Before entering the palace, Ji Yanli deliberately took out the prepared money bag from his sleeve and handed it to his father-in-law who came to the mansion to inform him, "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li."

"Hey, what's General Ji's intention?" As he spoke, Eunuch Li pushed Yin Liang back without a trace, "General Ji, what do you need this old slave for?"

Having worked in the palace for many years, Eunuch Li knew that with Ji Yanli's status, there was no need to do so, unless...

Ji Yanli smiled and said, "Elder-in-law, you don't have to be so careful, it's just a trivial matter. Before going out, I specifically told my wife to make a few more appetizers at noon, which will be useful when I return home with my elder brother. No, I'll meet you later." I don’t know how long I’m going to chat with the emperor, if my elder brother returns first, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for me to look for him, and I’ll trouble my father-in-law to find my elder brother after half a cup of tea and ask him to wait for me outside the palace gate , come back home with me."

Saying that, Ji Yanli put the money bag back into Eunuch Li's hands.

Seeing that this is just a trivial matter, Eunuch Li can not only sell General Ji's favor but also get money, he weighed the purse in his hand, and said with a smile on his face, "General Ji is really polite, such a trivial matter, Mr. The slave is naturally willing to serve the general."

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the palace, Eunuch Zhang took him to meet the emperor.

Ji Yanli bowed to the emperor, "My minister kowtows to the emperor!"

"Ji Aiqing, please get up quickly." The emperor helped Ji Yanli up, "I asked you to come here today because I need you to go secretly to complete for me."

Ji Yanli lowered her head and said, "The humble minister is panicked, the emperor can tell the humble minister to do so."

"Aiqing also knows about the strange disease in Minjiang area two months ago. Aiqing seems to have contracted that strange disease after returning from there?"

A thought flashed through Ji Yan's heart, could the emperor be suspicious of him pretending to be sick?

But he said, "Yes, but Doctor Zhang's ingenious hand rejuvenation has cured Wei Chen well." After thinking for a while, he said, "I heard earlier that the epidemic in the Minjiang River area has been brought under control, Your Majesty... what happened today? Are you bringing this up again?"

Speaking of this, the emperor's face showed a trace of grief, "I came to you today because of this matter. Although I claimed that the strange disease in the Minjiang area has been cured, it is not the case. The strange disease in the Minjiang area has not only disappeared If it is controlled, it tends to spread to other counties and counties, causing panic among the people in the surrounding counties and counties."

"This..." Ji Yanli was a little surprised, the emperor actually kept such a big matter a secret, and few people in the court knew about it.

"Ji Aiqing, this matter is of great importance. I am also afraid that the news that the Minjiang people have not been cured for so long will spread, and the people will be frightened in vain." Speaking of this, the emperor sighed, "The strange disease of the people in Minjiang is not getting worse every day. I am really worried about the proper treatment."

Ji Yanli quickly echoed, "Yes, this matter is of great importance. If it gets out, it may disturb the hearts of the people."

"A few days ago, the soldiers stationed on the Minjiang River responded that the suffering people in the Minjiang River had clashed with the soldiers stationed there. They seemed to think that the imperial court had abandoned them and fought the soldiers stationed there. After hearing this, I was very heartbroken."

Ji Yanli boasted again, "The Emperor loves his son like a commoner. This is something that the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty all know. Those people must be in a hurry to say such nonsense. The Emperor does not need to take it seriously."

The emperor nodded his head lightly, and continued to say, "I mentioned this to Prime Minister An a few days ago, and Prime Minister An suggested that I can send a trustworthy person to bring a few people from the Imperial Hospital and a small group of soldiers to Go." Speaking of this, the emperor specifically emphasized "a trustworthy person" and glanced at Ji Yanli, "Not only can he support the soldiers of Minjiang, but he can also tell the people of Minjiang that the imperial court has not given up on them."

When Ji Yanli heard it, he remembered that Xiao Mu told him that Xiao Ruohan and Prime Minister An were secretly plotting recently, so it turned out that he had already set a trap for me and came after me.

The emperor's words have reached this point, Ji Yanli understood, knelt down cooperatively, and said, "If the emperor trusts me, I am willing to go to Minjiang River."

"Ji Aiqing please hurry up, of course I can trust you, Aiqing." After finishing speaking, he helped Ji Yanli up, and said regretfully, "Actually, I don't want you to go, you and Yun Yuan just got married yesterday ...It's just that I don't trust many people, and Prime Minister An persuaded you to suffer from that disease and was cured by Zhang Tai, if you go with Zhang Tai, you will be able to help the doctor in Minjiang to cure the strange disease as soon as possible."

"Yes." Ji Yanli asked, "When will the minister leave?"

"Tomorrow!" The emperor said again, "I transferred you on the grounds that I sent you to the border to transport grain and grass. I hope that General Ji will never tell anyone about this matter, even if it is General Ji's family."

"Wei Chen understands."

Suddenly, Eunuch Zhang came in and said, "Your Majesty, Captain Ji is out to see you!"

"Captain Ji?" The emperor took a special look at Ji Yanli before saying, "Xuan!"

When Ji Yanli saw that his eldest brother was meeting with him at this time, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Since Captain Ji has something to discuss with the emperor, I will step down."

The emperor didn't stop him either, "Eunuch Zhang sent General Ji off for me."

An hour after Eunuch Li saw him, General Ji went to find Ji Qingru who was on duty before he came out, and told Ji Qingru exactly what Ji Yanli had said.

Ah Li asked this person to deliver the letter, fearing that something had happened.

Ji Qingru didn't show it on the face, and thanked Eunuch Li politely, but what he thought in his heart was that although A Li just used these words to let Eunuch Li pass the news to me, if A Li really dared to ask Yun Yuan to cook for him, See if I go back without taking his hand off.

After Eunuch Li left, Ji Qingru hurried to the Imperial Study Room to ask for an audience.

When Ji Qingru and Ji Yanli brushed past each other, they didn't seem to see each other.

Ji Qingru knelt down and saluted, "The humble minister will see the emperor!"

"Ji Duwei, please." The emperor observed the expressions of the two of them deliberately, and said, "Ji Duwei is here, what is the matter?"

Ji Qingru said in a business-like manner, "Yesterday, Prime Minister An's son, An Tan, came to the Imperial Guard to report. I... don't know how to arrange it, so I came here to invite the Pope."

The emperor also had a headache when he thought of the useless An Tan. If it wasn't for Prime Minister An, how could he have sent that kind of person into the Imperial Army, "Just transfer him to an easy place."

"Yes, I understand."

The emperor rubbed his temples, and said a little tiredly, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I have a headache and want to rest."

"promise!"

After seeing Ji Qingru leave, the emperor asked Eunuch Zhang beside him, "Did Ji Yanli go to see his elder brother before he came to see me?"

"No." Eunuch Zhang recalled and said, "As soon as General Ji entered the palace, the old slave brought him to see you."

Is it really just a coincidence? !

"What's the matter? Didn't you ask for leave? Why did the emperor call you to the palace?"

Ji Qing hurried to the gate of the palace that Ji Yanli had mentioned, and asked Ji Yanli as soon as he got into Ji's carriage.

"It's nothing, I made a fuss." Ji Yanli didn't intend to tell his elder brother that the emperor sent him to Minjiang, for fear that he would be worried, "The emperor just asked me to set off tomorrow to transport food and grass to the border guards."

"That's good!" Ji Qingru didn't doubt him, "When I heard that you asked Eunuch Li to come and look for me, I thought something serious had happened."

Ji Yanli chuckled, "I was thinking too much, which made my brother worry."

Ji Qingru felt a little emotional, "It's okay, being with the king is like being with a tiger, no one can guess what the emperor is thinking, it's better to think more than nothing."

"Yes." Ji Yanli agreed, and then changed the subject, "On the way back, I'll go to Shixianju to buy some good wine and go back. Yun Yuan and his father are still waiting for us to have dinner at home."

Thinking of Ji Yanli's words, Ji Qingru grabbed Ji Yanli's arm, "Stinky boy, you really don't want Yun Yuan to cook, do you?"

Ji Yanli broke free, dumbfounded, "Brother, how dare I!"

"you're lying!"

As soon as he returned to the west courtyard, Mo Yunyuan closed the door and said to Ji Yanli.

"Huh? What?" Ji Yanli was a little confused, not knowing why Yun Yuan said he was lying.

Mo Yunyuan looked straight at Ji Yanli, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes, "During lunch just now, you said that the emperor just sent you to escort the soldiers at the border."

After hearing this, Ji Yanli was stunned for a second, then smiled, "Yun Yuan is too worried."

"Really?" Mo Yunyuan still didn't believe it, and his voice became a little cold, "If you were only asked to escort the food and grass, why didn't you take me with you?"

"I know you don't want to part with your husband, but there's nothing you can do about it." Ji Yanli coaxed, and then explained, "How can the general bring his family with him when he goes out to fight!"

Mo Yunyuan's face was extremely cold at this moment, "So that's why he asked you to go out to fight?"

Ji Yanli realized that Mo Yunyuan was framing him just now, and he yelled helplessly, "Yunyuan~"

Mo Yunyuan had a cold face at the moment, looking at Ji Yanli and ignoring him.

Ji Yanli had no choice but to tell Mo Yunyuan the truth.

After hearing this, Mo Yunyuan was a little annoyed, "The emperor actually kept it so secret and asked you to..."

"Don't be angry!" Ji Yanli handed the teacup to Mo Yunyuan, "Minjiang's condition is still unknown, so I don't worry about you going with me."

Mo Yunyuan glared at Ji Yanli, "Yes, you don't trust me to go with you, why should I trust you to go alone! If I was sent by the emperor to Minjiang this time, I won't let you accompany me, will you agree? ?”

Ji Yanli blurted out, "No!"

Ji Yanli resigned and said, "Hey, that's enough. I will go to the emperor to ask for an order to let you go with me at night. Just don't miss out on elder brother and father."

"Don't worry, I didn't mention this in front of them just now, and I know that you are afraid that they will worry."

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

The emperor saw that Ji Yanli, who had just been summoned in the morning, appeared in front of him again, "What's the matter?"

Ji Yanli said with a serious expression, "My wife heard that I was going to the border today, crying and shouting that I can't bear to let me go, I don't want to see him like that... I feel very distressed, and I ask the emperor to issue an order to allow me to take my wife to the Minjiang River together." , I guarantee that my wife will not leak this matter."

"Nonsense!" The emperor thought that Ji Yanli was going to say something important, but in the end he came to ask for his order because of his wife, "I asked you to help the people, not to take him to visit the mountains and rivers!"

"Yes... I also know it, but I just got married with my wife... I can't bear it..."

The emperor already had a headache, but Ji Yanli's chattering made him even annoyed. He waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, I agree, step down!"

"Yes!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Ji Yanli didn't say any more, and stepped back respectfully.
