Crossing the World: This Prince is a Little Sweet

"How many people are there in the Imperial City's Royal Guards?"

"There are about 6000 people."

"Does this include your Yiyue clan?"

"It's all there, your highness."

Yi Yue Liuyun nodded solemnly, because the public security of the imperial city and the management of the royal guards were all the responsibility of their Yi Yue clan, and the queen could not trust anyone else at all.

When Chu Xi heard the number, he kept a stern face and said nothing, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. The way he looked thoughtful was somewhat similar to Yan Jingshuo.

"How many days will it take for this army to reach the foot of the Imperial City?"

"It's estimated to take two days."

"Brother Liuyun, do you have a way to obtain the letters between Prince Jing and General Ye?"

"This... is a little difficult, but you can give it a try."

Yi Yue Liuyun hesitated for a while before responding.

"Okay, Brother Liuyun, come closer..."

Chu Xi stood up and waved to Yi Yue Liuyun, then whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Yi Yue Liu Yun immediately responded, "Understood, I will do it right away."

After Yi Yue Liuyun finished speaking, he turned and walked out, and Chu Xi quickly stopped him.

"Brother Liuyun, wait a minute, is Nangong Yu back?"

Yi Yue Liu Yun stopped and shook his head: "No"

"Then do you know where he went?"

Seeing that there was no news from Nangong Yu, Chu Xi's eyes darkened a little. It had been so long, and there was still no news at all, and he didn't even write her a letter or anything? Could something have happened to him?

A hint of worry flashed across Chu Xi's eyes.

Seeing Chu Xi care so much about Nangong Yu, Yi Yue Liuyun couldn't help but envy Nangong Yu. Putting aside her royal identity, Chu Xi has a gentle personality, treats people kindly, and most importantly, is knowledgeable, brave and resourceful. She is a rare and extraordinary woman.

He believed that the royal family would prosper in her hands and lead the people of Yunyuan Continent to a better life.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Nangong is out with Grandpa to gain experience. With Grandpa here, he will be fine."

Yi Yue Liuyun stopped, turned around and spoke softly.

"I hope so. Did he tell you when he will be back?"

Chu Xi curled his lips, his tone sounding a little disappointed.

"No, but I heard from my grandfather that they are going to the Snow Mountain and the Fantasy Mist Forest." Yi Yue Liuyun shook his head.

"Going to such a dangerous place?"

"They all have martial arts skills, so there shouldn't be any big problems. Please relax, Your Highness."

"Okay, if there is any news about him, please let me know, Brother Liuyun."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will." Seeing that Chu Xi didn't say anything, Yi Yue Liuyun bowed and turned to leave.

After Huang Xiaoya visited Chu Xi, she went straight back to the palace and told her mother, Princess Jing, that Chu Xi had really caught a cold.

"Yaer, did you really see her?" Huang Jing excitedly stood up from the chair and walked in front of Huang Xiaoya.

"It's true. I saw her sick with my own eyes. It didn't look like she was pretending at all."

Huang Xiaoya nodded with certainty. She felt that she was definitely not seeing things. She also noticed that there was a medicine bowl beside Chu Xi's bed. It must be that he had just finished drinking the medicine and the palace maid had not had time to take the bowl away.

"Hahaha... God is really helping me."

After receiving a positive answer, Huang Jing burst into laughter, and then her eyes gradually became fierce: "Humph... Huang Jie, I wonder what you can use to fight me this time? Your position will belong to me sooner or later."

"Mother, what should we do next?"

When Huang Xiaoya saw her mother so happy, she became happy too.

"The next step is to wait for that little girl to pass away, and then we will..."

Huang Jing smiled and whispered her plan to Huang Xiaoya.

After hearing this, Huang Xiaoya’s eyes widened in shock.

"Mother, do we really want to be like this?"

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Besides, there is nothing wrong with this. Who doesn't want to be the most noble woman in the world? Xiaoya, after this is done, you will be the most noble princess in the world. No one can compare to you."

Huang Jing's words immediately eliminated the hesitation in Huang Xiaoya's heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"The child wishes his mother a successful start and a successful climb to the top in advance."

"Haha...good...Ya'er, you are really my good daughter."

Huang Jing patted Huang Xiaoya's shoulder with satisfaction, her face full of excitement.

Time passed quickly, and some people in the court began to feel unable to contain their desire to make moves.

Many people received news that their eldest grandson, who had just returned to the court, was not suffering from a cold, but an incurable disease.

Seeing Chu Xi, who had not attended court for ten days, the ministers in the court began to look at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

Huang Lan dragged his exhausted body and slowly sat on the throne with the help of his aunt.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you. Long live Your Majesty."

All the ministers knelt down and saluted Huang Lan.

"My dear ministers, please stand up..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

Huang Lan shouted in a dignified voice, then raised his hand to rub his aching brow, and said to the ministers in the hall with a tired look and a little undetectable sharpness, "My dear ministers, do you have anything to say? If not, please leave."

The ministers below looked at each other, and no one dared to speak first. In the end, it was the prime minister who spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report..."

"Xiao Aiqing, you said..."

"It's just that I haven't seen His Royal Highness Changsun attend court for dozens of days. As the crown prince, His Royal Highness may be too lazy in this regard."

Prime Minister Xiao has been an official in the court for twenty years. He is an upright person and usually reports directly if there is anything wrong.

Huang Lan also loves and hates her. He loves her outspokenness, integrity, and thriftiness. But sometimes he hates her straightforwardness, her lack of respect for others, even though she is the emperor, and she is ruthless in pointing out things in front of all the ministers without any euphemism.

Prime Minister Xiao had been in office for many years and had never asked for leave to attend court. Even when she was seriously ill, she would still go to court despite the illness. So what she hated most was others being lazy.

Chu Xi hadn't attended court for ten days, so she thought it was a kind of laziness and not the behavior a gentleman should have.

"What Xiao Aiqing said is absolutely right. As a noble lady, Xi'er shouldn't be lazy, but she...sigh..."

Huang Lan responded to Prime Minister Xiao's words, but she couldn't help but sigh halfway through her words.

"But what happened to His Royal Highness Chang Sun?"

When Prime Minister Xiao saw that Huang Lan hesitated to speak, he felt something was wrong.

"She caught a cold a few days ago, but her cold has become more severe for some reason. She has been taking medicine for so many days but it has not been effective. The imperial physician doesn't know what's going on."

Huang Lan's face was full of worry when he said this, but his eyes were always looking at Huang Jing who was standing upright below. He saw that she was looking at her nose and her nose was looking at her heart, her face was calm and there was no trace of worry on her face. If you look more carefully, you can find a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
