After picking up the White Cut Black Prince

When Wen Chu came out of the clean room, her face looked a little ugly. Chen Xiang saw that she had nothing on her hands when she went in, and when she came out, her hands were tied with gauze. She was confused and asked, "What's going on with you?"

Wen Chu said: "Well, it's nothing, it's just that the prince can't wait to slap my hand."

Chen Xiang was a little surprised and asked, "So this is the medicine our prince gave you?"

Wen Chu knew that she was thinking in the wrong direction, and hurriedly explained: "Hey, hey, hey, didn't I tell you that he wanted to slap me on the hand? What are you thinking about?"

Explaining in such a hurry means admitting it. Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly became strange. If the prince really wanted to hit her, he would not care whether her hands were scratched or not. She had already developed a delicate mind in Yuhui Hall and could see that the prince had a very special attitude towards Wen Chu.

Wen Chu looked at the expression of disbelief on Chen Xiang's face and stopped talking. She would believe it when she was beaten. She had been beaten in the palace when she was young. It was painful. She stopped thinking about it. Just thinking about it made her hand hurt.

Song Yusheng came out of the clean room in a quarter of an hour, wearing only his inner shirt.

Wen Chu was smart this time. Without waiting for anyone to remind him, he followed Song Yusheng into the inner room.

After entering the house, Song Yusheng glanced at Wen Chu who was standing still, "What are you standing there for? Put on your clothes."

When Song Yu was at Wen Chu's house, she was the one who helped him dress when he was seriously ill, so she shouldn't say that she didn't know how to dress.

Wen Chu raised his hand that was wrapped like a pig's trotter. Song Yusheng was speechless. Chenxiang, who was standing next to him, saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurried forward.

Fortunately, the gauze on his hand was wrapped by Song Yusheng. In the end, he didn't say anything and let Chenxiang help him put on the clothes.

After getting dressed, he went to the main hall. Not long after, Dong Yue came and said, "Master, the carriage is ready. You can leave after breakfast."

Song Yusheng had originally been ordered by Emperor Linghui to leave the capital. After his disappearance, he returned to Kyoto and was bound to go to the palace.

Among the four secret guards, only Xia Hua followed Song Yusheng closely to protect his safety, while the other three were basically behind the scenes, and only followed him occasionally. Just like today, Xia Hua is dead, and the three of them have not yet picked someone to replace Xia Hua, so Dong Yue followed him first.

After hearing what Dong Yue said, Wen Chu knew that Song Yusheng might be going out soon. She had not had time to eat since she arrived at the Duke's Mansion last night, and she was very hungry. But she could only wait for Song Yusheng to leave first, and then fill her stomach.

She thought, Song Yusheng would never be able to go out without taking her with him.
While thinking about this, I heard Song Yusheng say to Chenxiang: "Comb her hair."

Chen Xiang thought that Wen Chu's description was messy and dirty the eyes of the prince, so he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

After Chenxiang said this, he turned around and said to Wen Chu, "Can you squat down a little?"

Wen Chu was about the same height as her, but at this height, it was a little difficult for her to pin her hair, so she could only be asked to squat for a while.

Wen Chu was embarrassed to ask her to comb his hair, but when he heard her asking him to squat down, he immediately said, "Okay!" and then squatted down.

Horse stance was not a difficult task for her at all. After all, Old Man Wen had taught her some simple self-defense skills, and the most indispensable one was horse stance. She stood in the yard, and the longest time she stood there for half an hour.

But her stomach was empty at this moment, and her calves began to tremble uncontrollably when the needle was applied. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy, and her legs were shaking violently.

Dong Yue looked at him with disgust. What a joke. He couldn't even do it for an hour and he couldn't shake like this. She just did it for a while. He was young and his mind was always lively. He forgot the punishment he got for talking too fast. He said directly: "No, why are you still doing horse stance? Your legs are shaking like sieves. Just bend your legs properly. It's like you're wasting a lot of effort."

Wen Chu remembered clearly that it was Dongyue and Chunfeng who stopped her at the gate of Song Mansion yesterday. She couldn't talk back to Song Yusheng, but she was not afraid of Dongyue. She was irritated by these words, "Why do you care about me? I just like to get a tattoo. I have to get a tattoo. What's wrong?"

Dongyue looked at her like she was a fool, "You are so stubborn, you won't listen to me, just do it if you want, you are just as tired as me."

As they were talking, the maid came in to serve the dishes.

As soon as Wen Chu smelled the aroma of the food, he felt even weaker. The next second he stood up, bent his knees and half-squatted.

Dongyue was shocked. It was she who said she wanted to do the horse stance, but the next moment she bent her knees. So why did she argue with him just now?
The young man's eyes widened, shocked by Wen Chu's shamelessness. He said, "You are too unreasonable."

Wen Chu wanted to argue with him, but Chen Xiang patted her head and said, "It's done."

Wen Chu stretched out her "pig's trotter" and touched her head, with her fingertips still exposed. She vaguely felt that her hair was the same as Chenxiang's, a double bun.

When Song Yusheng saw that she had combed her hair, he said, "Come and have dinner. You can go to the palace with me later."

"Ah?" Wen Chu didn't react and pointed at himself, "Are you talking to me?"

Song Yusheng looked indifferent and said, "If you are not hungry, don't eat. You will have to enter the palace after a while."

Wen Chu was hungry. Regardless of whether to enter the palace or not, when she heard Song Yusheng asking her to eat, she decided to eat first.

After finishing the meal, Wen Chu said, "My hand is injured, so it's not good for me to go into the palace with you. This will bring shame to our prince. Isn't it disgraceful for a dignified Duke's Mansion to let a maid with an injured hand follow the prince?"

Song Yusheng was already rinsing his mouth. He gave her a scornful look, stood up, and said, "Why didn't you tell me before we had dinner? Now that you're full, you're still thinking of hiding?"

*
The two got on the carriage, which was even more luxurious than the one they took when they came back last time.

Wen Chu looked at the carriage and sighed for a moment, wondering what a good life Song Yu had lived.

It's so comfortable.

Wen Chu sat next to him, while Song Yusheng sat at the main seat, looking at something in his hands.

He disappeared in the countryside for more than two months, and it seemed that a lot of official business had piled up. Wen Chu saw that he seemed to be dealing with things all the time.

It’s better to be busy. When you are busy, you won’t think about settling accounts with her.

Dingguogong Mansion is located on Chang'an Street in the south of Kyoto. This street is the most prosperous place in Kyoto. The shops and stores are the most decorated in the world, as well as tea shops and shoe shops, all of which are magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. It can be said that the essence of Kyoto is all here.

Those who live in this street are all famous noble families, and many wealthy families are even proud to live here.

The Duke's Mansion is located at the outermost part of the houses. If you take a carriage to go to the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, it will only take a short while to finish a cup of tea.

In the past, when the morning court was still in use, the most coveted house in the capital was the Duke's Mansion. Apart from anything else, the most coveted thing was that it was close to the Meridian Gate, so people could get up later to attend the morning court.

The farther you live, the earlier you get up; some even get up half an hour earlier.

Later, the morning court was abolished. Those who lived farther away criticized Emperor Linghui for his behavior, but in fact they were all very happy.

The Meridian Gate is surrounded by three platforms on the east, west and north sides, and is surrounded by vermilion city walls to form a square square.

The car window was open, and the morning breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable. As the carriage got closer and closer to the Forbidden City, Wen Chu became more and more anxious, because the closer she got to the Meridian Gate, the more memories of this place came flooding back. The vermilion walls were like blood, oppressing her to the point that she could hardly breathe.

She had crawled like a dog for a whole day in this place, and was hung upside down on the city wall for three or four days. She was insulted here like an animal, and she had no power to fight back.

At that time, she often thought that it would be great if the rope hanging on her could break. It would be a good thing if her head was broken and her brain was splattered.

But her luck was still not good. The rope was always strong and could not be broken, so she was bullied like this all the time.

She leaned against the car window and looked at the Meridian Gate getting closer and closer, constantly reminding herself that it was all over, it was all over.

She is not Li Zhaoxi, she is Wen Chu. She is Wen Chu, not Li Zhaoxi.

Yes. She is Wen Chu.

The rising sun in the sky enveloped the earth, but Wen Chu felt the oppression was unbearable. However, he still tried his best to suppress his emotions, for fear that others would notice that something was wrong.

When they arrived at the Meridian Gate, they could no longer take the carriage. When they got off the carriage, a eunuch was already waiting inside to lead the way. He took Song Yusheng to the Qianqing Palace.

The news of Song Yusheng's return to the capital had already reached Emperor Linghui's ears yesterday. He had known that Song Yusheng would enter the palace, and he sent people to wait at the Meridian Gate early this morning.

Dong Yue and Wen Chu followed behind Song Yusheng as they walked in the long corridor. Wen Chu kept his head down all the way. After many years, he returned to the palace again and did not expect this to be the case.

In the palace, she was once the emperor's most beloved princess, and later became the most unspeakable princess in the world. Now, when she enters the palace again, she is not Li Zhaoxi, but Wen Chu. All the right and wrongs in the past have nothing to do with her.

But she was still a little afraid that someone would recognize her. If there was an acquaintance who didn't know her well, he would point at her and ask, "Ah! You, you, you! Aren't you dead?! Why are you still alive?"

What should she say then? It doesn't matter. She is thick-skinned enough. She scratched her head and played dumb. "Ah? Why am I dead? Why can't I live? Don't curse me! Besides, there are too many people who look alike in this world!"

What if she didn't believe it? If she had to bite him, it would be Li Zhaoxi. Then Wen Chu would say, "Fuck you! Who is Li Zhaoxi? He is an unlucky child. Don't associate me with this unlucky thing!"

Well, that's pretty good.

Dong Yue noticed that Wen Chu beside him was absent-minded. He nudged her with his elbow and reminded her in a low voice: "Behave yourself! If you cause any trouble in the palace today, no one will care about you!"

When Wen Chu heard what he said, he said jokingly, "I'm not crazy, why am I making trouble in the palace? You are a young boy, why do you always like to meddle in other people's affairs?"

Dong Yue replied: "If you weren't such a dishonest person, I would be afraid that you would cause trouble, and no one would care about you! Besides, I'm almost twenty years old, don't say I'm young!"

Dong Yue had met his match. Whether in Yuhui Hall or the secret guards, there was no one like Wen Chu. But he was also a lively person. He would always provoke anyone who was good at talking. Wen Chu would confront him, but he would just get close to him to make trouble.

These two bastards got together.

Wen Chu pretended to be surprised and said, "What! You are almost twenty? I see that you are only fifteen when you act like this. In this case, I am really shortsighted."

Dong Yue was furious at this, and he immediately brought up the past, dragging Zhao Shun out to talk about it. He was the one who killed Zhao Shun himself, and after hearing the curses Zhao Shun said to Wen Chu before his death, Dong Yue could easily guess that Zhao Shun must have bullied Wen Chu in the past, so in this way, he at least helped her vent her anger.

Dong Yue said, "Why don't I look like I'm twenty? You little Taoist priest really have no conscience. It was me who killed that thug in the first place."

A thug? Killed? Wen Chu didn't know that Zhao Shun was dead, but when he heard what he said, he knew he was talking about Zhao Shun.

Dong Yue killed Zhao Shun, which must have been Song Yusheng's will.

Song Yusheng, who had been silent, finally turned around and said in a cold voice, "If you keep fighting, why don't you all jump into the lake in the Imperial Garden and die in peace."

Perhaps because it was so early in the morning, I didn't meet many people along the way, only the occasional palace maids and eunuchs coming and going.

After hearing Song Yusheng's words, the two of them shut up and dared not speak anymore. Soon they arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

On the white marble base stands a yellow glazed tile double-eaved hip roof hall. On the double-eaved hip roof, the upper level has single-curved double-crystal seven-step brackets, and the lower level has single-curved single-crystal five-step brackets, decorated with golden dragon and seal paintings.

The entire hall is majestic yet exquisite and detailed.

Song Yusheng was led into the palace by the eunuchs, while Wen Chu and Dong Yue waited outside the palace. Wen Chu always felt like she was being stared at because she had nowhere to hide. She quietly hid behind Dong Yue.

Dong Yue noticed her intention and laughed, "Why are you hiding?" Wen Chu replied, "Didn't you tell me not to cause trouble? I've never seen the world, what if I lose face? What's wrong with you letting me hide for a while?"

Dong Yue thought about it and it was indeed true. Wen Chu was just a little village girl who had never even been to Kyoto, let alone the imperial palace. If she lost face, it would also be a loss of face for his son. Thinking of this, he cooperated and leaned back.

Everything went dark before his eyes, and Wen Chu turned to face Dong Yue and began to ponder.

What Dongyue didn't know was that in the eyes of others, their actions made them look like two sneaky thieves.

Wen Chu was somewhat speechless, "You don't have to be like this. You look like a thief."
Isn't this just like digging a hole and burying your head in it, but your butt is still exposed?

*
Over there, Emperor Linghui was sitting on the throne. The eunuch led Song Yusheng into the hall and then left.

The main seat of the Qianqing Palace is a throne, and above the throne hangs a plaque with the words "upright and open". Seeing someone coming, Emperor Linghui put down what he was doing and looked up at him.

Emperor Linghui was clearly only forty years old, but his face looked much older than that. The corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, and one could only vaguely glimpse his handsome appearance when he was young through his eyebrows.

Before the palace coup of Prince Li, Emperor Linghui was not like this. However, after the coup, Emperor Linghui aged day by day. He was clearly forty years old, but now he looked like a sixty-year-old man.

Emperor Linghui spoke up and asked, "Are you back?"

His voice was a little low and sounded emotionless.

Song Yusheng greeted the emperor and replied, "Yes."

Emperor Linghui straightened his expression and asked, "Can't you find it?"

Song Yusheng hadn't even arrived yet, and he was almost assassinated, let alone looking for someone. However, he didn't tell the truth, and only said, "Something happened on the way, and I was delayed for a while near Baishan Town. Later, I went to Yunjing Town to look for someone, but couldn't find him."

Emperor Linghui knew that it would take at most twenty days to travel from Kyoto to Yunjing Town and back by horse. Adding the time spent searching for people in the villages and towns, it would not take more than a month. However, Song Yusheng had been gone for more than two months, so something must have happened during that time.

However, since Song Yusheng didn't say anything, he had no interest in asking more. When he heard that he didn't find anyone, Emperor Linghui's face showed no expression. The hope in his eyes completely disappeared, and he looked even more dejected than before.

He smiled and said to himself, "It's fate, it's fate! It was me back then. It's all my fault. I caused her to be in such a state. It was me who failed to save her. Even if she is alive, what's the use? She will not be willing to come back and see me, her father, again. This child has been holding grudges since she was young. I punished her to kneel once, and she would blame me for half a year. I don't know where she is hiding this time. She refuses to come out."

He muttered in a mysterious voice, "Misfortunes are the root of blessings, and blessings are the root of misfortunes... Just die, it's good to die. We are born naked, and we will die naked."

Emperor Linghui looked a little crazy, his words were nonsense, and he even started to cry, "They all want me to die! They all want me to die. But I just don't do what they want!"

"You killed my teacher and now you want to kill me. Why? Why!" He roared like a wild beast, with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

The palace maids and eunuchs nearby were so shocked that they fell to their knees.

Song Yusheng looked at him with some disgust and turned his eyes away.

Emperor Linghui vented his resentment for a long time, and finally collapsed on the throne dejectedly. If he was an old lion, exhausted, with tears on his face, he would be gasping helplessly at this moment.

Song Yusheng said, "If the emperor has nothing else to do, I still have to go to the Dali Temple to report, so I will withdraw first."

Just as Song Yusheng finished speaking, a man walked in from the palace entrance. It was Fang Xiu, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department.

This man was white-faced and beardless, and was over sixty years old, but he looked more energetic than the Linghui Emperor who was forty. When Fang Xiu was in his twenties or thirties, when the late emperor was still a prince, he had been by the side of the Linghui Emperor, taking care of his daily life. At that time, Fang Xiu was just a little eunuch. Later, after the late emperor ascended the throne, he also entered the Silijian.

After the previous emperor passed away and Emperor Linghui ascended the throne, Fang Xiu naturally took the position of the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department and became a high-ranking official whom everyone in the palace had to respect as "Ancestor".

Emperor Linghui ascended the throne at the age of nine, and was still just a young child. People in the palace were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation, and they only knew the "old ancestor" but not the emperor.

Fang Xiufang was walking all the way from the palace when he heard that Emperor Linghui was angry. He took out a "magic pill" from his arms and handed it to Emperor Linghui. He said, "Your Majesty! Why are you so angry?"

Emperor Linghui did not answer him. He reached out and took the pill from his hand, put it in his mouth, and after swallowing the pill, he finally regained some consciousness. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

After sobering up a little, he pointed at Song Yusheng who was still standing in the hall and said, "Qian, whether you have found it or not, since you are helping me, I will make a promise to you, except for the one I promised you before. You know, I don't have much ability, so I will do whatever you want as long as it's not too much."

Since Song Yusheng helped him, he should be rewarded even if he didn't find the person. He didn't trust others to do this, so he only dared to let Song Yusheng find the person, because he only trusted Song Yusheng.

Although the Jinyiwei were the minions of the emperor in all dynasties, Emperor Linghui did not trust them. The Jinyiwei were not pure, and if there were any dirty people among them, they might kill his daughter.

Fang Xiu didn't know that Emperor Linghui had asked Song Yusheng to go look for someone. He kept wondering what he was looking for. Was it a person or an object? If they were looking for someone, why didn't they let the Jinyiwei go? Why did they ask Song Yusheng to go?
Could it be that he was looking for someone he shouldn't be looking for? He was afraid that the Jinyiwei would find out, and he was even more afraid that there were spies among them. Fang Xiu was full of thoughts, thinking about this and that for a while, and he was determined to go back and check.

When Song Yusheng heard what Emperor Linghui said, he naturally stopped refusing. After thanking him, he walked out. Only Emperor Linghui and Fang Xiu were left in the hall.

Emperor Linghui's eyes were filled with fatigue. He looked at Fang Xiu leisurely and said, "I asked Qi'an to help me find Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi, you still remember her, right? She was my poor little daughter. You don't need to look for her anymore. If Qi'an can't find her, she must have died long ago."

Fang Xiu lowered his head when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty is serious. I dare not."

When Emperor Linghui heard this, he sneered, "Don't dare? What else do you dare not do?"

However, he was unwilling to say more about this matter. He just waved his hand and asked him to step aside.

When Song Yusheng came out of the hall, he saw Wen Chu curled up like a quail beside him. He approached the two of them, looked at Wen Chu, and said coldly, "What a success."

Wen Chu muttered quietly: "I am useless, so why did you bring me out here to embarrass myself?"

Song Yusheng had a smile on his face as usual, and said calmly, "Ten more boards."

Dongyue understood what he meant, and for a moment she was gloating. This little Taoist priest loves to talk back, and someone will finally be able to deal with her. Song Yusheng glanced at Dongyue and said, "You can go back and get ten lashes."

How could these ten lashes be compared with her ten boards? Dong Yue was stunned for a moment, thinking that he might be punished for talking too much. He and Wen Chu had fought for this place from Yuhui Hall, and thought that the master would not care, but he was waiting here.

The two men who received the punishment followed Song Yusheng out of the palace with their heads lowered, one lower than the other, like eggplants hit by frost, looking listless.

They were all thinking about something and their minds were wandering elsewhere. Dong Yue was thinking about the ten lashes, which would hurt him to death. Wen Chu was thinking that the number of lashes would probably pile up to a hundred before tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Song Yusheng suddenly stopped while walking, and Wen Chu bumped into his back. Although Dong Yue was also thinking about something, his reaction speed was much faster than Wen Chu. When Song Yusheng stopped, he came to his senses at once and stopped as well.

Song Yusheng's back was thin and she couldn't bear the impact. She felt the pain and took a few steps back. She reached out and rubbed her nose which was hurt.

I looked up and wanted to ask Song Yusheng what he was doing, but then I stopped and saw two people standing in front of me.

One of them was wearing a red robe with a round collar and narrow sleeves, and a black gauze hat. He had a tall and elegant figure, and looked refined and gentle.
This person is the current crown prince Li Weiyan.

The other person was Qi Ziyuan, whom she ran into on the street yesterday.

Song Yusheng was greeting the two of them.

Crown Prince Li Weiyan said to Song Yusheng, "Qian, you don't have to be so polite. I just haven't seen you for a while. I thought something happened to you. I'm glad you're back now."

Song Yusheng cupped his hands and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Crown Prince."

The Crown Prince said, "You have been studying with me in Wenhua Palace since we were young, so we can be considered classmates. Why are you so unfamiliar with me?"

In theory, Wenhua Hall was the place where the crown prince studied, and the most knowledgeable ministers were appointed to teach him. When Emperor Linghui ascended the throne at the age of nine, he was taught in Wenhua Hall. Later, after he gave birth to the crown prince at the age of sixteen, he continued to study in Wenhua Hall until he was twenty years old.

During these eleven years, Emperor Linghui would get up at 3:00 pm and attend the morning court at 5:00 pm. After the court was dismissed, he would sit in the Wenhua Hall to study history, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and practice calligraphy and recite the classics. If he could recite well, Prime Minister Song would praise him with a pleasant face. If he could not, he would start a long lecture and question him as a strict teacher.

In terms of study and learning, the little emperor was disciplined in this way. In terms of life, if he did anything that was not what the ancient saints and wise rulers would do, he would be sent to the Empress Dowager Cisheng. When the Empress Dowager was angry, she would even go on a hunger strike to make her determination clear, saying things like "God is cruel, I failed to teach you well, I have no face to face all living beings, since this is the case, I might as well die cleanly" and so on.

Often at such times, Emperor Linghui would be so frightened that he would break out in a sweat and say, "It's all my fault! Mother, please punish me!"

Then, the emperor knelt for half a day in the Cining Palace, the empress dowager's bedroom. It is no exaggeration to say that the little emperor knew every brick in the Cining Palace, where there were cracks, which bricks were dirty, etc., better than the palace maids.

Emperor Linghui lived like this for eleven years, day after day.

During these eleven years, Emperor Linghui had been constantly prepared, and his spirit was almost worn out. But he understood that he was the emperor, and these were what he should do, and there was nothing wrong with it, it was the way it should be.

Later, Emperor Linghui no longer had to go to Wenhua Palace, but the Crown Prince entered Wenhua Palace at the age of fourteen.

Because Song Yusheng was an outstanding person with extensive knowledge and good conduct, he was taken by Prime Minister Song to be the companion of the crown prince. People in the court had no objection. After all, they had witnessed Song Yusheng's character, and they naturally wanted to have such a person by the side of the crown prince.

Later, Song Yusheng was going to take the imperial examination and got a job, so naturally he didn't have to stay in the palace anymore.

Judging from the current situation, several emperors are competing for the throne, but it is obvious that the Song family supports the crown prince. Not to mention that the former chief minister of the Song family, the late Duke, had served as the imperial tutor twice. Moreover, the crown prince was born in the imperial palace, so they must stand on the side of orthodoxy.

Wen Chu was watching Song Yusheng and Li Weiyan chatting over there, and was so distracted that he even forgot to put down his hand that was covering his nose.

But Li Weiyan asked, "Qian, did you just come out from your father's place?"

Song Yusheng nodded and said, "After all, I have been away from the capital for several months. Now that I am back, I should report my safety to the emperor." He also asked, "Your Highness is also going to look for the emperor?"

Li Weiyan nodded and said, "Qi'an just came back, so maybe he doesn't know. Someone in the court recently said that they want to rebuild a road from Kyoto directly to Nanjing. But you know, even if there is no direct road from Kyoto to there, it is not impossible to go there in a roundabout way. It will only take three days longer at most. It was the Minister of Works who proposed this idea. I don't know what he was thinking of, which is a waste of money and manpower. "

The Minister of Works was named He Hong, and he was the younger brother of the Empress Dowager's mother's He clan. As a result, even if this matter was not feasible, it would remain on the table in the court, and no one dared to reject it, but few people would agree to it either.

As Li Weiyan spoke, he sighed and shook his head. Qi Ziyuan, who was standing by, didn't have a close relationship with Song Yusheng, but he also spoke up at this time: "There is already a canal and other official roads, but he still wants to build more. Why else could it be?"

Isn't it just waiting to make money from it?

Everyone present knew this, but no one said it out loud.

The northwest has gradually settled down. Qi Ziyuan had returned to Kyoto a few years ago. This year, he participated in the military imperial examination and passed the exam. Now he works in the Central Military Governor's Office. Empress Xiaoyi's health has been getting worse in recent years. Some time ago, she caught a cold and is still not getting better. Qi Ziyuan went out with those people yesterday. After getting drunk, he ran into Wen Chu and thought of Li Zhaoxi. He was too worried for a while and drank to relieve his sorrow. Later, he forgot about it. I just remembered this early this morning and planned to take a look at Kunning Palace before I went to work in the office.

As a result, before Xiaoyi got up, he happened to run into the Crown Prince who was also going to visit the Queen, and the two of them walked together.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, the Crown Prince said, "It's almost dawn, and it's almost time to roll. I won't say any more for now."

Song Yusheng bowed in response.

The Crown Prince walked away, and just as he was about to pass by Wen Chu, he suddenly stopped.

"Little Joy"
