I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 156 Jiang Xue returns home.

Lin Yanfu immediately thought of the envelope that suddenly appeared on his desk that day. On the envelope were listed the Empress Dowager's deeds.

Without thinking, he sent it to the palace overnight. The emperor was furious, but in order not to alert the enemy, he suppressed the matter.

Later, he went to the imperial prison in person and released Jiang Jian.

He thought about everyone around him, but the first person he thought of was Jiang Xue.

Lin Yanfu said excitedly: "Xue'er is indeed extraordinary."

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "My daughter, I owe her too much."

Lin Yanfu comforted her, "Okay, when you come back this time, you can make it up to her."

"kindness."

Outside the capital.

Jiang Xue and Pei Zhijin rode their horses quickly into the city. The streets were bustling with people, and it was still as prosperous as when she and Yiyi left together.

Jiang Xue pulled the reins and said to Pei Zhijin who was following beside her: "I'm going back."

Pei Zhijin nodded, his eyes slightly worried, and said, "Tell me if you have any news."

"Got it." Jiang Xue nodded slightly, then raised the whip and walked towards the Jiang Mansion.

Pei Zhijin looked at Jiang Xue's gradually receding back, his brows deepened. Wen Chuan, wearing the uniform of the Jinyiwei, trotted on the busy street, and then half-knelt in front of Pei Zhijin's horse.

"Sir, you are finally back."

Pei Zhijin jumped off his horse, then helped Wenchuan up and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

"This is my responsibility as a subordinate."

"Well, let's go back first."

"Yes."

Beizhen Fusi.

Pei Zhijin had changed into a dark red Jinyiwei uniform, wearing an official hat, a jade belt around his waist, and a Jinyiwei token hanging around his waist. He looked full of vigor and handsome, and his posture seemed to be more upright than before.

After Pei Zhijin sat down steadily, Wenchuan handed him a memorial and said, "Sir, this was personally sent by Eunuch Hong who is beside His Majesty. It contains some things about the Queen Mother."

Pei Zhijin took the letter and read it. The dense words on it filled the entire letter. After a moment, Pei Zhijin closed the letter and looked at Wenchuan and said, "It's recorded in great detail. Who did it?"

Wenchuan replied with a serious expression: "Your Excellency, this was given to His Majesty by Prime Minister Lin. Eunuch Hong did not specify who sent it."

Pei Zhijin immediately stood up and said, "Enter the palace."

"Yes."

------

The Council Hall in the palace.

The candles swayed slightly in the room. Everyone was driven out of the hall, leaving only Pei Zhijin and Li Lingchen inside.

"Zhijin, this is the letter that Prime Minister Lin gave to me. Please take a look." Li Lingchen handed the letter to Pei Zhijin.

Pei Zhijin took the letter respectfully. After seeing the peach blossom mark on it, he was slightly stunned. Then he remembered that the letters Jiang Xue had received in the past few days also had the peach blossom mark on them.

"Is there anything wrong?" Li Lingchen looked at Pei Zhijin in a daze and asked.

Pei Zhijin came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it." Then he slowly opened the letter and began to read.

Li Lingchen nodded. After a while, Pei Zhijin put the letter aside and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished reading it."

"How credible do you think what is said above is?"

"This letter appeared so suddenly, there is no basis for it, but I can't believe it completely, but I can't disbelieve it either."

"In your opinion, can I take this opportunity to take back the military power from the Queen Mother?" Li Lingchen looked at Pei Zhijin with deep eyes.

Pei Zhijin stood up, bowed to Li Lingchen and said, "If the emperor wants to do it, I will do my best."

Li Lingchen slapped the table excitedly, stood up and walked to Pei Zhijin, and said with a smile: "Okay, with your words, I can give it a try."

Pei Zhijin nodded slightly.

Then he looked at Li Lingchen, as if he wanted to speak but didn't want to.

Li Lingchen looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Pei Zhijin then said: "General Jiang's legs..."

Li Lingchen stopped smiling after hearing this, and lowered his head with a guilty look on his face, saying, "I was careless. I didn't expect that someone would attack him after putting him in the imperial prison. By the time I sent people over, General Jiang's leg was already..."

"Is it the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother can't reach into the Imperial Prison." Li Lingchen looked up at Pei Zhijin and said, "It was someone from Fengyun Tower... Qingye."

"Qing Ye?" Pei Zhijin frowned.

Li Lingchen nodded and continued, "I don't know how Qingye got into the imperial prison and wanted to kill Jiang Jian. Fortunately, I rushed there in time, otherwise General Jiang would have met with an accident. However, his leg..."

Pei Zhijin didn't expect that Qing Ye had been lurking in the capital and was even imprisoned.

"Your Majesty, I will withdraw first."

"Well, you have been running around all these days. You have worked hard. You should have a good rest these few days. There will be more difficult battles to fight later."

"Yes." Pei Zhijin bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.

Wenchuan was guarding outside and saw Pei Zhijin coming out, so he quickly walked over and whispered, "Sir, Cui Yu just hit his head against the wall and committed suicide."

Pei Zhijin's expression turned cold after hearing this, and he said in a cold voice: "Go to the imperial prison." Then he walked down the stairs quickly.

When Jiang Xue returned to Jiang's house, she couldn't wait to jump off her horse and ran into the mansion.

The scenery in the mansion is not as good as it used to be, and there are fewer servants. There are only a few scattered around doing sweeping chores in the yard. The housekeeper was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with a broom and watched Jiang Xue come in from the door.

He blinked hard to make sure he was not mistaken, then he dropped the broom and ran towards Jiang Jian's room, "General, General! The young lady is back."

Aunt Zheng was feeding Jiang Jian medicine. When she heard the housekeeper yelling, she put the medicine aside, stood up, opened the door, and said anxiously, "Oh, don't you know that the most important thing for the master now is to rest?"

The housekeeper covered his mouth in a hurry, but still couldn't help saying, "Aunt, it's the young lady who's back, it's the young lady!"

"What did you say, say it again?"

"Miss is back."

"Really?" Aunt Zheng smiled happily, and then looked behind the housekeeper, "Where is Xue'er?"

"This will be in the front yard."

"Come on, take me to see it." Aunt Zheng said as she was about to lift her skirt and walk down the stairs.

Jiang Xue said softly: "Auntie..."

Aunt Zheng was stunned and looked at Jiang Xue who was standing not far away. Suddenly, her eyes were blocked by something, her nose was sore, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Xue'er, is it really you?"

Aunt Zheng walked towards Jiang Xue incredibly quickly.

Jiang Xue looked at Aunt Zheng's incredible eyes and excited expression, and said with a slight smile: "It's me, Aunt."

Aunt Zheng hugged Jiang Xue excitedly, as if a stone in her heart had fallen to the ground, and said: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. I won't let your father send you away in the future. Poor child, you must have suffered a lot these days, right?"

Jiang Xue smiled and shook her head, but tears welled up in her eyes, and the housekeeper was also crying beside her.

Jiang Jian's somewhat old voice rang out from inside the room, "Ahem, have you forgotten me?"

Aunt Zheng stopped crying and looked at Jiang Xue. She didn't know what to say about Jiang Jian, but Jiang Xue spoke first, "I know about father's condition. Don't worry, aunt. Father's leg will be fine."

After hearing this, Aunt Zheng cried even harder.

When Jiang Xue entered the house, Aunt Zheng knew that the father and daughter wanted to have a private conversation, so she went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Jian were the only ones left in the room. Jiang Xue slowly walked up to Jiang Jian and said with her head bowed, "Father, I'm sorry. It was my daughter who was willful and killed my grandmother."

Jiang Jian's eyes flashed with sadness, and then he said with a smile on his face: "Silly child, how can I blame you for this? Things in the court are changing rapidly. If you want to talk about implicate others, it is me who implicated you."

"Father,....."

"Well, now that we're back, let's not talk about these unhappy things. By the way, what happened on Baishan Mountain?"

A gloomy look flashed across Jiang Xue's eyes, and then she told Jiang Jian everything that happened on Baishan Mountain, omitting the fact that she was imprisoned in the cold cave.

Although Jiang Xue didn't say anything, Jiang Jian could guess that Jiang Xue must have suffered a lot.

After saying that, Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Jian's legs, and then whispered, "Father, don't worry, I will never let Qing Ye go."

Jiang Jian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he looked at Jiang Xue and asked, "How did you know it was Qing Ye, and the letter sent to Prime Minister Lin's residence? How did you know so clearly?"
