Rebirth of the Imperial Uncle's Medical Concubine

Chapter 212 Leaving the Capital (2)

When Li Junhe heard what Xiao Tianming said and thought about what Eunuch Wang had just said, he immediately understood what Xiao Tianming had been trying to do.

Li Junhe said to Xiao Tianming calmly, "This... this is fine. I will walk slowly and wait for Your Highness. Your Highness, please come as soon as possible, and then we will set off at full speed!"

When Xiao Tianming heard Li Junhe's agreement, he smiled and said to Li Junhe, "Okay, okay! Thank you, old general!"

Li Junhe thought about the repair money again and asked Xiao Tianming, "Third Prince, where is the repair money now?"

When Xiao Tianming heard Li Junhe asking about the repair money, he said to Li Junhe, "The repair money is now... in the Ministry of Revenue. We can go directly to the Ministry of Revenue to withdraw it tomorrow!"

Li Junhe asked in confusion, "Did we withdraw the money for repairs like this from the Ministry of Revenue before? I remember that we should check the amount first and then seal it up? Can we withdraw it directly now?"

When Xiao Tianming heard what Li Junhe said, he immediately began to stammer. Li Junhe saw Xiao Tianming's embarrassment and knew that there must be something fishy going on, otherwise the emperor would not have said that to him.

Li Junhe pretended not to notice and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm not in Kyoto all year round, so I didn't know the procedures have changed now!"

Xiao Tianming smiled at Li Junhe and said, "Yes, yes!"

After Xiao Tianming finished speaking, he took a sip of tea awkwardly. Li Junhe asked him some other questions, such as when to leave tomorrow, etc. Xiao Tianming answered all of them and then got up and left.

Li Junhe escorted the people out of the general's mansion, and then said to Xiao Tianming, "Then I will be waiting for Your Highness tomorrow afternoon!"

Xiao Tianming nodded, smiled and said to Li Junhe, "Thank you for your hard work, old general!"

Li Junhe smiled and said, "For the sake of Qing Kingdom, this is what I should do!"

Xiao Tianming smiled and said to Li Junhe, "Old General, please stay!"

Li Junhe said respectfully, "Farewell, Your Highness!"

Li Junhe watched Xiao Tianming get on the carriage. As the carriage drove away, he said to Uncle Li, "Li Jun, I'm going to the imperial study. You watch over the people and don't let anyone in. Just tell them that I'm busy with things for tomorrow and won't see any guests for now!"

When Uncle Li saw Li Junhe's serious look, he knew something had happened and nodded. Li Junhe took Uncle Li into the mansion. Not long after, Li Junhe left the general's mansion in black clothes.

Li Jun did not alarm anyone and left the general's mansion silently.

When Li Junhe quietly came to the imperial study, Wang Ping was on duty. Wang Ping looked at Li Junhe in surprise. He looked around and said to Li Junhe, "General, what are you doing...?"

Li Junhe was relieved to see Wang Ping and said to him, "Eunuch Wang, is the emperor still here?"

When Wang Ping heard Li Junhe say this, he knew that Li Junhe must have something to do when he ventured into the palace, and he quickly said to Li Junhe, "Here, here! Old General, come in!"

Wang Ping quickly opened the palace gate for Li Junhe and let him in.

The emperor thought it was Wang Ping, and without even raising his head, he said to Wang Ping, "Wang Ping, make me a cup of tea!"

The emperor did not hear Wang Ping's words after he finished speaking. He then looked up and found that it was Li Junhe in black. The emperor looked at Li Junhe in surprise and asked, "Who is this, old general?"

Li Junhe knelt down and saluted before His Majesty, saying, "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive me for my rash entry into the palace. I had to do this for a reason!"

When His Majesty heard what Li Junhe said, he knew that the matter was very important, so he did not blame him. Instead, he waved his hand to let Li Junhe stand up, and said to Li Junhe, "Old General, what is the matter with you coming to see me?"

Li Jun took two steps forward and reported to His Majesty solemnly about Xiao Tianming's visit to his residence. Li Jun said, "I think there may be some changes tomorrow."

The emperor asked in surprise, "Oh! Did the old general notice something?"

Li Junhe said to His Majesty, "I asked the Third Prince about the repair money, but he must have concealed something. He also said that I can go to the Ministry of Revenue to withdraw it tomorrow. I remember that in the early days of His Majesty's personal rule, His Majesty ordered that all funds must be checked the day before and sealed! Only then can they be handed over to the transportation team! But...but...when I asked the Third Prince about this, he hesitated and said he didn't understand. Therefore, combined with the message from His Majesty, I boldly guessed that it was the Third Prince who wanted...he wanted...!"

Li Junhe didn't dare to say the rest. The emperor looked at Li Junhe and said with a smile, "Old General! Old General, you are still the same as before, treating me so sincerely and never caring about me. But I doubt you and even question you. Don't you have the slightest bit of anger?"

Li Junhe was surprised to hear His Majesty's words. When His Majesty asked him if he was angry, Li Junhe felt that everything that happened before was just like that. Li Junhe smiled and said to His Majesty, "Yes, I am angry, but Your Majesty, it would be wrong for you to sit in this position!"

When His Majesty heard what Li Junhe said, he burst into laughter, stood up and walked to Li Junhe, patted Li Junhe on the shoulder and said, "Good! Good! I didn't make a mistake in choosing you. I know you will always stand by me!"

The emperor leaned over and whispered something in Li Junhe's ear. Li Junhe looked at the emperor in disbelief and asked, "Your Majesty, what you said is the truth!"

The emperor nodded helplessly and said, "I also hope that what I said is false, but the facts are here."

Upon hearing this, Li Junhe knelt down and said to His Majesty, "I will definitely live up to your trust tomorrow!"

The emperor personally helped Li Junhe up and said to him, "Good, good, good! I didn't misjudge you! Hahahaha!"

Li Junhe laughed along with His Majesty...

Outside the house, Wang Ping was guarding the palace gate tightly, not letting anyone get close. Hearing the laughter inside, Wang Ping also smiled, thinking that it seemed that the emperor had let go of his obsession!

Wang Ping has been following the emperor all year round, so how could he not know what the emperor is thinking? Sometimes Wang Ping also wants to persuade the emperor, but he feels that if he does so, the emperor will become even more suspicious. Therefore, when the emperor laughed so heartily today, Wang Ping knew that the emperor had let it go!

Li Junhe returned to the general's mansion. Uncle Li had been guarding the door of the study. When Uncle Li saw Li Junhe, he found that Li Junhe was smiling. Uncle Li walked up to Li Junhe and said, "General, I have told the emperor everything. What did the emperor say?"

Li Junhe looked at Uncle Li with a smile and said mysteriously, "Buddha said it cannot be said, it cannot be said!"

After hearing what Li Junhe said, Uncle Li didn't ask any more questions.

Li Junhe retracted his smile and said to Uncle Li, "Did anything happen during the time I was away?"
