"Di Xuanlang, I hope you have a worry-free future and can choose a good person to accompany you for the rest of your life. We will not meet in this life."

If you love, please love deeply.

If you give up, please give up completely.

Cutting off the bad karma will benefit everyone.

…

A few days later, the tyrant and his entourage returned to the capital.

Concubine De and Concubine Chun had received news from the tyrant earlier and were waiting at the palace gate.

This time, several other concubines also came.

After all, this was the longest time the tyrant had ever been away on a campaign.

"My dear!!" Ah Bao opened the carriage door and saw Concubine De in the crowd. The little girl was so happy that she ran into Concubine De's arms and rubbed her clothes. "My dear, you smell so good. My dear, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"

Abao is used to acting coquettishly, which can make Concubine De smile happily.

"Yes, Mommy misses Po the most."

"Ahem." The great tyrant got off the carriage and glanced at Concubine De.

Look, the girl really forgot her father now that she had a mother.

Defei bowed.

Concubine Chun pulled Di Rongjing, and a group of concubines also came forward and started talking to each other.

Concubine Chun originally didn't want to join in the fun, but in order to pick up her son, she had no choice but to come early.

"Why... I feel like someone is missing." The Tyrant looked around the crowd and called Eunuch Xi over. "Why didn't the Third Prince come?"

During the time he was away from the palace, he handed over government affairs to his third son.

The reason why I gave it to the third brother is that something was not right with him during this period.

He used to stay in the palace, but recently he doesn't. He goes out and wanders around every day, as if he is looking for his biological mother, and he seems to be possessed.

He knew that the third brother had no interest in the throne, so he wanted to find a job for him.

Eunuch Xi sighed, "Hey, Your Majesty, please go back to the palace and take a look. The Third Prince..."

After returning to the palace, before entering the imperial study, the tyrant heard a steady breathing sound. He entered the hall and saw the third prince lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.

"This is... the third son?" The tyrant was dumbfounded. The man in front of him had an untidy beard and did not look like his handsome third son.

"Your Majesty, you are not mistaken."

"However, in just over a month, he seems to have become a completely different person."

"Father... Father? You're back? Are you really back?" The third prince opened his eyes and saw the tyrant. He was a little bit unbelieving. He rubbed his eyes and made sure that it was indeed the tyrant.

"Father, you are finally back!" The third prince crawled towards the tyrant on his knees, hugged the tyrant's thighs, and cried so sadly.

When Emperor Zi'an, Emperor Chenyu and the eldest prince came with Abao, they heard the third prince crying heart-wrenchingly.

"Father, it is not a human being's job to handle this batch of memorials. It is too tiring!" The third prince wiped away his tears.

It's really not easy to be the emperor.

Any prince who dreams of becoming an emperor every day must have something wrong with his brain.

Instead of being a leisurely prince, he insisted on becoming an emperor, which made him work himself to death.

Isn't it better to just eat and wait for death than to read memorials every day?

This month, he had no time to eat or sleep, and even to drink water, he had to gulp it down. His pace of life was more than ten times faster than before.

He was very uncomfortable with it and almost vomited from reviewing all the memorials.

In one month, he will live ten years less. It's so damn scary.

The big tyrant understood, and the third brother was exhausted.

"Father, I really admire you so much." The third prince saw stars and could not stand up, so he just sat on the ground.

The great tyrant is speechless (⊙o⊙)…

Okay.

The third child will definitely not seize the throne in the future. I'm afraid this child has a psychological shadow about the throne.

"Okay, go back home and rest for a few days. Your mother will be back in the palace in a few days, and you will go out to welcome her then."

The third prince was shocked, "Mother?"

A-Bao lay on the soft couch, [I almost forgot that Daddy has another harem, the Empress Mother. This Empress Mother...]

The great tyrant pricked up his ears, wanting to hear more of Po's thoughts. Does the Queen have any gossip?

But Abao seemed to have closed his heart and stopped thinking about it.

After the great tyrant rested for a while, he immediately rewarded Lingnan according to his merits.

General Lei, Lin Xuanzhi and others were all commended and promoted without exception.

Only the eldest prince, Di Xuanlang, was ordered to be confined to the palace for three months.

…

palace gate.

General Lei looked at the crowd that was gradually dispersing, and seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd.

He stretched his neck forward and tried to look, but found that the other person had turned around and he could not see the other person's face.

"Who is General Lei looking at?" Lin Xuanzhi was watching from the side and laughing.

General Lei looked away, "Nothing."

How could it be possible that he saw Lin Rumeng? Moreover, those who showed up today to welcome the emperor back were all concubines.

"Old Lei, you are not going to fall in love with Concubine Hui, are you? Please don't. It is a capital crime for a minister to be obsessed with a concubine!" Lin Xuanzhi followed General Lei's gaze and recognized her at a glance. Wasn't that Concubine Hui?

With her was the eighth prince.

Lin Xuanzhi was not actually very familiar with Concubine Hui, but he was familiar with the Eighth Prince. Everyone knew that the Eighth Prince was blind and always had a white spot on his eyes.

General Lei glared at Lin Xuanzhi, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not tired of living."

"Let's go, the emperor has returned to the palace now, let's go have a drink. The emperor has many wives, and we are single, there is no point in going back."

"You can drink it yourself if you want. I have to go home to see my grandmother first."

General Lei grew up in Lingnan with his father, but his grandparents stayed in the capital. Over the years, they had thought about bringing their grandparents to Lingnan, but his grandmother was unwilling to leave.

Now that he has returned to the capital early, he always wants to go home to visit.

"Grandma!" As soon as General Lei entered the room, he happily rushed to the main hall.

The old lady was watering the flowers in the yard when suddenly a man rushed out. The old lady immediately picked up the kettle in her hand and smashed it at the man, "Hey, man, in broad daylight, my house has been robbed. How dare you rush in so brazenly? Do you want to steal something? My family is so poor. We have nothing but my old bones. Why don't you just steal my old bones?"

"Don't move. I'm telling you, I'm not afraid even if you hit me. My grandson is a general stationed at the border. If you dare to hit me, when my grandson comes back, he will raid your house, drag you out, hang you on the street, and whip you with a horsewhip."

"Grandma, Grandma...I am your grandson."

Madam Lei was stunned. "Bullshit! My grandson is far away in Lingnan. He is probably dead by now."

She also heard about the Lingnan epidemic.

"It's really me, grandma. I'm back." Leiyun quickly raised his head, even though his entire head was wet from the kettle.
