Ten diligent days: the fields are still

When Yuan Lai woke up, Madam and Yun He were standing by her bed, looking at her with concern. An An was standing nearby, holding Zhao Zhao and chewing a bun.

"I'm not saying anything, but your physical fitness is really too poor. You faint easily."

Yuan Lai remembered what Qi Rong said last night and couldn't help but feel a little worried. He got up and walked to the yard, but heard the strange silence in the yard. "Where are they?"

"Dad woke me up early in the morning, acting so mysterious. We were all having a meeting in the house."

Yuan Lai ran out of the room and saw Hong Bao standing at the door with an unconvinced look on his face.

I used to hold him in my arms during meetings, so why are we so distant now? Is there any secret he can't bear to hear?

Seeing Yuan Lai coming over, Hong Bao felt like he had found a savior, "Yuan Lai, Master Hua Xuan won't let me in. I see he's looking pale, is he injured?"

He was indeed injured, and seriously so.

"No."

Yuan Lai put his ear to the window and heard some chattering sounds from inside.

"Leave it to us."

The discussion stopped, Yuan Lai took two steps back, and stood under the eaves holding the red envelope.

Qi Rong opened the door and came out, calling out Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao jumped out of An An's arms and ran towards Qi Rong.

"Zhao Zhao, you must keep an eye on them."

"Don't worry, Daddy. Everything will be fine as long as I'm here." Zhao Zhao squeezed out two tears. "Are you leaving today? I've only seen you for two days."

Qi Rong said nothing, but reached out to help Zhao Zhao tuck her loose hair into place with a hairpin, then looked at Yuan Lai. "First, take your wife and Yun He to Jingci Temple to find Prince Jing. Jingci Mountain is quite a distance away from Jingci Temple. An An, you're quick on your feet, so follow Yuan Lai today. Once you find them, you two should meet us at Jingci Mountain as soon as possible. Ren He is hot on our trail, so we need to leave as soon as we get the medicine."

Yuan Lai nodded. In order not to waste time, she took her wife and Yunhe to Jingci Temple to find Prince Jing.

Along the way, it started to drizzle. The trees looked lush and green, but it cast a gloomy shadow over the hearts of several people.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stopped and someone blocked their way.

"I am an incompetent man, and I have been traveling for a long time. I am hungry and thirsty. I wonder if I could give you a ride."

Hungry and thirsty, yet you still need a ride? That's completely off-base. There's definitely something wrong.

Yuan Lai asked the mother and daughter to sit in the back and lifted the curtain. "We are both women. You should find another place."

The man standing outside the car was dressed in tattered clothes, looking like a beggar, but his behavior was not like that of an ordinary person. When he saw Yuan Lai, he waved and said, "Hi!"

Yuan Lai never expected to meet Su Deyi here, "Why are you here?"

"Wherever the wish-making person is, that's where our wish-clearing master should be! Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Why are you here? Where's Huaxuan? Does he trust you to be alone?"

Yuan Lai swallowed what he wanted to say and asked, "Where are you going?"

Su De kicked the coachman off the carriage and sat in the coachman's seat himself. "Hey, I'll go wherever you go."

With a snap of the whip, Sude drove the carriage forward with confidence.

Yuan Lai thought about it, sorted it out from the beginning, and guessed a possibility, "You are not sent by Ren He to kidnap us?"

Su Deyi turned around with a clear conscience and threw a small gourd with intricate patterns on it to Yuan Lai. "Since you're so smart, I'll give you something to save your life. Take this gourd. If Hua Xuan loses and can't protect you, open the gourd and hide inside."

Being so sure that Qi Rong will lose, it seems that Ren He is really powerful.

"Who is Ren He?"

"He's a world spirit, able to travel through any time and space at will, and he's the one who makes the world's laws. People like us have to rely on him for our livelihood. For someone like me, if I offend him, it would basically ruin my career. Hey, when the big guys fight, the little guys suffer."

"So powerful? Then what is Kah's identity?" Yuan Lai still remembered what Qi Rong said, that these two people must not meet, otherwise the world will collapse.

Su Deyi drove the carriage with a sigh, "That's something to say. Kah and Ren He do have a connection. If you know that when the two meet, day and night will be reversed, and the world will turn upside down. Don't ask me how I know, because I heard it too."

I wasted so much time, it turns out he just heard it and he really just spoke it out loud!

Yuan Lai felt speechless and got back into the carriage.

Inside the car, the mother, daughter, and An An all fell asleep on their seats. It seemed that Su Deyi didn't want these things to be heard.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Jingci Temple. Today happened to be the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the temple was full of people coming to fulfill their vows.

Yuan Lai woke up the three people, got off the carriage and went straight to the hall.

As a former frequent visitor, the lady was very familiar with the temple's architecture. Pointing to a large hall, she excitedly said, "That's the Jin Hall. It's where I often stayed when I was young, and later it became my own private room. My husband must have been placed there!"

When relatives met, both of them walked much faster. Yuan Lai followed closely behind, panting with exhaustion.

An An grabbed her collar and said with disgust, "It's time to exercise."

"If I can make it back alive, I will definitely ask Tingting to supervise me while I run."

Yunhe gradually ran to the front, climbed the steps, and pushed open the door of the hall with his hand.

The hall, which I had thought would be empty, was now bustling with activity. The Emperor of Chuliang had actually come to visit Prince Jing in person.

He earnestly persuaded Prince Jing to surrender, "You have no blood relationship with Xihu Kingdom. If the late emperor had not been careless, how could he have allowed you to drift to another country? Now your parents are in Chuliang, why do you want to return to Xihu? I have sent people to find the princess, and your family will be reunited soon."

"Who knows if you're not colluding to deceive me?" Prince Jing's vigilance disappeared the moment he saw his wife and Yun He come in. "Madam?!"

The touching scene of family reunion had little appeal to Yuan Lai. Her attention was all on the Emperor of Chuliang who was standing next to her with a look of relief on his face.

Wow, he is worthy of being the eldest brother. He became the emperor so easily. It is very impressive to show off his identity!

When someone asks you in the future, who is your elder brother?

Answer him directly, my eldest brother is the emperor.

Hehehe, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

Yuan Lai's fantasy was broken by a young eunuch. He was hit by something and his arm hurt.

"You are such a rude and unruly person! Do you think the Emperor can just look at you? Come, drag him out and dig out his eyes!"

This is not a little eunuch. Before he could finish his words, Yuan Lai was kicked to the ground.

Yuan Lai stopped the angry An An and kowtowed twice, imitating the way they did in TV dramas. "Please spare my life, Your Majesty! I just wanted to see your face and was impolite for a moment. I have no intention of being disloyal!"

The emperor didn't say anything, but looked at the young eunuch.

There's something wrong with this situation?

Prince Jing came forward to plead for Yuan Lai, "She has traveled thousands of miles to send her wife and daughter to Chuliang to be with me. I hope the emperor will show some mercy."

The young eunuch next to him finally relaxed and said, "Get up."

Yuan Lai stood up, lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the emperor, who saw that he was holding Prince Jing's hand tightly and was unwilling to let go.

It seems that it is not easy to be the emperor of Chuliang Kingdom!
