"Father, do you mean that my sister-in-law is still alive?"
He Yuwen took out a note: "This is what your sister-in-law asked Yuntian to bring to you."
He Yunyi quickly unfolded the note, which only had four words written on it: Be well, don't worry.
"Sister-in-law is still alive! She is still alive!" He Yunyi said in surprise: "This is sister-in-law's handwriting, I recognize it!"
Princess Ding looked at him and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't she come back?"
"You should ask Jingheng for details, but this kid has now left the affairs of the military camp to me. He went out to do something, and I think he went to see Ruoyi." He Yuwen patted Qin's shoulder and said, "You two should relax and take good care of your health. Don't get sick."
Coming out of their room, He Yuwen whispered, "Any news about Jing Heng?"
The deputy general beside him shook his head: "The prince's whereabouts are secret, it is not something we can find out."
"This brat!" He Yuwen sneered. He thought for a moment and asked again, "What about Qi Nian and the others?"
"According to the prince's instructions, I have already settled Aunt Zhao and the Second Young Master in a manor on the outskirts of the city. The servants in the manor were all newly purchased, so there will definitely be no news leaking out."
"Yes." He Yuwen nodded: "Princess, you must keep this a secret. If there is any mistake, I will only hold you accountable!"
"yes!"
At this time, in the farm on the outskirts of the city, Aunt Zhao was dressed up beautifully, wearing more pearls and jade on her head than her daughter-in-law.
He Qinian came to her yard and said in a deep voice, "Mother, has the king said when he will come to see us?"
"What's the hurry? Your father is busy with all sorts of affairs, how can he have time to come every day?"
"It's been a while since we returned to Beijing, but father hasn't even shown up."
"So what?" Aunt Zhao hummed a little tune: "Mom can return to the capital, and let your father settle us down, and then we can return to the palace again."
He Qinian frowned and said, "Mother, I don't want to go back."
Aunt Zhao paused with her hairpin on her hand: "What did you say?"
"Mom, when you did those things, grandma will never forgive you. Although I didn't participate, I am your child, so I can't escape the blame."
"I did those things?" She snorted coldly, "What did I do? I just poisoned Cong, but I did it for a reason! Isn't it for us to escape? What kind of place is that? A place of exile! A place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. If we live there forever, it won't be long before we lose our lives."
"But what are you going to do about Father?"
"Remember what I said. Whenever your father asks you about what happened, you should say that you wanted to leave the place of exile to find him. Although your father is a man who leads troops and kills without blinking an eye, he is not soft. You are his son, and he will definitely not really ignore you. As for me, your mother has no other abilities, but it is not easy to coax a man."
When He Qinian heard her say this, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Son, please be at ease. The throne of the prince of this palace will be yours sooner or later."
"Mom, I've told you that I don't want the throne of the crown prince, and my brother is a legitimate son with outstanding abilities, so he is the one who can truly inherit the throne."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mouth fell on his face: "Useless thing! Are you my child? I want to be strong all my life, how could I give birth to such a useless thing like you? The throne! The throne! That throne should have been ours!"
"mother!"
"Okay, shut up!" Aunt Zhao glared at him and said, "Get out and stop being an eyesore here."
Hearing this, He Qinian had to retreat.
Lin Shu was standing in the yard. When he saw him coming out, he hurried forward and said, "My husband."
He Qinian shook his head and sighed: "From now on, no matter what mother says, don't go there."
Lin Shu nodded, looked deeply at Aunt Zhao's yard, and left with He Qinian.
Shang Ruoyi was already two queens when she arrived at the capital of the Western Regions.
The capital of the Western Region was extremely bustling, with horse-drawn carriages driving through the streets and countless vendors hawking their wares on the streets.
At this time, the weather in the Western Regions had warmed up and people were wearing very cool clothes.
The most similar thing between the Western Regions and Beiling is the tough folk customs.
It is very normal for women to show their faces in public here, and you can always see women running businesses on the streets.
At this moment, a stall caught her attention.
She hurriedly stopped the carriage.
"Ruoyi, what's the matter?"
"Brother, I have never been to such an interesting street. I want to take a look. Can I?"
Hearing her say this, Jun Zegan's eyes flashed with a look of pain: "I'll go shopping with you." After he finished speaking, he wanted to get up, but Shang Ruoyi pressed him directly on the chair: "Brother, with your face, I'm afraid that someone will recognize you in any corner of the Western Regions. I want to go shopping, but how can I go shopping in this state?"
"What should we do then?"
"Wait for me at the mansion. I'll go to the palace when it gets dark. Let Yuqing follow me." After she finished speaking, she instructed again, "I don't want to reveal my identity yet. Even if I go to the mansion, call me Master Lingjun."
"Okay, okay." Jun Ze smiled helplessly, "You have said this many times over and over again. We all remember that when you were found, father was so happy that he wanted to tell the world, but you refused to let me say it. Didn't you see how ugly father's face was?"
"From now on, brother will know why I did what I did today." She smiled and turned to get off the carriage.
Yuqing followed her, and the two of them disappeared in the crowd.
Shang Ruoyi wore a mask and waved a folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome gentleman. Although only half of his face was exposed, his noble temperament could not be concealed.
"Little Princess."
"Hush!" Shang Ruoyi said hurriedly, "Call me Master."
"Young Master, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to take a look and experience the customs and practices of the Western Regions." She came to a stall, looked at the seeds on display, and asked with a smile, "What are these?"
"Sir, this seed can grow a kind of fruit."
"Fruits?"
The man scratched his head and said, "Yes, this fruit has a green skin and red inside. It's delicious!"
Green skin and red flesh, this is clearly a watermelon.
She came over to ask because she thought the seeds looked like watermelon seeds.
Now there are all kinds of fruits in her space, except watermelon.
Just as she was about to buy something, she heard the vendor next to her say, "You are cheating people here. What kind of fruit and vegetable seeds are these? They can't grow at all! Many people have come to you to ask for compensation after buying them. Now that you see that the young master is young, are you here to cheat people?"
