Inside the city gate.

When Ji Chongning saw the people from Prince Qi's Palace retreating and preparing to set up camp, he knew that there was a brief peace at the North Gate.

In the south city, Prince Kang had already ordered people to close the city gates.

So taking advantage of this gap, the two of them prepared to go back to Prince Kang's Mansion.

After all, these two still have to discuss with their elders what to do next.

By the way, I have to see if there is any change in the condition of the person who came here lying down.

Song Ke and Prince Yong'an were responsible for guarding the north gate on both sides of the city, while the south gate was guarded by Bi Gong, the chief of staff under Prince Kang, and Mr. Bi with the palace soldiers. Eunuch Tang had also rushed over.

Originally, Chen Dongyue wanted to go back to the farm and get some pumpkins for the gatekeeper, but Ji Chongning asked her to follow him to the palace.

Song Ke asked, "Why did Dongyue go to the palace? She can't serve anyone."

"Does Prince Kang's Mansion still need servants?" Ji Chongning rolled his eyes. "I asked Director Chen to go to the palace with me. Of course, I have something important to ask her. Brother, don't you agree?"

Prince Kang nodded seriously, "Yes."

Although he didn't know what it was.

But, it is 'yes'.

"I am a military officer after all, so you don't have to worry about me." Chen Dongyue raised his chin towards Song Ke.

Then he continued, "Just stay here and wait. I'll have Song Yang bring you food later. Whatever you like... Never mind, don't order any food at this time. Just eat whatever we cook."

"Okay, then you be careful and don't agree to everything. Do what you can." Song Ke couldn't help but tell Chen Dongyue.

Chen Dongyue didn't answer, but just nodded at Song Ke and walked away.

Ji Chongning and Prince Kang followed her instead.

To be honest, having been a street stalker in Liaocheng for so long, Chen Dongyue does know the streets and alleys of Liaocheng better than these two.

So when they went to Prince Kang's Mansion, Chen Dongyue rode Chen Gangdan and took the two of them through the alleys and twists and turns until they arrived at the gate of Prince Kang's Mansion.

Time spent..........

"Chen Dongyue!! Are you...ah?!" Ji Chongning didn't want to scold Chen Dongyue for being sick, but he still couldn't help asking: "Sister!! The road you took us is crooked, and it takes us more time than taking the main road.

I just want to ask one thing, what's the point?! What on earth do you want by leaving like this?!"

Prince Kang is almost suffering from heatstroke.

The pampered Crown Prince has not been so busy for a long, long time... no, since he was born.

Now I heard that Chen Dongyue was taking them on a detour.

A raging rage rose in the Crown Prince's chest.

He glared at Chen Dongyue.

Chen Dongyue fanned herself with the fan snatched from Ji Chongning, and said unhappily: "If I don't take you to walk along these paths, will you know that there is more than one way to the palace?!

If the King of Qi's men, or anyone else, really break in, you can fight them in street battles now that you know these small paths!

If you can’t even figure out the map of your own area, what’s the point of fighting?! You better…”

Chen Dongyue glanced at Prince Kang beside him.

Fortunately, she braked in time and almost said surrender as soon as possible.

"That's right." Ji Chongning's other advantages were not too obvious for the time being, but he was quick to admit his mistakes to Chen Dongyue. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood Director Chen."

"Director Chen is right." Prince Kang also seconded the proposal, but he could not hold on any longer. "Why don't we go in and talk? I..."

The prince was getting off his horse as he spoke.

But probably because he hadn't slept the whole night and had just been basking in the sun on the city wall for half a day, plus he hadn't eaten anything since midnight yesterday.

So when he got off the horse, the prince only felt a black screen before his eyes and then he lost consciousness.

But before he completely fainted, he seemed to hear a sentence vaguely, "Oh my god...it almost hit me."

Then came Ji Chongning's voice: "Chen Dongyue, no one can get close to you!"

Finally, there were noisy voices, shouting for someone to come quickly, and the prince fainted...

And then.......

The fainted prince was carried into the palace.

At this time, the palace was in chaos.

Everywhere were eunuchs, palace maids, servants and maids running around like headless flies.

"What's going on?" Chen Dongyue looked at the noisy crowd and asked softly as if talking to himself.

Ji Chongning, who was walking quickly towards the inner courtyard, replied, "I'm afraid the emperor has collapsed!"

"Ah?!" Chen Dongyue was also startled. "No way?! If something happens to the emperor, what will you do?!"

"Are you concerned about me?" Ji Chongning didn't stop walking, but he turned his head and smiled at Chen Dongyue.

Before Chen Dongyue could even utter the word "be careful", Ji Chongning was nearly tripped to death by a floor lamp in the palace garden.

"Look at the road!" Chen Dongyue said to Ji Chongning impatiently, "Where are we going?"

"I don't know," Ji Chongning answered straightforwardly, "but if I'm not mistaken, it should be there!"

Chen Dongyue looked up...

Okay.

A large, shiny coffin was parked at the gate of a courtyard.

No one knows whether the emperor is sleeping in the coffin or in the yard at this moment.

"Let's go," Ji Chongning urged Chen Dongyue, "Let's hear what my uncle and great grandmother are going to do next."

"Huh?!" Chen Dongyue gradually stopped.

She asked Ji Chongning, "Logically speaking, these are your family's private affairs, so why don't I stay out of it?"

Ji Chongning thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you wait for me by the coffin. I'll talk to the Empress Dowager and the others about it and then I'll tell you."

"Yes, or should I leave?" Chen Dongyue regretted it.

But Ji Chongning said: "Since I'm here~~~~"

Also.

Come here.

If you don't dare to eat the melon in one hand, you must always eat some of the melon in the other hand.

So Chen Dongyue nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside. If you have anything to say, just let me know after you've discussed it."

She... wants to eat this melon, but doesn't quite dare to.

This is really a very worrying melon.
