After waking up this time, Jiang Jiu felt unwell.

He lay in bed for another two days and only recovered after taking the medicine given by Chu Yu.

Chu Yu took Jiang Jiu's pulse again and found that as long as she didn't have those messy dreams, she would be in good spirits and full of energy.

Chu Yu went to the Imperial College and found a book from the Western Regions, only to discover that the Western Regions poison, Hate Parting, did have sequelae.

The more you think about the past, the more severe the backlash will be. If you want to save your life, it is best not to think about the past.

So, she didn't discuss it with Zhao Zhuoxi at all, and directly gave Jiang Jiu some sedatives, and waited for her to sleep for two days and rest well.

Sure enough, his whole face was radiant.

Chu Yu then wrote a letter to Zhao Zhuoxi to report the situation.

Zhao Zhuoxi was also helpless. It was obvious that she was a resurrection from the dead, so how could he forget about her?

Will a person fall in love with another person repeatedly?

The answers are sometimes mysterious.

When Jiang Jiu woke up, he found himself back in the palace and was a little puzzled for a moment.

"Taohua, didn't I follow His Majesty to Nanli to fight? How did I end up back in the palace?"

Taohua looked distressed: "It was the princess who fainted. This time she fainted for three days. His Majesty was distressed and did not allow the princess to stay with him. He asked the princess to rest and recuperate in the palace."

After being unconscious for three days, it’s no wonder that Jiang Jiu was so hungry when he woke up.

"That's fine. As long as His Majesty is not in the palace, no one will care about me. Even if I leave the palace, no one will know."

Thinking so, Jiang Jiu did the same.

In the past, Jiang Jiu always left the palace quietly at night, but now, in broad daylight, Jiang Jiu left in a swagger.

She was right. Without Zhao Zhuoxi, no one in the harem could control her.

The eunuchs, maids, and guards in the palace all knew that even His Majesty treated her very well, so who would dare to find fault with him?

Jiang Jiu didn't go anywhere else this time and went straight home.

At home, Yao Shirong, who had just become the Duke of Zhenguo, was recuperating. He was supported by a servant and walked and moved slowly in the yard.

Suddenly, he saw Jiang Jiu coming back with a look of surprise on his face.

"Didn't you go to war with His Majesty? Why are you back?"

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and pointed to his head: "My health was not good and I often fainted, so the emperor sent me back."

Yao Shirong was originally planning to blame her, but after hearing what she said, he immediately became nervous.

"What's going on? Please ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

Jiang Jiu stopped him: "No need, the imperial physician has already checked it out and said that it will be fine after a few days of rest. It is also taking medicine. Don't worry, father."

Yao Shirong finally nodded in relief: "There are rumors in the palace that His Majesty is in love with you. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."

Jiang Jiu's original identity was Yao Qin, who was once deeply in love with the emperor.

It’s just because she is also a face control, and the emperor is handsome, so she likes him.

But Jiang Jiu is not very fond of the emperor now, so he doesn't care about the rumors.

Yao Shirong thought for a moment and said, "Since you are fine, you should still go to Nanli. It will not be easy for His Majesty to conquer Nanli. It will be better if someone from our Yao family is there to take charge."

Jiang Jiu was puzzled: "Why? Could it be that Nanli's soldiers don't even listen to the emperor's words?"

Yao Shirong frowned and said, "Yes, they are all veterans, some of them are stubborn. If the young soldiers follow them back to the capital, they might obey your Majesty's orders."

After the Duke of Zhenguo defeated the Nanli Kingdom, he remained stationed in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years.

The past ten years or so have been relatively peaceful. At the same time, many veterans have taken root in southern Xinjiang, married, had children, and started families.

So later, when the Duke of Zhenguo moved his family back to the capital, many old soldiers were unwilling to follow them.

But, in fact, they are still soldiers of Daning.

Therefore, when Emperor Zhao Zhuoxi went to southern Xinjiang to fight against Nanli, those veterans also had to participate.

However, the emperor did not have a list, so he did not know exactly how many soldiers there were.

Even the people of the Duke of Zhenguo would deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates.

But the soldiers of the Duke of Zhenguo would not deceive him.

Now that the Duke of Zhenguo has passed away, his son cannot go to the war, and there is no one to take charge of those soldiers.

Yao Shirong was worried that the Yao family's soldiers would cheat.

When a general is away from the emperor, he is not bound by his sovereign's orders. Even if the emperor himself were to go, he might not be able to command them. They are numerous, with 200,000 troops stationed in the southern border.

The emperor has only brought a few troops with him. Who knows, they might get carried away and rebel.

This is what Yao Shirong is most worried about.

Jiang Jiu seemed to understand something.

"Father, so I still have to go to Southern Xinjiang with you?"

Jiang Jiu was not familiar with Southern Xinjiang, but the original owner was familiar with it. She grew up there, and the veterans also liked her very much.

The original owner's martial arts and temperament were all taught by those veterans.

So the original owner was not like an ordinary lady from a noble family, weak and delicate.

Yao Shirong nodded: "Yes, you have to go and bring the Yao family's keepsake."

"Okay." Jiang Jiu also wanted to travel to the south of Daning. Without anyone to bother him, he would be free and comfortable.

They were discussing when suddenly, the servant came running over in a hurry.

"Master, Master, something bad has happened. The Crown Prince got into a fight and was taken to the Ministry of Justice..."

"What? This little bastard..." Yao Shirong had just taken two steps forward when he felt a sharp pain in his back like a needle prick. He quickly covered his waist.

Jiang Jiu saw this and said, "Dad, don't worry, I'll go take a look."

Yao Shirong had no choice but to agree. He had just been able to get up and take a few steps, and walking was difficult for him. Besides, it was impossible for him, the Duke of Zhenguo, to personally intervene in a fight between children.

Jiang Jiu followed the servant.

"Who did Song'er fight with? Why was he arrested by the Ministry of Justice?"

"With Prime Minister Qin's grandson." The servant spoke quickly, "He almost beat someone to death. The Qin family disagreed, so they had the child sent to the Ministry of Justice."

"Lord Wang from the Ministry of Justice is worried, so I'm here to report this to the Duke."

When Jiang Jiu heard this, his scalp went numb.

"Prime Minister Qin? Isn't that your Majesty's uncle?"

If you don't want to mess with someone, mess with his family.

Jiang Jiu took the servant and went straight to the Ministry of Justice without saying a word.

At this time, there were many people surrounding the Ministry of Justice. Although Jiang Jiu didn't know any of them, they all knew her.

When they saw her, it was hard to tell whether the look in their eyes was one of awe or amusement.

Looking at Lord Wang from the Ministry of Justice, looking at the two children on the ground, he realized that neither of them was someone he could afford to offend.

Covering my head, I felt a headache and felt helpless.

After looking at Yao Song, he looked at the Qin family's child, who was tied up like a mummy, lying on a stretcher, and sighed again.

This is a really difficult matter. The emperor and the princess have both gone south to fight.

Something like this happened in the rear.

If the emperor were still alive, he wouldn't have to care about the verdict. After all, he was just a child. He could just give both sides a beating.

But the emperor and the princess are not here, and the Qin family is just so persistent. I don’t know what their intention is.

The Duke of Zhenguo is ill, so he has to be invited to come.
