Aji knelt on the ground, and after a while of silence, he asked, "Master, when will we... go?"

"tonight."

"tonight?!"

Aji was stunned, obviously not expecting his master to make a decision so quickly.

He thought for a while and reminded: "If we are leaving tonight, we will prepare now. Master, then you are going to Dongshi to find a cousin and the others said..."

"No need, just send me a letter to Ye."

He Yuan spoke, turned around and walked to the desk, picked up his pen and wrote a brief message, and handed it to Aji.

"Go quickly and return quickly."

Aji hurriedly put away and left the yard quickly.

At the same time, Xue Jiangli, who was still in the pharmacy, looked at He Cheng with a serious look, and didn't know what he was thinking.

So he brought a bowl of hot soup to him and said carelessly: "Second cousin, what are you thinking so engrossed?"

He Cheng quickly reacted and shook his head: "I didn't think of anything."

As he said that, his eyes turned around and he drank the bowl of hot soup absent-mindedly, but it was burned to his mouth and vomited out again.

"Fangchun, come here quickly with a clean veil!"

At this time, the shopkeeper Yuan came to Xue Jiangli politely and asked, "Miss Four, the time for the market is almost here."

Xue Jiangli glanced outside and found that it was already sunset.

So he greeted He Cheng: "Second cousin, let's go back now. Didn't my aunt say that she would stew big bone soup today?"

But what she didn't expect was that when they arrived home, they saw Ye and Mrs. He looked dissatisfied.

Xue Jiangli stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Auntie, grandmother, has something happened?"

Ye took a deep breath and told her: "That... Yuan'er has something to do, he has left Jin for the time being and will not come back after a while."

As soon as these words were spoken, He Cheng and Xue Jiangli were stunned.

"Li Jin?"

"Mom, where have you been?!"

Xue Jiangli frowned slightly, very surprised.

Ye quickly said, "Your elder brother went to Yan Chi, saying that he was a very good friend with your father in the past. If you had an accident, your elder brother went there to see the situation."

"Brother is not in good health, how can he be so tired after a long journey?!"

He Cheng said anxiously: "Mom, why don't you persuade him! Is there anything more anxious than your body?"

Ye opened her mouth, and she could do nothing.

At this time, Xue Jiangli asked, "Auntie, did that cousin bring medicine when he was leaving?"

"Yuan'er must have brought it. Don't worry too much. When he arrives at Yan Chi, he will definitely send a message back."

Somehow, Xue Jiangli's heart suddenly felt empty.

He left so anxiously that he didn't even say hello...

Although the poison has almost been cured, it has not been cured yet. How can Yan Chi bear it so far?

Mrs. He saw her loss, held her hand and comforted her softly.

"Yuan'er said she would come back for a while, and we must believe him."

Xue Jiangli smiled and nodded: "Yes, let's wait for him to come back."

Little did he know that He Cheng's eyes were locked at this time, and he didn't expect his elder brother to leave at this time.

Wouldn't it take some time for me to leave?

Thinking of this, he asked Ye, "Didn't your brother tell me when he will come back?"

Ye shook his head and said, "Your brother will be able to behave properly and you will be able to come back soon."

Everyone has left, and it is useless to say too much.

Xue Jiangli greeted He Cheng for dinner.

There was one person missing at the dinner table, and I always felt that the atmosphere was a little bit wrong.

At night, Xue Jiangli passed by He Yuan's house and stayed for a while.

She took a deep breath and secretly prayed that her cousin would be safe all the way.

The next day.

It was drizzling and very gloomy in the sky.

Xue Jiangli came to the medicine shop with an oil umbrella. Manager Yuan quickly stepped forward to collect the umbrella for her: "Miss Four, you are here. There is a young man who has been waiting for you for a long time."

Manager Yuan winked at her, looking panicked.

Xue Jiangli looked over in confusion and was about to ask a question when he suddenly saw a figure of jade brocade standing on the corridor in the backyard.

He had a gentle face and a little smile on his face.

Xue Jiangli walked closer and saw his appearance clearly, and was shocked.

He quickly lifted his skirt and went up to meet him.

"Nine...Your Highness?"

She lowered her voice, looked at the guests coming and going in the shop behind her, and quickly invited Zhao Zhen to the inner hall.

Zhao Zhen was dressed in regular clothes, with a handsome face, and had no princely airs at all.

Xue Jiangxi never expected that the ninth prince would come to see him in person.

When she arrived at the inner hall, she quickly gave a big gift, but Zhao Zhen held it up with her hand: "It's okay, let's sit down the fourth lady."

Seeing this, Xue Jiangli didn't say much, sat in front of Zhao Zhen and asked: "If your highness has something to do, please let the guard notify me. How can you let me go in person?"

Zhao Zhen saw a tea cup on the table, so he poured a cup of tea casually, handed it to Xue Jiangli first, and said with a smile.

"Miss Four, don't be polite to me. Here, there is no distinction between His Highness's daughter, you and I are just friends."

"Miss Four helped me a lot in the southern Yunnan incident. My father was also very happy, especially after knowing that it was the woman who helped me with medicine and was even more appreciative."

Xue Jiangli smiled slightly and said disapprovingly: "If a woman in the country can go to southern Yunnan, her nobles are more embarrassed. Otherwise, how could I have the opportunity to come into contact with such honors?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Zhen looked at her with admiration.

He simply turned straight: "I came here today to ask the fourth lady, you have made great contributions to deal with the epidemic, but what unfulfilled wishes do you have?"

Xue Jiangqi didn't expect that he came here just to help him fulfill his wish?

This is a bit unreasonable.

She smiled softly and said, "Your Highness, I am living a happy and healthy life now. I am very satisfied with the current situation and have no unfulfilled wishes for the time being."

"I dare not take credit for the matter in southern Yunnan, and everything is just doing my duty."

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely take this opportunity to meet some requirements.

But these four ladies don't want anything.

Zhao Zhen asked tentatively: "Does the Fourth Miss really have nothing to want? For example... help He return to the General's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiangli suddenly realized that the Ninth Prince had something in his words. Could it be that he was here to test him?

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head: "The court has its own responsibilities in the matter of uncle. Even if she returns to the general's mansion, it should be that her cousin and uncle should have shown their true skills to reverse the current situation."

Zhao Zhen's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes looked at Xue Jiangli with a unique meaning.

Unintentionally met Zhao Zhen's sight, Xue Jiangli suddenly remembered something.

Suddenly he raised his eyes and spoke.

"But... I suddenly remembered something and needed to talk to His Highness."

Zhao Zhen put down the teacup and listened attentively.

Xue Jiangli said: "It's about the palace banquet at the beginning of next month."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen's brows moved and looked at her.
