"It is said that the previous queen was a spy from southern Xinjiang. She poisoned the late emperor. Although she was cured by the divine doctor Fu Kang, her health was not as good as before. She was assassinated and passed away."

"Where did you hear that?" How could such a private matter in the palace be spread so widely?

The man said: "It is said that she has great magical powers and escaped from the prison. She has not been caught yet. During this period, there are soldiers everywhere, searching for her."

"The queen is a spy. Isn't she pregnant?" Bai Wei continued to ask.

The man: "I'll tell you secretly. I heard from an official working in Shengjing that the child in the late queen's belly is not the late emperor's at all."

"This matter is just a few private chats among everyone. It is not clear whether it is true or not. Just listen to it casually."

Bai Wei returned to Xuanyuan Xi's side, "Princess, this..."

"We will know what happened when we return to Shengjing." Although Xuanyuan Xi had many doubts in his heart, he did not show it.

At this time, several people next to them started chatting again.

"I heard that the eunuch Qi who was beside the late emperor also followed the late emperor. It can be said that the master and servant have a deep affection!"

"The late emperor had no children, so this wise king was pushed to the throne by the ministers. I also heard that if he had not suffered from eye disease seven years ago, he should have been the prince."

"What should be yours will be yours sooner or later, and what should not be yours cannot be forced!"

"..."

Xuanyuan Xi and Bai Wei were having lunch while listening to the people next to them chatting.

After lunch, the two also learned about some recent situations from them.

Although the new emperor has not participated in government affairs in recent years, he has no shortage of strategies and means, and he cleared the court soon.

Today's Tianqi is unprecedentedly peaceful.

It was dusk when the two returned to Shengjing. The old housekeeper of the general's mansion brought a group of people from the mansion to greet Xuanyuan Xi at the door.

As soon as he entered the house, Xuanyuan Xi received a reward sent by Xuanyuan Yan.

Bai Wei looked at the silks and jewels sent, a little confused, "Why did His Majesty suddenly send a reward?"

Xuanyuan Xi was also a little confused, "Maybe it's because of Achuan!"

"That makes sense, the general and His Majesty have always had a good relationship." Bai Wei tacitly agreed with Xuanyuan Xi's statement.

Back in the mansion, Xuanyuan Xi learned about the current situation in Shengjing through everyone.

Except for the change of the emperor and the fall of several officials, everything is normal.

The palace, Yangxin Palace.

Ming Qi: "Your Majesty, the things you sent to the general's mansion have been delivered."

"Well, I'll visit my aunt another day." Xuanyuan Yan said.

Over the years, she is the only one who cares about him and sends him some gifts every year and festival.

Although the gifts are not expensive, they are all necessities, and it can be seen that she has put a lot of thought into it.

Ming Qi said, "Princess Xuanhe has not been in good health in recent years. She has been recovering from illness. I wonder how she is now?"

"Send the imperial physician to the general's mansion another day. Achuan is at the front line. I should take good care of his mother." Xuanyuan Yan said.

Ming Qi agreed, "I will arrange it later."

"If I remember correctly, Princess Xuanhe's birthday is in a few days. Prepare a big gift."

"Your Majesty, I think you should choose a eunuch chief to serve you personally."

He has changed his appearance now, but he still does the work of a eunuch.

There are no women in the palace who give him money. This job is really thankless.

Xuanyuan Yan raised his head, "Oh, you have been with Xuanyuan Sheng for five years and you haven't complained about being tired. You have only been with me for a few days and you want to find a better job?"

"... Your Majesty, that's not what I mean. I just want to switch with Ming Jiu." Ming Qi explained.

Xuanyuan Yan said slowly: "Oh, do you think you can beat him after five years of hard training in the palace?"

"... Your Majesty, just pretend that I didn't say anything. I am very satisfied with the present."

Ming Jiu is also a strange man. He doesn't show off his skills on weekdays, but his martial arts value crushes everyone.

Although he is not very smart, he obeys orders and has been with Xuanyuan Yan for many years, protecting him very well.

The two of them were selected by Xuanyuan Yan from the secret guards back then. At that time, the two could fight evenly.

But now, he is no match for Ming Jiu, so he decided not to humiliate himself.

At the border, Qin Yuchuan received a letter from Xuanyuan Yan.

After seeing the content of the letter, he didn't think too much and prepared to send someone to intercept it.

He knew that Murong Yan, that woman, was closely connected with Southern Xinjiang, but he didn't expect that she would be the princess of Southern Xinjiang.

She even assassinated Xuanyuan Sheng and escaped from the Heavenly Prison.

The prison has always been heavily guarded, with three layers of guards inside and outside, and she is the only one who has escaped so far.

But now it has been some time since she escaped, and he is not sure whether he can catch her.

Although the border is a little far from Shengjing, Xuanyuan Yan has been on the throne for a few days, and the army also knows what happened in the court.

Namuqi saw Qin Yuchuan burning the letter, "General, is it the secret letter of His Majesty?"

"Well, send a team of people to garrison around Nanwu City. If there are any suspicious people, take them all down." Qin Yuchuan ordered.

Namuqi: "But who are you looking for?"

"Murong Yan is going back to Southern Xinjiang, and she will definitely pass through Nanwu. Let our people pay attention. If we see her, arrest her immediately."

Namuqi agreed, "I understand."

At this moment, Murong Yan, who was being chased by the soldiers, settled down in an abandoned thatched house.

"Your Highness, the journey has been bumpy these days. I wonder if Your Highness is okay?"

Although Rong Sheng was worried, he was still cold on the surface, and people could not see his emotions.

Murong Yan looked at him, "I am fine, thanks to you for coming in time this time."

"Protecting Your Highness is what I should do." Rong Sheng said.

Murong Yan sat down on the chair, "Rong Sheng, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"

"Everything has been done according to Your Highness's instructions." Rong Sheng replied.

Murong Yan: "That's good, is it safe here?"

"Replying to Your Highness, this place is very remote, and the soldiers will not come."

Murong Yan is very relieved when Rong Sheng does things.

"Then we will stay here for the next few months. After I give birth to the baby, I will return to Southern Xinjiang."

Xuanyuan Yan has now sent various pursuers to hunt her down. If he knows that she is heading towards Southern Xinjiang, he will definitely notify Qin Yuchuan to stop her in Nanwu.

Just in case, she will temporarily settle down here and plan to return to Southern Xinjiang after giving birth to the baby.

In the second year of Tianqi, he thought everything was within his reach, but he didn't expect Xuanyuan Yan to show up halfway and make wedding clothes for him in vain.

She doesn't believe that he has no idea about that position.
