Forbidden City, Hall of Nourishing Heart.
At this moment, Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, absorbing the spiritual energy around him.
Since he successfully broke through the middle stage of Qi training, his perception of the spiritual energy around him has reached a new level, and even the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is much faster than before.
The spiritual energy escaping in the air, after being absorbed into the body by Jiajing, was guided by Jiajing, passed through the limbs and bones, and finally gathered into the cyclone in the Dantian.
Every time he completes the cycle of heaven and earth, the mana in Jiajing's body will increase to varying degrees, and his entire temperament will also change quietly.
After a long time, after Jiajing had absorbed all the last few rays of spiritual energy, he slowly opened his eyes. After roughly sensing the situation in his body, he shook his head and said silently to himself.
"It seems that the spiritual energy I have now is just a drop in the bucket for my current practice!"
At this moment, Lu Fang's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
After Jiajing heard this, he immediately sat on the dragon chair and said: "Well, come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Fang was seen entering the Heart Cultivation Hall with hurried steps.
As soon as he entered it, he saw Lu Fang kneeling on the ground and said with a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, not long ago, I received news that Xu Jie had already rushed to the Yan Mansion in a sedan chair."
Jiajing took in the expression on Lu Fang's face and spoke comforting words.
"Lu Fang, you can rest assured, Xu Jie knows exactly what he is doing."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
After listening to Jiajing's words, Lu Fang also had a clear understanding. As usual, she came to stand beside Jiajing without saying a word.
…
"Mr. Xu Ge, may I ask you what's the reason for coming here this time?"
In the waiting room of Yan Mansion, Yan Shifan turned his gaze to Xu Jie aside and asked.
Xu Jie noticed the vigilance contained in Yan Shifan's words, chuckled, and immediately explained.
"It's like this. Since Mr. Yan Ge has been unwell recently, he is temporarily unable to handle matters."
"Therefore, His Majesty has asked me to temporarily take charge of the affairs left by Mr. Yan Ge. The first reason for coming to visit is to learn the specific facts from Mr. Yan Ge!"
When Xu Jie said this, he deliberately paused for a moment before continuing.
"The second reason is to come and visit Mr. Yan Ge. After all, I have been an official in the same dynasty for so many years..."
When Xu Jie said this, he had a sincere look on his face, and his expression seemed to say that he and Yan Song were close friends who had known each other for many years and were irreconcilable.
When Yan Shifan saw this, the expression on his face did not change, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and said silently to himself.
"Bah, Xu Jie, you shameless villain, you are clearly here to see my Yan family's jokes!"
"Also, you have given this reason, how can I still refuse you?"
Afterwards, Yan Shifan organized the words in his mind and said slowly.
"Thank you Mr. Xu Ge for your concern. My father's current physical condition is not very good. I hope you will pay attention to the time later and don't delay my father's rest!"
Seeing this, Xu Jie nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao Ge, I, Xu, am not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do!"
Seeing this situation, Yan Shifan had no choice but to stand up from his seat and speak to Xu Jie.
"Mr. Xu Ge, please come with me!"
Seeing this, Xu Jie immediately followed Yan Shifan and headed towards Yan Song's room.
After coming out of the waiting room and walking through a long corridor, Xu Jie, led by Yan Shifan, arrived near Yan Song's room.
Before entering the door, Xu Jie smelled a strong smell of herbs. The smell was so strong that he couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Xu Ge, please wait a moment. I will go and inform my father right away."
"Please."
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he entered Yan Song's room, while Xu Jie waited there with his usual expression.
In the room, Yan Song was holding a book in his hand, reading it with interest. When he saw Yan Shifan coming in, he couldn't help but frowned and asked immediately.
"What, what happened?"
"Father, Xu Jie personally came to visit and is waiting outside!"
When Yan Shifan saw this, he did not dare to hide anything, and immediately told Yan Song the whole story.
After Yan Song understood the ins and outs of the matter, he frowned and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Don't worry about this matter, just let him in!"
After hearing this, Yan Shifan looked stern and responded.
"Yes, father, the child will go right away."
After Yan Shifan finished speaking, he left Yan Song's room without looking back. Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan's leaving back and narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mr. Xu Ge, you've been waiting for a long time, you can go in now!"
After Yan Shifan came out of Yan Song's room, he bowed his hands to Xu Jie and said respectfully.
"Um."
Xu Jie nodded, opened the door and entered Yan Song's room.
"Mr. Xu Ge is here, sit down!"
At this moment, Yan Song was lying on the bed. When he saw Xu Jie coming in, he looked quite excited, pointing to the seat beside him and saying this.
Xu Jie sat down in his seat, immediately looked away from Yan Song, and said.
"Xu has taken the liberty to come to visit this time. I hope Mr. Yan Ge will not blame him!"
"No matter where you are, it's enough for you to come visit me and talk to this bad old man like me."
Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie beside him and said slowly, with a look of dejection that could not be concealed in his tone.
And this couldn't help but give Xu Jie a slight misunderstanding, that is: "Yan Song is really old, he can no longer support it!"
Yan Song didn't pay attention to Xu Jie on the side, but said to himself.
"My old bones can't last much longer!"
"After I leave, the position of chief minister of the cabinet will be yours sooner or later."
Hearing this, Xu Jie's pupils suddenly shrank, he forced down the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and said in a deep voice.
"No, no, Mr. Yan Ge, your body is still very strong!"
"In my opinion, you'll have to be one for another ten or twenty years."
When Yan Song heard this, he didn't have much emotion. Instead, he shook his head, his tone full of loneliness.
"I know my physical condition well, but now I have to ask someone to do it for me even when I post books."
As the person who knows Yan Song best in the world, Xu Jie naturally knows that Yan Song has the habit of posting books, and he always does it himself and never lets anyone do it for him.
"What kind of tricks is this Yan Song playing on me? Could it be that Yan Song has given up?"
Suddenly, such an idea suddenly appeared in Xu Jie's mind.
But soon, this idea was rejected by Xu Jie himself.
"No, it's impossible. Based on my understanding of Yan Song, it's absolutely impossible for him to give up so easily!"
"What is this Yan Song thinking about?"
Xu Jie squinted his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this moment, Yan Song chuckled and brought the topic back on track.
"Those words just now should be regarded as the thoughts of an old man like me!"
"Mr. Xu Ge, why are you here this time?"
"Mr. Xu Ge? Mr. Xu Ge?"
Seeing that Xu Jie was still in a daze, Yan Song couldn't help but remind him.
Seeing this, Xu Jie suddenly came to his senses and responded.
"Oh, the thing is like this, because Mr. Yan Ge is unwell, His Majesty has temporarily handed over the affairs you are responsible for to me, so..."
Before Xu Jie finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yan Song.
"Since it is your Majesty's order, then Mr. Xu Ge, just do it without asking for my opinion!"
Yan Song took in the look of astonishment on Xu Jie's face, paused for a moment, and then continued.
"Those unfinished files are kept in my study. You can ask Yan Shifan to accompany you later and take them all away. I will be very happy and free."
"In addition, many matters related to the transformation of the treasure ship are also included."
Yan Song was talking, and then added this sentence, the meaning of the words is self-evident.
"Um."
Xu Jie was silent for a long time, then responded in a deep voice.
