Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhao Liangchen didn't come for the past three days. He was busy competing for the position of deputy commander. Mr. Zeng also seemed very busy. He went to change Su Qin's household registration and registered her under his own name. From then on, Su Qin had a new name, Zeng Suqing.

Then he made an appointment and sent out invitations to hold a formal family reunion banquet for Su Qin.

Su Qin doesn't go out every day. She just leisurely does needlework and cooks. She lives a leisurely life, but the Su family does not have it so easy.

Su Jijing thought that if Su Qin didn't meet him during the day, she would definitely come to see him at night, so when they set up camp at night, other officials suggested that Su Jijing go into the city and stay in an inn, but Su Jijing insisted on setting up a tent outside the city and living with the victims. He also asked the guards not to get too close, but Su Qin didn't show up after waiting for a whole night.

When they set out again the next day, Su Jijing could no longer hide his anxiety. He kept lifting the curtain and looking out to see if Su Qin had caught up with him.

Madam Su was also a little anxious: "Why didn't Qin'er show up? Did something happen to her?"

Even Su Jin began to worry: "Father, sister didn't agree to any conditions to save us, did she?"

When Su Jijing heard this, his face instantly turned very ugly. What he didn't say was that he saw Mr. Zeng next to Su Qin yesterday.

Mr. Zeng is a famous scholar. He thinks that Su Qin should be safe if she is with him, but he is still a little worried because he knows that one of Mr. Zeng's students is Zhao Liangchen. Combined with the fact that Zhao Liangchen helped Su Qin deliver a letter when he was released from prison, it can be seen that Su Qin and Zhao Liangchen have a close relationship.

He always thought that the reason he got away with it was because Zhao Kuo was replaced, which gave Tong Zhongqian the opportunity to re-investigate the case. Tong Zhongqian then found out that he was innocent, so they were released. When the imperial edict was read, he thought that the Zhao family, as suspects of replacing Zhao Kuo, would be punished even if they were innocent. But when he saw Zhao Liangchen appear at the door of the Ministry of Justice's prison, he knew that the Zhao family was not only not convicted, but also nothing happened to them.

He guessed that Su Qin had close contacts with the Zhao family, and they were able to get out not because Tong Zhongqian found out that he was innocent, but because Su Qin might have done something.

Although he was not sure who was behind the Zhao family, he was sure that they were not good people and had big ambitions. He was also worried about what conditions Su Qin had agreed to from the Zhao family in order to rescue them.

He was extremely anxious. If Su Qin sacrificed herself for the safety of their family, he would probably never be able to sleep or eat in peace for the rest of his life.

He wanted to go back to find Su Qin, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey. If he went back now, his whole family would die. On one side was Su Qin, and on the other side were his other family members. He couldn't leave either side.

Because he was anxious, he developed blisters in his mouth in just one day. Mrs. Su felt distressed and didn't know how to persuade him. The atmosphere in the family became a little depressing.

This situation continued until they set up camp again at night. This time, Su Jijing still stayed outside the city with the disaster victims. Madam Su handed Su Jijing a bowl of porridge and said, "Master, please eat something. You haven't eaten all day, and you are injured. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it back to Chanzhou. If anything happens to you, Qin'er will have no hope."

Su Jijing took the bowl of porridge and sighed deeply: "I really can't eat it."

Madam Su: "I understand. I am the same. But we can't let anything happen to us. We don't know what Qin'er has done to save us. If something happens to us, won't all her efforts be in vain?"

Su Jijing lowered his head silently and drank a mouthful of porridge. He had to hold on until he saw Su Qin.

Just when the family was speechless, a voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "Master Su, help! Please save my son."

Then came the voices of guards shouting and chasing people away. Su Jijing put down his bowl, stood up and left the tent: "What happened?"

A guard came forward to report: "Sir, some disaster victims are forcing their way in."

Su Jijing walked forward a few steps and saw several guards drawing their swords. The person being stopped was a woman, and behind her were two men supporting a weak man.

When Madam Xu saw Su Jijing, she immediately shouted, "Sir Su, please save my son. He is seriously ill. Please find a doctor for him."

Su Jijing approached and looked at them. He felt that they looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before. He looked at Xu Chunshan, who was supporting Xu Feng. As their eyes met, Xu Chunshan slightly opened his mouth and mouthed, "Su Qin."

When Su Jijing saw them, he suddenly remembered that these were the people who stood next to Su Qin yesterday.

He suppressed his excitement and turned to the guard and said, "Let them in."

The guard hesitated: "Sir, these people are unknown, I'm afraid they are in danger."

Madam Xu hurriedly said, "Sir, we are not bad people. It's just that my son is very ill. We won't go in. We just ask you to call a doctor."

Su Jijing said to the guards again: "Go and get the imperial physician."

Among the officials who went to provide disaster relief was an imperial physician. Because Su Jijing did not live in the city, other officials who did not hold higher positions than him could not enter the city either.

Soon the imperial physician arrived and took Xu Feng's pulse outside Su Jijing's tent.

Xu Feng had originally taken the tonic given by Zhao Liangchen, and his health had improved a lot, but in order to approach Su Jijing without revealing any flaws, he had not eaten since he set out on the road yesterday. His body was weak to begin with, and after this ordeal, he quickly returned to his original weak state.

After examining him, the imperial physician shook his head and said to Su Jijing, "Sir, this man has been born with a weak condition. If he had been well-nourished since childhood, his lifespan would not have been affected. However, his condition has certainly never been properly treated. Now, after the torment of fleeing and starvation, his body has long been hollowed out. I'm afraid he won't last much longer."

Although Xu Feng deliberately made things difficult for himself to get close to Su Jijing, the Xu family also really wanted him to see a doctor. The imperial physician's words undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Xu Chunshan and Madam Xu.

Xu Chunshan was still okay and managed to stay calm, but Mrs. Xu collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

Su Jijing frowned and asked the imperial physician, "Can it be cured?"

The imperial physician shook his head. "It's difficult. We can only keep him alive for now. If he wants to survive this disease, it will cost a lot of money."

Su Jijing: "Prescribe medicine for him and save his life first."

The imperial physician hesitated a little: "Sir, the medicine for his illness requires precious herbs, which are not cheap."

They did bring medicinal herbs with them, but that was for emergency use in case of any situation. It was really not worth it to give such expensive herbs to a disaster victim.

Su Jijing looked at the imperial physician gravely, "The Emperor sent me here to provide disaster relief to protect the lives of the victims. People started dying right after we set out on this journey. Are you planning to send me back to prison again?"

The imperial physician didn't dare to say a word. Everyone knew that Su Jijing was wrongfully imprisoned. After being released, not only was he not reinstated, he was also driven out to work in disaster relief, and his property was not returned. Anyone would be furious if this happened to them, and Su Jijing was probably angry and had nowhere to vent it. The imperial physician didn't want to get into trouble. Anyway, the medicinal materials were not bought with his money, so he could give them to whoever he wanted. So the imperial physician said nothing and turned around to get the medicine.

Su Jijing then told the guards to carry him to my tent.

Guard: "My lord, this is not safe."

Su Jijing angrily scolded, "If I think this disaster victim is in danger and that disaster victim is in danger, then what's the point of disaster relief? Can I provide disaster relief without even touching the victims? Otherwise, you can teach me how to safely avoid contact with any of the victims and still provide effective disaster relief."
