Li Yun took the emperor and others back to have lunch. After the meal, he let them take a short rest and only took them to dig potatoes at noon.
Li Yun led everyone to dig until the evening before letting the villagers go back.
At the beginning, the novices could not dig fast and only dug one acre in an hour.
Later, everyone became skilled and could dig one acre in about half an hour.
Today we dug a total of seven acres of potatoes, weighing 27,130 kilograms.
This number made the villagers, who had worked hard all day, feel refreshed and smile.
After dinner, Li Yun, Shangguan Feiyun, Changjiang and the emperor went to Daqing Mountain together. When their backs turned, they released the helicopter and let Changjiang fly Shangguan Feiyun back to the capital.
The emperor insisted on following them back no matter what, and everyone had no choice but to agree.
Shangguan Feiyun boarded the plane and was reluctant to leave Li Yun, while Changjiang flew away.
Li Yun drove his carriage back home, washed up, fell on the bed, and fell asleep.
The next day, Li Yun asked Gao Xiang to recruit people in nearby villages.
Today, villagers from Daqingshan Village also came to help. With the help of the villagers from Daqingshan, we will definitely be able to dig ten acres of potatoes today.
Gao Xiang is very capable. In one morning, he recruited more than 300 people. With their participation, the grain can be harvested in seven days.
Everyone worked enthusiastically until the evening before finishing work and going home for dinner.
Today we dug a total of twenty acres and dug 75,960 kilograms, which has filled up an entire room.
Li Yun wanted to take advantage of the good weather to harvest the rice first, and use half of the people to dig potatoes and the other half to harvest rice tomorrow.
Changjiang brought the emperor and Prince Jin back to the capital, and the helicopter landed on the open space where Li Yun had launched his plane last time.
The three men covered the plane with branches and leaves nearby to prevent it from being discovered by the villagers.
Shangguan Feiyun took the emperor and flew into the capital using his lightness skills, and quietly slipped back to the palace through the secret passage.
Shangguan Feiyun and the emperor both thought of taking advantage of this opportunity to make the prime minister make a mistake and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, why are you back?" Eunuch Shen asked in shock when he saw the emperor appear before him.
"Let's go tonight. Is there anything important happening in the palace?" The emperor asked Eunuch Shen.
"The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince clamored to see the emperor, but were sent away by this old servant." Eunuch Shen told the emperor what happened yesterday.
“If they come today, let them in,” the emperor said to Eunuch Shen.
"Yes, I obey your order!" said Eunuch Shen.
Shangguan Feiyun returned to the imperial study and immediately wrote an imperial edict: saying that the emperor was in poor health and he wanted to go to the Huguo Temple to pray for the emperor.
Soon, the imperial edict spread throughout the capital, and people praised Prince Jin.
Yesterday, the Duke of Protectorate took his family to visit his daughter at the Princess's Mansion. When they were at the door, the doorman told the Duke of Protectorate that the Princess was out and would not be back in Beijing for some time.
The Duke of Protectorate asked the princess where she was going, but the doorman refused to tell her, so the Duke of Protectorate had no choice but to take his family back home.
Today, when he heard that Prince Jin was going to the Huguo Temple to pray for the emperor, he felt that things were not simple.
This morning, Prince Jin did not go to court because the emperor's condition worsened and he had to stay by his side.
These ministers followed the second, third, and fifth princes to visit the emperor, but were stopped by Eunuch Shen, who refused to let them in no matter what, not even the three princes.
A day later, Prince Jin went to the Huguo Temple to pray for blessings. Could it be that the emperor was really dying?
When the Duke of Huguo thought of this, he hurried into the palace to see Prince Jin.
The emperor told Eunuch Shen about the layout of Li Yun's house and the magical lights and faucets. Eunuch Shen was itching to go and see it and try it out himself.
"Your Majesty, can you take me to the princess? I also want to try what a faucet is and where the water comes from?" Eunuch Shen looked at the emperor with a pleading look.
"When I hand over the throne to Prince Jin, I will take you, the Queen, and my mother to Qingshan Village to retire.
There are many things in it that I have never seen or played with. ” The emperor comforted Eunuch Shen, saying that the internal troubles had not yet been resolved and Yun’er’s secrets could not be exposed too much.
"I obey your order! I am waiting for the emperor to take me to enjoy happiness!" Although Eunuch Shen was disappointed, he had no choice but to obey the order.
He is just a servant, and he should be content that the emperor can take him there.
The Duke of Huguo entered the palace and met Prince Jin in the imperial study.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty. May Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years." The Duke of Protectorate saluted Shangguan Feiyun.
"Get up!" Shangguan Feiyun said.
"Your Highness, I heard that you are going to the Huguo Temple to pray for the emperor tomorrow. Is the emperor's illness really serious?" The Duke of Huguo asked Shangguan Feiyun worriedly.
Shangguan Feiyun thought that he was Yun'er's biological father and his future father-in-law, so he should be trustworthy.
"No, father is not sick. He just followed Yun'er to Qingshan Village to dig up the potatoes planted by Yun'er, so he resorted to this desperate measure." Shangguan Feiyun said.
"What? The princess is returning to Qingshan Village.
"No wonder, when I went to look for her yesterday, her servants said she was not in the capital." said the Duke of Huguo.
"Duke, did you go to see Yun'er yesterday?" Shangguan Feiyun said.
"Your Highness, could you grant me a month's leave? I want to go to Qingshan Village to find the princess." The Duke of Protectorate requested.
"Not for now. You have to do me a favor. After you do it, I will give you and several other young masters a month's leave and let your family go to Qingshan Village to find Yun'er." Shangguan Feiyun refused the Duke of Huguo's request.
"What can your Highness do for me?" When the Duke of Huguo heard that he needed help, he was very curious about what the Prince of Jin needed his help with.
"I'll tell you then." Shangguan Feiyun said with suspense.
"I obey your order!" said the Duke of Protectorate.
"Your Majesty, did the Emperor and his men set out yesterday? Where are they going now?
I would like Madam and Mother to go first. Could His Majesty please wait for my family?" The Duke of Huguo thought of Madam's loss of appetite and desire for food yesterday when she could not see her daughter. He felt heartbroken.
“Yun’er has already arrived at Qingshan Village, and Father will leave tonight.
If you want the old lady and the duke's wife to go with you, that's not impossible, but you can't bring servants with you, not even the personal maids.
"If the Duke can do it, we'll meet outside the palace at 12:00 this evening, and Father will take them to Qingshan Village," Shangguan Feiyun said.
"Okay, I will go back and prepare." After the Duke of Protectorate said this, he knelt down to pay his respects to Shangguan Feiyun, then left the palace and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, he took his son, wife and mother to his yard and sent the servants out.
"Son, why are you so secretive?" the old lady asked the Duke of Protectorate.
"Mother, I know that my daughter has returned to Qingshan Village, and the Emperor is also leaving for Qingshan Village tonight.
"I would like the Emperor to take you and your wife to Qingshan Village first. When I'm done with my business, I'll take your grandson to Qingshan Village to join you," said the Duke of Huguo.
"Master, are you saying that your daughter has returned to Qingshan Village?
I'm going to Qingshan Village." The Duke's wife said anxiously.
“Madam, don’t worry.
Tonight, you and your mother will go to Qingshan Village with the emperor.
The King of Jin requires that you do not bring any personal servants with you," said the Duke of Huguo.
