Those days when Mrs. Yazhai

Chapter 168 4 Brothers and 5 Brothers

Hearing that Shen Qi was going back to the palace, no one on the mountain was willing to let him take risks, especially the third uncle.

"What if you don't come back when you go back at this time? You said that you disappeared and reappeared suddenly, and it happened to be when the emperor was dying. If the name in the will is not Shen, your surname Shen just went back at this time, can those ministers let you go? Shouldn't you be tied up and let you inherit the throne?"

It's not like Shen Qi didn't think about what the third uncle said.But he was more worried about He An's health than these things, so he still had to leave this trip.

The third uncle also understood that now there is no other way except for Shen Qi to go back and look for the thousand-year-old snow ginseng.So after yelling, he let go and let Shen Qi go.

Finally, the third uncle said: "Be careful in everything."

Shen Qi looked in the direction of He An's house, tried his best to hold back his tears, nodded vigorously at Third Uncle, and said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I will come back safely."

Before leaving, Chang An was silent all the time, carrying the luggage he had packed for Shen Qi in his hand and sent Shen Qi all the way down the mountain.

The carriage that Zhong Mo hired to go down the mountain ahead of time was already waiting at the bottom of the mountain.

Shen Qi took the luggage that Chang An handed over, and asked with red eyes: "Don't you want to say something to me?"

"Thank you." Chang'an said softly, "Thank you for finding medicine for He'an."

Shen Qi lowered his head and touched the jade pendant around his waist. He watched the tassels on the jade pendant stop dancing before raising his head to talk to Chang An.

"He An gave me this jade pendant, and I also brought the suit that He An gave me. I believe He An will bring me good luck, and I will be back soon."

Chang An forced a smile, rubbed Shen Qi's face lightly, and said, "If madam doesn't come back, I'll go to the imperial city to ask for someone from my uncle."

Shen Qi emphasized again: "I will come back."

Zhong Mo also wanted the two of them to talk more, but watching the time go by little by little, he was also anxious.So he couldn't help but urge Shen Qi: "If you don't leave, you will arrive at the imperial city later."

After sitting in the carriage, Shen Qi couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell on his arms drop by drop.

He wasn't sad because he didn't know if he could come back after this trip, he was afraid that before he found the medicinal materials, he and An Xian couldn't stand it anymore.

He also asked Zhong Mo this question, and Zhong Mo only told him: resign to fate.

Apart from finding the Millennium Snow Ginseng and sending it back as soon as possible, there really seems to be no other way.

Zhong Mo looked at Shen Qi who was crying silently, feeling a little distressed, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Doctor Zhuo will always keep an eye on He An, and if he gives He An the needle, He An will be fine."

Shen Qi choked with sobs and asked, "What if the needles don't work anymore?"

Zhong Mo stretched out his hand and patted Shen Qi's shoulder, and said softly, "That's why we need to hurry up."

But for two people who can't ride a horse, how fast can they go?They asked the coachman to hurry but still failed to reach the imperial city within the expected time.

It was slightly bright when they arrived at the imperial city, and under the guidance of Shen Qi, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But what Shen Qi didn't expect was that the Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, as if some kind of happy event was about to be held.

Zhong Mo also asked curiously: "Is there any happy event? General Ye is getting married?"

Shen Qi thought for a while, and then guessed a little unconfidently: "Maybe it's Ke'er?"

But Ke'er never mentioned that she was going to get married when she came back.

Zhong Mo suggested again: "Just go in and see if there is any happy event."

But it was just a little light, and there was no one on the road, and the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed tightly. The knocking on the door was too loud, and I was afraid that it would wake up the people nearby.How to get in is really a problem.

While hesitating what to do, Shen Qi suddenly heard a timid voice from behind, "Excuse me, are you the fourth brother?"

Shen Qi turned his head and saw the fifth prince in coarse linen clothes.

He asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Shen Xi quickly ran two steps and rushed into Shen Qi's arms, hugged his fourth brother's waist and began to cry.

Not only is Shen Xi dressed plainly, but even her hair is messy, completely different from the neatly dressed appearance she used to be.

Shen Qi knew that something must have happened, so she gently stroked Shen Xi's back and made him cry hard, and then asked him after he finished crying.

It was a little brighter after Shen Xi finished crying, and it would definitely not work to stay at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they hid in a side alley.

Seeing that Shen Xi's mood calmed down a bit, Shen Qi pulled Zhong Mo and introduced softly: "This is Doctor Zhong Mo Zhong, a friend I made this time."

After speaking, he introduced to Zhong Mo, "This kid is my fifth brother, named Shen Xi."

Shen Xi sniffed, and said dissatisfied: "I am no longer a child, I have grown up."

After calming down, Shen Xi said with tears in the corners of her eyes, "The prime minister wants to betroth Jie'er to Lu Heng."

When these words came out, both Shen Qi and Zhong Mo were startled.

Why do you want to betroth the child to someone else without warning?

Shen Xi also said: "Originally, the wedding date will be a few days later, but the father is in a very bad situation. The prime minister is afraid that it will be difficult to hold a happy event after the father dies, so he brought the wedding date forward. Lu Heng will come to marry tomorrow. Ke'er has passed through the door."

Shen Xi was very puzzled after hearing this, "Jie'er is still young, why is uncle so anxious to marry her off?"

Shen Xi gently rubbed her astringent eyes, and said in a low voice: "Everyone says that Lu Heng is the one chosen by Prime Minister Ye to take over his prime minister position, and marrying his daughter to Lu Heng creates a bond of affection between them. Prime Minister Ye will not worry about the future."

Shen Qi sighed lightly.

After a while of silence, he asked again: "Then why are you here?"

"I sneaked out of the palace a few days ago." Shen Xi said embarrassingly, "I want to see Jieer, but I haven't been able to."

Zhong Mo smelled something different from Shen Xi's words, and asked suspiciously, "What's your relationship with Jie'er?"

Shen Xi glanced at Zhong Mo, blushed slightly and replied, "We are friends."

"Is it just a friend?" Zhong Mo asked.

"I……"

Shen Xi's face became even redder, and he hesitated for a long time before telling the truth, "I want to marry Jie'er in the future."

Hearing what Shen Xi was saying, Zhong Mo nodded with a smile.

On the other hand, Shen Qi was very surprised by the words of his fifth younger brother, "Do you like Ke'er?"

Shen Xi nodded seriously.

"You and Jie'er are in love?" Shen Qi asked again.

Shen Xi didn't nod this time, but replied: "Jie'er said she would marry me in the future."

Shen Qi was suddenly a little depressed: He didn't know until the two children were in love with each other, why didn't they notice anything before?

Shen Xi tugged at Shen Qi's sleeve, and begged: "So fourth brother, please help Ke'er, Ke'er doesn't want to marry someone she doesn't like."
