After leaving the county government office, Chai Yan took Jimoshu and Hang Baiqiu to Gu Zhengbang's residence.
When passing by a street, everyone found that there were many beggars gathered on this street, but they didn't know what was going on.
No one was in the mood to watch the excitement, so they took a detour and continued towards Gu Zhengbang's place.
Coming to a secluded alley, Chai Yan knocked on the side door of the house.
The moment Mo Di opened the door and saw Jimoshu and Hang Baiqiu, he immediately became excited.
After the two parties briefly exchanged greetings, Mo Di led everyone to meet Gu Zhengbang in the main hall.
"Commander Gu!"
"Lord Jimo!"
Gu Zhengbang and Jimoshu came closer, and then bowed to each other at the same time, their faces full of joy and relief.
Jimoshu carefully looked at Gu Zhengbang's body and found that he was in good health and complexion, and said: "Brother Zhengbang, I really didn't expect that you can still live well despite your fate!"
Gu Zhengbang not only didn't feel angry after hearing this, but actually smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Shu, I disappoint you!"
"Hahaha..." "Hehehe..."
Immediately afterwards, the two of them burst into hearty laughter at the same time.
From this scene alone, Chai Yan could tell that the relationship between Gu Zhengbang and Jimoshu should be quite good.
After greetings, Gu Zhengbang and Jimoshu left the main room and went to the study. Miao Li, Mo Di and Hang Baiqiu all followed. Chai Yan and Gui Yuan were the only two people left in the hall of the main room.
Chai Yan walked up to Yuan and asked softly: "Madam, what did my father-in-law talk to you on the road just now?"
Yuan Yuan replied softly: "It's nothing, mostly trivial things in life, asking about this and that, asking about good and bad... But then he said..."
"What?" Chai Yan couldn't help but become curious after hearing that there was a twist in Yuanyuan's words at the end.
Yuan said: "Father said, let me go back to the capital with them..."
"Wait a minute, madam..." Upon hearing that something was wrong, Chai Yan asked carefully: "I want you to go back to Beijing with them... What about me? I don't have to go back.
?”
Yuanyuan shook his head and said, "I asked about this, but my father didn't tell me. He also said that he would discuss it with Mr. Gu first..."
"I'll go, these two people got together to discuss, why am I feeling a little panicked for no reason?" Chai Yan couldn't help but frown.
Yuan Yuan immediately said: "Ms. sir, don't worry, I have already decided. We will go together and stay together!"
Chai Yan raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and nodded to Yuan.
The two of them waited in the main room for more than half an hour before Mo Di came over from the study and sent a message: "Miss You, Chai Yan, please come over."
Chai Yan immediately looked at Yuyuan: "Here he comes."
............
In the study room, Gu Zhengbang and Jimoshu sat on two Taishi chairs, while Hang Baiqiu and Miao Li stood on both sides of the back, one on the left and the other on the right.
After Mo Di brought the two of them to the study, he also stood beside Miao Li.
Gu Zhengbang looked at Jimoshu and said, "Brother Shu, it's up to you to talk about this matter! I say it's not appropriate..."
Jimoshu nodded slowly, then looked at his daughter and Chai Yan and said: "After noon today, Commander Gu and I will set off back to Beijing! You'er, you have to come with us; as for Chai Yan, he will have to stay for a while longer.
Today, complete the errands given to you by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Having said this, Jimoshu turned to Hang Baiqiu and said, "Chief Hang Guard, please show them the letter written by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Hang Baiqiu nodded, immediately took out a folded envelope from his waist, walked over and handed it to Yuan instead of Chai Yan.
Yuanyuan quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter and handed it to Chai Yan. Chai Yan opened the letter and read it carefully. It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also heard the news that the Youlong tribe may have discovered a new gold vein, and wanted Chai Yan to come back.
We will go to the Lintai Mountain area to have a look beforehand. We have a limit of twenty days. If we find nothing during this trip, we can immediately set off back to the capital.
As soon as Yuanyuan finished reading the letter, he declared loudly: "I will go too!"
"No!" Jimoshu objected immediately.
Yuan immediately asked, "Why?"
"Because you are my daughter, if I ask you to go back, you must go back!" Jimoshu shouted unreasonably.
Yuan Yuan was very unconvinced and said immediately: "No, I won't leave! We want to go together, and we want to stay together!"
As he said that, Yuan Yuan took Chai Yan's elbow.
Chai Yan held the back of Yuan's hand and said firmly: "That's right, we came together, so we have to go back together and we won't be separated!"
Seeing that Gu Zhengbang was afraid that he would not be able to tell the real reason, he said: "Brother Shu, just tell them the truth..."
"This..." Jimoshu looked hesitant.
When Chai Yan and Yu Yuan heard that there was something else going on, confusion appeared on their faces.
After a while, Jimoshu sighed and said solemnly: "To be honest with you, the emperor's health has been deteriorating recently. The imperial doctor said that he may die at any time and at any time. Therefore, the emperor wants to
Meet you!"
"Your Majesty wants to see me?" Yuan Yuan was stunned.
Chai Yan also looked surprised.
Jimoshu solemnly said: "You'er, you are the lucky star of our prosperous country. It is reasonable for the emperor to want to see you at the last moment. Therefore, for your mother and your sister Qiao'er,
You have to come back to Beijing with me!"
Chai Yan suddenly realized a problem and immediately asked: "If Yuan Yuan doesn't go back immediately, will the lives of Auntie and Jimo Qiao be in danger?"
"What...what does this mean?" Yuyuan was shocked.
Chai Yan looked at Yuyuan very seriously and said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, Auntie and Jimo Qiao must have been controlled by the emperor now. If you don't go back to see the emperor, the emperor probably will.
..."
Chai Yan couldn't say what happened next.
Jimoshu sighed secretly and said: "You'er, what he said is right. The emperor knew that he didn't have much time, so he wanted to see you in the last moment. However, he later learned that His Highness the Crown Prince made the decision privately.
You followed Chai Yan to Yaozhou, and the emperor was furious, and in a fit of anger... He had your mother and Qiao Er brought into the palace..."
Chai Yan hurriedly said to Yuanyuan: "Go back quickly. Nothing can happen to Auntie and Qiaoer. You must go back as soon as possible!"
"Impossible! I don't believe it! You lied to me..."
Yuanyuan was unwilling to leave Chai Yan. She thought this was a conspiracy by her father to force her to return to Beijing.
At this time, Hang Baiqiu suddenly spoke: "Miss You, what Mr. Jimo said is true! After this happened, the emperor was furious, and His Royal Highness was severely scolded several times. We did not lie to you!"
Chai Yan still knows something about Hang Baiqiu, and her appearance and tone cannot be a lie.
So, Chai Yan held Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Madam, listen to me and return to Beijing with them first. It only takes twenty days. Once the twenty-day time limit is up, I will be on my way back to Beijing!"
