Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Granduncle, I want to invite you to come back to Jing City with me. The poison in your body is closely related to the poison in my grandmother’s body. I want to ask my master for help to detoxify the two of you at the same time.” Gu Qingxue said straightforwardly.

“That won’t do.” As soon as Madam Pan spoke, everyone’s gazes swept over in unison.

Madam Pan seemed to hesitate that she had said the wrong thing, but she paused for a moment and immediately revealed a brilliant smile. “Father, your health is not good. The doctor once warned you not to travel too much. It’s a long drive back to Jing City from here, I’m also worried about your health…”

“l know my own body well. Besides, since Qingxue has spoken, she will definitely ensure that I can return to Jing City smoothly.” Old General Qi said calmly.

“But, father, as a great general, how can you leave the border without permission? If His Majesty finds out and gets angry, won’t the entire Qi family be implicated?” Madam Pan continued to speak weakly.

This time, Old General Qi was silent for a moment. He frowned and didn’t answer.

“Old General Qi, you don’t have to worry about this. As the regent, I’ve already sent a messenger pigeon to inform His Majesty that Old General Qi is unwell and needs to return to Jing City to recuperate. His Majesty has always been tolerant and will definitely allow Old General Qi to return to Jing City.” Rong Zhan spoke at the right time.

Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Rong Zhan curiously.

She and this man had been together for the past few days, and they had been together day and night. She had not seen him send any letters to the Emperor.

Sure enough, Rong Zhan’s gaze also swept over her, and he had an expression that said nothing.

Gu Qingxue immediately understood what Rong Zhan meant. She lowered her head to hide the light that flashed past her eyes.

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness.” Old General Qi lowered his eyes and said, “Your family can rest assured now.”

Madam Pan almost crushed the bowl of medicine in her hand. She smiled gently and said, “Yes, this way, I can be at ease.”

“Then prepare my luggage. Qingxue, when do you think is a good time to leave?” Old General Qi looked at Gu Qingxue and put on a smile.

“Tomorrow morning.” Gu Qingxue said.

“Are you in such a hurry? Qingxue, you must be tired from the long journey. You should rest more. Moreover, how can father’s body withstand a long journey?” As Madam Pan spoke, her expression was a little nervous.

“What about my body? My body is very good.” When Old General Qi heard this, he glared in dissatisfaction.

“Eldest Madam, don’t worry. I will take care of Granduncle’s health on the way. Granduncle, we won’t be in a hurry when we return. I’ll help you recuperate on the way. When we reach Jing City, your physique will be much stronger and you can withstand further treatment.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she had already reached out to take Old General Qi’s pulse.

Madam Pan’s concerns were not completely unreasonable. Old General Qi’s health was indeed terrible. If she had not followed him all the way, he would not have been fit to travel.

However, looking at Madam Pan’s hesitant expression, it was hard to say whether she was worried about Old General Qi or something else..
