The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Ji Wuyuan clenched his fists and said, "Have a good rest."

Then he walked out.

......

After that, Ji Wuyuan became busy, and Jiang Wantang also took care of his health. With Yun Shang's company, he was not bored.

They stayed in Linzhou for some time. The affairs of the Qi family and Wuming Mountain were gradually coming to an end. Those who deserved death were killed, those who deserved punishment were punished, and the iron mine was taken over by the court.

The flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River has been resolved, and the next step is to carry out subsequent reconstruction.

Ji Wuyuan issued an edict to exempt Jiangnan from taxes for three years, and allocated hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver for post-disaster reconstruction.

As the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, Xie Zhiyan certainly could not stay in Jiangnan for long. It just so happened that Lu Jinan had to stay in Jiangnan for a while because of matters in his hometown of Jinling.

Therefore, Ji Wuyuan appointed Lu Jinan as the Inspector of Jiangnan, giving him the power to supervise post-disaster reconstruction, restore the people's livelihood and stability, and rectify local order.

When he returns to Beijing after making achievements, he should be promoted to the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

After Jiang Wantang's injuries improved and he was able to walk, the group prepared to return to Beijing.

Yun Shang did not return with Jiang Wantang because she had to go back to her hometown in Jiangnan to pay homage to her deceased family members and rebuild their tombs.

Jiang Wantang originally wanted to accompany her back, but Ji Wuyuan did not allow it. In addition, Lu Jinan volunteered, saying that he wanted to leave the Jinling Lu family and marry into the Yun family. These were what he should do.

Even though Yun Shang didn't agree.

But Jiang Wantang did not refuse.

The Jinling Lu family is the largest aristocratic family in Jiangnan, a family of scholars with a history of a hundred years. Moreover, Lu Jinan, as the eldest legitimate grandson, has always been trained as the clan heir.

But Lu Jinan broke off the relationship just for Yun Shang, which is not something an ordinary man can do.

Moreover, in this incident at Wuming Mountain, he went up the mountain alone to look for Yunchang despite the danger, which was still commendable.

Lu Jinan is brave and resourceful, with excellent looks and character. He has an immeasurable future and is deeply in love with Yun Shang...

Choosing him as Yunchang's future protector is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice.

Most importantly, Jiang Wantang could see that even though Yun Shang didn't forgive or accept Lu Jinan, she still had him in her heart...

Before parting, Xie Zhiyan patted Lu Jinan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I'll leave all the affairs of Jiangnan to you. I'll celebrate your success when you return to Beijing."

Lu Jinan looked back at him, grateful in his heart, his eyes determined: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will definitely live up to your trust.

On the other side, Jiang Wantang and Yun Shang were reluctantly saying goodbye in front of the carriage.

Jiang Wantang's eyes have not yet recovered. She can see faint light, but cannot withstand strong light. She is wearing a gorgeous pink dress, her eyes are covered with a layer of soft white silk, and her face is exquisite like a painting.

The breeze blew gently, ruffling her waterfall-like black hair. A few strands of hair playfully brushed across her fair cheeks. The sunlight cast soft shadows on her body, and the white silk covering her eyes, under the sunlight, had a holy and sad halo.

Jiang Wantang held Yun Shang's hand tightly, full of reluctance to let her go: "Sister will go back to the capital to wait for you first. Be careful in everything and don't let yourself be wronged."

She paused and added, "If you are really bullied or wronged, be sure to tell me. I will support you."

Tears glistened in Yun Shang's eyes, her voice trembled slightly, and she cried, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from the depths of her throat.

She said, "Sister, don't worry about me."

"Sister, this journey is long and arduous. I'm not by your side, so you have to take good care of yourself..."

Yun Shang didn't want to cry, but at the end, tears still flowed down unconsciously.

Jiang Wantang raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Yun Shang tried to force a smile and said in a trembling voice, "I'm fine, take care, sister."

Jiang Wantang smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

It's impossible to say I'm not worried. If it were like before coming to Jiangnan, it would be fine. His Majesty treated my sister like a treasure, but now the two of them...

They are obviously still having a quarrel.

Yun Shang originally didn't plan to return to her hometown in Jiangnan, but Jiang Wantang understood her thoughts and persuaded her to stay.

After so many twists and turns along the way, I finally made it to Jiangnan. Don't wait for everything to happen later, or you will have regrets.

After Jiang Wantang said goodbye to Yun Shang, he called Lu Jinan aside.

Her face was cold, and the first thing she said was, "You must have seen how Qi Ming died, right?"

Lu Jinan immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, "Yes, I saw it."

Not only did he see it, he even handled the body...

The way he died was so tragic that it could not be described by just one word: "tragic".

He was so nauseous that he couldn't eat for several days.

Jiang Wantang spoke again, her voice soft and cold: "Lu Jinan, I trust you this time and hand Yunshang over to you."

"If you dare to hurt her even a little bit, I guarantee that your death will be much more miserable than his..."

"have you understood?"

Lu Jinan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never let this happen."

Jiang Wantang said in a deep voice, "Remember what you said today."

"Yes." Lu Jinan said seriously.

Afterwards, Yun Shang came over and helped Jiang Wantang onto the carriage. Jiang Wantang had just walked to the side of the carriage when Ji Wuyuan, who was waiting inside, stood up and walked down. He directly picked up Jiang Wantang and carried her horizontally onto the carriage.

Seeing this, Zhang Long looked at Xie Zhiyan beside him. The latter had a calm expression and did not react at all.

But the clenched fists in his sleeves showed that his owner was not as calm and indifferent as he appeared.

Only Zhang Long understood the uneasiness and worry hidden in his eyes and heart.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong between Ji Wuyuan and Jiang Wantang recently.

The more this happened, the more Xie Zhiyan couldn't let any emotion show.

I can't help myself.

The word "emotion" is the most difficult to control.

In order to protect his sweetheart, the young man always hides his passionate love.

Be a qualified official and bystander.

Leading the way with a thank you banquet, the group set off for Beijing in a grand manner.

Compared to the thrilling and cautious journey there, the return journey was obviously much more relaxed, just like a trip.

The Jiangnan area has beautiful mountains and rivers and picturesque scenery.

The entire journey was on a flat road, which was planned by Ji Wuyuan before leaving the palace. He had thought that after finishing his business here, he would take her on a good trip.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned...
