After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

Three days later, Han Zhou stood at the city gate with all the people of Dingxi County, watching Xia Che and three hundred carefully selected and urgently trained people walk out of the city gate.

At first glance, their heroic and high-spirited appearance really makes people feel that they can protect Xia Che while seeking justice from the kings, princes and generals of the Divine Capital.

After the line of figures completely disappeared from sight, Han Zhou protected Chen Luo, who was standing on the city wall and was reluctant to leave, and got on the carriage.

He washed his hands first, then handed the peeled nuts to Chen Luo: "I noticed that you didn't eat much for breakfast, so you should eat more to fill your stomach."

Chen Luo took a melon seed and took a bite: "Don't waste your time. I find it hard to digest it."

Han Zhou made some fruit tea for Chen Luo and said, "You are not as obedient as Xie Nanxing. When Xie Nanxing was in extremely poor health, he tried very hard to eat anything."

Speaking of Xie Nanxing, Han Zhou smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "I tell you, when Your Highness has taken control of the country, Xie Nanxing may come to the North. I will be able to see him from time to time in the future."

"The only bad thing is that Shen Jinmo is coming with us. I really don't like Shen Jinmo."

"I used to think I could fight him head-on, but now I owe him a lot and I can't even stand up straight in front of him."

Happiness can be shared. After listening to Han Zhou's words for a while, Chen Luo actually ate a little more.

"Azhou, if you can live with hatred and resentment, don't let the gratitude overwhelm you."

Chen Luo looked at Han Zhou, and in fact, it was no different from looking at her own brother: "All of us are doing this voluntarily, so don't worry about it."

“Hehehe.” Seeing Chen Luo stop, Han Zhou ate the remaining melon seeds by himself: “It’s okay, I’m still young, I should remember these favors, and I will repay them slowly in the rest of my life.”

"Don't worry, Your Highness has endured hardships for more than ten years, and you will surely return victorious."

The journey is long, and although we only have three hundred people with us, every time we pass a county, there will inevitably be many more people traveling with us.

Chen Luo naturally believed that Xia Che could control this situation, but Chen Luo was still afraid that the resentment of the mountains and rivers was too heavy and would burn Xia Che instead.

Although she was worried, Chen Luo still smiled at Han Zhou: "Thank you for your planning for His Highness. The army in the northern border is in turmoil now. You should go back earlier and don't let the army get into chaos."

Touching his head, Han Zhou smiled foolishly: "My sister will soon arrive in the northern border, and the army must be safe."

"Your Highness can only feel at ease when your safety is assured, so I will first select a few guards to protect you before returning to the North."

"Then I will go to the snowy mountains to find Cheng Yangqiu and A Ru for you. The next time we meet, I will bring the antidote with me."

Chen Luo nodded softly, her eyelids already looking a little tired.

"Don't worry. The country is not stable yet. Your Highness has not returned safely. I will live well."

The voice became weaker and weaker, and by the time she finished speaking, Chen Luo had already tilted her head and closed her eyes.

Xia Che was not by her side, so no one knew whether Chen Luo was asleep or fainted from the pain.

Shen Jun was locked up in the inner prison and was under strict surveillance by the imperial guards and secret guards.

Xia Xin was trapped in the deep palace, not to mention having anything to do with the government. Even if Zhong Yuanyuan wanted to see her, she couldn't do as she wished.

Xia Hong could rest assured and live his life as he pleased.

After waking up from a nap, Xia Hong felt even more energetic. He was in a good mood and took Zhong Yuanyuan to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow scene for a long time. He also picked a full basket of wintersweets by himself.

When they returned to the Golden Palace, it was time for Shen Jinmo to report to the emperor.

Unlike previous days, Shen Jinmo did not come alone today, Xun Xiang was standing beside him.

Just by looking at Xun Xiang's angry expression, Xia Hong knew that there was a disagreement between the two of them.

As for what the conflict was like, Xia Hong knew it clearly without even having to think about it.

Since the case concerned Zhong Yuanyuan's children, Xia Hong was rarely kind-hearted and did not force Zhong Yuanyuan to help him solve the case.

"Sister-in-law, please go back to the bedroom first. I will come back to have dinner with you later."

"If I hadn't come, my eldest sister-in-law would have called Xiaojiu to accompany me. Don't let me eat alone. I would feel bad."

Zhong Yuanyuan nodded: "Yes."

Whether Shen Jun was taken to the inner prison or Xia Xin was placed under house arrest because she broke into the inner prison with my whip, Zhong Yuanyuan did not say a word.

She stood calmly and composedly in the golden palace, watching the ever-changing situation in the world, waiting for the final outcome of the usurper.

Zhong Yuanyuan's obedience naturally made Xia Hong happy.

Now, no one dared to say or ask too much, and tried their best to pretend nothing happened and served him carefully, which made Xia Hong feel very happy.

My heart is my master. As the king of a country, I don’t need to accommodate anyone, nor do I need to explain to anyone.

There was no charcoal fire burning in the Golden Palace, and the wide-open door made the coldness biting.

Shen Jinmo was in good health so there was no problem. Xia Hong's strong heart made him even more addicted to the coolness, which was naturally comfortable.

But Xun Xiang, an elderly man, began to tremble after standing in the hall for a while.

"Xun Xiang is a rare guest. I wonder why he came today?"

Xun Xiang took a deep breath and tried to speak more fluently.

But when he inhaled this cold air, he started coughing and his face turned red.

Xia Hong thought Xun Xiang's embarrassed look, with his face as red as a monkey's butt, was very funny.

Naturally, he laughed out loud: "Hahaha, Xun Xiang, you should exercise more, otherwise with your body, you won't be able to hold on for a few more years."

He knelt on his knees, swallowed his saliva repeatedly to suppress the itch in his throat: "I have been disrespectful in front of the emperor, please punish me, His Majesty."

Xia Yang raised his hand and turned to look at Shen Jinmo with a doting look in his eyes: "Wang Heng, tell me, how did you make old man Xun Xiang unhappy again?"

"Are you going to rebel again?"

Xia Hong now makes fun of Shen Jinmo's rebellion all the time, which naturally means he doesn't believe that Shen Jinmo would rebel.

"The palace gate is already full of kneeling people. I ask you to release Marquis Wu'an and the princess from the palace."

"Many people have frozen to death in this period of time. Xun Xiang Bodhisattva has a kind heart and wants to come to the emperor to advise you."

Xia Hong knew the general situation, but as for the details, it was not that Shen Jinmo was suppressing it from being reported, but that he simply did not want to hear it.

The plan of holding the princess hostage to control Marquis Wu'an was proposed by Xun Zhan. Now that everything is going as usual, Xun Zhan has started to pretend to be a good guy.

His brows were slightly furrowed, revealing impatience: "What does Xun Xiang think about this?"
