After Lu Yunchuan was ordered to leave the capital, the emperor's early court was as usual, and he summoned the courtiers to discuss matters in the Chengming Pavilion. Because of the battle in Yubei and the reclamation of barren fields, they discussed for more than an hour. It was nearly noon when Xing Ye and others walked out of the Chengming Pavilion .

Qi Yanxing didn't go with him, and when the others were gone, he looked at the emperor and said, "Are you willing to let him go?"

"The frontier needs him." Ming Wanzhao said in the usual tone.

It is the best arrangement for Lu Yunchuan to return to Lingxi, Ming Wanzhao knows who he is, and will not miss official business because of private affairs.

He looked up at Qi Yanxing, and said: "The old Hou Ye died in battle that year, if not for the fact that the father couldn't help himself, he would have let you go back."

Qi Yan paused for a while, but his expression remained unchanged, and he nodded calmly: "If I leave, Yijing's plans will definitely be ruined."

At that time, the situation was so dire that he could only leave his young nephew in Yubei to take charge of the overall situation. Fortunately, Qi Chao was upbeat and even sent him a letter from Kuai Ma, telling Qi Yanxing not to worry and not to come back.

It's not for personal reasons, but for the situation in Yijing.

They both knew each other well, what should be put first, just like Ming Wanzhao who ordered Lu Yunchuan to return to Lingxi today.

"I didn't want to keep him." Ming Wanzhao's brows and eyes revealed a very shallow smile, like the shattered light shining through the gaps in the leaves in spring.

Qi Yanxing is too familiar with this look, or maybe it's because the father and son look so much alike, when Ming Rongzhou looked at him in the past, he was also like this, a smile is better than Haruhi.

He looked at the little emperor who was no longer deep and lonely, and said in a soft voice with some relief: "That's fine, I and the late emperor only hope that your majesty will be happy and healthy, apart from the stability of the beam."

"More than that." Ming's wail also softened, "Uncle, you should know that my father is not the only one who misses me."

On the night of Ming Rongzhou's death, he was kneeling in front of the couch, and heard that "Ah Xing".

But ever since the Lu family was eliminated, Ming Wanzhao found that Qi Yanxing seemed not as good as before.When Lu Zuoxian was not dead, Qi Yanxing lived by hatred, but now he even smiled like a lifeless widow, as if he had lost all his thoughts.

Ming Wanzhao knew why, and Qi Yanxing knew it in his heart.

They met each other when they were young and stayed together for several years. They once gazed at each other in the abyss and exchanged sincerity.Such an unforgettable experience, once he lost his love, Qi Yanxing was doomed not to be relieved in this life.

Qi Yanxing was silent for a long time, and in the end he only touched the corner of his lips, smiled, and then leaned over to leave.

He was trapped in the past voluntarily, occasionally wishing to see the person from the past in his dreams, no one can save him, and he doesn't want to be saved.

Ming Wanzhao remained silent until Bai Tan reminded softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to go back to Qihua Palace?"

"Let's go back." Ming Wanzhao said calmly, and when he got up, he glanced at Bai Tan and asked, "How is the harem these days?"

There are no empresses and concubines in the palace, they are just palace people, so they are supervised by the servant Bai Tan.Ever since Lu Yunchuan said that there might be a spy from Northern Xinjiang sneaking into the palace, Ming Wanzhao has been secretly investigating.

"Your Majesty, everyone is safe." Bai Tan replied with a bow.

Ming Wanzhao nodded, he had just discussed with the Ministry of Household Affairs, recently the border is not stable, the palace should reduce the expenses, just to take this opportunity to send out those who don't know the details of the palace.

After returning to Qihua Hall, Ming Wanzhao had a meal in a hurry, without Lu Yunchuan personally serving him, he didn't ask others to serve the dishes, he ate a meal by himself, and then sat in front of the desk to read the booklet.

I happened to see Qiao Zihan's note, which was about the canonization and naturalization of Lingxi, and it was stated that everything had been settled.

Ming Wanzhao put down the verdict and put the folder back, his eyes darkened.

After Qiao Zihan returned to Beijing, he did not get too warm with the courtiers. Instead, he went to visit Su Jinhuai twice, but Su Jingci blocked them both times.There are too many smart people in the court, and Su Jingci probably knows something, so he repeatedly rejected Qiao Zihan.

Su Jinhuai really didn't see Qiao Zihan anymore, did he become sick, or did he avoid seeing him on purpose?

Ming Wanzhao thought about it for a while, then suddenly called out: "Bai Tan, tell me, Su Yushi has been ill for a long time, and I want to visit the mansion in person."

Bai Tan responded: "Your maidservant is going to spread the word."

The emperor went out of the palace with great fanfare, and when the royal chariot arrived at the gate of the Su mansion, Su Jingci and his servants knelt in front of the gate to welcome the holy chariot.

Wearing ordinary clothes, Ming Wanzhao walked out of the imperial chariot slowly, and said softly: "There is no need to be polite, everyone get up."

Su Jingci just got up, accompanied the holy driver, bowed his head and said: "Thank you for your majesty's concern, but my father is still unable to stay in bed, I hope your majesty will forgive me."

"It's okay." Ming Wanzhao said gently, "Master Su has worked hard for many years, and they are all leaders. There is no reason to be harsh."

Su Jingci brought Ming Wanzhao to the bedroom, through the door, Ming Wanzhao smelled the bitter and strong smell of medicine.

"I'm talking to Su Yushi." Ming Wanzhao said with a smile, "There's no need for Aiqing to come in."

Su Jingci stayed outside the door as promised, and agreed.

Naturally, Bai Tan couldn't enter either, Ming Wanzhao entered the door alone, walked around the screen, saw Su Jinhuai's appearance, he was still stunned for a moment.

The old man lying on the couch was dying, with full hair, much thinner than before. He struggled to get up.Ming Wanzhao stepped forward and tapped his shoulder, saying: "Old Su, lie down."

Su Jinhuai lost all energy in his eyes, looked at Ming Wanzhao for a moment, and then said: "It's against the rules."

"In terms of seniority, you are my father's teacher, so you don't need to be too polite." Ming Wanzhao sat on the serving chair in front of the bed, looking at this old man who seemed to be about to burn out.

He is the only veteran who became an official during the Shengyuan period.

Su Jinhuai was also weak when he spoke, "Your Majesty came to look for the old minister today, he must have something to ask."

"say"

Ming Wanzhao looked at him and asked, "Qiao Zihan, is Emperor Yongde's son?"

Su Jinhuai was silent for a while, and didn't hide any more. He said, "That's right. Back then, Empress Lu controlled the harem, and the only dragon species was the prince who was born in the middle palace. Lord Yongde's food was mixed with poison. When he found out, there was no cure for it."

"Afterwards, His Majesty also knew that Emperor Angan was ordered in danger, but at that time, Lord Yongde favored Lan Yu, the maid who served in Qiuyue Palace. They were intercepted and killed, and Lord Yongde once secretly sent a letter to the veteran to try to rescue Lan Yu's mother and son on the day of the palace change."

Ming Wanzhao nodded, and asked again: "All these years, he was raised by you?"

Su Jinhuai paused, and then said: "After all, this is the last blood of Lord Yongde. The old minister wanted to stay by his side to raise him, but he was afraid that Mrs. Lu would find out, so he had no choice but to send someone to escort Lan Yu's mother and son to Lingxi. Who would have given birth in Jiangdong? It was delayed for a long time, and I met a bandit again, and since then there has been no news, the old minister thought that the mother and son were doomed to die."

Ming Wanzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "Then how did you find him?"

Su Jinhuai said truthfully: "It wasn't the old minister who found him, but he found the old minister. In the 14th year of Anqian, he found the old minister with the handwritten letter of Yongde with the jade seal. When he left the palace and met a bandit, Lan Yu The girl died on the way to flee, but he was adopted by a family who could not read, and he did not know his background until he became literate with his husband."

After he finished speaking, he was silent for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, after all, he is the last blood of Lord Yongde, not to mention that the royal family has no descendants now..."

"You want to train him to be an emperor."

Ming Wanzhao interrupted Su Jinhuai softly, he naturally understood what Su Jinhuai meant, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said: "But Daliang now has an emperor, it's not like I can't tolerate others, as long as he keeps his own place."

Ming Wanzhao had to be wary of such an ambitious prince who wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, and was even close to sitting on the throne.

Seeing that Su Jinhuai was silent, Ming Wanzhao softened his tone and said: "As for the emperor's heir, since the emperor's sister is still alive, Daliang will not be extinct. I will pay attention to this Qiao Zihan. When the border is stable, he wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Not impossible."

Ming Wanzhao made it clear and did it impeccably, Su Jinhuai had nothing to say, he just said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Having finished speaking, when Ming Wanzhao got up to go out, he said softly: "Lord Su, rest well, Da Liang Zhen will watch over you."

Yubei was dry and hot, and there was no rain for several days.

After Qi Chaoce was injured, Chi Nu sent troops to surround the entire Changyuan City. When Lu Ziyuan led the army to help, he tore a hole, and with the support of the Beifu Army, he entered the city smoothly.

Jing'an Hou Mansion is the Qi family's ancestral house, and Qi Lu led the way, saying, "Miss Lu, please come here."

Yijing's decree has not yet arrived, and Ming Wanzhao's reward is still unknown on the frontier.

"Don't be polite, it's all part of your job." Lu Ziyuan was wearing a black short jacket, with straps on her wrists, and a pair of knives pinned to her waist. She frowned slightly. As soon as she approached the bedroom, she sniffed the subtle The smell of blood.

"Who's serving you inside?" She asked casually.

Qi Lu's face was subtle, and he didn't make a sound. He just announced outside, "Master, Miss Lu is here."

After a while, a hoarse voice came from inside: "Please come in, Miss Lu."

Lu Ziyuan pushed open the door, the bitter and strong herbal smell mixed with the smell of blood, after all, she couldn't smell it, but her expression was as usual, until she saw another woman in the room, her expression changed slightly.

Qi Yanxing sat on the couch in his robe, his face was pale, and his temple hair was still wet.The woman in plain clothes standing beside him was the eldest princess whom Lu Ziyuan had glimpsed from afar in Beijing.

Ming Ye felt that they must have something to say, nodded slightly to Lu Ziyuan, and then went out.

"You came too soon." Qi Chaoce showed a wry smile on his pale and bloodless face, and said, "This appearance makes you laugh."

"I've never seen you in such a mess before." Lu Ziluan narrowed his eyes, raised his chin towards the door, and said with a joke, "It's a blessing to serve you personally, Lord Hou, no wonder I snatched someone away that day.

Qi Chaoce's face froze instantly, his lips moved for a while, and finally changed the subject extremely stiffly.

"...Let's get down to business, brother and sister."

Lu Ziyuan was in a good mood when she said something about siblings, and she said kindly: "Okay, you are the elder brother who listens to you.
