Chapter 940 Your daughter is not an easy person to deal with
Natural disasters and man-made disasters were raging in Lingzhou, and urgent reports from eight hundred miles away flew into the imperial city like snowflakes.
The red wooden desk in the Ministry of Revenue was littered with opened urgent wax letters, and grain transfer documents written in red ink were sent out that night. The official grain at the grain transport dock was packed into sacks under the light of torches, and the white breath of the soldiers escorting the grain condensed on their eyelashes and turned into frost.
Tang Chuyu looked exhausted, having not been home for three days.
After Emperor Zhaowu summoned the Imperial Medical Bureau's envoy Shen Yuanshi to the palace overnight, the entire Imperial Medical Bureau began to work day and night.
The medicine boys stumbled and bundled mugwort and medicine boxes onto the carriage, and the imperial doctors who were willing to sign up to go to Tiema City rushed over.
Among them, Kang Chenyan and Xiyue were particularly active.
"We've been to Iron Horse City before, and we're familiar with the place."
"We are familiar with the princess, so it will be convenient for us to do things."
Finally, the couple led the team to Tiema City overnight.
Xiyue was so excited that she ate a few more bowls of rice, her face flushed, "Husband, I will be able to see our wife soon."
"Our lady needs me by her side the most right now..."
"Husband, you don't know that I spend days like years in the capital."
Kang Chenyan looked up at his wife without saying anything. It was so sad. Is it okay for his wife to spend days like years with him...
The Ministry of War's copper kettle dripped just after three o'clock in the morning when the second wave of urgent reports arrived. The report that two third-rank garrison generals had been imprisoned was lying on the desk of the Minister of War.
The charges are shocking.
This is a shame for the Ministry of War, and even more of a shame for the Minister of War.
Pan Yizi and Jiang Zhongxin were both his subordinates who were promoted by him, and they made him proud.
Just like that, he went to jail!
He even wondered if there was some misunderstanding, but the document was written in black and white, the charges were clear, the facts were clear, and the evidence was irrefutable.
The vermilion seal of "Seal of Princess Haiyan" is clearly visible, leaving no room for doubt.
Instead, a letter from home arrived late. It was first sent from Gongcheng, and traveled by ordinary horse post, with a three-cent silver note with the Chinese character "常" attached to it. It was mixed in the pile of business documents and slowly swayed for more than half a month before finally reaching Eunuch Qi.
That day, Eunuch Qi was pruning the plum branches in the imperial garden.
The scissors fell to the ground with a clang, startling a plum tree and dropping its petals. "The one with white hair? Is he Lord Zhuo, who even pant when he walks?"
Ah, the sky is falling! His hands were shaking as he held the letter, "My daughter is at the age of a beautiful flower..."
She must have been heartbroken by that damn little boatman, so she just married someone randomly!
He hates Xiao Zhouzi!
Eunuch Qi rushed into the Qingshou Palace like a gust of wind and shouted, which scared Xiao Yunde.
He got up from the ground and walked around, "How can my daughter marry a dying man? No, no, no, absolutely not! I don't agree! Absolutely not!"
Xiao Yunde hurriedly stopped him, "Youen, stop hanging around in front of me. You're making me dizzy."
Eunuch Qi said with a bitter face, "This old servant is going to faint, Your Majesty! Please think of a way to save my daughter's wonderful life..."
"You have to believe in my daughter. She will never let her daughter jump into the fire pit." Xiao Yunde patted Eunuch Qi's shoulder, "I can understand your feelings. But if Bei Hui can really marry Lord Zhuo, it can be regarded as good fortune."
Lord Zhuo is a rare talent in a century. He is also the youngest family head in the capital and the most promising person in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Eunuch Qi grumbled, extremely dissatisfied, "Last time when you persuaded me to agree to Xiao Zhouzi, you also boasted so much. What was the result?"
Xiao Yunde hated him for not fighting back, "How could I know that Xiao Zhouzi's last kick would miss the target? His head was caught in the door."
The master and servant exchanged a few words, and together they gave Wei Xingzhou, who was on a mission in Liang State, a good scolding, which finally relieved them a little.
Eunuch Qi calmed down and thought about it, "Why did Bei Hui suddenly want to marry Master Zhuo? It must have been Master Zhuo who proposed it first."
Why did Lord Zhuo propose to marry Bei Hui?
He frowned and sneered, "Humph! This guy is going to die. He wants to get married to give an explanation to his family. It would be best if he could leave a child. This would be his contribution to the Zhuo family."
He had been trained in the palace for a long time, so he could see through Zhuo Qiran's thoughts. Even from a distance of thousands of miles, he could tell exactly what was going on.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this bastard! What a good idea! How could he harm his daughter?
Xiao Yunde comforted Eunuch Qi, "Your daughter is not an easy person to deal with. She can't live without my daughter, but she wants to have a child by her side. I guess this is what she is thinking. Get rid of the father and keep the son, it's the best of both worlds."
Eunuch Qi was not happy to hear someone say that Bei Hui was so ruthless, even if that person was the emperor. So he got angry and said slowly, "Don't say that about my daughter. Which girl doesn't want a good ending?"
Xiao Yunde indulged Eunuch Qi and still focused on comforting him, "Don't worry, my daughter won't let your daughter suffer. Lord Zhuo won't die, and Bei Hui won't suffer."
The master and servant went to the young master's mansion in the evening of that day.
Xiao Yunde hadn't seen Tang Chujun for seven or eight days and missed him terribly. With the busy government affairs, he, the retired emperor, was not at all relaxed.
Of course, Emperor Zhaowu was now extremely busy, which made Xiao Yunde slightly relieved.
"Why have you lost weight again?" Tang Chujun asked this when he saw him for the first time.
Xiao Yunde's Adam's apple moved slightly as he laughed softly, "Jun'er, you always say this every time you see me. Are you questioning whether Youen has taken good care of me? Youen--" He deliberately dragged out his voice and looked at Eunuch Qi, "It seems that my meal list should be handed over to Chu Jun for review."
Eunuch Qi hurriedly bowed, his whisk swinging in a round arc at his elbow, "The Empress Dowager is wise, I watch over the kitchen every day, and I dare not even spend a penny more on the icing of the Fuling Cake."
"Eunuch Qi!" Tang Chujun's ears instantly turned red. "I haven't even gone through the betrothal ceremony yet, are you trying to embarrass me by calling me that?"
"The Ministry of Rites has even drafted the mother-of-pearl pattern for the dressing box. This is a sure marriage." Eunuch Qi stole a glance at his master's expression and won his master's heart.
There is a reason why he is so popular and has the Holy Heart.
Xiao Yunde nodded, "If we can't get married, there is only one reason, and that is my death..."
"Pooh!"
"Bah!"
Tang Chujun almost stepped on the pearls on her embroidered shoes, and Eunuch Qi's whisk almost flew off. They both said "Pooh" at the nonsense.
"You're so old, why are you still so outspoken? If you... Humph, I won't live either."
Xiao Yunde immediately turned serious and cursed three times at the sky with Eunuch Qi. Seeing that she was still twisting the handkerchief, he wanted to hug her immediately - but unfortunately the dragon and phoenix wedding candles had not been lit yet, so he had to observe etiquette.
"I think the shad soup should be ready..." Tang Chujun suddenly turned around and went to the small kitchen, her pomegranate skirt sweeping across the threshold like a fleeing cloud.
She indeed felt that Xiao Yunde had lost weight, so she hurried to prepare some food to nourish him.
Xiao Yunde came today to tell someone something important, and he had to tell him slowly, so he obediently ate all the meals that Tang Chujun prepared for him.
At last, he sighed with emotion, "I remember that year, it was really not easy to get a bite of food from you..."
