"Twitter, twitter—"

Early in the morning, the big in the mountains and forests near the North Peak Manor chirped happily, Zhou Xuan woke up, but refused to open his eyes, feeling that Yang Xiaofeng was still in his arms, and his hand reached over, a lump of plump and greasy in his hand, gently kneaded, tender as cheese-

"Childe-" Yang Xiaofeng moaned lowly.

When they got up, it was already the second pole of the day, after washing, the two went to meet Han Derang and Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan insisted on Zhou Xuan and Yang Xiaofeng going to Nanjing to live for half a month, and said that at the end of June, it was faster to return to Tang by sea ship from Liaodong, which was faster than the land route, and should be able to catch up with the delivery of Princess Qingle.

Although Zhou Xuan didn't want to go, he couldn't refuse, so he said: "Okay, let's leave today, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are the pillars of the Liao Kingdom, and it is always inappropriate to stay outside this famous mansion." ”

Zhou Xuan was about to send someone to the Wulu Inn in the city to call the remaining soldiers and Yu Linwei to the north, but he saw Li Paijun and a commander of Yu Linwei, and a somewhat familiar Tang Guowu Ben hurriedly came, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, he knelt down and said: "Guogong, there is an urgent letter in the East Palace to summon Guogong to return to Jinling at night." As he spoke, he presented a letter with the seal of the East Palace.

Zhou Xuanyi was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to read the letter, so he asked Wu Ben first: "Are you a guard of the East Palace?" ”

Na Wu Ben said: "Yes, Hua Yuanping, who is a lowly position, has always been on duty in the East Palace. ”

Zhou Xuan asked while drawing the letter: "What happened to the DPRK?" ”

Hua Yuanping said: "Yu Guogong, Your Majesty suddenly fainted on the 21st of last month when looking at the court in the Qinzheng Palace, called the imperial doctor for emergency, said that it was a wind disease, His Majesty is now speechless, half of his body is paralyzed, His Royal Highness the Prince urgently summoned the Duke of China to return to the country to discuss matters, a line of six people, since the 23rd of the previous month left Jinling, day and night, rushed to Kaifeng but learned that the Duke went to Mount Tai, all the way to find it, fortunately found the Duke of Guo, please return to China immediately. ”

"Emperor Li Yu is paralyzed with a cerebral hemorrhage!" Zhou Xuan looked at Li Jian's urgent letter, his brows were deeply locked, his father-in-law Lin Dai said at the beginning, Li Yu is benevolent and loves the people, and is deeply loved by his subjects, Li Yu is alive and the king Li Kun should not dare to move, but as soon as Li Yu dies, Li Kun will inevitably make trouble, and now Li Yu is paralyzed by the wind, and he is hoarse and unable to speak, Li Kun is likely to be in trouble, the situation in Jinling can be described as imminent, and now it has been more than a month since Li Yu became ill, in the end, Li Yu's condition has improved? Or has King Jing Li Kun started to make trouble? None of this is known.

Zhou Xuan was really anxious, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Jinling, Liao Guo must have been unable to go, so he immediately went to Han Derang and Xiao Xuan to resign and report that Li Yu was seriously ill.

Xiao Sui knew the situation of the Tang Kingdom well, and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, Jinling is not very peaceful, if you go back at this time, maybe you will fall into a whirlpool and can't extricate yourself, the battle for the throne is cruel, you and Hao'er still go back to Liaojing with me, and only decide to stay when the situation in Jinling is initially decided, how about it?" ”

This Empress Dowager Chengtian of the Liao Kingdom is bent on leaving Zhou Xuan and Yang Xiaofeng in her Liao Kingdom.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said: "The crown prince Li Jian is now in his wings, King Jing is difficult to shake, with me going back to help the prince, Tang Guoan is like a rock, and the emperor is seriously ill, my son-in-law does not rush back to greet him, what will he look like in the future, do the two adults of father-in-law and mother-in-law want the son-in-law to be such a disloyal and unfilial person?" ”

Han Derang said to Xiao Xuan: "Queen Mother, let Zhou Xuan go back, this matter is without delay, the sooner the better, with Zhou Xuan in the Tang Kingdom, I can also compete with the Song State in the future, and Xuan's son-in-law's foundation in the Tang Kingdom cannot be lost." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Okay, virtuous son-in-law, you hurry back, since Hao'er is pregnant, go back to Liao with me, and when the situation in the Tang Kingdom is settled, you can take him back to China, so it's always okay." ”

Zhou Xuan glanced at Yang Xiaofeng beside him, he didn't want to be separated from Feng'er, but what Xiao Xuan said was also reasonable, and when he was hesitating, Yang Xiaofeng spoke: "Father, mother, Hao'er will definitely return to Jinling with Xuanlang, and if I leave Xuanlang, I don't think about tea and dinner, and it hurts my body." ”

Xiao Sui looked at this daughter who had been separated since childhood, looked at her stubborn and calm eyes, and said in her heart: "Feng'er's temperament is still very similar to mine, and I can't convince what I decide, just let her go." Then he said: "Feng'er is determined to go back with Zhou Xuan, it's okay, go in two batches, Feng'er can't ride a horse and bump, can only take a boat, Zhou Xuan takes care of himself and takes people to go first, I will send someone to send Feng'er to Jinling by the canal before the end of June." ”

Zhou Xuan immediately nodded and said, "Okay, that's it." Approaching the face holding Yang Xiaofeng, he kissed her the lips, and said, "Hao'er, you come later, I will take the first step." ”

Yang Xiaofeng knew that she couldn't delay, and tried not to let the tears flow, and said with a smile: "Xuanlang go quickly, I can rest assured here, my father and mother will take care of me, and I will definitely return to Jinling at the end of June." ”

Han Derang instructed Zhou Xuandao: "Virtuous son-in-law, Hao'er's identity is special, and it is not suitable to be made public for the time being. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "The son-in-law understands that if he has time next year, the son-in-law will definitely take his mother and son north to Liaojing to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

Zhou Xuan left six personal soldiers as Yang Xiaofeng's guards, he and the four idiots, Murong tassels, Lihu and others quickly returned to the city, left the Daimyo's Mansion in the afternoon of the same day, rushed to the canal, hired four boats, went down the river, crossed Liangshan Bo, until Jining, and sent two Yulinwei to Kaifeng in Jining, to the Song Emperor Zhao Heng to confess, explain the situation, can not come to Kaifeng in person to resign, and let the two Yulinwei go to Tianbo Mansion to deliver a letter, to see if Yang Zongbao returned to Kaifeng?

After more than ten days, Zhou Xuan and his party of forty people or take the canal waterway, encountered the canal is too detouring, then get off the boat and ride the horse, rush to the next place and then take the waterway, so day and night, there is no burden all the way, only the four idiots often feel chest pain, and it is not good to say to Zhou Xuan, untie the white satin that binds the chest, secretly rub it, and it is not good, very annoying, thinking about returning to Jinling to pretend to be a woman, and find a female doctor who has never met to see her, although Qin Que is very convenient, but the four idiots never want to find Qin Que to treat her.

The group returned to Jinling on a sweltering evening on 13 June, and the two soldiers who had entered the city to hear the news took Lin Heishan out of the city.

Zhou Xuan saw that Lin Heishan did not have an unusual demeanor, knowing that the court was still stable, and King Jing Li Kun should not have made any trouble, so his heart was relieved, and he asked: "Brother Heishan, is Your Majesty in good health?" ”

Lin Heishan saw that Zhou Xuan rushed back, and he was also very relieved, since Li Yufeng was dumb and dumb, Li Jian was restless, Zhou Xuan's absence in Jinling made Li Jian feel very helpless, and King Jing Li Kun took the opportunity to carry out a large-scale activity, and the think-tank guests led by Gan Simou in King Jing's Mansion frequently entered and exited the mansions of various ministers, and their intentions were self-evident, just waiting for Li Yulong to return to the sky, Li Kun and his party were about to launch a change to seize the heir.

Lin Heishan held Zhou Xuan's arm and shook it vigorously, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Xuan, you have finally come back, but your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a hurry, so you will go to the East Palace with me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first." After listening to Zhou Xuan's question, he replied: "Your Majesty has been in bed for almost two months, and his condition has not improved, he can't speak or walk, his mind is still clear, and only the queen mother understands His Majesty's mind." ”

Zhou Xuan immediately ordered the four idiots, Murong Tassel and others to return to Xiangluanfang Guogong Mansion first, he wanted to go with Lin Heishan to see Li Jian, and he also went to the palace to visit the emperor's father-in-law.

Murong Tassel was a little embarrassed and said, "Childe, I'll go to the East Palace with you." ”

Zhou Xuan is a very careful person, and immediately understood that Murong Tassel is now nameless and shareless, and few people in the mansion recognize her, Jingyi Fairy and Lin Hanyun sisters, as well as cumin, although they recognize her, they are not a good impression, Murong Tassel was an undercover enemy at that time, so if there is no Zhou Xuan to lead, it will be very embarrassing for Murong Tassel to go to the Guogong Mansion.

Because of the long journey, Murong Tassel is also dressed in men's clothes, as Zhou Xuan's personal soldier to follow to the East Palace, it will not be abrupt, Zhou Xuan smiled: "Okay, the tassel follows me, the fourth child, Lihu, you go back to the house first to report the news, let everyone wait in the house, I will not be back until late at night." He said to the four idiots again: "Fourth, go back to the house and let Qin Que give you the number and pulse, I see that your face is not right, don't hide the disease and avoid the doctor." ”

The four idiots' faces suddenly turned red, she always thought that she was hiding it well, but she didn't expect Zhou Xuan to see it earlier.
