The next day, Xiao Jingzhi was summoned to the palace early.
The emperor and Xiao Jingzhi stood on the corridor outside Yangxin Hall, which had an unobstructed view of the harem.
"Last time you said you would get married as soon as possible, but I hesitated a little, and the marriage fell through."
The emperor's tone when he said this was filled with a hint of regret.
Xiao Jingzhi said calmly: "Brother Huang may have realized that this marriage is not the best."
"If I let the emperor's brother arrange it, what would be the best way to arrange the marriage in the general's palace?" the emperor asked calmly.
Xiao Jingzhi was as indifferent as ever, "My brother has no intention of interfering, and I don't know what is best."
The emperor was used to Xiao Jingzhi's sarcastic remarks, so he was not angry, "You have never let me down before."
"Many ministers say that I attach great importance to the third prince but ignore the prince. You must have some ideas about this."
At any rate, Xiao Jingzhi was not much different in age from the prince Xiao Linjian and the third prince Xiao Linyou, and he had a lot of contact with them when he was young.
"It's useless for me to talk too much. What matters most is what the emperor thinks in his heart."
In short, Xiao Jingzhi would not say anything.
"Are you so unwilling to discuss government affairs?" The emperor looked helpless.
In the emperor's perception, Xiao Jingzhi had always been a person who had no interest in government affairs and would never interfere in any of his decisions.
And Xiao Jingzhi will only obey his orders and do what he should do.
The emperor couldn't help but ask: "Or are you blaming me for sending the soldiers who followed you to the border?"
"It's strange." Xiao Jingzhi didn't shy away from it.
Hearing Xiao Jingzhi's candid admission, the emperor felt much better, "But you also have to understand that in this position, I am often unable to control myself."
Xiao Jingzhi said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Speaking of which, you are not young anymore. The prince has a princess, so you have to think about your marriage." This is what the emperor has always been most concerned about.
Just when Xiao Jingzhi was about to speak, the emperor took the lead and said: "Don't use the words that you won't marry in this life to excuse me. If my father is still here, he will definitely be more anxious than me."
"The oath must not be forgotten." Xiao Jingzhi said firmly.
The emperor shook his head helplessly, "Okay, okay, you go."
He simply couldn't talk to Xiao Jingzhi, a boring gourd.
"My dear brother, please retire."
After Xiao Jingzhi left, the emperor turned back and asked Eunuch Fu, "Do you think King War's words can be taken seriously?"
Eunuch Fu nodded, his mind spinning rapidly, "The King of War followed the Emperor, and he has always said the same thing. It must be true."
The emperor said nothing, as if he was weighing the matter.
However, if Xiao Jingzhi really never marries in this life, he will feel a lot more at ease.
What the emperor didn't know was that the reason why Xiao Jing took this oath was just to protect one person.
At the same time, Shen Yunshu went to Liu Mansion to visit Duke Liu.
When Liu Gong saw Shen Yunshu, he looked very happy and proud, "Our girl Shu has made a career."
"It's still far behind my grandfather." Shen Yunshu said modestly.
"You have taken a big step." Mr. Liu and Shen Yunshu sat down together, "But, what do you think about letting you enter Taiyuan Hospital?"
The Taiyuan Hospital said that it was not as complicated as the imperial court. The people who could be contacted were either relatives of the emperor or important officials in the imperial court, so it was not as simple as imagined.
While Mr. Liu was happy for Shen Yunshu's current achievements, he was also worried for her.
Shen Yunshu truthfully expressed her thoughts to Mr. Liu, "Yunshu wants to set an example for women in the world who want to go into medicine, but I haven't decided yet about entering Tai Hospital."
Her medical skills are not as pure as her grandfather's, so how can she dare to be like her grandfather.
Entering Tai Hospital also meant that Zeng Shangshu had a handle on her, so she would not make this decision lightly.
"No matter what girl Shu decides, grandpa will support you." Mr. Liu can be himself, which is already good.
"By the way, grandfather, did anything happen between you and Chief Qin?"
Shen Yunshu needs to figure out the cause and effect of this matter so that he can take the right medicine.
Liu Gong's smile froze on his face for a moment, and after a long while, he slowly said: "I met Qin Zhangyuan when I was in business. At that time, he had not yet entered the court as an official."
The two hit it off and became friends. From time to time they would sit together and discuss interesting things in the book. Even though Qin Zhangyuan didn't understand medical skills, he would still listen patiently to Mr. Liu's talk.
Until Qin Zhangyuan became an official and Liu Gong entered the Taiyuan Hospital, the number of times they met became less and less, but every time they met, they would talk until late at night.
However, the change was that when Qin Zhangyuan's grandson fell ill, Liu Gong failed to rush back to the capital within the time agreed with Qin Zhangyuan, and missed the best opportunity for treatment.
"His little grandson became an idiot after that serious illness, so the Qin family received unprecedented discussion in the court, which also made us never sit together again."
Shen Yunshu could hear regret and self-blame in his grandfather's words.
"It's not your fault. The accident was not what everyone expected." Shen Yunshu tried to comfort Liu Gong.
"Did that old guy say something to you?"
Liu Gong thought that it was impossible for Shen Yunshu to ask about this matter for no reason.
"No." Shen Yunshu naturally couldn't tell Mr. Liu the truth. "It was because I became friends with the granddaughter of Master Qin that I heard that you and Master Qin were also friends before."
"Really?" Liu Gong was dubious.
Shen Yunshu confirmed: "Really."
"That old guy is petty-minded, but what happened back then was indeed my problem."
Liu Gong often thought that if he could come back early, he might be able to avoid accidents.
Shen Yunshu didn't want to see his grandfather like this, "Grandpa, do you believe Yunshu?"
"Grandpa has always believed in our girl Shu." Liu Gong looked at Shen Yunshu lovingly.
"As long as grandpa believes in Yun Shu, then stop blaming yourself for this matter, okay?"
Shen Yunshu wanted to help Liu Gong and Qin Zhangyuan open their hearts, so that the tragedy might be avoided.
Liu Gong said helplessly: "It's been so many years..."
If I didn't blame myself, I wouldn't have read it for so long.
Shen Yunshu quickly changed the subject and pretended to be distressed: "Grandpa, Yun Shu needs to tell you something. My parents are planning to find Yun Shu's future husband."
Liu Gong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I don't think anyone can control our girl Shu, but as long as our girl Shu says a word, the threshold of the General's Mansion will be leveled."
Not to mention Shen Yunshu's stunning appearance, the news about Shen Yunshu's superb medical skills has already spread in the capital.
I'm afraid there are quite a few people who want to get married to the General's Mansion.
Shen Yunshu pretended to be unhappy, "Brother and Brother Yanxing are not married, so why are everyone's eyes on me?"
"Don't tell me Yanxing is a good boy. He even visited me after he came back."
When Liu Gong said this, he paid special attention to Shen Yunshu's expression.
"Girl Shu, what do you think of Yanxing?"
