Make your ex-boyfriend cry? That's easy!

After a long while, General Jiang finally couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your Majesty's actions are really... Alas!"

Mrs. Jiang looked at her son Jiang Yan with a worried look on her face. Her eyes were slightly red and she said with a trembling voice, "The plague is rampant in Luozhou right now. The situation is extremely critical."

"Ayan, you've been in poor health ever since you had a high fever when you were a child. If you get caught in a cold, you'll get a cold."

"This trip to Luozhou to provide disaster relief is not only long and arduous, but we could also be attacked by plague at any time. What if... what if something unexpected happens?"

By the end of her speech, Mrs. Jiang was in tears. She really couldn't imagine what her life would be like after losing her beloved son.

Jiang Yan's face also looked very ugly. His originally handsome face now looked pale and haggard because of the wounds torn by the big movements he made during the day.

He knew very well that this disaster relief mission was not a good thing. He had just received a huge reward during the day, but at night he was sent to a dangerous place in such a hurry. It was obvious that the old emperor had made no secret of his hostility and suppression towards the Jiang family.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, trying to suppress his surging emotions, then reached out and gently put his arm around Mrs. Jiang's slightly thin shoulders, saying in a gentle tone:

"Mom, don't worry, it's really okay. Jun Shisan and I are going together this time. With our abilities, we will definitely be able to come back smoothly and safely. When we return, I will definitely take Jun Shisan to taste the delicious barbecue made by mother."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang quickly wiped the tears that were quietly slipping from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, but she still forced a smile and responded, "Okay, that's good... As long as you are safe and sound, I will be relieved."

At this moment, Jun Linyuan walked over quickly with a gloomy expression.

His originally handsome face now seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds, and his brows were tightly furrowed together, forming a deep "川" character.

He spoke apologetically, "I'm truly sorry. I never imagined this would ultimately implicate the General's Mansion. But rest assured, tomorrow morning, I will personally go to the palace to explain everything to my father."

However, before Jun Linyuan could finish his words, Jiang Yan reached out and held his arm, saying seriously:

"No need, Jun Shisan. Things have come to this point. Even if you go and plead for mercy, I'm afraid it will be of no avail."

"After all, even you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, have been sent there this time. I don't think your words will have much impact in front of the old emperor. Instead, they may even cause him more disgust and aversion."

"So, for now, we have no choice but to rely on our own strength and do everything we can to survive. We must live longer than that old emperor!"

General Jiang, who had been silent the whole time, frowned as he listened to his youngest son repeatedly calling him "Old Emperor." He glanced around warily and said in a low voice, "Be careful, be cautious with your words. Don't forget that walls have ears."

Jiang Ziyi, standing nearby, gently shook his head at General Jiang and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, Dad. This brat is very clever and capable. In my opinion, the area around our house is already full of Tingfeng Tower spies."

"Tingfeng Tower?"

General Jiang certainly knew Tingfeng Tower, and he certainly understood the implication of Jiang Ziyi's words.
