After Kun Yu left, Ling Feng quietly came in and reported: "Prince, the Zhuang households in the soldiers have all returned to their respective homes, and the rest of the people are not counting us, and there are only fifty people from the Cheng family's own soldiers." This is the princess's maiden family, even a hundred people have to pass. ”

Ling Feng also came in to report, and he smiled: "In the cave where the armor is placed, we put in fifty pieces of robes and some farm tools. The robes are still made by the farmers in the afternoon! ”

Now moving armor and weapons from the cave, Zhuang Tou also saw it, and was so angry that someone framed the prince under his nose, the prince suffered, and Dongzhuang couldn't hide. When he returned to Zhuangzi, he organized each household to weave clothes, and installed a door in the cave, which became Zhuangzi's warehouse.

"Good! Let's eat too, keep an eye on the movement outside, and let people keep an eye on Kunyu. Beware of him playing tricks in the Zhuangzi. The prince nodded: "The horse farm just sent twenty horses in the afternoon, so I will pick twenty people to go back first, and the rest will continue to stay in the village to practice." Ling Feng responded and went out to pick people.

Early in the morning of the second day, the prince's four carriages and thirty horses slowly went on the road, and the people here had not yet arrived in the capital, and Zhai Kun had already searched Zhuangzi and returned to the capital to report the situation to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, after the prince left, we searched the entire Dongzhuang and the mountains and forests next to Dongzhuang, within a radius of several miles. There are thirty horses in Dongzhuang, and twenty of them were bought from the horse farm yesterday. Six barracks were also counted, and there were fifty-four bunks in all. Instead, we found a cave with dozens of robes and some farm tools, but we didn't find any illegal military supplies. I don't know whose news is so unreliable. ”

The emperor frowned, and sure enough, he felt that King Kang was a little troublesome. Thinking about it and asking, "Didn't the James Mansion pick up people yesterday?" Why haven't you seen the prince return to the palace yet? ”

Zhai Kun replied: "I went, but before leaving, the princess ...... I had an upset stomach, so I had to stay for one more night, and now they were already on their way back to Beijing, and the carriage was going slower with the crown princess. ”

The emperor remembered that the crown princess was also pregnant, so he nodded and said: "The crown princess is pregnant, and it is difficult for her." Lu Ping, go pick a pair of jade unicorns, and when the crown princess returns to the East Palace, you send her to suppress the shock. ”

Ling Feng took the secret guards back to the Prince's Mansion, and the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess took the girls back to the East Palace. The attendants and palace maids in the East Palace saw that the prince had come back well, and they were all so excited that they burst into tears: It's been four months, without the lord Rao Donggong, no matter how calm you are, it's all a bluff.

Chang Xi took a fresh cypress branch, Chang Le brought a pot of water soaked in grapefruit leaves, and smiled: "Prince, princess, this is what Concubine Ji explained yesterday, let you wash your hands before entering the door, and then pat the corner of your clothes with a cypress branch to get rid of bad luck." No disease, no taboos, 100 children and 100 grandchildren, 100 years old! ”

Qingmei showed a jar to the crown princess, and she smiled: "Niangniang, you came back just in time." This is picked from the beehive on our tree, and it took a lot of effort to get happy yesterday! ”

"Don't stand in the way of the door, let the crown prince and the princess go in first!" Cui Mama smiled and took the cypress branch in Chang Xi's hand, swept the corner of the clothes behind the crown princess, and also chanted: "A hundred ghosts will not invade, and all diseases will be eliminated!" ”

At this time, three people came in from outside the door. Concubine Ji heard that they had returned to the palace, and she couldn't wait for them to go over to say goodbye, so she couldn't wait to run over. She took Xie Ruijiao's hand and looked it up and down, with tears in her eyes: "Although someone has reported peace a long time ago, now that I have seen it, the mother concubine can feel at ease!" ”

Concubine Ji looked at Haitang's stomach again and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you have to run around with a child...... King Cheng has already gone to Qinghe Palace to tell her that the prince was poisoned by Cao Bao and has been cured by the princess. Concubine Ji was very grateful to Begonia.

As soon as the two of them helped Concubine Ji into the palace and sat down, Lu Ping swayed over with a pair of jade unicorns.

Lu Ping greeted a few people, and said with a smile: "The emperor knows that the crown prince and the crown princess returned to the palace today, and specially gave a pair of jade unicorns to the crown princess. ”

The two got up and thanked him, rewarded Lu Ping with a bag of gold leaves, and congratulated him on returning to the emperor on an errand. Lu Ping accepted the reward and left satisfied.

"Begonia, Concubine Dao is about to give birth at any time, but the child doesn't know yet...... We quietly checked in the palace, and the Taoist priest did enter and leave the queen's Chiyun Palace many times, especially in the month when the Taoist concubine was pregnant, she came four or five times! It's okay to have a princess, but it's good to have a prince......"

Concubine Ji was worried: "It's a pity that we don't have evidence, and this kind of thing can't be investigated in a big way." I came in a hurry to remind you that in the past two months, for some reason, the emperor has become moody. Sometimes it's obviously good, but something angers him, and he jumps like thunder. In a moment, you will go over and ask for thanks, and you must be careful not to make your father angry. ”

Concubine Ji had already heard about Concubine Yuan's early dynasty yesterday, but fortunately, the prince did not do anything out of the ordinary, and he came back safely today, otherwise I don't know what strange things would have happened. After explaining a few words to them, Concubine Ji went to Moyu Palace to see the Queen Mother and report her safety.

The prince and the two did not dare to delay, and after changing their clothes, the prince helped the princess to go to the Wuying Palace. Walking outside the Wuying Palace, it happened that he met Concubine Su Niangniang who came out of the palace. Cao Baoli died, Guo Kuan and Lu Ping did not surround the emperor like an iron bucket, and it was much easier for the ladies in the palace to see the emperor.

"The crown prince and the crown princess are back? This palace still thinks that you are going to give birth to the emperor and grandson outside the palace! Concubine Su pretended to smile and said: "It's okay now, a prince and a grandson in the palace are really lively!" ”

The prince and his wife politely greeted her, and they heard the chamberlain come and invite them in.

Haitang walked up to the emperor and couldn't help but be secretly surprised: the emperor's face was full of red light, and it was too abnormal, which was not a good thing, most of it was a heart problem. Also, although the emperor's cheeks are red, there is a faint black qi between his eyebrows, which is commonly known as the blackening of Yintang, which is a sign of liver and kidney problems.

Emperor...... This is not a light illness!

"Are you willing to come back?" When the emperor heard the footsteps, he asked without raising his head. Hearing that the two of them greeted him, the emperor raised his head.

I wanted to yell at my son, but when I saw my daughter-in-law with a big belly, the emperor suppressed the anger that rushed to his heart: "No matter what happens outside the palace, it can't compare to the palace." The crown princess doesn't have to ask for peace in the palaces in the future, and she can raise the baby in the East Palace with peace of mind. If you feel bored, you can let Qing Yao come into the palace to accompany you. The crown prince will go to court tomorrow as it is. ”

After waiting for a while, the emperor was speechless, and the two thanked him. Xie Ruijiao helped Haitang and just wanted to retreat, but the emperor said:

"The prince stays!"
