Chapter 124 Return to Beijing



"Master, there's a letter from Mihe."

In the capital, an inconspicuous house.

The guard in a black robe gently knocked on the door of the deepest room in the courtyard.

The door opened, and after the person took the letter, he kicked him in the chest.

"Didn't you see the sign on the door? If you do it again, you'll be punished yourself."

After that, the door was slammed shut with a bang.

The guard, clutching his chest, finally saw the words on the sign beside the door: "Do not disturb unless summoned."

"But..." Before the guard could finish his words, he heard all kinds of smashing sounds coming from inside.

The gambling house was closed, the Blood Quenching was destroyed, and the Mi River line that the Wuxiang Sect had laid out for many years was completely broken overnight.

"Gu Qingchen, Jiang Li, you two deserve to die!"

He was not paying attention and let these two people ruin his plan. The people inside had bloodthirsty eyes.

It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, he is the one who is destined by heaven.

The man took a deep breath and clenched his back teeth.

He wants to wipe out all those who shouldn't exist.

Gu Qingchen, Jiang Li, you wait.

As for the two people who almost killed half of the people, they were already on their way back to Beijing.

"Sister, can I wait for you to leave the palace and go back to the general's mansion together?"

After knowing that Wu Youjin was hiding in the capital, everyone did not delay any further. Gu Qingchen left the secret guards in Mihe to do the final cleanup. The few of them hurried and finally returned to the capital before it snowed.

But to be honest, Jiang Zhong didn't dare to go back alone.

Apart from his parents, I'm afraid his brothers won't forgive him either.

"Third brother, you are already a mature adult." Jiang Li looked at Jiang Zhong with certainty. "Think of it this way. Thanks to your care along the way, I, your younger sister, was able to return safely. So, my parents will definitely praise you."

What his sister said seemed to make sense, but Jiang Zhong always felt something was strange. Before he could figure it out, his physical body was already standing outside the general's mansion, and the carriage had already gone far away.

At the end, Jiang Li even lifted the carriage curtain, turned around and shouted to Jiang Zhong, "Tell mother that I will go to the palace first and come to see her later. Take care, third brother."

Take care of yourself?

Why did she ask me to take care of myself? Didn't she say that my parents would praise me?

Suddenly I felt a chill.

Jiang Zhong turned his head and found that the door of the general's mansion had been opened at some point.

The heads of the four brothers appeared behind the door at the same time.

Jiang Zhong unconsciously took a half step back.

But the next moment——

"The eldest one lifts the left side, the fourth one lifts the right side, the fifth one closes the door, and retreat!"

Following Jiang Zhou's instructions, by the time Jiang Zhong came to his senses, he had been carried to a small room in the backyard with all his limbs tied up.

"Big brother, second brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, I was wrong... Please - ah -"

forecourt.

"Husband, why do I seem to hear the voice of the Third Brother?"

Xue Rou was drinking the freshly stewed snow pear soup when her hand suddenly shook.

"It's cold, you heard wrong. It must be the fourth brother who's causing trouble with them." Jiang Yao snorted coldly, "Speaking of the third brother makes me angry. Don't mention that brat to me. He knew his sister had left Beijing, but he dared to sneak away without telling us. When he comes back, I'll skin him alive!"

///

"Ari, is it okay to treat Third Brother like this?"

Gu Qingchen could even imagine Jiang Zhong's ending.

Jiang Li asked doubtfully, "Why wouldn't it be good to send someone home safely? That's so thoughtful of us."

As for what he would encounter after returning home, how could she, as his younger sister, know?

He actually dared to follow them secretly. If something unexpected happened on the way, how would she explain it to the general father and that water mother? This time, she had to teach him a lesson so that he would remember it!

Gu Qingchen observed a moment of silence for his brother-in-law.

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, Gu Qingchen took Jiang Li directly to the imperial study.

When the eunuch saw the two, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "This servant greets the prince and princess."

"Is my royal brother in there?"

The eunuch replied, "Yes, His Majesty is discussing the matter of offering sacrifices to the heaven with the Imperial Observatory."

Gu Qingchen nodded. The New Year is approaching, and the annual worship of heaven needs to be prepared in advance.

After the eunuch went in to report, the Imperial Observatory came out soon after. After paying respects to the two of them, he hurried away.

Jiang Li quietly tugged at Gu Qingchen's sleeve, "Why do I feel like the Imperial Observatory doesn't like me very much?"

Her intuition has always been accurate.

Gu Qingchen squeezed Jiang Li's hand, signaling her not to think too much.

The Imperial Observatory did not dislike her, it was just him that the Imperial Observatory disliked.

Who was it that Gu Qingchen managed to force the emperor to move up the auspicious date for their wedding, which the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had painstakingly calculated?

Seeing the two, the emperor's face lit up with joy. "You are finally back. This journey was long and arduous. I have been thinking about your safety the entire time. Even my mother has been thinking about you every day."

That’s great. Government affairs are the busiest at the end of the year. With Gu Qingchen here, he can relax!

Jiang Li's heart warmed, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have collected many precious herbs and medicinal treasures on this trip. I will take good care of you and your mother when I return."

The main thing is that I looted a lot, so I can make a lot of life-saving pills.

The emperor looked at Jiang Li and suddenly remembered that she was not only his sister-in-law, but also the supervisor of the Imperial Hospital. With her around, the Imperial Hospital's year-end examination would definitely be a success. This would be a good opportunity to make those old guys keep their heads down so that the court could be kept healthy.

Great! When the emperor thought that this couple were his right-hand men, he was so excited that he wanted to cry.

If every minister could be like them, then he, the emperor, would win without any effort.
