Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

A few days later, the imperial edict was issued to Yuzhou, and Cui Qiyan was ordered to escort Yan Chao and Liu Zhengping back to Beijing. Master Huang continued to preside over the government affairs of Yuzhou.

Cui Qiyan was leaving the next day, and everything else was easy to talk about, except that Yunling's leg had just been reattached, so it would be inappropriate to go back with him during this trip.

After thinking about it at night, he came to Yunling's room.

"You're leaving tomorrow?" For Yunling, the news was a bit sudden.

"Ji Bai and I will go back first, and you can stay here to recuperate in peace. I will say hello to Yi Cheng and ask him to find a mother-in-law to take care of you." Cui Qiyan had already arranged everything for her.

"When will this slave return to Beijing?"

"When I finish taking care of things over there and your legs can withstand the bumps on the road."

That is to say, the return date has not yet been determined, so Yunling accepted the arrangement calmly, "I understand, this slave."

After finally connecting her legs, she didn't want to make another mistake. Besides, he has important things to do, and her following him will only hinder their schedule. This arrangement is good for them all.

Cui Qiyan walked to the door and turned back, "We will set off early tomorrow morning. I will give Yi Cheng some money. Whatever you want or what you want to eat, just tell him. If something happens, you can also ask someone to invite Master Huang. help."

This means that we won't see each other again before leaving tomorrow. Yunling nodded, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, take care of yourself along the way."

"It's only two or three days' journey..." Cui Qiyan said this, met her eyes and paused slightly, "I understand, you should rest early."

After leaving the room, Cui Qiyan found Yi Cheng and explained the matter to him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cui, I will definitely take good care of the girl."

Yi Cheng changed his story and learned Cui Qiyan's true identity.

, the attitude became more and more respectful.

"You have eliminated corrupt officials for us Yuzhou people, and you are our great benefactor."

"This matter is my duty, there is no need to mention it again." Cui Qiyan waved his hand and let him go down.

It was bright in the morning. Yunling opened her eyes and heard very light footsteps going downstairs. She sat up hugging the quilt and looked out the window, and sure enough she saw Cui Qiyan and Ji Bai leaving the inn on horseback.

Cui Qiyan seemed to feel something. He turned back and glanced here, and then the horse disappeared from Yunling's sight.

Perhaps it was because she was alone in this strange place after they left, and Yunling felt empty inside.

When Cui Qiyan came to the Yamen, Mr. Huang had already asked Yan Chao and others to be escorted into the prison car. The escorting soldiers stood neatly on both sides.

"I'll leave it to Master Cui." Master Huang bowed his hand.

Cui Qiyan returned the greeting, "Farewell."

Three days later, Cui Qiyan arrived in the capital, passed through the house without entering, and went to report to the emperor first.

After he entered the palace, the eldest lady also received the news of his return, and immediately asked Mother Wu to go to the dining room to prepare some of his favorite dishes.

Cui Qiyan returned to the mansion in the evening, changed his clothes and went to greet the old lady before going to her place.

"Father, mother, the son is back."

"Get up quickly," the eldest lady came over to help him up and looked at him carefully, "I have been out for so many days, and I have lost weight."

The eldest lady didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, but Cui Jun knew a little bit about it, especially what the governor of Yuzhou had committed. It would be no exaggeration to say that it shocked the government and the public. Cui Jun was vaguely proud when he learned that his son had found out the matter, but he remained discreet in front of him.

After taking a seat, the eldest lady again

I asked Cui Qiyan something carefully.

Cui Qiyan answered lightly, talking about the flower-picking thieves, and also mentioned the Yuzhou officials' embezzlement of tax money, ignoring the dangers involved.

Even so, the eldest lady patted her chest after hearing this, "I didn't expect that the place in Yuzhou was so chaotic. You just went to help investigate a case, but you actually got involved in such a big thing."

"By the way," the eldest lady suddenly remembered, "Why didn't Yunling come back with you?"

"Her leg was injured. The doctor said it was not advisable to travel far, so he let her recover there first."

"How did she get hurt?"

"I accidentally fell." Cui Qiyan did not tell the truth. If his mother knew that he jumped off the cliff to save Yunling, I don't know what she would think. It would be better to do less than to do more.

The eldest lady is confused. Could it be so serious if she accidentally fell?

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, "Brother, big brother--" Cui Qiyu ran in like a gust of wind and fell directly on Cui Qiyan.

Cui Qiyan frowned and pushed him away, "You are now ten years old. You are no longer a child. You must behave accordingly."

Cui Qiyu pursed his lips, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time. I miss you..."

"Okay," the eldest lady stood up, "when you are not in the house, Qiyu comes every day to ask when you will be back. If he is happy to see you, don't scold him."

Secretly, the eldest wife did not want her youngest son to grow up with the same temperament as her eldest son, who would abide by the rules and be strict. Sometimes even she finds it boring.

Mother Wu said at the right time: "Madam, the dishes are ready. Do you want to serve them now?"

"Come on," the eldest lady greeted the three of them, "Come over for dinner."

After dinner,

Cui Qiyan was pestered by Cui Qiyu for a while, and finally he personally sent him back to Xuanyu Pavilion before returning to his residence.

When Cui Qiyan was about to take a rest, everyone left.

Ji Bai and Luo Shui stepped out, and a figure suddenly appeared, startling both of them.

Meng Dong, who finally caught the man, pulled Ji Bai down the steps angrily, pinched his waist and asked, "It's so good, how could Yunling break her leg? You promised me you would take care of her before you left, but you don't keep your word!"

Ji Bai had long thought that she would come to him to settle the score, and said, "I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. It was me who broke my promise. Just take back the word 'big brother'."

"Is this something you can take back and forget about it? You liar!"

Meng Dong was angry and anxious, thinking about Yunling with tears streaming down his face, "Her leg is broken, how much pain must she have? Now she is left alone so far away, with no one around her to talk to." Woohoo...Yunling...what should I do..."

Seeing that she was crying louder and louder, Ji Bai quickly looked back and stretched out his hand to cover her mouth. Seeing how pitiful she was with tears streaming down her face, he pulled back and said helplessly: "Hey, don't cry. , letting Yunling stay there is also for her sake. Are you willing to see her come back with her leg injured? If she can't take care of her well, she will become a lame in the future..."

Before he finished speaking, Meng Dong's fist came up to greet him, "You are the cripple, you are the cripple..."

Ji Bai didn't hide away and let her vent her anger, "No, she's not a cripple. I said the wrong thing."

"Okay Meng Dong," Luo Shui pulled her away, "be careful not to disturb the prince."

Meng Dong took a few steps back and wiped the

Tears.

Luo Shui persuaded in a low voice: "We all know that you and Yunling are close, but the prince only let her stay because of her consideration, so don't be sad."

Meng Dong raised his head and asked Ji Bai, "When will Yunling come back?"

"It's... hard to say," Ji Bai said quickly when Meng Dong raised his fist again, "We have to wait until her injury is better."

Lu Yue, who had been watching from the side, stepped forward at this time, "He is right, let's wait."

Cui Qiyan stood by the window and listened to their words.
