Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 144 Resigning from old age and returning home

Li Junyi walked into the palace with black lines on his head. When he saw Su Junxi making tea and waiting for him in the study, the dark clouds on his forehead dissipated.

"Xi'er, my husband is back." Li Junyi walked into the study with a smile.

His smile was a bit bitter, and he looked exhausted both physically and mentally.

Su Junxi poured a cup of tea and handed it over. Just as she was about to invite Li Junyi to sit down, her eyes fell on the sachet around Li Junyi's waist.

"Where did this sachet come from, Your Majesty?" Su Junxi said in an interrogating tone.

Li Junyi glanced at it and said, "Didn't I take this away from my husband that day without you paying attention? Just treat it as a gift from you to my husband."

Although the sachet on his waist was somewhat similar to the one he showed off, Su Junxi recognized at a glance that the sachet on his waist was not made by her.

But Li Junyi's tone and attitude didn't sound like he was lying. Is there any misunderstanding in this?

Su Junxi glanced at her head lightly and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I've even forgotten about this."

Li Junyi heard that Su Junxi was jealous, and immediately comforted him: "Don't think so wildly, my husband's place is only for peace."

He grabbed Su Junxi's hand and put it on his chest, promising.

Li Junyi's heartbeat could be clearly felt in the palm of his hand, and Su Junxi was amused: "Okay. You must be tired. I'll have someone prepare hot water. Go wash up and relax."

Su Junxi also heard the rumors in Kyoto and knew that he was physically and mentally exhausted when he entered the palace this time, so she got up and undressed him.

After Li Junyi came out of the shower, he saw that Su Junxi was gone and wanted to go out to look for her, but Li Yi at the door blocked his way: "The princess told me that the prince can only leave this room after finishing the food on the table. "

Li Junyi only wanted to see Su Junxi quickly and wanted to push Li Yi away and leave, but Li Yi was resolute and refused to give in at all.

"Don't forget who has the final say in the palace!" Li Junyi felt that Li Yi was a little ignorant.

Li Yi glanced at Li Junyi and turned away: "Of course, the prince has the final say."

"Then why don't you get out of the way!" Li Junyi said angrily.

Li Yi continued to add: "But this is the princess's order! The prince said that in the house, everything must obey the princess's instructions, including the prince yourself,"

His own words have now become a stumbling block for him. Li Junyi hates but can't speak. Li Yi's failure to adapt makes him even more angry.

"Your Majesty, the food is getting cold." Li Yi reminded him kindly when he saw that Li Junyi was lost in thought.

In desperation, Li Junyi had to eat the food, and Li Yi only let him leave after eating.

But when Li Junyi walked out of the study, Su Junxi was also rushing towards him.

Su Junxi looked ugly. Li Junyi was afraid that something had happened, so he immediately asked her: "What happened? Why does she look so bad?"

"Something happened in the military camp." Su Junxi said, suppressing the sadness in her heart.

As soon as he heard that something happened in the military camp, Li Junyi's face turned ugly. Isn't Su Junxi's brother in the military camp?

Li Junyi was about to ask about Su Buyue's situation when Su Junxi continued: "Today, the soldiers in the military camp were doing morning exercises. A group of men in black armed with weapons entered the military camp. Although the soldiers resisted bravely, most of them were In physical combat, there is no advantage, and there will be heavy casualties.”

Li Junyi's face turned pale when he heard the news. These soldiers were all carefully selected good young men. They died in the military camp before they even went to the battlefield, in Kyoto, which was guarded by layers of troops.

"My brother was injured and has been taken back to the palace to recuperate. My father is old and Duke Anguo is planning to move the family back to Jiangnan. My father has already sent a memorial to the palace that he and his brother will retire and return home." Su Junxi felt unhappy. Before she returned home after getting married, her parents' family was about to move away from Kyoto. Li Junyi knew that An Guogong had made up his mind, and nothing he said would help, so he said: "Since An Guogong has decided, then respect his choice. Today I will take you to the cupboard door."

The decision to return home was hasty, but Li Junyi had prepared gifts before, and Li Yi asked people to take them with them when they left.

As soon as they arrived at An Guo Gong's residence, they saw Su Buyue with her hands wrapped in gauze sitting in the study chatting with An Guo Gong.

Seeing Li Junyi and Su Junxi coming back, they immediately stood up to greet them: "See you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Father, please sit down quickly." Su Junxi quickly stepped forward to help An Guogong.

Li Junyi saw that Su Buyue's injuries were not serious. There were some scratches on her face, her upper body was naked, and the countless wounds were shocking.

The doctor behind her was giving medicine to Su Buyue. When Su Buyue saw the two of them returning home suddenly, she knew that something had happened to her. Su Junxi insisted on returning home, so Li Junyi had to take her back.

"Kingto is not at peace. It is safer for the prince and princess to stay in the palace." Su Buyue was afraid that something would happen to them. After all, these people dared to attack even the military camp. What else did they not dare to do?

Li Junyi suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Oh, even the palace is not safe, let alone a mere palace?"

Duke An Guo also heard about Li Junyi's assassination in the palace in the morning. He had already thought that when Su Buyue got the medicine, he would send someone to the palace to ask about the situation.

Now Li Junyi appears in Anguo Palace safe and sound, and it seems that there is nothing serious.

"I heard that the prince was assassinated in the palace this morning. Was he injured?" An Guogong asked carefully.

Su Buyue was shocked when she heard that Li Junyi had been assassinated, and Su Junxi was even more frightened. Why didn't she know that this happened?

"It's okay. I heard today that my father-in-law and brother are going back to Jiangnan. I should have brought Xi'er back a few days ago, but for safety reasons, I have delayed it until now. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me." Li Junyi raised his tea cup and drank tea instead. Drink, get punished.

Duke An Guo dared not say anything, so he echoed, "My lord, I can think of Xi'er. I'm very pleased."

Mrs. Anguo and Su Wenling had packed their things and were walking to the study. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Junyi's Su Junxi.

"Little sister?!" Su Wenling looked at Su Junxi in disbelief.

Su Junxi turned back: "Mother, sister."

"Xi'er is back." Mrs. An Guo's eyes were full of distress, and she stepped forward to take Su Junxi's hand and stroked it gently.

In this warm scene, Li Yi suddenly walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the emperor has sent you a message to enter the palace."

"Why do you want to see the prince all of a sudden?" Su Junxi's tone was a little harsh. It was obvious that she didn't want Li Junyi to enter the palace this time.

Li Yi reported truthfully: "My subordinates heard that Prime Minister Cao handed over the memorial and wanted to retire and return home."

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. Why did Prime Minister Cao suddenly hand over the tiger charm that he had protected for his whole life?

At this time, An Guogong also took out the tiger talisman on his body and handed it to Li Junyi: "This is the old minister's piece, and it should be regarded as Xi'er's dowry."

Li Junyi declined: "I absolutely cannot do it."

"I can't leave Kyoto with the Tiger Talisman. You take your mother and sister and leave Kyoto tonight." An Guogong knew the seriousness of Prime Minister Cao handing over the Tiger Talisman, but he didn't know that he would use this Tiger Talisman. To whom.

"If my father doesn't leave, I won't leave either!" Su Wenling refused directly.

Mrs. Anguo's behavior was still generous: "You and I are husband and wife, how can we fly separately when a disaster strikes? We won't leave, we will stay in Kyoto and face it together!" (End of this chapter)
