We didn't stop along the way. I don't know if Xiaoguo was too sensitive, but I always felt like she was in a hurry to get to the capital.
They would rest on the spot at noon and would only go into the county town at night. Xiao Guo was sure that if County Magistrate Liu was not afraid that he could not bear it, he would definitely not want to go into the county town even at night and would just rest on the spot.
This can be seen by asking yourself at least four or five times a day whether your body is feeling well and whether you need to rest.
Xiaoguo thought that there was no harm in doing so, so it would be better to go early and come back early.
Capital city.
"emperor."
Jiang Shanhe was called to Shao Zhan's bedroom early in the morning. Looking at the latecomer, he sat down slowly.
"Sit down and eat."
Shao Zhan also knew that it was early and both of them hadn't eaten yet, so it didn't matter if they ate together. Generally speaking, they hadn't eaten at the same table for a long time.
Jiang Shanhe nodded without pretending to be rude, and walked over and sat down.
The palace maids quickly served the dishes and waited for Shao Zhan to pick up his chopsticks before Jiang Shanhe started eating.
Shao Zhan also noticed Jiang Shanhe's actions and felt helpless. Originally, the two of them didn't need to care about this, but now... Hey...
Both of them maintained a good habit at the dinner table and did not talk while eating.
After finishing their meal, the two moved to the main hall. Today was a day off, so they didn't have to attend the morning court.
Shao Zhan also took a rare day off. He sat on the dragon chair and said helplessly to Jiang Shanhe who was still standing, "Why are we getting more and more unfamiliar with each other?"
Jiang Shanhe was stunned, knowing that he was talking about himself, "After all, there is a difference between the emperor and his subjects..."
A long sigh was heard, Jiang Shanhe looked up at the man with the light behind him, a feeling of loneliness came from him, and he was puzzled in his heart, why is it that after the emperor sat on the throne, his life is so much more tiring than before?
What he was thinking was asked out. Shao Zhan shook his head with a confused look in his eyes. "I wanted revenge before, and now that I succeeded, I'm really not very happy to be in this position."
The saying "It's lonely at the top" is exactly about him.
Jiang Shanhe didn't know how to comfort him, or how to solve the problem. Emperors had all gone through this since ancient times, so what could be done?
Seeing Jiang Shanhe standing there like a piece of wood and not saying anything, how could he continue his performance? How could he say the next words he had prepared?
I could only talk to myself and slowly reach my final destination.
"Tell me, what should I do if you go home?"
Shao Zhan pretended to be pitiful and even called himself ""I", but Jiang Shanhe got angry when he heard it. So that's how it was. After all the talk, he still wanted him to stay.
Looking at Shao Zhan who is still acting, he has used all the threats and inducements these days, but this time he changes to a pitiful attack?
Too bad, this trick didn't work on him.
"emperor."
Jiang Shanhe knelt on one leg with his fists clasped, looking at Shao Zhan seriously. He didn't say anything, but Shao Zhan knew his determination.
It seems that this is the only trick left. I can only wait for Qin Xiaoguo to come. Shao Zhan narrowed his eyes and thought in his mind.
After Jiang Shanhe came out of the palace, he went to the military training ground first. It seemed that he had to prepare everything quickly and deal with it early. He could go home early. If he delayed any further, he didn't know what would happen.
Thanks to the emperor's test, Jiang Shanhe sped up his preparations and spent every day and night in the military training ground. He had no time to look for Li Shouji and let him have a good rest for a few days.

Time passed quickly, and Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang followed the carriage to a small town not far from the capital. As it was too late, both the people and the horses were exhausted after rushing for the past few days, so County Magistrate Liu ordered them to stop and rest for a night.
After traveling for several days, Xiaoguo was finally able to lie on the bed with a mattress. Zhuangzhuang also lay on the bed with Xiaoguo, rolling around comfortably. He really couldn't sleep on the hard wooden board, and the bed was indeed more comfortable.
Xiaoguo rolled around enough, so she stopped and lay quietly on the bed. In the past few days, she would at least stay in the county town at night. However, the closer she got to the capital, the faster she traveled. If she wasn't so tired tonight, County Magistrate Liu would definitely not stop. He might even ask everyone to work harder and rush into the capital in the dark.
With a soft bed and warm water, after finishing a hot dinner, Xiaoguo asked the servant to boil a large basin of hot water so that she could take a good bath.
They have been exhausted from the journey and will be entering the capital tomorrow. Xiaoguo and Zhuangzhuang have to dress themselves up as cleanly as possible, at least not to look dirty.
We have been traveling these past two days, staying in the carriage during the day and at night, and have not had the opportunity to wash up properly. I can feel a lot of dirt on my head and body.
Not to mention Zhuangzhuang, whose cleanliness habit could not help it any longer. If the water in her own space was not limited, Xiaoguo would have found a way to give Zhuangzhuang a bath no matter what.
The waiter quickly poured hot water into the bathtub. Xiaoguo locked the door, opened the screen, and felt the water temperature. It was a little warmer than normal, but Xiaoguo thought it was just right.
"Zhuangzhuang, take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you first."
Xiaoguo came out and watched Zhuangzhuang take off his clothes, then she carried the naked him into the bathtub.
As soon as Zhuangzhuang touched the water, he shouted with pleasure, slapped his arms inside, and his face turned red with excitement.
Xiaoguo didn't stop him, because she knew that he must be crazy from not washing during the whole journey, so she let him have some fun for a while.
Xiaoguo rubbed his back, then applied soap and washed his hair.
A white little person was nestling in the quilt, letting Xiaoguo wipe his hair obediently.
"Mom, go take a shower quickly, it will be cold soon."
Zhuangzhuang grabbed the towel and prepared to wipe himself, and asked Xiaoguo to take a shower quickly. He got sick because the water got cold.
"No, you can't wipe it clean. Mom will wipe it for you. The water can't cool it down. It's still hot. If you don't wipe your hair dry, you will get a headache and get sick."
Xiaoguo took his hand, straightened his head, and continued to wipe his hair.
Zhuangzhuang would never refute Xiaoguo, so he could only pray in his heart, "Hope the hair will dry quickly, Hope the hair will dry quickly, then he can go take a shower."
Xiaoguo didn't know what Zhuangzhuang was thinking. She changed two towels before she dried his hair and then put his underwear on him.
"Just wait for mommy in the quilt, okay?"
Xiaoguo took her spare clothes and gave instructions. After seeing Zhuangzhuang nod obediently, she walked into the screen.
After touching it, she found the water was still hot. Xiaoguo took off her clothes without worry. As soon as she got in, the warm water instantly enveloped Xiaoguo, making her feel a little fluttery.
Xiaoguo didn't dare soak the water for too long. The cold water was no joke, and he didn't like the feeling of being sick.
After quickly washing herself and making sure she was clean, Xiaoguo put on clean clothes and returned to the bed to dry her hair.
Xiaoguo had long and thick hair, so she used four towels to dry it.
"Mom, come in quickly, it's warm now."
Zhuangzhuang saw Xiaoguo put down the towel, so he immediately moved away, leaving the place where he had just laid to warm up for Xiaoguo to lie down.
Xiaoguo did not disappoint Zhuangzhuang's intention, so she quickly crawled into the quilt and lay in the warm place.
βItβs so warm!β
Xiaoguo didn't lie, it was indeed very warm. She didn't expect that Zhuangzhuang was so powerful. He was very similar to his name, strong and powerful.
