Chapter 425 Reviewing the Imperial Edict
Qian Zexi was really in a dilemma now. He had been an official for many years and had done so many tasks, but this was the most difficult one. Moreover, Su Hanchu had mentioned the 200,000 troops of Baise City many times. If this went wrong, he would not be able to leave Baise City.
"Lord City Lord, after all, Emperor Tianyuan is Young Master Jun's uncle. When His Majesty heard that Young Master Jun was suffering from an old injury, he wanted to take him back to the Imperial City to have the best imperial physician treat him. I know that Baise City is not bad, but Tianyuan is a big country after all, and there are countless famous doctors in the Imperial City. Our Majesty is also doing this for Young Master Jun's own good. Even if it is for the sake of Young Master Jun's health, please allow Young Master Jun to return to the Imperial City with me."
Su Hanchu was unmoved by what he said and spoke politely.
"Master Qian's words make sense. I will arrange for people to go to various major countries to find famous doctors. I am not short of manpower and money. If there really is a miracle doctor, inviting him to Baise City should not be a big problem."
Seeing Su Hanchu repeatedly refusing, Qian Zexi had no choice but to speak.
"Lord City Lord, I am also acquainted with Young Master Jun. It's been a long and arduous journey, but I finally made it to Baise City. You should at least let me meet him. It's up to you and Young Master Jun to decide whether to accept the imperial edict, but I must let Young Master Jun see it. Otherwise, I won't be able to report back. I believe the Lord City Lord won't make it difficult for me."
Su Hanchu smiled when he heard that.
"How could I possibly embarrass Lord Qian? It's lunchtime now, so I'll invite Lord Qian to have lunch with me and meet the person he wants to see."
Changqiu Palace in the City Lord's Mansion.
A maid came quickly.
"Sir, the city lord is coming with a man."
Jun Moye, who was playing chess, put down the chess piece in his hand when he heard this.
"Forget it. Playing chess alone is boring. Put it away."
Then he walked into the inner room and lay down on the bed naturally.
Su Hanchu brought Qian Zexi in and asked the maid guarding outside.
"How are you today, sir?"
The maid bowed and spoke respectfully.
"In reply to the Lord City Lord, the young master has been awake for an hour and had a bowl of porridge for breakfast, but he said he felt tired and lay down to rest again."
After saying this, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Hanchu glanced at the maid.
"Why are you hesitating? What else is going on?"
The maid spoke hurriedly.
"Lord City Lord, the young master said that he has been drinking the medicine for so long but has not felt any better. He doesn't want to drink the medicine anymore, so the young master hasn't taken his medicine this morning."
Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu frowned and spoke, his tone intimidating without being angry.
"His health depends entirely on precious medicinal herbs. How can he survive without taking medicine? Is this how you take care of my master? Go and bring the medicine."
Then he walked towards the inner room.
Qian Zexi and Su Hanchu came to the inner room and saw Jun Moye lying on the bed.
Su Hanchu walked forward and sat beside the bed, speaking with concern.
"Aye, how are you feeling today?"
Jun Moye spoke tiredly.
"Just like every day, I feel very tired."
Su Hanchu reached out to support him and spoke, taking a pillow for him to lean on.
"I heard from the maid that you haven't taken your medicine yet. Why not? Is it because the medicine is too bitter? Didn't the maids who take care of you know to prepare candied fruit for you? I will punish them later."
Jun Moye spoke weakly after hearing this.
"It has nothing to do with the maid. I just don't want to drink it myself. Haven't I drunk enough medicine in the past two years? But look at me now. I'm useless."
The tone was a bit decadent, and people couldn't help but feel sympathy when they heard it.
Suddenly, Jun Moye seemed to see Qian Zexi.
"This is him, he looks familiar to me."
Su Hanchu finally seemed to react.
"I came in and took care of you. This is Master Qian from Tianyuan Imperial City."
Jun Moye glanced at Qian Zexi weakly.
"So it's Master Qian. I was wondering why he looked so familiar."
Qianze looked at Jun Moye calmly.
His face was as pale as paper, without any blood, as if all his vitality had been drained away. Was he really seriously injured?
"Qian Zexi greets Master Jun."
Jun Moye raised his hand weakly with a polite smile on his face.
"Master Qian, you are too polite. Master Qian is a high-ranking official of Tianyuan. How can I be worthy of your courtesy?"
Qian Zexi spoke hurriedly after hearing this.
"No matter when, the people of Tianyuan must bow respectfully when they see Master Jun. After all, the Emperor still cares about you. What's more, Master Jun, you have made great contributions in the battle in the northwest. The Emperor is still waiting for you to return to the Imperial City to confer a title on him."
Jun Moye shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"Master Qian, please don't make fun of me. With my current broken body, I'm lucky to be alive for even one day. What's more, I've already married into Baise City. Now my comings and goings depend on the Lord City Lord's wishes."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zexi looked at Jun Moye and was about to say something else.
Caiyue came in with a bowl of medicine.
"City Lord, the Lord's medicine."
Su Hanchu raised his hand to take it.
"Aye, drink today's medicine first. Don't worry about your health. No matter what happens, I will stay by your side. I have also ordered people to go to various countries to find famous doctors. I don't believe I can't save your life if I gather all the famous doctors in the world."
Jun Moye looked at the bowl of medicine in front of him with bitter eyes.
Finally, under Su Hanchu's hopeful eyes, he opened his mouth and drank the medicine. Su Hanchu patiently fed him one spoonful at a time. After feeding him a bowl of medicine, he took the handkerchief handed to him by Caiyue and wiped the medicine stains on the corners of his mouth with care. Then he took the candied fruit brought by Caiyue and fed it to him.
"I know this medicine is bitter and hard to drink, but your body needs it to thrive. Just think of it as my sake and drink it well."
Qian Zexi watched the interaction between the two and spoke with pursed lips.
"The City Lord and Young Master Jun are truly a loving couple. It's truly enviable."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke when he heard this.
"Gu and Aye have been together all the way, supporting each other and sharing weal and woe. This can be considered a deep and lasting relationship."
Then he looked at Qian Zexi.
"Doesn't Lord Qian have an imperial edict to show Young Master Jun?"
Qian Zexi sighed inwardly upon hearing this. Well, there was no way to announce this imperial edict. People would only take a few glances at it at most. But now he had no choice but to act as if he had suddenly remembered something.
"Look at my memory, Master Jun. The Emperor has an imperial decree for you."
Upon hearing this, Jun Moye hurriedly stood up.
"It's Tianyuan's imperial edict. I'll get up and receive it right away."
Su Hanchu held his hand.
"Aye, you are the Lord of Baise City. Baise City is not affiliated with Tianyuan. Just take a look at this imperial edict."
Seeing this, Caiyue was already perceptive enough to step forward and reach out to take the imperial edict from Qian Zexi's hand.
"Master Qian."
The meaning is self-evident.
