The little black dog fell to the ground, exposing its belly, and humming comfortably.
"Woman, how many days will you be gone this time?"
"Don't forget to bring back some bones for the dog."
Xiao Ruyu rubbed its belly and gently touched its head with her forehead.
【If I have time in the future, I will come back to see you. 】
Eleven stood aside and reached out to touch the little black dog.
"Little princess, when I have time in the future, I will bring you back."
The little black dog purred comfortably and rubbed his hand.
"Eleven, come here."
Doctor Yang's voice sounded from behind him, and he waved at him.
【Eleven, Master is looking for you. 】
[You go first, I'll talk to the little black dog. ]
Before leaving, Xiao Ruyu wanted to play with the little black dog for a while.
"Master, what can I do for you?"
Eleven walked up to Doctor Yang and asked respectfully.
Doctor Yang took out a token from his bosom and said, "Master wrote a letter to the Empress a few days ago, saying that he would return to the capital. According to the estimated time, the letter should have reached the government."
"Take the master's token and go get the letter back."
"Yes, Eleven will do it right away."
Eleven took the token and turned to leave when Doctor Yang's voice came with a hint of laughter.
"Eleven, you are so calm and composed, how can you play with the little princess?"
He patted Eleven's shoulder, his eyes full of curiosity.
"this……"
Eleven was speechless for a moment and couldn't explain what was going on.
As Doctor Yang kept staring at him, his cheeks began to turn red.
"Look at this, I'm embarrassed with Master."
Doctor Yang smiled brightly and squeezed his shoulder.
"That's all. Go ahead."
…
After Eleven took the letter back, Doctor Yang opened the envelope impatiently.
"Everything has been received. The Queen will send someone to pick us up."
He slowly read out the contents of the letter, leaning forward slightly.
"That's great. It will make our trip back to Beijing a little safer."
After listening to the contents of the letter, Eleven felt a little more at ease.
"In that case, let's set off as soon as possible."
Xiao Ruyu was called back by Eleven and said goodbye to the little black dog reluctantly.
Seeing her like this, Doctor Yang couldn't help but pick her up and joked.
"Little princess, you are so reluctant to leave. Would you like to stay and keep the little black dog company?"
【Master is teasing me again.】
Xiao Ruyu punched his chest, her face puffed up with anger.
The three of them traveled northwards, and the journey was smooth.
When night fell, they stayed in a small inn.
Xiao Ruyu lay in Eleven's arms, eyes half open, feeling a little drowsy.
At this moment, the door of the originally deserted inn was suddenly pushed open, and four or five people came in at once.
[Who is it?! Is there a bad guy?]
Xiao Ruyu suddenly became 80% sober. She jumped out of Eleven's arms, her head still a little confused, and rushed forward.
[Don't be afraid, Eleven. These bad guys dare to catch up with us! I'll teach them a lesson! ]
Just as she was about to use her spiritual power to rush forward, Doctor Yang grabbed her.
"Hey, wait a minute, little princess!"
He grabbed Xiao Ruyu's collar and pulled her back to his side, "Don't panic, look carefully to see who is coming."
At this moment, the visitor knelt down hastily and saluted, his words full of servility.
"Greetings to the little princess. May the little princess be blessed with good health."
"Meet Lord Yang."
Xiao Ruyu's sleepiness was swept away, and she could see clearly that the person in front of her was wearing clothes with royal totems.
[Is it my mother's man? ]
She turned her head and met Doctor Yang's gaze in surprise. When she saw him nod, she immediately felt that she had been a little reckless.
"I was impulsive."
Xiao Ruyu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and quickly asked them to get up.
"The little princess has been out for so long that even her family members don't recognize her anymore."
Doctor Yang teased, unable to hide his smile.
[Master! I am too sleepy! ]
Seeing that he was teasing her again, Xiao Ruyu's face turned red and she turned her head and hid in Eleven's arms.
[Master only knows how to bully me, Eleven is still the best. ]
"Hey, why do you still rely on Master for this?"
Doctor Yang smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of doting.
After resting for a night in the inn, the group started their journey the next day.
After three days and three nights, Xiao Ruyu noticed that the weather was getting cooler and knew that they had entered the capital city.
She pulled open the curtain of the carriage and saw the familiar city gate in the distance, and her nose couldn't help but feel sore.
【Eleven, we are finally back. 】
With less than an hour's journey to the palace, Doctor Yang ordered them to rest for a while.
As soon as Xiao Ruyu got off the carriage, he heard the Queen's people talking about Prime Minister Lu.
"After Father Lu was demoted, the Emperor issued an order to have someone take his place."
When she heard the news about Prime Minister Lu, she immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Doctor Yang's expression was solemn. He clenched his fists and thought of the bad things Prime Minister Lu had done.
"Your Majesty is very wise."
The Queen's people nodded and continued, "Not only that, the Emperor also issued an order to purge all the forces of Lu's father. All the officials related to him in the palace were demoted or dismissed without exception, but..."
He paused suddenly and sighed.
【But what? 】
Xiao Ruyu also listened nervously, her little hands clenched slightly.
"Although everything seems calm on the surface, Doctor Yang and I are both in the officialdom, so we naturally know that there are countless twists and turns underneath."
The Queen's men looked solemn as they spoke out the answers one by one.
Doctor Yang sighed deeply and patted his shoulder. "You and I both understand this principle. We will have to walk on thin ice in the days ahead. It is best to be careful in everything we do."
The two of them exchanged glances and understood.
Xiao Ruyu couldn't help feeling nervous when she heard all this.
[Daddy is the most fair and selfless. He will decide who is right and who is wrong. Don't worry, Master.]
[Right now, the most important thing for us is to capture Prime Minister Lu. ]
She pursed her lips and frowned.
The Queen's men glanced at her and saw that she looked so serious, so they couldn't help but make a joke.
"The little princess is very smart and seems to understand what is going on."
[I am not small! ]
When Xiao Ruyu saw him teasing her, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Doctor Yang brought her over and pinched her angry smiling face, and his originally solemn expression eased a little.
"The little princess is very temperamental. She naturally knows what is right and wrong, right?"
【Master still understands me. 】
After rubbing his chest, Xiao Ruyu returned to the carriage contentedly.
After more than an hour, everyone finally returned to the palace.
Outside the Queen's Palace, Xiao Ruyu ran into Nanny Cui.
Nanny Cui was the one who always served Empress Duan, but she was not in the palace at this moment, which made her feel confused.
Without waiting for her to greet him, Xiao Ruyu asked first.
"Why aren't you serving in your mother's palace?"
Aunt Cui was startled, "The Queen is ill."
