"Wake up, the emperor is awake." Li Nian kept looking at the emperor's face, and at this moment, the emperor finally opened his eyes slowly, and the expression on Li Nian's face finally showed joy.

"Ahem." The emperor seemed to feel uncomfortable in his throat, and he cleared his throat at the moment.

"Father." The voices of the three people sounded at the same time, which shifted the emperor's attention from Li Nian's face to the other three.

"You're here." The emperor wanted to raise his hand, but he was powerless to put it down.

At this moment, the small discomfort of the body finally turned into unbearable fatigue.

Seeing that the emperor was a little distracted, as if he wanted to ask something but couldn't ask, Li Nian knew in his heart, and hurriedly comforted the emperor and said:

"The imperial doctor said that this was caused by the emperor's tiredness, although state affairs are important, but the emperor should also pay attention to his body." Li Nian's words revealed a sense of concern, which made the emperor unconsciously feel a warmth, and immediately nodded and said to Li Nian:

"It looks like I'm going to have to rest a little bit more in the future."

"The emperor is willing to think so, and the concubine's heart has finally been let go." A smile appeared at the corner of Li Nian's mouth and said to the emperor.

"Father, please also focus on the dragon body." After Ren Tingyou said this, he couldn't help coughing twice.

"The prince's body has not yet recovered, and now the weather is tired." The emperor turned his head to look at Ren Tingyou, who was in a bit of pain at the moment:

"It's better to go back to the prince's palace to rest early."

"I keep your filial piety to me in my heart." With the emperor's words, Ren Tingyou also seemed to be relieved.

"That being the case, the sons and daughters retired first."

"Go ahead."

After Mo Qiu pushed Ren Tingyou to leave, Ren Qixiu immediately stood up:

"Today, it scared the son, the son knew that his father was worried about the country, but for the sake of his father's dragon body, he also asked his father to rest more."

Cheng Rang didn't speak, and all the limelight at the moment was given to Ren Qixiu.

"Eighth child, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not here, don't you know how to speak now?" Ren Qixiu put on a posture of an elder brother and educated Cheng Rang, and at the same time, he pointed out in his words that Cheng Rang should have something to do with Ren Tingyou.

Ren Tingyou seems to be more like Cheng Rang's shield.

Sure enough, when this sentence came out of Ren Qixiu's mouth, even the emperor was waiting for Cheng Rang's answer.

"Back to my father, my son is just waiting for the third brother to finish speaking, and then he can speak."

"The son-in-law knows that he is weak, and he can't solve problems for his father like the third brother, but when the father needs the son-in-law, the son-in-law will naturally go to Nanzhou to fight the fire."

"You." Ren Qixiu just wanted to speak, saying that Cheng Rang was quibbling, but was stopped by the emperor.

"A few of you, I all know that there is filial piety, the current affairs of the court, Prince Ning is doing well, and there will be the prince in the future, you, just sit back and relax and be your eighth prince." The last sentence of the emperor, the smile on his face, is the most common expression that the emperor shows to them when the mother and son are being favored from the future.

At this time, it was as if everything was the same as before.

"Erchen should also grow up, but he is still the eighth prince of his father."

Ren Qixiu listened to the conversation between Cheng Rang and the emperor, and he couldn't help but think of the past, when the two of them were in a deep relationship between father and son, he and Ren Qizhi were still under the fence.

That was the past that Ren Qixiu didn't want to think about, and he didn't want to intervene at the moment.

Li Nian watched the emperor say something to them, still a little tired, so he glanced at Cheng Rang, who was very obviously understanding, and immediately got up to say goodbye.

"Okay."

"Go back." The emperor is not as serious as they imagined, and naturally, there is no need for them to continue to stay in the palace.

"The retainers retired." The two spoke together again.

When they first entered the palace, the two of them walked the same way, but now, Ren Qixiu flicked his sleeves, didn't want to pay attention to it, and left from the other side very quickly.

Cheng Rang was not in a hurry to leave the palace at the moment, but walked leisurely in the palace.

Unconsciously, he took Pei Zhi to the gate of the former Concubine Tang's palace.

Not only is it a memory of childhood, but when Xiaocha was in the palace, he also stayed here for a long time.

Cheng Rang looked at the appearance of dead branches and leaves everywhere, and was a little melancholy.

Suddenly, just as Cheng Rang was still nostalgic for the past, a figure hurriedly passed in front of Cheng Rang.

When Cheng Rang didn't even have time to react, the person had not seen him for a long time, and what made Cheng Rang really curious was the side face of the person, which was seven points similar to Xiaocha's side face.

He thought he was hallucinating.

Until Pei Zhi behind him opened his mouth and reminded:

"Master, did you see someone just now?"

"You saw it too." Cheng Rang's words are not doubts but affirmations, so it seems that someone is really coming.

It wasn't dark yet, but it was quiet.

Because Cheng Rang told the emperor that Concubine Tang was dead, the emperor seemed to be a little afraid of touching the scene, and even did not send anyone to deal with Concubine Tang's palace.

Over time, the grass in this courtyard grew higher and higher, and the wind that kept blowing made the grass move with the wind under the moonlight, and it looked more and more infiltrating.

So there were rumors that this Concubine Tang died outside the palace and was unwilling, and the soul had returned to the palace, so that more people did not dare to say that Concubine Tang was in the palace, and what they saw at this moment must not be the palace people.

The side face that He Xiaocha was too imaginary made Cheng Rang unconsciously want to pursue it.

said neatly to Pei Zhe:

"Find."

The tacit understanding between the two made it natural for the two to split into two ways and act separately.

With their skills, they are all top-notch in the palace now, but they have rummaged through the entire Tang Concubine Palace, from top to bottom and from the inside to the outside, there is no gain.

Cheng Rang was a little unwilling, why did Xiaocha disappear like this.

She's back, she's back...

Cheng Rang seemed to think of another person, if Xiaocha really disappeared for a long time and came back, then that person would definitely know.

"Eighth Prince, I really don't know anything." Looking at Cheng Rang who was blocked in front of his yard, the expression on Cheng Ji's face was a little helpless.

Cheng Rang and Pei Zhe were alone, and they simply played a scoundrel in front of Cheng Ji.

"Xiaocha is back." Cheng Rang's words are affirmative, not questionable.

"I don't care about the master's affairs." There is only so much Cheng Ji can tell Cheng Rang at this moment.

"You know." Cheng Rang still spoke firmly.

"No, I don't know." Cheng Ji shook his head, at this time he was trapped in front of the two of them, and he couldn't get out.

"Eighth Prince, can't you check it yourself?" Cheng Ji was a little confused, since Cheng Rang was so sure, with his ability, it was not a simple matter to find out the whereabouts of Xiaocha after returning to Beijing.

Cheng Rang didn't understand this simple truth, but at this moment, in his heart, there was more of a sense of cowardice called homesickness.

He subconsciously avoided investigating this matter, for fear that he would find out something that was difficult for him to accept.

So he came directly to Cheng Rang, wanting to get a positive news from here, just to make himself feel at ease.

As long as Xiaocha is willing to come back, then they will have a chance to meet again.

But from Chengji's words, he heard something else.

"Xiaocha is back." Cheng Rang dropped this sentence, turned around and left.

Cheng Ji silently covered his mouth behind his back, could it be that he just said something.

But forget it, Cheng Rang will know about this sooner or later, so it's better to let him make mental preparations at this moment.

"He got it." This time it was not only Xiaocha, but Mr. Ling also came back.

"Mr. Ling." Cheng Ji looked at him and said.

"Master, did you really find out on this trip?" Cheng Ji didn't dare to say it openly, but only said half of it, and gave birth, Mr. Ling knew it.

"Well," Mr. Ling nodded, maybe he knew about this matter from the beginning, but he didn't want to tell Xiao Cha, but when he accompanied Xiao Cha to see everything with his own eyes, Xiao Cha was naturally full of disbelief, but Mr. Ling couldn't hide it anymore.

"The master must have been very sad at that time." It's not just sad, but now Chengji's sentence is difficult to summarize Xiaocha's former psychology.

After all, he is just an outsider, and some things, although they are seen objectively, they are also alienated.

"What does the master want to do when he comes back this time." Cheng Ji tried hard to cheer up and asked Mr. Ling something pleasant.

Mr. Ling looked at Cheng Ji, but what he said to him made Cheng Ji not expect:

"Get married."

"Huh?" Cheng Ji was taken aback, this and this, looking at Xiaocha, it didn't look like he was going to marry Cheng Rang, otherwise he wouldn't have let himself not tell Cheng Rang anything.

"Tease you." The smile on the corner of Mr. Ling's mouth at this time made Cheng Ji breathe a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

"I thought it was real, it scared me to death." Cheng Ji patted his chest as if he was still quite afraid.

But what Mr. Ling said next to Cheng Ji was not a joke:

"The master came back to help the leader of the Sixteenth Road Moon ascend the throne, and at the same time, some clues were also found about the empress."

"Empress!" While Cheng Ji was surprised, he couldn't help but sigh that Xiaocha was still Xiaocha after all, and the things that he couldn't find out became so simple when he handed them over to Xiaocha.

After leaving from Chengji, Pei Zhi looked at Cheng Rang's expression, thinking about whether to persuade Cheng Rang to see Xiaocha again, but unexpectedly, Cheng Rang said a few words to him:

"Let's go home."

It was as if all the strength of the whole body had been exhausted.

Pei Zhe saw Cheng Rang escape for the first time, but he didn't know why.

Cheng Rang is more than love for Xiaocha.

The two of them would be like this, they didn't expect it, and they didn't dare to speak rashly at this moment.

Whether it is Zhixing or Pei Zhe, they can only silently stay by Cheng Rang's side.

But in the palace, tonight is not peaceful.

Because of the emperor's afternoon incident, Li Nian specially instructed the emperor to rest well, so the palace seemed more quiet at the moment than at ordinary nights.

But the palace people did not dare to slack off, the emperor and the crown prince were both sick, for fear that they would cause any more trouble, and when the time came, there would be only one way to die.

Therefore, the surrounding atmosphere has a sense of martial law.

But at that time, looking at the appearance of Cheng Rang and Pei Zhe leaving the palace, Yuan Qiu, who was beside Xiao Cha, also glanced at Xiao Cha, but from the side face, Xiao Cha's eyes didn't seem to be just looking at Cheng Rang.

"Master, or..."Yuan Qiu thought that Xiaocha regretted it, and just wanted to persuade Xiaocha, maybe everything was still in time.

Unexpectedly, Xiaocha became firm at this time, and said to Yuan Qiu without hesitation:

"Let's go."
