She really wanted to go back immediately, but she couldn't match this helpless reality......

"Jiang Chuge, did you really decide to resign and return home?"

Qin Chenglang could hear the trace of crying in Jiang Chuge's voice, but as an emperor, it was impossible for him to be moved by this.

"Yes, please ask the emperor for permission!"

Seeing that, Jiang Chuge wanted to kneel on the ground again, but was stopped by Qin Chenglang with a wave of his hand, and ordered her to raise her head and look at him.

Qin Chenglang's voice was calm, but his sharp eyes were full of essence: "Where do you live?" ”

"A nameless island in the eastern waters of the Eastern Qing Kingdom."

Jiang Chuge had already taken precautions against this question and responded fluently.

She has a strong psychological quality, and Qin Chenglang did not see anything wrong.

"Really?"

The stone city is to the south, but the East China Sea is to the east, and the two places are not connected by sea.

If Jiang Chuge went to Stone City by land, it would be impossible for the people he sent to go for months without finding out any news.

The only possibility is that Jiang Chuge is lying!

Lying for the sake of a successful resignation!

Qin Chenglang's bottomless eyes gradually narrowed, and there was an endless dark glow of danger surging in the middle.

"Jiang Chuge, I agree with you to resign from the post of prison magistrate, you can step down."

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want Shen Weiran's tragedy to happen again, Jiang Chuge, who had a terrifying ability and was eager to get out of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, would have turned into a corpse in an instant.

Looks like it's time to talk to Yuan'er!

"Thank the emperor for Longen, and the grass people will retire."

Jiang Chuge saluted and quickly retreated.

Seeing her figure disappear from sight, Qin Chenglang rushed to Chen Yong, who was waiting on the side, and ordered: "You go to King Yi's mansion in person, and King Xuanyi will enter the palace immediately!" ”

"Yes, the old slave will go."

Feeling the murderous aura and displeasure on the emperor's body, Chen Yong did not dare to delay in the slightest, and quickly retreated.

In King Yi's Mansion, Imperial Physician Hua rushed from the palace and applied the last medicine to the wound on Qin Ying's back: "Lord Yi, the wound on your back has almost completely healed, and this is the last time to apply ointment." ”

"Hmm."

Qin Ying responded lightly, and there was no change in the expression on his face.

For so many years, he has become accustomed to being expressionless, not revealing his emotions, and being guessed by others in front of him, and grasping the handle.

Doctor Hua was already surprised by his reaction, and retired after taking the medicine.

Less than half a stick of incense after he left, the housekeeper hurriedly came: "Lord, Gonggong Chen came in person, and he is already in the main hall at the moment, saying that the emperor urgently summoned you to the palace." ”

"Okay, this king knows."

Qin Ying got up and went to the main hall, his face was still unwavering, and there was no difference because the person who came was the great eunuch next to the emperor and was urgently summoned.

When he walked outside the main hall, Chen Yong, who was anxiously pacing around the hall, saw him at a glance.

Seeing that he looked unhurried, Chen Yong anxiously stepped forward, lowered his voice to Qin Ying's ear, and said in a low voice: "Lord Yi, Lord Jiang entered the palace to submit his resignation, and the emperor intended to keep him, but Lord Jiang was resolute, and even lied that her home was on a nameless island in the East China Sea. Although the emperor allowed Lord Jiang to resign, the old slave felt that the emperor was very unhappy and summoned you to the palace, presumably for this matter. ”

"Lord Yi, please!"

Summoned back to his senses by Qin Ying's voice, Chen Yong suppressed the consternation in his heart and said with a smile.

More than half an hour later, Qin Ying appeared in the imperial study, and as for Chen Yong, when he came in, he let him stay outside.

"Yuan'er, you really take Jiang Chuge very seriously."

Looking at his son, who was standing tall in front of the table with a cold face, Qin Chenglang couldn't help but sigh.

"If you know it, you shouldn't have any bad thoughts about her. I promised her that I would never let her become the second Shen Weiran, and the tragedy of six years ago would not be repeated...... Unless I die! ”

Qin Ying's fists were clenched, and his strength was so great that his bones even made a rattling sound.

His face was as cold as ice, his voice was even more cold, and the green tendons on his forehead were beating wildly, like a netherworld Shura from hell.

He almost burst out of these words between his teeth, especially the last four words, even Qin Chenglang was shocked for a long time.

Shen Weiran had an accident, and he had already died once.

If Jiang Chuge has anything to do again, I'm afraid that no one will be able to pull his life back.

But......

"Jiang Chuge's origin is a mystery, his identity is mysterious, he is wise and wise, and he has successively produced weapons of mass destruction that are enough to shock the world. If such a person can't guarantee that she is absolutely harmless to me, as the king of a country, I have no choice but to get rid of him......"

Qin Chenglang didn't intend to retreat, but he gave a solution that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Yuan'er, I called you here to let you know that until the end, I won't take her life." Now there are three choices in front of you, marry her as a concubine; or let her volunteer to serve as a prisoner; Or...... Stand by and watch her affairs. ”

As his words came out, Qin Ying's tense body on the opposite side obviously loosened a lot.

However, the atmosphere in the imperial study was still stiff and solidified, so low and oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.

The father and son confronted each other across the table, and neither of them would speak first.

This situation lasted for an hour, until Chen Yong outside reported through the door: "Your Majesty, the prince has asked for an audience." ”

In this way, the rigid atmosphere in the room was broken.

"I'll let her choose one of the first two choices!"

Qin Ying coldly dropped his sentence and turned straight away, not even bothering to do the basic etiquette.

Qin Chenglang sighed, shook his head helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: "Yuan'er, Dongqing is important, but you are also my favorite son." By doing so, I have avoided many possible dangers, and I have fulfilled your ......."

His voice grew quieter and quieter, until at last it had turned into a soft sigh.

As soon as Qin Ying left, Chen Yong came in, and was about to tell him again that the prince was out to see him, but Qin Chenglang waved his hand and said, "Are you really the prince?" He was worried that I would fight with King Yi's father and son, so he came to resolve it. ”

"The emperor is really wise and wise, the old slave can't think of this."

Chen Yong hurriedly smiled and flattered.

"You are the best at slapping horses~"

Qin Chenglang glanced at Chen Yong, let out a long breath, and said, "Okay, since it's okay, you can let him retreat." ”

"Yes."

Chen Yong retreated.

Outside the Imperial Study

As soon as Qin Yingfu came out, he met the prince's eyes, and seeing that the inquiry in his eyes was obvious, he nodded slightly, indicating that the matter was over.

Although Qin Yichen heard some rumors from the palace people, he only knew that his fourth brother was urgently summoned to the palace this time, and it was related to Jiang Chuge, and he didn't know anything about it.

When Qin Ying walked in front of him, he took the initiative to invite: "Do you want to go to the East Palace to sit?" ”

"Big brother don't worry, I can handle it."

Qin Ying knew the true purpose of the crown prince for letting him go to the East Palace.

Jiang Chuge is very stubborn, and this matter will be more troublesome.

The crown prince is sensitive, and there are too many pairs of eyes staring at him.

Qin Ying didn't want to pull him in, so he excused himself, then turned around and strode away.

Qin Yichen stood in place, looking at Qin Ying's figure gradually moving away, and there was a hint of melancholy in his deep and distant eyes.

Their queen mother did something very wrong, but she did one thing right.

She taught the two brothers since they were young that they must care for each other, support each other, and not harm each other for the sake of profit.

When they were young, they may have been puzzled, but when they grew up, they deeply understood how precious family affection was for them who were born into the royal family.

This time his younger brother encountered a difficult situation in life, as an elder brother, how could he sit idly by?

Qin Ying came out of the palace, it was almost evening, he looked up at the gray sky, and his already depressed mood became worse and worse.

He rode straight on the horse he had left at the gate of the palace when he entered the palace, and headed towards Splendid Lane.

The palace was far away from Jinxiu Lane, and because there were still many pedestrians on the street, it took Qin Ying half an hour to arrive.

He accurately found the small courtyard where Jiang Chuge lived, tied the horse to the big tree at the door, and retreated to the hidden courtyard door and entered.

After the dusty courtyard, Qin Ying stepped into the hall, but he didn't see Jiang Chuge, but there was a voice from the next room.

He followed the voice, and in the bedroom, Jiang Chuge was busy packing her things, obviously eager.

"Jiang Chuge."

Qin Ying frowned and called out to her.

The familiar voice entered her ears, Jiang Chuge's busy figure froze, she turned to look at Qin Ying mechanically stiffly, and spoke, her tone was full of indifference and detachment: "Lord Yi, is there something wrong?" ”

"Do you have to go?"

Qin Ying didn't answer her words, but asked rhetorically.

"I have to go!"

Jiang Chuge's expression was firm, his tone was resolute, and he obviously didn't want to give Qin Ying the slightest chance.

If you know it's wrong, you should stop your losses in time!

"Jiang Chuge!"

Qin Ying called her heavily, on her cold face, her sword eyebrows were furrowed, and there was even a trace of injury in her deep eyes.

No matter what he did, she always had only two words for him: refuse!

So, let fate make the decision.

"After you left the imperial study, my father summoned me to the palace, and you now have two choices, either to serve as a criminal officer or ...... Marry me. ”

The last three words, Qin Ying didn't know what kind of mentality she was talking about, in short, she was very bitter in her heart.

Jiang Chuge tugged at the corners of his lips, pretending not to care: "Lord Yi, you are really joking, the emperor allowed me to resign and return to the wilderness, how could I ......?"

On the way here, he even came up with the idea of leaving her in the same way as raw rice cooked rice.

But when it was time to force her, Qin Ying found that he couldn't do anything to her at all.

"If you really want to leave, I will send you out of the city early tomorrow morning...... Don't think on your own, you can't escape alone. ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Jiang Chuge alone with a lonely injured back.

Looking at him like this, Jiang Chuge felt sullen in his heart, and there were tears rolling in his eyes.

She was willing to hurt him, but she had to leave after all, and she had no choice.

After Qin Ying left, Jiang Chuge was stunned in place alone for a long time.

By the time I came back to my senses, it was already dark.

She originally planned to leave the day after tomorrow, but now she suddenly advanced, so her plan to go to the Qi Palace's Mansion tomorrow to pick up Yan Wanrong must also be advanced.

Thinking so, Jiang Chuge went to the Qi Palace's mansion overnight.

Although Qin Yiqi was not in Didu, before he left, he had specially explained to the housekeeper Handzhong that he must take care of Yan Wanrong, and if Jiang Chuge came to the palace to accompany Yan Wanrong, no matter when, he could not be stopped.

Therefore, after Jiang Chuge arrived at the Qi Palace, he was able to enter without any hindrance.

After Handzhong got the news, he hurried over and specially guided her way.

Jiang Chuge soon arrived at Beiyuan Yannuan Xiaozhu, where she lived with Yan Wanrong when she was recuperating from her injuries in the Qi Palace.

Looking back now, it all feels like it was yesterday.

"Miss Jiang, I'll retire first, and call me if you have any orders."

Bringing Jiang Chuge to his destination, Han Zhong expected that the two of them would have something to say, so they didn't stay here to be an eyesore.

After he left, before Jiang Chuge could move, a goose-yellow figure rushed out of a room on the left side of the small courtyard.

"Sister Chu'er, I miss you so much, you can be regarded as coming, I thought you didn't want me, and you didn't want to be red, woo~"

Yan Wanrong hugged Jiang Chuge, crying and laughing.

Jiang Chuge touched her head helplessly and funny, and comforted her softly: "Little Moon, why doesn't my sister want you?" My sister was just delayed by some things, you see, this time it's empty, won't I come to see you? ”
