"Your Majesty—This is an urgent message from the Champion Marquis, sent over eight thousand miles!"

Early in the morning.

Jiang Li had just finished his training when he heard the Shadow Guard outside the door reporting quickly.

"Hmm? Do these people really dare to assassinate him in Dagan? Humph!"

Jiang Li's pretty face turned cold, she had already made her intention clear.

Is there anyone else who dares to attack Lin Che?

Was it the Zhenguo Mansion or the Yuxu Palace? Lin Che was not only the Marquis of Guanjun, but also the envoy to the Kingdom of Yanyun.

Do they even dare to assassinate the envoy so blatantly?

"Come in!"

Jiang Li did not go to the imperial study. He wiped the sweat from his forehead due to practice with a handkerchief and walked quickly to the front hall.

When she saw that the Shadow Guard was actually carrying something the size of a bucket, she couldn't help but be stunned.

No matter whether it is an express delivery of 800 miles, 3,000 miles or 10,000 miles, it is all for the simplest letter.

It contains the simplest and most important message.

Now Lin Che directly sent a wooden barrel? What did this mean?

The Shadow Guard obviously understood Jiang Li's doubts and immediately explained:

"I have confirmed this time and again. This is indeed what the Champion Marquis hurriedly brought back eight thousand miles ago. He also said he wanted Your Majesty to personally inspect it—"

The Shadow Guard paused, then asked, "Do you need me to open it and take a look first?"

"Need not."

Jiang Li walked over and opened it himself. The seal of the post station was still intact, proving that no one had opened it.

When I opened it, I found...

A plum blossom lies quietly.

Because there is actually water in the bucket, the plum branches are soaked in the water, and the whole branch still looks extremely delicate.

There are even some crystal water droplets on the petals.

Jiang Li took out the half-meter-long plum branch and looked at it for a few seconds. It seemed nothing special.

In the bucket, a small box was also pasted.

When I opened it again, there was a letter hidden in a sealed bag.

When Jiang Li saw this letter, his heart tightened slightly. A genius like Lin Che must not die young.

The envelope is opened.

Inside were Lin Che's very freehand handwriting.

Your Majesty, I am honored to see you in person.

While on a diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Yanyun, I passed through the Jiangnan region of Dagan and experienced the local customs and people. Under your Majesty's rule, the people here live and work in peace and contentment. I was so drawn to the scene that I almost decided to settle here.

Tonight, as I gazed towards Tiandu City, I happened to see a mountain covered in plum blossoms. They had endured the bitter cold, yet their fragrance was so fragrant. For a moment, I thought of Your Majesty.

[Such a beautiful sight, but unfortunately Your Majesty is so busy that you cannot come and see it in person. Therefore, I have plucked a branch of plum blossoms and sent it back to Tiandu overnight so that Your Majesty can also see the plum blossoms here.]

I have suddenly been inspired to write a poem. I hope Your Majesty will be able to offer your guidance.

[When the plum blossoms are broken, they will be sent to the people of Tiandu. 】

[I have nothing in Jiangnan, so I give you a branch of spring.]

【—————Lin Che】

Jiang Li blinked. Gone?

She turned the letter over again and found that there was no text on the back.

I really didn't know what I was feeling at that moment. It turned out that this 8,000-mile urgent journey had no military intelligence involved, nor was it an assassination attempt.

It turned out to be...

Just give her a plum blossom and write her a poem.

This bastard.

What is he going to do?

Humph

Jiang Li wanted to be angry, but after taking a look at the plum blossom and carefully reading the poem again, he couldn't get angry anymore.

You know, if other ministers dared to make fun of her like this, she would send them directly to the Heavenly Prison.

"boring--"

Jiang Li threw the letter on the table, feeling a little angry, and simply got up to wash up.

It was a false alarm.

She didn't even have time to wash up before she came to see this urgent matter that had traveled eight thousand miles.

After washing up, she came back and found that the Shadow Guard was still waiting.

The Shadow Guard asked, "Your Majesty, does the letter need to be sent to the Ministry of War?"

Under normal circumstances, urgent messages sent over eight thousand miles are all military intelligence from the Ministry of War, and His Majesty will choose to send them to the Ministry of War after reading them.

That's why the Shadow Guard asked this question.

"No, that's all..."

Jiang Li glanced at the letter and the plum branch on the table, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and finally went to the morning court.

After the morning court session ended, Jiang Li came back and found that the plum blossom was still quietly placed on the table.

In her room, the maid would not touch anything without her special instructions.

The sunlight came in from the window and fell on the table. The originally delicate plum blossoms had lost a lot of moisture.

Jiang Li reached out and picked up the plum blossom, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Someone come—"

"His Majesty!"

"Go and ask the farmer... Never mind, go find a hoe. Come with me to the Imperial Garden."

Jiang Li gave an order and went to the back garden with the plum branch.

Arriving at the back garden, she chose a spot, ordered the Shadow Guard to dig a shallow hole, and planted the plum blossom with her own hands.

"Tell the spiritual guardian of the back garden to take good care of this plum tree. Don't let it die."

"yes……"

The Shadow Guard answered respectfully, and subconsciously looked in the other direction of the Imperial Garden.

Isn't there a plum blossom forest over there? Why is there a plum blossom planted here?

Is there anything special about it?

However, judging by the expression on His Majesty's face, he was in a good mood. He even smiled at the plum blossoms.
