I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Lung disease? Are you sure?"

Chen Qingyun threw down the memorial and sneered helplessly.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I have confirmed repeatedly that Jiang Zuo is indeed suffering from lung disease."

The imperial physician has returned to the capital to report to the empress.

"This guy was full of energy a few days ago, and now he's suddenly got lung disease? This is too much of a coincidence."

Chen Qingyun was extremely confused and full of doubts.

"I'll ask you again, does Jiang Zuo really have lung disease?"

The imperial physician affirmed: "I have diagnosed Jiang Zuo many times. His pulse, breath, and physical symptoms are completely consistent with that of a person suffering from lung disease."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun felt inexplicably more nervous.

"Really?"

She couldn't believe it.

"Just back off."

"According to the order."

After the imperial physician left, Chen Qingyun frowned.

"Jiang Zuo, if you dare to lie to me, I won't need you to come to Beijing to be an official. Instead, I will castrate you and let you become a eunuch in the palace!"

Chen Qingyun was already feeling a bit angry.

Because of the many affairs of the court recently and the disaster in the two northern states, she was worried and had no appetite.

At this moment, she needs help.

If Jiang Zuo was really ill, even if he was forcibly brought into the palace, it would be difficult to solve the problem.

Chen Qingyun was frowning and wandering alone in the hall.

Suddenly, she had an idea and came up with a unique idea.

……

The Qianqi Division has been in Anding County for nearly ten days, but as of this morning, they still show no signs of leaving.

"Do these Thousand Cavalrymen really want to wait until my 'illness' is cured before they are willing to leave?"

Jiang Zuo tossed and turned on the bed, almost falling ill.

In today's Jiangzuo, people will get sick even if they don't want to.

Once you tell a lie, you will have to tell thousands of lies to cover it up.

Since Jiang Zuo had not left home for ten days, the people in the county thought that the county magistrate had been arrested by the Thousand Cavalry Division again, and every day people went to the yamen to ask for a meeting with him.

After hearing that Lord Jiang was ill, the people became even more worried, and some even came to visit him with white chrysanthemums.

Fortunately, Mr. Guo was there to deal with the situation. He announced to the public that Jiang Zuo was just unwell and was busy with government affairs this month and had no time to take care of other things.

The people were skeptical and kept murmuring about it.

Jiang Zuo was extremely bored and was playing with his brush.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Zuo immediately lay back on the bed and acted out the whole thing.

"Sir, it's me."

The voice of Master Guo.

"Come in." Jiang Zuo said.

Master Guo pushed the door open and walked in, holding something in his hand, and asked, "Sir, is there a letter from the capital?"

"Are you from the capital? What imperial edict? I won't read a single word of what that woman wrote." Jiang Zuo waved his hand and threw the letter on the table, showing no interest at all. "I am not feeling well. Please leave."

But Master Guo said, "Your Excellency, this is not an imperial decree."

"what is that?"

Jiang Zuo didn't seem to be interested at all.

"It's a letter from a Miss Chen." said Master Guo.

Suddenly, Jiang Zuo sat up as if he was dying of illness. He sat up straight with a whoosh, snatched the letter from Master Guo, and prepared to open it. Then he waved his hand and said, "You can go out..."

"It's clear."

Master Guo wisely left and closed the door.

Jiang Zuo quietly walked to the door, closed it tightly, then returned to the bed and opened the letter.

There was even a familiar fragrance on the letter.

It is Chanel perfume, a specialty of Anding County...

Smelling this breath, it was as if I saw the girl "Chen Siyue" with my own eyes.

Jiang Zuo couldn't wait to open the letter. He saw the clear and elegant handwriting, like willow catkins blowing in the wind. He knew at a glance that it was written by a lady from a noble family.

Upon closer inspection, it says:

"To Lord Jiang, I am Chen Siyue. I left Anding last time without saying goodbye. I feel very sorry. Now I am writing to you, hoping that you will forgive me. The perfume I bought in Anding County last time is very popular. I wonder if you still have some in stock. Can you send some to me? My address is the mansion at No. 3 Jude Street, South City, Beijing. As for the silver, I have sent someone to Anding County to deliver it. I hope you can rest assured. If you have any questions, you can write back at any time..."

“It was just for shopping.”

Jiang Zuo felt a little disappointed.

Having said that, at least Miss Chen Siyue has not forgotten him in her heart.

Jiang Zuo thought about this, and after experiencing the torment of the past few days, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

Alas, it would be a wonderful thing if I could live and fly with such a beauty in the future.

It’s a pity that Jiang Zuo is now in a situation where he has no control over his own affairs.

Feeling melancholy, Jiang Zuo found some pen, ink and paper and started writing a letter.

In order to prevent Qianqisi from making any mistake, he now needs to cough violently twice.

"To Miss Chen Siyue, I am Jiang Zuo. Since we last parted, I don't know when we will meet again. If you still want to do business with this county, you can come anytime. Jiang Zuo welcomes you very much..."

He wrote carefully, but always felt that the sentences were not right, so he revised them again and again.

"Master, send me a letter. This is the address."

Jiang Zuo ordered.

"Ran Ran, I wonder, sir, this is..." Master Guo was curious.

"Don't meddle in other people's business." Jiang Zuo said.

"Your Excellency, I am not meddling in other people's business. It is the Thousand Cavalry Division outside the door." Master Guo whispered.

Jiang Zuo understood and said indifferently: "It's just a letter to a friend. Just don't let Qianqisi go. Go ahead."

"As ordered."

A few days later, someone suddenly came to ask for a meeting, claiming that he wanted to discuss business with Lord Jiang.

Because there have been too many people of this kind visiting recently, the master still refused to see him on the grounds that Lord Jiang was ill.

The next day, Jiang Zuo received another letter from Chen Siyue.

"I heard that you are ill and unable to discuss business with my family. I am extremely anxious. I don't know if you are well. If you are ill, I will not bother you..."

After hearing these words, Jiang Zuo suddenly fell into an inexplicable thought.

"She cares about me? Is it possible that she has me in her heart?"

But reason told him that it was just a polite greeting.

However, Jiang Zuo felt slightly satisfied to be able to communicate with Miss Chen Siyue.

"Ms. Chen Siyue, Jiang Zuo is just feeling a little unwell, so don't worry. If you intend to visit Anding again, please let me know in advance so that I can welcome you..."

Jiang Zuo wrote this.

I just don’t know when the Thousand Cavalry Division will leave and when I can regain my freedom.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo had no idea what would happen to him after sending this letter...

Three days later, Jiang Zuo received another reply from Miss Chen.

"Is express delivery so fast now? It took less than three days from Beijing to Anding County."

Jiang Zuo couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, what is express delivery?" asked Master Guo.

"Um... a messenger or a post station? It's almost the same." Jiang Zuo said.

"I understand," said Master Guo, "but in the past, it also took us ten days to send items to the capital."

"is it?"

Jiang Zuo didn't care. He told the master to leave and he wanted to appreciate Miss Chen's letter slowly.
