He Yunjie came back on the morning of the second day.

When he came back, he was still as clean and meticulous as when he went there. When he entered the door, he said to Chu Zhao: "Let me tell all the villagers to go to bed at night. If you hear any noise at night, you are not allowed to get up to check. Anyone who fails to comply does so at their own risk.”

"okay, I get it."

Chu Zhao didn't ask anything, and immediately asked people to notify all the villagers. They must communicate it door to door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiao Ge. Have a good night's rest today and we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Chu Zhao poured the tea himself and handed it to him with a very gentle tone.

He Yunjie couldn't help being surprised. He took the tea and took a sip. He couldn't hide the fatigue in his eyes.

"Are you really going to leave tomorrow without waiting for King Jingnan?" he asked tentatively.

"No wait, the Queen Mother's health is urgent." Chu Zhao said, "Your Majesty is very stubborn. I have written to him many times asking him to return to Yunzhou, but he couldn't rest assured and insisted on pursuing me all the way."

He stopped here and looked at He Yunjie with an uneasy expression: "Can Mr. Xiaoge tell the emperor that instead of punishing the prince, let him lead the troops and live outside the city for a while until I finish diagnosing the Queen Mother's illness? , let’s go back to Yunzhou together.”

He Yunjie held the teacup calmly, wondering if she could pretend to be more like her?

It wasn't the first time he saw her. She didn't show the slightest bit of uneasiness in the prison of the General Military Mansion, and now she was pretending to be here again.

"Princess, there is no need to worry. I know that the prince is worried about the princess, so I asked the princess to wait for the prince. Then we can all return to Beijing together so that we can take care of each other."

There is a fart taking care of me, maybe he doesn’t want to catch us all.

Chu Zhao thought in his heart, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we already have a lot of people, plus the prince's people, the vastness is too eye-catching. Don't scare the people along the way. As long as Mr. Xiaoge and the court As long as you can understand him and not hold him accountable in the future."

He Yunjie saw that she kept insisting, and he didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd. He was afraid that he would arouse her suspicion by saying too much, so he had to give up temporarily.

"Since the princess has decided, let's follow the princess and set off tomorrow!"

"Okay, Mr. Xiaoge, go and have a rest. See you tomorrow morning." Chu Zhao said.

He Yunjie nodded slightly, stood up and left with your father-in-law.

Chu Zhao waited for him to go away, then called General Xiao to come over and give him some instructions.

Not long after, General Xiao led a few people out of the house in a panic, saying that he had lost his eagle and was going out to find it.

He Yunjie, who had been running around for days, had already slept in the farmer's house temporarily arranged by your father-in-law. His entourage and the little eunuch beside your father-in-law heard that General Xiao went out to look for eagles, but they didn't take it to heart.

It's just a missing bird, it's not worth alarming Mr. Xiaoge.

General Xiao went out for a day and came back in the evening, carrying an eagle with its eyes spinning wildly on his shoulders.

Seeing that he had indeed found the eagle, He Yunjie's people put the matter aside and ignored it.

General Xiao carried Marshal Xiao to find Chu Zhao and reported to Chu Zhao everything he had heard.

Chu Zhao was very happy after hearing this. He hugged Marshal Xiao himself and fed him some dried meat.

Marshal Xiao's eyes lit up green when he saw the dried meat, and he devoured it piece by piece.

Chu Zhao was very surprised and asked General Xiao: "Didn't you say that the marshal himself knows how to hunt and doesn't like eating dried meat?"

"..." General Xiao chuckled dryly, "Maybe it just wants a change of taste."

"You liar!" Chu Zhao glared at him angrily, "I will personally feed the Marshal's dried meat from now on, and you are not allowed to touch it."

Marshal Xiao seemed to understand Chu Zhao's words, rubbed his mouth on her face, nestled in her arms and never left.

General Xiao was speechless.

Even if I eat some of its dried meat, does all the years of nurturing it count?

Should we say it is ungrateful or ungrateful?

"Go and call Qi Fengshan." Chu Zhao said, stroking Marshal Xiao's smooth feathers.

General Xiao shook his fist at Marshal Xiao, turned around and went out.

Qi Fengshan soon followed General Xiao and asked Chu Zhao what his orders were.

Chu Zhao wrote a letter and asked him to send it to Murong Xiao.

Qi Fengshan received the letter and asked Chu Zhao: "The princess really doesn't plan to wait for the prince?"

"No wait, walking together is not necessarily a good thing." Chu Zhao said, "Sir, there is no need to worry, just do as I say, and there will be nothing wrong."

Qi Fengshan was still worried and asked: "Princess, do you really think that the prince can destroy that group of bandits?"

Chu Zhao laughed: "Your Majesty wants to dominate the world. If you can't even deal with a group of local forces, it's better to go back to Yunzhou as soon as possible."

Qi Fengshan was speechless.

Chu Zhao added: "I understand what you are thinking. You have been with the prince for many years, and you have already regarded the prince as your child in your heart. Just like every parent in the world, no matter how capable a child is, his parents still feel that he cannot do it alone. But you have to remember that children who are always held by their parents cannot walk long distances."

Qi Fengshan couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic as she told him exactly what was on his mind.

The princess is obviously just a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, but she always sees things so clearly, as if she has lived several lifetimes.

This feeling is really strange.

"I understand, everything should be done according to the princess' wishes!" he said with shame.

Chu Zhao nodded with a smile: "In that case, sir, you should rest quickly after delivering the letter. You will have enough energy before you can go on the road tomorrow."

Qi Fengshan responded respectfully and retreated.

Early the next morning, Chu Zhao got up to wash up and change clothes. Just as he was about to have breakfast, a large number of villagers came in droves. They knelt outside the courtyard and kowtowed to thank the princess and the Jingnan Army for helping them find the lost food.

Compared to the desperate cries after losing food yesterday, today it is the tears of joy after losing food.

Chu Zhao went out to accept the courtesy from the people, said some words of comfort, and turned to He Yunjie, who was standing next to her, and asked: "Mr. Xiaoge, you don't mind if I take the credit, right?"

He Yunjie looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and thanking the princess for her kindness. He couldn't explain how he felt.

He could not claim the credit for the grain he bought with 1 taels of silver.

He couldn't even figure out why he had to spend 1 taels for these lowly people?

In his mind, it wasn't worth it at all.

Princess Jingnan said that he had lived in high places for a long time and did not understand the sufferings of the people.

But why does he have to understand this? Everyone in this world is born unequal, but he happened to be born in a high family.

Even without him, the food of these people would still have to support other high-ranking officials, other families, and other dignitaries.

Who allowed them to be born as common people?

That's why he told Princess Jingnan not to try to be anyone's savior, because the rules of this world have always been like this.

The weak eat the strong, fight for power, human nature, no one can change it even in another 1000 or 1 years.

What about a woman?

"It's getting late, let's get on our way!" He Yunjie said calmly with his hands behind his back.

Anyway, this is not the first time that someone has robbed him of his credit. The credit given to him is just the icing on the cake and of little use.

Even if he is notorious and full of evil, he is still the unmatched Mr. He Xiaoge.

Looking at the world, apart from the Queen Mother and his father, who else can compare with him.

His emperor cousin was nothing more than a puppet of the He family.

This supreme honor and supreme imperial power, why should we add more icing on the cake?
