Chapter 690 Life is important, those empty things are fine
But no matter what the secret is, the two people in front of them will never hurt them.
"We will not panic. If they wanted to hurt us, I'm afraid Sister Ran wouldn't have to save my sister and brother-in-law."
He Qingtuo was very sensible. He bowed solemnly to thank Ran Qingxuan. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he chose to trust him.
The carriage slowly drove into the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city were shocked when they saw the special mark on the carriage, and immediately saluted and let it pass.
He Qingtuo looked through the car window and saw for the first time the scene of the place where his bloodline originated...
The narrow streets were deserted, pedestrians were poorly dressed, and frail children huddled beside their pale-faced mothers, their eyes revealing the unknown and confusion of life...
Although it is called the capital, in reality all you can see are bungalows. The dirt and mess are even more obvious in the daytime. There is no emotion in people's eyes. They just seem to be alive.
"Is this... the capital of Blue Rain Kingdom?" He Qingqing frowned and held her husband's hand tightly.
Lu Adong's honest face also showed a shocked expression: "This... this place is different from the capital of a country I imagined...
I feel like this place isn’t as grand as Silvermoon City…”
The carriage finally stopped at the city gate halfway down the mountain. The city gate was wide open, which was a rare occurrence. An old man with white hair but vigorous spirit came out quickly, surrounded by a crowd of people. It was Sima Hui, the prime minister of Blue Rain Country.
"This old minister respectfully welcomes the young prince and the princess..." Sima Hui's voice trembled, and his eyes fell eagerly on He Qingtuo who had just got off the carriage.
He Qingtuo was very polite to the old man in front of him who was as old as his grandfather. He took a half step back and bowed to Sima Hui.
"I have met this old gentleman."
Sima Hui was stunned for a moment, then he smiled in appreciation: "Great! Great! I never thought that the young master would be so sensible!
This is a blessing for our Blue Rain Country, it is truly a great blessing! ”
Sima Hui couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward boldly to hold He Qingtuo's hand tightly: "It's good that you're here, the young master is home."
Not only Sima Hui, but all the court officials following behind him seemed extremely excited.
"This is the young master, he is truly a rare talent!"
"He looks quite similar to the late emperor, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which are exactly the same..."
He Qingqing followed closely behind him, and seeing her brother being surrounded and praised by a group of strangers, she was suddenly worried that He Qingtuo might not be able to adapt.
When Lu Adong noticed this, he gently put his arm around his wife's shoulders and gave her silent comfort.
"I guess this is the princess?" Sima Hui let go of He Qingtuo and walked towards He Qingqing, his eyes full of kindness.
"I didn't expect that Her Highness is so smart and charming. I am impressed..."
Having come this far, He Qingqing naturally would not embarrass her brother, and she saluted respectfully: "Meet this old gentleman..."
Sima Hui saw that the brother and sister had been taught very well and nodded repeatedly. After feeling pleased, she looked at Lu Adong who was standing beside her in a naive manner.
Earlier, he had heard from He Fanxiong that He Qingqing was already married. He was originally worried that the princess' husband would suddenly find out about her change of status and whether he would...
With a scrutinizing look in his eyes, Sima Hui quickly put his heart back in his stomach.
"The county lord is tall and majestic. The princess has found a good husband!"
Lu Adong scratched his head in a simple manner, and bowed awkwardly: "Hello, old... old gentleman..."
Sima Hui smiled slightly, took a step back with the court officials who came to greet him, and suddenly knelt down in front of several people.
"Your Highness Sima Hui, I respectfully welcome the Crown Prince and the Princess. Lord Princess, please come home!"
"Your Highness and I respectfully welcome the Crown Prince and the Princess..."
All of a sudden, a large group of people knelt down, and they were all elders than them.
He Qingqing was not used to it for a moment and went forward to help the person up.
Ran Qingxuan hurriedly pulled the person back and shook his head at her.
Although He Qingtuo had not yet adapted, he recalled what his great grandfather had taught him. With a firm look on his childish face, he spoke slowly, "Stand up!"
Sima Hui and the court officials were delighted to see that He Qingtuo adapted quickly.
After standing up, Sima Hui turned and bowed deeply to Gu Yanchen and Ran Qingxuan.
"Thank you both for helping Blue Rain. The Blue Rain royal family and the people of Blue Rain will never forget your kindness!"
Gu Yanchen gave him a false helping hand, and Ran Qingxuan smiled and said, "It's better to forget about it. After all, as of now, Blue Rain and Northern Qi are still enemies.
Our family was exiled for treason. If Blue Rain is involved, we will have no good days in the future! ”
Sima Hui sighed heavily with gratitude in his eyes.
"Every country has good and bad people. There are some things that people can know, praise and be grateful for...
Some things can only be buried deep in the heart..."
Gu Yanchen chuckled and shook his head: "It's good that Prime Minister Sima knows it. My husband and I don't take such things to heart, so there's no need to sing praises or express gratitude."
Life is important, those empty things don't matter...
"Then let's go to the palace together. His Majesty has already set up a banquet, and there are many court officials waiting to see the prince and the princess."
After entering the palace, He Fanxiong pulled the siblings to his front with a complicated expression. When he was about to say something, He Qingtuo shook his head at him sensibly.
"Grandfather, I understand."
Coming from the mouth of a teenager, these words can't help but make people cry.
Upon seeing this, Sima Hui stepped forward and personally introduced the current situation of Blue Rain Country to He Qingtuo. He Qingtuo listened carefully and occasionally asked questions, showing a calmness and wisdom beyond his age.
"Grandfather, I would like to first understand the main problems that Blue Rain Country is currently facing."
He Qingtuo said, with a determined light in his eyes: "Since this is my responsibility, I hope to take it up as soon as possible."
He Fanxiong nodded with satisfaction and ordered someone to bring the map and memorial.
He Qingqing watched her brother discussing state affairs with their grandfather, feeling both proud and distressed. Her brother, the child who once followed her around asking for candy, was now ready to shoulder the weight of a country.
During the morning court session, in addition to important officials such as Prime Minister Sima Hui and General Han Yi, there were other court officials standing in the hall who had received the news and arrived early.
He Fanxiong formally introduced He Qingtuo's identity to everyone, but he did not use his identity as He Fanxiong as a starting point...
"Back then, the Queen and I had a son. I realized that Balanch was planning to use poisonous insects to control the young son and usurp the throne one day, so I pretended to be dead and secretly sent the prince away."
The only people who knew about it were loyal ministers such as Sima Hui and Han Yi. When other ministers heard He Chengxuan say this, their expressions changed.
"When the eldest prince died, the whole country was in grief. It turned out that all this was done to keep the eldest prince away from disputes..."
"Your Majesty has good intentions. Now that Balanch is dead, it is time to bring back the eldest prince and the crown prince..."
"right..."
"yes..."
