The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Cang Xu was secretly delighted, thinking Yun Qing was a good kid who listened to advice! But he was too happy too early.

Yun Qing added, "Prepare a carriage for me. I want to rush back to Yongkang immediately!" His voice was firm and he did not allow Cang Xu to refute.

Cang Xu's face cracked a little bit, he looked towards a corner helplessly, only to see Cang Nan walking out from the corner with a cold face.

Cangnan came to Yunqing and bowed, saying, "I'll go find a carriage right away!" After that, he turned and left without even looking at Cangxu.

Yun Qing's anxious heart finally calmed down. Fortunately, there was a Cangnan who was obedient. This was what a secret guard should be like.

Cang Xu: “……!”

Haha! Isn't he doing this for the young master's own good? Fine, fine! He's just wasting his time! Humph! He's just annoying everyone for nothing!

Cangnan worked quickly, and in just half an hour he had brought a carriage. The carriage was old, but the horse was a strong one, very strong and fast.

In the speeding carriage, Yun Qing sat in the carriage, Cang Nan was driving outside, and Cang Xu also sat in the carriage with a thick face.

The carriage sped along the country road, kicking up clouds of dust. Yun Qing's face was as pale as paper, and he leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage. Even a normal person wouldn't be able to withstand such a bumpy ride, let alone the seriously injured Yun Qing.

"Young master, if you can't bear it anymore, let's stop and rest for a while!" Cang Xu couldn't bear it anymore. His butt was so painful that his bones were broken.

"Cangnan...faster..." Yun Qing frowned, sweat pouring down his face, wetting the hair on his forehead.

"Oh my! My little ancestor, if we go any faster, this car will fly. Besides, even if we go faster, we won't be able to reach Yongkang immediately."

Yun Qing closed his eyes and didn't want to say a word to Cang Xu. He always had a bad premonition that Nuan Nuan was getting further and further away from him!

After getting on the carriage, he asked Cangnan and found out that the village where he stayed last night was called Tianshu Village, which was the closest village to Qingle County. After passing Qingle County and crossing a mountain, it was the border of Southern Yan.

Yun Qing closed his eyes and thought, could it be that Jiuyou had taken his little girl to Southern Yan? If they really entered the border of Southern Yan, it would be troublesome.

"Young master? Young master?..." Cang Xu was afraid that Yun Qing would faint, so he called out from time to time.

"Shut up... Don't call me young master anymore!" Yun Qing really couldn't stand Cang Xu's chatter.

"What's your name then? How about calling you Young Master?"

Young Master? This title sounded even more awkward. He thought of the "Young Master" in Fuzhou, the current Queen's biological son. Every time he thought of him, he felt strange. If they hadn't exchanged back then, what kind of life would they be living now?

"You've been away from the capital for so many years. What have you been doing? I don't want to investigate for the time being. I'm just asking you, do you know anything about the young master of Xiaoyue Villa in Fuzhou?"

Mentioning Fuzhou Xiaoyue Villa, Cang Xu suddenly perked up: "That fake prince? Hahaha, we know this matter very well. What's more, we were participants back then!"

Yun Qing narrowed her eyes, not wanting to look at Cang Xu's smug face. "You guys were involved too? How did you get involved? Wasn't it Feng Zhishang who sent him out of the palace back then?"

"Of course it's like that on the surface. That weakling Feng Zhishang might be killed before he even leaves the palace. The four of us naturally have to clear the obstacles for him behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could he possibly reach Jiangzhou smoothly?"

Yun Qing was stunned! He felt that this matter was becoming more and more complicated: "Is this the task my father gave you?"

"That's not the case!" Cang Xu scratched his head. "How could you have known that when His Highness left, it was a devastating disaster for the entire court! The crown prince position was vacant, and the princes' fight for the throne was unprecedentedly cruel. The other princes saw hope and were eager to try.

The people who supported Crown Prince Shaojun suddenly lost their master and instantly became scattered and fell apart. This was because everyone who followed him knew that His Highness had no son and their great cause had no successor.

The forces of various parties are surging, and the entire Da Qi Kingdom is in danger.

You were still an infant at the time. If the late emperor had announced to the world that you were His Highness's son, His Highness's supporters would have undoubtedly leaned towards you and supported you, and the court crisis would have been resolved immediately.

But at the same time, it also puts you in the spotlight, and all the vassal kings will target you and may even eat you alive. More ambitious people want to hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, and these people are even more hateful.

The late emperor had taken all of this into consideration. He knew it would be difficult for you to survive in that bloodless palace. Even if you had many people protecting you, you couldn't withstand the long-term plotting.

Moreover, the late emperor was severely injured and exhausted. He knew he could not protect you for much longer, so he thought of exchanging children."

Yun Qing was silent. He had always thought that the late emperor, his grandfather, did not like him, so he was imprisoned in Chonghua Palace until he was six years old. Who would have thought that this was exactly how his grandfather protected him.

Since the past events had been brought up, Yun Qing simply wanted to get to the bottom of it. "Why did you choose Prince Jing?"

Cang Xu was like an open encyclopedia, telling everything he knew: "That's naturally because Prince Jing is young and gentle, never fighting or competing, and also because his wife Shang is pregnant.

When Prince Jing ascends the throne, you will legitimately become the Crown Prince! And the Queen's son will take your place, drawing some of the firepower outside. That way, you can survive and grow up! To help that kid live longer, the four of us have been his secret guards for free these past few years."

So that's how it was. The four of them actually went to Fuzhou to protect the queen's son.

Haha! Yun Qing sneered: "It's not in vain to be a secret guard. If I die, he will be the real prince! You can also be considered to have done a great job in protecting the master!"

"Hey! You're wronging us. We are loyal to His Highness. Heaven and earth are our witnesses, as are the sun and the moon..."

"Alright, alright, shut up! You don't look like my father's secret guards to me. Are you the late emperor's secret guards? You know nothing about your master's affairs, but you know a lot about the late emperor."

Cang Xu was speechless for a moment and had no answer.

"Ha! Did I really guess it right? Are you really the late emperor's secret guards?" Yun Qing knew what was going on as soon as he saw Cangnan's appearance.

Cang Xu's eyes evaded as he spoke, "Actually, we were sent by the late emperor as secret guards to His Highness. However, His Highness's martial arts skills were so high that he didn't need our protection at all. Later, we temporarily obeyed the late emperor's orders."

As expected, Yun Qing finally understood. They weren't here to protect his father, they were clearly here to monitor him! No wonder his father avoided them no matter what he did.

"Since the late emperor has already passed the throne to Prince Jing, why did he insist on changing his son and not making Prince Jing's son the crown prince? Does he think so highly of me?"

Yun Qing felt that the situation was more complex than that. As an emperor, and a wise ruler at that, Emperor Yong'an had dedicated his entire life to stabilizing the country. He was not one to act on sentiment. He would not, because of the loss of his most beloved son, sacrifice his own son to make Yun Qing the crown prince. He was not that kind of king!

Then, he must have been made crown prince because he could benefit the Qi state. But what was the reason? Could it be that his father, Crown Prince Shaojun, was hiding some secret?
