Mu Jiezhong lifted the teapot on the red clay stove and refilled the hot tea for a few people.

"Zi'an didn't see it, it's a pity." Qin Yunrong felt sorry for Yan Qi.

Su Zigu took a sip of tea, frowned when he heard the words, and said, "I went to see him yesterday, and he was very sick, and his whole person was pale. ”

Wang Quan said: "He is not a frail person, why has he been sick for so long this time?" ”

Su Zigu shook his head.

Mu Jiezhong was silent for a while and said: "In my opinion, he is sick from hard work, he usually eats and sleeps irregularly, and in recent months, he has not even gone out of the mansion, and he is only buried in the account book all day." ”

The three of them nodded in agreement: "He has worked a lot harder in the past few months, and even we rarely see him." ”

Mu Jiezhong said: "Fortunately, there is nothing to do, why don't you go and see him." ”

Several people had no objections, so they left the teahouse and went to Erhe Street.

Yan Qi had just taken the medicine and had no energy, and when he saw a few of them coming, he barely squeezed out a smile: "Sit by yourself, I won't say hello." ”

Qin Yunrong saw him leaning back in the chair, with no fresh breath in his body, and said worriedly: "Why is he sick like this?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

Baixiang glanced at Yan Qi when she heard this.

This time, Yan Qi was sick, and the imperial doctor came to see him, but he turned him away, using the doctor in the Qi family pharmacy.

It's not good at the moment, the emperor is in a hurry, and Gao Desheng has come several times.

Yan Qi smiled indifferently: "It's okay." Then he asked them, "Why are you so gathered today?" ”

Wang Quan said: "You forgot, the girl from Wanjia went out of Beijing today. ”

Yan Qi was in a trance, frowned slightly, and said, "Is it today?" ”

Thousands of people are out of Beijing, Jiang Lingran must be going to send it, why didn't she hear the news that someone came to ask her to leave the house?

Or is she so sick that she can't even get out of the house?

"Are you sick?" Wang Quan nodded and said, "Even today, the sedan chair has already left the city." ”

Yan Qi smiled helplessly: "After taking the medicine, I am groggy every day." ”

"Sui Feng is all busy in the trading house." As he spoke, he looked at Baixiang again: "This housekeeper, can someone send someone to deliver the congratulatory gift from the Wan family?" ”

Baixiang nodded and said, "I sent someone to send it early yesterday morning." ”

Yan Qi nodded.

After a few people left, Yan Qi asked Baixiang: "Didn't Jiang Lingran go to Wanjia today?" ”

Baixiang said: "The girl is sick, besides. ”

Yan Qi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and frowned nervously: "What's more? What's wrong with her? ”

Baixiang pondered the words in her heart, and said cautiously: "Besides, the girl has been separated from her." On such a day, it is not appropriate for her to go. ”

In Yan Qi's heart, he has never taken Jiang Lingran and the matter of separation to heart, and naturally feels that others don't value this.

This is not the case.

Yan Qi's face sank, and his eyes suddenly changed: "It's not appropriate for her to go!" ”

Seeing him like this, Baixiang was frightened and said, "Naturally, my subordinates don't dare to think like this!" ”

Yan Qi snorted coldly, and said in a cold tone: "It's Wanjia?!" ”

Baixiang looked at Yan Qi's appearance of destroying the Wan family, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wan Jia will not be!" ”

"Don't you know the girl's temperament? is the most empathetic, even if she is not sick, she will find other excuses to excuse herself. ”

Yan Qi didn't speak again, his expression became more and more gloomy

The send-off procession boarded the boat at the Shaling River wharf.

After the ship went offshore, Jiang Lingran dared to step out of the cabin.

The wind on the river was strong, and it was sandwiched with fine snow, and it was cut in the face like a cold knife.

Xiang Zhu walked over and said worriedly: "Girl, it's too cold on the deck, go back." ”

Jiang Lingran nodded, but did not move his feet.

Qingyu followed Jiang Lingran's line of sight, looked in the direction of the capital, and sighed lightly: "The secret of our departure, if Gongzi Qi knows about it in the future, he will definitely be in a hurry." ”

Jiang Lingran's expression froze, and then he lowered his eyebrows and chuckled.

The smile was a little mocking.

Qingyu was puzzled, so she listened to her: "I have done everything perfectly, he is so high-spirited that he doesn't say or do it to leave each other with dignity." ”

"Now that I'm leaving, he'll be happy to see it."

Qingyu saw that she was sad, and her heart was also sad.

Coupled with the melancholy of leaving home, her tears rolled in her eyes, and she sniffed and said, "The girl will definitely meet a better man than Qi Gongzi in the future." ”

Jiang Lingran still smiled, but tears fell.

No, it won't.

None of them will ever be

The next day, Jiang Ji entered the palace.

The emperor was very surprised, his leg injury was healed?

However, what is this going to do in the palace?!

Xiaofuzi arrived outside the hall and invited Jiang Ji into the hall.

Jiang Ji couldn't walk fast, but every step was as smooth as possible, so as not to lose his honor in front of the palace.

When he arrived in the palace, he knelt down and greeted the emperor.

The emperor nodded lightly and said, "Get up." ”

Jiang Ji stood up with his hands.

The emperor saw that he was standing upright, and said with a smile: "The leg injury is recovering well." ”

Jiang Ji nodded and said: "The emperor allowed the last general to recuperate from his injuries, and the last general will not dare to live up to the emperor's love." ”

The emperor nodded with a smile and quipped, "You didn't enter the palace today to let me see the recovery of your leg injury, right?" ”

Jiang Ji smiled slightly when he heard this: "The emperor said that he was laughing." Then he took out a book of folds from his bosom and presented it with both hands: "The last general is thin, and he is young, so he really can't afford to protect the nine cities, and I ask the emperor to allow the last general to return to Yangnanguan." ”

The emperor smiled and restrained.

Gao Desheng was startled, then glanced at the emperor's expression and frowned.

Jiang Ji is young, but he is rarely impetuous, and the loyalty of the generals is sufficient, compared with those soldiers, he is more upright and honest.

After getting along, he was full of the word "rest assured".

Among the generals, this point is the most valuable, which is why the emperor and the crown prince are willing to reuse him.

And Jiang Lingran's matter, the emperor did not implicate him, but now he wants to resign? !

This is not inappropriate!

Xiao Fuzi took the fold in Jiang Ji's hand and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the excerpt and then looked at him: "You have decided?" ”

Jiang Ji bowed: "Please allow the emperor." ”

The emperor put down the fold, nodded and said, "I know, you can go back and wait for news." ”

Jiang Ji said yes, kowtowed again, stood up and left.

The emperor took a sip of tea, and said with a finger: "Send it to the prince." ”

Xiaofuzi was stunned, and quickly came back to his senses, his chin should be the same, and he picked up the fold and retreated.

In the afternoon, the prince arrived at Erhe Street.

Jiang Ji frowned.

This is the news that the emperor wants him to wait!?

The prince saw that he was standing reluctantly, pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down, don't be tense in front of me." He sat down first.

Jiang Ji thanked him and sat down.

The prince took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Has the leg injury healed?" ”

Jiang Ji glanced at the prince and felt that his question was quite roundabout.

The head of the chin said: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for asking, the last general is already much better." ”

"Are you leaving?" The crown prince chuckled and said, "Father and the emperor handed me the excerpt of your resignation. ”

Jiang Ji frowned and was silent.

He couldn't understand why the emperor did this?

Isn't their departure something that the emperor is happy to see?
