Go to the capital city.
Ji Mingxi was sitting at the desk, writing with great concentration.
Outside, officials from the Ministry of Personnel came and went leisurely, chatting and joking.
The Grand Secretary, who was on good terms with Ji Mingxi, came in with a worried look on his face.
He closed the door and sighed when he saw Ji Mingxi: "Alas."
Ji Mingxi was still writing without looking up.
The Grand Secretary walked over and said, "The Ministry of Personnel has been busy lately, but I see everyone outside is relaxed. Why are you the only one who——"
But when he got closer and saw Ji Mingxi copying Buddhist scriptures, the university scholar paused.
"Alas, only you, Brother Mingxi, can keep your composure." The Grand Secretary sighed again, "Everyone has been worried sick lately, even the Empress is ill."
"Now that spring is turning into summer and the weather is getting warmer, it's normal to catch a cold." After copying a Buddhist scripture, Ji Mingxi put down his brush, carefully picked up the paper, and then placed it on the table by the window to dry in the sun.
The Grand Secretary's eyes followed Ji Mingxi. "Brother Mingxi! We haven't heard from the Crown Prince in several days. The Queen has sent many people out to investigate, but there's still no news."
Ji Mingxi comforted him, "No news is the best news."
Grand Secretary: "Ming Shuangke is here too, Brother Mingxi, are you really not worried?"
Hearing this, Ji Mingxi brushed his clothes and sat down at the desk again, re-grinding his thoughts. "Mingshuang has always loved traveling. He has many connections and connections. With his abilities, I think nothing serious will happen to him."
The Grand Secretary spread his hands out and shook them vigorously: "But what if?"
"If that's the case, as his elder brother, there's nothing I can do for him." Ji Mingxi picked up the brush again and looked at the Grand Secretary. "Do you know what our best option is right now?"
The Grand Secretary asked, "What?"
"Let's copy Buddhist scriptures and pray for them." Ji Mingxi said.
Grand Secretary: “…”

The prince woke up three days later.
After waking up, the prince was somewhat depressed when he learned that all his attendants were wiped out.
But what made the prince most disheartened was that the person behind this was his father.
The prince was very familiar with the eyes of the man in black who shot the last arrow at him.
When Ji Mingshuang was carrying him on his back, fleeing all the way to Liangzhou, the prince thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered the familiar eyes that he had seen by chance once when he was with his father.
Those are the secret guards who protect my father's safety.
Whenever the prince encountered problems or felt confused in the capital, he would go to Ji Mingxi.
As long as the prince talks to Ji Mingxi and gets some words of advice, he will feel much better.
But now in Liangzhou, although Ji Mingxi is not by the prince's side, he has three children of the Ji family.
The prince was the same age as Ji Mingxi, and was six years older than all of his brothers and sisters. He didn't interact much with the Ji family's brothers and sisters, but for Ji Mingxi's sake, he always treated them as his own brothers and sisters.
If I can’t tell Ji Mingxi, it would be okay to talk to Ji Mingxi’s brothers and sisters.
Yun Xi has been smart since she was a child, and the prince knows it.
But he didn't look for her first. After all, there is a difference between men and women. He has a Crown Princess and she has a husband. In addition, his mother has always asked him to marry her since he was a child, so the Crown Prince has been very shy about it over the years.
He was afraid that if he got too close, his mother would think he had an opportunity and do something inappropriate.
The prince knew the personalities of the people in the Ji family very well. If his mother really did that, his relationship with the Ji family would be truly alienated.
Coincidentally, Ji Mingshuang came to visit.
The prince sat up from the bed.
Ji Mingshuang gave him a hand and said, "Your Highness's injuries have not fully healed yet, please be careful."
The prince sat in front of the bed and waved his hand: "It's okay, I was looking for you."
"Is there anything I can do for you, Your Highness?" Ji Mingshuang asked.
The prince looked at Ji Mingshuang, who seemed respectful and somewhat introverted, and for a moment he didn't know where to start expressing his feelings.
During the entire escape, the Crown Prince and Ji Mingshuang spent most of the time staring at each other in silence.
The prince began by offering a tentative greeting: "I'm so grateful for your help along the way, Mingshuang. If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago."
Ji Mingshuang said politely, "Your Highness, your compliment is unmerited. Protecting the Crown Prince is my duty."
The prince paused and continued, "That being said, if anything happens to you, I don't know how I will explain it to your elder brother."
Ji Mingshuang smiled: "If my elder brother were here, he would definitely risk his life to save Your Highness."
The prince said: "Did you see anything when you fought with those people?"
Ji Mingshuang: "These people are highly skilled in martial arts, and they work very well together. They must be carefully nurtured by someone."
The person who can raise such a team must be extraordinary.
And he is heading straight for the prince, which may be related to the throne.
But Ji Mingshuang didn't say these.
Ji Mingshuang has been in the world for many years and has many friends, but he has never been too open with others.
In the end, the prince said nothing and let Ji Mingshuang leave.
He and Ji Mingshuang can't get along.
The prince is a man who can't sit still.
Unlike in the Prince's Mansion, in the backyard of the Liangzhou government office, basically no one paid any attention to him.
He has a lot of free time.
The prince was recuperating from his injuries in the first few days, so it was inconvenient for him to travel.
After a few days, when his injuries were almost healed, the prince could no longer stay in the side room and took the initiative to leave.
As soon as I walked out of the side room, I met a servant sweeping the floor in the corridor.
The prince stood for a while, watching the servant sweeping the floor, and was shocked at the sight.
The boy swept the floor in a very orderly manner and was very efficient and effective.
This made the prince feel very good. He walked over and asked, "What's your name?"
The servant looked up, glanced at him, and saluted him: "Xuezhu."
Prince: "How old are you this year?"
