If not for this, he would not be Bei Mingxuan, and he would not be someone his father admired. Naturally, he would not be... the Bei Mingxuan who made her heart beat.
"Okay, let's protect you together." Chang'an closed his eyes and snuggled into Bei Mingxuan's arms. "If you do this, I'm sure my parents will be happy."
Many years later, when Bei Mingxuan recalled what he had said to Chang'an, he felt that what he had said was all bullshit.
If he could, he would definitely tell Chang'an that no matter what the circumstances, his only choice would be her...
Two days later, Chang'an and Bei Mingxuan returned to the capital of Shu.
There were still three days left until the Empress Dowager's birthday.
The crown princes and envoys of various countries will also arrive in the capital of Shu within one or two days.
"Your Highness," Fu Cheng said from outside the door, "someone has come from the palace. The Emperor requests that you enter the palace immediately."
Bei Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Chang'an, and said to the outside of the door, "Tell them that I have changed my clothes."
"We just arrived at the mansion." Chang'an said, "Someone from the palace has come. It seems that there are so many spies."
"They're everywhere," Bei Mingxuan said. "But I'm afraid that not only the palace, but also the residences of other princes and ministers probably know that we have returned."
"Yes, who gave you the command of part of the state's troops?" Chang'an thought for a moment, "If my guess is correct, the reason they let you into the palace now should be because they are stationing troops on the border of Shijin State."
Chang An glanced at Ni Beimingxuan and smiled, "That's exactly what you want."
"Nonsense!" Bei Mingxuan's face was stern, but his eyes were filled with a smile he was trying hard to suppress. He pinched the tip of her nose and said, "I just came back from accompanying my beloved wife. I don't know anything. If anything really happens, I'll have to rely on General Gu. After all, he is your uncle."
"..." Chang'an was stunned for a moment, blinking, and muttering in his heart, Bei Mingxuan, can you be any more fake?
She showed an expression that she didn't understand. "I mean, I'm in your arms, what did you hear?"
"!!!" Bei Mingxuan smiled, his eyes full of doting.
Well, if he were to play dumb, he would be ashamed of himself.
In the imperial study.
Surprisingly, when Bei Mingxuan walked in, there was no one there except the emperor.
"Prince Xuan." Eunuch Cheng stood aside, "The Emperor will probably die in the next few days."
"How could it be?" Bei Mingxuan was very surprised. He knew that although the emperor's life span was short, he couldn't die in just a few days...
"The Queen did it, it was my negligence."
At this moment, Bei Mingxuan didn't say anything, but just frowned and waved his hand.
Eunuch Cheng clearly launched the Imperial Study.
"Father." Bei Mingxuan came to the emperor's bed, "My son is back."
At this time, the emperor slowly opened his eyes and said, "I have been waiting for you. Is everything arranged?"
"Everything is fine." Bei Mingxuan confirmed, "Don't worry, father. I'll take care of everything."
The emperor sighed, "How can I be at ease? I can't bear to let go like this. Gu Qingyun is Bei Mingye's man. Although his troops have been assigned to you, it's hard to win back people's hearts."
The emperor couldn't understand why he trusted Gu Qingyun at that time and took away the military power of other families. After so many years of peace, those families had already blunted their claws and fangs, and they were no longer sharp and had no killing power.
The tiger turned into a cat...
"Son, I have my own ideas. Don't worry, Father. Now, you just need to rest and take good care of yourself. In two days it will be the Imperial Grandmother's birthday, and you must appear in front of everyone then."
"I'm worried that my body won't be able to hold on until then." The emperor extended his hand towards Bei Mingxuan, "Help me up."
Bei Mingxuan did as he was told.
"Go and take down the box inside." The emperor ordered.
Bei Mingxuan looked in the direction the emperor was looking, then took the inconspicuous box and placed it in front of the emperor.
"Xuan'er, open it yourself."
Bei Mingxuan opened it and found the imperial edict inside. "...?"
He never expected this and immediately knelt down, "My son's body is an anomaly, Father..."
"Stand up and speak." The emperor interrupted Bei Mingxuan, "But right now, there is no one more suitable than you. If that day ever comes, you must choose the right emperor for my Shuzhou Kingdom. You still have time, but it's a pity that I won't be able to see you and Chang'an's son..."
"We'll talk about offspring later."
The emperor sighed and did not continue the topic. "Let the little servant in your mansion give me the medicine. I must wait until at least the Queen Mother's birthday before I can die. I know that little servant has the ability to do it."
"yes."
The emperor looked at Bei Mingxuan's face. He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Have you found your mother?"
"No." Bei Mingxuan had never contacted his mother at all.
"Keep looking." The emperor's eyes dimmed. "I want to see her. I'm afraid my body won't last much longer, so you have to hurry."
"yes."
"Dongfang Ge has stationed 30,000 troops at the border this time. What do you think?" The emperor closed his eyes. He felt weak all over and felt like he was about to fall asleep.
"At least there won't be any problems in the next few days." Bei Mingxuan said, "After all, their crown prince is still here."
Bei Mingxuan was still waiting for the emperor to speak, thinking that he was just resting his eyes, but it turned out that he had already fallen asleep.
Outside the imperial study.
"Take good care of him. Don't let any mistakes happen again." Bei Mingxuan ordered. "In a moment, the little servant from my palace will come to check your father's pulse."
"Yes." Eunuch Cheng knew that the man was the ghost doctor.
At this time, Fu Cheng came to report anxiously, "Prince."
"explain!"
"Dongfang Ge and Prince Nangong are at home." Fu Cheng said.
After saying that, Fu Cheng noticed a quick flash of worry in Bei Mingxuan's eyes, so he added, "My brother and Bai Lu are always by the princess' side."
Sure enough, Bei Mingxuan's face looked better.
Eunuch Cheng, standing by, looked anxious. "What are they doing? This is against the rules. If anything happens to my...master...princess, how can he, Dongfang Ge, bear the consequences?"
Eunuch Cheng realized that he almost said the wrong thing, and he looked at Bei Mingxuan's face carefully.
He noticed that there was no abnormality on Bei Mingxuan's face, as if he hadn't heard the two words he had said wrongly. He then let out a sigh of relief, "Why don't you go back first, Your Majesty? If there is anything here, I will inform Your Majesty within a certain period of time."
"Thank you, Grandpa Cheng."
After leaving the palace, Bei Mingxuan rushed back to the palace as quickly as possible.
