Quick Wear: Her waist is soft and kissable, the host falls in love with her at first sight

"Yes." Ling Yao admitted frankly, not giving Shu Yan a chance to speak, "Your Majesty, do you want to know what this old minister scolded him for?"

Although Emperor Cheng let Ling Yao retire, he still retained his power to attend court and his title.

Shu Yan's temple was throbbing.

Emperor Cheng glanced at Shu Yan and said, "Tell me about it."

In fact, Emperor Cheng already knew everything.

Ling Yao scolded Shu Yan harshly in front of Emperor Cheng.

Emperor Cheng was silent for a long time, "Prime Minister, do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, my father-in-law has misunderstood me. I have nothing to say, but I was unaware of the matter involving Shi Yu. I thought it was just a prank between children. I have never interfered in the interactions between ladies. I really didn't know that Li and my second daughter were slandering Shi Yu like this!" Shu Yan knelt in front of Emperor Cheng.

"Humph, you don't know? Didn't you say they were young and ignorant? Don't call me father-in-law. I must have been blind to agree to Yaoyao marrying you!"

"Shu Yan will be at the disposal of the old general!"

"Let me do whatever I want? Even if I kill you with my sword, I still can't get rid of the hatred in my heart!" Ling Yao also knelt in front of Emperor Cheng, "Your Majesty, I have never asked you for anything in all these years. Now I have a favor to ask, please grant it to me!"

Emperor Cheng's eyebrows jumped, and he quickly helped him up, "Old General, what are you talking about? Why did you use the word 'beg'? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"The day before I returned to the capital, I heard that Li held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Shu Shiyi. All the noble ladies in the capital attended, but no one mentioned Shi Yu's coming-of-age ceremony."

"This old minister wants Shi Yu to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion! He Shu Yan doesn't want this daughter, but I Ling Yao want this granddaughter!"

"Please, Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"

"No!" Shu Yan said hastily, "How can a father hand his daughter over to her grandfather? Shi Yu didn't have a coming-of-age ceremony because she was ill at the time and should have rested!"

"Sick? Well, when she recovers, can't you make a replacement for her?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but I've been bedridden for so long that I really can't find the time to make up for her."

"Then why is she bedridden? It's obviously because you didn't take good care of her and she's not doing well! She was eating well, sleeping well, and taking good care of herself in the general's mansion, but you said some ambiguous words before you came to my house yesterday, and she was so angry that her face turned pale. So many people saw it yesterday!"

"You said you didn't have money to hire a doctor for her. All those years, I hired doctors for her. You didn't have money? Then what did you use to buy Shu Shiyi's coming-of-age ceremony? It's a contradiction!"

"The money for Shi Yu's medical treatment these years was either a reward from the emperor or her mother's dowry!"

Shu Yan had no way to defend himself.

"I beg Your Majesty to help me! I have spent my entire life in military service. My wife passed away early, and my daughter also passed away early. Now I only have a granddaughter left. I don't want to see anyone die young!" Ling Yao cried miserably.

"I didn't cry when I was poisoned and injured on the battlefield and my life was hanging by a thread, but I couldn't help crying when I thought about my granddaughter being treated so harshly!"

Emperor Cheng was silent for a while, "Then Shu Shiyu will leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you, old general, will decide on her marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise!" Ling Yao kowtowed quickly.

The matter was settled, Shu Yan could only swallow his dissatisfaction and unwillingness, and he also had to explain to Jingyu.

Emperor Cheng sighed in his heart. Some time ago, Jingyu asked to marry Shu Shiyu, and later the prince came to persuade him. He still couldn't figure out the prince's intention.

"Old General, what do you think of me granting your granddaughter a marriage? She can be the prince's concubine."

Ling Yao's heart skipped a beat, "Your Majesty, this is not possible! I am weak and have no luck in becoming your daughter-in-law!"

Emperor Cheng glanced at Shu Yan calmly and said, "Not long ago, the Second Prince came to me and asked me to marry Shi Yu, but the Crown Prince stopped him. I thought that the Crown Prince might have some feelings for Shi Yu."

"There is only the Crown Princess in the Crown Prince's Mansion, so there are indeed a few people."

"The Crown Prince is kind and the Crown Princess is also a good person. It would be a good choice for Shi Yu to move into the Crown Prince's Mansion."

Ling Yao gritted his teeth. The emperor looked determined and serious. Isn't this just a random matchmaking? If that boy really came back, he would not be able to explain himself.

"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you alone. Please ask your Majesty to ask everyone else to leave."

Seeing Ling Yao's serious expression, Emperor Cheng waved his hand and asked Shu Yan to leave.

Although Shu Yan was unwilling, he didn't dare to say anything more.

"Aren't you talking about the child's marriage? Is there anything important you want to say, old general?"

"Your Majesty, although the Crown Prince is a good destination, if you really marry Shi Yu to the Crown Prince, I will not be able to explain to that kid Yu Tongchen."

Emperor Cheng suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Yu Tongchen."

"What does this have to do with him?" Emperor Cheng remembered what the prince had told him not long ago, that Yu Tongchen stood with the prince.

Although his nephew was in the Valley of Divine Doctors, all the officials in the court who were truly capable and in important positions listened to him. When he overthrew the Duke Yu's Mansion, he was also prepared to overthrow the imperial power.

His strategy and scheming were much better than the crown prince's. Out of extreme guilt towards his sister, Emperor Cheng once wanted to train him to be the crown prince and hand over the throne to him, bypassing all his sons. However, he left a letter and hid in the Valley of Divine Doctors.

When Yu Tongchen said he supported the prince, Emperor Cheng was shocked, because he had said before that he would not support anyone and would not support any of the hidden ministers in the court.

"He has taken a fancy to Shi Yu." Ling Yao was determined to go all out. The two people who knew clearly about what happened back then were Emperor Cheng and himself.

"Your Majesty, if you really grant Shi Yu a marriage to the Crown Prince, I won't be able to explain to Yu Tongchen when he comes back!"

"Did your granddaughter go to the Divine Doctor Valley during these days when she left Beijing?"

"Yes."

"After you resigned from your post to me, did you also go to the Divine Doctor Valley?"

"Yes."

Emperor Cheng was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "Why did he come to see you and not me?"

"Ask him yourself."

"Where is he now?"

"Lingfeng County."

"When he comes back, let him come to see me."

"Yes, I will talk to him, but I am not sure whether he will come or not."

"Old General, please go back and bring some things back to Shi Yu to replenish his body. The imperial edict for Shi Yu to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion will be in Shu Yan's hands soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ling Yao walked out of the imperial study with a flushed face.

After Ling Yao left, Emperor Cheng silently wrote an imperial edict, asking him to send more people to Lingfeng County and bring more medicinal materials over.

Emperor Cheng took out the mural from the secret compartment at the back and stroked the face of the woman in the painting with his fingers. His eyes were deep and he sighed for a long time, "Sister..."

He was very much like her.

……

A month later, all the people infected with the plague in Lingfeng County had recovered.

Yu Tongchen took off his outer robe that had been soaked in medicine, took off his face towel, and washed his hands.

"Master, don't you want to rest for a while before leaving? You haven't slept much in this month." Yuan Youli advised.

"No, I'll leave immediately."

He missed her very much and wanted to see her immediately.

Seeing that he could not persuade her, Yuan Youli sighed and said, "Master, I wish you a safe journey."

"Yeah." Yu Tongchen jumped onto the horse.

"Doctor Yu, wait a minute!" Jinghe ran over and called him.

Yu Tongchen gripped the reins tightly, "What's the matter?"
