Chapter 181 Empty

On the day of the Lantern Festival in the palace, Shangjing City was also decorated with lanterns everywhere, and the streets were full of lanterns, with a lively and festive atmosphere.

Yu Chi did not take Gu Jue with him when he went out, but took Mu Bailinfeng with him. Before leaving, he repeatedly told Linfeng to take Yu Xinrou and the others to hide in the secret room of Mo Xueju and never come out.

There were fireworks exploding in the sky, dazzling, but fleeting, and tonight was destined to be unpeaceful.

Yu Chi granted leave to all the servants and maids of Mo Xueju, and asked them to go to the Lantern Festival, and no one was left in Mo Xueju.

Gu Jue and Yu Chi said goodbye at the door of Mo Xue Jue. Yu Chi, wearing a red dress and a black fox fur coat, touched Gu Jue's face.

"Go to An Shu Pavilion."

Gu Jue raised his hand to cover his hand and nodded in response.

Mu Bai Linfeng stood behind and watched them. He looked away after just one glance and sneered.

He didn't even touch Linfeng's face just now.

Yu Chi watched Gu Jue leave, but saw that Gu Jue had just walked a few steps and then fell back.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Jue shook his head without saying anything. He held Yu Chi's face and gave a light kiss between Yu Chi's eyebrows. Yu Chi's eyelashes trembled slightly and he heard Gu Jue say.

"See you later."

"Yes."

Mu Bailinfeng: "???"

The Lantern Festival banquet in the palace has not started yet, and many court officials have arrived with their relatives. Yu Chi only glanced at the banquet, then found a quiet corner to sit down, waiting for the banquet to begin.

His eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the room, and roughly looked at the banquet.

"Yu Chi, the divine doctor."

Yu Chi paused with his hand holding the wine glass, and turned around to find that the person who called him was an old man with completely white hair. Although he was old, the murderous aura on this old man was not diminished at all.

His back was straight, and he didn't look old at all.

Yu Chi knew him, a veteran of three dynasties, a founding general Jiang Qun, and also the grandfather of Jiang Xinian.

This man is a real hero who has spent his entire life on the battlefield, fighting for the peace and prosperity of the country.

Yu Chi stood up and saluted respectfully to Jiang Qun.

"Old General Jiang."

Jiang Qun held Yu Chi's hand and helped him up.

"I came here to thank the miracle doctor for saving Xinian."

When Jiang Xinian disappeared, he sent his men to search the Xuan Dynasty almost everywhere, but they could not find any news about Jiang Xinian.

Unexpectedly, a year later, Jiang Xinian came back, with injuries all over his body, and an extremely weak Jiang Si, and secretly returned to Shangjing and the general's mansion at night.

The first thing Jiang Xinian did after returning was to kneel in front of Jiang Qun and the others, saying that he was unfilial, missing for a year, and made his father, mother, and grandfather worried.

When she said this, there were bruises on her face and the corners of her mouth. She looked fragile and pitiful, which broke Jiang Qun's heart.

Jiang Chao also had a son, who later joined the army and had not been home for a long time. Jiang Xinian was his younger sister, and Jiang Qun liked this girl especially.

Because this girl had been happy and lively since she was young, and she was particularly well-behaved when she laughed, which could always soften Jiang Qun's heart.

He never thought that the child he held in his hands would suffer such a serious injury one day in the territory of Xuan Dynasty that he was guarding.

Jiang Xinian narrated to them what had happened in the past year in a concise and concise manner. There was little emotion on her face when she spoke, as if her heart was dead.

At that moment, Jiang Qun hated everything, hated himself, and hated Xuan Dynasty.

He was thinking, why?

Why did he risk his life to defend the borders of the country and the people of Xuan Dynasty, but in the end, it was the people of Xuan Dynasty who harmed his granddaughter like this.

Jiang Qun wanted Jiang Xinian to stay at home and cultivate herself, but Jiang Xinian was unwilling. She said,

"Grandfather, I am the daughter of a general and I can't escape the poisonous hands. How can those ordinary girls protect themselves?"

In the end, Jiang Qun gave Jiang Xinian a hundred people at Jiang Xinian's request, and listened to Jiang Xinian's words and broke off the engagement with the Xiao family.

Jiang Xinian said that she had decided to go far away and the date of her return was uncertain, so she would not delay Xiao Yunfeng.

As for Jiang Si, Jiang Qun acknowledged him as a member of the Jiang family and even set up a tablet for Jiang Si in the Jiang family.

Jiang Si searched for Jiang Xinian for a year and nearly died. Even though he was not human, Jiang Qun was grateful for his affection.

He did think that those who were not of his kind must have different hearts, but he no longer felt that way because of the precedent of Jiang Si.

As for Jiang Xinian's savior, Jiang Qun had some vague impressions. He seemed to have heard of this name at a palace banquet one year. It was not

until Jiang Xinian reminded him that it was the person who used to follow the seventh prince Gu Wuhui that Jiang Qun remembered that there seemed to be a period of time when there was indeed a person following the seventh prince, and it seemed that she was a beauty.

He had not planned to come to this Lantern Festival banquet, but when he heard that the miracle doctor Yu Chi would also attend the banquet, he changed his mind.

In any case, the man saved Jiang Xinian, and as Jiang Xinian's grandfather, he should thank him in person.

Yu Chi chuckled at Jiang Qun's thanks.

"It's just a coincidence that I encountered an injustice. General Jiang, you don't need to be polite."

Jiang Qun added, "Secondly, it was you who asked Xinian to deliver the letter to me. I promised and have already prepared everything according to the letter, Yu Chi, the divine doctor."

At this point, Jiang Qun suddenly straightened his face.

"But you can't do anything that harms the Xuan Dynasty."

Yu Chi shook his head: "General Jiang, you can rest assured. I just want fairness."

Jiang Qun: "It's true that we should have fairness."

Yu Chi and Jiang Qun were talking about something, and Mu Bailinfeng was confused. He understood the first part, but not the second part.

When the palace banquet was about to begin, Gu Wuhui arrived late, together with Concubine Wan, and Yu Hexi followed Concubine Wan.

Gu Wuji had already arrived, and when Concubine Wan came, his eyes fell on Concubine Wan first, pursed his lips, glanced at Gu Wuhui again, and then lowered his head and stopped looking.

In addition to the Empress and Concubine Wan, there was another person who came to the Lantern Festival banquet, Gu Wuji's mother, the lady from Miaojiang.

As soon as she appeared, her eyes were fixed on Gu Wuji. Seeing him lower his head, she snorted coldly and her eyes fell on Concubine Wan.

When Gu Wuhui passed by Yu Chi, he made eye contact with Yu Chi and nodded to each other.

A sharp voice was heard shouting loudly.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone at the banquet bowed and saluted.

"Long live the Emperor."

The Emperor sat down on the high seat and waved his hand.

"My dear ministers, please stand up."

Then, the banquet began, fine wine was served, and there was singing and dancing in the hall, a lively and joyful scene.

The queen took out a pair of jade ruyi as a gift, which attracted the young ladies from all families to show off their talents, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Yu Chi was a little bored, and his eyes fell on Gu Wuyuan. He saw Gu Wuyuan explaining something to the people around him, and he was holding a wine pot in his hand, so he beckoned.

"Mu Bai."

Mu Bailinfeng leaned over to him and took the wine pot from him.

Yu Chi: "???"

Mu Bailinfeng: "Aren't you going to give it to me to drink?"

He poured it into his own mouth.

Yu Chi rolled his eyes.

"Come here."

Mu Bailinfeng lowered his head and moved to Yu Chi's side. Yu Chi raised his hand to cover his lips, whispered a few words in his ear, and asked him.

"Do you understand?"

Mu Bailin nodded, put down the wine pot and left. Yu Chi stared at the wine pot and raised his hand to take it, and he made a light "tsk" sound.

It's empty.
