Rong Bowen was actually worried. His daughter was pregnant and needed to rest. Going to the capital to help the emperor detoxify would be like wading into muddy waters, which was very dangerous.
He was powerless to stop this and could only ask Su Nanting for help to protect his children.
In addition, he had to tell Rong Yi that he was the eldest brother and must take good care of his sister, brother-in-law and Mo'er.
Rong Yi was really looking forward to going to the capital. He had never been to the capital in his life. When he was a child, he lived in the suburbs of Beijing. His family was poor and his father was busy, so he never took them there.
He wanted to see how prosperous Kyoto was. Of course, he had a heavy responsibility to protect his sister and the others, so he had to be careful.
They were leaving tomorrow, Rong Yi was so excited and nervous that he fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Mo'er couldn't sleep either. He had been out for a few months and thought he wouldn't have to go back to that place, but he didn't expect to have to go back so soon.
No one looks for him, no one cares about him, he is just a superfluous person.
It doesn't matter if he goes back. Outside the palace, no one knows him. He is the child of the Rong family and has nothing to do with those people.
Well, that's it.
After arriving in the capital, he stayed at home obediently, learning kung fu from his two masters, reading and writing when he had time, and never going out to cause trouble for his sister and brother-in-law.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a good kid, hehe...
Amu couldn't sleep. His mood when he returned to the capital was completely different from the last time. He wanted to get to the bottom of those things, but he was afraid that the results would be too hurtful.
Linlang held his hand. "We have to face it. Now that we've reached this point, we can only move forward with determination. Don't be afraid. We are here with you. You are never alone."
"With you by my side, I won't be timid at all. No matter what, I must find the truth."
He could no longer live with his own identity, and they wanted to turn him into a poor wandering ghost, but he survived and was redeemed.
Linlang was right. He couldn't let his relatives suffer while his enemies rejoiced. He wanted to take revenge, and he would start by investigating the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Ah Mu leaned over and hugged Lin Lang, "Go to sleep. We'll set off before dawn tomorrow morning and arrive in the capital before dusk."
In the morning, Lord Zhao and his wife sent Zhao Yuning here. Knowing that Linlang and the others were going to the capital, they wanted Zhao Yuning to go with them to visit the old chief priest and spend more time with him.
Madam Zhao took Linlang's hand and said, "If you don't mind, we have a house in the north of the city. Ning'er can take you there."
"That house has been empty and uninhabited, with only an old servant looking after it. If you move in and add a touch of homeliness to it, the house won't be abandoned."
"Mrs. Zhao, how can I feel so embarrassed..."
"Why should you be embarrassed? You are blessed people. Living in my house makes us feel blessed too. And don't talk about money. With a relationship like ours, talking about money would hurt feelings. The house is empty anyway. It's just enough for you to live in."
Having said that, Linlang accepted Mrs. Zhao's kindness. She had just arrived in the capital, so housing was not so easy to find. She would find a place to stay first and then look for one slowly.
So, going to the capital gave me a companion and solved the problem of temporary accommodation.
After bidding farewell to Rong Bowen and Lord Zhao and his wife, the group set off for the capital.
Linlang looked at the Guliang County gate that was getting farther and farther away, and thought of her previous life when she fled in a hurry with her son and experienced so many hardships along the way. It was all vivid in her mind, as if it happened just yesterday.
I haven't thought about Li Guangping for a long time. I wonder where he is hiding.
There have been earth-shaking changes in this life. Even if he jumps out, she will not be afraid of him at all. She is just afraid that he dare not come out.
I went to Beijing so many years earlier, and I wonder if Beijing is much more prosperous now than it will be many years later.
Ah Mu thought Linlang was reluctant to leave, so he gently held her in his arms and said, "Let's come back as soon as possible."
He prefers Luer Town to the capital.
Linlang lowered the car curtain and said, "Well, go home early."
Mo'er looked at the scenery outside the car window. At the beginning, he was busy escaping and didn't pay attention to what the road looked like. Now he realized that the whole road was full of farmland and people were busy planting in autumn.
Luhua and Yuqian had never traveled far, so they were both very excited to go to the capital this time. That was the capital, not Guliang County. It was said to be the largest and most prosperous city in Jing Dynasty.
They never dreamed that they would go to the capital one day. They were so happy.
The closer we got to the capital, the wider and smoother the road became. There were fewer and fewer thatched houses on the roadside, and more brick and tile houses. There were more and more horse-drawn carriages on the road, and many people were riding horses.
Sure enough, the further you get to the capital, the richer the place becomes.
"We're just ahead of the capital." Zhao Yuning, who was walking in front, slowly stopped the carriage and said, "Brother Rong, sister and brother-in-law, we're here."
Amu held Linlang's hand and stood on the shaft of the cart, looking forward. Sure enough, he saw the tall city gate, with flags flying on the city wall, and soldiers guarding the city standing upright on the city wall with spears in their hands.
At the city gate, people lined up waiting to be inspected before entering the city.
Rong Yi looked at the soldiers guarding the city. They were indeed incomparable to those in Guliang County. The capital was simply different.
"Let's go into the city." Rong Yi flicked the whip and drove the carriage in front, and the two carriages behind quickly followed.
When they arrived at the city gate, they lined up to wait for inspection. People had to get off the carriages one after another, and they would only be allowed to pass after being checked one by one.
Just as Linlang and the others were queuing, a carriage passed directly past them. At the city gate, a sign was taken out and the carriage was allowed to pass without stopping.
Zhao Yuning said enviously, "This is the privilege of the rich and powerful. With that token, you can move freely."
He whispered to Linlang and Amu, "That's the carriage of the Taifu family, the Crown Princess's family, the royal family."
No wonder the soldiers at the city gate were so respectful and bowed their heads. They didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage to look, and let the person go respectfully.
Rong Yi witnessed the power of the powerful and warned himself to be careful with his words and actions when he arrived in the capital so as not to hold his sister back.
Mo'er recognized him at a glance. Sitting in the carriage was the Crown Princess's dandy younger brother, who had bullied him a lot in the past.
Afraid that the other party would recognize him, he clung tightly to Rong Yi, pressing his face against his back, looking like a timid child.
It was just a small episode. Soon it was Linlang and the others' turn. They passed the inspection smoothly and got on the carriages, heading to the Zhao family's mansion in the north of the city.
The Zhao family's house has two courtyards. An old servant with poor hearing looks after the house and keeps it very clean, so you can move in directly.
Linlang and the others brought bedding and daily necessities, so just take them out.
Zhao Yuning sent them over and made sure they were settled before saying goodbye. "Brother Rong, sister and brother-in-law, Mo'er, you all should get some rest tonight. I'll go visit my grandfather first and come back tomorrow morning."
Rong Yi and Lin Lang were very grateful. If it weren't for the Zhao family's house, they would have stayed in an inn.
Amu said, "Once we are settled, we will definitely visit the old man."
Zhao Yuning smiled and said, "Grandfather wanted to see you. He must be very happy to know that you came to the capital."
"It's my honor to meet the old man." He would have to meet him sooner or later, so Amu felt relieved.
