"Your Highness, there is a letter from the Imperial City!" Xiao Hongyong jumped off the horse, and the soldiers on the side hurriedly came over to lead the horse.

"Knock on Your Highness, the letter of the Imperial City." Xiao Hongyong handed the envelope in his hand to Qin Yuyi, Qin Yuyi was much taller than before, and he already faintly had the height of an adult man, plus he had been practicing the method of forging his body, and his figure was slender and powerful.

"A letter from the Imperial City?" Qin Yuyi opened the envelope, looked at the content of the letter and slowly frowned, "Ah Yong, according to the previous plan, leave the first army and the third army, each guarding Huangsha City and Yong'an City, and the second army will return to the imperial city with me." ”

"But something happened to the Imperial City?" Xiao Hongyong's face changed slightly, the first army and the third army are all strong generals personally trained by His Royal Highness in the past year, and even the cavalry team of the second army is almost comparable to the northern tribes that live on the grassland all year round.

"My father is critically ill, and the third emperor brother is starting to move." Qin Yuyi frowned and looked in the direction of the Imperial City, thinking of the letter sent by the teacher before, "The Imperial City is going to be unstable, and His Royal Highness should go back to serve the sick." ”

Xiao Hongyong is not stupid, so he naturally knows how stupid it is to stay in the northwest at this time.

Qin Yuyi has always ordered forbidden his soldiers, saying that he would set off with his troops, packed up his things early the next morning, left a letter for Ji Fengsu, and asked his henchmen to send them over and lead thousands of people from the second army all the way to the imperial city against the wind and snow.

According to the information given by the teacher, if his guess is correct, he will definitely encounter an ambush by the Three Emperor Brothers along the way, but I don't know where he will choose.

"Brother Xiao, aren't you worried about Your Eighth Highness?" Hu Li leaned on the windowsill, looking at the bright moonlight outside, and asked while squinting his eyes to absorb the moonlight.

Xiao Qiao sat cross-legged on the futon next to him, forming a perfect cycle between one breath and one inhalation, and when he heard Hu Li's question, he chuckled: "What are you worried about?" If His Royal Highness wants to become strong, these things must be experienced by him, and if he can't hold on, it is also his own life. ”

Hu Li opened his eyes and turned around to lie on Xiao Qiao, "But aren't you his teacher?" ”

"If you're a teacher, you have to arrange everything for him, right? That's to nurture him, not let him spread his wings. After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, he didn't let Hu Li pounce anymore.

It's not that he really doesn't care about Qin Yuyi at all, it's just that Qin Yuyi has Xia Er left him by his side, as well as a man and a woman sent over later. If he can't come back like this, then he will give up on him and support the younger Ten Princes again.

Xiao Qiao opened his eyes, hugged the fluttering Hu Li into his arms, lowered his head and was about to kiss him, Hu Li subconsciously trembled and turned into a little fox.

Xiao Qiao rubbed his tail with a smile and began to tell him about the current situation in the imperial city.

Emperor Huiming's critical illness was unexpected, it stands to reason that Emperor Huiming would be critically ill five years after he was reborn, and now it has only been three years, and he is unexpectedly critically ill. There is only one explanation, and some people can't hold it back.

Among the adult princes, there are only King Jin and King Rui, but King Rui is a person who doesn't care about anything, and now he doesn't know where to go, although the possibility of his attack cannot be completely ruled out, but King Jin is more obvious.

As for the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, he knows the situation of the Eighth Prince clearly, and the Seventh Prince and Concubine Ning most hope that Emperor Huiming can live for a few more years, and it is best to live until the Seventh Prince is an adult and has enough strength and capital.

Even though the Ten Princes and their biological mother Jade Guiren have been quite favored for the past year, the Ten Princes are only nine years old now, and there is no backstage behind the Jade Guiren, and it is simply a fool's dream to fight for the throne of the emperor.

"How's your majesty doing now?" Hu Li's glutinous voice sounded, his little head was up, and his red eyes were round, completely different from the narrow eyes of his human form.

"Fortunately, there is no news from the palace for the time being, and it is nothing to think of coming to His Majesty before the year." Xiao Qiao pinched Hu Li's tail, rubbed left and right, and only pinched Hu Li's soft lie in his arms, his round eyes were full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

Xiao Qiao held the little fox in front of him, kissed his round eyes and wet nose, and said with a smile: "I sent someone to invite a master to come over and make you your favorite salt-baked chicken, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Hu Li was instantly changed the topic, and the little fox turned into a human form again in a flash, dragging Xiao Qiao to run out, regardless of the wind and snow outside.

Xiao Qiao reluctantly put the thick cloak on him and tied it, and let him drag him to the small kitchen. The small kitchen was warm, and the master was directing a few other people in the small kitchen to give him a hand, and after seeing Xiao Qiao and Hu Li, he simply nodded and said hello and continued to work.

Xiao Qiao and Hu Li didn't care about his seemingly contemptuous attitude, Hu Li didn't care about these rules, Xiao Qiao knew that the master he invited from the gluttonous banquet was notoriously strange, as long as he was cooking, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu came, he nodded and greeted him.

The master chef's temperament is strange, but the things made are so delicious that you can bite off your tongue, and before the dishes are made, Hu Li's eyes began to glow green.

Xiao Qiao saw him squatting next to the master and looked fascinated, so he went back first, although he was resting today, there were still some affairs of the Hanshan Pavilion that needed to be dealt with.

Although the Hanshan Pavilion was mainly for Xiao Qiao to serve in the court, each important minister or the palace arranged one or two people more or less, most of them were some rough servants, and a very small number of them came to the door as guest secretaries. However, the development momentum of Hanshan Pavilion in the past two years has been rapid, and Xianshan Island has already received the news, and has always wanted to send people to take a look, if possible, I want Hanshan Pavilion to move to Xianshan Island.

In the palace, there were people kneeling in a circle outside the emperor's bedroom, a wave of concubines, and a wave of ministers from the previous dynasty.

"What about Little Four? Are you back? Emperor Huiming's face was so decayed that he couldn't tell that he was still alive and well a month ago and went to participate in the royal hunt.

"Your Majesty, Lord Rui is already rushing back, and he can return to the imperial city in three days at most." Father-in-law Fuming took a wet handkerchief and gently wiped the back of the emperor's hand, and said in a low voice.

"Where's Hachi?" Although Emperor Huiming fell ill, he was not confused, his illness came strangely, but he had not yet found out who did it.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth has also rushed back, saying that he has already left the northwest." Father-in-law Fuming respectfully wiped Emperor Huiming's body, bowed his head and stood quietly to the side.

As the chief eunuch of the palace, he knows the most timely and most about the news of each palace and the court, and naturally knows some things that Emperor Huiming does not know, but he has no need to tell Emperor Huiming.

If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed!

Others helped him find his family, and he naturally wanted to repay the favor!

Emperor Huiming said that he was sick, and even the hospital had issued a notice of critical illness, but Emperor Huiming kept breathing. When King Rui came back, he used to talk to King Rui for a while.

Qin Yujia looked at Emperor Huiming, who had a sallow face, and felt a little indescribable in his heart. When he was young, Emperor Huiming was a piece of heaven above his head, because he was smart, he was very loved by Emperor Huiming, but his mother had a special status, and he told him since he was a child, and he belonged to the rivers and lakes rather than the palace.

Now, Emperor Huiming has fallen, and the tall man who once could lift him up has become weak, weak, and even suffering from illness.

"Father, you take care of it, I'll write a letter to the master and ask him to find a miracle doctor to show you." After all, he is his father, and he will never watch him die without doing anything.

"Good boy, go ahead." Emperor Huiming was extremely tired, and after finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and Qin Yujia retreated softly, "Father-in-law Fuming, I bother you to bother more, help me watch my father and emperor more." ”

"Don't worry, the old slave is provincial." Father-in-law Fuming bent down and replied respectfully.

Emperor Huiming's illness dragged on for a long time, but it did not continue to deteriorate.

King Jin's face turned blue in the mansion, and he dropped a piece of porcelain on the ground, "How about it, have you found anyone?" ”

"Found it, lord, it's just dead." After the man standing at the door finished speaking, King Jin's face became even more ugly, "Have you found out who did it?" ”

"Back to the prince, I didn't find it, this person was extremely careful and didn't leave any useful clues."

"Are there any of our people in the hospital?" King Jin's face was gloomy, and the man nodded, "Also, it's just that that person is a medical envoy who grabs medicine, so there is not much chance." ”

"If the opportunity is not big, you have to find a chance, you go to sue him, you must find an opportunity before the year, and when the time comes, I will not ......believe it" What are the unfinished words of King Jin, as long as someone is here, you can understand it. The man was no exception, he nodded, the expression on his face unchanged at all, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”

The winter in Dayu is not very cold, and the imperial city is even more so, but it starts to snow when the New Year is approaching. It's not as heavy as the snow in the northwest that closes the road every year, but this year's snow is not small.

The people are happy, Ruixue is a good year, next year must be a good year of harvest, and life can be better.

When Qin Yuyi came back, it was just in time for the first snow, and he almost braved the wind and snow all the way, and the second army he brought back was stationed on the outskirts of Gyeonggi, and he rode all the way to the palace gate with a few retinues and Xiao Hongyong.

The guards guarding the palace gate watched a small group of horses rush over, all of them waiting for the battle, only to find that they were returning from the northwest when they got closer.

The civil officials may be more concerned about the achievements of the Eight Princes in the northwest in the past year, but most of the military attaches are more concerned about the bravery of the Eight Princes in the army. Several guards had also heard of the Eighth Prince, and seeing that they were covered in wind and snow, they hurriedly asked people to open the palace gate.

The Eighth Prince rode to the inner palace gate before dismounting, Xiao Hongyong followed the Eighth Prince into the palace gate, and several other entourages followed the little eunuchs to rest for a while, drink some hot water and eat something.

"Father, the son is back!" Qin Yuyi knelt in front of the window with a respectful expression, "Erchen lives up to his trust, the northwest has all been surrendered, and there are also two tribes in the northern tribe who have surrendered to my Dayu." ”

"Okay, okay, get up and let my father see." Emperor Huiming's expression was much better, he sat on the bed, looked at Qin Yuyi, who already looked like an adult man, and patted his hand, "Well done!" ”

"Father's body doesn't matter, right?" Qin Yuyi has been in the northwest for more than a year, and he has become more and more adept at acting, which is very different from the appearance when he secretly ran into the dormitory two years ago and asked Emperor Huiming to allow him to join the army.

"Nothing." Emperor Huiming thought of the clues he had found, and his face was gloomy for a moment, but he looked at Qin Yuyi and smiled again, Xiao Si and Xiao Ba are both good, but they are really powerless to return to the sky, and Da Yu will not fall.
