Gao Zhen walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace and did not leave directly, but found Cao Taihe, the general of the Zhuguo State who escorted him and the prince into the palace. Before entering the palace, he entrusted Zhao Wei to this General Cao to take care of, and now that he wants to go back to the palace, he can't leave his friends behind.

General Cao failed to get the honor of entering the Qianqing Palace, so he was still guarding outside the Qianqing Gate, and when he heard Gao Zhen ask about Zhao Wei, he laughed and said: "The people under the last general are accompanying him, he doesn't worry about you, he is still waiting outside the imperial city, the prince wants to find him, and he can see it when he goes out of the Chengtian Gate." ”

Gao Zhen solemnly thanked General Cao for taking care of his friends for him, and General Cao naturally didn't take it seriously: "What's this?" Our family and the Zhaojun Mansion are also friends in the world, and the last general will watch Brother Wei grow up, and treat him as if he were his own nephew. Even if the prince didn't explain, the last general wouldn't let him run around outside. Now there is still chaos in the capital, if it weren't for Brother Wei'er's insistence on waiting for the prince to come out, the last general would have sent him back to his house long ago. In case something happens, not to mention that the last general has no face to see the old lady of his family, he will go back to his own home, and the last general's mother will not spare the last general. ”

Gao Zhen smiled faintly, on the sea road to Beijing Road, because the day was long and boring, Zhao Xiu often chatted with him, talking about the experience of the two after they separated, he naturally knew that the public of Jiannan County went to tea and cool, and the only one who maintained close friendship between Beijing and the Zhao family was the family of the general of the Zhu State, Cao Fu, which shows that the Cao family is pure. It is also for this reason that among the many generals in the capital, the prince and he both trust Cao Taihe the most, and before entering the city, when they think of finding someone to escort them, they first consider him.

Now the big picture is decided. When the crown prince ascends the throne, he urgently needs a military general with prestige in the army to help subdue those troops who once leaned towards King Ying, presumably Cao Taihe will be the first choice in the prince's mind, right?

Gao Zhen left the imperial city. Immediately, I saw Zhao Wei waiting on the side of Chengtianmen, and seeing that his face was full of anxiety and worry, my heart couldn't help but warm and greeted him.

Zhao Wei was overjoyed when he saw him, and went straight over and asked, "How is it?" You okay? 一qiē顺lì? ”

Gao Zhen smiled and nodded, and said: "The emperor's grandfather's poison is fine, and my father has also cleared up all the rebels lurking in the palace." Now the ministers are discussing how to deal with King Ying, and they will send people to Shanghai to arrest Hong Wencheng and them. Grandpa Huang also said. and I will make my grandmother my heir. ”

Zhao Wei's eyes lit up, and he also thought of the benefits of Concubine Jiang Shu's immediate future: "Great! It's finally raining and the sky is blue! "Not only can the crown prince and the king of Guangping breathe a sigh of relief in the future, but even the Zhao family no longer has to worry about being unlucky one day.

Gao Zhen smiled slightly: "Grandpa Huang said that he wants to reward your family." It's just that now the palace is in a mess. There is still a lot of work to be done in front of the Emperor, and this reward may not be available for some time. ”

Zhao Wei smiled and waved his hand: "It's not important, the important affairs of the imperial court are important, our family has been waiting for so many years, what is the point of waiting a few more days?" He asked again: "King Ying's henchmen should all be arrested, right?" ”

Gao Zhen nodded: "It should be, but this matter is handled by others, and it has nothing to do with us." ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "It's really irrelevant, it's just the people of our family in the future." I think it's time to be quieter next to my ears. After laughing, he said: "Since Jingzhong will be able to calm down soon, I should also send someone to Tianjin to pick up my sister." Although there is Jiang's family to take care of. I have nothing to worry about, but we have a house in the capital, so we should go back to our own home. Grandmother must have been in a hurry to wait in Songjiang, and I will send a letter back to report her safety. ”

Gao Zhen nodded, touched his sleeve pocket, and wanted to return the dagger that Zhao Xiu borrowed him to Zhao Wei, but he didn't need it now, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again. He silently thought that maybe when Zhao Xiu returned to the capital, it would be better for him to return the dagger to her in person. Speaking of which, Zhao Wei didn't seem to know that Zhao Xiu lent him the dagger......

Zhao Wei borrowed two horses, resigned from General Cao's subordinates, and left with Gao Zhen. The Guangping Palace, where Gao Zhen wants to return, is located in the west of Qianhai north of the imperial city, but the Zhao family's small mansion is in the area of Gulou Street, located in the northeast of Qianhai. The two places are only separated by a Shichahai, in fact, it is not far, so the two walked together for a while, and parted ways halfway, Gao Zhen returned to the palace, and Zhao Wei had to cross the silver ingot bridge to the Gulou Street in the east of Qianhai.

Gao Zhen rode back to the Guangping Palace, and the head of the palace had already received the news and greeted him excitedly: "The prince is back!" The prince and princess are all worried! What a blessing from the Buddha! ”

Gao Zhen tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "My father is still in the palace to accompany the emperor, and I can't come back for the time being." What happened to the mother's condition? It's not a big deal, right? As he walked, he entered the house, and then he saw a carriage and horses parked in front of the second gate, and the style of the carriage was very familiar, and even the coachman was not unfamiliar.

The smile on Gao Zhen's face faded. The head of the palace looked at his face and said in a low voice: "The old lady of the Zhong family has brought Master Zhong, Mrs. Zhong and Miss Zhong over, and is talking with the princess in the princess's courtyard." ”

The coachman of the Zhong family actually recognized Gao Zhen, but he hesitated for a while before squeezing out a smile, and came forward to greet Gao Zhen: "I have seen the prince of the world......" Before the words fell, Gao Zhen had already raised his legs and left, ignoring him.

Gao Zhen entered the palace all the way, and the palace servants he saw along the way were overjoyed when they saw him, and they saluted him one after another. He replied with a straight face and nodded, without even returning to his own yard or changing his clothes, he went directly to his mother's main courtyard. The Zhong family is really here, and the few mothers-in-law and girls standing in the courtyard are all from the Zhong family, and when they saw him come back, they all showed strange expressions, and they all bowed on their knees: "I've seen the prince." "The prince is back?"

There was a sudden silence in the main room, and the originally elevated voice came to an abrupt end.

Yanyun and Yanxia hurriedly lifted the curtain when they went out, and when they saw Gao Zhen, their eyes were red. When the news of the prince's accident came, Princess Zhong of Guangping was worried about the prince and her son on the other, and their maids were also frightened, and now they were naturally very excited to see him return safely.

Gao Zhen smiled at the two familiar maids, but suddenly saw a slender and beautiful figure bump out, and looked at himself with a look of surprise: "Cousin is back?" My aunt is so worried, and even my grandmother, mother, and I have been looking forward to you! ”

Zhong Yazhi, his cousin who is half a year older than him, has been beautiful since he was a child, and he is also familiar with poetry and books, and knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Gao Zhen once thought that his mother would marry this cousin for him in the future. Although he didn't have a relationship with her, he didn't have a feeling of dislike for her. It's a pity that the actions of the Zhong family have made him lose his appetite, and now even if Zhong Yazhi is beautiful, he will not miss half of his old friendship anymore.

Gao Zhen looked at Zhong's elegant smiling face coldly, turned his eyes away from her, and fell on his mother, who was trembling in the room and wanted to get up and walk towards him. His nose was slightly sore, so he walked over quickly and knelt down in front of her: "Mother, my son is back." ”

Zhong hugged his son suddenly, tears falling down his eyes, and all his worries and fears have been swept away these days. She couldn't care about anything else at the moment, as if she had forgotten all kinds of quarrels between Fang Cai and her parents, and only concentrated on holding her own son, reminiscing about the happiness and joy of reunion.

Zhong gracefully walked back to his grandmother and mother, and was glared at by the latter, as if he was reproaching her for failing to attract Gao Zhen's attention. She bowed her head aggrievedly.

Mrs. Zhong had a loving look on her face, and softly persuaded her daughter Princess Zhong of Guangping: "Okay, okay, Shuyi, the child has returned safely now, you should be happy, why are you crying like this?" You're just getting better, don't get too excited, beware of fainting again for a while. He also instructed the maids: "Yanyun, hurry up and get your princess's medicine and give her a pill." ”

Yanyun hurriedly responded, Yanxia stared at her back hatefully, and complained in her heart: Yanyun forgot that she was no longer the girl of the Zhong family.

Gao Zhen silently patted his mother's back and slowly calmed her down: "My son is fine, except for being taken aback when the dam collapsed, soaking in the water for a while, and suffering nothing." The son followed the prince and met the family of Zhao Jungong, and he was immediately saved, and he was also smooth on the way back to Beijing. Just to hide people's eyes and ears, avoid the search of the anti-party, and dare not report safety to Jingzhong, which makes the mother worry, it is all the son who is not filial. ”

Zhong Shi had calmed down a lot, and choked up when he heard the words: "It's good that you have nothing to do, when the news came, your father always said that no news is good news, if there is something, the people below should have reported it a long time ago." Although I believe your father's words, I am always afraid in my heart, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He also scolded those who rebelled against the party: "What God kills, it should be cut with a thousand cuts!" ”

Old Lady Zhong's face was a little uncomfortable, because among the guys that her daughter cursed that should be cut with a thousand cuts, there was also her youngest daughter's husband. If she could, she hoped that her youngest daughter and his wife would escape.

Mrs. Zhong's expression was much calmer, at this time she didn't plan to go to Gu Xiao's sister-in-law's family, who told Ma Wanyan to do what fell in the eyes of the prince? Now she just wants to keep the Zhong family.

Yanyun took the medicine, Zhong Shi glanced at her, and said very coldly: "No need, I'm not sick, I don't need to eat this." Go out and wait. ”

Yanyun was stunned, and then showed a look of panic, wanting to justify, but just saw Gao Zhen looking at him coldly, and that look made her shiver involuntarily, and finally retreated uneasily.

Yanxia watched her figure disappear outside the curtain, and sighed in her heart.

Old Lady Zhong was uneasy, she seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help but say to Zhong: "Shuyi, I know you are not happy to hear me say those words, but no matter how you say it, it is also your own brother and sister." Can you just bear to watch them die? Your brother and your brother-in-law were confused, and they did something wrong after being coaxed into a few words. When I knew it, I was so angry that I almost fainted, and I hated to beat them up! But I was angry again, and I couldn't bear to watch them die. For the sake of the family, you should help them!
