After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

"Don't blame him." Zhao Huaixin stepped forward and said, "No one in the palace knew you, and I didn't know you were coming. The guards didn't inform you, so you were delayed."

Ye Xunqing also wanted to write a letter to inform the people in the palace, but the key was whether their letter could be delivered to Zhao Huaixin?

Even the mayor’s mailbox may not be read by anyone, let alone the heavily guarded royal palace.

"Commander Zhao, it was our mistake. We will let the person out now." A man in his forties behind Zhao Huaixin said in panic.

Judging from his attire, he was a military commander. The clothes he wore were the same as those worn by the men who had previously captured Ye Xunqing, but they looked more advanced.

"Don't catch people picking peach blossoms casually in the future." Zhao Huaixin said.

The general said: "But this is the order of the old prince..."

The old prince's last order before his death mentioned two things: one was to find his son, and the other was to forbid others from picking peach blossoms.

The generals were the old men left behind by the old prince, so naturally they listened to him. After all, in their minds, the prince was of unknown origin.

Yes, the current King of Annan is not the descendant of the old prince. It is said that the old prince had only one child, and that prince did not leave any descendants. He died many years ago.

The prince in the palace now is his brother's child.

More than 20 years ago, the old prince lost his biological child, so he brought a child from Kyoto to inherit the throne. If there was no heir, the title of King of Annan would be taken back.

Zhao Huaixin frowned and said nothing more.

When Ye Xunqing came out of the cage, he felt that the air around him was much fresher.

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, go out and eat." Ye Xunqing urged.

Just as he was about to leave, the man next to him said, "Little brother, you don't want to eat your meal anymore, can you give it to me?"

One meal a day can only ensure that he does not starve to death, but it is indeed not enough to fill him up.

Ye Xunqing thought about what he had just said to him, and then said to Zhao Huaixin: "Commander Zhao, this elder brother just said that his wife was forced to death by the prefect's son, and he himself was also imprisoned here by the prefect. Can you do anything about it?"

The man felt that the person who came was not ordinary, so he immediately protested, "Sir, everything I said is true. If there is even a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"

"The prefect's son stole your wife?" Zhao Huaixin asked, "Is that what I meant? But I remember the prefect's son already had a wife. Why would he steal your wife?"

Zhang Ji felt a chill in his heart. Generally speaking, when someone said that, it meant that the officials were going to protect each other.

Ye Xunqing said: "You can find out if you ask. If it is true, then you can let him go. If it is not true, then wouldn't that be great?"

"That makes sense." Zhao Huaixin said, "Han Yan, go tell Governor Hu that the prince will invite him to dinner tonight."

Han Yan is the general who just spoke.

Han Yan shuddered, "Why did the prince invite Hu Taishou to dinner?"

Zhao Huaixin felt that this man was a bit pedantic. "Of course I have something to ask him, what else can I do? Besides, we have a great chef coming to our house tonight, and he's cooking delicious food. Governor Hu won't be disappointed."

What he said literally meant that he would not be disappointed, but to Han Yan it had a different meaning, because Han Yan knew best what Prefect Hu had done.

"Yes, I know."

I'm afraid that Governor Hu is in great danger.

After leaving the prison, Ye Xunqing was stuffed into a carriage. The carriages in the palace were different. Not only were they big, but they were also very fragrant. As soon as you smelled the fragrance, you could tell that it was not made of technology or hard work.

Zhao Huaixin was still riding a horse as usual. He was riding in front, with two guards on each side. If you didn't know, you would think that the person sitting inside was a prince.

The carriage had been going for a long time, but still hadn't reached the palace gate. Ye Xunqing asked anxiously, "Is the palace very far away?"

The guard nearby heard this and replied, "We've already reached the palace, but we haven't reached the main gate yet."

"What do you mean?" Ye Xunqing looked outside and could only see the high courtyard wall.

Feng Jingheng said, "It means that this street is full of royal palaces."

The palaces of kings, princes, generals and ministers were all regulated, with certain requirements on the number of rooms and area. The Annan Palace was very large. It could be said that one quarter of the main city of Pingzhou was the Annan Palace.

However, the old prince had few children and no other concubines, so most of the places in the palace were uninhabited.

But the palace had already been built and it was impossible to demolish it, so it was left for the next King of Annan to live in.

Unexpectedly, the next King of Annan was even more frugal than the old prince. He ordered all the unused houses to be locked up, and all the maids and servants who were no longer needed were given money and sent back home, so now the King of Annan and his family only live in a few courtyards.

Finally arriving at the gate of the Annan Palace, Ye Xunqing had no other thoughts but only four words: "rich and powerful".

The golden gate shining in the dark night and the four big characters of dragon and phoenix dancing on it exude the concept of "wealth" inside and out.

"The prince is not here. You should eat and rest tonight and see him tomorrow." Zhao Huaixin said.

Ye Xunqing asked him, "Didn't you say you wanted to invite Governor Hu to dinner?"

Zhao Huaixin replied, "Scare him. I don't care about government affairs, I only focus on military defense. Leave the matter of Hu Taishou to the prince. He will be back tomorrow morning."

Ye Xunqing asked again: "Where are my brothers?"

Zhao Huaixin thought for a moment, then asked, "Hey, is your brother here too?"

Ye Xunqing was terrified, "Didn't Xiaobai and the others come with Ah Heng?"

Feng Jingheng grabbed Ye Xunqing and said, "They are here. The palace steward has already arranged a courtyard for them."

Zhao Huaixin nodded, "Oh, is that so? I didn't know that. The affairs of the palace are all under the control of the prince, and the prince is not here today."

"Haha." Ye Xunqing admired Zhao Huaixin very much, "You seem quite content."

Seeing Zhao Huaixin's behavior, the King of Annan is definitely not serious either. The person who can fall in love with Zhao Huaixin is definitely not an ordinary person.

The palace steward's surname is Ling, with the given name Hui. He is the adopted son of the old steward and grew up in the palace since childhood.

Ling Hui followed Zhao Huaixin's instructions and brought these people to the courtyard where Ye Xunbai and the others were staying, and then assigned a few servants to serve them. Ye Xunqing was not used to it, so he asked them to go back with Ling Hui.

"Brother, I'm so glad you're okay!" Ye Xunbai curled his lips and said, "I thought you were going to be beheaded."

Ye Xunqing covered his mouth and said, "Listen to me, thank you. My body is warm because of your words. Xiaobai, you are really my dear brother."

Ye Xunbai said foolishly: "Of course I am my brother's biological brother."

"Pingzhou City is too scary." Mo Yuyan was still frightened. "Just picking a peach blossom, and he's going to die. We should go back early."

Ye Xunqing said, "Let's play here for a few days first, and then go home when we've had enough fun."

Ye Xunbai said: "We need to see Brother Zhizhi first and return the hat and cloak to him."

Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Zhizhi will be back tomorrow, go and give him whatever you want to give him."
