In the East Palace.

The prince listened to Mingfan's report with a gloomy look on his face, as if a storm was about to come.

More than three hundred people...

Not counting the corpses in the mass grave, not counting the soldiers who died in training and missions over the years, just a small farm has been so unscrupulous!

The prince seemed to have already guessed who the mastermind behind this was!

"Minglan, pass the order down and fully cooperate with Qiao's eldest son. All his decisions will be regarded as my orders. We must suppress this matter first no matter what!"

With Dalang's intelligence, he must know that it is not time to expose this matter yet, so he should wait a little longer...

He and his third brother have also made preparations. Now that everything is ready, they are just waiting for their second brother to return!

————

Just like last time, Qiao Tianjing came back early the next morning.

He washed up quickly and had to rush to court.

Han Yaxian did not sleep well that night. As soon as Qiao Tianjing came back, she woke up even though his movements were very gentle.

Qiao Tianjing looked exhausted and tired. He went to the bedside to comfort Han Yaxian. He didn't ask her to get up to help. He quickly changed his clothes and went out again.

Han Yaxian felt extremely distressed and sighed softly in her heart, hoping that she could share more of his burden.

Although there was turmoil in the Huguo Temple last night, due to Qiao Tianjing's thundering tactics, the capital is still calm today.

If there was anything unusual, it was that a noble lady from the capital went to the Huguo Temple to burn incense, but was turned away.

The young monk in the temple said politely: "There are important matters in the temple recently, so we will not receive pilgrims for the time being."

The noble lady was also tactful. After all, the Huguo Temple bore the name of the royal family. It must have been under orders from the palace, so it was normal for it to be closed.

This incident did not cause any stir in Beijing.

—————

Two days later, the letter from Beijing also reached Qiao Zhongguo.

Ever since the Second Prince was seriously injured in the battle of Baopiling, the marriage convoy stopped and stationed there.

The military doctor knew the Second Prince's noble status and treated him diligently every day.

However, the conditions here are very simple, and the Second Prince suffered a penetrating wound. Although good medicine was purchased as quickly as possible, the wound still healed very slowly.

These days, the person who has the happiest time in the team is none other than Meng Guxue.

She completely let go of the burden in her heart. Although her future in Nanli Country was still unclear, for her, enjoying life while she could was the real truth!

This time, the bandits on Baopiling were completely wiped out by General Guo and Baili Chengyou's troops.

Meng Guxue made a lot of noise and finally learned how to ride a horse.

Every morning she would take Xiao Tao out on horseback, and under the protection of the soldiers they would tour the mountains and enjoy the scenery. They would return only when they were satisfied, and they would look radiant.

Baili Chengyou was very depressed.

He was looking forward to exchanging information with Meng Guxue, but she took a detour when she saw him.

After a few days, he shut up when asked, looked askance when greeted, and started crying when touched...

Baili Chengyou: ???

He wanted a helper, but he ended up becoming an ancestor?

She was not like this in her dreams. When she was with Shen Yuanbai, she was well-behaved and sensible, full of clever tricks, and also a God of Wealth!

Baili Chengyou later realized that Meng Guxue was relying on the fact that Qiao Zhongguo was still around!

I don't know why Qiao Zhongguo was taking extra care of her, and the two of them would occasionally sit together and chat a lot!

So Baili Chengyou began to look forward to the order from Emperor Yong.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qiao Zhongguo should be asked to escort Shen Yuanbai back to Beijing as soon as possible.

In the tent over here, Qiao Zhongguo was opening the letter from home that Qiao Tianjing had sent to him at full speed.

Qiao Diyi grabbed his father's shoulders and clamored to watch it together.

"Get out of the way and stop yelling. I'll give it to you after I've seen it!"

Now that Qiao Zhongguo is traveling with the marriage convoy, he is becoming more and more like he was during the march, calling people "old man" all the time.

At first, Mrs. Qiao thought he was too rude and had to force him to change a little. But now, everything has gone back to normal!

Qiao Diyi has learned everything one by one. If Xiao Hongda saw it, he would definitely cry out in pain!

He followed the path of a Confucian general, but ended up bringing out a reckless man? How embarrassing it would be if this got out!

"Okay, okay, the big guy looks down on the little guy, right?"

Qiao Di stepped aside with a proud look on his face, muttering to himself.

Qiao Zhongguo glanced at him, feeling both angry and amused.

Was he also so disliked back then?

Qiao Zhongguo had no time to pay attention to him. He quickly opened the letter and his expression changed several times.

In the letter, Qiao Tianjing stated the result of the paternity test in a very vague way. Qiao Zhongguo raised his eyebrows and felt mixed emotions.

However, when he saw that Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao reached a consensus and handled the matter in a reasonable and easy manner, he felt greatly relieved.

Even if he was in Beijing, he couldn't do better than these two children.

When Qiao Jiaojiao suggested that he try his best to persuade Imperial Physician Zou to rebel, Qiao Zhongguo immediately looked thoughtful.

Qiao Tianjing was a meticulous person, and he specially attached the relevant investigation on Imperial Doctor Zou to the letter, including his background, personality, and interpersonal relationships, etc. Qiao Zhongguo nodded repeatedly after reading it.

"Ah, the boss really is..."

"Dad, what happened to my brother? How is the situation in the capital?"

Qiao Diyi immediately rushed over again, his pair of starry eyes twinkling.

Qiao Diyi: (?????)

Qiao Zhongguo raised his head and looked into his second son's clear big eyes.

Qiao Zhongguo: “…”

Well, we can't expect our ancestors' graves to always emit smoke, right?

Fortunately, the second child is also growing up very fast, he just lacks training, yes, that's right.

"Cover your mouth and take a look."

Qiao Diyi couldn't wait to take the letter and read it carefully word by word. At the end, his face was filled with shock!

Oh my God, this, this, this...this is so unexpected!

And...inciting Imperial Physician Zou to rebel?

Hey, this is fun!

"Dad, what are you going to do?"

After thinking for a while, Qiao Zhongguo suddenly smiled evilly.

"Hehe, of course it's Doctor Xu Zou who has become extremely wealthy..."

Qiao Diyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

————

Three days later, Doctor Zou finally arrived at the scene at full speed, escorted by his guards. His old bones were almost broken from the journey!

Along with the order came the Emperor Yong's decree, which basically asked Qiao Zhongguo to escort the second prince back to the capital as soon as possible. As for the crime of dereliction of duty, it would be discussed again after they returned to the capital.

The marriage convoy will continue to be escorted by Vice President Wang who has just arrived.

Doctor Zou got off his horse and hurried into the Second Prince's tent without even having time to drink a sip of water. When he saw the still hideous wound, he gasped.

Mother, this mission is not an easy one. The journey back to Beijing is tiring, and he cannot guarantee that the second prince will be safe!

Poor Doctor Zou didn't know that at the same time, two ruffians were eyeing him covetously and had already spread their net, waiting for him to jump in!
