After agreeing with Shen Yiqing to return to Beijing tomorrow, Shen Changge went to see Qu Wanru.

After all, she knew each other, and now that she was leaving Jinzhou, she thought about quitting.

Qu Wanru was a little surprised after hearing the news that she was leaving.

"Is Su Gongzi going to leave so soon?"

"I came to Jinzhou to play, and after staying for a few days, it's time to go back." Shen Changge smiled.

Qu Wanru heard this, and couldn't help but feel a trace of loss in his heart: "If you say goodbye today, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future." ”

"If it's fate, I'll see you again." Shen Changge said.

If Qu Wan knew that she was the crown prince, he would not have said such a thing.

After all, she is also the daughter of Shangshu, even if she has lived in Jinzhou since she was a child, it is possible that she will return to the imperial city in the future.

After returning to the Imperial City, it is naturally possible to meet.

After following Qu Wanru, Shen Changge left Qu Mansion and went back to the inn to find Fengxian, and asked her to arrange for the members of Drunken Hongchen to go back first.

After that, he asked her to go back to the imperial city with her.

After everything was ready, the group left Jinzhou in a carriage.

……

Half a month later.

Jinzhou ushered in the emperor's special ministers.

The first thing Qin Cha did when he came to Jinzhou was to investigate Du Zhang, the prefect of Jinzhou, and after finding out the conclusive evidence of his corruption and bribery and enriching his own pockets, he immediately dismissed him from his post and investigated him.

Until he took off his official uniform and was imprisoned, Du Zhang couldn't understand why the imperial court suddenly sent a messenger to investigate him?

He didn't know that as early as half a month ago, the crown prince and the regent had come to Jinzhou.

After handling Du Zhang's affairs, Qin Cha went to Qu Mansion and handed over the letter to Qu Wanru that Qu Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had entrusted him with.

After sending off the Qin Cha, Qu Wanru opened the envelope and unfolded the neatly folded letter.

The maid standing beside her was a little frowning when she saw her reading the letter, so she asked cautiously, "Miss, what does the master's letter say?" ”

Qu Wanru folded the letter again and said, "My father asked me to follow Lord Qincha back to Beijing together. ”

When the maid heard this, she immediately laughed: "This is a good thing, but why is the young lady worried?" ”

"I don't know." Qu Wanru sighed, "For so many years, I have rarely seen my father and mother, and now I want to go back to the imperial city to live with them, I ...... I'm a little unaccustomed to it. ”

The maid persuaded: "When the young lady returns to Beijing, she will naturally not be unaccustomed to getting along with the old lady for a long time." Miss, the slave will go and pack your bags now. ”

Qu Wanru glanced up at her and nodded slightly.

But under his eyes, there is a trace of loneliness.

If she leaves Jinzhou, she doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to see Su Gongzi again in the future.

In the half month that Su Gongzi left, she always thought of that handsome and hearty man from time to time.

His voice and appearance seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she could not forget it for a long time.

But she also knew very well that it was impossible for her and Su Gongzi to go back, so going back to the imperial city this time would be a good thing for her.

In another place, maybe she can gradually forget about Su Gongzi.

……

In the past half a month, Shen Changge and Shen Yiqing and their entourage finally arrived in the imperial city.

After arriving at the imperial city, Fengxian left first and went back to Piaoxiang Building, while Shen Changge and the others continued to the palace.

Palace.

"Mo Chu, you take Huanchun back to the East Palace first, and the palace will go to see your father with your uncle first." After getting out of the carriage, Shen Changge commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Chu answered, and left with Huanchun.

And Shen Changge also went to Zhaoyang Palace with Shen Yiqing.

In Zhaoyang Palace, Emperor Shen De had been waiting for a long time after hearing the news that the two of them had returned today.

Now that he saw the two of them walking in together, he hurriedly put away his anticipation and sat on the dragon chair.

"Weichen see the emperor."

"Son-in-law, see father."

"It's all excused." Shen De said with a calm face, "Prince, where did you go this time when you went out for training?" ”

"Back to my father, my son went to Suzhou and Jinzhou." Shen Changge replied.

Shen De asked again: "Then tell me what you have gained and learned from this outing." ”

He had already said that he would ask such a question, so Shen Changge had already thought of the answer on the way back, and said the prepared words at this time.

What is said is called a voice and emotion, and there is something to say.

Shen De nodded again and again when he heard it, and his eyes looking at her were full of approval.

"That's all Erchen wants to say." In the end, Shen Changge didn't forget to be modest, "Erchen's knowledge and experience are too shallow after all, and you can only see the surface. ”

Shen De said appreciatively: "It's good that you can have such an idea and find out the problem of the Jinzhou prefect." ”

"Father Xie's praise, these are all things that sons should do."

Shen De bowed slightly, and his eyes fell on Shen Yiqing's body: "Yiqing, this time it's really hard for you." With you following the prince, I can rest assured. ”

"The emperor is serious, this is a matter for the ministers." Shen Yiqing said calmly.

No one knows how worried he was when he learned that the crown prince had left Beijing.

At that time, even if there was no emperor's will to ask him to find the prince and protect the prince all the way, he would have done so.

Shen De asked the two of them some more questions before letting them leave.

The two walked out of Zhaoyang Palace together, and when they were about to leave, they saw a graceful figure coming from not far away.

Soon, the other party had already come to the front of the two.

"Lord, His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, Concubine Li is so polite." Concubine Li smiled and bowed slightly to the two.

Seeing this, Shen Changge also arched his hand at her: "Concubine Li is polite, are you here to see your father?" ”

Concubine Li's eyes fell on her, and a flash of excitement flashed quickly in her eyes, but her face remained calm.

"A few days ago, I followed the third princess to learn to make dim sum, and finally some results, so I specially prepared some today and sent them to the emperor to taste."

"Really? Concubine Li has a heart, so she will not delay her mother to see her father and say goodbye first. Shen Changge said, turned his head and glanced at Shen Yiqing, and the two left together.

Seeing that she was leaving, Concubine Li subconsciously wanted to stay, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Shen Yiqing turn around and look at her meaninglessly.

The eyes that were so sharp and deep that they seemed to be able to see through her made her stunned for an instant, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back by her.

Forcibly suppressing the tension in her heart, she tried her best to remain calm and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Wang, the two of you go slowly. ”

It wasn't until the two of them gradually moved away that she felt that her nervous and depressed mood was relieved.

For some reason, she always felt that the eyes of the prince looking at her were full of an indescribable hostility.
