Chapter 421 Prelude
Emperor Tianyuan glanced at him.
"Tell me, is there any result that I cannot accept?"
Ren Jinzhou sighed with a sad look on his face.
"Alas, Your Majesty, the battle in the northwest was brutal. The fields were littered with corpses, blood flowed like rivers, and the remains were mutilated. Two mountains were filled with the remains of the fallen soldiers. Those who survived were left with broken bodies and severe injuries, including Jun Moye. He was unconscious at the time, and the doctor said that even if he woke up, his life span would be shortened.
Although the Qin Palace made a big mistake, Jun Moye was raised by you, Your Majesty, and you are always kind. I am afraid that you will be sad if you know this."
Emperor Tianyuan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
"Life span damaged?"
Ren Jinzhou nodded upon hearing this.
"Yes, the doctor said it would be difficult for him to live past 30 and that he needed to be well taken care of. After he woke up, I personally went to see him and he looked quite tired. Jun Moye said that he participated in the battle in the northwest because the late emperor cared about the northwest the most during his lifetime, so since he was in the northwest, he had to defend it.
When I saw him wake up, I was ready to report his deeds to the emperor. After all, he is still the emperor's nephew, and it is up to the emperor to decide whether to reward or punish him. However, Jun Moye said that his body had been badly damaged after the battle in the northwest, and he was afraid that he would not be able to serve the emperor in the future.
I was also afraid that Your Majesty would be worried if you knew, so I begged you not to report it. "Serious injuries mean you won't live past thirty. I was heartbroken to hear that, let alone your uncle. So, for the sake of Your Majesty's health, I didn't mention this matter."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianyuan grabbed a memorial from the table and smashed it down.
"How dare you! You've already said that, no matter what, he's my nephew. He's performed great service, and we should fight him back to the Imperial City. Even if he's seriously injured, there are so many excellent doctors in the Imperial City, and at worst, there are the imperial physicians in the palace. If you keep this secret, how will the world view me?"
He let the memorial from Jinzhou upstream fall on him and continued to apologize.
"I was foolish. I was worried that Your Majesty would be upset if you knew. I also thought about bringing Jun Moye back with me when I returned to the Imperial City. After all, there are good doctors in the Imperial City. But when I went to visit the Jun family, Jun Moye and his wife had already left for the northwest."
Emperor Tianyuan spoke in a deep voice.
"Leaving the Northwest? Why did you leave?"
Ren Jinzhou spoke hurriedly.
"I made some inquiries and learned that Madam Jun was unwilling to see Jun Moye live to only thirty, so she sold her family property and took Jun Moye to look for famous doctors. Hearing this news, I was heartbroken and didn't know how to tell His Majesty.
"For the past two years, I have been sending people to inquire about their whereabouts, hoping to report to Your Majesty once I have found them. However, the world is so vast that I have not been able to find them. I am incompetent, and I ask Your Majesty to punish me."
Emperor Tianyuan remained silent, his face stern and expressionless.
Ren Jinzhou also remained kneeling in a respectful posture.
After a long time, Emperor Tianyuan slowly spoke.
"You do deserve a punishment. If you hadn't concealed the truth, Jun Moye would have returned to the Imperial City long ago, and his injuries might have healed. I'll fine you half a year's salary."
Upon hearing this, Ren Jinzhou kowtowed hurriedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity."
In the carriage of Li Mansion.
Lin Hanzhi leaned back in the carriage, supporting her head.
Fuzhi took out a piece of paper and spoke in a low voice next to her ear.
"lady."
Lin Hanzhi took the note and took a look.
It was just written on it.
Met Song, Ren
Lin Hanzhi sneered.
Sure enough, he is very suspicious.
Fortunately, I received my sister's letter in advance and communicated with both the Song and Ren families, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Fuzhi, how is Ningshuang now?"
Fuzhi spoke softly.
"She's doing odd jobs in the palace's flower room. The palace has many rules and regulations, and they are very strict. We can only send her into the palace. What happens next is up to her."
Lin Hanzhi looked thoughtful.
"Sister is coming back. We can't delay any longer. Fuzhi, I have to pave the way for Sister. I can't let Sister come back with every step difficult. In two days, bring the peonies that the Queen loves, and also the star-picking flowers we cultivated. We will go see the Queen Mother first, and then pay our respects to the Queen."
White City.
Su Hanchu looked at Ping'er and Jiang Like in front of him.
"You have all been by my side for the past few years. If my prediction is correct, it won't be long before you and I are recalled to the Imperial City of Tianyuan. I now have an important mission for you."
Jiang Li Ke and Ping'er looked at each other and immediately bowed.
"Please give your orders, Master."
Su Hanchu spoke slowly after hearing this.
"In recent years, you two have become capable of standing on your own two feet. We need to return to the Imperial City and support the Baise Army. Only when the rear is stable can I and the young master focus on planning in the Imperial City. I want you two to lead the convoy to Dayan and start developing shops in the city closest to Baise City, and then expand the shops to Yanjing, Dayan, as soon as possible."
Ping'er spoke with some disappointment after hearing this.
"Master, are you going to the Imperial City without me?"
Seeing her lost look, Su Hanchu reached out to her.
Hold Ping'er's hand.
"Silly girl, I also want to take you with me. I've long been accustomed to having you around, but you and Jiang Like are the people I trust the most in recent years. I can only feel at ease if I leave the development of Dayan to you."
Jiang Like immediately bowed.
"Master, I dare to guess that you and Master Jun want to understand the situation in Dayan."
Su Hanchu nodded slightly.
"If Tianyuan falls into civil unrest, it will easily attract the covetousness of other countries. Baise City is now seen as a piece of fat meat by some people, so we also need to grasp some information from other countries and push them when appropriate. The more muddy the water, the better. Besides, the account between me and the King of Yan must be settled sooner rather than later."
Jiang Like bowed solemnly.
"I understand. Master, please rest assured that Ping'er and I will open a shop in Dayan as soon as possible."
Su Hanchu continued speaking after hearing this.
"He Jiuzhou's escort agency will cooperate with you in the early stages. If you need anything, just let me know."
And in Jun Moye's study.
He Jiuzhou, He Jiuxin and Zhou Sui'an bowed to Jun Moye.
"Young Master."
Jun Moye looked at the few people and spoke.
"How's the selection process for the escort agency going?"
He Jiuzhou continued to bow.
"In reply to your question, sir, I have gone through a rigorous screening process and have currently selected two hundred men. I and He Jiuxin have personally tested their martial arts skills and found that these two hundred men are all very capable fighters, and more than a dozen of them are also very smart."
