Chapter 265

"No way, Husband? His Majesty has already announced that he would go to war with Great Qin in front of everyone in the world. If he goes back on his word, wouldn't he be a laughingstock?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Li Xueyan's eyes.

War is not child's play, how could they just stop fighting after saying they would?

"It's simple! Build the plank road openly, and cross the Chencang secretly. According to the news Jiang Huai sent from the Hexi Corridor, the 200,000 Great Tang troops led by Cheng Yaojin disappeared without a trace after leaving the Great Tang border. There is no news of any request for help from the Western Regions, which means they have not been attacked either."

"There are many tricks here! According to my speculation, Li Er is probably shouting about going to war with the Western Regions on the surface, but is actually hiding his troops secretly. After a month or two, when Cheng Yaojin and the others return from the border, they will just shout about a great victory in the Western Regions. Anyway, no one will be bored enough to go to the Western Regions to find out if this is true or false."

"In this way, Li Er can preserve his reputation and not spend a single soldier, isn't it killing two birds with one stone? At most, it's just consuming some grain and grass!"

Qin Mu analyzed indifferently.

"Husband, I understand! So His Majesty sent the army led by Cheng Yaojin to attack Great Qin again, which is actually just for show."

"He won't rashly go to war for a Zhangsun Chong, leading to the suffering of the people. The most important thing for Great Tang right now is reform, not conquering everywhere."

Li Xueyan was naturally clever and understood everything, soon realizing Li Er's intention.

It seems that political matters are far from as simple as they appear on the surface!

Being with Husband, I can really learn a lot of things!

Tee-hee!

After Qin Mu discussed some other things with the ministers, he let them retreat.

At the same time.

An old man with white hair and beard walked in slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's time for a blood test."

The old man held a celadon cup in his hands, filled with clean water.

"Blood test? Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the old man's words, Li Xueyan's complexion became nervous.

"Don't worry, let me introduce you, this old man's name is Li Shizhen, a master of medicine."

"This old subject pays respects to the Princess."

Li Shizhen bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Dr. Li is too polite, you just said you were testing my Husband's blood, what is this all about?"

Li Xueyan smiled indifferently and asked about the blood test again.

"Princess, a blood test is a special way to check for physical diseases, it is my unique skill."

"As the saying goes, a person's essence and blood are the foundation of the physical body. Through blood testing, one can detect whether His Majesty has any potential disease conditions."

Li Shizhen explained unhurriedly.

To put it plainly!

This is actually a way of physical examination.

Li Shizhen is a rare genius in medical history, actually being able to research such a strange diagnostic method, which is truly breathtaking.

"There is actually such a method? It is my ignorance."

Li Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit ashamed in her heart.

Having been by Husband's side for so long, she still couldn't fully understand him.

It really shouldn't be!

"Alright, Dr. Li, come on."

Qin Mu smiled indifferently and stretched out his right index finger.

"Then this old man will offend you."

Li Shizhen took out a silver needle from his sleeve and very carefully pricked the tip of Qin Mu's finger.

A drop of blood slowly flowed out and dripped into the teacup Li Shizhen had prepared.

Li Shizhen picked up the teacup and carefully watched the blood drop inside.

"Dr. Li, how is my Husband's health?"

Li Xueyan asked nervously.

"Princess, rest assured, His Majesty is strong and healthy, without any hidden diseases."

Li Shizhen said with a smile.

After finishing the test for Qin Mu, Li Shizhen retreated very tactfully.

At the door of the room.

Changle was walking toward this side angrily, just in time to meet Li Shizhen coming out from inside.

"Dr. Li, why are you here?"

Changle hurried forward to say hello.

Before.

When Zhangsun Wugou was feeling unwell, Qin Mu had sent Li Shizhen to diagnose her once.

Changle remembered this divine doctor.

"So it is the Princess, this old man came to check His Majesty's health."

"Oh, so that's it. Hey, what's in this teacup?"

"In the teacup is His Majesty's blood drop, this old man can use blood testing to check if a person has any diseases."

"So magical? Dr. Li, can I try it?"

Changle blinked her watery eyes, her eyes full of grievance and pity.

She is a mischievous little girl.

She wants to try everything and is curious about everything.

"This... alright then!"

Li Shizhen really couldn't bear to refuse such a cute little girl, so he had to nod and agree.

"Great! Let's do it!"

"Princess, please stretch out your right index finger, this old man needs to use a silver needle to prick a drop of blood into this cup."

"Okay!"

Changle nodded obediently and stretched out her right index finger.
