As soon as Jiang Youzhi finished speaking, Yun Jiao excitedly said, "I want to go!"

She really missed Qi Er and You Er. Now, they might not even be able to come back once a month. If she went to the traveling palace, she could see them every day.

Jiang Youzhi’s lips curled up, and he kissed Yun Jiao on the face, "I’ll speak to His Majesty about it tomorrow."

The next day, there was no early court session. At this time, His Majesty was usually in the Imperial Study Room reviewing memorials and handling state affairs.

Jiang Youzhi went to the entrance of the Imperial Study Room to seek an audience.

After the eunuch reported his presence, Jiang Youzhi was quickly invited in.

Upon seeing Jiang Youzhi enter, His Majesty smiled and said, "Just now Xiao Xizi said Jiang Aiqing has personal matters to discuss with me?"

"It’s rare for you to have a personal matter to ask of me. Go ahead, what is it?"

Jiang Youzhi looked at His Majesty, who seemed to have a somewhat teasing look, as if he knew what he was about to say. He lightly coughed, "I wish to ask Your Majesty to allow my wife to accompany me to the traveling palace."

His Majesty’s eyebrows raised high, then slowly fell, suddenly bursting into laughter, "I thought it was something important; it turns out the Lord Chief Minister cannot bear to part with his lovely wife."

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Youzhi helplessly looked at His Majesty, who was laughing heartily on the dragon throne.

It was only at times like this that he seemed like the former Prince Kang, who used to be close enough with him to share a bed.

His Majesty laughed for a while, "If I say no, would the Lord Chief Minister feign illness and not attend court for two months?"

Jiang Youzhi said helplessly, "Your Majesty, please don’t make fun of me, just let me know if it’s possible or not."

His Majesty sat on the dragon throne, smiling as he watched Jiang Youzhi.

Suddenly, he recalled the news of Dingjing City being breached back then. Jiang Youzhi had immediately wanted to go to Dingjing City to find Yun Jiao and Lady Wu.

It was he who pulled him back firmly, calming him down, and made him rationally think it over. He couldn’t possibly enter Dingjing City; it would have been in vain to go.

He had a long night of heartfelt discussion with him, pleading for him to assist his ascension to the throne and manage this shattered country.

Moreover, he promised him that if he were willing to become the Chief Cabinet Minister, he would do everything in his power to help him find Lady Wu and Doctor Gu.

He could see that Jiang Youzhi was emotionally unstable at the time, but he still had a trace of rationality. He knew that relying solely on his own power, he would not be able to find anyone.

Only by agreeing to become the Chief Minister, by having more authority and manpower, would he have a chance to find the people he wanted to find.

Jiang Youzhi quickly persuaded the Duke of England to gather the remnants that fled from the north, supported his enthronement, and then worked feverishly day and night to handle various affairs.

It was also through the efforts of their fathers and sons that the new court gradually took shape.

As soon as the court was established, its foundations were still unstable. Jiang Youzhi received news that Yun Jiao had been taken to the Prince Mansion by the second prince of Jin Country. He then requested some Death Warriors to go to Huining to rescue his mother and wife.

It was also at that time that His Majesty understood that, for some people, fame, fortune, and even life were far less important than the person in their heart.

He knew he couldn’t stop Jiang Youzhi, so he gave him a few Death Warriors and provided him with the contact methods of the Spy Department.

From that moment on, His Majesty never had the slightest doubt about Jiang Youzhi again.

A person who values love and affections above everything else cannot be someone who acts solely out of self-interest, much less someone consumed by a lust for power.

The Duke of England was the same. If it weren’t for His Majesty’s earnest request that he stay to maintain order, the Duke of England would have long been impatient to join Jiang Youzhi in searching for Lady Wu.

Everyone thought Jiang Youzhi and his son held immense power. Everyone thought he would harbor suspicions about them, but he genuinely did not.
