Chapter 930 Drink a cup?
The capture of Yanjing went relatively smoothly, and the army's casualties were not heavy.
Unless it's a serious injury, Huang Sumu is now capable of handling things on his own. With him in the lead, Lu Yangyang and others went to sleep for a few hours before coming over.
When Sheng Junyao brought Li Duan over, Lu Yangyang had just finished surgery. Upon seeing Li Duan, she ran over happily, her clothes still stained with blood.
"Big brother, Xiaoli, what brings you here? It's a bit chaotic here. Please find a place to wait for me, and I'll come find you in a bit."
The Imperial Medical Academy in Yan Palace was quite large. Although it was empty and not fully stocked with medicinal herbs, it was just the right size to temporarily house the wounded. However, with so many people, there was hardly any room to move.
Li Duan had long known that Lu Yangyang was a skilled doctor, but when they separated three years ago, Lu Yangyang was not as adept as she was now. She was curious about Lu Yangyang's experiences over the past three years, but she also knew that now was not the time to reminisce.
"I'm not really comfortable being alone, so I thought I'd come and see if there's anything I can help with. If not, that's okay too, I can wait for you outside." Li Duan looked at Lu Yangyang with longing, a little shy. For the past few years, every day she opened her eyes, she was thinking about how to act. Suddenly, she didn't have to pretend anymore, and she felt a little lost.
She didn't know what she could do, and she was worried that she might cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yangyang grabbed her arm and said, "It's great that you're here to help! There are so many wounded people coming and going, and everyone who can help is in use. We're all so busy that it's easy to make mistakes. It's perfect that you can help us take stock of their situation. Hongyu will tell you what to do. She's the only one who can fill in for now, but she's not very good at this kind of thing and is quite flustered."
Hongyu is skilled in light-footed martial arts and adept at using hidden weapons. She complements Lu Yangyang perfectly by her side. However, writing and recording are things she is not good at, so she is busy but stumbling around and is hoping that someone can take her place.
It just so happens that Li Duan is doing this, and Hong Yu can protect her safety by her side. Although Yan Palace has been taken into control, it is still unknown whether there are any hidden dangers.
Li Duan was surprised that there was actually something she could do, and quickly nodded happily, "Okay."
Upon hearing Lu Yangyang's arrangement, Sheng Junyao immediately understood her intention and said gently, "Then you all go ahead with your work. I'll go find A-Que to discuss the next steps."
After Sheng Junyao left, Lu Yangyang called Hongyu to follow Li Duan, and she also hurried to perform surgery on another seriously injured patient.
After working so hard until night, Li Duan was so exhausted that she couldn't even lift her fingers. She didn't have time to think about anything else and fell asleep next to Lu Yangyang.
Lu Yangyang was used to staying up late for long periods of time, so she wasn't that sleepy yet. But seeing Li Duan leaning against her and falling asleep, she unconsciously relaxed and soon drifted off to sleep as well.
The next day was another busy one, but fortunately, Jiang Zhiyi, Sheng Yunjiao, and Wen Qingqing arrived in the afternoon, and even Mingxiu came along this time.
With Jiang Zhiyi in charge, everything quickly stabilized.
In the evening, Lu Yangyang finally had some free time and had the opportunity to chat with her girlfriends.
It started snowing outside, so they warmed up some wine, set up a charcoal brazier in the empty room, and cooked the wine around the brazier.
Sheng Yunjiao hugged Li Duan, crying and laughing at the same time. When they were forced to separate, they were both young. It seemed like just a moment ago they were happily watching a play together, eating snacks and chatting about gossip in the capital. In the blink of an eye, they were caught in the vortex of politics and went their separate ways. Not to mention controlling their own destiny, they didn't even know where their future lay.
But despite all the twists and turns along the way, we have finally achieved this reunion.
Li Duan listened to Lu Yangyang and Wen Qingqing recount their experiences in Jiangnan: the two of them being tied up in a bandit's den and then exchanging bewildered glances when they discovered the other was also faking it; the shock she felt when she saw the sick prostitutes at the salt fields; the girls sacrificed in Yuzhou; the miners living in darkness in the mines; the initial intention behind founding Mingxin Academy; and how they traveled thousands of miles to Yuechuan, how they returned to Changyang County to awaken their aunt, and how they returned to the capital to win the Chenzhou case and clear the Rong family's name.
Together with the Third Prince's rebellion, they went to the north to resolve this decades-long stalemate.
Li Duan stared in shock countless times, but she still didn't forget to ask Sheng Yunjiao, "So you're saying that you and Yan Xiaoyue are a perfect match?"
Sheng Yunjiao pounced on her and tickled her: "Why don't you say you've had a crush on my older brother since you were little? How am I a cuckold!"
Li Duan snuggled into Lu Yangyang's arms as she was tickled: "Hey, who told you to gnaw on the only blade of grass in the nest? We agreed to be best friends forever, but you two are secretly dating!"
"If you say it again, I'll tell everyone that you wrote your brother's name all over your wishing lanterns!"
The group scratched each other in a chaotic mess.
In the first few years after Lu Yangyang arrived in the capital, she, Sheng Yunjiao, Li Duan, and Yan Yue secretly drank and swore to be best friends for life. Back then, all they thought about was happiness. But as they grew up, they realized that the world was vast, and dreams were big too.
Although they have gone through many twists and turns, they are fortunate to have found their dreams and are striving towards them.
Many hardships are like drinking tea; to be fortunate enough to encounter them is the best arrangement.
On the corridor diagonally opposite the house, Zong Que, wearing a heavy cloak, stood under the eaves, his gaze passing through the overlapping snow in the garden, looking towards the warm and cozy atmosphere inside the house in the distance. The tea that Pei Ji had handed him had long since gone cold.
Sheng Junyao walked over, stopped beside him, and turned his head to look at him. "Want a drink?"
Zong Que nodded slightly and smiled, "Shall we have a drink then?"
