I'll tell you in a bit!
After saying this, Jin Beicheng quickly left the space supermarket and disappeared from Song Xia's sight in no time.
Song Xia didn't know what was going on and couldn't help but worry about him.
She moved a stool and sat by the door, waiting for a long time.
As she was getting sleepy while waiting.
A welcoming greeting rang out.
Jin Beichen strode in from outside: "Wife."
Song Xia woke up instantly, got up to greet Jin Beichen, and asked while looking him over, "Husband, have you treated your wound? What happened?"
Upon hearing this...
Jin Beichen sat down to the side and said, "A lot of men in black came to assassinate Princess Taiping. They also had archers hidden in the shadows. Although our men repelled them, many were injured. We brought medicine, but not much, so I came to ask if you had any hemostatic medicine. As for me, don't worry, I'm fine, just a few scratches, which have already been treated..."
"Are you really alright?"
Song Xia stared at Jin Beichen and asked.
Jin Beichen nodded, looking at Song Xia pitifully: "Wife, I'm hungry."
"There's some leftover rice from yesterday, I'll go make you some fried rice."
Song Xia turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Not long after.
Song Xia appeared in Jin Beicheng's field of vision with a plate of deluxe fried rice. She not only used eggs, ham, and minced meat, but also shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and green peas to stir-fry together.
Besides these.
Song Xia also prepared a braised egg and a braised chicken leg, put them in a bowl, and a little bit of stir-fried greens.
This fried rice not only looks incredibly appetizing, but it also smells amazing.
"You eat first, I'll go get you some water."
Song Xia went over and poured Jin Beichen a bowl of warm water. Then, thinking about it, she also got him a bottle of beverage with fewer additives.
Jin Beichen devoured the entire plate of fried rice in no time.
We finished all the water, but there was still a little bit of beverage left.
Song Xia felt both sorry for him and a little angry: "Didn't you eat properly while you were escorting people? Don't you know that's bad for your health? Are you stupid...?"
Jin Beichen finished his drink and looked at Song Xia, saying, "I've been eating properly, but the reason I'm so hungry is because we hadn't had a chance to eat today when those men in black arrived. Although they didn't have as many people as we did, there were still several hundred of them, and their strength was no less than ours, so we fought them for a long time..."
I see.
Song Xia stared at Jin Beichen and asked, "Are you in a hurry to go back? If not, I'll make you some soup."
"No."
Jin Beichen didn't want to bother Song Xia so late at night.
"It won't be long..."
Song Xia bought a pressure cooker; with a pressure cooker, soup can be cooked in no time.
She stewed an old hen for him to replenish his qi and blood.
When serving the soup.
Song Xia served Jin Beichen a chicken leg.
Seeing that Song Xia was only holding a bowl with a chicken leg in it, Jin Beichen asked her to get some for herself and drink with him, while he ate the other chicken leg.
Song Xia was a little hungry, so she listened to Jin Beichen and went to get a small bowl of soup. She put the other chicken leg in her own bowl and brought it to the front to eat with him.
The chicken soup was a little hot.
While playing the flute, Song Xia asked Jin Beicheng, "Jin Beicheng, do you know who those men in black are?"
Jin Beichen shook his head.
Before Song Xia could say anything...
Jin Beicheng said, "Although I suspect they were sent by the Ming Dynasty, it's just a suspicion. Without evidence, we can't do anything about them."
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty.
Song Xia casually asked, "Has the Ming Dynasty sent anyone to the Great Sage Dynasty to arrange a marriage?"
"have."
Jin Beicheng returned to Song Xia.
Song Xia put down her soup spoon and said, "If there is, it's more likely related to their country, since they've never gotten along with our country before."
Jin Beichen hummed in response but didn't say anything more.
Worried that this might happen again, Song Xia said to Jin Beichen, "Husband, you must be careful from now on, even after entering the Great Holy Dynasty's territory..."
"I know."
Jin Beichen stayed in the space for less than an hour before leaving.
When I came to the space again.
They have left the Great Saint Border Town.
He told Song Xia that the Great Sage Dynasty had sent people to pick them up.
After listening to his explanation, Song Xia asked, "Where are the people from the Ming Dynasty? Weren't they with you?"
"No."
Jin Beichen continued, "According to the information we've gathered, they arrived at the border city of the Great Sage Dynasty a few days ahead of us, and are now on their way to the Great Sage Imperial Capital, Tianyu City."
One step ahead of them.
Could they have ulterior motives?
Song Xia said, "Husband, you must be careful from now on and contact me from time to time. I will be very worried about you if I don't hear from you."
She had barely finished speaking.
Jin Beichen said to her, "On the way to Tianyu City, there is a very desolate road. It is said that it will take several days and nights to travel. During that time, I may not be able to contact you because we will be resting in the wild. If we are not careful, we may be seen by someone."
"If that's the case, you can come into the space to find me after you've completed that section of the road."
Song Xia returned to Jinbei City.
"good!"
Jin Beichen agreed without hesitation.
The rest of the journey was peaceful.
It was as if the other party had given up on assassinating Princess Taiping.
Song Xia feared this was the calm before the storm, so she reminded Jin Beicheng to be careful every day, to observe more closely, to arrange more patrols, and not to slack off.
After a long journey.
Jin Beichen and his group finally arrived at Tianyu City, the capital of the Great Sage Dynasty.
The officials who received them settled them in a post station in the southern suburbs of the capital.
He told them.
He will bring them into the palace when the Holy Emperor summons them.
Jin Beichen and his group waited for several days.
I waited for five days.
There has been absolutely no news.
Just as Jin Beicheng was about to go to the palace gate to request an audience, Lord Li, who had met them earlier, arrived and said that the Holy Emperor had sent him to escort them into the palace.
The Holy Emperor is forty-five years old this year, and he has gained some weight, with a belly as big as a ball.
Princess Taiping was very unwilling, but she knew she had no choice.
While he was staring at him and scrutinizing him.
Princess Taiping smiled and let him look her over.
Jin Beichen immediately sensed something was wrong with the Holy Emperor; his eyes were reddish, unlike those of a normal person.
"Excellent, excellent!"
After praising Princess Taiping, the Holy Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Consort Yan and granted her residence in Jinhe Palace.
As for Jin Beicheng and the others.
The Holy Emperor waved his hand, signaling them to return home.
Leave here.
Changfeng spoke very quickly: "Master, this Holy Emperor has gone too far. What emperor in any country acts like this? He is showing no respect for our Great Ming Dynasty..."
"Have you forgotten where you are?"
Upon hearing Jin Beicheng's words, Changfeng quickly shut his mouth.
They left the palace.
They boarded the carriage.
Chang'an whispered, "Master, I have a feeling that the Holy Emperor is not right. He seems to have some kind of problem. Could he be sick?"
