Live up to the country

On the way here, Liu Hongjing had already received news of the death of Princess Dongling's illness, so he didn't ask them why, but said: "Since the princess is dead, all the servants who came from Dongling should be executed on the spot."

Feng Lin heard the news of the death of the princess, and wept endlessly along the way. Eunuch Wu, Eunuch An, and Thrushcross Liuye were also worried, not knowing what their fate would be. When they were executed, they were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

"Father, my sons and ministers escaped death, and I don't want to see any more bloodshed. Father spared their lives and let them go to the harem to do some heavy work of burning coal and doing laundry." Liu Fan covered his mouth and coughed, pretending to be weak.

"Okay, father listens to you, get in the carriage quickly, it's cold outside." Liu Hongjing looked at him with distress.

Liu Fan took Xiao Zhu into the carriage, and the group turned their horses around and returned to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

At the gate of the palace, Duanmu Yunji stood in the bitter new wind, her face was frosty and her lips were blue.When the emperor's chariots and horses returned, she slightly bowed her knees to welcome them.

Liu Fan got down from the carriage, and paid homage to her expressionlessly: "My son pays homage to his mother."

"Excuse me, the prince has worked hard on this trip and made great achievements. Go back to the palace and rest. The queen mother still has to wait for your elder brother to return to the palace." Duanmu Yunji sneered.

"Fan'er, you go back to the East Palace first, and the emperor will talk to you later." Liu Hongjing got down from the dragon carriage, looked at Duanmu Yunji with a sullen face, and said to Liu Fan.

"Yes, I will pay my respects to my father, queen and mother later." Liu Fan continued to cover his mouth with his hand and cough, his body was hunched in the north wind, and he seemed to fall down at any moment. Slowly go to Cheng En Hall.

When Duanmu Yunji saw Liu Hongjing standing beside her, waiting for Liu Huo to return to the palace together, her gloomy expression eased a little. "Your majesty, please go back to the palace, it's windy here, be careful of the dragon's body." She said with a slight blessing.

Liu Hongjing stood with his hands behind his back and didn't speak.Duanmu Yunji didn't say anything more.

The eunuch ran over to put a cloak on Liu Hongjing, bent down and stepped back to wait quietly.

At the gate of the city, a group of horses and horses entered the city, and a young man sat on a horse at the head. He was dressed in military uniform, with a tight handsome face, eyebrows like a knife, high nose bridge, thin lips tightly pursed, and dark eyes. The eyes are deep and guarded, with a natural sense of coldness.

He is the eldest son Liuhuo. He has received news from his mother that the crown prince returned to the palace with him. The father did not come to welcome him, the eldest son who returned from fighting in the mountains of swords and seas of fire. Instead, he went to greet the crown prince. His stern face became even more serious cold.

Liu Huo and his bodyguards arrived at the gate of the palace very quickly, he saw his father and queen standing at the gate of the palace from a distance, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt down to see him.

"Huo'er!" Duanmu Yunji excitedly went over to help him up.

Liu Hongjing glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Weary from the long journey, let's go back to the palace to rest."

"Thank you, father." Liu Huo replied with cupped fists.Liu Hongjing had already turned around and walked away, Liu Huo and Duanmu Yunji looked at his back with resentment and melancholy in their eyes.

In the Taifu's mansion, Little Gudong had already returned nonchalantly from the back door with the sable in his arms. The Taifu received the news of the death of Princess Dongling, but he didn't notice the abnormality of Little Gudong Wuyou and the others.

"I didn't expect that princess to die of illness. Alas, she is also a beauty. It's good, it saves a lot of trouble." Tai Tuo said while stroking the white beard and Wuyou.

"Master Taifu, since the crown prince returned to the palace safely, the rest of us will also return to Qingyun Temple." Wuyou and Yunshang rushed to Qilingpo to meet Luo Lianyi, and they bid farewell to Taifu immediately.The Taifu didn't keep them very much, and after saying some greetings to Taoist Mu Shi, he sent them out of the mansion.

Jiang Feng drove the carriage and rushed to Qilingpo overnight. All the way, Xiaozhu's melancholy, deep pool-like eyes kept appearing in his mind, with inexplicable pity.In the early morning of the next day, he finally arrived at Qilingpo and stopped the carriage. He didn't open the curtain to check, but stood outside the carriage and waited quietly.

It took about an hour before he saw a few black shadows coming quickly from a distance. He guessed that they should be Wuyou and his party. smiled.

The horse quickly stopped beside him, and the son on the horse jumped out of the carriage. Jiang Feng heard from Xiaozhu that they were all girls disguised as men, so he cupped his hands and said, "I met a few girls in Xiajiangfeng."

"Brother Jiang has been waiting for a long time, little sister Wuyou, Yunshang, Nier, Xiaohui." Wuyou cupped his fists and introduced them one by one with a hearty smile, but Little Gudong couldn't wait to jump into the carriage. "Brother Jiang, how is the Princess?" Wuyou asked.

"It's been less than twelve hours since taking the medicine yesterday, and Jiang doesn't dare to go to the car to check on the princess without authorization. Miss Wuyou, go and see her," Jiang Feng said.

Wuyou nodded, and got into the carriage with Yunshang. Little Gudong anxiously held Luo Lianyi's head and cried loudly: "Sister Wuyou, look at the princess's whole body is already cold, she won't be unable to wake up, right? ?”

"Don't worry, sister Xiaozhu said she will wake up if she can wake up." Wuyou comforted him.

"Sister Wuyou, have you heard of this poison from the master?" Yunshang asked.

Wuyou shook his head: "Master's poison-making and detoxification kung fu was only passed on to Xiao Zhu alone, and it will only be passed down in a single line in the future. Maybe the master is afraid of chaos and has unworthy disciples causing disasters."

"How long is it until twelve hours?" Little Gudong asked.

"Hurry up, let's hurry up, it's not safe here." Wuyou said, she called Ni'er Xiaohui into the carriage, and said to Jiang Feng: "Brother Jiang, are you sending us up the mountain, or are you going somewhere else?"

"Jiang will send you up the mountain. It's been a long time since I visited the Taoist priest." Jiang Feng jumped on his horse with a smile, told the girls to sit down, and galloped the horse towards Qingyun Temple.

The carriage was bumping, but Luo Lianyi didn't respond at all. Little Gudong held her cold hand and looked at her without blinking, waiting for her to magically open her eyes.

At noon, Little Gudong said: "I remember it was this time yesterday, why didn't Miss Princess wake up?"

Wuyou opened the curtain and asked Jiang Feng: "Brother Jiang, was this the time for the princess to take the medicine yesterday?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "Almost."

"Sister princess! Sister princess! Why don't you wake up!" Little Gudong was in a hurry, holding Luo Lianyi's head and crying and shouting, tears and snot streaming down her face.

"Ahem——" Luo Lianyi suddenly coughed twice, Xiaogudong was overjoyed, hugged her and shouted: "Sister princess! You're awake! You're awake!" Wuyou and Yunshang also surrounded her in surprise, call her loudly.

Luo Lianyi opened her eyes, and said angrily, "I woke up, and I slept so deeply. Xiaozhu, is this a sleeping pill? Why is my face so sticky?" She reached out to touch her wet face.
