The two walked away talking and laughing. Behind them, they followed Eunuch Zhao, whom His Majesty had just sent.

"Two ladies, Your Majesty has decreed that the weather has been unpredictable recently. To avoid any damage to your health, please go back to the palace to rest..."

When he passed by Rong Yan again, Concubine Ji didn't even give him a look. Rong Yan suddenly laughed when he thought about the people who had accompanied him all the way but failed to accompany him to the end.

"I disappoint you. Mr. Han is currently in the Qinzheng Hall."

Anyway, they will know it soon, not even in a moment.

Concubine Ji's face, which seemed to have remained unchanged for a thousand years, finally turned pale, and she suddenly turned around: "What did you say?"

However, Rong Yan smiled and saluted her: "Mother and concubine, take good care of your health. I, son and minister, will retire."

He didn't look at Concubine Ji behind him and held her palm tightly, even walking back to the palace much faster. He turned around and asked Xiao Ran, who had been waiting for him: "Aunt Xiao, shouldn't I be so childish?"

Xiao Ran slapped him on the back: "How old are you? If a young man wants to lose his temper, do he still have to hold it in?"

She sighed and patted his shoulder: "Okay, I'm here with my aunt. You can be angry if you want to be angry, and you can cry if you want to cry. Didn't your emperor ask you to rest for a day before leaving? Let's go to my aunt's house for dinner. You must not have eaten outside, okay? Look at you, you must be thin... Huh? Why do you seem to be a little stronger?"

Rong Yan's mood seems to have calmed down a lot because of these trivial thoughts, and because of this, he misses the person far away even more. Is Xiaoxiao okay? If the shadow stays with her, it should be able to protect her, right?

With Magistrate Shen here, the old house has been solved. She is so smart that she will not let herself fall into danger.

Xiaoxiao wait for me, I will go back soon.

Xiao Ran originally thought that Rong Yan would be depressed because of his mother and concubine, so she was searching for words to comfort him: "Don't be sad, there is always someone in this world who will be happy because you are happy, sad because you are sad, and will look down upon you." More important than anyone else.”

As she spoke, she also thought of that person, but didn't hear Rong Yan's "hmm" sound.

Two figures of about the same height walked into the general's mansion side by side. The food was already placed on the table. When they came back and opened the lid of the bowl for keeping warm, the handsome-looking man with a slender figure tied his hair neatly. He also wore an apron around his waist. When he saw Xiao Ran and Rong Yan coming back, he turned around and ordered: "Bring the soup first. Drinking soup before meals is good for your health."

There were four pairs of bowls and chopsticks placed on the small dining table, one of which was added for Rong Yan, but the other was untouchable, no one used it every day, and it was indispensable every day - this was the rule of the General's Mansion.

After dinner, the couple in the General's Mansion used to walk in the courtyard to eat. Today Rong Yan was also walking with them. He suddenly turned red and said, "Aunt Xiao, Uncle Gu, something happened this time. I’d like to introduce you to someone.”

Both of them were a little surprised. Looking at his expression, Xiao Ran asked uncertainly: "Male or female?"

Rong Yan coughed lightly and pursed his lips: "Woman."

Xiao Ran and his wife: Oh haha~

On the second day, the emperor ordered the troops as quickly as possible and handed them over to Xiao Ran, and then handed over the jade ruler and imperial edict representing the emperor's order to Rong Yan, so that they could set out from the capital to capture Yan Lu and bring him back to the capital.

Watching them leave, the emperor calmly asked Eunuch Zhao beside him: "How are the queen and concubine doing?"

Eunuch Zhao bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the two empresses are in their respective palaces and have not gone out. However, Prime Minister Yan said he missed the empress and went to Fengqi Palace."

He added: "But I heard outside the palace that the empress was not in good health and could not meet guests, so she left."

The emperor chuckled: "Old fox, you must already know."

Eunuch Zhao was puzzled: "Will Master Yan get the news in advance?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "How can anyone who dares to do anything under my nose not even have a backup plan?"

Eunuch Zhao said worriedly: "Then the three highnesses are leaving..."

The emperor moved his shoulders: "Young people have to endure some hardships to grow up. Besides, once he becomes the imperial envoy, he can no longer be an idler from now on."

Eunuch Zhao immediately stepped forward and rubbed the emperor's shoulders: "Your Majesty has really taken great pains to train the princes."

The emperor glanced at him: "You are overthinking. I just want to see who Concubine Ji will help if the third child and the prince confront each other."

This question is not easy to answer. If it were someone else, she would definitely be helping her parents and children, but Concubine Ji...

When it comes to the secrets of the royal family, Eunuch Zhao is very measured and just acts like a mute.

After a long time, the emperor said again: "I'm a little curious as to what made this third child, who doesn't fight or grab, suddenly feel motivated. I'm going to see Concubine Ji in the Biyu Pavilion."

On the way there, someone had already presented the information that the emperor wanted. After reading the spy's report, the emperor's face turned even more ugly when he walked into the Biyu Pavilion.

Concubine Ji still looked indifferent. When the palace servants said that Your Majesty was here, she only saluted modestly.

The emperor sat down alone, but she ignored him.

The palace people wanted to hold their breath and did not dare to move.

When the ladies next to him saw His Majesty, they were competing with each other in their charming little ways. But their face showed that they wished His Majesty could leave quickly.

I don't know how long it took, but the emperor suddenly asked: "Do you hate the third child so much?"

Concubine Ji's voice was cold: "Your Majesty is joking, Your Highness is of royal blood, who dares to hate you?"

The emperor chuckled: "Come to think of it, the third child is already sixteen, and he still doesn't have a serious job. He really has a lot of free time. It's better to wait for him to come back this time..."

Concubine Ji's hands hidden under her sleeves gradually tightened.

When Rong Yan was on his way with the soldiers ordered by the emperor, the lights in the Luozhou government office remained on all night.

The counselors circled around, constantly coming up with and overturning ways to escape responsibility.

In the end, one person's idea was agreed by most people: "As long as we make a contribution before His Highness the Third Arrives, and the merits and demerits are equal, His Majesty will surely be able to take a lighter punishment for the sake of the Yan family."

So how to establish this merit?

Yan Lu picked out one letter from a pile of letters: "I heard that a new rice seed was discovered in Fuyuan Village?"

The counselors were startled, and they reacted quickly and looked solemnly: "Where is Fuyuan Village? It was clearly planted by Master Yan after countless hardships."

Someone even said: "The construction of the dam was all done by the people below to line their own pockets. You were too focused on the new rice seeds and you were negligent and failed to notice it!"

Yan Lu nodded with satisfaction: "Go and do it."

The first thing is to put that rice seed in your bag first.

Xiaoxiao didn't know that the fruits of her labor were being watched. She thought about it and felt that Mrs. Shen was the most suitable person to ask for help. Firstly, Mr. Shen would not hide what she knew from her. Secondly, Mrs. Shen had strong financial resources. He is also inextricably connected with the Li family, so there is no problem with his connections. Thirdly, and most importantly, the pawn shop was bought by the Li family.
