General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

Chapter 607 Late Night Urgent Call
Li Rong met her bright, blinking eyes, and eagerly placed his large hand on her fluffy head, gently rubbing it. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "It's alright, Anuan, you don't need to get your hands dirty."

Li Rong placed her fair, still slightly scented hand in his and held it tightly: "You can do whatever you want, however you want. It doesn't matter if the Emperor lives or dies. Just follow your heart, A-Nuan."

Jiang Nuanzhi stared blankly at Li Rong's face, which was resolute yet appeared exceptionally alluring at this moment.

“Arong.”

"You don't need to do anything for me. Just wait a little longer. Before long, I will make sure that Ah Nuan is no longer at the mercy of others."

Jiang Nuanzhi was momentarily stunned, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at so intently by Li Rong's eyes. She coughed lightly and said, "What are you thinking? I mean, we can talk to the Emperor. I am a physician, and the Emperor is my patient. I would never actually tamper with the treatment of patients; that is not in my principles. Even if I were to kill someone, I would first cure them before doing so."

After speaking, noticing that Li Rong was still staring straight at him, Jiang Nuanzhi took a deep breath and waved her hand in front of him: "Arong, what are you thinking about?"

Li Rong's eyes fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes, and for a moment he felt as if his soul had been sucked away by those eyes.

Li Rong had seen countless people in the world, but a woman like A Nuan was truly a first for him.

She is not enslaved by form, nor bound by rules. She is not confined to one corner, nor trapped by her own mind.

At the same time, she loved money, wine, women, and food. Love, hate, greed, anger, laughter, and scolding were all expressed in such a real and passionate way that she was completely out of step with the rest of the world.

So much so that Li Rong often thought that A Nuan seemed to be from a completely different place than him.

"Li Rong? I'm talking to you."

"Hmm?" When Li Rong came back to his senses, Jiang Nuanzhi in front of him had already frowned.

"What did Ah Nuan say?"

"I said, what do you mean by saying you don't want me to be controlled by others?"

Jiang Nuanzhi looked up at him and asked.

Li Rong's dark eyes flickered, and he laughed: "It means that A Nuan can walk sideways in Kyoto from now on."

Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow, her eyes brightening, but then she laughed: "I'll just walk sideways then. Anyway, I don't plan to stay in Kyoto for long. I can just walk sideways in the Great Wilderness."

Li Rong chuckled in a daze: "Alright, then let's roam freely in the Great Wilderness."

"I also need to prepare to earn a lot of money. Ideally, I should be able to spend it all in several lifetimes, so I can relax and do whatever I want."

"it is good."

Li Rong's voice was soft. Jiang Nuanzhi turned her head to look at him. This guy was really perfunctory. He should at least show some respect.

As the two were talking, they vaguely heard a somewhat familiar crying voice coming from afar.

Jiang Nuanzhi and Li Rong subconsciously looked into the distance, but the sound only lasted for a short while before it disappeared.

"Linchun, what happened?"

Lin Chun, as always, reacted quickly and quietly went to check on things early on, and has now returned.

Upon arriving, he said with a strange expression, "Master, it's Zhao Yuniang and her family. Judging from their appearance, it seems they were kicked out of the palace."

Jiang Nuanzhi asked in surprise, "Zhao Niuniu was found out to be a fake so quickly? The Emperor just kicked her out like that?"

Lin Chun lowered his voice and said, "Judging from a distance, the person can no longer walk; they must have been severely tortured."

Li Rong subconsciously looked at Jiang Nuanzhi, only to see that A Nuanzhi's brows were tightly furrowed. Li Rong said, "The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet is in a few days. The Emperor is still seriously ill, so it is not appropriate to kill anyone at this time. Even death row inmates are not executed at this time. Zhao Yuniang brought this upon herself, and she was lucky not to lose her life. A Nuanzhi, you don't need to pay attention to such people."

Jiang Nuanzhi nodded, then looked at Li Rong: "I'm just curious, how did the Emperor know that Zhao Niuniu wasn't his child?" "Isn't a blood test enough to prove it?" Li Rong looked at Jiang Nuanzhi in confusion.

Jiang Nuanzhi laughed: "This is a long story. Let's go back first, the child must be getting impatient."

These past two nights, Baozhu has been staying up all night, waiting for her to come back. She hasn't been sleeping well at night either. Jiang Nuanzhi thought of the children and suddenly felt a strong urge to go home.

It just so happens that it's not convenient to talk in the palace, and I still have a lot of things to give to Li Rong.

The two went out while they were talking.

From afar, Chi Heng had already ordered the carriage to wait. Looking into the distance, one could see that Princess Chi Heng, Xin Bo, Wei Ke, Qin Lin, General Wan, and many others were all there, including a former subordinate of Li Rong whom Jiang Nuanzhi recognized but couldn't quite place. Upon seeing Li Rong and his companion, their eyes were clearly reddened.

"General!"

I don't know who shouted that in a trembling voice.

"Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General!"

There weren't many people around, but in the dead of night, those words seemed exceptionally imposing.

Clearly, everyone had received the news well in advance.

Everyone clearly wanted to say something more, but Li Rong waved his hand to stop them: "It's late and the dew is heavy, let's go back together and talk in detail later."

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison, clearly still caught up in the excitement of hearing the news.

With a hoarse voice and eyes that were frighteningly bright, Chi Heng still addressed everyone, "Yes, it's not a good time to talk now. Yunshang Pavilion has prepared a banquet, let's go eat!"

Amidst the cheers and applause, Li Rong couldn't help but momentarily lose himself in thought.

Then, with a knowing smile, he pulled Jiang Nuan onto the carriage.

"The imperial decree hasn't been issued yet, isn't it inappropriate for us to hold a banquet like this?"

Once seated in the carriage, Jiang Nuanzhi asked Li Rong the question.

Li Rong's eyes darkened: "It's alright. I won't be staying in the capital for long. If we don't hold the banquet now, we won't have another chance tomorrow. His Majesty is busy right now and doesn't have time to deal with such trivial matters. Don't worry, Anuan."

Jiang Nuanzhi nodded and said, "Then let's bring the children? They haven't had a banquet in Kyoto yet."

“Okay.” Li Rong’s voice remained gentle.

"Wait, Dr. Jiang, please wait!"

As the two were talking, a loud shout broke the silence.

Jiang Nuanzhi frowned, opened the car window and looked out. She saw a eunuch dressed as a head eunuch running out of the capital and chasing after her, panting.

"Physician Jiang! Wait a moment! The Emperor urgently summons you to the Qianqing Palace!"

As soon as he said that, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed a piece of pine nut candy and popped it into her mouth. Then she jumped off the carriage and said, "Arong, you all go ahead and have the banquet. You don't need to wait for me. Just leave one carriage here. I'll go back by myself later."

Li Rong, however, carried two packets of food in his arms. After getting off the carriage, he took Jiang Nuanzhi's hand and turned back to say, "Aheng, you take everyone to the banquet. I'll go to the palace with Anuanzhi. There's no need to wait for us."
