The two princes didn't understand. In the imperial court, except for Yuqing who already had self-esteem, from the second to the fifth grade, when they heard Yu Xiaoxiao's words "you know", they immediately covered their butts subconsciously. .. They understood that if they didn't obey and became bad boys, they would wait for the imperial sister to come back and beat them. The matter would not be over until their little butts were beaten to pieces.
The group of people stood and talked in several groups. After two incense sticks of time, Gu Xinglang finally sat on his horse and gave the order, "Let's go."
Yu Xiaoxiao rode on the horse, waved goodbye to her father, the emperor, her two uncles, and her brothers, and left a message: "I will be back!"
Xianzong didn't know why, but he felt heartbroken after hearing his daughter's words.
After Yu Xiaoxiao and her group walked away, Xianzong and his group returned to the city. Two yamen runners and Zhao Beicheng in prison uniform walked out of the south gate.
Zhao Beicheng stood in front of the South City Gate and looked at the official road heading south for a while. He also heard that the Princess and her husband were leaving Beijing for Zhuque today. However, at this moment, people were coming and going on the official road, and Yu Xiaoxiao's figure had long disappeared.
Emperor Xianzong originally wanted to kill Zhao Beicheng, but he couldn't resist his daughter's unwillingness to let him die, so he sentenced Zhao to exile in the southwest. Today is not only the day when Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang leave Beijing, but also the day when Zhao Beicheng leaves Beijing.
Zhao Ergong and his brother ran out of the city and immediately saw their tall elder brother in the crowd. Zhao Ergong hurriedly called out, "Big brother."
Zhao Beicheng turned around and saw that it was his younger brother who came to see him off. There was no expression on his face.
The Zhao brothers walked up to Zhao Beicheng and felt a little embarrassed when they saw their eldest brother's lukewarm attitude.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Beicheng asked.
Zhao Ergong said, "Brother, our father asked us to come and see you off."
Mr. Zhao handed a bundle to Zhao Beicheng and said, "Brother, here are some silver and dry food, take them with you."
Zhao Sigong gave money to the two yamen runners who were escorting his eldest brother, saying, "My eldest brother, please help me." Zhao Sigong was born rich, so how could he say such words to a small yamen runner? So he looked embarrassed when he spoke, but he still said the polite words.
The two yamen runners had no reason to refuse the money. After receiving the money, one of the yamen runners said to the Zhao family masters, "Don't worry, we will take good care of you."
Zhao Beicheng's expression was still indifferent. He handed the bag that his brother had stuffed into his pocket to the yamen runner behind him and said, "I'm leaving."
"Brother," Lord Zhao hurriedly stopped Zhao Beicheng and said, "Father is seriously ill and is now bedridden, so he can't come to see you off."
When Zhao Qiu Ming sent someone to kill him, Zhao Beicheng knew that it would be impossible for him and Zhao Qiu Ming to have a loving and filial father in this life, so after hearing his brother say that his father was seriously ill, Zhao Beicheng just said, "Then let him take good care of himself."
Zhao Ergong was the most straightforward of the four brothers. Seeing Zhao Beicheng's attitude, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are you blaming father?"
"I made a big mistake myself," Zhao Beicheng said, "Don't blame others. Take care of yourselves and don't worry about me."
Lord Zhao's face darkened slightly, and he asked, "Brother, what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Beicheng looked at his brother and said, "Just treat me as dead."
After Zhao Beicheng finished speaking, he walked towards the official road in the southwest. It would be good to serve as a soldier in the poor mountains and bad waters of the southwest. He would finally have a chance to atone for his sins. As for the Zhao family, what else could he do if he abandoned it?
Lord Zhao Er wanted to give chase but Lord Zhao raised his hand to stop him.
Zhao Ergong watched the people from Zhaobei City walking further and further away, and asked anxiously, "Does he hate us?"
Lord Zhao sighed softly, turned around and said, "Once father has passed this test, he will let eldest brother return to the capital." Lord Zhao didn't know what his father had done in private, but he knew the purpose of his father asking them brothers to go out of the city to send their eldest brother out. In their Zhao family, Zhao Beicheng had the best achievements in the army. If their Zhao family could get through the current difficulties, then this eldest brother would still be useful to their Zhao family.
The yamen runner looked at the bundle in his hand and whispered to Zhao Beicheng, "Mr. Zhao, since you don't want to have anything to do with the Zhao family anymore, why do you accept their things?"
Zhao Beicheng then smiled and said, "If they want to give it to me, I'll take it. This mountain is high and far away, and there is no reason for me to suffer."
The two yamen runners smiled at each other. This Mr. Zhao was a man who was open-minded.
The Zhao brothers entered Fengjing City again. Looking at the bustling streets in front of the city gate and the newly hung red lanterns on the city tower, the fourth Lord Zhao and his two brothers suddenly realized, "Is the New Year coming soon?"
Mr. Zhao Er and Mr. Zhao were both stunned. These days were so difficult that they hadn't realized that the end of the year was approaching unknowingly.
Zhao Qiu Ming was lying on the bed at this time, listening to the housekeeper telling him about the scene of Yu Xiaoxiao and her group leaving Beijing.
"Didn't they look at the birthday gift again?" Zhao Qiu Ming asked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said, "In reply to the Prime Minister, I have seen it from beginning to end, and the princess did not order anyone to check the birthday gifts again."
Zhao Qiuming said, "Is that so."
The housekeeper looked at Zhao Qiuming and asked hesitantly, "Prime Minister, the New Year is coming soon, doesn't the mansion need to prepare?"
Zhao Qiuming turned his head to look at the housekeeper and said, "Is the New Year coming soon?"
The housekeeper said hurriedly, "Yes."
Zhao Qiuming suddenly smiled and sighed, "Another year has passed."
The housekeeper didn't dare to respond to Zhao Qiu Ming's words.
"Take the time to prepare," Zhao Qiu Ming said, "We still have to celebrate the New Year."
The housekeeper responded repeatedly, saying that it was good that his prime minister was still in the mood to celebrate the New Year, which showed that his prime minister was still alive.
"The end of the year is approaching, but Her Royal Highness the Princess is traveling far away," Zhao Qiu Ming whispered, "It seems that my life is still easier than the Princess'."
The Zhao family's chief steward dared not respond even more.
What was Yu Xiaoxiao doing at this time? The princess looked at Miss Qian riding beside her and asked in surprise, "Why are you here too?"
Miss Qian said, "I want to go to Suzaku too, so we just happened to be on the right track."
Looking at Xiong Er, who was snatched from Xiao Zhuang by Miss Qian and held in her arms, Yu Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes and said, "If you like Xiao Zhuang, you two should get married. Is it fun to torment Xiong Da and Xiong Er all day long?"
Miss Qian immediately changed her expression to Yu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Are we sisters? Is that the best friend you mentioned?"
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded in admission. If she didn't curry favor with a rich man she met, she would be stupid.
"My best friend, please don't mention that bastard Gu Zhuang in front of me anymore!" Miss Qian sternly demanded to Yu Xiaoxiao.
