a month ago.

"Your Majesty! There is a riot in Lingnan——"

It was already a month later that Chang Le saw Xie Zhao again.

Changle heard the news and immediately rushed to the tower to welcome Xie Zhao on his return, "How could there be a sudden riot?"

"I just received the news that a plague broke out in Lingnan. People fled one after another. The team organized by the imperial officials was dispersed."

Changle looked at the chaotic scene below and roared angrily: "Anyone who dares to break into the city gate will be shot to death!"

The soldiers immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to fight with the rebels. In the chaos, Changle looked outside the city wall, and the silver figure slowly appeared on the tower.

The silver figure, wearing armor and riding a tall horse, walked step by step to the city gate. When the soldiers below the city tower saw it, they all knelt down and said, "See you, Your Majesty!"

Changle looked at the young man riding the horse below. He was dressed in white clothes and the silver armor shone on his cool but determined face. There was a gentle and indifferent expression on his face. He rode the horse slowly up the tower. Changle stretched out his hand to support him. He said with a hint of reproach in his tone, "Why don't you rest for a few days before coming back? It's such a hard journey, what if you catch the wind and cold?"

Xie Zhao held Chang Le's hand tightly and said with a smile: "I have good physical fitness, so it doesn't matter. How are you and your two children? Are you well-behaved?"

Chang Le looked sideways at the children, "They are all very well-behaved. They draw and ride horses every day and have a lot of fun in the western suburbs. I am just worried about you. I haven't seen you for a month and I feel like you have lost a lot of weight." "

Xie Zhao chuckled lightly, "No, how could I lose weight?"

Chang Le pulled Xie Zhao to sit down, picked up the teapot and poured him tea, "It's good that you're not losing weight. I was worried that you were tired."

Xie Zhao picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After putting down the cup, he looked seriously into Chang Le's eyes, "Chang Le, do you believe me?"

Changle paused for a moment, then nodded, "Of course I believe it. You are the only one in this world worthy of my complete trust. No matter what you are like, I will always be by your side."

Chang Le reached out and hugged Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao hugged her with his back. A dark light flashed in his eyes. After a long time, he sighed, "Um... I have one thing I need to ask you for help."

Chang Le let go of him in surprise, "You actually ask for help? It's rare. Did something happen? Tell me."

Xie Zhao smiled bitterly, "Yes, it's a bit troublesome."

Changle looked at Xie Zhao's serious expression and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it first."

Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Lingnan is too far away. I can't station there often, but the riot is not a small matter. It has spread to other districts and counties. I came back this time because I want to Let Wan Ning go there in my place. I don't mean to replace him. I just want him to go there and have some experience so that I can see his actual ability. But I'm worried that you will scold me, so I'll ask you in advance, do you think it's feasible? "

Chang Le was a little distressed and a little funny. For such a humble reason, he had to ask himself before saying, "Okay, Wan Ning can go and practice, but you also have to take care of yourself. I will ask Wan Ning to come over tonight and I will tell him personally." Bar."

Xie Zhao showed a faint smile, "I understand, thank you Changle."

Chang Le looked at Xie Zhao and couldn't help but touched Xie Zhao's head, "Fool, why should we be so polite? Come in quickly. It's too cold here. Be careful to freeze you and the children. They are still The little ones can’t withstand this low temperature.”

Xie Zhao hummed, followed Chang Le's footsteps, and walked into the house. Looking at his familiar back, he couldn't help but reach out and grab Chang Le's sleeve, "I will not leave you."

Changle turned around and put his arms around him, "I know that I will never abandon you."

Xie Zhao leaned on Chang Le's shoulder, and his eyes gradually became moist. He was not a hypocritical person, but at this moment, he couldn't help crying. He was not a man, but he loved to cry like this. He didn't know how to face his feelings, and he didn't even dare to face his heart.

"Chang Le." Xie Zhao murmured his name.

Changle responded, "Well, I'm here, what's wrong?"

Xie Zhao shook his head, "It's okay, I was just thinking...if I didn't become emperor, would you be willing to follow me? I will take you to travel around the mountains and rivers, and bring peace to the world."

Chang Le was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to touch Xie Zhao's eyebrows, "You are the emperor, you are the most respected person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. How can you say that if you don't become the emperor, you are no longer the emperor? Have you forgotten what I said?"

Xie Zhao remembered what Chang Le said. He had promised him that he would definitely make him the most noble person in the world and let everyone look up to him.

Xie Zhao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Okay."

"I will wait for you, Azhao, until the day you take me to go sightseeing."
-
Xie Zhao stood by the window, looking at the pattering raindrops outside, with a smile on his lips. His fingers gently brushed the rice paper on the table. The rice paper was filled with dense handwriting, all of which were Xie Zhao's. The handwriting is sharp and powerful. At first glance, it is written by a master.

His eyes were shining, and he was suddenly confused. What on earth was he doing? Why did he leave in a hurry after leaving a letter? What did he mean?
Xie Zhao was deep in thought when a knock on the door came. He collected his thoughts and returned to his original gentle manner. He coughed lightly and said, "Come in, I've been waiting for a long time."

The door was pushed open, and Chang Le stepped into the house, holding a bowl of fruit in his hand, "Try the apples we just picked this morning."

Xie Zhao glanced at the things in his hands and said, "I won't eat these, honey. Eat more for yourself and your child."

Changle was a little disappointed, "Don't you like it?"

"No, I'm just used to eating meat and less vegetables. And I've been afraid of these since I was a child. I don't like eating fruits. Don't mind."

Hearing this, Chang Le put the plate on the table, "If you like to eat it, I'll ask the chef in the imperial kitchen to cook it for you. But the fruit is still very fresh. I asked them to wash it. Do you want to try it? No. It’s not enough to eat fruit, your body needs to be hydrated.”

"No, I have to go to the military camp later. When I come back, I'll eat again."

"The military camp is guarded by guards, don't worry."

Xie Zhao shook his head, "I can't delay everyone because of my selfish desires. I have to go on patrol."

"Leave the patrol matters to my subordinates. I'll ask them to go back tomorrow morning."

"No." Xie Zhao insisted, "I must handle these matters personally."

Changle was silent for a while, and finally gave in reluctantly, "Okay, but you have to pay attention to your safety."

Xie Zhao nodded, "Okay."

Chang Le watched Xie Zhao leave, and a slight curve formed on her lips as she watched him leave.

After Chang Le returned to the palace, he found Ban Ning and told him Xie Zhao's decision to go to Lingnan to suppress the riots, "I have already told Azhao that he will let you go to Lingnan. Once the memorial has been reviewed and approved, it can be presented directly to the Emperor."

"Okay, I will work hard." Ban Ning sniffed. In fact, during this period, he himself had thought about taking the initiative to go to Lingnan, but he was also worried that His Majesty would think that he was too ambitious, so this matter has been kept under wraps. He put it on hold, but now he has taken the initiative to let himself go to Lingnan. This is an excellent opportunity for performance, and Wan Ning really wants to seize it!

He immediately promised: "Auntie, I will do a good job and let your face shine! You don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself. During this time, I will be gone, and you and your brothers and sisters should also eat well." ."

Chang Le smiled and said: "It's not about hard work, it's about necessity. Well, aunt knows, my lord, in fact, aunt is still very worried about you. Lingnan is in chaos, but... right now, the court has no other personnel that can be sent out. Only you, It’s more appropriate because His Majesty wants to train you to be grateful, you know?”

Wan Ning nodded, and then bowed solemnly towards Chang Le, "Thank you, aunt, Wan Ning knows." "Silly boy, I treat you as my own, shouldn't I help you?" Chang Le rubbed him. head.

Wan Ning suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Chang Le, then hesitantly said, "Auntie, I have something to ask you. Last time we went back after dinner, I thought about it for a long time."

Changle nodded: "You say."

Ban Ning: "I want to get a wife."

Changle was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "How old are you?"

"I am 16 years old this year. Men can marry and have children at the age of 16."

Changle was even more puzzled, "I remember that you didn't plan to get married early before, but since you have changed your mind now, I will help you apply for a decree and ask His Majesty to allow you to get married. As for the girl you like, she will wait until you get married. , you can take it home and show it to us."

Changle asked with a smile: "How many do we want to marry Ning?"

Wan Ning's cheeks were slightly red and her eyes were firm as she said, "One!"

Changle nodded, "It seems you have figured it out, who is it?"

Ban Ning: "Li Yu."

"Sister?" Changle asked with raised eyebrows, that's her precious daughter!
Ban Ning knelt down with a puff, "I beg your Majesty to grant me permission! I am willing to wait for my sister to grow up!"

Changle frowned. She didn't like forced buying and selling, and she was even more protective of her children. "You go to Lingnan first. We'll talk about this matter when you get back."

Wan Ning didn't hear Chang Le's rejection, she was overjoyed and ran out happily.

God knows how much he liked the Ice and Snow Princess Li Yu when he first saw her, and he was looking forward to her growth. He just had to wait for more than ten years. It didn't matter. He would wait until his girl grew up. He would also have the ability to protect her. is the most important.
-
The riots in Lingnan became more and more intense.

After Wan Ning arrived, he started to deal with things non-stop.

"Your Highness, this mob is causing trouble again." An official hurried into the study.

In Fuyun Hall, Wan Ning was wearing black clothes, sitting on the dragon chair, with his feet on the high platform, looking down at everyone.

He said coldly: "I understand, there is no need to report this kind of thing to me, you can handle it."

"But they are about to break through the city gate. Please think of a way. If we continue to resist like this, we will probably suffer countless casualties."

"I see."

Wan Ning turned to the adjutant beside him, "Go get a map."

The adjutant quickly went to get the map and handed it to Ban Ning, "Your Highness, what do you want the map for?"

"I'm going to draw a simple version of the sand table so that I can minimize the sacrifices."

"What sand table?"

"This is a sandbox I drew based on my experience and memory. This mountain is our current highest peak. We can use this peak to lay out an ambush circle to prevent them from landing, and at the same time set up interceptors along the way, or in the valley By setting up checkpoints and putting the mob in a difficult position, we can take control."

When he heard this, the adjutant's eyes lit up, "Really or not? You can actually draw a sand table. You are so smart. You are worthy of being the top scholar."

Wan Ning coughed lightly, lowered his head and said, "I'm just lucky. After all, I once learned the art of war from the master."

The adjutant nodded, then looked at the map in his hand, his eyes flashing with amazement, "This map is really carefully drawn and very detailed. You are really amazing."

Wan Ning smiled modestly, "I'm here just to quell the riot. Of course I'm prepared. Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to make the next plan."

"Yes."

A group of people went out in a mighty manner, and Wan Ning immediately gathered people and began to study.

Early the next morning, they packed up their things and prepared to set off for Lingnan.

Wan Ning stood on the high platform and looked into the distance.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Ban Ning smiled faintly, "According to the original plan, we went to the Lingnan border, but we just wanted to wrong everyone. We had to pretend to be a caravan and a foreign spy, so that we could hide from others along the way."

All the soldiers nodded, indicating that they had no objection.

Ban Ning nodded and turned to look at the soldiers, "You ride with me and take a detour to Lingnan via another path. When we arrive at Lingnan, we will leave some manpower behind and let them deliver the message. Then you will take the opportunity to rush into the city and rescue common people.”

"Yes." The soldiers agreed in unison.

Ban Ning left the capital with most of the soldiers and rushed to Lingnan.

At this time, a big event happened in the capital.

It turned out that Li Yu suddenly fell ill for some reason.

An exquisite little princess had a high fever, her whole body was in bad condition, and her little face was wrinkled, making everyone anxious.

Especially Changle.

"Physician, how is my daughter?"

Doctor Chen cupped his hands and said: "My dear, the little princess needs to rest for a while to recover. She has a heart disease."

Changle looked at Doctor Chen with a suspicious look on his face and asked quietly: "What kind of heart disease can a six-year-old girl have?"

Doctor Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe it's because the weather is dry and things are dry."

Changle nodded slightly: "The child has suffered so much from being sick all the time. Please ask the doctor to prescribe more medicine so that she can get better soon. Please also prescribe tonics."

Doctor Chen: "Okay." (End of chapter)
