Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

But the emperor's hand holding the letter began to tremble, and his expression was very excited.

Suddenly, Zhou Hong stood up, then sat back down.

"Father?" Seeing his father so excited and out of control, Zhou Jian called out in a low voice with concern.

"Zhou Jian, you must lead the imperial guards and rush to Qucheng immediately. Go right away." Zhou Hong placed the letter in his hand on the table and ordered the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" a minister asked anxiously.

Zhou Hong ignored them and continued to look at the eldest prince Zhou Tong. "The people arranged by Yan State to send Xun Fei and the others back are already on the way. Go pick them up quickly."

Huh? No way?

In the hall, most people were skeptical and couldn't believe it was true.

"Your Majesty, this matter requires long-term consideration. Don't act rashly."

"That's right, Your Majesty. It would be the same if someone else went to pick him up." Some ministers began to speak in panic to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, since the letter has been delivered, I will take my leave now." The messenger spoke without paying any attention to the voices around him.

After hearing this, Zhou Hong hesitated for a moment and then ordered Zhou Zhi to send it off.

Without trying to persuade him to stay or saying any words of thanks, Zhou Jian also left the hall.

"Your Majesty, what if this is a conspiracy by the Yan people? It will be dangerous for the eldest prince to go there." Another minister spoke with great concern.

Zhou Hong leaned back and picked up the letter again. "Conspiracy? At this point, do you think that if Yan State really wants to do something to Xi Xiang, there is still a need for conspiracy?"

After saying this, he waved his hand, signaling to leave the court.

After hearing what the emperor just said, all the ministers fell silent. Yes, your majesty said the truth!

After the ministers left the palace, Zhou Hong stared at the letter in his hand. The content of the letter was very concise. It only said to send the children back and let this side go to welcome them. There was nothing else. How could the people of Yan country be so capable? "Your Majesty, are you also worried that there is a problem?" Eunuch Chen asked in a low voice. Zhou Hong shook his head; "You should also leave. I want to be alone." Eunuch Chen withdrew in response and carefully closed the palace door. Not long after, Queen Shangguan Xia learned the news and hurried over.

Eunuch Chen hurried forward and told him that the emperor wanted to be alone for a while.

Shangguan Xia grabbed Eunuch Chen's arm and said, "What they said is true. Did the people of Yan really send the princes back?"

"To reply to the Queen, it should be. The letter was written by Your Majesty himself, and I have not seen its contents." Eunuch Chen reported truthfully.

Shangguan Xia heard this and looked at the closed palace door. After hesitating for a long time, she did not go forward or leave, but just stood there.

She was only sure of one thing, that is, the children would not suffer and would be safe in Yan Kingdom with the care of the first-rank lady.

I originally thought that after my husband figured it out, I would arrange an embassy to go to Yan State to express my gratitude and sincerity.

Then we have to wait at least another year or two until the relations between the two countries have really eased and stabilized before we can discuss the issue of the children.

But, unexpectedly, Yan Guo would send all those children back now.

"Empress, how about we wait in the side hall? It's cold outside." Eunuch Chen asked tentatively.

"No need. I'm going back now." Shangguan Xia said, then looked towards the palace door again and turned to leave.

The palace maids waiting not far away, as well as Concubine Yu and others also followed them back.

Soon, the queen's bedroom was packed with people.

The concubines, noble ladies, and several princes' wives from various palaces all rushed over after hearing the news.

A few days later, Zhou Jian finally arrived in the capital with thirty-seven royal children.

As soon as they entered the palace, the children in the carriage opened the curtains and saw their queen mother and concubines who had been waiting there. They immediately got off the carriage and ran towards their mothers.

For a moment, the younger ones didn't even bother to greet each other, and the adults frantically looked for their children, who were hugged and crying.

The youngest, Lian'er, was originally sleeping in Xun Fei's arms. She was awakened by the crying and started to cry loudly. The Third Princess took her child in her arms and saw that the child's face was fatter than when she left. She was so happy that she shed tears and comforted the child softly.

"Okay, the children are back safely. It's a happy thing. Don't cry. Go back and wash up, then go see His Majesty and the Queen Mother." Shangguan Xia wiped away her tears and led the way.

After she said that, the others realized their misbehavior and quickly took their children and hurried to the thin hall to wash up.

Less than half an hour later, the thirty-seven children who had returned, washed and dressed, gathered in the queen's bedroom, and then went to see Zhou Hong together.

Looking at the children in front of him, Zhou Hong finally felt at ease.

Looking at the children's rosy and energetic faces, Zhou Hong was finally able to confirm that what Xun Ying had said before was not exaggerated or untrue.

The people of Yan are indeed good to these children.

Zhou Hong looked at each child carefully, and except for Xun Ying, all of them had really returned.

Zhou Hong has been thinking a lot these days. He really didn't expect that as a king, he would be so nervous about these children for the first time in his life.

When he saw the children, Zhou Hong suddenly felt that he was like an ordinary father in an ordinary family.

In my heart, eyes and mind, I think of these children, not the weak country.

"Father, I want to grow up quickly. Please find me a great master. I want to practice martial arts like my ninth brother and protect my Xi Xiang." In the silent palace, Xun Qing opened the

"Father, I am your son."

"I, too, want to be a great general when I grow up, a great general who can fight enemies in the battlefield." With Xun Qing taking the lead, the other children followed suit.

"Ahem." Shangguan Xia coughed softly, trying to remind the children not to lose their composure.

But it didn't work.

"Okay, father is waiting for you to grow up." Zhou Hong responded with a smile, his nose sore.

"Hmph? Grandfather, you don't seem as fierce as before." A soft voice sounded. It was Zhou Lingxiao, the youngest daughter of the eldest prince Zhou Jian.

When the eldest prince's wife heard this, she looked at Zhou Hong nervously. Fortunately, His Majesty did not show any signs of being angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Hong naturally stood up and blamed himself after hearing this. It turned out that in the eyes of the children, he was a very fierce person!

Because they received the news that Jinwu Guangjing would arrive, no matter whether it was the emperor or the empress, they didn't have time to eat lunch. How could they eat without seeing the child return safely? So, they didn't even have lunch.

Zhou Hong personally ordered a banquet to welcome the children.

During the meal, Zhou Hong noticed that several children were whispering something.

"Xiaojiu, what are you talking about?" Zhou Hong asked curiously...
