Xu Changsheng's eyes were instantly gloomy. He sat down a little dejectedly. How he hoped that the woman in front of him was really a spy sent by the Chen Kingdom. But the other party's words made him unable to find the slightest mistake or omission. Even if it's just a glimmer of hope. He was more willing to believe. Queen Shu is still alive. It's just a change in temperament.

"What else does the general want to know. The courtiers must know everything and speak everything."

The familiar scent of herbs came from her. Xu Changsheng raised his head with a little sadness. His gaze fell on the sachet that Yun Shu hung on his waist. This sachet. It's also what Queen Shu taught you."

I didn't expect him to recognize the smell. Yun Shu's eyes were a little surprised. Then he reached out and took off the sachet." Yes. The Queen Mother said that this taste helps clear the mind. Improves mood. So the courtiers learned the recipe. I've been wearing it."

“…… OK. Give it to me."

Yun Shu was slightly stunned. Finally, he slowly put the sachet into Xu Changsheng's palm.

The man on the ground looked at the delicate sachet. The scene of being rescued by Queen Shu seems to be just yesterday. He always thought that he just had to do his duty. Guarding the border for the Yi country is the greatest reward for the queen. Didn't expect that. The queen didn't know it when she needed help the most.

"I ...... I'm ashamed of the queen."

He slowly closed his eyes. Yun Shu looked at the bulging green tendons on the back of his hand. I know how hard this man endures.

"General. If the queen is in the spirit of heaven. I will definitely be grateful to the general for this piece of heart. The courtiers came to repay the queen. Second. It's also for Tatsukoku. Emperor Xiao wants to dominate the industry. He did not hesitate to trample on the comfortable life of the people just to satisfy his ambitions. In order for the two countries not to go to war again. For the Yi country where the queen grew up. The courtiers all hope that the general can help the courtiers."

However. But the man kept his head down. There was no response for a long time.

Yun Shu saw his reaction. It's a pity more in my heart. In fact, she wasn't sure that Xu Changsheng could really help her. Maybe the other party knew about Queen Shu's death. will be so angry that he will resign as a general and retire to the mountains and forests. But it's better than letting him do things for Xiao Yichen. He is one of the few who survives. Yun Shu hopes that even if he can't help himself. can also keep him away from Xiao Yichen.

She didn't want to save the people she had brought back. was killed by Xiao Yichen again.

"If the general is unwilling. Courtiers will not be reluctant. But the courtiers have a request. Hopefully, the general will hand over the power of the army. Stay away from the court and away from Emperor Xiao. Otherwise. The general will soon be killed. Just like those people."

The man lowered his head. His fingers moved slightly. Subsequently. But there was a chuckle.

"How. You little girl thinks General Ben is greedy for life and afraid of death."

“…… Naturally, the courtiers didn't mean that."

The man in front of him finally stood up. There was no longer any look of loss on his face. Some. It's just an endless burning fighting spirit." The life of General Ben. It was given by the Queen. To fetch. I also want the queen to fetch it herself. Go ahead. What do you want General Ben to do. Of course. It's not for you Chenguo. It's for the sake of our Empress Shu of the Yi Kingdom. What the queen wants most is for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Naturally, General Ben wants to protect this hope. It doesn't matter who loses the queen. General Ben will personally avenge the queen's mother." Even if that person is Emperor Xiao.

"No. The queen didn't want the general to avenge her. As long as the general can protect the people for her, this is enough. Don't lose your life on impulse." Xu Changsheng's words startled Yun Shu. He probably wanted to assassinate Xiao Yichen.

"Hahaha...... Feel relieved. This general will not lightly bury the life of the queen mother. Now. I have nearly a million troops on the border. There is still a place for use. Won't do it to me so soon. What do you think?"

Looking at the man in front of him who had regained his senses. Yun Shu sighed lightly in her heart. For the time being, please do not act rashly. As long as you keep this military power. It's late tonight. General, please go back."

When he saw the woman, he was about to leave. Xu Changsheng seemed to have thought of something." Wait a minute. A few days ago, His Majesty suddenly mobilized the troops on the border. Possible. It's about your Tatsu Kingdom." Now. Xu Changsheng is already planning to sell Xiao Yichen completely. He's not a fool. His loyalty is not to Emperor Xiao. It's not Yiguo. It's Queen Shu. And Emperor Xiao killed Queen Shu. So he should look at Xiao Yichen unpleasantly.

Yun Shu's eyes flashed. The general knows where he went."

“…… I don't know yet." That happens to be outside his jurisdiction. And now Emperor Ruo Xiao wants to move every soldier in his hands. That's a fool's dream.

"Thank you, General."

……

Tatsukuni Kyoto.

Outside the Kyoto City Gate. The ministers headed by Prime Minister Ji Jin. has already stood in two rows to greet the arrival of the Feng family's army.

When the mighty procession appeared in front of everyone. Everyone immediately craned their necks and watched. Until the man at the head appeared before them. The ministers were overjoyed.

"Yes, Your Highness. Your Highness has returned."

"And Master Hou. They're all back."

Ji Jin's eyes were full of anticipation. And the pro-escort team is back. So whether it is as His Highness said. She's back, too.

All the ministers immediately knelt down. Blink of an eye. The team has come to them.

on horseback. Dongfang Xu pulled the reins. Slowly stopped in front of Ji Jin. The handsome man got off the ground. The prime minister immediately stepped forward." Your Highness. Came back." He looked at Dongfang Xu's expression seriously. Seems to want to see something out of it.

Who knows. The other party just replied lightly. Hmm." There was no more reaction.

The horses swayed in front of Ji Jin one after another. But I never saw that familiar figure. Ji Jin couldn't help frowning. Could it be said. She wasn't brought back with her.

The crowd did not stop. Go in the direction of the palace.

on horseback. Feng Yu and Feng Xi looked at the familiar street. Mixed feelings in my heart. Sure enough, the air in their kingdom is good. As soon as it makes people feel relaxed and happy. However. Feng Yu looked at the man in front of him uneasily. He knew that the rest of the days would not be peaceful. His Royal Highness has not dispelled the idea of bringing the Imperial Physician back.

Really. One enters the palace. Dongfang Xu immediately summoned Ji Jin to his imperial study.

"Your Highness. But the Imperial Physician has not returned to the palace."

Dongfang Xu's face was extremely ugly." Prime minister. There is something about the main hall. I want you to cooperate."

"Your Highness, please."

"Above the early dynasty. The main hall will tell the ministers. Re-elect a royal physician to go to the kingdom of Yi. Swap Yun Shu back."

"......" Ji Jin immediately restrained his expression. He knew it was going to be difficult. Your Highness didn't mention it before. It immediately attracted a lot of opposition from the DPRK and China. Now the old thing is brought up again. The situation is not much better.

Especially now that the Feng family army has returned. Send someone over again. It may just be a simple waste of manpower and material resources.

"So the main temple hopes. Tomorrow the prime minister can stand up. Support the main temple."

“…… Do your best."

"You want her back, too. So. Be sure to help the main hall."

Of course he hopes. But he wasn't alone. Although these days. He didn't hear anything about Yun Shu. But Ji Jin knows. No news is the best news. If Emperor Xiao really moved her. I'm afraid it's already a sensation all over Kyoto.

Out of the study. Ji Jin is full of worries. But I met a man head-on.

"Young Master Feng."

"Your Excellency."

Ji Jin's gaze fell on his still bandaged arm. Instantly, his brow furrowed. Young Master Feng's arm, this is ......"

"Oh. Slightly injured. Out of the way."

"But the Imperial Physician helped Young Master Feng bandage it." I don't know why. Ji Jin blurted out without thinking about it.

Feng Yu was stunned. Then he smiled. Exactly."

Ji Jin suddenly envied Feng Yu a little. I've been able to see her all these days." Young Master Feng. Can you ask a question?"

Feng Yu and the prime minister have never had any contact. I didn't expect him to be so humble. It's right now." Adults don't have to be polite. Ruofeng has something to do to help adults. Your Excellency says so."

Ji Jin looked back for a while. Feng Yu immediately understood what he meant. The two of them walked towards the other courtyard in tacit understanding.

"The Imperial Physician. Why didn't I come back with you?"

Sure enough, it's because of the Imperial Doctor's business. Feng Yu sighed lightly. The Imperial Physician refused to return. She said there was still work to be done."

Ji Jin confirmed what he had in mind. He always felt that Yun Shu had a lot of secrets. Make her mysterious and unpredictable. And Emperor Chen sent Yun Shu to go. It's definitely not just about taking care of Princess Yongning.

Possible. She hasn't finished what the emperor has told her.

"And she. How are you doing?" Ji Jin's tone was filled with worry that was difficult to hide. Such a look fell in Feng Yu's eyes. It actually made him can't help but associate with Dongfang Xu.

How could the prime minister care so much about the imperial physician. Could it be ......

"The Imperial Physician is fine. But. If His Royal Highness mentions the matter of taking the imperial physician back to the palace. Please also ask the prime minister to discourage him a lot."

"Young Master Feng...... I don't want the Imperial Physician to come back." Ji Jin didn't expect it. Feng Yu would actually say such a thing.

"It is not easy for His Highness to take the Imperial Physician back to the palace. Few people in the DPRK and China now agree with this. If Your Highness insists on doing so. I'm afraid it will bring him unnecessary trouble. Moreover. Since the Imperial Physician is reluctant to come back. It would be no good to forcibly bring her back to the palace."

Ji Jin's face was a little embarrassed. The prince called him in. That's for it. Now. The young master of the Feng family asked him to dissuade His Highness. It's a real headache.

"Your Highness will announce this in the court tomorrow. I'm afraid it's hard to change his mind."

What the. The prince really didn't have the heart to die...... Feng Yu's face was full of anxiety. There's nothing you can do about it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be wrong any longer."

"That...... What does that mean?"
