"Wanhe, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing the worry on Ye Wanhe's face, Shen Qing asked, "Are you okay?"
Ye Wanhe thought of the letter she received yesterday and pursed her lips and said, "Chen Qing, I will go to Chang'an with you..."
Chen Qing smiled and said, "That's great. I was worried that we wouldn't be familiar with the place once we got to Chang'an City. It's great to have you accompany us. I'll have company along the way."
--
In Chang'an City.
The news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in danger spread throughout Chang'an.
The court has been in turmoil these days, with conflicts often arising from trivial matters.
In the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
As soon as Zhenbei Marquis Xu Jie returned home, he saw his wife looking worried.
"Husband, I dreamed that something happened to Pei'er. He went to Lizhou this time... I'm always worried."
Xu Jie comforted his wife, saying, "Don't worry too much. Pei'er grew up in the military camp and will definitely take good care of herself."
"My Lord, Madam, the Crown Prince of Chu is here."
Xu Jie went to the door to greet him. Seeing the Prince of Chu, Xu Jie chuckled and said, "Jing'er."
"Uncle." Zhao Jing bowed and said, "Uncle, I have an important matter to discuss with you alone."
Xu Jie took Zhao Jing into the study.
After Zhao Jing sat down, he looked at Xu Jie and said, "The imperial physician said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not survive the Dragon Boat Festival."
Xu Jie sighed and said, "Alas, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally came back from the dead, but this time he is dying again. I wonder if Your Majesty's body can hold on."
"Uncle, His Highness is about to die, and His Majesty's health is also declining. The young prince's biological mother colluded with the Gu family to commit the crime of murdering the crown prince. Now the throne cannot fall into the hands of the young prince, allowing the Gu family to control the government by manipulating the young prince."
Although Zhao Jing didn't express his intentions, Xu Jie knew that his nephew was planning to seize the throne. He frowned and said, "Zhao Jing! Do you know what nonsense you are talking about?"
Zhao Jing twirled the jade ring on his thumb and said, "Uncle, your military and literary skills are no less than Gu Ling's. You also played a role in the recovery of Nanzhao. Now you watch helplessly as Gu Ling becomes the Prince of Ning, second only to the emperor. Don't you want the Xu family to have a hereditary title of king?"
Xu Jie frowned and looked at Zhao Jing and said, "I just thought you were confused and crazy. I didn't hear what you said just now. Don't mention it again, and give up your idea as soon as possible."
