Chapter 155 The Iron-blooded Emperor's Palm
Ji Junze knew the news of the new king of Fengguo's accession to the throne no later than Qiu Ji.
But he still sat in the room, looking at the bamboo slips calmly, looking indifferent.
Shi Li lay quietly on his knees, yawning delicately from time to time and rubbing her head with one hand.
Before she could close her mouth, she raised her watery eyes to look at Ji Junze and subconsciously called out to him.
"Meow--"
Ji Junze didn't look at her, his eyes were focused on the bamboo slips, with only a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
Inside the house, everything is peaceful and quiet.
Until footsteps were heard outside the door and Qiu Ji pushed the door open and walked in.
Shi Li looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qiu Ji wearing a bright yellow skirt, which made her look even more beautiful. Her smile was like that of a fairy, captivating and charming.
"Little Aze, we will probably be leaving soon." Qiu Ji walked up to Ji Junze and said with a smile.
After saying that, he wanted to raise his hand and touch Shi Li.
"Okay." Ji Junze happened to stand up holding the cat and avoided her touch.
Qiu Ji's hand fell into nothingness, she shook her head and smiled, and was about to continue speaking when Qin Mu's voice came from outside.
"Madam, Master, someone from Feng Country is here to take you back."
I have to say that the people from Fengguo arrived really quickly.
At least at this point, it can be seen that Ji Yu really cares about Qiu Ji and her son.
Qiu Ji looked towards the door, smiled and blinked, and said lightly, "You came so quickly, let's go."
After that, she walked out first.
Ji Junze lagged behind by a step, put Shi Li back on the pillow first, and then followed silently.
Shi Li: ???
I'm not worthy of seeing people?
In the courtyard, Qin Mu and several strangers were standing.
Judging from their clothes, they should be envoys from Feng State.
The leading man bowed respectfully to Qiu Ji and Ji Junze with a flattering smile on his face.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince misses the Madam and the Young Master very much, and he must be happy to see that the two are well."
"How is your highness? Have you lost weight these days?"
When Qiu Ji went out, the smile on her face had disappeared, replaced by a mixture of sadness and joy.
Like a wife who misses and worries about her husband, she asked the messenger in a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, ma'am. His Highness is doing well. He just misses you often and can't sleep at night." The messenger was also a talkative person.
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Ji Junze.
He secretly guessed that although Qiu Ji held a considerable position in Prince Yu's heart, what Prince Yu was more concerned about was definitely the son she gave birth to.
The envoy boasted that he had met many distinguished persons, but when he looked at Ji Junze, he was still stunned.
His whole demeanor is not inferior to that of a monarch.
At the same time, some people from the Qin family were standing far away and watching the fun.
The little fat boy Qin Chaoheng was also among them, his mouth opened in surprise.
After he reacted, an expression of pride appeared on his face.
It turned out to be Toyokuni Takako, he really is worthy of being his elder brother.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen covered her mouth with a handkerchief, tears welling up in her eyes.
She is Qin Mu's niece, nicknamed Ling'er. Her parents died when she was young, and she was raised by Qin Mu in the Qin Mansion. Qin Mu has no daughter, so everyone in the mansion treats her as a real lady.
"Madam, His Royal Highness is really worried about us. When can we set off to return?"
After the initial greetings, the messenger spoke tentatively.
He said this because, on the one hand, Ji Yu was indeed anxious to see Qiu Ji and her son, but on the other hand, this was Su Country after all, and the longer they stayed here, the more trouble they would have.
"Of course the sooner the better. I also want to see my husband... the prince as soon as possible!" Qiu Ji blurted out, but quickly corrected herself.
The two parties then decided to set off tomorrow, staying only for one final day at Qin's mansion.
Then, Qiu Ji and Ji Junze went back to clean up.
The messenger brought Ji Yu's instructions to greet Qin Mu and gave him some gold and silver as a token of gratitude.
Ji Junze returned to the room, took out a few scrolls of bamboo slips he had written from the cabinet and put them away. Then he walked to the pillow and put away the small blanket that Shi Li had always used as a cat bed.
These were all his luggage.
Shi Li had just fallen asleep. She was a little dazed watching his movements, and forgot that she was a cat now. She opened her mouth to ask him what was wrong.
"Meow--"
The cat's meow reminded Shi Li, and she helplessly raised her paws to cover her face.
"Change another place."
Ji Junze touched her head skillfully as if he understood cat language.
Over the next half day, there was an endless stream of Qin family members coming to see Ji Junze off, until the evening.
Everything that was supposed to happen had happened, and the room finally became quiet.
When there were outsiders around, Shi Li would consciously stay in bed.
No one could see her because of the bed curtain.
Now that there were finally no outsiders around, Shi Li, who had been lying on the pillow, stood up and prepared to jump to the ground with an elegant cat step.
Suddenly there was another knock on the door.
