The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists

After hearing the news, Karl Lagerfeld felt a lot better.

Before this, she received the second letter from Jingyan and Qing'er, and learned that Fu Erkang was going to assassinate the emperor for his own selfish interests. She was so angry that she fell ill.

After she recovered from her illness, the Queen Mother planned to directly blame Fu Lun, but the Queen stopped her.

Since the Queen figured it out, she has been much calmer and more composed than before. When she learned that the Empress Dowager was sick because of this incident, she not only took care of him personally by his bedside every day, but also gave him a lot of advice.

The Queen's suggestion was that this matter was of great importance. Jingyan also wrote in the letter that the Emperor would punish severely, and that everything should be done after the Emperor returned to Beijing. If the Emperor softened his heart by then, it would not be too late for the Empress Dowager to punish him.

So, the Empress Dowager held her anger in for a full half month, and finally, she received the news that the emperor had put Falcon in death row.

Hearing that Fulun had secretly gone to the prison to see Falcon at night, the old man sneered: "Let him see him and leave evidence. When the emperor returns, we should have a good talk with him."

They were in such a hurry on the journey that Ziwei's wound didn't heal until she returned to Beijing.

However, everyone finally returned to the capital at the beginning of the month.

The first thing to do after arriving in the capital was to settle Anna. Originally, Jingyan wanted to bring Anna directly into the palace, but Anna was embarrassed to disturb him, mainly because she was afraid that there were too many rules in the palace and it would cause trouble for Jingyan.

So, Benjamin took over the task of settling Anna, and personally went to help her rent a small courtyard in the city. He also volunteered to send her there personally, and only returned to the palace after everything was settled.

As long as Jingyan is done with his work, he can leave the palace to play with Anna.

As for Cai Lian, after observing coldly along the way, Cai Lian had already figured out the relationship between several people, so she often tried to make her presence felt when Xiao Yanzi and Yong Qi were having a quarrel.

In addition, she is indeed hardworking, careful and understanding of "Qi", which creates a huge contrast with Xiaoyanzi.

After enjoying Cai Lian's caring care along the way, Yongqi had already accepted her in his heart and was planning to take her back.

Such a thoughtful girl, whether serving Concubine Yu or serving him, is a good choice, and it is better than driving the girl out to fend for herself.

With this idea in mind, Yongqi reported the matter to the emperor.

The emperor had previously promised Yongqi to take her with him, so he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for a weak woman now.

There is just one thing, which is that Yongqi must find the other person's relatives carefully, and also to let him find out Cai Lian's background.

Although Yongqi was a bit reckless, he still valued his life very much. Since he decided to take Cailian with him, he has thoroughly investigated everyone.

From the results of the investigation, it was found that Cai Lian was indeed just an ordinary farmer's daughter, and Yongqi was relieved.

But Cai Lian is a little special, so she can only be taught the rules after entering Yonghe Palace.

Cai Lian herself did not expect that the palace would be so easy to enter. She managed to get in just by pretending to be well behaved.

In the future, I will be in the same palace with Yongqi and see him every day, so there will naturally be plenty of opportunities.

Mongolian Prince Qikel also arrived in the capital and took Seya to stay at the post station in the capital.

The scene of the emperor's return to the palace was even more grand than the day when the Empress Dowager returned to the palace.

The Queen, along with the princes' families and concubines, welcomed them at the Qianqing Gate.

Jingyan followed behind the emperor, listening to the civil and military officials shouting "Long live the emperor", but his mood was different from when he first arrived.

Having experienced so many things along the way, Jingyan felt a sense of familiarity when looking at the imperial palace he had not seen for a long time.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work on the journey." The Queen bowed slightly.

The emperor smiled faintly, "Queen, while I'm away, is everything alright in the palace? I've thanked you for taking care of it."

"Everything is fine in the palace. This is all my duty. It's not hard."

Jingyan couldn't bear to see the awkward and unfamiliar look between the royal couple, so he stuck half of his head out from behind the emperor.

"Auntie, I see you've lost weight. It's obvious you've been working very hard. Uncle must make it up to you."

The emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then he looked at the queen carefully again: "Yes, you have lost weight, it is time to give her some nourishment."

The Queen didn't respond, but looked at Jing Yan: "Auntie, I see that our Yan'er has lost weight. Is he tired after rushing all the way back?"

Hearing the Queen say that she was thin, Jingyan grinned happily. Hehe, it’s good to be thinner. Jingyan wished she could be thinner and have a melon-seed face.

Qing'er knew what Jingyan was thinking at a glance and smiled with pursed lips.

This time, Concubine Ling rarely came to the emperor to show her concern for him. The real reason was that she was still worried about Erkang.

A few days ago, Mrs. Fujin of the Fujin family came to the palace and told her everything.

Concubine Ling was really shocked by the boldness of the Fu family.

And the girl Ziwei in front of him, he didn’t expect that she was actually the emperor’s biological daughter.

Concubine Ling soon realized that if this matter was exposed, it would not only affect the Fu family, but also herself who had wholeheartedly recognized Xiaoyanzi!

But Fu Erkang is her nephew after all, and as his aunt, she can't just ignore him. Because of this, Concubine Ling has been worried and hasn't been able to sleep well for several days.

Visibly haggard.

The Empress Dowager did not come to the gate of the Qianqing Palace to greet the emperor and others. She chatted with the Empress and Concubine Yu for a while, and then the emperor led everyone to the Cining Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

In the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager was waiting in the hall early.

Seeing the emperor coming in, the Empress Dowager, who had been waiting anxiously, finally smiled and stood up to greet him.

"Mother, my son is back."

When the emperor saw the old lady stand up, he took two quick steps to support her.

The Empress Dowager looked at the Emperor carefully and asked, "Emperor, how are you? I heard you faced many dangers along the way. Fortunately, you finally returned home safely. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

The emperor smiled and said, "Thanks to the great blessing of the Empress Dowager, I have had no danger along the way. Fortunately, the children I brought with me are all highly skilled in martial arts and have been of great help to me."

The emperor looked at Fu Ling, An Yongheng and others with a smile. The old Buddha naturally knew what had happened along the way, and also smiled and praised them.

"It is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty to have young people like you."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is all my duty."

Several younger generations respectfully paid their respects to the old lady. The old lady held Jingyan in one hand and Qing'er in the other.

Seeing that her two darlings had lost weight, the old lady's eyes were filled with sorrow.

But now is not the time to talk. The exact situation between Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi needs to be discussed in detail.

It’s a pity that the emperor didn’t give the Empress Dowager a chance.

The emperor knew that as soon as everyone left, Jingyan and Qing'er, the two old Buddhas' gossip girls, would immediately tell her about the southern tour.

So the emperor decided to speak for himself.

But now the Mongolian prince Qiker has arrived in Beijing, and the emperor will hold a banquet to welcome the Mongolian prince tomorrow. Dealing with Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi at this juncture will only make others laugh at him.

The emperor then ordered, "Take Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei back to Shufangzhai and place them under house arrest, awaiting their fate. Yongqi, you too, will be placed under house arrest in Yonghe Palace. You are not allowed to come out for the next few days."
