The speed of the dragon guards was very fast, and they arrived in Yangzhou in a few days.

"Say it again." Zhao Yao looked at the ordinary-looking man in front of him in disbelief, "What did you just say?" ”

The Dark Guard said respectfully again, "Your Highness the Ten, the emperor asked you to go back. ”

Zhao Yao shouted: "Let me go back, where to go?" ”

"Go back to the capital." Dark Guard added, "The emperor explained, if you don't want to go back......

Zhao Yao interrupted Dark Guard's words: "If I don't want to go back, don't I have to go back?" ”

"No, the emperor told you that if you don't want to go back, he will tie you back."

As soon as Zhao Yao heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He grimaced and said unhappily, "You say it again." ”

Dark Guard Armor deliberately raised his voice and said again: "Your Highness the Tenth, the emperor has explained, if you don't want to go back, I will tie you back." ”

Zhao Yao: "......" He wanted to scold his father.

"No, didn't the fourth brother and the starling help me tell my father, saying that I would stay in Yangzhou and return to Beijing until I became an adult." Zhao Yao was reluctant to return to Beijing, "How can my father talk and not talk." ”

"Your Highness the Tenth, the emperor did not promise His Royal Highnesses the King of Chu and the King of Wei." Dark Guard's tone was unwavering, "Your Highness the Tenth, the emperor also gave you three days, and you must return to Beijing with the minister after three days, and the minister hopes that you will cooperate." ”

"What if I don't cooperate?" Zhao Yao scolded the emperor frantically in his heart.

"If you don't cooperate, the minister can only tie you up and go back to Beijing." Dark Guard Armor said, "The emperor's will is that you must be brought back to Beijing. ”

Zhao Yao had never seen the Dark Guard Armor, but he knew that the person sent by the emperor was definitely not simple. If he doesn't leave, this man will definitely tie him back. If he escapes, he probably won't succeed.

It seems that he can only obediently follow this person back to Beijing. However, he did not want to return to the capital.

Seeing that Zhao Yao's face was full of reluctance, the Dark Guard Armor kindly reminded Zhao Yao: "Your Highness, the minister advises you not to run away, no matter where you flee, the minister will find you and take you back." ”

Zhao Yao, who had the idea of escaping: "......"

"Your Highness the Tenth, you pack your luggage, and the minister will take you back to Beijing in three days." After saying that, the dark guard armor left the Taishou Mansion.

Liang Taishou and the others were naturally reluctant to learn that Zhao Yao was going back to Beijing, but they did not open their mouths to keep Zhao Yao. They actively helped Zhao Yao pack his luggage and bought a lot of things for Zhao Yao to take back.

Even though Zhao Yao was reluctant to go back, he still honestly left with the Dark Guard after three days. In fact, in the past three days, Zhao Yao thought of countless ways to escape, but in the end he did not implement it, because he knew that the secret guard was always by his side.

They came to Yangzhou on horseback, but when they returned to Beijing, they took a boat.

Before leaving for the capital, Zhao Yao wrote a letter to the kings of Chu and Wei, and fiercely "questioned" them why the emperor would send someone to take him back to Beijing.

The emperor sent someone to take Zhao Yao back to Beijing, and the king of Chu and Wei did not know about it, but they only knew after receiving Zhao Yao's letter.

Wei Mian saw that after King Chu read Zhao Yao's letter, his face became bad, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, is there something wrong with Your Highness the Ten?" ”

"My father sent someone to bring the tenth brother back, and the tenth brother is on his way back to Beijing."

"What, didn't the emperor promise you to let His Highness Ten stay in Yangzhou and wait until he is an adult to let His Highness Ten return to Beijing?" Wei Mian said with a shocked face, "Why did the emperor send someone to bring back His Royal Highness Ten now?" ”

The King of Chu had a gloomy face and did not speak.

"Now that the situation in the capital is unknown, it's not a good thing to let His Highness Ten come back, why does the emperor want to take His Highness Ten back?" Wei Mian couldn't figure it out.

The king of Chu thought that Zhao Yao was arrested when he was in Jinling, and the emperor didn't care about it and let Zhao Yao fend for himself, he knew in his heart that Zhao Yao had no weight in the emperor's heart. He guessed that the emperor must have a purpose in sending someone to pick up Zhao Yao back. As for what the purpose was, this made King Chu have to think more.

Wei Mian saw that King Chu had a dark face and did not speak, so he cautiously asked, "Your Highness, should we send someone to secretly protect the Tenth Highness?" ”

The king of Chu came back to his senses and said, "You go and arrange it." ”

"Slave and maid, go now."

The king of Chu walked to the window, his eyes looking in the direction of the palace, and his expression was obscure.

Father, the tenth brother is also your biological son, why are you so ruthless to the tenth brother?

In the eyes of the King of Chu, the emperor's purpose in taking Zhao Yao back to Beijing was to use Zhao Yao as a target. And the role of Zhao Yao's target is to clamp him and King Wei.

Both the King of Chu and the King of Wei had a good relationship with Zhao Yao, and it was normal for the King of Chu to think so about the emperor's purpose.

For the emperor, the king of Chu has always admired and admired him very much, but seeing that the emperor was so ruthless to Zhao Yao, this made him a little dissatisfied with the emperor's father. In his opinion, tiger poison does not eat children, but the emperor is so cruel to Zhao Yao's youngest son.

King Chu had a very bad guess in his heart, that is, Zhao Yao would eventually become his test.

In the Wei Wangfu, not far from the Chu Wang's Mansion, the Wei King's face was not good-looking. His thoughts were the same as those of the King of Chu, and he felt that the emperor did not have a good intention to take Zhao Yao back.

"My father is really vicious." King Wei didn't care how the emperor treated him, but when he saw the emperor treating Zhao Yao so cruelly, he was very angry in his heart. "In order to make the fourth child ascend to the throne, it is not enough to sacrifice a son, but also to sacrifice another son."

When Yu Hai heard King Wei say this, he was very worried.

"Your Highness, then what are we going to do, do we want to prevent the Ten Highnesses from returning to Beijing?"

"The father sent a secret guard to pick up the tenth brother, but he can't stop it." King Wei hooked the corners of his mouth and mocked, "In order to let the tenth brother return to the capital safely, my father actually sent a secret guard to pick up the tenth brother, which is really well-intentioned." ”

"Then can we only watch as His Highness the Ten is brought back?"

"Although it is safest for the tenth brother to stay in Yangzhou, it is not completely dangerous for him to return to Beijing." King Wei said, "The tenth brother is back, I will protect him, and I will never let him become a pawn in the hands of my father." "He will never let his father use it to hurt his tenth brother." You sent someone to secretly protect the tenth brother. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Father, in your heart, only the fourth child is your biological son, and no one else is not, right?" King Wei's eyes were full of anger, "The tenth brother is your youngest son, and he is not yet an adult, so you treat him so viciously. ”

The emperor in the imperial study sneezed several times in a row, which scared Sun Kui a lot, and he was about to call the imperial doctor, but was stopped by the emperor.

"It must be Xiao Shi, that stinky boy scolding me." The Emperor smiled and said, "Scold me and send someone to fetch him back." ”

"Your Majesty, you know that His Highness the Tenth is unwilling to return to Beijing, why do you still send someone to take His Highness the Tenth back?"

The Emperor said meaningfully, "He must return." ”

"When His Highness Ten comes back, he will definitely make trouble with you."

"I'm just waiting for him to make trouble." The emperor is not afraid of Zhao Yao's trouble, but he is afraid that Zhao Yao will not make trouble.

He Lianfang also received a letter of complaint from Zhao Yao. He had long guessed that the emperor would not let Zhao Yao stay in Yangzhou for a long time, and he also guessed that the emperor would take Zhao Yao back at this time.

He wrote a reply letter to Zhao Yao, in which he did not tell Zhao Yao the purpose of the emperor's call to return. Rather, he came back just in time, and he had a lot of things to tell him on his side.

A few days later, Zhao Yao received letters of apology from the kings of Chu and Wei, and he decided to forgive them and not be angry with them. However, the emperor's anger still has to be raw.

With the protection of the dragon guard, Zhao Yao returned to the capital safely.

In the imperial study, the emperor was a little restless. From time to time, he raised his eyes to look at the door.

Sun Kui rarely saw the emperor look nervous, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Ten should be back soon." ”

When the emperor heard this, he glared at Sun Kui: "Who said that I was waiting for that stinky boy?" ”

"You didn't wait for His Highness Ten, it was the slave who was looking forward to His Highness Ten's return."

The Emperor snorted, and then lowered his head and continued to look at the folds, but after a while, he raised his eyes and looked at the door.

Just when the emperor was waiting a little impatiently, he heard the sound of saluting Zhao Yao from outside the door of the imperial study.

The Emperor hurriedly sat down, and put on an expression of intentness watching the twists and turns, completely missing the expression he had just looked forward to.

Sun Kui saw the emperor's kung fu of changing his face, and said with a smile in his heart: Your Majesty, what are you pretending.

Sun Doudou walked in, first saluted the emperor respectfully, and then said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Ten asks to see you at the door." ”

The emperor said in a light tone: "Let him in." ”

Soon, Zhao Yao walked in.

"Son-in-law, see father."

The emperor quietly looked at Zhao Yao and said with a pretending to be careless: "Get up." "I haven't seen him for a few months, but the stinky boy has grown a lot taller and thinner. This stinky boy went to Jiangnan, and he didn't just care about eating snacks and didn't eat well.

"Thank you, Father."

Seeing that Zhao Yao lowered his head and didn't look at him, the emperor was a little nervous, but his face did not show half a point.

"I don't send someone to pick you up, don't you plan to go back to Beijing?"

Zhao Yaocheng said in fear: "Erchen doesn't dare. ”

When the emperor saw Zhao Yao's low-eyed appearance, he felt a little strange in his heart, and thought to himself what was wrong with this stinky boy.

"Why don't you dare."

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Yao knelt down: "The son is guilty, please punish my father." ”

Sun Kui was very surprised when he saw Zhao Yao's appearance: What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Tenth, how did he become so regular?

The emperor was also frightened by Zhao Yao's "well-behaved" appearance, "Stinky boy, what are you smoking?" "What the hell is this stinky boy doing.

"The son is guilty, please punish the father."

The emperor felt that the younger son was very strange, stood up and walked in front of the younger son, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.

After Zhao Yao was pulled up, he still lowered his head and didn't look at the emperor.

The emperor looked at his youngest son's "cowardice" look, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt unpleasant.

"What's the matter, I went to Yangzhou and came back, and I became dumb?"

"Father, what do you want your son to say?"

"What did you do in Yangzhou?" The emperor said in a soft tone, "How about Liang Taishou them?" ”

"Liang Taishou is very good with them."

The emperor couldn't stand his youngest son's respectful appearance, and raised his hand to gently knock on his youngest son's head.

"You speak well to me."

Zhao Yao: Don't think that if you are my father, you can do whatever you want to me╭(╯^╰)╮

Emperor: What kind of madness is the stinky boy smoking, weird?
