Chapter 201 Doctor Xu is Missing
"Not always,"
"..."
Eunuch An looked at Emperor Shunqing and his son, who were chatting peacefully together, and could not help but feel happy for them.
Now the only unmarried prince is Prince Jing. Emperor Shunqing feels guilty about his treatment of Prince Jing. If Empress Xie were still alive, Prince Jing would not have to suffer at the border since childhood. Now that he has returned triumphantly, Emperor Shunqing naturally wants to make amends.
Seeing the uncontrollable joy in Xiao Jingchuan's eyes, Emperor Shunqing was also very pleased. Thinking of how much he owed him over the years, Emperor Shunqing couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Since he could not give him more rewards, he could give this gift to Jiang Zhongming. With such a powerful father-in-law leaving, Jingchuan would not be too passive. After making up his mind, Emperor Shunqing's eyes were full of smiles. He was ready to wait for Jiang Zhongming to come back and then promote his position.
Jiang Zhongming didn't know at this time that when he returned to Kyoto, there would be a wealth of wealth waiting for him.
Emperor Shunqing invited Xiao Jingchuan to stay for dinner. Seeing him fidgeting, he couldn't help but feel jealous. People say that men who are introverted should stay at home, while women who are extroverted should obey their husbands. But when it came to him, he felt that Xiao Jingchuan was the opposite. He was so impatient, like a bride waiting to be married.
Seeing his absent-minded look, Emperor Shunqing couldn't help but look at him with disdain and said:
"Okay, now I have done what I promised you. You are not a child anymore. Tomorrow I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious date for you. You can get married on that day and it will be a relief for me. I am tired. If you have nothing else to do, you can go back.
But I must be frank. General Jiang is a man of great military achievements and a world-renowned name. I once promised him that his daughter's marriage would be his. It would be inappropriate for me to grant you a marriage decree now. If you cannot obtain General Jiang's consent, I will not help you. If General Jiang comes to me to cancel the engagement, I will agree!"
Listening to Emperor Shunqing's words, Xiao Jingchuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Emperor Shunqing actually had a trick up his sleeve. However, now that they were in love, they naturally wouldn't be afraid of facing General Jiang's test. Looking at Emperor Shunqing's gloating look, Xiao Jingchuan's lips curled up slightly, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately looked at Emperor Shunqing and said:
"As long as His Majesty grants the marriage, His Majesty will not have to worry about the rest. I will make the arrangements myself!"
Listening to Xiao Jingchuan's confident words, Emperor Shunqing's eyes flashed with surprise. He still remembered the reason why Jiang Zhongming refused. How long has it been since then? Has Xiao Jingchuan already got hold of Jiang Zhongming?
You know, although Jiang Zhongming doesn't talk much, he is famous for his stubborn temper. He has heard that Jiang Zhongming treats his only daughter very tenderly. He doesn't believe that Xiao Jingchuan can easily marry a girl from the Jiang family!
It seemed that he did it on purpose. It was so boring to stay in this huge palace. He was looking forward to how Jiang Zhongming would make things difficult for him.
Emperor Shunqing looked at Xiao Jingchuan, who was so clueless, with a hint of smile in his eyes. "Since you are so confident, I will be waiting for your good news!"
Xiao Jingchuan naturally didn't miss the amusement in Emperor Shunqing's eyes, and immediately bowed and saluted: "Your humble servant obeys your command and will certainly not disappoint the emperor. If there is nothing else, your humble servant will take his leave first! "
Although Emperor Shunqing had some reluctance in his eyes, seeing Xiao Jingchuan's anxious look, he did not continue to keep him. He looked at him and waved his hand gently, then said lightly: "Retreat!"
Xiao Jingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then bowed and left.
Watching Xiao Jingchuan's gradually disappearing figure, Emperor Shunqing's eyes were filled with complexity. He wondered if the relationship between them would ever be reconciled.
Eunuch An had served Emperor Shunqing for so long, so he naturally understood the regret he felt at that moment. The Emperor's concern for Prince Jing was no less than Empress Xie's! However, now that he was gone, no amount of words would help.
Suppressing the helplessness in his eyes, Eunuch An looked at Emperor Shunqing and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should rest early!"
Listening to Eunuch An's words, Emperor Shunqing slowly withdrew his gaze, put down the memorial in his hand, and then looked at Eunuch An and said, "Well, there are endless chores to deal with every day, so it's not bad to rest early!"
"Hey! Your Majesty is right to think so! Now that the princes have grown up and can stand on their own, Your Majesty can let them share some trivial matters with you. This way, Your Majesty can also be more relaxed."
A trace of worry flashed in Eunuch An's eyes, but he still said it in the end. Fortunately, Emperor Shunqing did not react too much, which made Eunuch An feel relieved.
Emperor Shunqing always wanted to be as relaxed as Eunuch An said, but now that several princes were staring at him, he did have the intention, but he was afraid that they didn't have the energy! This matter can't be rushed, now we can only take it one step at a time! Emperor Shunqing sighed softly, then looked at Eunuch An and said softly:
"Let's go! Go back!"
Xiao Jingchuan naturally didn't know about Emperor Shunqing's worries. At this moment, he walked out of the palace and looked back at the brightly lit palace in the distance. His heart couldn't help but calm down. He no longer felt as alienated as before. Perhaps in the place he couldn't see, there was someone who was guarding him unknown to others.
Thinking of Emperor Shunqing's increasingly haggard appearance, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but lower his eyes, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. Since he enjoyed the wealth and honor brought by the royal family, he also had to bear the heavy burden of his family, country and the world. Perhaps he should try to be like his father and take on the responsibilities he should have.
Yun Chi looked at Xiao Jingchuan and hurried to his front. He looked at Xiao Jingchuan and bowed respectfully. Then he looked at Xiao Jingchuan and said respectfully, "Your Highness, this is bad! Doctor Xu is missing!"
Yun Chi's words interrupted Xiao Jingchuan's thoughts. Listening to Yun Chi's words, Xiao Jingchuan couldn't help but frown. He looked at Yun Chi puzzledly and said, "Hasn't Doctor Xu been in the mansion all this time? How could he not be there? What happened?"
Listening to Xiao Jingchuan's words, Yun Chi naturally did not dare to hide anything and quickly spoke: "I heard from the people below that Doctor Xu went out of the city to collect herbs some time ago, and he did not return for several days. Today, the emperor sent someone to ask Doctor Xu to treat Concubine Yuan, and only then did he know that Doctor Xu had been missing for several days.
