The next day, Shen Zhirong was promoted to a nobleman, and he moved to another palace by himself with satisfaction, Shi Qingqian said that during this time, the emperor's old illness recurred, and he was afraid that he could no longer continue to be in the harem, so that the concubines had nothing to do and did not bother again.

And Shi Qingqian didn't want Shen Zhirong to be too peaceful, so after discussing with Shen Mi, he decided to release Ji Shulan, who was locked up in confinement. She also proudly felt that the emperor was reminiscing about the old love, but she didn't know that at this time, she was completely used as a pawn, just to block Shen Zhirong.

In the days that followed, Shi Qingqian never found any other clues. The rest of the concubines should be clean, and Shen Zhirong has not exposed anything else.

On the one hand, Shi Qingqian paid attention to whether she had any contact with others, especially the officials of the previous dynasty, and on the other hand, she immersed herself in studying the method of detoxification.

She carefully read the book left by Yu Banxian before leaving, although there was no way to completely remove the toxins in the body, but she found some ways to assist in detoxification, basically using several medicinal herbs that she had not noticed before to make a hot medicated bath to remove the poisons on the surface of the body.

Shi Qingqian couldn't wait to try this method for Shen Mi, although it was true that he could force out some of it, but the poison that had penetrated deep into his body still couldn't be completely cleaned up.

Shi Qingqian had no choice but to give up, after all, it was useless.

Soon, the end of the year came.

Shen Mi received a letter from the five princesses, saying that they had entered the confines of the Yu Kingdom and would be able to reach the capital in a few days. In addition, the letter also said that Dongwu's Wang Tuoba Liangbi would return to Beijing with her, and in addition, they also brought one person with them - the five-year-old son of the fifth princess and the only concubine of Dongwu so far, Tuoba Xun.

As the emperor's brother, he was the emperor of Yu at this time, and when he heard that his brother-in-law and his nephew, whom he had never met, were coming, he was naturally excited to entertain him. There were still a few days before the fifth princess returned to China, so he began to find someone to organize the banquet.

The mood has improved a lot, and the illness on his body is no longer obvious, although he is still coughing, he is smiling when he coughs.

The concubines who newly entered the palace still didn't know the status of the five princesses in the hearts of the emperor and Concubine Tang, and felt that the emperor was too wasteful, so they couldn't help but chew the root of people's tongues in the back, especially the dead and unchanging Xi Shulan. Concubine Tang also sighed again and again, too lazy to bother with her.

Finally, early one morning, this was the first time that it had been cloudy for so long, and as soon as Shi Qingqian walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, he found that the streets were full of a different atmosphere - red lanterns were hung on the shops on the streets, and the people of the capital seemed to get up earlier today than before, talking and laughing, rubbing shoulders one after another, making the whole capital seem to be a little more noisy.

Shi Qingqian was suspicious, and casually asked a common person to ask, and his answer was not as she expected - early this morning, Dongwu's men and horses entered the capital, and the fifth princess returned to Beijing!

"Hey! Miss! As soon as the people's words fell, they saw Shi Qingqian running out like an arrow off the string, and Xue Ying could only say thank you to the people before hurriedly chasing after him, "Miss! Slow down! Watch your step! ”

Where can Shi Qingqian take care of so much? Ran to the palace gate in one breath, hurriedly glanced at the waist card with the guards, and then rushed in.

thought that saying goodbye was goodbye to the good sister who said goodbye to her and came back, Shi Qingqian didn't even want to stick to her all the time, running while thinking, the cold wind hit her face, but she couldn't freeze the tears that overflowed from her eyes, she ran all the way to find a crowded place, so tired that she felt pain in her heart, but she still refused to stop.

"Five princesses—"

Finally, pushing aside the crowd blocking the way, Shi Qingqian finally saw the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar back, and with her shout, the fifth princess Shen Wan also turned around.

"Sister! ——”

The two finally hugged each other tightly, Shi Qingqian hugged her with all his might, as if he couldn't stick to her, tears burst instantly, and Shen Wan was the same, hugging Shi Qingqian tightly, and tears that had endured a lot of hard work also poured out.

She didn't plan to cry, because returning to Beijing was a happy event, she was afraid that if she cried, Concubine Tang and Shen Mi, who would be provoked, would also be sad, but she hadn't seen her mother country for a long time, and now that she finally came back, how could there be no trace of turmoil in her heart? And those overflowing emotions finally completely surged and tilted out the moment they saw Shi Qingqian, turning into crystal tears in their eyes, flowing down the smooth cheeks.

The two hugged in the hall for a while, until Shen Mi stood up and said, "Xiao Qi'er, Wan'er has just come back, you should tell her to sit down and rest for a while", and then they were willing to separate.

"Fifth princess, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you haven't changed the slightest bit from what I remember!" Shi Qingqian smiled with tears, grabbed her hand and said, now she is the queen of Dongwu, and the clothes she is wearing are naturally Dongwu's clothes, but the style is still the same as Yuguo, but a lot of Dongwu elements have been added, "I heard that you gave birth to a pair of children, how about it?" Is it hard to be a wife and mother? By the way, didn't you say that your children came with you? Where is he? ”

Like a curious child, Shi Qingqian kept asking this series of questions, which made Shen Wan laugh.

If it was her back then, she would have laughed presumptuously, but now it is different, Shen Wan covered her mouth with her hand when she smiled, and she had a more dignified atmosphere, "You, you, you haven't changed at all!" How do you want me to answer so many questions in one breath? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough - Xiao Qi'er is a little restless, Wan'er has just entered the palace, and I have a lot of questions I want to ask, but I didn't expect to ask them all in one go!" Shen Mi said, and smiled at Concubine Tang, "Okay, Wan'er heard that you entered the palace every morning, and she specially waited for you, since you are here, let's sit down quickly." ”

Shi Qingqian smiled shyly, and found that he was indeed too anxious, and now there were Dongwu's guests in the hall, she was so hard-working, and her own people were not scolded, so she quickly responded, turned around and went to greet Dongwu's visitors first.

First of all, it was naturally the person who sat in the first place, and she knew that Tuoba Liangbi was also here this time, so it must be him who sat in that position-

She cleared her throat and walked over with her head half-hung down: "The courtier Shi Qingqian sees the ...... of King Dongwu"

I only heard that there was some silence in the main hall, and the person in the position stood up, "Lord Baoying, long time no see." ”
