Shan Jiangfei put down his pen and waited for the ink to dry.
"I am going on a long journey, and my return date is uncertain. If I don't return within three months, we will proceed as we agreed."
His Majesty was always away on a long journey, and he had heard these words a thousand times before, but this time seemed different from the others.
Shan Jiangfei paused and asked, which was rare.
"Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"As long as there is a place where I can save her, I will go and see it."
He stared at the ink stain that was gradually taking shape, and there was a suppressed tremor in his voice.
"Your Majesty...will you come back?"
This time, the emperor did not answer.
At this moment, there was some noise outside the house, it was Ding Weixiang's voice.
"Your Majesty is inside, you can't go in."
"I'm here to look for your majesty..."
Hao Bai was still arguing about something when suddenly someone in the room spoke.
"Let him in."
The doctor in white hurried into the room, and when he saw the man's figure, his calves began to tremble involuntarily.
"Just because I won't hold you accountable doesn't mean I want to see you now."
God bless him, he didn't want to see the emperor at this time. If he hadn't waded into this muddy water, he might still be a happy and idle doctor in a small border town.
Hao Bai tried hard to hide his sad face and whispered.
"My great-grandfather just wrote to me, and I have something for you to pass on to Your Majesty."
The person in the gauze tent paused for a moment, then waved his hand. Shan Jiangfei glanced at Hao Bai, put away the booklet, and stood up to leave.
"Go on."
The doctor in white stepped forward and repeated it word for word.
"Although Miss Xiao's heart meridians are severed, she is still breathing due to the divine blood mixed with her wounds. Your Majesty has a month to try and reach the northwest highlands."
"Northwest? Who are you looking for?"
"Looking for the descendants of the Qu family." Hao Bai paused here, realizing the strangeness in his words. He hesitated for a moment before whispering, "She, she is actually no longer considered a member of the Qu family. My great-grandfather hasn't seen her for many years. She even refused to tell me her name, only saying that she is a descendant of the Qu family."
The emperor did not want to pursue this inexplicable explanation any further, and his voice remained cold.
"Even the Patriarch of the Qu family is helpless, what else can this person do?"
"I don't know. My great-grandfather only said that if there was only one person in the world who could save Miss Xiao, it might be her. But..."
"Just what?"
"But she is on the Gelet Plateau, which is the territory of Xuancheng. If you want to find her, Your Majesty can only take Miss Xiao with you. The north is bitterly cold and the journey is long..."
"Scorching summers and bitter winters, traveling thousands of miles, are better than every moment sitting here." The figure behind the curtain smiled calmly and gently took the calloused hands of the woman lying on the couch. "It's just right for the two of us. Whether the road ahead is bumpy or not, life or death, I will have no regrets."
