Li Junyan's return inspired everyone in Tingzhou City.

Even with Sang Jueqian around, Tingzhou is still safe.

But in the hearts of the people in Tingzhou City, Sang Jueqian is a high and mighty goddess. No matter what happens, the goddess will definitely not die.

If the city is really breached, the goddess can just leave.

This made them feel uneasy.

But Li Junyan is different.

Tingzhou is Li Junyan's fiefdom. Li Junyan loves his people like his own children and even won a battle there a few years ago. With Li Junyan around, they can feel extremely at ease.

Tingzhou, which had been depressing for a few days, became much more lively due to Li Junyan's return.

After Li Junyan made some arrangements at the city gate, he returned to the palace.

In the palace, Madam Sheng and Aunt Jin had already received the news.

The two were anxious and unwilling to wait inside the palace, so they waited at the gate in advance.

Li Junyan saw the two people from afar and hurriedly quickened his pace and walked forward.

Mrs. Sheng was also very excited. She trotted over, took Li Junyan's arm, and looked at him carefully.

After making sure that he was fine and not injured, she said with tears in her eyes, "I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back safely."

For Mrs. Sheng, Li Junyan's safe return is more important than anything else.

Jin Gugu, who was standing by, also had tears in his eyes. "Your Highness looks much thinner. Now that you're back, I'll order someone to make you some delicious food so you can take good care of yourself and get well soon."

Although Li Junyan is still in mourning and cannot eat meat, Aunt Jin is a good cook and can make medicinal food. Even if he cannot eat meat, she is confident that she can restore Li Junyan's health in a short time.

Madam Sheng nodded in agreement. "You know Aunt Jin's cooking skills. You must eat well. And the goddess is a little too thin. You can also nourish her together."

After she finished speaking, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Sheng's face.

The goddess is a god, would she eat what ordinary people like them eat?

Can the things that ordinary people eat really nourish the goddess?

Seeing the complicated expression on Madam Sheng's face, Sang Jue stepped forward with a faint smile, "Then I'll trouble Madam and Aunt Jin."

Madam Sheng, who had just looked apprehensive, heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "It's no trouble, no trouble. If it weren't for the Goddess and Le Zhi bringing us here, we wouldn't have the free and leisurely life we ​​have now."

Li Junyan held Madam Sheng's arm with one hand and held Sang Jueqian's hand with the other. "Let's not talk outside. Let's go inside first."

Standing outside the palace at this time, people in the distance were looking at this side curiously.

Although I knew they were just curious, I still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by them.

Mrs. Sheng saw Sang Jueqian and Li Junyan holding hands tightly together at a glance, and her eyes showed shock.

But soon, the shock in his eyes turned into relief.

It’s worthy of being called Lezhi!

He actually gained the favor of the goddess!

Sang Jueqian and Li Junyan walked hand in hand into the palace. There was no special expression on their faces, but they were very nervous and their heartbeats were very fast.

Although Mrs. Sheng was not Li Junyan's biological mother, it was Mrs. Sheng who took care of and loved Li Junyan after his mother died, which enabled Li Junyan to grow up safely.

Over the years, Mrs. Sheng has always been concerned about Li Junyan.

It is estimated that in Li Junyan's heart, Madam Sheng was like his own mother, but he never said it out loud due to etiquette.

So, how could Sang Jueqian not be nervous when being looked at by Madam Sheng like that?

How is this different from meeting the parents?

Fortunately, they quickly entered the main courtyard. After they sat down, Li Junyan naturally let them go.

Mr. Sheng was still very concerned about Chang'an's situation and asked.

Li Junyan patiently explained everything that happened in Chang'an City.

Madam Sheng couldn't help but feel melancholy after hearing the last part. "He ascended the throne at a young age and reigned for decades. When he was young, he was considered honest and upright. He also considered the people of the world and did a lot of practical things.

It's a pity that after middle age, he only cared about power. He only wanted to hold the imperial power tightly in his hands and make all the people in the world submit to him. He no longer thought about seeking benefits for the people.

Needless to say, in his later years, he was constantly suspicious and trying to balance the court, and didn't care about the lives of the people below.

It's only a matter of time before this day comes for him, I'm not surprised at all.

Lezhi, do you know who poisoned me?"

Although the old emperor would die sooner or later, Madam Sheng did not feel too sad, but she was still curious about who had committed the murder.

If it was the prince, then the prince was already dead, so how could the old emperor be poisoned a second time?

But if it was said to be the Seventh Prince, Madam Sheng would not believe it.

Although the seventh prince succeeded to the throne in the end, just looking at how smoothly he succeeded, one could tell that the old emperor had long favored him.

Now is not the best time for the Seventh Prince to succeed to the throne.

If the old emperor could hold on for a while longer, he could make more comprehensive arrangements, which would be more beneficial for the seventh prince to take power after he succeeds to the throne.

Therefore, the Seventh Prince could definitely not be the one who poisoned him.

Eliminate all the impossibilities, and then whatever remains, no matter how impossible, becomes possible.

Therefore, without waiting for Li Junyan to answer, Madam Sheng had already expressed her guess, "It must be the eldest prince!"

Her voice was soft, but her tone was firm.

It's not speculation, nor is it questioning, it's stating the facts.

Li Junyan nodded lightly, "It should be him."

Madam Sheng sighed deeply, "I never thought it would be him. He's been by the Crown Prince's side for so many years. Everyone in the court says he follows the Crown Prince's lead and doesn't have the bearing of a first prince at all. He's called a prince, but he's like the Crown Prince's running dog."
