Chapter 174: Song Lian returns to Beijing
"Father, do you know, something has happened to our Yan family in the past few days, the whole house has been turned upside down, and you and the ancestors of our Yan family have almost been infamous because of this, father, the child is useless, it is the child's fault that he failed to protect the entire Yan family well. Yan Rong knelt in the ancestral hall and said.
"This matter, it's also ridiculous, I thought that during the New Year, the child told you that my uncle came to the house, no matter how deep your previous entanglement was, there is still someone in our Yan family, he is your brother, my uncle, and the reunion dinner can also be enjoyed together.
Unexpectedly, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, they were completely separated, and before they came to report to you, they cut off contact, it seems that our Yan family is really a child and grandchild, is it because of the blood on his hands? Yan Rong looked at his father's tablet, and a thin layer of ash had fallen on it, probably because Yan Bo hadn't had time to wipe it in the past few days, Yan Rong gently picked up a handkerchief to wipe off the layer of ash.
"Ah Rong, come out, you've been in there for a long time." Nangong Li said in anticipation outside.
"Zili, let's go back." Yan Rong said with a long-lost smile after opening the door.
"Okay, I'll take you home." Nangong Li gently took Yan Rong's hand and left gently with Yan Rong.
The next day
Capital
"Lord Song is finally back, after three months, thinking that he will be able to return to Beijing soon, who knows that he got the news that the envoy was infected with the wind and cold and delayed the trip, I don't know what is happening now?" Outside the palace, Nangong Yu asked after greeting Song Lian.
"The minister went to Mengyang country in accordance with the emperor's holy decree, and now he has arrived safely, His Royal Highness the prince is here to greet him, minister, I am grateful, as for the envoy of Mengyang country, I also hope that His Royal Highness the prince will convene the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat it, I thought it was not adaptable, who knew that the condition was becoming more and more violent, although it improved, but the cause has been unknown." Song Lian replied.
"In that case, please follow me back to the palace as soon as possible." Nangong Yu said.
A group of people entered the palace in a mighty way, Nangong Yu looked out of the city when he was leaving, the street leading to Rong Wangfu, she was so cowardly, now that she had left the palace, she couldn't make up her mind to see her, it was really useless.
Palace
"Song Aiqing's mission to Mengyang this time is really hard, I really deliberately set up a palace banquet for Aiqing to pick up the wind and wash the dust, this time I went to Mengyang not only to settle the contradictions between the two countries, but also received a batch of excellent horses, as well as iron horses, it's really good, I want to give you a reward, what do you want?" Nangong said to Song Lian who was kneeling down in the hall.
"The minister did all this because of the blessing of the Great Apocalypse, the emperor's permission and the help of the ministers, and the minister was willing to do this, for the sake of the Great Apocalypse and for the emperor." Song Lian said.
"I know that you don't want fame and fortune, but you have made meritorious contributions, and my rewards and punishments are clear, if you don't say it, I will reward you." Nangong Yan smiled happily.
"Thank you to the emperor, the ministers will fulfill their duties and live up to the emperor's heavy responsibilities." Song Lian said.
After a period of politeness, everyone was seated, but now there was one less person at the feast.
"Lord Song has been in the dust all the way, hurry up and drink some soju to warm up." Xia Linfeng raised his wine glass and said to Song Lian.
"Xia Shangshu is polite, are you okay?" Song Lian didn't have a good impression of the officials above the court, but Xia Shangshu was still a loyal and excellent old man, and he was also respectful to him, after all, he was alone in the court, and only Xia Lao had helped him a little.
"My body is the same, but this time I went to Mengyang Country, where it is still cold, but it is harmful to diseases?" Xia Linfeng asked.
"The younger generation is still healthy and not sick, but the people who accompanied him suffered from wind and cold." Song Lian said.
"Yan Jiajun follows you, and you can rest assured as a husband." Xia Linfeng smiled and said.
"Speaking of Yan Jiajun, why don't you see the general?" Song Lian asked when he looked around, he thought that he could meet him outside the palace, but who knew that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to pick him up, and he was shocked and had some questions, so he asked patiently.
"Xiaorong, she has some things, and the emperor will exempt her from the morning court for the past two days, but the emperor has decreed that she will handle the handover with you this time." Xia Linfeng said simply.
"I see, I'll visit her in person when the time comes." Song Lian smiled and said.
"Okay." Xia Linfeng nodded and said.
"By the way, Song Lian, what kind of illness did this group of envoys have, so strange?" Nangong asked again.
"A few days ago, I just vomited and had a fever, and I thought it was caused by the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, after all, the weather here is warmer, and they are more different there, but they are like that for a few days, so the accompanying doctor can't be cured, and he can only slowly recuperate outside the capital for a while, this time he was delayed for a few days, although it has improved somewhat, but it still doesn't work." Song Lian replied.
"It depends on how the imperial doctor judges, in this way, you go back to the house to rest first, and the matter here will be handed over to Yu'er and Rongzhi, and if you hand over outside, you can go and discuss with Yan Rong, and if there is anything else, you can report it directly to me." Nangong Cheng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Lian hurriedly said.
"By the way, why is Prime Minister Rong also sick today?" Nangong asked Xiang Rongzhi again.
"My father was infected with the wind and cold, and I felt unwell early this morning, and my head was hot and dizzy, but the emperor set up a banquet, and I couldn't help but come, and my legs and feet were weak as soon as I walked to the door, and the minister felt that my father should be bedridden, so I came to participate for my father." Rong Zhi said.
"The prime minister is also getting old, he should take good care of his body, the prime minister works hard every day, and he is by my side every day, it is not easy, in this way, Yuanshou, you go to the palace to bring the treasured ginseng wine, send it to the prime minister's mansion, take some supplements, and send the imperial doctor to take a look." Nangong Cheng said.
"Thank you for the emperor's care, if my father knows, I will definitely be happy in my heart." Rong Zhi said.
"You are now in the prime of life, and you are exactly what your father was like back then, exercising and exercising, and you will be a good hero for me in the future." Nangong Cheng said with a smile.
"Now the emperor has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Yan by his side, he is already extremely powerful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, General Yan is outside to calm the world, and the ministers are only able to fight, not as good as the prince and the general." Rong Zhi said.
"You kid is too modest, in terms of strategy and intelligence, you are no worse than Yan Rong, in terms of ability, you and Yu'er are also between you, I appreciate you, naturally you are better than blue, and you will definitely be stronger than your father in the future" Nangong Yan said.
"The emperor is really falsely praised, but the ministers must also serve the emperor and Daqi like the prince and the general." Rong Zhi thanked him.
"Okay, with you people in the Great Apocalypse, I will be relieved." Nangong Cheng raised his wine glass and glanced at Song Lian and said.
Everyone raised their glasses.
