Chapter 172 Goodbye Wei Zhao
Wei Zhao stood in the most conspicuous position, and didn't care even though he was exposed to the sun.
He didn't care whether he would be exposed to the sun or not, he only cared whether Yu Youning could see him first.
I used to often see the words "looking forward to it" in books, but I didn't understand their meaning deeply.
It was not until now that Wei Zhao truly experienced what it meant to wait anxiously.
As I was watching, a shrill voice suddenly sounded from behind me.
"Seventh Prince, please do not forget the Empress' instructions! You must have the Valley Master treat the Emperor properly. If there is any lack of dedication and the Emperor's treatment is inadequate, then the consequences...Seventh Prince must be aware of this."
He kept calling him "Your Highness", but his words were not polite at all.
A cold look flashed across Wei Zhao's eyes.
By the time he spoke, there was no longer any sound wrong in his voice.
"I know, thank you, Eunuch Liang, for reminding me."
Eunuch Liang's snow-white face was full of smiles. "Your Highness is too polite. As the chief steward of the Empress's palace, I worry about all the big and small things around the Empress. It is my duty to remind Your Highness about this matter."
Wei Zhao's eyes darkened.
Just then, two carriages came into his sight.
The two carriages were moving very fast and were almost approaching in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the two carriages, Wei Zhao's heart beat faster. His eyes were full of joy, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He could only stare at the carriages as they approached.
In the carriage, Chu Huaishan was also instructing Yu Youning.
"Youning, you must remember, whether for your own sake or for the Seventh Prince's, when we meet later, don't act too familiar with each other, okay?"
This was not the first time Chu Huaishan reminded him of this, but Yu Youning did not show any impatience. He still listened attentively and nodded in agreement.
"Master, Youning knows!"
After all, this is Nanzhao. If she acts too familiar with Wei Zhao, it will only make the Queen of Nanzhao more wary of Wei Zhao.
Not only the Queen of Nanzhao, but also Wei Zhao's other brothers would be wary of Wei Zhao because of this.
This will only bring harm to Wei Zhao and no benefit at all, so Yu Youning will never do this.
Huo Qingchen sat aside, his back straight, still holding the sword in his arms.
"Youning, from now on, I will be your little bodyguard. I will definitely protect you well."
In Nanzhao, Yu Youning could openly state his identity.
Of course, this is also because it cannot be concealed.
But apart from her, both Huo Qingchen and Chu Huaixu must have another identity.
Even if he was recognized by the people of Nanzhao, as long as the new identity was tenable and he refused to acknowledge the old identity, Nanzhao would have no way to deal with it.
Chu Huaixu's new identity is the medicine boy Axu.
Huo Qingchen's identity is Yu Youning's bodyguard, who is specifically responsible for protecting Yu Youning's safety.
Huo Qingchen was extremely excited, not because he was going to play a completely new role.
Moreover, it was because he finally caught the little yellow bird yesterday!
After he caught the little yellow bird, he was captured himself.
This walk lasted a whole day.
When he appeared in the carriage again, Huo Qingchen was so excited.
Huo Qingchen was not the type to hide things, and everyone thought that he would be eager to tell what happened after being captured by Qinglong.
But this time, Huo Qingchen exceeded everyone's expectations.
He didn't reveal a single word!
He really kept his mouth shut!
Although everyone didn't know what Huo Qingchen had experienced, judging from his various behaviors, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
Yu Youning glanced at Huo Qingchen, who was filled with excitement, and nodded with a smile, "Okay! Then Ah Xu and I will be waiting for your protection! Especially Ah Xu, his health is not very good to begin with, and he doesn't know martial arts. When I'm not around, you have to take good care of him!"
Huo Qingchen glanced at Chu Huaixu with a smile, his expression unchanged as he nodded firmly and forcefully, "Don't worry, Youning, I will definitely protect him well!"
Yu Youning was about to say something else, but the carriage had already stopped.
At the same time, Wei Zhao's voice was heard outside.
"Master, you've worked hard all the way! I should have let you rest first, but the situation in the palace is urgent, so I can only ask you to come in first. Afterwards, I will definitely let you rest well, and then I will apologize to you."
Chu Huaishan lifted the curtain and looked at Wei Zhao standing beside the carriage and laughed, "Seventh Prince, you are too polite. I came here to enter the palace, so it is only right that I go directly to the palace. Let's go now!"
Wei Zhao looked inside through the opened curtain and the first person he saw was Yu Youning.
Yu Youning sat upright, with no expression on her fair and delicate face.
But those eyes were so lively that Wei Zhao could see the smile in them clearly.
Just when Wei Zhao was about to look away, he noticed that there were three more people in the carriage.
One of them looked very unfamiliar and I had never seen him before, but judging from his age and dress, he should be Youning's junior brother.
There are two more...
Wei Zhao's pupils constricted instantly, his eyes filled with shock.
Prince?
Huo Qingchen?
Why are they both here too?
If Queen Nan knew about this, the two of them would never be able to leave Nanzhao alive!
Wei Zhao was extremely shocked.
But he has experienced a lot over the years.
No matter how shocked he was in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
When Chu Huaishan saw Wei Zhao's reaction, he felt a little satisfied.
No wonder Youning became friends with him!
"Seventh Prince, please lead the way!" Chu Huaishan said with a smile.
Wei Zhao bowed, "Okay! Valley Master, please!"
Wei Zhao got on his carriage and led the way.
Two carriages followed behind.
After entering the capital, he went straight to the palace.
Along the way, many people were staring at the carriage, each of them extremely curious.
While he was curious, his face was also full of nervousness.
Yu Youning quietly opened the car curtain a little and looked out, taking in the situation outside.
Huo Qingchen also came over to take a look and sighed, "The people of Nanzhao are really concerned about the emperor's situation."
Chu Huaixu looked at Huo Qingchen and explained softly.
“Even inside and outside the palace and in the court, everyone wanted to hide the situation from the Southern Emperor.
But the health of Emperor Nan was deteriorating, and he even stopped attending court. How could this be concealed?
Although everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies, the emperor is no exception.
But Nanzhao did not have a crown prince, and the eldest prince was only fourteen years old this year.
Even if the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, he is still too young.
Not to mention, the eldest prince was born to an unfavored concubine and had no possibility of succeeding to the throne.
Queen Nan had been in the position of empress for many years. Her family was powerful and influential. She gave birth to the third prince, Wei Xu, and had always been eyeing the throne.
But Wei Xu is only ten years old this year.
He has an extremely bad character, one could even say he is vicious.
But unfortunately, he has no talent in studying or martial arts.
If Wei Xu really ascended the throne, Queen Nan would have to rule the country from behind the scenes.
By then, the imperial relatives will have absolute power and the court will inevitably be in chaos.
These common people will definitely not have a good life.
Therefore, the people are the ones who most hope that the Southern Emperor's health will get better.
As long as the Southern Emperor's health improves and he can hold on for another ten years, with a suitable heir apparent, then whether the Southern Emperor is dead or alive won't be that important anymore."
Because he was afraid that people outside would hear, Chu Huaixu spoke in a very low voice, and only a few people in the car could hear it.
When Jiang Lingzhou heard these words, he looked at Chu Huaixu with a different look.
But before anyone noticed his look, Jiang Lingzhou quickly lowered his eyes.
No wonder he became the emperor's most valued prince at such a young age. He really has extraordinary qualities.
Just by looking at the reactions of the people, one can fully analyze the current situation in Nanzhao.
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.
If Huo Qingchen had heard such words in the past, he would have become impatient or even started yelling.
But this time, Huo Qingchen had a serious expression and listened very attentively.
It was as if he wanted to chew every word and swallow it.
Yu Youning held his chin with both hands, his face thoughtful, "What if Wei Zhao ascended the throne?"
Such a short sentence surprised everyone in the car.
Chu Huaishan lowered his eyes and looked at Yu Youning, feeling extremely emotional.
As expected of his disciple, he really dares to think big!
Chu Huaixu thought carefully about what Yu Youning said, and finally nodded, "If Wei Zhao ascends the throne, he will at least be a good emperor, and... he won't make things difficult for Dayong."
Yu Youning blinked, "Then we-"
Before he could finish his words, the carriage stopped again.
There was a sound outside.
"Valley Master, we've reached the palace gate. From now on, we can only go in on foot."
Not only them, even the Seventh Prince Wei Zhao could only walk in.
Chu Huaishan walked down first, followed closely by Jiang Lingzhou.
After Yu Youning got off the car, Chu Huaixu and Huo Qingchen stood on her left and right.
In another carriage, Yu Tingwan and Wen Shiyan also got off.
Eunuch Liang's eyebrows were twitching wildly when he looked at this group of little rascals.
What’s going on with the master of Yaowang Valley?
As a miracle doctor, shouldn't he show the demeanor of a great man?
It would be fine if he just had a kind face and a smile, but why were there one, two, three, or four little kids around him?
The master of Yaowang Valley has nothing to do all day long and is only responsible for taking care of children?
Eunuch Liang was secretly complaining, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. "Valley Master, we're going to see His Majesty, and bringing a child with us...is a bit inconvenient after all!"
Chu Huaishan smiled and said, "This is my disciple Jiang Lingzhou, and this is my last disciple Yu Youning."
Eunuch Liang had heard of their names!
Despite being so young, he cured the dreaded golden plague within just one month. His medical skills are truly amazing!
If they went together to see the emperor, they would have a better chance of success!
