The next day, the east was slightly bright.

The eighth day of May is the day when the Emperor of Dayan prays for the people of Dayan. Jiang Li was woken up by Nanny Zhou early in the morning.

"I have caught a cold and cannot accompany Your Majesty to the Fo'an Temple. Your Majesty, please be careful during the few days you are at the Fo'an Temple."

Nanny Zhou covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, fearing that she would catch a cold.

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I will take good care of myself. Ma'am, just rest and recuperate in the palace. Don't worry about me."

After packing everything up, Jiang Li left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity. Nanny Zhou accompanied her all the way and followed her to the entrance of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity with a look of worry in her eyes that was hard to conceal.

If she had not caught a cold, she would have accompanied His Majesty to the Fo'an Temple this time. But things did not go as planned, and without her to serve him, His Majesty could only take care of himself.

"Mammy, please go back."

Jiang Li came to the carriage that the palace servants had prepared long ago and turned to look at Nanny Zhou.

Nanny Zhou nodded and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, please be extra careful on this trip."

This time, Jiang Li had to go to the Fo'an Temple far away in the suburbs to pray for the people, and the journey would take a whole day.

Although things seem calm in Dayan now, in fact, those princes have never stopped dreaming of the throne. Now that Jiang Li has left the palace, those behind the scenes must have been unable to hold back any longer!

"Don't worry, with my uncle here, I'll be fine."

Jiang Li gave Nanny Zhou a comforting look, then walked towards the carriage in front of her.

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Eunuch Zhu bent down and stretched his arm in front of Jiang Li. Jiang Li put her hand on his wrist and stepped onto the bench in front of the carriage.

When the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, Jiang Li was stunned and looked at the figure sitting in the sedan chair in disbelief.

"Uncle?"

Chu Huaizhi was sitting upright in a black robe, his deep phoenix eyes rippled when he saw Jiang Li.

"Why is the emperor's uncle here?"

Chu Huaizhi explained: "In case there are any accidents on the road, I will protect your majesty closely."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Jiang Li curled the corners of her mouth, then bent down and got into the carriage.

The interior of the carriage is extremely spacious, and the interior decorations are luxurious and restrained. There are seats on the left and right sides and in the front. Chu Huaizhi sits on the seat on the left, leaving the main seat for Jiang Li.

After Jiang Li got into the carriage, she changed into clean shoes and walked directly to the front seat on the soft cushion inside the carriage.

There is a desk in the middle of the carriage, on which are placed pens, inkstones, classical books and chessboards. One would not feel bored at all even if one sits in it for three days.

After Jiang Li sat firmly, Eunuch Zhu shouted, and the coachman immediately drove the carriage out of the palace.

The moment the carriage started moving, Chu Huaizhi closed his eyes and began to doze off. For a moment, the atmosphere in the carriage became a little awkward.

Jiang Li took a look at Chu Huaizhi's expression and knew that he was not asleep, so she asked tentatively: "Uncle, will you play a game of chess with me?"

Chu Huaizhi slowly opened his eyes, stood up and sat on the cushion in front of him.

Seeing this, Jiang Li also lifted up her robe and sat down. Because the sleeves of her robe were too wide, she accidentally knocked over the chess tube, and the chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Your Majesty, do you need my help?"

Eunuch Zhu, who was outside the carriage, asked after hearing the noise inside.

"No need, I'll just pick it up."

After Jiang Li finished speaking, she began to pick up the chess pieces on the cushion, and Chu Huaizhi also helped to pick them up.

Jiang Li picked up the pieces while counting the number of pieces that fell into the chess tube. When there was only one left, she leaned forward.

She was about to pick up the last chess piece when another hand was one step faster than her.

In the end, Chu Huaizhi held the chess piece, and Jiang Li held his hand...
