That night, Yun Chi left the capital with 100,000 soldiers and horses.

With him leaving, there were also Jing Guogong, Cheng Zixiao, and Su Qingmian.

Yun Chi originally planned to leave Jing Guogong in the capital, only with Cheng Zixiao and Su Qingmian, after all, these two people were very helpful on his trip, Cheng Zixiao was in charge of grain, grass and silver money along the way, he and Cheng Guzhi were brothers and sisters after all, Cheng Guzhi was in charge of grain and grass dispatch in the capital, and the two brothers understood each other in order to cooperate well and not let the grain and grass go wrong, and Lingnan is mountainous, and the things made by Su Qingmian can be used for marching and fighting, especially the large kite he made, which can fly dozens of miles from the top of the mountain, which is very good for the raid.

But Jing Guogong personally pleaded, saying that there are King Anyang, An Shuli, Cheng Guzhi, Five Princes, Mei Shuyu and others in Beijing, and he stays in the capital, which is also idle, it is better to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Lingnan, he is a general, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot go out to fight, he is idle in the court, not to mention, he feels that his sword is not old and can be used.

Yun Chi thought about it for a while, and felt that it was good to let Jing Guogong keep up, Jing Guogong had been learning the art of war since he was a child, and he was the best at marching and fighting. With him to follow, you can point him out a thing or two, so he took Jing Guogong with him.

The Chinese military officials of the DPRK had no objection to this, and the prince personally recruited them, although they did not agree with it, but they could not put forward a reason for their opposition. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is able to be civil and martial, and going to Lingnan in person is obviously the most necessary decision to make after struggle.

The crown princess has just been rescued, and everyone knows that His Royal Highness the crown prince is reluctant to go to the crown princess, if he has to go, he is categorically reluctant.

Hua Yan sent Yun Chi outside the city gate, and in front of 100,000 soldiers and horses at the foot of Beijing, she bowed her hand as the crown princess, "Lingnan Road is far away, I hope Your Highness takes care." I, like the millions of people in Southern Chu, all hope for His Highness's peace. Ladies and gentlemen, this trip is hard! Your Highness's safety is in your hands! He returned to the court every day, and I still stand here to greet you in triumph. ”

As soon as her words fell, 100,000 soldiers and horses burst out into a shout, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Chitose!" Chitose Crown Princess! ”

Yun Chi looked at Hua Yan deeply, stepped forward, helped her up, and reached out to hug her.

The soft body was pressed against his arms, and he could clearly feel that her lower abdomen was kicked, as a husband and father, his heart swelled with countless reluctance, but as the prince of Nanchu, he was full of pride.

His women, his children, his country, his world.

Although he has understood the responsibility on his shoulders since he was a child, it is not as deep as this moment.

Yun Chi gently hugged him again, and after letting go of Hua Yan, he turned over and rode away, never looking back.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses followed him in an orderly manner.

Jing Guogong was wearing armor, stepped forward, patted Huayan on the shoulder, and said, "You are a month old and need someone to take care of you, although the servants of the East Palace are dedicated, but in the end it is not worrying, after I leave with His Royal Highness, let your stepmother accompany you to live in the East Palace." With her, Your Highness and I are also relieved. ”

"Okay." Hua Yan nodded, "Father-in-law, take care, you will definitely return safely." ”

"Hmm." After Jing Guogong put on the armor, the whole person was very energetic, "I have been in the capital all these years, and I am about to get hairy, this time, I finally have a place to use." Don't worry, I'm still looking forward to the birth of His Royal Highness, and I will teach him the art of war. ”

Hua Yan smiled, "What my father-in-law said, then he will be waiting for you." ”

Jing Guogong laughed.

Cheng Zixiao and Su Qingmian stepped forward, both of them were also very excited, men probably like to go to the battlefield, they are bloody, it seems that only on the battlefield can they express the pride in their hearts.

Hua Yan saw the excitement of the two of them, it was rare to be selected to leave with Yun Chi, she smiled and said, "In the coming day, you will return to the court, I will prepare wine and food for you." ”

"Okay." Cheng Zixiao raised his eyebrows, "I hope soon, we can all welcome the birth of His Royal Highness with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Su Qingmian nodded heavily, "What Zixiao said is what I want to say." ”

Hua Yan's smile spread, "Take care." ”

The two said no more and turned over the door.

Hua Yan stood in place, watching the figure of 100,000 soldiers and horses disappear into the night, until she couldn't see it, she still couldn't retract her gaze for a long time.

Mama Fang stepped forward and whispered, "Crown Princess, let's go back!" The night is dark, and if you catch a cold, it will not be good. ”

"Okay, let's go back." Hua Yan nodded.

Mama Fang helped Hua Yan into the carriage, and the East Palace guards escorted her back to the city.

Yun Chi left Beijing, did not make much movement, and had already ordered that the Chinese military officials should not be sent to each other, so as not to make the people in Beijing uneasy to watch this battle, so that even An Shuli did not come, but only sent it outside the city gate.

Hua Yan sat in the carriage, stretched out her hand to cover her heart, and was robbed by Su Zi during that time, she was probably thinking about saving her life and thinking about how to get rid of Su Zi Zhi, so although she often thought of Yun Chi, her heart was not empty, and now, sending him away like this, her heart felt empty, reluctant to do it, this full of emotions, she couldn't suppress it.

Although the night in the capital is also lively, it is still quieter than the day.

Hua Yan became more and more unbearable in this quiet, reaching out and touching her lower abdomen, thinking that if she was not pregnant, she was afraid that she would become a burden to Yun Chi, and she would follow him wherever he went.

Mama Fang sat in the carriage with Hua Yan, watching the princess's complexion leave under His Royal Highness the Prince, after she got into the carriage, she showed a strong reluctance, which made her unbearable to look at it, and she was very distressed, thinking about the husband and wife in the world, the most difficult, I am afraid that it is not as difficult as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, because she has endured too much, but it looks even more silent as the sea deep, higher than the sky.

She was afraid that Hua Yan would hurt herself if she went on like this, so she hurriedly spoke softly, "Crown Princess, otherwise, I will take the Duchess of Guo to the East Palace to accompany you today." ”

Hua Yan raised her head, her thoughts stopped, and she said softly, "The stepfather left, although the stepmother looked free and easy and didn't even come to see her off, but in fact, I am afraid that she is also hiding at home, afraid that people will laugh at her like a little daughter. ”

Mama Fang nodded, "The Guogong Mansion is already sparsely populated, and now there is only the Duchess of Guogong left, so it must be very lonely." ”

"Go pick it up!" Hua Yan bowed, "I have my stepmother living in the East Palace with me, she has to take care of me every day and divert my attention, so I guess I won't have too much time to dream." ”

Mama Fang should be, and gave an order outside the car, and the carriage went to the Jingguo Mansion.

For so many years, the DPRK and China have been peaceful, there is no military war, even if there was a military battle in the southwest last year, there is no need for Jingguo Gong to go out, Jingguo Duchess and Jingguo Gong's young husband and wife, only have one son, and Lu Zhiling has been a muddy child since he was a child, and he doesn't love his family, so the husband and wife have been together for many years.

Duke Jing Guo left suddenly, and Mrs. Jing Guo was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, although she did not go out of the city to see each other, she walked in the courtyard, and her heart was also empty, feeling that the huge Guogong Mansion had few servants and a simple population, and now it was even more indescribably empty.

She thought, tonight is destined to be sleepless, a handful of age, why can't she be unsteady and reluctant to let go of the old man?

She walked around and around, thinking that she should have left the city a long time ago, but she didn't know how far she had gone, when someone hurriedly came to say, "Madam, the crown princess is here." ”

"The crown princess?" Duchess Jingguo immediately stopped the chaos and turned around suddenly, "It's so late, why is the crown princess here?" But what happened? As she spoke, she walked out.

The little servant immediately said, "Madame Hui, the crown princess did not enter the mansion, only at the door, sent the little one to ask the lady, saying that the grandfather said before leaving, let you go to the East Palace to accompany the crown princess, she just sent His Royal Highness the prince back from outside the city, and came to pick you up by the way, and asked you can go to the East Palace today?" ”

Duchess Jingguo paused, and said without thinking, "Go, go naturally, you go and tell the crown princess quickly, let her wait, I'll clean up and go." ”

The little guy should be, and immediately went to reply.

Duchess Jingguo hurriedly returned to the house.

The maids and ladies hurriedly helped the Duchess Jingguo clean up, and the Duchess Jingguo explained, "Go and call the housekeeper, I will give you a few words." ”

One of the maidservants went at once.

Not long after, the housekeeper came, and the Duchess Jingguo said that he should take care of the housekeeper carefully, and be optimistic about the Guogong Mansion, she was not in the mansion, and she couldn't relax, and said that if there was anything to go to the East Palace to find her, before the princess gave birth to His Royal Highness, or before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing, she might live in the East Palace.

The housekeeper replied again and again, he was an honest and steady person, and suggested, "Madame pack less things, and send someone back tomorrow to get them, don't let the princess wait for a long time." ”

"yes, I know." Duchess Jingguo nodded, and when she saw that she had packed up a few clothes and supplies, she took two personal maidservants out of the room.

Hua Yan didn't wait long outside the Jingguo Mansion when she saw the Duchess Jingguo coming in a hurry, she was in too much hurry and sweating. Hua Yan picked up the curtain and said with a smile, "It's not too late, so my stepmother doesn't have to worry." ”

"That won't keep you waiting too long." Duchess Jingguo smiled and got into the carriage.
