Princess Yongan's Mansion.

Ling Yuyan stood at the door of the main hall, looking at Li Wuji who was slowly walking towards her. Her expression was slightly nervous, and she didn't know where to put her cramped hands.

When she heard that Xia Qiu said that Li Wuji came to visit her, she felt indescribable the joy in her heart, and the depression she had felt for many days disappeared in an instant.

Since the last separation, she has been blaming herself, thinking that from now on, Marquis Li'an would never come to visit her again.

"Son."

After Li Wuji came closer, Ling Yuyan leaned forward slightly and spoke nervously.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Wuji smiled and said softly.

"Um."

Ling Yuyan nodded, but she could only scribble in agreement, not knowing what to say.

She no longer knew how to face Li Wuji.

"Won't you buy me a cup of tea?"

Li Wuji looked at the helpless Ling Yuyan and asked with a smile.

"Oh, yes!"

"Master, please come in!"

Ling Yuyan came to her senses, quickly stepped aside, and said embarrassedly.

Li Wuji smiled and said nothing, and walked inside. When he passed by Ling Yuyan, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his heart was instantly filled with excitement.

In fact, these days, he has been thinking about Ling Yuyan all the time, but he has important things to do and he has no time to dwell on his children's personal relationship. He can only miss her alone at night.

In the main hall, the two of them were sitting opposite each other. The familiarity they had in the past seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.

Ling Yuyan didn't know how to deal with herself, so she spoke less and less. She just exchanged a few casual greetings and then fell into a long silence.

"I came to say goodbye."

Li Wuji was silent for a long time, and after taking a sip of tea, he said lightly.

"Where to go?!"

"do what?!"

"Is there any danger?!"

As soon as Ling Yuyan finished listening, she couldn't help but asked anxiously like a barrage of questions.

"I'm going on a long trip to do some errands."

Li Wuji smiled and answered slowly.

He knew that she actually cared about him.

"Is it dangerous?"

Ling Yuyan also realized that her performance just now was a bit excessive, coughed awkwardly, readjusted her emotions, and asked softly.

"No."

Li Wuji smiled and said casually.

"That's good. How long will it take?"

Ling Yuyan nodded and continued to ask.

"It may be soon, or it may be a long time, we don't know yet."

Li Wuji told the truth and spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay, then I wish you a safe journey and a speedy return."

Ling Yuyan smiled and said seriously, as if she was praying to heaven.

"How are you... lately?"

Li Wuji hesitated and asked slowly, looking straight at Ling Yuyan.

"very good."

"Thank you for your concern, sir."

Ling Yuyan nodded and replied softly, shyly avoiding Li Wuji's gaze.

"Okay, take care of yourself, I'm leaving first."

Li Wuji took a sip of tea, said something with a smile, and stood up directly.

"He's leaving now?!"

When Ling Yuyan heard this, she couldn't help but stood up and asked loudly, confused, with surprise and reluctance in her eyes.

"I'm not leaving today, but it's just a few days away. I just wanted to see you before I leave. After all, I don't know when we will see you next time."

"Now that I've seen you, it's time for me to leave."

Li Wuji nodded and said slowly, his eyes also showing reluctance.

To be honest, he really wanted to take her with him, but he knew that was impossible.

"Okay, then, young master, please go slowly and Yu Yan won't send you off."

Ling Yuyan bit her lips, bowed and said in despair.

"Stay."

Li Wuji smiled and said that he walked out of the main hall and walked towards the main door.

Ling Yuyan stood there, watching Li Wuji gradually disappear from her sight, feeling indescribable in her heart.

The tea on the table was still steaming, but Li Wuji left in a hurry. She felt an indescribable grievance in her heart, not because of Li Wuji, but because of her own fate.

She knew that there would be danger if she left Wuji.

If Li Wuji had just answered that she was in danger, she wouldn't be worried because she believed he could face it.

But Li Wuji's answer was no. There is only one possibility, and that is that the dangers encountered during this trip are unknown and uncontrollable. Even Li Wuji himself doesn't know what will happen.

Therefore, Ling Yuyan was extremely worried at this time, but she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that Li Wuji would come back safe and sound.

…

Yunxiao Palace.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that what you have just said in the court is correct. If you want to ensure the stability of the northern border, Marquis Li'an is the best candidate."

Shi Wei knelt in the center of the hall and said with a pious expression.

Kneeling next to him was Leng Yue, the envoy of the Five Elements Division.

In the morning meeting today, when the empress mentioned the matter of the Northern Territory, many ministers almost unanimously said that Marquis Li'an was the best candidate for the Northern Territory trip.

These people include Luo Ping, the commander of the capital camp guard, Zhu Wenqing, the minister of household affairs, and Cui Yunqi, the minister of rites.

"But although Marquis Li'an is a marquis, he has no official position. Is it inappropriate to let him go to the north to resolve the matter?"

The empress frowned and said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, for this reason, he is the best candidate. This trip to the north is not to lead troops in a war, nor to handle political affairs in the north for the imperial court."

"Since the other party assassinated our generals in the Jianghu way, let's solve it in the Jianghu way. Marquis Li'an is the next successor of the Wuji Sect. In the name of the Wuji Sect, which sect in the Jianghu dares to despise him?

"

"What's more, the other party is just a group of Pang Xun's old tribe who gathered together in a rabble?"

Shi Wei raised his hands and analyzed it seriously.

After listening to Shi Wei's answer, the empress suddenly felt that it made sense and couldn't help but nodded.

However, Leng Yue, who was kneeling next to Shi Wei, frowned and a sneer flashed at the corner of her mouth.

"Pass on my decree to summon Marquis Li'an to the palace for an audience!"

After thinking for a moment, the empress said in a deep voice.

Immediately, a red fish guard received the holy order and quickly left the palace and headed to Li'an Hou Mansion.

After a long time, Li Wuji entered the palace according to the order and came to Yunxiao Palace.

"I have met His Majesty!"

After Li Wuji entered the palace, he slowly walked to Leng Yue and Shi Wei who were kneeling on the ground, bowed his hands and said respectfully.

"No gift!"

The empress nodded with satisfaction, looked straight at Li Wuji, and waved her hand.

"I wonder why your Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

Li Wuji asked slowly with a harmless smile on his face.
