You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

An Bei nodded heavily.

"With great pleasure! Military Advisor Shang, please come in!" The two of them chatted and laughed as they strolled around the garden.

Mu Yunge continued to drink tea with Zhao Jingchen: "Zixuan, isn't Shang Jue's home in the capital?"

Speaking of business secrets, Zhao Jingchen was silent.

"His family originally lived in the capital, and his father was the Minister of Personnel. He has followed me since he was a child.

After that person ascended the throne, the Shang family was marginalized. In order to protect them, I asked Shang Shangshu to resign and move out of the capital with his family.

He is currently living in the palace and has been busy with some things these past two days. He just happened to be free to come back today."

"Oh, how old is he? Is he married?"

Zhao Jingchen shook his head. "Because of me, he still hasn't gotten engaged. What? You want to help him get married?"

"No, I just asked casually. By the way, that person didn't seem to notice that we touched his things." Mu Yunge smiled and changed the subject.

"Of course he didn't notice. If he had, Eunuch Yao wouldn't have come to the Zhan Palace so calmly."

"That's right! We'll just watch the show from the side, watching the father and son jump around as hard as they can."

Zhao Jingchen looked at Mu Yunge, who was in a happy mood.

At this moment, she raised her head slightly and smiled, and her movements were exactly the same as when she was twelve or thirteen years old in the portrait.

She was less mature than when we first met in the teahouse, and more lively and smart like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

Was it my intervention that caused her to change?

Zhao Jingchen secretly encouraged himself in his heart and decided to make good preparations to make everything go smoothly.

Since only by sitting in that supreme position can I protect her, then I will sit there, clear all obstacles for her, and keep her safe for the rest of her life.

Royal study room.

While reviewing memorials, Emperor Yan looked up at the door from time to time.

It was almost three quarters past noon, but Wang Songlin still hadn't returned.

The Great Yan Emperor lost his temper and cursed, "This Wang Songlin is really useless. He has been gone for so long and still hasn't returned. Did he die in Prince Zhan's mansion?"

Eunuch Yao stepped forward to appease him, "Your Majesty, perhaps he looked too closely and wasted time. Even if the people in the palace are ruthless, they can't do anything to him, right?"

"That's right! Never mind him, I'm going to the imperial kitchen to eat first."

Eunuch Yao hurriedly helped the person out.

But when he arrived at the imperial kitchen, the Great Yan Emperor looked at the table full of dishes and had no desire to pick up his chopsticks. "I don't feel hungry at all."

Eunuch Yao panicked and tried to persuade him, "Your Majesty, you must take care of your health. You must eat at least a little. If you don't eat, how will you have the energy to handle state affairs?

Try this porridge, it's refreshing and fragrant, and this fried venison shreds with chives is absolutely delicious..."

Eunuch Yao used all his skills to recommend dishes, and Emperor Yan finally ate some.

After returning to the imperial study, he waited for more than an hour, but there was still no sign of Wang Songlin.

On this side, after waiting for a long time but seeing no one, he finally ran out of patience: "Come here, find Wang Songlin for me."

On the other side, Wang Songlin came out of Prince Zhan's mansion, thought about what Zhao Jingchen said, stopped entering the palace, and turned around and went back to the mansion.

After returning home and eating and drinking his fill, he lay down on the bed and said, "Quick, find the palace doctor!"

After the court doctor arrived, Wang Songlin dismissed his attendants and said to him, "Do you have any way to make me look sick? I want something that even the imperial doctors can't diagnose."

The court doctor was also a skilled one and immediately understood what he meant: "Yes!"

"Okay, if you can help me get away with this, I'll give you fifty taels of silver."

"I will go prepare medicine for the master now."

Fifty taels of silver could do a lot for an ordinary person, so the court doctor agreed without hesitation.

Half an hour later, the court doctor returned with half a bowl of dark brown medicine in his hand.

"Master, after you drink the medicine, you will appear very weak and your pulse will be fast and slow, just like a sick person.

But don't worry, you are absolutely fine, and you are a normal and healthy person inside."

He was the one who saved the court doctor, and Wang Songlin believed that he would never harm him.

He took the medicine and drank it without hesitation, "I'm going to pretend for ten days or half a month."

"no problem!"

Wang Songlin shouted outside: "Call the housekeeper!"

Not long after, the housekeeper came running in: "Master, what do you want to call me for?"

"Pass the word down. I went to Prince Zhan's mansion and fell ill after returning angrily. I can't see any guests."

The butler did not ask the reason and just carried out the order.

When the Wang family heard that he was ill, they all came to visit him and keep him company. Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she kept complaining, "Master, how could you be so angry?"

"Madam, my chest is tight. Please take your grandchildren away quickly and don't let them get sick.

Let's go, there's a court doctor here, hurry up."

Mrs. Wang didn't understand the reason and was unwilling to leave. "Master, you are already ill, so I must stay and take care of you."

Wang Songlin glared angrily, "I told you to leave, and you left. Don't you understand?"

Seeing that he was so angry that he was fuming, Mrs. Wang was afraid that he would get hurt again, so she had to take her family and leave temporarily.

At the end of the Wei hour, the eunuchs from the palace arrived at the Wang family.

The housekeeper came out to greet him: "Sir, our master has returned from Prince Zhan's mansion. I don't know what happened, but he got so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. Then he said he was not feeling well and is now lying in bed."

sick?

No way?

The eunuch didn't believe it: "I'm here to see Lord Wang on orders, and I have to report back to the Emperor. Please take me to see Lord Wang."

"Okay, since you don't believe me, please follow me."

The housekeeper brought people to Wang Songlin's bedside: "Master, this eunuch said that he came to see you on the emperor's orders."

Wang Songlin opened his mouth and said impatiently, "Please go back and tell me, eunuch, that I am almost mad at you. The people in Prince Zhan's mansion are scolding me and almost killing me. Where can I put my face?"

Oh, and they also said that the Emperor sent the Dragon Shadow Guard to the Prince's Mansion to kill someone, but as soon as they started fighting, he blew the whistle and sent the person away, and he was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger."

The eunuch looked at Wang Songlin's pale face and asked, "Master Wang, what's wrong with you? Is it serious?"

"My chest hurts, it feels stuffy, and I feel weak all over."

The eunuch pretended to comfort him and said, "Master Wang, take good care of yourself. We will go back and ask an imperial physician to come and see you."

"Thank you so much, Grandpa!"

The eunuch looked at him again and hurried back to the palace to report.

The Great Yan Emperor was a little skeptical when he heard his words: "Go, let the imperial physician go to the Wang family to check. If he dares to pretend to be sick in front of me, I will punish him for deceiving the emperor."

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang looks frighteningly pale, but he might not be lying."

Eunuch Yao also shook his head: "Your Majesty, there is no need for him to lie. Besides, those warriors in Prince Zhan's mansion do have very bad tempers."

The Great Yan Emperor waved his hand and said, "No matter if he is really sick or not, the imperial physician will go to see him first. If he is really sick, I am concerned about the court officials. If he is not sick, hehe..."

Eunuch Yao waved the eunuchs away before reminding them, "Your Majesty, whether he's sick or not is not important. What's important is the whistle he mentioned. It doesn't look like there's been a fight in Prince Zhan's mansion. What they said might be true."

"Right, right, right! Who could be the one making that whistle?"
