The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

As the imperial physician in the Southern Kingdom's palace, Song Que was naturally familiar with Akang, the Southern Emperor's personal guard.

When they were young, the relationship between them was very good.

More than twenty years have passed since Song Que left the palace.

However, Song Que still remembers Akang's appearance vividly.

At this moment, Song Que's eyes couldn't help but become slightly moist.

"Akang?" He couldn't help but call out softly.

Akang is the most loyal personal guard of the Southern Emperor and the person he trusts the most.

"The Southern Emperor..."

Song Que suddenly realized that something was wrong. How could Akang leave Nan Di for so long?

Akang didn't say anything for a long time.

Finding Song Que was the difficult task given to him by the Southern Emperor. He was very happy when he found him, but he didn't know how to tell Song Que about the Southern Emperor's situation.

This time when he left the Southern Kingdom, he was afraid that he would never see the Southern Emperor again in this life, and the Southern Emperor would not let him go back.

How should I tell this to Song Que?

And there were so many other strangers around, so Akang had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

"Divine Doctor Song!" Like most people in the Southern Country, Akang also called Song Que "Divine Doctor Song".

"Dr. Song, can I have a chat with you alone?"

Song Que looked at Chu Tiancheng and introduced:

"This is Akang, a friend of mine from my youth. Can we talk alone?"

Chu Tiancheng nodded, and He Fugui immediately took them to another quiet private room.

After they left, Zuo Qingyun asked Chu Tiancheng, "Prince, you should know this Akang, right?"

Chu Tiancheng pondered for a moment, looked at Liu Yunfeng and Han Yijian, and the two left tactfully.

Only Chu Tiancheng and Zuo Qingyun were left in the room.

After a while, Chu Tiancheng looked at Zuo Qingyun and slowly said, "This Akang is the most trusted personal guard of the Southern Emperor. He has been with the Southern Emperor for decades."

After a pause, he continued:

“It seems that the news that Nandi is critically ill is true.

The Southern Emperor sent Akang to the imperial capital, probably to give him instructions on his affairs after his death.

I don't know why he came to find Dr. Song, but I think his coming may have something to do with you."

Zuo Qingyun was shocked when he heard this.

He knew that Chu Tiancheng knew the mystery of his life experience, but he just kept it to himself.

He never asked because Chu Tiancheng would definitely follow his master's orders and would not tell anyone unless the time was right.

Could it be that the opportunity Chu Tiancheng has been waiting for has arrived?

Another private room.

Akang took out the mysterious and exquisite iron box.

"Dr. Song, the emperor asked me to give this to you."

Song Que had never seen this iron box before. He took it and asked, "What else does the emperor want me to do?"

Ah Kang shook his head. "The emperor didn't say anything. You should know once you open it."

"Yeah." Song Que held the iron box in his hand, a little hesitant.

He could probably guess what was in the iron box, but he had not yet found Concubine Shu's son, the little prince of the Southern Kingdom who was living abroad.

He guessed that this iron box should be the one that the Southern Emperor asked him to pass on to the little prince.

After a while, he made up his mind and said to Akang:

"I understand what the emperor means. I will accept this iron box, but I will not open it for the time being.

It should belong to its owner. When I find him, I can give it to him to open. "

Akang nodded. His task was to hand the iron box to Song Que. As for how Song Que dealt with it, it was not his business.

"Now that the mission is completed, will you return to the Southern Kingdom?" Song Que asked.

A Kang was speechless for a moment, and then he choked up, "The emperor said that after I complete this mission, I don't have to go back."

Song Que was shocked. "Is the emperor really powerless to save the situation?"

A Kang said helplessly: "The emperor should have some sense of his own body. Otherwise he wouldn't have said something like asking me to leave."

"Then where are you going?"

"I didn't think about it."

Song Que paused and said, "Don't leave yet. I'll go ask King Yan for instructions."

Song Que returned to the private room and reported to Chu Tiancheng.

He suggested that Chu Tiancheng keep Akang and elaborated on his reasons:

“Akang is loyal to the Southern Emperor and knows the situation in the Southern Kingdom very well.

Such talents will definitely be of great use to you, Your Majesty, in the future.

It would be a pity to let him go like this.

I think Your Majesty should keep him here!"

After hearing this, Chu Tiancheng began to think in his heart.

He understood that Akang was indeed a rare talent, but at the same time he was also worried that keeping Akang might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Chu Tiancheng looked at Zuo Qingyun, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he finally made a decision and nodded.

Then he asked Yan Yi to arrange for Akang and Song Que to live together in Prince Yan's Mansion.

Song Que did not mention anything about the iron box, but mentioned that he was looking for Shufei's son.

Chu Tiancheng and Zuo Qingyun looked at each other, and no one responded.

Song Que continued, "Please help me find the child from that year, Your Majesty."

"I will arrange someone to help you find it." Chu Tiancheng replied calmly.

Song Que and Akang returned to the palace together.

Chu Tiancheng and Zuo Qingyun still sat there without moving or speaking, each of them lost in thought.

After a long while, Chu Tiancheng said, "You are the child that Divine Doctor Song is looking for."

Zuo Qingyun did not seem particularly surprised.

Since he was a child, he has been secretly investigating his life experience, and he has found out some things more or less. Combined with his own analysis and speculation, he has noticed Concubine Shu a long time ago.

That gentle, beautiful but ill-fated woman was indeed her own mother.

Then doesn’t he have to be... Zuo Qingyun suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

He looked up at Chu Tiancheng, "Prince, have you always known this?"

Chu Tiancheng nodded without hesitation.

"I am the prince of an enemy country. Why do you still treat me as a brother?"

Zuo Qingyun's eyes turned red at some point.

Chu Tiancheng smiled calmly, "We have been brothers since we were young. When we were on Tianchi Mountain, who knew what a prince was? There, we were just brothers."

Zuo Qingyun thought back to his master. No wonder his master always said to them every time he saw them, "You two must be good brothers for life."

Zuo Qingyun's tears finally couldn't stop flowing.

"I am not a prince, I am just an orphan. I was adopted by my master and have a master and fellow apprentices. I don't have parents."

Chu Tiancheng patted Zuo Qingyun on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Qingyun, what is coming will eventually come. The burden you have to bear is not light, but what is yours is yours.

This is your responsibility and your destiny. You can’t avoid it.”

At this time, Yan Yi knocked on the door and came in, "Master, there is news about Gu Yidao."
