Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

No matter how reluctant it is, the day of parting has come.

In the early morning of November 26, sacrificing to the god of passing, Emperor Yuan Jia and his entourage set off to return to Beijing under the escort of the Son of Heaven and the elite of the Liaodong Army.

Seeing the badger village getting farther and farther away, Zhang Lihu and Zhang Li sighed lowly, and sadness suddenly came to their hearts, but they looked down at Xiao Ping'an sleeping in their arms, and they eagerly looked forward to arriving in the capital soon.

Considering that Emperor Yuanjia's body was not suitable for long-distance travel, he walked very slowly along the way, and at most every other day, he had to go to the market town or village to spend the night once, so that Emperor Yuanjia could rest well.

When I arrived at the boundary of the capital, it was already the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and tomorrow would be Chinese New Year's Eve.

This is still because Emperor Yuanjia was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the New Year, and he did not accept the officials of the places he passed through to worship the holy car on the road.

Seeing that he couldn't make it to the city today, Emperor Yuan Jia simply ordered to rest in the post house for a night, and then return to Beijing early tomorrow.

After freshening up, Emperor Yuan Jia and Zhao Guifei leaned on the head of the bed, thinking that the bright days when the two of them were alone was coming to an end, and they would soon be separated by yin and yang, and their moods were very low.

Zhao Guifei nestled in Emperor Yuan Jia's arms, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Stop crying." Emperor Yuan Jia wiped away the tears on Zhao Guifei's face distressedly, and gently comforted, "Since you and I don't have much time left, we should cherish it even more." Be happy every day, don't let me go with regrets......"

"I don't want you to say that!" Zhao Guifei hurriedly raised her hand to cover Emperor Yuanjia's mouth, and choked up, "When you return to the capital, the Holy Lord will quickly issue an edict to summon the world's famous doctors and enter the palace to treat you!" I don't want to stay together for a short time, as long as I stay together for a lifetime! ”

"Okay, well, listen to you! Stop crying. Look, they're all about to cry like flower-nosed cats. Emperor Yuan Jia replied with a smile, raised his hand and scraped Zhao Guifei's crying red nose.

"Hmm!" Zhao Guifei nodded emphatically, wiped away her tears, raised her head and said aggrievedly, "Then the saint is not allowed to say those frustrating words again!" ”

"Okay, okay, everything is up to you!" Emperor Yuan Jia said with a smile, "We want to live a long life and stay together for the rest of our lives!" ”

Zhao Guifei burst into tears and laughed, nestled in Emperor Yuanjia's arms, gentle and submissive.

Emperor Yuan Jia looked at Zhao Guifei in his arms, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

His body knows that he is like this, and he can survive a year and let him handle everything after his death, which is already a blessing from God, where do you dare to expect a long life and stay with Zhao Guifei for the rest of his life

Zhao Guifei still came up with ideas freely and gently, and counted the world's famous doctors: "...... By the way, there is also Liu Zhenren, who is proficient in alchemy and You Shanqi Huang's technique, the Holy Lord can send someone to Zixia Mountain to summon him into the palace to treat you......"

Emperor Yuan Jia smiled absentmindedly, but his heart was bitter: When he goes, the rest of his life will be long, how lonely and helpless Zhao Guifei should be......

Also sleepless late at night is Han Yan's family of three.

"Your Royal Highness, tomorrow you will enter the palace in Beijing, Weichen and his wife can't be by your side all the time, you have to deal with everything carefully, don't be careless." Han Yan was worried and repeatedly admonished.

Xiao Wangzhi was very scared, but he didn't know that he couldn't retreat at this time, so he nodded and gritted his teeth and responded: "I'll be careful!" ”

Han Yan sighed, patted Xiao Wangzhi's shoulder gently, and said, "When you first enter the palace, you will definitely attract a lot of temptations and even malicious targets, but don't be afraid, the Holy Lord will arrange everything."

"When the time comes, Wang Ping will lead the Liaodong Army to guard, and together with the Son of Heaven's guard, he will be responsible for your safety.

"One more thing, you must remember that after entering the palace, no one should easily believe it, including Empress Dowager Zhao and Queen Wang."

Empress Dowager Zhao can protect the Qi King Liu Min under the secret decree of Emperor Yuan Jia, and she must have her plans. Xiao Wangzhi's sudden entry into the palace will definitely disrupt her plans, and when the time comes, it may be uncertain which side Empress Dowager Zhao will help.

Although Xiao Wangzhi was puzzled, he still nodded seriously and wrote it down, and asked again: "Then what am I going to do?" ”

"Don't do anything." Han Yan said, "An An will stay in his own palace separately, be his own prince, and wait for the arrangement of the saint." ”

Xiao Wangzhi is now Emperor Yuan Jia's only choice and bargaining chip, and Emperor Yuan Jia will definitely not do anything unfavorable to himself. At this time, the more Xiao Wangzhi does, the more he is wrong.

"Well, I remember!" Xiao Wangzhi nodded heavily, then turned his head and asked Shu Yu, "Does my aunt have anything else to tell me?" ”

In the past month or so, he has worked hard to get rid of his old habits and become more like a dignified and majestic prince, and this kind of thing has already come with his mouth open - even if, in his heart, Han Yan and Shu Yu are still his "father" and "mother".

Shu Yu raised his hand and touched Xiao Wangzhi's head, and said with a smile: "Take care of yourself."

"You became a prince and returned to the palace, so naturally someone else will take care of your food and clothing according to the rules. I just can't even worry about it......"

"Aunt......" Xiao Wangzhi's eyes were slightly red.

Han Yan coughed, glanced at Shu Yu, and signaled her not to invite the child to cry.

Shu Yu understood, and hurriedly put away the reluctance and worry in his heart, forced a smile, and refined his family routine: "So, I took advantage of the work along the way to make several underwear and cotton robes, socks, sleeve cages and other trivial items for you." Wearing it inside, others can't see it, and it's comfortable for you, which can be regarded as a thought.

"Also, I also prepared your favorite preserved fruits, bacon and other foods. It's the middle of winter right now, and these can be stored for a long time, enough for you to eat for a while. When you're done, it's time to get used to the food in the Imperial Dining Room.

"And ......"

Shu Yulala said a lot of complicated things, and finally explained: "I will hand over these things to Wang Ping to bring for you, and when you turn back and enter the palace, you can ask him for them."

"If it's not enough, what you want to eat, wear, or play, just let Wang Ping go out of the palace and deliver a message, and I'll prepare it for you!"

Xiao Wangzhi was moved and sad, and he didn't care about the majesty of the prince, he hugged Shu Yu's waist and didn't let go, and his tears smudged the spots on Shu Yu's cotton jacket.

Seeing this, Han Yan had the heart to remind Xiao Wang, and then thought that after today, Xiao Wang lived alone in the palace, even if he wanted to be coquettish, he couldn't do it, so he could only cry silently by the two of them.

Snorted, Han Yan red-eyed, went outside to guard the door for the two of them.
