Do you want me to open your meridians?

"Lord Yuwen, the Emperor summons you and Madam to the palace immediately."

Yuwen Mansion, at the home of the number one Grand Marshal of the Army and Horse, Yuwen Tong. Yuwen Zhi smiled and gave the imperial eunuch, Wang Baolu, some silver, and asked: "Eunuch Wang, do you know for what purpose the Emperor suddenly summoned this time?"

Wang Baolu returned Yuwen Zhi's silver back, and said with difficulty: "It's not that we don't want to tell Master Yuwen, it's just that we don't know what the emperor's intentions are, but the emperor's expression is still quite calm."

The silver bills were not given out. Yuwen Zhi cursed in his heart, but he still showed a grateful expression on his face: "Thank you for your advice, Elder Wang. I will enter the palace with Madam now."

"Lord Yuwen is too polite. We'll leave first and wait for Lord Yuwen and his wife to enter the palace." Wang Baolu said.

"Take care, Eunuch Wang." Yuwen Zhi said.

After sending off Wang Baolu, Yuwen Zhi immediately went to find his own wife, Zheng's family, and had her follow him into the palace.

"Why did the emperor suddenly summon us?" Zheng's family, who was being attended to by a servant, quickly changed his clothes as he asked puzzledly. He was clearly in his forties, but he still maintained his appearance properly.

"Don't mention it, Wang Baolu was unwilling to say more. Yuwen Zhi said with an ugly expression.

"What?! Did something happen?" Zheng's family was shocked, and hesitated to change his clothes.

"No matter what it is, we have to enter the palace as soon as possible. We have to block the water when it comes to fighting, and since the emperor specifically allowed you to follow him into the palace, he will definitely ask you something. You have to answer carefully, and if you don't know how to answer, push it all onto me, I will say." Yuwen Zhi said.

The Zheng's family replied anxiously, changed his clothes and followed Yuwen Zhi into the palace.

After they paid their respects to the Emperor, they saw that he was looking at them with an expressionless face.

"I wonder what orders the Emperor has for him to summon this subject and his son to the palace." Yuwen Zhi secretly observed the emperor's expression and said.

Zheng's family stood beside Yuwen Zhi with her head down. The emperor's silence made her a little afraid.

"My beloved one, you have been able to see where my Grand Marshal of the Army and Horse has gone to." The Emperor leaned on his chair as he slowly asked.

Yuwen Tong? Yuwen Zhi did not understand, "He should be returning to the capital soon."

The emperor's sharp eyes looked at Yuwen Zhi for a while before he said, "It seems like even my beloved does not know."

"Your Majesty, did Yuwen Tong do anything wrong? If so, please forgive this child for the sake of him wholeheartedly defending the borders of the Da Yue. " Yuwen Zhi said as he knelt on the ground.

Zheng's family also quickly knelt down.

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. We did not say that he did anything wrong. You are asking too much of him." The Emperor said.

Yuwen Zhi hurriedly apologized, while Zheng's family also apologized.

"Stand up, I have something to ask you two, husband and wife." The Emperor said.

Yuwen Zhi and the Zheng's family stood up, "Your Majesty asks, this subject will definitely speak his mind."

"Since when has Yuwen's beloved daughter been engaged to be married? Why have you two been hiding it all this time?" The Emperor said.

These words were as shocking as stone. Yuwen Zhi and Zheng's family were frozen in place.

"An engagement? He doesn't have a marriage contract?" Zheng's family was confused at first as he looked at Yuwen Zhi.

The emperor looked at Zheng's family, then looked at Wang Baolu.

Wang Baolu stood out and said: "Marshal Yuwen went to Tan Yang, he said that he went to look for his engagement partner."

Tan Yang? While Zheng's family was still in confusion, Yuwen Zhi's complexion changed.

The emperor's eyes also changed. He stared at Yuwen Zhi and asked: "I remember my beloved official."

Zheng's family looked at her husband in puzzlement, and then, she seemed to have thought of something and slowly opened her eyes wide, "Impossible!"

"Impudent!" Is Lady Yuwen questioning the Emperor? " Wang Baolu shouted.

"Please forgive me Your Majesty." Zheng's family was shocked and quickly kneeled down. "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Yuwen Zhi also quickly kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, "My apologies, my apologies, but this subject is willing to accept your punishment on behalf of my apologies."

"Alright, it's not a big deal. Why are you making such a big fuss over nothing? Wang Baolu won't threaten Lady Yu Wen anymore." The Emperor said.

"Servant deserves to die." Wang Baolu said.

"Yuwen Zhi, what were you trying to say just now?" The Emperor said.

Yuwen Zhi looked at his wife who was trembling uncontrollably, and knew that if he did not tell her the truth, the emperor would definitely not be able to speak so easily. The most critical thing was that Yuwen Tong had already revealed this matter, and with his personality, he was unable to hide it anymore.

"To reply to the emperor, this subject has indeed not thought of this matter for a moment. I did not reply immediately, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Oh? "A long time ago?" The Emperor seemed interested.

"This marriage was set twenty years ago, and the other party is the eldest grandson of the great master Ling Xingzhong, who was previously appointed as Minister of Rites." Yuwen Zhi said.

The emperor frowned. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "It's him. I remember he left for his hometown very soon."

"Your majesty is wise. Lord Ling has indeed returned to her hometown, the Tan Yang. Back then, when my father and Lord Ling made this engagement, Lord Ling's eldest son had just gotten married. As the eldest wife had just gotten pregnant, it was unknown whether he was a man or a woman. After that, Lord Ling returned to the Tan Yang, and the two families were too far away, so we didn't contact each other anymore. Later on, I heard from the merchants in the Tan Yang that Lord Ling's first wife gave birth to a son, and thought that since he was a boy, this marriage contract was already annulled. After so many years, this subject has almost forgotten about it. " Yuwen Zhi said.

"Oh? "Boy?" The Emperor smiled, "This is unexpected. That Yu Wen's beloved daughter is now saying that she is going to Tan Yang to find her engaged with someone. What's going on?"

"This... In reply to the Emperor, this subject has not seen my nephew for three years, and this subject has not told this matter to my nephew. I really don't know where he found out about this, nor did I expect that he would want to go to Tan Yang to see that boy. In the end, they are both men, so it's impossible for the two of them to get married. " Yuwen Zhi said as a matter of fact.

The emperor smiled and said, "My beloved is too narrow-minded. I am the founding emperor's queen and I am civilized. The marriage of two men is no news to me."

Yuwen Zhi was startled, what did the Emperor mean? Could it be to support Yuwen Tong marrying that Ling Family's eldest grandson?

"Your majesty, what do you mean?" Yuwen Zhi did not dare to come to a conclusion.

The emperor's reply was very ambiguous: "Everything will be discussed once Yuwen's beloved official returns to the imperial court. There's no need to rush."

Yuwen Zhi immediately replied: "This subject obeys."

When he left the palace with Yuwen Zhi, he hurriedly asked: "Hubby, how did Yuwen Tong know about the marriage? We've never told him about it all these years."

"The problem is not how he found out about the engagement, but that the emperor already knows about it!" Yuwen Zhi's face turned ugly.

"Then what should we do, our plan …" Zheng's family was anxious.

"Let's put it aside for now. I'll think about it later." Yuwen Zhi said, "Just now, the Emperor's attitude was too weird, regardless of whether we are willing or not, we have to stop our engagement for now."

The Zheng's family exclaimed, "B-but, didn't we already agree …"

"Hmph, what agreement, it's just a few words." Yuwen Zhi said.

After saying that, he angrily smashed onto the walls of the carriage, causing the Zheng's family to jump in fright.

"Hubby." The Zheng's family cried out.

"What is Yuwen Tong thinking? It's fine if he hasn't returned home in so many years, but every time he brought up the matter of marriage, he would not be cold or hot, and now he went to find a man from a rundown family. Everyone knows about him, does he want to embarrass the entire Yuwen family?" Yuwen Zhi shouted in anger.

"Husband, then are we really going to let him marry that man?" Zheng's family said unwillingly.

"I won't agree." Yuwen Zhi said.

Zheng's family looked at him hesitantly, but seeing that he was angry, he restrained himself.

Tan Yang.

A wonderful warmth flowed through his entire body, and it felt very strange. Ling Zhang could not help but ask Yuwen Tong: "This is inner force?"

"That's right." Yuwen Tong looked up at him, "How do you feel now?"

"I'm fine." Ling Zhang said, seeing that Yuwen Tong's hand was still on his leg, he quickly avoided it, "There's no need to do that anymore."

Yuwen Tong got up, "I feel that the meridians in your body are not very clear, it will affect your body, if you are willing, I can help you clear them out."

Of course Ling Zhang was moved upon hearing this, but he was also a little hesitant if he had to trouble Yuwen Tong to help him make the connection.

In addition to helping you clear your meridians with your internal energy, you also need to bathe in some sort of medicine. I see that Tan Yang has an extremely large amount of medicinal ingredients, so it shouldn't be difficult to complete the ingredients. After the meridians in your entire body are cleared, not only will your body be much better, even if you want to practice martial arts you will be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort. " Yuwen Tong continued.

The more Ling Zhang listened, the more interested he became. He insisted on horse stance every morning just to learn kung fu, and Yuwen Tong's suggestion was basically tailor-made for him. It would be really difficult to reject it.

"Of course, you can also consider it. I'm not in a hurry to leave." Yuwen Tong said. Although he said that, but after seeing Ling Zhang train hard in the morning, he believed that Ling Zhang would agree.

Ling Zhang also agreed, he did not think for long, and agreed: "Using inner force to clear the meridians, will it be troublesome for you?"

"It's nothing. It's also a form of cultivation for me." Yuwen Tong said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to help me." Ling Zhang said.

"Sure, I'll give you the prescription when we get back. Get someone to prepare it for you. It'll have a better effect if you use both together." Yuwen Tong said.

Ling Zhang nodded his head: "Alright, I will get everyone ready as soon as possible."

Because of this, Ling Zhang's attitude towards Yuwen Tong had unknowingly softened. After all, he could not take advantage of his and even give his face, right?

The two of them brought their horses out of the forest and left the area and returned back to the Tan Yang. After entering the city, they returned the horses back to the Horse-shop and walked back to the Ling Family.
