After leaving the city, Gao Shan brought two young men.
"My Lord, this one is Wu Yong, and this one is Shao Yang. They were arranged by Crown Prince Liu to come back with us. They are two young generals around the Crown Prince.
"Greetings, Master Shangguan." The two of them greeted each other politely.
"Young Master, our Emperor is seriously ill and might be in danger. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked us to get him there as quickly as possible, as he is afraid that the Emperor cannot wait." The young general named Wu Yong stepped forward and bowed, requesting.
"I understand. We'll speed up after we're three hundred miles away from Beijing." Shangguan Ziqi was also afraid that the five hundred thousand taels of silver that his wife loved would be lost.
The group continued to move forward.
Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng rode in a carriage, while Cao Jinyu stood outside the carriage like a bodyguard.
Yu Yuanzheng felt that he was in a superior position. Being the bodyguard of Prince Jing, no one else could do that.
Three hundred days had passed on the first day.
"Husband, let me ride a horse too. It will be much faster. Riding a carriage is too slow." Yu Yuanzheng felt that her riding skills should allow her to ride long distances.
"Riding a horse is very tiring." Shangguan Ziqi was afraid that she couldn't bear it.
"No, let's hurry up and get on the road. When I can't stand it anymore, we'll take the carriage again. Let's save as much time as possible." Since Yu Yuanzheng had accepted the job, of course he hoped that it could be done. Otherwise, why would he travel so far?
At this moment, she really missed the cars and planes in her previous life, but she could only think about them.
"All right."
The couple dressed up as a group of miracle doctors and put on masks.
However, the miracle doctor has a sworn brother: Cao Jinyu.
He also put on a mask.
The carriage was directly paid to the innkeeper in exchange for the room rate.
A man came out on horseback, and his speed was obviously much faster.
After rushing like this for ten days, they finally arrived at Shujing, the capital of Southern Shu.
Yu Yuanzheng was exhausted.
However, her riding skills improved a lot along the way, and she felt that she could ride a horse into the battlefield and kill the enemies.
It was just that the area between her legs was painful, but she had a solution. She wrapped some more cloth around her thighs and it got much better.
Prince Liu had already sent people to wait outside the capital, and as soon as they saw them coming, they immediately took them to the Prince's Mansion.
When Prince Liu saw Shangguan Ziqi again, he was slightly surprised to see that he was wearing a mask again. He was still like that even though he knew his identity.
I knew what he meant. He didn't want to show up in Southern Shu as Shangguan Ziqi.
When Yu Yuanzheng met Prince Liu, he was completely different from the first time he met him. He was dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a golden crown. His aura and image had completely changed.
"Greetings to the Crown Prince of Southern Shu." Yu Yuanzheng bowed in a formal manner.
"Dr. Zeng, it is a great honor for us to have you here." Prince Liu was very polite to the doctor, but Shangguan Ziqi did not receive such treatment.
"No problem. I'm here for the medical fee you gave me. You can't go back on your word." Yu Yuanzheng's words were vulgar but frank.
"Don't worry, as long as your father can get better, not a single thing will be lost. Even if he doesn't get better, as long as you have tried your best, you will give me 100,000 taels to thank him for saving your life."
"Prince Liu is straightforward." Yu Yuanzheng was very satisfied with his answer. It was worth all the hard work along the way.
In Prince Liu's heart, Yu Yuanzheng was the one who truly saved them. Shangguan Ziqi was just lucky to become sworn brothers with the miracle doctor.
Does he want him to become sworn brothers with the miracle doctor?
This way, he will have an extra layer of protection in the future.
But now is not the time to think about that.
"Everyone, you must be tired from the journey. Wash up first and rest for a night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the palace."
Prince Liu is very considerate to the miracle doctor.
The chief steward of the Prince's Mansion immediately began to make arrangements.
Shangguan Ziqi brought nearly forty people with him.
When Prince Liu found out, he said nothing and just asked the steward to make the arrangements.
How could the eldest son of the Rong Palace not have anyone on his side? However, it can also be seen from this that he really cares about the genius doctor and brought so many people to protect him along the way.
Shangguan Ziqi asked Yu Yuanzheng to have a good rest.
After washing up, he asked to see Prince Liu.
Prince Liu invited people to his study.
Jie saw that there were two people coming in.
At the beginning he saw this person following them, but they didn't introduce themselves and he didn't ask, so he thought they were guards.
"I wonder who this is?"
Cao Jinyu took off his mask, revealing his handsome face: "Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Shu."
"Look, you are the Prince of Jing. I didn't expect you to be here too. Why didn't you reveal your identity just now?" Crown Prince Liu had been on a diplomatic mission to the Wei Dynasty, so of course he knew him.
"The prince is either a hero or a guard. It doesn't matter."
"Are you also familiar with the miracle doctor?" Prince Liu was surprised.
When this miraculous doctor appeared, he was escorted by two such capable young men in the capital of Wei.
It seems that his idea of keeping people here is difficult to achieve.
"He is my father's adopted son and the adopted brother of the Crown Prince. In my father's heart, she is more favored than me, his son."
"Oh! It turns out to be like this." Prince Liu sighed in his heart.
Why isn't this talent from his country of Southern Shu?
"Prince Liu, what is the current situation of your Southern Shu Kingdom?" Shangguan Ziqi asked Zheng Xian.
The two people who went to pick up the people, Wu Yong and Shao Yang, knew very little.
"Hey, it was thanks to you that you sent five brothers to escort us back, otherwise I would have really died outside.
Thank you Brother Shangguan for your help. "Liu Dekun stood up and bowed deeply to Shangguan Ziqi.
"No problem."
"After returning to the capital, the emperor found a way to enter the palace and see his father, and then he exposed his younger brother's conspiracy.
But he had already controlled most of the palace, and my father's dragon guards were limited in number and could not stop him.
After he escaped from the capital with the help of General Xi and his son, the imperial palace sent people to chase him, but he had already lost the initiative.
If the prince had just returned to the capital, there would be no time to arrange anything.
My father's life is at stake, and I don't have much time to prepare for the harem.
Otherwise, the concubine would not have risked entering the palace. Fortunately, my father's dragon guards are quite capable."
When Liu Dekun talked about what happened during those days, he was still terrified.
If he had come back a few days later, his father would have passed away, and his younger brother would have controlled the government and ascended the throne quickly. Even if he came back, it would have been too late and he would have been killed.
"Given your current situation, you don't have to save your father." Shangguan Ziqi deliberately tested him and spoke very boldly.
It is very interesting that Liu Dekun went all the way to Wei to ask for help from his father who was blocking his ascension to the throne.
"Brother Shangguan, the father of the Emperor is already 48 years old. After this poisoning, his health is no longer as good as before. No one can predict how long he can live.
"We in Nanshu rule the world with filial piety. Your Highness is both a prince and a crown prince, so we must set a good example. It is our duty to let our father live the rest of his life in peace."
Liu Dekun spoke of his filial piety in a righteous manner.
Shangguan Ziqi listened, nodded, and smiled with an ambiguous meaning.
Prince Liu is a very good person. He is already eighteen years old, so it is normal for him to be mature and experienced.
The emperor won't live long anyway, and now the prince has become a lost cause. He has no competitors, so why not show his filial piety to the fullest and win the hearts of all the civil and military officials in the court.
The character of the emperor also largely determines the degree of loyalty of his subjects.
"You did a good job." Shangguan Ziqi said this like an elder, which made Liu Dekun feel strange.
