A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

When Wang Baochuan walked on the street with her new lover, anyone who saw them would think they were just a couple with a slightly different age group. After all, not everyone had seen the empress dowager.

Today is the day when the army returns victoriously. Wei Bao is riding a horse, and following behind him are a group of captives who are being escorted to the capital, among whom are naturally Xue Pinggui and Dai Zhan.

Xue Pinggui kept regretting when he was being escorted in the car. He caught a glimpse of Wang Baochuan. Wang Baochuan was no longer as young as she was ten years ago, but she was still very beautiful. She even looked more noble because of years of luxury.

However, the first time Xue Pinggui saw her, he scolded her in his heart, saying that Wang Baochuan did not remain faithful to him and even married someone else. She was such a dissolute woman.

Wang Baochuan had no idea that the man she had been thinking about for many years was in a prison van not far away, and was even cursing her madly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, General Wei has returned victoriously. The Emperor will certainly hold a celebration banquet. I'm afraid it's time for you to return to the palace." Xiaolian was still following Wang Baochuan. When she saw the army returning, she hurriedly reminded Wang Baochuan.

"I know. Let's go back to the palace later. I still have to worry about the palace banquet. When will An'er get married? I'm really too tired to take care of these things," Wang Baochuan complained.

In her life, except for the hard times she lived after marrying Xue Pinggui, she had never suffered any hardship. However, she did not expect that after the emperor died, she would become the empress dowager and have to manage the palace affairs, which was much harder than when she was a daughter.

Wang Baochuan returned to the palace with full of resentment. Xue An knew about it and just smiled: "Xiao Quanzi, take people to help the Queen Mother, so that she won't be tired."

Xue An is undoubtedly a filial son towards Wang Baochuan, but when he learned that Wei Bao had captured Xue Pinggui and Dai Zhan alive, he felt complicated. He was worried that Wang Baochuan would be upset, and even more afraid that Wang Baochuan would stab him in the back.

However, Xue An didn't know that he was completely redundant. In the eyes of most women, a husband is not as good as a son. Although Wang Baochuan was love-brained when she was young, she could still distinguish this.

Although Xue Pinggui and Dai Zhan were brought back as captives, they were still dressed up and brought out in a respectable manner at the celebration banquet to attend the banquet as "guests".

"General Wei is my most trusted and loyal minister. I would like to offer a toast to General Wei." Xue An raised his glass, and Wei Bao also raised his glass quickly.

"I was able to win this victory thanks to Your Majesty. I respect Your Majesty."

The emperor and his subjects got along well with each other and were in great harmony, but Xue Pinggui and Dai Zhan were not in such a good mood. Xue Pinggui stared at Wang Baochuan who was at the top. He couldn't understand how Wang Baochuan became the eldest prince's consort after marrying him.

When Dai Zhan saw Xue Pinggui's expression, she thought about her own trip and felt that it was not worth it for herself. Why should she give up the throne and become the queen of this man?

The couple had different thoughts and did not notice the strange look in the emperor's eyes. "King of Xiliang, Queen, I would like to toast you two and thank you for handing over the territory of Xiliang to me."

The court officials below listened to their emperor's speech and tried hard to hold back their laughter. Even Wang Yun secretly lamented the narrow-mindedness of his own emperor.

Xue Pinggui felt humiliated, and thinking that Wang Baochuan was his original wife, he didn't know where he got the courage from, but he spoke boldly.

"As I recall, the Queen Mother was the daughter of the Prime Minister. She married a poor boy back then. How come she has suddenly become the Queen Mother?"

Xue Pinggui's speech caused many ministers to laugh at him. They were not laughing at Wang Baochuan but at Xue Pinggui. The kind-hearted Wei Bao said, "The King of Xiliang is well-informed. How come the King of Xiliang doesn't know that the poor boy that the Queen Mother married was the eldest prince of the previous emperor who was exiled to the countryside?"

"Second brother, the King of Xiliang has lived in Xiliang for a long time, how could he know the affairs of our Tang Dynasty?" Wei Hu seemed to be trying to excuse Xue Pinggui, but he was more malicious: "Speaking of which, the King of Xiliang is actually a citizen of our Tang Dynasty."

"Brother, what you said is not right. Now the King and Queen of Xiliang have fallen into the hands of our Tang Dynasty. Soon Xiliang will also be part of our Tang Dynasty. So, isn't the King of Xiliang still a citizen of our Tang Dynasty?"

Everyone in the court, whether they knew Xue Pinggui or not, laughed, obviously agreeing with Wei Bao's statement. As for your saying that Xue Pinggui is the emperor's biological father, don't talk nonsense, the eldest prince died a long time ago, okay?

Xue Pinggui was repeatedly humiliated and had to shut up. Dai Zhan became even angrier when seeing Xue Pinggui being so cowardly. However, she also understood that she had to bow her head when she was under someone's roof, so she remained silent.

Xue An had no intention of continuing to embarrass the two of them, as he had a more interesting idea.

After the banquet, Xue Pinggui and Dai Zhan were taken to a palace far away from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager and imprisoned. Although they had servants serving them, they had lost their freedom.

In order to prevent the two from escaping by relying on their martial arts, they were both given medicine to abolish their martial arts. Xue Pinggui felt very uncomfortable living like a disabled person, and everyone cursed him.

Those vulgar words made Dai Zhan realize how vulgar the man he fell in love with was. Soon, because of Xue Pinggui's shouting and cursing, he was taken away.

Dai Zhan was not worried about him. Instead, he felt relieved. Finally, he didn't have to stay in the same room with Xue Pinggui. At this time, the person arranged by Xue An came into Dai Zhan's sight.

This person is a lady-in-waiting in the palace, responsible for taking care of Dai Zhan's food and drink. She often gives Dai Zhan some advice, overtly or covertly. When she sees that Dai Zhan is moved, she dismisses everyone and kneels in front of Dai Zhan.

"Princess, I am a chess piece planted by the late king in the Tang Dynasty. Don't worry, I will take you back." These words comforted Dai Zhan's long-wounded heart.

At the same time, a woman who was good at instigating things appeared beside Xue Pinggui, claiming to be the sister of the late emperor's concubine Liu. Yes, this person was Concubine Shu.

"My child, you have suffered a lot. Don't worry, the throne of the Tang Dynasty should have been yours. You are the son of Concubine Liu and the eldest prince of the late emperor."

Xue Pinggui had seen Concubine Liu's portrait. Looking at this woman who looked similar to Concubine Liu, he had already believed her to about 70%. When he learned that the other party could persuade General Liu to take him away, he believed it immediately.

It's not that Xue Pinggui and Dai Zhan are stupid, but they have been tortured and their easy life in the palace has worn down their character, so they are naturally easy to deceive.

Under the deception of the female official, Dai Zhan wrote a letter for help and handed it to the female official. Xue An then sent someone to deliver the letter to the border. Ling Xiao received Dai Zhan's letter and learned that Dai Zhan and Xue Pinggui were captured. He tried his best to save them.

The young prince had been relieved of his duties for some time. He was so fascinated by the feeling of power that he no longer wanted his parents to return.
