After another half a month of bumps, Wanning is finally about to arrive in the capital. She remembered Brother Ziang's words, be careful when you are about to arrive in the capital. She didn't know that the queen had already forwarded the letter she sent back from the frontier to the emperor, or that the emperor had no conclusive evidence, and the more fearless she was at this time, the more she could prove her brother's innocence.

She then instructed Yi'er: "Yi'er, order all the guards to stay at least five miles away from our carriage, and my carriage will enter Chang'an City alone." When I get back to the house, you can call them back." ”

"Why?"

"If the emperor wants to get rid of me outside Chang'an City, then I can only prove my brother's innocence without any guards."

"Mademoiselle is very bold. Your orders, the little ones obey. But Yi'er still has concerns, you can't have no guards by your side, or just leave two? ”

Wan Ning said very firmly: "Don't worry, except for the emperor, there will be no other danger." Even if there are other dangers, the emperor's people will appear, don't you believe it? ”

"Everything is small and everything is up to Miss." Yi'er answered.

Because it was close to the capital, the city was obviously much more prosperous, and Wan Ning couldn't help but get out of the car to play, and at the same time showed that she only brought two retinues. She happily wandered around the market and saw someone selling osmanthus cakes. I tasted it, and the taste was very authentic, as if I had brought it back from Gangnam.

She clearly remembered that Zhou Jieyu had the best bite. I want to buy more and bring it to Zhou Jieyu, and I have to give some to the emperor and queen. So she bought a lot.

Isn't this time in the name of accompanying the concubine back to Jiangnan? Obviously, it was the osmanthus cake bought around the capital, but he lied that he brought it back from Jiangnan. She knew that she was bullying like this, but she was only thinking about her brother at this time. Since her brother was framed for collaborating with the enemy, and being in prison was a false alarm, she could only bite the bullet and say that she really went to Jiangnan.

After Wanning returned to the mansion, she asked Zhou Jieyu that the concubine had been back for five or six days. Although the time did not coincide completely, at this time, she also knew how to reply to the emperor. After spending a short day in the palace, she returned to the palace and was ready to deal with the emperor.

The next morning, Yan'er, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the yard, was attracted by the familiar sound.

"Where's your master?"

Yan'er turned around and looked, Your Majesty! She was startled. She hurriedly saluted: "The slave has seen the emperor." She looked around, "The young lady is still here, and the slave will look for it." ”

She found Wan Ning behind a pine tree, and she didn't need to ask to know that she was using the fragment of time to miss Young Master Gao. "Miss, the emperor is here." Yan'er raised her voice slightly, hoping that Miss would come back to her senses quickly.

Wanning was stunned for a moment, then retracted her mind and took a deep breath. Then look up at the sky, the morning glow is like blood. The emperor rarely came to the harem at this time, and he only came at this moment to learn about the war in the northwest. She immediately walked towards the side hall, and when she came to the inner room, the emperor was already sitting there waiting.

"The slave and maid greet the emperor." As she spoke, she bowed deeply to the emperor, then knelt down, bowed her arms to the ground, and bowed her head at the same time.

The emperor was a little confused, and asked lightly, "How do you make a big gift today?" ”

"The slave knows the guilt." Wan Ning, who finished the big ceremony, got up and said: "There is nothing to entertain the emperor in the slave palace, only the emperor rewarded the Ming Qian Longjing." After speaking, she brought a steaming pot of tea and poured a cup for the emperor.

After a while, she remembered again: "By the way, there is also the osmanthus cake brought back from Jiangnan this time, which tastes very authentic." Zhou Jieyu likes to eat it very much, and gave her a lot. The slave and maid will also give you some to taste. ”

The emperor took two sips of tea and praised: "The tea is translucent and fragrant, it is really good tea." Your tea set is also very chic. It's just that this osmanthus cake, since the taste is very authentic, let's leave it to Zhou Jieyu to eat. ”

Wan Ning added a little boiling water to the teapot, and the tea leaves floated and fluttered for a long time, making her feel uneasy.

After a while, the emperor drank half a cup of tea and said in a cold tone: "I haven't seen you for many days, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

The emperor finally asked. Since her brother did not collaborate with the enemy, Wanning lost the need to go to the northwest, and it was inconvenient for her to admit that she went to report to her brother. Then he said unhurriedly: "The scenery of Jiangnan is really unique, and what you see is so poetic." After a while, she knelt down again and said, "The slave doesn't dare to bully the king." ”

Wanning has never admitted that she has been to the northwest, but in fact, she just went. Because of her indifference, the emperor concluded that the war in the northwest was already in danger. But he sighed more that it was really a fairy couple, and they cooperated seamlessly.

"The concubines have been back for many days, but I haven't seen you in these days." The emperor said again.

"When I go back to the emperor, I really need to rest for a few days when I come back from a long trip. For the first time in her life, the slave went out full of hope, but retrieved her father's ashes, which was the shadow of the slave's life. ”

"Your father's unfortunate death may be a sign that I will take care of you and marry someone of your choice. In the future, you don't need to go far away, just stay in the capital honestly. Never again touch the shadow of what you are talking about. ”

Hearing these words, Wan Ning's heart was completely relaxed this time. Because when it comes to getting married, she is a little shy: "Your Majesty, you make a joke about slaves and maids." ”

"It's still called the emperor, it's time to change your words."

"The slave didn't dare. Everything awaits your will. ”

The emperor looked at Wan Ning, who was standing not far away, respectfully: "Did you stand so far away when you talked to your father before, and your attitude was so respectful?" ”

Wanning understood what the emperor meant, he was cultivating the relationship between the "father and daughter", so she sat down next to the emperor. Tilting his face, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Ziang will definitely win a big battle." You have a good eye, you see people. ”

Wan Ning said this, and the emperor was even more sure that the war on the frontier would be won. He said disdainfully: "Slap the sycophant." ”

"Wan Ning likes it." She laughed.

After the good news of the great victory in the frontier reached the capital, another half a month passed, and Gao Ziang, who was far away in the frontier, finally received the order to return to Beijing.

The three armies marched towards Chang'an City. This time, Gao Ziang was not stingy with his pen and ink at all, he couldn't wait to write a letter to Wanning every day whenever he went to a place. Therefore, Wan Ning can always pay attention to the movements of the army.

Looking forward to it, the three armies will soon arrive in the capital The most exciting thing for her. "Yan'er, my brother is coming back!"

"Yes, Miss, the current Young Master Gao is a big hero."

"To Chang'an City tonight? Tomorrow night's celebration feast? Wan Ning asked uncertainly.

"Yes? Isn't it all clearly written in the young master's letter? ”

It's really written very clearly, but Wanning doesn't seem to believe it.
