"But Your Majesty, if I stay to protect Tingzhou, who will protect Your Majesty?"
"I can protect myself. Besides, Lin Qi will go with us, so you can rest assured."
Sun Er frowned, "Xu San will definitely be kept in Xizhou by the prince, so let Ban Si also go to Chang'an with the prince!"
Although Ban Si's martial arts skills are not that good, he is better than anyone else in researching weapons.
Having him along can increase our combat power and often have unexpected effects.
Li Junyan thought about it, then shook his head and refused, "He doesn't need to go. If anything really happens, I will still be needed to protect him."
The moment he heard this, Sun Er wanted to laugh.
The prince's words were almost saying that Ban Si was holding back.
But Sun Er had to admit that what he said was absolutely correct.
If a fight really breaks out, Ban Si will definitely be the one holding back and will need someone to protect him.
"Can--"
Sun Er wanted to say something more, but Li Junyan raised his hand and waved, "Needless to say, the Goddess will collect the weapons that Ban Si has researched and will hand them over to me when I need them."
Sun Er's eyes lit up instantly!
yes!
There is also a goddess!
The goddess is so powerful. As long as the goddess is around, is there any need to worry about the prince's safety?
Thinking of this, Sun Er relaxed completely.

Two hours passed in a flash.
Li Junyan changed into clothes suitable for riding, and took Lin Qi, a dozen other guards, and followed Eunuch Qian and others back to Chang'an.
When Eunuch Qian and others came, they also rode horses.
Now we have to go back and we are in a hurry, so of course we have to ride a horse.
Everyone else could ride horses, but Zhao Wanxi had been spoiled since she was a child and couldn't even get on a horse, let alone ride it. She could only ride in a carriage with her maid.
With this carriage around, the speed of travel dropped sharply.
Although Eunuch Qian was a little unhappy, he was afraid that he would be punished by the emperor if he returned late.
But he also promised Minister Zhao that he would bring Zhao Wanxi back safely, so no matter how reluctant he was, he had to endure it.
At the same time, a few more horses were added to pull the carriage, trying to make the carriage run faster.
Although Zhao Wanxi had ridden in a carriage before, the carriages always ran very slowly. It wasn't as if she was walking on flat ground, but there definitely wasn't much of a bumpy ride either. Overall, it was definitely not painful.
But now, the carriage was running wildly and shaking extremely fast. Not only was she about to be shaken to pieces, she was also about to vomit bile.
But Zhao Wanxi didn't dare to ask them to walk slower.
Eunuch Qian represents not only himself, but also the emperor's intentions.
No matter how precious she is, can she compare with the emperor?
Zhao Wanxi could only not eat or drink, and tried to lie down as much as possible, with thick bedding covering her body, which made her feel a little more comfortable.
While lying down, Zhao Wanxi's brain was constantly thinking about problems.
What will be waiting for them when they return to Chang'an this time?
Whatever it was, she just hoped that she would not be implicated.
When she returns to the Shangshu Mansion safely, the Prince of Chen, the goddess, the emperor, the prince, all of these will have nothing to do with her anymore.
Five days later.
We have arrived in Chang'an.
They arrived in Chang'an in the morning and as soon as they got outside the city, they saw a long queue.
These are the people queuing up to enter the city, and they are all waiting for inspection.
Eunuch Qian did not stop, but walked alongside the team to the city gate.
The general standing at the city gate trotted down as soon as he saw Eunuch Qian.
"Greetings to Prince Chen, Eunuch Qian! Eunuch Li! You're back! We've already given instructions that if you return, go straight in. The Emperor is waiting!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Qian also laughed, his smile full of satisfaction.
"We have completed the tasks assigned by the Emperor and will return to report. Your Majesty, please come and join us!"
Li Junyan said nothing and rode his horse into the city first.
Looking at Li Junyan's back, a gloomy look flashed across Eunuch Qian's eyes.
You are going to die soon, why be so arrogant!

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
Eunuch Qian walked in, exhausted, and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, I am back. I have fulfilled my mission and brought Prince Chen back."
The emperor didn't even raise his head. His voice was calm and emotionless. "Have you ever seen the goddess?"
Eunuch Qian looked up in surprise. Wasn’t his mission to bring Prince Chen back?
What does it have to do with the goddess?
He wasn't told before that he wanted to meet the goddess!
"this......"
