After leaving the city, Gao Shan brought two young men with him.

"My Lord, this one is Wu Yong, and this one is Shao Yang. They were arranged by Crown Prince Liu to come back with us. They are two young generals by the Crown Prince's side.

"Greetings, Master Shangguan." The two of them greeted each other politely.

"Young Master, our Emperor is seriously ill and might be in danger. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed us to get there as quickly as possible, as we're afraid the Emperor can't wait." The young general named Wu Yong stepped forward and bowed, requesting.

"I understand. We'll speed up after we're three hundred miles away from Beijing." Shangguan Ziqi was also afraid that the 500,000 taels of silver that his wife wanted would be lost.

The group moved on.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng rode in a carriage, while Cao Jinyu stood outside the carriage like a bodyguard.

Yu Yuanzheng felt that he was in a superior position, and it was unparalleled for him to have Prince Jing as his bodyguard.

The next day we travelled three hundred miles.

"Husband, let me ride a horse too. It will be much faster. Riding in a carriage is too slow." Yu Yuanzheng felt that her riding skills should allow her to ride long distances.

"Riding a horse is very tiring." Shangguan Ziqi was afraid that she couldn't bear it.

"It's okay, let's hurry up and when I can't stand it anymore, we'll take the carriage again. Let's save as much time as possible." Since Yu Yuanzheng has accepted this job, of course he hopes it can be done, otherwise why would he run so far.

At this moment, she really missed the cars and planes in her previous life, but she could only think about them.

"Ok."

The couple dressed up as a group of miracle doctors and put on masks.

However, the miracle doctor has a sworn brother: Cao Jinyu.

He also put on a mask.

The carriage was directly paid to the innkeeper as payment for the room.

The group traveled on horseback, and their speed was indeed much faster.

After rushing like this for twenty days, they finally arrived at Shujing, the capital of Southern Shu.

Yu Yuanzheng was exhausted.

However, her riding skills improved a lot along the way. She felt that she could ride a horse to the battlefield and kill the enemy.

It was just the area between her legs that was the worst. But she had a solution: she wrapped some more cloth around her thighs, and that made it much better.

Prince Liu had already sent people to wait outside the capital, and as soon as they saw them coming, they immediately took them to the Prince's Mansion.

When Prince Liu saw Shangguan Ziqi again, he was slightly surprised to see that he was wearing a mask again. He was still like this even though he knew his identity.

I knew what he meant. He didn't want to show up in Southern Shu as Shangguan Ziqi.

When Yu Yuanzheng met Prince Liu, he was completely different from the first time they met. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore a golden crown. His aura and image had completely changed.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince of Southern Shu." Yu Yuanzheng bowed in a formal manner.

"Dr. Zeng, I am very honored that you are here." Prince Liu was very polite to the doctor, but Shangguan Ziqi did not receive such treatment.

"No problem, I'm here for the medical fee you gave me, you can't go back on your word." Yu Yuanzheng's words were very vulgar, but also very frank.

"Don't worry, as long as my father can get better, I will give him a hundred thousand taels as a thank you for saving my life."

"Prince Liu is straightforward." Yu Yuanzheng was very satisfied with his answer. The hard work along the way was worth it.

In Prince Liu's heart, Yu Yuanzheng was the one who truly saved them. Shangguan Ziqi was just lucky to become sworn brothers with the miracle doctor.

Does he want him to become sworn brothers with the miracle doctor?

This way, he will have an extra layer of protection in the future.

But now is not the time to think about that.

"Everyone, you must be tired from the journey. Wash up first and rest for a night. I will take you to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Prince Liu was very considerate to the miracle doctor.

The chief steward of the Prince's Mansion immediately began to make arrangements.

Shangguan Ziqi brought nearly forty people with him.

When Prince Liu found out, he said nothing and just asked the steward to make the arrangements.

How could the eldest son of the Rong Palace not have anyone on his side? However, this also shows that he really cares about the genius doctor, bringing so many people to protect him along the way.

Shangguan Ziqi asked Yu Yuanzheng to have a good rest.

After washing up, he asked to see Prince Liu.

Prince Liu invited the person to his study.

As a result, I saw two people coming in.

He saw this person following them at the beginning, but they didn't introduce themselves and he didn't ask, thinking they were guards.

"I wonder who this is?"

Cao Jinyu took off his mask, revealing his handsome face: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Shu."

"So it's Prince Jing. I didn't expect you to come too. Why didn't you reveal your identity just now?" Prince Liu had been on a diplomatic mission to Wei, so of course he knew him.

"This prince is not the protagonist, he is just a guard. It doesn't matter."

"Are you also familiar with the miracle doctor?" Prince Liu was surprised.

When this miraculous doctor traveled, he was escorted by two influential young men from the capital of Wei.

It seems that his idea of ​​keeping people here is difficult to achieve.

"He is my father's adopted son and my prince's adopted brother. In my father's heart, she is more favored than me, his son."

"Oh! So that's how it is." Prince Liu sighed in his heart.

Why isn't this talented person from Nanshu?

"Prince Liu, what is the current situation in your Southern Shu Kingdom?" Shangguan Ziqi asked about the business.

The two people who went to pick up the people, Wu Yong and Shao Yang, knew very little.

“Ah, it was thanks to you that you sent five brothers to escort us back, otherwise I would have really died outside.

Thank you for your help, Brother Shangguan." Liu Dekun stood up and bowed deeply to Shangguan Ziqi.

"Easy to say."

“After I returned to the capital, I found a way to enter the palace and see my father, and then I exposed my second brother’s conspiracy.

But he had already controlled most of the palace, and his father's dragon guards were limited in number and could not stop him.

After he escaped from the capital with the help of General Cheng and his son, I sent people to chase him, but we had already lost the initiative.

The main reason is that I just returned to the capital and have no time to deploy anything.

My father's life is in danger, so he doesn't have much time to prepare for me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked entering the palace. Fortunately, my father's dragon guards are quite capable."

When Liu Dekun talked about what happened in those days, he was still scared.

If he had come back a few days later, his father would have passed away, and his second brother would have controlled the government and quickly ascended the throne. Even if he came back, it would have been useless and would have brought him disaster.

"Given your current situation, you don't have to save your father." Shangguan Ziqi deliberately tested him and spoke very boldly.

It is very interesting that Liu Dekun sent people all the way to Wei to ask for help from his father who was blocking his ascension to the throne.

"Brother Shangguan, my father is already forty-eight years old. After this poisoning, his health is no longer as good as before. No one can predict how long he can live.

"We in Southern Shu rule the world with filial piety. As both a prince and a crown prince, I must set a good example. It is my duty to allow my father to live out his remaining days in peace."

Liu Dekun spoke of his filial piety in a righteous manner.

Shangguan Ziqi listened, nodded, and smiled with an ambiguous smile.

Prince Liu is a very good person. He is already 28 years old, so it is normal for him to be mature and experienced.

The emperor won't live long anyway, and now the second prince has become a stray dog. He has no competitors, so why not show his filial piety to the best of his ability and win the hearts of all the civil and military officials in the court.

The emperor's character also largely determines the loyalty of his subjects.

"You did a good job." Shangguan Ziqi said this like an elder, which made Liu Dekun feel strange.
