After more than a month of rushing and traveling, Jiang Yueyang and others arrived in the capital city exhausted.
Although Jiang Yueyang didn't think she could make Emperor Yuan wake up, she still came back.
Because her father also hopes that she can come back and persuade him.
After saying goodbye to Ye Wuhen, Qin Shi and others, she and Lu Yunting went home to wash up and go to the palace to meet the emperor later.
Soon, they returned to the general's mansion.
The long-lost scene came into view, and Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if to inhale all the scent of this long-lost home into his lungs.
When the housekeeper saw them coming back, he was surprised and delighted. He hurried forward to greet them, and then arranged for the servants to fetch water, prepare clothes and food.
Although he had received news in advance that his masters were coming back, he still couldn't help but feel excited.
Jiang Yueyang took a nice flower petal bath and filled her stomach before slowly heading towards the imperial city.
When the guards guarding the city saw the couple, their eyes widened in surprise.
Although Jiang Yueyang looked more beautiful, the guards still recognized her at a glance.
"Master Xiao Jiang, why are you back? No, no, when did you come back?"
"Today." Jiang Yueyang smiled at them, "I'm in a hurry to go to the palace to see His Majesty, so I won't say any more to you."
The guards came to their senses and hurriedly let him go.
Stepping into the imperial city and seeing the red walls, green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.
The palace maids and eunuchs passing by were all shocked when they saw them, and were a beat slow in their greetings.
At this time in the Huaqing Palace, the Taoist Yun Zhongzi was sitting on a cushion and preaching to Emperor Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the health-preserving elixir was carefully prepared by me. It contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and can help Your Majesty prolong his life and strengthen his body.
However, the way to keep healthy is not only about elixirs, but also about the state of mind. Your Majesty needs to keep a peaceful state of mind and not be disturbed by external things, so as to truly achieve the effect of keeping healthy. "
Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.
Yun Zhongzi continued, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and bears the heavy responsibility of governing the country. However, the affairs of the country are complicated and intricate, so Your Majesty should not work too hard. You should learn to balance work and rest to keep your body healthy."
"I have reduced it to only seven morning court sessions a month. Isn't that enough to combine work and rest?"
"Your Majesty, have you had a lot of dreams and been unable to sleep recently?"
Emperor Yuan frowned, "It is true."
"This is a sign of overwork. Your Majesty needs to take better care of your health and rest more."
Emperor Yuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "I understand."
Afterwards, Yun Zhongzi read the Tao Te Ching to Emperor Yuan. He closed his eyes and read: "From birth to death. There are thirteen people who are born, and there are thirteen people who die. When a person is alive, there are also thirteen people who are moved to death. Why? Because of the thickness of life. It is said that those who are good at preserving life will not avoid rhinoceroses or tigers when walking on land..."
Just as Yun Zhongzi was reciting with great concentration and Emperor Yuan was falling asleep, a young eunuch tiptoed in from outside and whispered something to Li Fuquan.
Li Fuquan's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he reached out without hesitation to gently wake up Emperor Yuan.
Emperor Yuan slowly opened his eyes, and Li Fuquan said softly, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Jiang and the others are back."
"...Jiang Yueyang?" Emperor Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Yes, Lord Xiao Jiang and his men are now seeking an audience outside the palace."
Emperor Yuan frowned slightly, "Why is she back?"
"I don't know. Your Majesty, do you want to summon Lord Xiaojiang and others in to ask them?" Li Fuquan asked cautiously.
Emperor Yuan thought about it and nodded.
Li Fuquan was overjoyed in his heart but did not show it on his face. He just nodded and signaled the eunuch beside him to go out and call the person in.
The young eunuch was not as calm as Li Fuquan. He trotted out with a grin on his face.
Perhaps his movements were too big and startled Yun Zhongzi who was reciting the "Tao Te Ching" incessantly.
He opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Yuan in confusion, and immediately noticed that the atmosphere was wrong.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard noisy footsteps behind him.
He instinctively looked back and saw a man and woman with extraordinary looks walking in, followed by a group of court officials who were at odds with him.
Yun Zhongzi suddenly had a bad feeling and slowly stood up from the cushion.
Jiang Yueyang walked to Yun Zhongzi and stopped, without even looking at him, and said with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I wish that Great Xia will last for thousands of years, and that Your Majesty will live a long and healthy life."
Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, raised his hand to signal her to stand up, and then asked, "Why are you back? Have you finished your inspection?"
Jiang Yueyang curled her lips in her heart and said: [Don’t you know why I came back? You are going to kill yourself. ]
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Everyone's eyes suddenly filled with tears. The familiar feeling came back. His Majesty was saved!
When Yun Zhongzi heard Jiang Yueyang's thoughts, his eyes widened immediately and he didn't know how to react for a moment.
Although he complained in his heart, he said with a worried look on his face: "I heard that Your Majesty was not feeling well. I was extremely anxious, so I dared to come back early. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
After she finished speaking, she coughed meaningfully at Xiaogua.
The system said: [Host, I can't tell anything from the emperor's expression. I need to contact and scan him.]
Emperor Yuan showed displeasure after hearing this. He felt that he was in good health, or perhaps he didn't want his hope of longevity to be dashed, so he was against all the comments that the elixir was bad.
Although Jiang Yueyang did not explicitly point out the elixir, he knew that she was saying that the elixir was not good.
Jiang Yueyang didn't notice Emperor Yuan's expression, and lowered his head to ask the system: [Then can you tell the real age of the white-haired Taoist priest next to me? ]
After taking a look at Yun Zhongzi, the system replied: [Judging from the changes in his eyelids, the protrusion of his eyeballs, the luster of his eyes, the lines around his eyes, and the condition of his blood vessels, this Taoist is about thirty-five years old.]
