Chapter 695 Departure
Late at night, a group of people suddenly visited Su Ji's house. When Su Ji saw them, he immediately walked forward.
"This is a humble post, Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite. How is Jiang Qiuchi?"
Su Ji said: "Thanks to your majesty for inviting Taoist Xuan Heng from Qingyun Mountain that day, Jiang Qiuchi is now out of danger after a few months of rest."
"Well, I'll go see him."
"Your Majesty, please!"
Su Ji took Jiang Ci to the back house, which was the house where Su Ji lived alone. He used to live in the old house with his grandfather. After Jiang Qiuchi was seriously injured, Su Ji moved here to take care of him.
On the day of the mutiny, Jiang Qiuchi was assassinated. Thanks to the desperate protection of several secret guards around him, he did not die on the spot. However, when Su Ji arrived, he was seriously injured and unconscious. Afterwards, Jiang Ci asked Xuan Heng to save his life.
Su Ji brought Jiang Ci to the room where Jiang Qiuchi was staying to recuperate. When Jiang Qiuchi saw Jiang Ci coming, he hurriedly got out of bed and prepared to salute.
Jiang Ci took a step forward and supported him, saying in a deep voice: "You are injured, so there is no need to be polite."
"I am fine now. How could Your Majesty bother to condescend to visit me in person?"
"You have suffered a lot in the capital in the past two years. I remember it all. When you recover from your illness, I will arrange a position for you in the court. Are you willing to serve as an official in the court?"
Jiang Qiuchi was silent for a moment, then slowly knelt in front of Jiang Ci.
"Your Majesty, I do not wish to serve as an official in the court."
Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? But do you have other ideas?"
"I used to be a beggar on the street. Fortunately, the old sect master took a fancy to me and brought me back to Xuanzong Sect. Over the years, I often recall some childhood memories. I vaguely remember that my hometown seemed to be in a place called Yongle Village, so I would like to take this opportunity to go out and walk around. Maybe I can find my parents and relatives."
Jiang Ci nodded: "Since you have made your decision, I will not try to keep you here. You deserve a reward for your service in protecting the master. I will give you a mansion in Bianjing City and a Qilin Jade."
Jiang Qiuchi showed shock in his eyes. The Qilin Jade was a jade token that symbolized the royal authority. As long as one encountered any difficulties in the Sui Dynasty, he could take this token to the local government to seek help. When the officials saw the Qilin Jade, they would treat it as if they saw His Majesty in person and would certainly help him with great respect.
Moreover, this jade plaque can be passed down to benefit future generations.
"Your Majesty, I am your servant. It is my duty to serve you. Your Majesty does not need to reward me."
"Please accept my reward. This is the reward you deserve."
Jiang Qiuchi immediately kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Ying Si handed a house deed and a Qilin jade pendant to Jiang Qiuchi. A large house with four courtyards in the best location in the capital was worth more than ten thousand taels, not to mention that this Qilin jade was a treasure second only to the Danshu Tiequan. Even he was a little envious.
Jiang Ci stood up and left after a short while, and Su Ji personally saw him out.
"Your Majesty, I would like to resign."
Jiang Ci paused slightly and glanced at Su Ji with his cold phoenix eyes.
"Lord Su is in his prime, and at such a young age he has already become the commander of the Royal Guards. He is the envy of many people in the capital. Why do you suddenly want to resign? Does Mr. Su agree?"
Su Ji said: "I have not mentioned this matter to my family yet. This is my private matter. I believe the elders in my family will not blame me too much."
Jiang Ci put his hands behind his back, with a curious look on his handsome face.
"Give me a reason to resign."
Su Ji hesitated: "I just... just feel a little tired, I want to go out for a walk to relax."
Jiang Ci glanced at Jiang Qiuchi's room and said, "Don't mention resignation anymore. I won't agree. Since you want to relax, I will give you two years to rest. You can return to Beijing to report on your work after two years."
Su Ji's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed and said, "I obey your orders!"
-
Jiang Ci returned to the palace. The maid on duty saw His Majesty returning and immediately came forward to serve him.
"No one is needed to guard here, all of you can leave."
"promise!"
There are many people in the palace, and Yan Shu has a space on him. If others know about it, it will be very dangerous for her, so Jiang Ci never lets palace servants keep watch at night. There are shadow guards on duty around the bedroom.
There was only one lamp on in the bedroom, and the light in the room was a little dim. After Jiang Ci closed the door, he went to the side hall to take a bath.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ci lay beside Yan Shu. He stretched out his hand to pull the sleeping person back into his arms. In the flickering candlelight, his hand gently stroked her delicate white cheek, tracing her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.
He felt very sad to think that they would not see each other for several months. If the environment in the military camp was not so harsh, he really wanted to take her with him.
Yan Shu always felt a little itchy on her face in her sleep. She buried her little face in Jiang Ci's arms and rubbed it for a few times. She put her hand around Jiang Ci's waist and spoke in a soft nasal voice.
"You're back."
"Well, I woke you up."
Yan Shu slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils staring at him.
"I've been waiting for you to come back, but I was too sleepy just now."
Jiang Ci leaned over to kiss her forehead: "No need to wait if it's too late in the future."
Yan Shu didn't say anything. The hand on his waist slowly moved across his chest and hooked around his neck.
"You're leaving for battle tomorrow, and I want to see more of you."
Jiang Ci's eyes gradually became deeper, and his warm big hands gently stroked her back. She was wearing that white suspender nightgown today, and her exquisite figure was fatally tempting under the dim candlelight.
His voice became a little hoarse, and he exhaled a breath of hot air, hugged her soft body tighter, and his body gradually became hot.
Yan Shu leaned over to his neck and bit it gently, his tongue tip brushing lightly across his Adam's apple. Jiang Ci swallowed subconsciously and increased the strength of the hand stroking her waist.
"Jiaojiao, don't tease me."
His voice trembled slightly, and he tried his best to be patient.
Originally he came back late and didn't want to disturb her rest, but today this little fox seemed to be a lot more unbridled and even dared to seduce him.
Yan Shu curled her lips and chuckled, her soft lips slowly moved up along his smooth jaw, she opened her mouth and gently bit his earlobe, and even blew a breath into his ear mischievously. How could a man who had experienced sex resist her temptation? Jiang Ci held down her restless hand.
"You won't be able to sleep tonight if you continue making trouble."
"Then... don't sleep!"
