Su Muxi was worried about Su Xing and wanted to go to Jinzhou to see him in person.

She was still reluctant to go with Qiao Ziming.

Qiao Ziming is like a self-righteous, oblivious leech.

Even though they don't usually see each other, Qiao Ziming would occasionally show up to annoy her. The journey to Jinzhou would take almost half a month, and she didn't know how Qiao Ziming would annoy her.

Another issue is that we haven't received accurate information about the situation in Fukang County yet. Now that she's pregnant, her body no longer belongs to just her.

She must protect herself and her child.

She kept her pregnancy a secret, so Ye Jingchun sent her and Qiao Ziming to Fukang County just to annoy Ye Zeyu…

No matter what, Ye Zeyu is Ye Jingchun's biological son. Why can't Ye Jingchun stand to see Ye Zeyu doing well?!

Meanwhile, Qiao Ziming, who was handling official business at the Ministry of Revenue, was stunned when he suddenly received the Emperor's decree and remained frozen in place for a long time.

The Emperor ordered him to go to Jinzhou with Su Muxi?

What does this mean?

Is he dissatisfied with Su Muxi as his daughter-in-law?

"Lord Qiao, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and accept the imperial decree! Are you dissatisfied with the Emperor's order?"

The eunuch delivering the imperial decree spoke up to remind him.

Qiao Ziming quickly came to his senses and kowtowed to accept the imperial decree.

"Your subject accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude!"

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Highness should indeed thank His Majesty for his great favor. There aren't many young people who can be remembered by the Emperor. This is an opportunity that His Majesty has specially given you to gain experience!"

Qiao Ziming nodded in agreement, but what pleased him was not the opportunity for experience given to him by the Emperor, but the fact that the Emperor had asked him to go to Jinzhou with Su Muxi.

The thought of traveling with Su Muxi and spending every day with her filled Qiao Ziming with immense excitement.

Zheng Yi, who also received the imperial edict, wore a mournful expression.

The glamorous world of the capital is so wonderful; he has no desire to go to a remote place like Ganzhou.

Moreover, we don't even know what that Celestial Immortal Sect is. What if there's any danger?

Upon receiving the imperial edict, Zheng Yi went directly to the Ministry of Justice to plead with Zhen Lin.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lin angrily pointed at Zheng Yi and shouted, "Nonsense! This is the Emperor's favor to you, how can you refuse!"

You're already so old, yet you spend your days doing nothing in the capital. This is such a great opportunity, can't you make your father proud?!

Do you want to be a spoiled brat for the rest of your life?!

Zheng Yi wanted to say that there was nothing wrong with being a playboy, but seeing Zheng Lin's furious expression, he could only obediently shut up and go back to the mansion to pack his luggage.

After Zheng Yi left, Zheng Lin instantly dropped his previous disappointed expression and became extremely gloomy.

He knew that the Emperor's sending his son to Ganzhou was not for any so-called training, but to take his son's life!

As for the reason, it is probably because the Emperor heard the news that Bai Mengying was still alive.

All of this was done by Qiao Xiuyuan in a dirty way, so Qiao Xiuyuan has to figure out a solution!

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xiuyuan's solution was to have Ye Zeyu accompany him to Ganzhou and have Ye Zeyu lead a team to wipe out the local Heavenly Immortal Sect.

Zheng Lin grabbed Qiao Xiuyuan by the collar and said angrily, "Are you crazy! I asked you to find a way to save my son, not to push him into a fire pit!"

If troops are sent directly to wipe them out, those people from the Celestial Immortal Sect will surely resort to desperate measures, and his son will be in grave danger.

But Qiao Xiuyuan said calmly, "Brother Zheng, don't worry. With Ye Zeyu with you, your son will definitely be safe."

The Emperor's meaning was clear: he wanted to teach us a lesson. If Ye Ziyu hadn't been with us, your son would surely have died at the hands of those people from the Heavenly Immortal Sect.

But if Ye Ziyu were with him, things would be different.

After Qiao Xiuyuan's reminder, Zheng Lin gradually loosened his grip and understood Qiao Xiuyuan's intention in having Ye Zeyu follow along.

On the surface, the Emperor would certainly want Ye Zeyu to protect his son, but in reality, he would secretly plot against him.

If anything happens to his son, Ye Zeyu will be held responsible.

Therefore, Ye Ziyu will definitely do everything in his power to protect his son.

Ye Zeyu is the God of War of Qi, capable of commanding the entire Xuanwu Army, and naturally has the ability to protect his son.

Therefore, sending Ye Zeyu to lead a team to wipe out the Heavenly Immortal Sect was indeed a way to save his son.

Can…

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to! You just want to use my son as a pretext to sow discord between the Emperor and Prince Yong'an!"

But don't forget, the places your son went to were even more dangerous than the places my son went to!

Be careful not to die of illness far from home!

Qiao Xiuyuan straightened his collar and looked at Zheng Lin with a faint smile, "Brother Zheng, don't worry, with Xi'er with you, my son will definitely be safe and sound."

"Hmph! Don't worry!" Zheng Lin snorted and turned to leave.

Since things have come to this, there is no other way. We should think about how to persuade the Emperor to allow Ye Zeyu to go to Ganzhou with his son at the morning court tomorrow.

However, it would be best to get off Qiao Xiuyuan's pirate ship as soon as possible.

To avoid being implicated and ending up like the Bai family.

Ye Zeyu, unaware that Qiao Xiuyuan had his eye on him, returned to the capital from the military camp overnight after learning that the emperor wanted Su Muxi to go to Jinzhou with Qiao Xiuyuan.

"Xi'er!"

Su Muxi had just gotten into bed when Ye Zeyu suddenly barged in.

She asked in surprise, "Why are you back?"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Zeyu pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Xi'er, I will go to see the Empress Dowager first thing tomorrow morning. Once she learns that you are pregnant, she will surely persuade Father to rescind the decree!"

Su Muxi guessed the reason why Ye Zeyu suddenly returned to the capital, but after hearing Ye Zeyu's worried words, she suddenly felt that the trip to Jinzhou was not so scary after all.

She reached out and hugged Ye Zeyu back, tentatively asking, "Ye Zeyu, what if I said I want to go to Jinzhou?"

After a long silence, Ye Ziyu looked down and stared directly into Su Muxi's eyes. "If you want to go, I will do everything in my power to protect you."
