Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

An Chen: "Okay, when we return to Beijing, the Qian family's affairs will basically be settled. If we can find Sun Mao and figure out what happened between the Third Brother and Concubine Hui, as well as the affairs of the court, we can let go and let our father handle it."

Xu Zhen: "Unconsciously, I have been here for two months. Every day feels like a war. Time flies by really fast."

An Chen gently embraced Xu Zhen and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, my princess."

Xu Zhen's face was slightly hot. She took advantage of the situation and leaned against the man's chest. Listening to the strong heartbeat, she felt that everything was worth it. Thinking of her parents again, she could comfort herself: "This is a tough task assigned by heaven. There is no bargaining. Let's make the best of it. Take care of yourselves, mom and dad. I hope your daughter will have the opportunity to bring your son-in-law back to see you."

An Chen: "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Zhen: "Nothing. Hey, Anchen, look, it seems like they are having a meeting."

An Chen: "This little bee has become a spirit. It knows that there is a meeting and it stops moving."

Xu Zhen: "Brother, if you don't understand, please don't talk nonsense. It's easy to make a fool of yourself. His program is set. Whenever he hears a sound, he will stop and wait for the next instruction."

An Chen suddenly realized: "It's really amazing, is this the computer program you mentioned?"

Xu Zhen: "Yes! Once the industry can create computers, it won't be far from computer programs."

An Chen: "I have only been to your place in my dreams and don't know much about it. It would be great if I had the chance to go there and experience it in person."

Xu Zhen: "If you go and can't come back, are you still willing?"

An Chen: "Anyone can survive. Now that things are settled here, I feel more at ease."

Xu Zhen: "I don't know if I came here to complete a mission. If so, I may have a chance to go back after completing the mission. Are you willing to go back with me then?"

An Chen: "The world is now settled, it doesn't matter whether I am here or not, of course I am willing to go back with you. Where are you? Where am I? You are my home!"

Xu Zhen was so touched after hearing this, "You are getting sweeter and sweeter."

An Chen: "You talk as if you've tasted it many times! And you're comparing it."

Xu Zhen gently twisted his waist. An Chen held the mischievous little hand and kissed it gently on his lips. "Mm, it's really sweet."

Xu Zhen: "Oh, you——. Let the little bees come back and listen to what they say!"

An Chen saw that the little woman was shy and stopped teasing her. After another little bee went down, the first one flew back. They turned on the sound and listened to several people talking.

One person said, "Sun Mao, Chou Ge and their people have been out for several days. We don't know what's going on outside. King Shuo asked us to wait for a letter from the capital. It's been almost a month. Why hasn't there been any letter yet?"

Another person: "Didn't they say they were discovered when they transported food from Dongfu City last time? Did the person who stayed in the cave go out and inform on the secret?"

Another person said: "How is it possible? If you don't take the antidote within seven days, you will become a fool. Besides, he is tied to a rock, without food or water, how can he get out?"

Another person said: "There are almost no soldiers in the capital. We have already sent 20,000 people. It is estimated that they have already taken over the capital and are dealing with the rest."

One person: "If that's the case, then we are useless soldiers. What use is there for our master to have us?"

Another person said: "You should use your brain. Even if we take the capital now and the border soldiers come back to rescue, what use will his 20,000 men be?"

Another person said: "It will take about a month for those soldiers to send the letter back and forth to Kyoto. Let's wait patiently, maybe the news is on the way."

Another person said: "I haven't seen my family for many years since I came here. I don't know what the situation is like outside now. The master promised to treat our family well. I hope they can feel better because of this!"

……

The two listened for a long time but didn't get the point. It was impossible for King Shuo to send his information during this period, and the people here would not leave for the time being. The two decided to go find Sun Mao and that ugly brother first.

Xu Zhen asked: "Where do you think they will go?"

An Chen: "We have been around Anguo for several times, but we haven't seen any trace of him. Are they still in this mountain?"

Xu Zhen: "They probably don't have many people with them. It's very dangerous in the mountains. What can they do here?"

An Chen: "If they are not in the mountains, could it be that they went to Dongyi? But what could they do there?"

Xu Zhen: "Sun Mao was brought up by General Sima. Do you think he will rebel?"

An Chen: "Empress Hui said that they were set up by Concubine Rong. But the second son saw Sun Mao dressed up as a eunuch in the palace and came out of Concubine Hui's palace. Without definite evidence, it's hard to say."

Xu Zhen: "Is it possible that he discovered some clues that the general was murdered, and took the opportunity to get close to the third prince and act as an undercover agent, hoping to take this opportunity to find evidence of General Sima's murder."

An Chen frowned and thought carefully: "It is indeed possible. I heard from my father that he treated Concubine Hui like his own sister, and there was no sign of any love between man and woman. Back then, General Sima sent Concubine Hui to the palace of her own accord. I heard from my father that if she had feelings for Sun Mao, General Sima would have agreed to let them be together."

Xu Zhen: "Did your father tell you about this?"

An Chen: "My father is more than ten years older than her, and he was afraid of wronging her, so he talked to General Sima about this. General Sima was a young general promoted by the previous emperor, and he had a very good relationship with my father. General Sima often went out to fight, and Concubine Hui seldom saw her father since she was a child, so she didn't like military generals. To borrow your words, my father was more of a homebody since he was a child, and he was also a famous handsome man in the capital. Concubine Hui liked to follow him since she was a child, and they developed a son-daughter relationship when they grew up. General Sima repeatedly asked for permission before my father agreed to marry her into the palace."

Xu Zhen: "No wonder he drugged the emperor. The emperor only banished him to the cold palace. Maybe it was to protect her. The two of them are in love, so why don't they have children?"

An Chen: "I did get pregnant once, but I heard that General Sima was seriously injured on the battlefield. She was so anxious that she accidentally fell and had a miscarriage. The imperial physician said that she was injured that time and would not be able to get pregnant again."

Xu Zhen: "She's a poor woman. I'll check her out when I get back. She looks like she's only in her 30s. I hope I can help her."

An Chen: "Don't take on too much work for now. You still have one important thing to do?"

Xu Zhen: "My big deal? What is it?"

An Chen pretended to be sad and said, "Look at me, have you forgotten me?"

Xu Zhen understood immediately and went forward to hug the injured little man. "How could I forget? Wasn't it you who arranged this? I'm right here, waiting for you to come and marry me in a sedan chair at any time."

An Chen kissed her on the forehead excitedly. Xu Zhen pushed him away and said, "You've led me astray again. Let's talk about Sun Mao. Where is Sun Mao? Stop interrupting me."
