eldest are in their thirties or forties, and the youngest is only 14 or 15 years old.” Her voice began to tremble violently. “Old Ming kept telling me that one day, our 300,000-strong army in Youzhou will definitely break through the mountains and rivers of the

Northern Barbarians. I’ll ask those Northern Barbarian families to raise white flags and everyone will be dressed in plain clothes. I’ll let them experience the tragic situation of losing their children, fathers, husbands, and wives.”

However, Old Ming did not wait for this day.

Yu Youyao looked at her. Her voice was hoa.r.s.e, but her tone was firm. “You’ll see this day.”

Madam Mings heart trembled. Looking at her determined eyes, she seemed to see Consort Zhou Li again. She smiled bitterly. “Is that so?”

In the past, she had always firmly believed this sentence. However, King Li of Zhou was dead, the Princess Consort was dead, and Old Ming was also dead. She suddenly felt a little uncertain.

Yu Youyao held her hand and looked at her firmly. “Believe me, you’ll definitely be able to wait until this day. His Highness will definitely let you see this day.”

Madam Ming suddenly recalled the scene of Yin Huaixi kneeling in front of her and making a blood oath. She also recalled that after Old Ming died in battle, Yin Huaixi had led the army and fought a beautiful battle.

Old Ming believed in His Highness, so he died generously. Her eyes turned red again. “If you say so, that day will definitely come.”

Yu Youyao continued, “Previously, General Ning Yuan said that His Highness shot an arrow at Meng Duo on the battlefield. Meng Duo is probably seriously injured and won’t be able to lead the troops in the future.”

Although that was not what General Ning Yuan had said, it was not far from it.

Although Meng Duo was not dead, it was still a comfort to Madam Ming.

Indeed!

A trace of light immediately appeared in Madam Mings dim eyes. “This is great. Meng Duo is a capable general of the main battle faction. Just from the fact that he could think of this method to attack the morale of our army with our own spears, it’s obvious that this person is extremely cunning and will do anything. This time, he has suffered a serious injury. The Northern Barbarians will have to face the situation of having a new main general. It’s really a taboo in the army. The main battle faction will definitely suffer a huge loss. Old Ming didn’t die in vain…”

Yu Youyao’s heart was filled with sorrow. Madam Mings son was dead, and her husband was dead. The sorrow in front and the pain in the back surged into her heart. Madam Ming was clearly heartbroken, but her heart was still concerned about the outcome of this battle.

At this moment, Chun Xiao entered the house with a box of food.

Yu Youyao quickly wiped her tears and took the food box. She took out the food from the food box and placed them on the table one by one. Considering that Madam Ming might not have much of an appet.i.te, Yu Youyao only made some medicinal porridge and stir-fried some mushrooms. In addition, she prepared some sour cabbage from the North, dried carrots, and refreshing appetizers.

Madam Ming did not have much of an appet.i.te.

Yu Youyao advised gently, “Eat some food. The soldiers are very worried about you. When I came just now, I saw many people lingering nearby. There are still many things in the army that you need to arrange. The Di people have always been brave and warlike. Who knows when they will mobilize again to wash away their previous humiliation? At that time, our army will face an even more difficult situation. We have to take this opportunity to take precautions.”

There were many soldiers in the camp who were helping to do some daily ch.o.r.es and take care of injuries.

As the military camp was an important place, ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Most of them were veterans and were very famous in the army. Not everyone could order them around.

If Madam Ming fell, the army would definitely be in chaos.

Madam Ming was a strong-willed person and had a strong sense of responsibility. When she heard this, she immediately perked up and forced herself to eat something.

Yu Youyao accompanied Madam Ming, and the two of them chatted casually.

After a while, Madam Ming couldn’t help but fall asleep.

Yu Youyao took off the orchid fragrance bracelet on her wrist and tied it to Madam Mings wrist. Seeing that Madam Ming was not sleeping well, she took out an incense pill from her sachet and burned one. Then, she placed it on the small table beside the bed.

Wisps of smoke rose silently.

Yu Youyao sighed softly and left the tent silently.

Old Madam Guan, who was guarding outside the tent, hurriedly went forward to ask.

She was an elder who served Madam Ming.

Yu Youyao said gently, “She cried just now and her emotions have stabilized a little. She soaked her feet in medicine and ate some food. She’s already asleep. Go to the tent and guard her. If there’s anything, send someone over to report to me..”
