Chapter 34

The soldiers in the southern border hated Prince Qi, but when they returned to the imperial city, few people mentioned this matter. They had never seen corpses strewn all over the fields in the southern border, so naturally they would not be indignant.

Even the old emperor didn't say anything, but ordered everything to remain as usual.

Therefore, Prince Qi is still Prince Qi.

It's just... the crown prince in name only is quite embarrassing.

It is rare for someone to discuss in private.

However, Prince Qi hid in Qingchen Palace all day long and didn't go anywhere, as if there was no such person in the palace.

During the few days of resting at home, Xiao Zhiyun was not idle. When she was resting, she had to go to the kitchen to keep an eye on it, and asked the cooks to make more bone soup for Lord Qing to supplement.

The rest of the time is used to plan the route to send the letter home.

She marked the addresses of the soldiers' homes with red dots on the map of Puyun. With the marks, it is clear at a glance, and it will be smoother to study how to get there.

As for the people who will accompany her to send the letter home, she has already discussed it, and it is nothing more than Princess Gaomi and her brother.

Apart from the two of them, Xiao Zhiyun couldn't think of anyone else.

After experiencing the war in the southern border, rogue bandits from all over the world are nothing to Princess Gaomi, not to mention the powerful Lord Qing.

Her brother stood there like a thousand troops.

It's a pity that she herself is a burden, has no skills, and can't ride a horse...

It seems that she has to learn some new skills, but these ideas have to be implemented according to her own situation after she sends the letter home.

When thinking about something, she suddenly remembered that Prince Zhao had written a paper letter from home and entrusted her to the old emperor.

Blame her for only focusing on the electronic family letter and forgetting about Prince Zhao.

She hurried into the palace with the letter.

The old emperor opened the letter leisurely, glanced at it, let out a sigh, then gave Xiao Zhiyun a meaningful look, and then continued to read the letter.

Xiao Zhiyun was surprised, could it be that the content of the letter was related to her?
However, the old emperor asked casually: "I heard from Ah Min, are you going to send letters home to the soldiers?"

Xiao Zhiyun hurriedly replied: "Yes."

The old emperor nodded, and said in a good mood: "That's a good thing, let Shi Shi follow suit."

Xiao Zhiyun couldn't help shivering, she didn't even have time to hide from King Yong!
But the old emperor calmly said: "He is not in the palace, so I can do things freely."

Xiao Zhiyun was even more surprised, when did the old emperor avoid King Yong?What are you going to do?
Although she was curious, she didn't dare to ask.

Just because the old emperor has a good personality doesn't mean that anyone can question his authority or interfere with his decision-making. Xiao Zhiyun can only go back to the Qinghou Mansion in despair.

With Princess Gaomi and Lord Qinghou around, King Yong wouldn't dare to touch her, would he?
Packing up their bags, they set off with their men and horses.

Their first stop was Taoli Town, which is the closest to Ranhua Inner City.

It's just that it was supposed to arrive in the afternoon, but it was delayed until sunset, all thanks to King Yong's side concubine Yan.

When I got out of the inner city of Ranhua, I got motion sickness, and I was stunned at a snail's speed, shrinking and moving forward.

"Your Highness, this concubine is still a bit disgusting." Concubine Yan leaned her whole body on King Yong's body, talking coquettishly.

Princess Gaomi accompanied them all the way, and she couldn't help but said: "Yan Shuyan, you have to have a degree of hypocrisy, right?"

King Yong reprimanded lightly: "Eighteen sister, why are you talking to your sister-in-law Yan?"

Princess Gaomi rolled her eyes and said nothing.

"It's all concubine's fault, delaying the trip of the big guys, Your Highness, why don't you go with Xiao Siji and the others, and the concubine drives slowly by herself?" Concubine Yan said softly.

When King Yong heard this, his face showed joy, "The concubine should walk slowly, don't worry."

Speaking of which, King Yong stripped Concubine Yan from his body, and then hurriedly got into Xiao Zhiyun's carriage.

Princess Gaomi was so angry that she pinched King Yong's neck and said, "Brother Twenty, it's not good for you to abandon your beautiful concubine, why don't you accompany her to see the scenery along the way."

Then Princess Gaomi took her troops one step ahead.

King Yong had no choice but to accompany Concubine Yan.

The road was difficult at night, and as soon as I stepped into the woods, I heard strange bird calls.

The group immediately became cautious.

Immediately afterwards, the net was pulled out from the thin soil neatly, covering half of the horse, and the carriage had to stop.

Xiao Zhiyun hurriedly got out of the carriage, and checked the pocket net with Princess Gaomi.

At this time, a black shadow flashed by, and she looked around, and there were dozens of men in black surrounding them.

Xiao Zhiyun expected that the trip would not go well, but she never thought that she would be in danger without going with her family.

I don't know what the origin of these men in black...

It doesn't look like rogues, but a group of organized and premeditated killers.

Following Prince Zhao's example, she went to see their clothes, but found nothing.

No matter who they are, Princess Gaomi holds the bronze sword and intends to fight, but is stopped by Lord Qing.

Master Qing looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Before we leave the border of Ran Hua, does someone think we are serious?"

The man in black didn't speak, but went up from the chrysalis.

Lord Qing clenched his fists tightly, breathing a little harder. It's not that he can't fight, it's just that his back hurt his bones...

Seeing the man in black approaching, he subconsciously rushed to the front, protecting Princess Gaomi and Xiao Zhiyun behind him.

Then he took the bronze sword.

When Princess Gaomi realized it, Master Qing had already rushed out.

"Xiao Qi!" Princess Gaomi was a little anxious.

She waved to the accompanying soldiers and guards, ready to fight with Lord Qing.

But the next moment she was dumbfounded.

Master Qing rushed out and slashed left and right, as if he had no old wounds, but only he knew that every time he swung his sword, it hurt badly.

He swung his sword fiercely, knocking down one piece in a short while.

"Come on!" Lord Qing closed his eyes and sneered.

The men in black didn't come forward for a long time, and they all evacuated after hesitation.

But Qing Hou Ye bent his back with his sword and pestle the ground, his breathing fluctuated and he was panting violently.

Princess Gaomi and Xiao Zhiyun rushed forward to support him, they didn't expect Lord Qing to fight quickly, the man in black didn't dare to fight back.

"We still have personal guards, why are you in such a hurry!" Princess Gaomi couldn't help preaching.

And Xiao Zhiyun was still immersed in Lord Qinghou's every move just now, her brother is too brave!
If there is no injury, how heroic it must be?

The guards over there had already untied the net, the horse was let down, and the forest returned to tranquility.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the forest.

They followed the sound, and after a while, King Yong's chariot drove into the forest.

After the carriage came to a complete stop, King Yong hurriedly got out of the carriage and came over. Seeing the man in black lying on the ground, he couldn't help taking a few steps back in fright.

Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be calm and said: "It is the king who is late."

Princess Gaomi took a deep breath, expressing that she didn't want to talk to him, it made no difference whether he was there or not!
Concubine Yan followed, but her complexion was not very good.

"Your Highness..." Concubine Yan shouted weakly.

King Yong turned to look at her.

And she took a few steps forward, and suddenly frowned, clutching her stomach, and then raised the hem of her skirt in disbelief.

"What are you doing?" King Yong said with some disgust.

However, the next moment, he saw blood on Concubine Yan's trousers, so he hurriedly went to help her, and asked with concern, "Is concubine concubine concubine menstruating?"

Concubine Yan had shock in her eyes, she shook her head in pain, and passed out in King Yong's arms.
