"How long will it take for Princess Chen to reach the capital with the child?"

"It will take at least twenty days to get back to the Emperor."

"Twenty days, that's a long time."

"Your Majesty, this speed is already too fast. If Princess Chen hadn't found a carriage from somewhere, and the horses couldn't shake no matter how fast they ran, it would probably take two months to reach the capital."

Hearing what the secret guard said, Emperor Wu Wen knew that what he said was correct.

But he was anxious and really wanted to see his grandchildren. Whenever he thought about having three adorable grandsons and one sweet and tender granddaughter, he couldn't stop feeling happy, and even his health got much better.

"Never mind, twenty days is twenty days. Let them go slowly. Don't make my grandchildren suffer."

The secret guard heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Emperor Wuwen said. To be honest, he was a little scared. He was afraid that his master would come up with an idea and force himself to leave the palace to pick up his grandchildren.

As a secret guard, obedience is his duty. No matter what his master asks, he will carry it out unconditionally.

Even if we know that the emperor cannot leave the palace, if the emperor insists on leaving, there is nothing we can do. Fortunately, the emperor did not say anything behind the scenes.

Emperor Wu Wen had no idea what the secret guards were thinking. He was thinking about the Queen telling him not to regret it, and it must be related to the four children.

What did he have to regret? He had known for a long time that Li Mengyue was pregnant with Ruiyuan's child, his third son.

He still remembered how painful it was for him and how sorry he felt for his third son when the imperial physician told him that the third prince would have difficulty having children in the future.

He had long ago made up his mind to pass the throne to the third prince. The reason he did this was not because he was partial to the third prince, but because he believed that the third prince was indeed capable of doing the job and could govern the Great Zhou better.

He believed that only if his third son succeeded to the throne, under the governance of the third prince, could the people live and work in peace and contentment, the national strength would become stronger and stronger, and the surrounding small countries would no longer dare to plot against the Great Zhou, nor would they dare to frequently invade and harass the border.

But he knew very well that a prince without any children would never be able to ascend to that position.

But even if he still had expectations for the Third Prince, it would be impossible for him to withstand the huge pressure and force the Third Prince to take the throne.

If he did that, there would definitely be turmoil in the court, which was not the result he wanted.

Although he hadn't accomplished any great feats during his years in office, nor had he helped the people live a good life, it didn't mean that he wanted them to be trapped in the flames of war, displaced from their homes, and live a life of uncertainty.

He still remembered that he was the emperor, the ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and had responsibilities to the people under his rule.

Although a flood occurred in Guangping Prefecture that year, he was confused and issued an imperial decree to stop the refugees from going north, so that the refugees reached Qingshan Prefecture and could no longer go north.

In order to make up for this mistake, didn't he let the third prince stay in Qingshan Prefecture to provide disaster relief? The third prince really did not let him down. Not only did he properly resettle the refugees, he also built water conservancy projects. This is an achievement that will benefit future generations.

Although the Qingshan Prefecture water conservancy project was built under the supervision of the third prince, it was indeed completed during his administration. In the future, he will definitely be recorded in history books, and he will be able to go down in history for this achievement.

Thinking about it this way, the third brother is more suitable for the throne. The eldest and second brothers are really not very suitable.

The third son went to Banyue Villa in Wuning County to recuperate. The secret guard brought back a message that the third prince and a woman were approaching.

He didn't take it seriously at the time. It was just a woman. His son was a prince and he could have as many women as he wanted.
