"That's true," Meiya nodded, and as she put her arms around Zhong Mingwei's neck, she said hesitantly, "But if His Majesty doesn't plan to let us return to Ningguta and wants us to stay in the capital forever, what should we do?"
"No," Zhong Mingwei said firmly, "This time it should be the Queen Mother who left a will before her death, insisting that I, the eldest grandson, must go back to attend the funeral. That's why my father had no choice but to send Commander Ma to take us to the capital. If it wasn't the Queen Mother's intention, I really can't imagine why my father would suddenly think of me at this time."
Yes, Zhong Zhiheng hated him so much that he didn't even care about his life or death, so how could he be so merciful as to allow him to return to Beijing to attend the Queen Mother's funeral and take this opportunity to erase all the charges against him?
Zhong Zhiheng would not do this. He was never a king who would regret and turn back, but he was definitely not without a kind fatherly heart. So the only possibility was that Zhong Zhiheng agreed to the empress dowager's dying request, and therefore had to let this annoying evildoer return to Beijing for the funeral. He was afraid that as soon as the empress dowager was buried, he and Mei Ya would be driven back to Ningguta again.
This is fine. He definitely doesn't want to stay in the capital, and...
Zhong Zhiheng is not young anymore. He is in his early fifties. No matter how hard he tries, his health is declining. He is afraid that the princes in the capital are beginning to get restless. As the eldest prince who once ruled the East Palace, it is natural that the lower his presence is, the better.
"That's good," Mei Ya felt relieved, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, why is the King of Pingxi suddenly willing to marry the Turkic princess? I thought..." Mei Ya stopped abruptly here and swallowed the following sentence "He will never marry for the sake of Queen Zhenxian."
"This time when I returned to the capital, the Prince of Pingxi first personally overthrew the Xu family, and then secretly worked hard to earn me the title of Prince of An. He avenged the Empress Zhenxian and stood up for me. He has done his best. I am afraid that the knot in his heart has been untied. Maybe he can finally open his heart," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, "I am actually very relieved that he can get married. After all, he is only fifty years old. No matter how powerful he is, he should have a woman who understands his feelings. It is his blessing that he can figure it out."
"It's your blessing that you can figure it out." Mei Ya said softly.
"What do I have to figure out? It's none of my business," Zhong Mingwei smiled indifferently, but a voice in his heart was asking, is this really none of your business? Why does the King of Pingxi protect you in every possible way? Why does His Majesty hate you so much? What exactly are you...?
"Yes, it's none of our business," Mei Ya was busy laughing, holding Zhong Mingwei's face and kissing him, then smiled and said, "If it's not on our land, it's none of our business."
…
"What? You're going to the capital?" Xiao An looked at Pang Yi in panic, "Why do you suddenly want to go to the capital?"
"The Queen Mother passed away, and His Majesty sent Commander Ma to take me and my wife to the capital to attend the funeral," Pang Yi explained. He looked at Xiao An with a look of deep reluctance, "I have to go with her."
Pang Yi is Zhong Mingwei's personal bodyguard, so he cannot leave Zhong Mingwei. Xiao An can understand this, but she feels indescribable pain in her heart.
"How long will it take?" Xiao An asked in a deep voice.
"It will take at least four to five months to go back and forth," Pang Yi said. He looked at Xiao An with her head lowered, and felt bad. He sat down, stretched out his hand to pull Xiao An into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and then whispered, "Why don't you come with us?"
"No..." Xiao An hurriedly shook her head and said, "Madam is fine, but her appearance has changed so much that no one can recognize me. If I go back to Beijing, I'm afraid I will definitely be recognized."
