Heaven's Beloved took the adoption manual of the sick apprentice

Chapter 23 Return Date
Winter passes and spring comes, the sun rises and the moon sets.

In another three years, plum blossoms were sent by post, fish passed on rulers, and swallows returned.

Jiang Yu leaned on the bamboo chair under the peach tree.

The tree is lush and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

She held the letter from Song Heqing in her hand. It was signed on the second day of March, and it was already March [-]th.

The letter said that he had reached the golden core stage, which is a realm that many people can't reach in their entire lives.

This world is not fair, luck, talent, status, power...

In the past three years, Song Heqing wrote many letters to Jiang Yu. Everywhere he went, he would tell her some interesting things, but never mentioned the hardships he encountered.

Jiang Yu knew that the journey would not be easy. What Song Heqing didn't know was that Yinchuan often sent letters to her and would secretly tell them about the dangers they encountered on the road.

However, it doesn't matter anymore. Song Heqing is already on his way back, heading north from Qingzhou to Youzhou, all the way to the west, south through Yangzhou, Bingzhou, and north to Yizhou to Jidu, Qingzhou.

Jidu... is not a good place.

Jiang Yu fell twice in this place.

The first time was when she was injured in grabbing Nine Color Flowers in Jidu and was picked up by the Immortal Cultivation Family. Taking advantage of her amnesia, she tricked her into saying that she was also a member of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Yu was injured, and only the name Jiang Yu remained in his mind. Although he had doubts, under the meticulous care of the Jiang family, he believed it and gave the Nine-Colored Flower to them.

The second time was, after she failed to cross the tribulation, she left Qingyun, and was intercepted and killed by Jiang Maywei and Jiang's family in Jidu, and almost died.

Judging from the date of sending the letter, if Song Heqing did not encounter any trouble on the way, he should have arrived in Jidu by now.

Secretly lighting incense for the little apprentice and praying for his smooth return.

After Jidu is over, it’s time for the banquet. The last step...

"Si Ming, someone from the palace has come to deliver a message again." Dong Lin hurried over.

Jiang Yu put the letter away and put it back into the envelope, put it into her sleeve, and lay lightly on the rocking chair. The peach blossoms fell on her blue and white clothes, adding a bit of color.

"What's the hurry?" Jiang Yu closed his eyes, and the breeze blew softly and slowly over his face.

"I heard that I came to see you for something urgent in the palace." Dong Lin calmed down a bit when he saw that Jiang Yu didn't care at all.

This month, people have come to the palace several times to look for Siming, and each time they are in a hurry. Every time Siming goes, he comes back very tired.

Not only that, the Imperial City Banquet has been completely closed these days. No one knows what is going on outside. No one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to gather to talk.

Jiang Yu rubbed his eyebrows, showing slight fatigue on his face.

"I understand, you go down first." Jiang Yu waved his hand and asked Dong Lin to go down first.

Donglin nodded and retreated. On the way back, he passed by a pond with soft green water.

Golden, red and white fish were playing in the water. Donglin sat by the pond, looking at the carefree fish, with a long-lost smile on his face.

The pool water reflected her face, and Dong Lin suddenly discovered that there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

It came to mind again that yesterday my mother-in-law found me at home and said it was time to go home and marry a husband.

She is already twenty-four years old and should really start a family.

The servants recruited by Siming Mansion all signed a contract and set a fixed time. Donglin came when he was ten years old, and it has been 14 years now.

When she came, Siming was already what he is now, and he still looks like he is twenty years old and in his prime.

Si Ming probably won't grow old.

Many people secretly inquired about Siming's marriage preferences, but they all ignored them.

Jiang Yu left Siming Mansion after Dong Lin left. In the blink of an eye, she was standing at the palace gate.

With his identity, he entered the palace unimpeded. As soon as he reached the imperial garden, he heard the laughter of a child.

"Aunt Xun, look, does my kite fly high?" The child's clear and melodious laughter echoed in the imperial garden.

Jiang Yu stood at the entrance, looking at the chubby little baby, stepping on its short legs, breaking free from the shackles of adults, and running happily pulling the kite string, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Ayu, you're here."

Jiang Yu quickly supported the child who was running towards her, and picked up the child. The child hugged Jiang Yu's neck, rubbed her face affectionately, and said softly: "Ayu, I miss you."

"I miss you too. I haven't seen you in the past few days. Did you listen to your aunt?" Jiang Yu held Zhong Liyu steady and gently scratched her nose.

"Be obedient, Yuyu is the most obedient."

Aunt Xun came over and smiled kindly at Jiang Yu, "Your Highness, please come down and play with me. Lord Si Ming has other important things to do."

Zhong Liyu hugged Jiang Yu's neck and turned around, looked at Jiang Yu dissatisfied, pouted her mouth, and said dissatisfied: "A Yu doesn't play with me every time, you are so annoying."

"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense." Aunt Xun said anxiously with a look of fear on her face.

Jiang Yu quickly comforted Xiaoyu. The child was suddenly scolded and burst into tears.

"It's nothing, there's no one else here, but Your Highness can't say that next time. She is your queen mother, and you have to be considerate of her working on state affairs."

Zhong Liyu hugged Jiang Yu and said softly: "Ayu, please let me down. I will be obedient and study hard."

Jiang Yu stood at the exit and waved to Zhong Liyu.

Walking to the high steps of the royal study room, Jiang Yu saw the kite flying not far away. Jiang Yu chuckled. The child was so carefree.

But she did not have this young and carefree period. As soon as she could remember, she struggled to survive in the lonely forest.

"Lord Si Ming? His Majesty is already waiting for you inside." The female officer beside him reminded softly.

As soon as Jiang Yu entered the door, he saw Zhong Liqing holding the memorial in his hand, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Time makes people grow old, but it has only been six years, and this once high-spirited woman has already seen gray hair on her temples.

"Your Majesty, why are you calling me so urgently?"

"Jiang Yu, didn't you say last time that all the monsters outside the city have been eliminated?" Zhong Liqing dropped the memorial and scattered it in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu lowered his head and looked at the words on the memorial. It turned out to be a memorial written by Meng Zhi, the chief minister. Another monster appeared at the junction of Jidu and Yandu.

Not only that, riots began to occur in Youzhou again, and there were already uprisings in thirteen of the fifteen cities.

Two consecutive years of drought and three years of cold waves have made Youzhou increasingly turbulent.

"What does Your Majesty want me to do?" Jiang Yu picked up the memorial on the ground and put it on the desk.

Should we go north to Youzhou or south to Jidu?Jiang Yu cannot be divided into two for one person.

"You go to the junction of Jidu and Yandu to deal with the monsters. You are not needed for Youzhou for the time being." Zhong Liqing rubbed his brows and said irritably.

Jiang Yu accepted the task and was about to leave, but Zhong Liqing's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Jiang Yu, the 800-year period has not yet come, so you probably won't ignore Tianlin."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not go back on what we have agreed upon."
