Yan Yan didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, she just calculated that the other party should go back to the palace when the other party really returned to the palace.

This man is too careless.

But no matter what, this is definitely good news for Yan Yan, therefore, seeing that the Queen Mother was looking forward to the prince with her neck stretched, Yan Yan couldn't stay and delay the ancestors and grandchildren to catch up, so she took the initiative to leave.

The queen mother didn't keep her, and even forgot the reward given to Lu Jin, she was only looking forward to seeing this grandson, if she didn't know that Li Ji was discussing with the emperor and several ministers in the south study, she would have ordered someone to urge her.

Fortunately, Yan Yan can also understand that she herself is in a hurry to come back to see Qingyu Qingyun, and she also wants to know what happened in the past six months, how the prince was arrested, how he was rescued, and who Zhou Lu is.

And so on and so forth.

Therefore, when he came out of Cining Palace, Yan Yan didn't care about visiting the queen and the crown princess, and went home directly.

As soon as the car entered the gate of Mingyuan, Yan Yan asked the porter about Qingyu and Qingyun, and learned that the two were waiting in the upper room, Yan Yan couldn't wait to hand over the child to Lu You, and as soon as the carriage stopped, she jumped out of the car.

And Qingyu and Qingyun also ran out when they heard her coming back, and they didn't care about saying anything, so they knelt down in front of her first to admit their mistakes.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if you want to say thank you, it's me who thanks you two." Yan Yan personally helped the two people up, and then looked at the faces of the two of them first.

"Lady, if you have anything to say back to the house, you are not in good health." Lu You handed the child in his hand to Qing Glaze and pushed Yan Yan forward.

Qingyun Qingyu and the two of them had already learned from Qingmiao's mouth that Yan Yan had really hurt a lot of vitality when she gave birth to a child this time, so they didn't say anything, and hugged Yan Yan and walked in, but took the child from Qingglaze's hand and looked at it again.

After entering the house, Yan Yan ordered Qingxiang to take Qingxiu Qingmai out, and at the same time ordered Qingmiao to stay in the hall and not allow anyone to come in, and then she asked what they had experienced on this trip.

According to Qingyu Qingyun and the others, the way to the road was quite smooth, and the prince also followed Yan Yan's advice to find a person who was somewhat similar to him in height and appearance, this person was selected by the prince himself in the Imperial Forest Army, and when he left the capital, the other party changed into the prince's clothes.

This matter naturally couldn't be hidden from Lu Duan, and Lu Duan knew that this was Yan Yan's clever plan, instead of being angry, he was very cooperative, after all, he also knew that the identity of the prince could not be missed.

After the border inspection, Lu Duan and his entourage disguised themselves as merchants and borrowed the route from the Khitan to the Jurchens, and even in the Jurchens they did not encounter any trouble.

Of course, it is not clear what the specific prince and the Jurchen Khan talked about, but they know one thing, and it seems that the peace talks are going well, because they have stayed in the Jurchens for ten days and began to go back.

In order to shorten the journey, they still borrowed the road from the Khitan, but when they were about to reach the border of the Great Zhou, they were suddenly stopped, and the other party detained them on the grounds that they were not businessmen.

At first, Lu Duan didn't take it into his heart, thinking that the other party was trying to extort them a sum of money, but when Lu Duan found out that they had emptied the money, the other party still wanted to take them back to the Khitan capital to go to Beijing, and then he realized that they might be recognized by the other party.

But at that time, the balance of power between the two sides was too great, and Lu Duan did not finally confirm whether they were exposed, so he could only follow them into Shangjing.

After arriving in Beijing, Lu Duan and the fake prince were soon invited into the palace, and the real Li Ji was also brought into the palace as an entourage, but Qingyu Qingyun and Dajiang Dahe were imprisoned in a room as subordinates.

Lu Duan and the real and false princes were sent back before dark, and then their group was imprisoned in a heavily guarded courtyard, in which Lu Duan and the false prince were respectively detained in two different small courtyards, and there were many people guarding outside, but they did not restrict their freedom in the house, and they were also entertained with delicious food and drink.

The guards were also divided into several different courtyards, and even the big rivers were guarded, but Qingyu and Qingyun were free, because their identity was a cook, and they needed to cook, and the prince spoke, and he couldn't get used to their local food, so he only ate these two cooks.

In this way, Qingyu Qingyun had the opportunity to contact them, but every time they delivered food, they were followed by two Khitan guards, so it was not easy for them to rescue these people.

Two days later, Lu Duan, the prince and others were brought into the palace again, and after coming back, Qingyun Qingyu knew that the other party had seen through the fake prince and recognized the real prince, so Li Ji was locked up alone.

But Qingyu and Qingyun didn't find out who the inner ghost was, but the top priority for them was how to save the prince, otherwise, not only would their lives have to be explained, but I was afraid that Yan Yan would also have to eat and fall.

The opportunity has finally arrived.

On this day, Yeluda, the prince of Khitan, brought a group of entourages to the door, saying that he wanted to have a detailed discussion with Li Ji.

Qingyu Qingyun specially baked a few cakes with local cheese, and the fragrance of the cakes quickly attracted Yeluda, so he asked Li Ji what kind of fragrance it was.

Knowing that it was a foody aroma, Jeroda was intrigued, as it tasted similar to their cheese, but much sweeter than cheese.

As he was talking, Qingyun and Qingyu came in with a tray, in addition to their newly made cakes, there were also a few bowls of hot almond and chestnut tea, which were said to be eaten with cakes.

Despite the current food, Yeluda did not lose her vigilance, and let Li Ji taste it first, and after Li Ji tasted a small piece of each pastry, Yeluda picked up a fork and put a piece of cake into his mouth, and then followed Li Ji to learn and drink a sip of hot almond chestnut tea.

"Prince Qiyu, I just passed by the stove room and saw a few leg of mutton, why don't we eat hot pot at night?" Qingyun saw that Li Ji didn't seem to have much appetite, so he proposed.

Although Li Ji didn't know the reason why Qingyun did this, he knew that the other party would never make this suggestion for no reason, such as this almond chestnut tea, Li Ji knew that these two things could not be drunk together, and if they were drunk together, it would definitely cause abdominal pain and other problems, so he just tasted it.

It was Yeluda, who saw that Li Ji was fine after eating these two things, so he ate a few pastries on the plate according to his good appetite, and of course, the big bowl of almond and chestnut tea also entered his stomach.

Fortunately, Qingyun and Qingyu saw that he had eaten all the cakes on the plate, and went back to bring the remaining pieces to Yeluda's guards to taste, in order to show Qingyu Qingyun's sincerity, the two of them each tried a little first.
