An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Ji Yue's eyes froze.

Wei Lian raised his eyes and said again: "My medical skills can help."

He said calmly, "I will go too."

Silence hovered quietly between the two, and a dignified atmosphere lingered in the room.

After a long time, Ji Yue said, "...OK."

He didn't say something like "you are not allowed to go alone".For every extra day of delay, many more people would die in Jiangzhou, and they had no time to hesitate.

Wei Lian nodded: "I'll give you an order, and I'll set off right away."

The first batch of rescue teams to Jiangzhou set off in the afternoon, and it was still too late for him to go after him on horseback.

Ji Yue lowered his eyes, moved his fingers, and handed the imperial edict under the folder to Wei Lian.

It says to appoint Gongzi Lian as the imperial envoy to help solve the epidemic, and everyone in the Imperial Hospital obeys his order.The status is superior to another imperial envoy who handles this matter. If there is a disagreement between the two parties in their decision-making, they will all follow the orders of Young Master Lian.

It can be said that Wei Lian has the full authority to handle this task.

The imperial edict has already been stamped with a jade seal, and the ink has dried up. Obviously, it has been left to dry here for an unknown amount of time.

Ji Yue had already written the edict.

Before he broke into the Imperial Study Room.

Wei Lian took a look, smiled, turned and left.

"Wei Lian." Ji Yue called him to stop.

Wei Lian stopped and lowered his eyes: "Yes."

After a moment of silence behind him, Ji Yue said, "Let's stay for another night."

"The team just left the city today, and they will rest and reorganize at the post station outside the city in the evening. Tomorrow, we will catch up quickly... and we can meet up in time."

Wei Lian was light and fast, and he was able to catch up with the large army, not a day away.

But between them, it was a bad day.

Wei Lian said softly, "Okay."

Then push the door out.

That night, Ji Yue rested in Zhongling Palace.

They didn't do anything but simply share the same bed and sleep peacefully through the night.

The next day, Ji Yue woke up, Xi Wei broke white, and the sky was dawning.

Wei Lian hadn't woken up yet, he folded his hands and slept very well.Ji Yue gazed at the young man's sleeping face for a while, and then placed a gentle kiss on Wei Lian's forehead.

Then she changed her clothes in silence and went up quietly.

When Wei Lian woke up, there was already the sound of birdsong outside, and the spring was beautiful.

The luggage was packed yesterday, and we can leave this afternoon.

Now that he can still steal half a day's leisure from Fusheng, when he arrives in Jiangzhou, he should fight a tough battle non-stop.

For half a day, I don't know what to do.

Wei Lian thought for a while, then took out a bright red dress from the box, took out a needle and thread and sewed the final pattern.

He once promised Ji Yue that he would make him two clothes, a pair of shoes, and a purse.

Everything else is done, and this is the only thing left, and there is still a finishing touch.

Black is the symbol of the king, Ji Yue can always wear the black robe very dignifiedly, with his lips pursed and serious, sitting high on the throne.It was as if he was born to wear the clothes and hold the position.

What Wei Lian remembers the most is the night of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, when the young man in red rolled his eyes and smiled, pulling him into the crowd.

The flaming red clothes and fiery trees and silver flowers are so gorgeous that they tantalize people's hearts, that is the real integration.

After receiving the last needle, Wei Lian heard a commotion outside.

He raised his head slightly, and saw Changshou running in hastily.

Wei Lian asked, "What's the matter? It's noisy."

Changshou said with a bitter face: "Young master, go out and have a look. A group of ministers came outside for some reason, kneeling directly at the door, please go out."

Wei Lian: "..."

He didn't think he had the face to make Qin's brawny ministers kneel down respectfully to him.

Probably something to ask for.

Wei Lian put away his clothes, got up and went out.

Kneeling some young officials outside, seeing Wei Lian coming out, the leader immediately said: "My lord! Please go and persuade Your Majesty!"

"Now His Majesty is only willing to listen to you!"

Wei Lian frowned: "What happened?"

A articulate speaker explained the matter clearly in a few words.

During the early court today, Ji Yue informed the officials in the court hall that Wei Lian was appointed as an imperial envoy to be in charge of the plague in Qingping County.

As soon as this remark came out, half of them opposed it.

Some said that the harem should not be involved in politics, some said that the young master Lian is not of my race, so his heart must be different, and some said that he had no experience and no medical skills, and it would be pure chaos if he went there.

Most of the opponents were civil officials, but the generals were silent.

That day at Young Master Lian's birthday banquet, after the assassin rushed out of the theater troupe, all of them saw with their own eyes that Young Master Lian beheaded the assassin.

He has meritorious service in rescuing the driver, and his martial arts are good.Since then, no one dared to underestimate it.

"Don't understand medical skills?" Ji Yue said indifferently, "That day when Gu was assassinated in the paddock, wasn't it Wei Lang who saved Gu?"

"..." That's true.

"That's not enough to fight the plague. It's just superficial knowledge. How can such a big matter be left to the young master." A stubborn veteran said, "This is purely playing with human lives!"

Ji Yue was noncommittal, and dropped a thunderbolt on the ground.

"Not only is he going." Ji Yue said calmly, "Gu also wants to go together."

At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

They all knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, think twice!"

The old minister who was still stubbornly not allowing Wei Lian to go immediately changed his words in horror: "Young Master Lian go, just go...Your Majesty, you must not put yourself in danger! You are the king of Daqin, if you have troubles, what will happen to this country and society? good?"

Everyone agreed: "Your Majesty, please take it back."

Ji Yue walked away with a flick of his sleeves: "I have decided my loneliness, I will retreat."

Ji Yue seemed really determined to go to Jiangzhou in person, scaring all the ministers out of their wits.Throughout the ages, kings have always sat firmly behind and issued orders. How could they have personally taken risks?That's the plague!

Your majesty's personal expedition is to boost morale and make the enemy frightened.You can go to the epidemic area in person, the plague does not recognize people, and will not run away after seeing His Majesty.Your Majesty doesn't know how to do medicine, and it won't work if you go there.If the plague is caught, not only Jiangzhou will be in chaos, but the entire Qin country will also be ruined.

These actions fell into the eyes of the ministers, and there were three bright words - giving away the head.

Your Majesty has always been a wise king, how could he take such a stupid step, he was really fascinated by the young master, would it be impossible to live and die with others?

That's not good, stop whatever you say.

So the ministers failed to persuade Ji Yue to give up this idea, and then formed a group to kneel in front of the imperial study, vowing to make Ji Yue take back his life.

However, what Ji Yue made up his mind to, could not be changed by the ministers kneeling down.

Some of the young officials' brains were active, and they could see that His Majesty cared a lot about Young Master Lian.If there is anyone in this world who can persuade His Majesty, it is only Young Master Lian.

After listening to the official's heartfelt narration, Wei Lian: "..."

"I'm going to the Royal Study Room."

The door of the Imperial Study Room was rarely opened.

Several rows of ministers kneeled neatly on the floor tiles in front of the steps, protesting Ji Yue's decision with actions.There were also several ministers kneeling in the room, all wearing first-grade court clothes.

They are not trying to rebel.On the contrary, some of them were promoted by Ji Yue, and some were loyal to the court.Because of this, they must not just watch His Majesty jump into the tiger's den.

Wei Lian came to the imperial study, glanced at the minister kneeling outside, walked up the steps and entered the room.

Ji Yue didn't raise his head: "It's useless to come a few more, even if you invite the former king out of the royal tomb, I won't listen."

Wei Lian said, "...Your Majesty."

Ji Yue shook his hand and raised his head.

The two looked at each other briefly, and Ji Yue lowered his head again, as if to avoid his gaze.

Wei Lian said slowly: "Your Majesty, why bother?"

"The plague in Jiangzhou caused the people to flee." Ji Yue clenched the cinnabar pen tightly in his hand, "I'm alone in Yongping, how can I stay?"

"The king has the world in his heart, sits in Yongping, and rules all directions." Wei Lian walked not far from him, "Qin is more than just a Jiangzhou. All living beings, each perform their duties. You are not a doctor, and it will not help if you go. You are the king, and you protect the entire Qin Kingdom. Yongping needs a backbone to issue orders. This is your duty. If you are safe, the world can feel at ease. If you are ill, it is the loopholes that people with a heart take advantage of. .Your Majesty has a body of gold, and I hope you will take care of yourself."

Just that.

Many ministers below secretly echoed.

They said these words eight hundred times, but His Majesty just didn't listen.Pissed off personally.

Ji Yue hesitated: "Lonely..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a knee falling to the ground.

Ji Yue was startled and looked sideways.The young man knelt down, put his hands flat on his forehead, lowered his eyes and said: "Please take it back, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he bowed down.

It was very similar to the scene when I first saw it. The young man knelt in the snow, bowed upright, and lost his life when he raised his eyes.

Ji Yue's heart trembled, he got up in a hurry, walked to Wei Lian in two or three steps, leaned over and stretched out his hand to pull him: "Get up."

Wei Lian straightened up, and looked at him tenderly, yet with firmness that could not be rejected.

One of them knelt on the ground, the other half squatted in front of them, and they were silent for a moment.

Ji Yue said in a low voice: "Why do you even force me..."

Gu did not say that you are not allowed to go.

Gu just wants to go with you.

Wei Lian's eyes struggled for a moment, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, if you are safe, I will feel at ease."

It has nothing to do with the people of the world.

I just want you to be safe.

Ji Yue was startled, then nodded lightly: "Gu knows."

He slowly got up, facing the ministers, word by word: "Gu... take it back to life."

You have no jokes, but I take back my life because of you.

The ministers excitedly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

When they got up, they looked at Wei Lian with admiration and excitement.

As expected of Mr. Lian, he has the ability!

Originally, Wei Lian earned face for the Qin State once, and rescued him twice, which has eliminated a lot of hostility from everyone.Now, he persuaded Ji Yue to give up the trip to Jiangzhou in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Everyone couldn't help but feel that Young Master Lian was really sensible and righteous. He was different from the coquettish male favorite in his imagination.

Even the matter of Wei Lian serving as imperial envoy was not so much in conflict.

As long as His Majesty doesn't go in person, it doesn't matter if you let the young master take it away!

A farce ended here, and the ministers solved a serious problem in their hearts, and happily went back to the house, only staying in the imperial study, and the two looked at each other.

Ji Yue was helpless: "Why do you have to work so hard?"

Really knelt down, scared him to death.

Wei Lian smiled: "Otherwise I'm sorry for your trouble."

Ji Yue never discussed this play with him, but Wei Lian understood it as soon as he heard it.

Ji Yue is such a smart person, how could Ji Yue not understand the truths he said.

It's just that if Ji Yue didn't explain anything, and directly appointed Wei Lian as the imperial envoy, the officials would definitely not be satisfied with Wei Lian, and even feel resentful.

How could Ji Yue endure being questioned and slandered when his beloved was fighting for his life.

Now it was different, when Ji Yue made such a farce, the officials not only had no objection to Wei Lian's appointment as an imperial envoy, but were also very grateful to him for successfully persuading Ji Yue.Wei Lian's performance in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty today has gained enough favor and increased his prestige.

It's a deadpan bargain.

If people can't take one thing, bring up another one that makes them even more unacceptable.After weighing the two, they felt that the previous one was not so unacceptable.

"It's so real." Wei Lian teased him, "I believe it."

Ji Yue laughed: "It's not acting."

Gu Shi really wants to go with you.

Thinking like crazy.

Wei Lian paused and said, "I should go."

The smile on the corners of Ji Yue's lips faded a bit: "Yes."

Wei Lian said again: "I've made the clothes for you, and they're in the closet next to the bed, remember to put them on."

"Ah."

Wei Lian turned around, walked to the door, and suddenly turned around again.

He said, "Ji Yue, just kiss me again."
