Zhao Zhen insisted on going with him, but Zhao Sheng was actually very reluctant. Who could predict whether this trip would be a good or bad one?

After all, I have martial arts skills, so it will be easier for me to escape.

Zhao Zhen followed along, like a burden, but now was not the time to discuss this.

"Zhao Long, prepare a carriage and bring ten guards. Be careful when traveling at night."

While Zhao Sheng was speaking, he gave Zhao Long a look.

The carriage was quickly harnessed, and Zhao Long followed Zhao Sheng's instructions and brought his most capable subordinates and weapons that could be used for both defense and offense.

Zhao Zhen, who got in the car, now understood what might happen next, but in her heart she only wanted to be with Zhao Sheng, even if it meant death.

Zhao Sheng rides a horse. Although his horsemanship is not very good, he can keep up with Li Shuya's speed.

Zhao Zhen, escorted by Zhao Long and his group, was left behind and followed from a distance.

When the princess and her entourage arrived at Dingzhou County, the city gate had already been closed, but when the guard saw that it was the princess, he quickly opened the gate.

"I have met the princess, but I didn't know it was the princess who came into the city. I deserve to die!"

"Leave one person behind. When the princess arrives, the guards will be ready to protect her!"

Li Shuya did not say much to the guard, but left one guard behind to wait for Zhao Zhen and his party to enter the city to avoid misunderstandings later. As for calling her a princess, she was just following Zhao Sheng's wishes.

As the princess arrived at the palace, the old general and the prince were both lying in bed. The servants could not wake them up, but this did not affect their snoring at all.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao knew that the problem was not serious. However, considering that after all, he had drunk a bowl of high-proof alcohol, which was actually only about 70 degrees, it would not cause death so quickly.

"Dissolve honey in water and force it down the drain until they vomit."

"I have ordered the prince to take Guati Powder to remove the poison. Your method of inducing vomiting seems too crude and simple, and it doesn't demonstrate my skills. After all, it's all about inducing vomiting, so it doesn't matter who induces it."

The doctor who came to treat Zhao Sheng saw that he wanted to induce vomiting and thought that Zhao Sheng's method was simple and direct, but it also showed that his own method was not sophisticated enough. After all, it was all vomiting, and the effect would be the same no matter who induced it.

"It's just that I drank too much. Your Guatisan has side effects. My method is the best. Why don't you hurry and do it!"

There is no trivial matter in the prince's family. Moreover, the prince is now obsessed with this, so the doctor can't say much. After all, it is a matter of life and death.

The servants were busy for a while, and as a result, the old general was the first to vomit.

"After he finishes vomiting, let him drink some honey water, but don't force him to drink more. If he vomits again, he will need to continue drinking honey water." Mr. Zhao thought that at his age, it would be troublesome if he got dehydrated from vomiting.

In this way, the general vomited, then the prince vomited, and the two of them tossed and turned until midnight.

In fact, Zhao Long and Zhao Zhen had arrived at the palace a long time ago, but everyone was busy and no one had time to take care of them. When Zhao Sheng was almost done with his work, he found Zhao Zhen and others standing in front of the courtyard gate.

"Princess, it's already late at night. Is there anything to eat? My people and I are starving!"

After hearing what Zhao Sheng said, Li Shuya also felt a little hungry, but thinking about the smell in the room just now, she didn't want to eat anything.

"Tell the kitchen to make some midnight snacks. Um..." Li Shuya looked at Zhao Sheng and asked, "Does my father need something to eat?"

"They're heavy drinkers. They've had too much to drink. Do you think they can eat more? I suspect they'll still be weak when they wake up tomorrow morning. It's better to wait until they wake up tomorrow morning and make some sobering and nourishing food for them."

With Zhao Sheng's words, Li Shuya felt much more at ease. The kitchen quickly prepared some midnight snacks, enough for everyone in the house.

Zhao Sheng accompanied Zhao Zhen and also asked Zhao Long and others to eat something together. They would probably have to travel back in the evening, and it would be uncomfortable to go hungry.

"I'm not going to eat anymore. You and the Master..."

"You're the only one who talks too much nonsense. Eat something. What if something happens on the way and you're hungry?"

After scolding Zhao Long, the group went to eat obediently.

Fortunately, they were in the palace and were used to eating the food in the courtyard. Otherwise, they really wouldn't be able to eat the food from ordinary people's homes.

Li Shuya saw that Zhao Sheng was not eating, but was accompanying Zhao Zhen, just like a brother with his sister.

But she remembered that Zhao Sheng's mother only gave birth to him and had no younger sister. Could it be that this younger sister was born to other concubines?

I was full of curiosity, but I couldn't ask in front of so many people.

"Should I call you Sixth Brother, or should I call you..."

Li Shuya deliberately didn't say the rest of the words, and at the same time gestured to Zhao Sheng to go out and find a place to talk.

I followed Li Shuya to a side courtyard, where guards were guarding outside.

"Sixth Prince, I am not wrong to say this!" Li Shuya saw that there was no one around, bowed to Zhao Sheng, and asked.

"Right or wrong, what does it matter? Can you keep it a secret for me? Or what else can I do?"

Zhao Sheng's body tensed at this moment. Although he had been prepared in his heart, he didn't expect that this layer of paper would still be pierced. He quietly took out a short blade from his sleeve, ready to use it to fight at any time.

"Didn't the palace spread the news that you were dead? How come…"

Li Shuya knew that she shouldn't ask about the royal family's affairs, but Zhao Sheng's matter was really bizarre, and she was curious.

"Just treat me as if I'm dead and give me a chance to live. I originally wanted to go to Yanzhou and serve under my third brother, but when I got to Zhao County, I chose to stay. After today, I will leave and I won't bring any trouble to you."

"Sixth brother, I don't know about the Sixth Prince in the palace. I know I have a Sixth Brother who saved my father."

"Haha~, my surname is Zhao and yours is Li. Who would believe you?" Zhao Sheng smiled bitterly. He knew that Li Shuya meant well.

"I do have a sixth brother, but he was from my uncle's family. He died in battle, so few people know about it."

Zhao Sheng heard this and turned around and looked at Li Shuya: "The Imperial Palace doesn't know either?"

"Are you stupid? How can you approach someone who knows you about this kind of thing? Today's matter will be kept secret from the public. I'll just say it was my sixth brother who came. I guess that's all that matters."

"This is the only way." Zhao Sheng nodded silently. He knew that Li Shuya had made such an announcement so that he could continue to stay in Shigang Village.

But what Zhao Sheng didn't know was that many people knew that the sixth brother Li Shuya mentioned had been engaged to her since childhood, but she just didn't say it just now.

"Tell me, you called me here not just to confirm who I am, right?"

We are all not stupid, so we might as well break this window paper.

"Sixth Brother, I heard you made a kind of food that can be used as a military reserve, and it has the same nutritional value as meat. Is that true?"

"That's true, but the taste isn't very good. Most of it is just for disaster victims to eat temporarily to tide them over."

Zhao Sheng didn't hide it from Li Shuya, but he continued, "The locusts are specially processed to remove the toxins in them, then dried and mixed with soybean powder to make puffed food, which is now Lai Fu biscuits."

When Li Shuya heard that Laifu cookies were made of locusts, she instantly lost her appetite...

It was already very late at night. Considering the safety of Zhao Sheng and the others, Li Shuya advised them to stay and leave the city after dawn.

The side courtyard where we were talking just now was uninhabited, so it was just right for Zhao Shenglai and his group to live in.

Anyway, this was not the first or second time that Zhao Zhen and Zhao Sheng had been together. Zhao Zhen slept next to Zhao Sheng with her clothes on, and slept very peacefully.

Zhao Long and others were divided into three groups, taking turns on duty every hour. Although the palace was relatively safe, Zhao Long knew that Zhao Sheng would definitely be satisfied with his actions.

They have a saying among themselves that they must keep one eye open when sleeping in the middle of the night to prevent sneak attacks. Besides, they are in someone else's home, and no one can be sure which will come first, an accident or tomorrow's sun.
