After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

The next day.

The emperor, who had been recuperating in Liaocheng for many days, finally returned to the capital.

Unlike the hasty time when they came, this time when they returned, the emperor's guard of honor stretched for three miles.

In addition to the imperial guards who came to welcome the emperor, and some of the troops from the north left by Ji Chongning...

The people of Liaocheng had no idea of ​​the scene and the scene. They could hide so many people in their city!!!

In order to dispel the rumors of the past few days and to highlight the justice of the battle between King Kang and King Wen, the emperor specially showed up when he left the city.

The people lined the streets to see the emperor off and were so excited that some even shed tears.

Lord Sun, who came with all the officials of the government office to see the emperor off, cried as if the emperor had passed away.

Lord Sun started losing weight five days in advance, and he was wearing particularly thin clothes today. In addition, the late autumn wind, carrying fallen leaves, fluttered towards Lord Sun.

This scene made people feel that Lord Sun was about to break down.

The whole person has a kind of...proud and refreshing temperament.

Sitting in the carriage, Prime Minister Meng secretly lifted the curtain to take a look at Lord Sun, and then slapped his nephew on the head with a big slap. "Look at Sun Hanwen!!! What a good actor he is~~~ Can you learn from him?!"

Prefect Meng, oh no, from now on you should call him Master Meng, he hesitantly said that he might not be able to compare with the old-fashioned Sun Hanwen in other aspects, but when it comes to the sense of fragmentation, he can definitely win.

Meng Xiang, who originally felt that it was a pity for him to let his nephew resign and go home, suddenly felt that his decision was extremely correct.

After all... no one knows what the court will be like in the next few years. Prime Minister Meng feels that he should let his nephew use the excuse of recuperating from illness to stay out of the spotlight for a while.

It’s not too late to make plans once everything is stable.

Otherwise, given their nephew's behavior, when the new emperor ascends the throne and starts the three fires, their whole family might be buried with him!

The emperor's dragon carriage, surrounded by countless people and guards, slowly moved out of the city gate of Liaocheng.

Eunuch Tang slowly lowered the curtain of the carriage next to the emperor, then helped the emperor lie down on the soft couch in the carriage.

The Queen Mother, who was sitting at the window on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief. "Huh... Fortunately, Lady Min's makeup skills are still fresh."

"The Empress Dowager is too kind," Min Shanggong knelt in front of the emperor and slowly wiped his face. "The eyes are painted so well that you can only look at them from a distance, not closely."

Yes, the emperor is now in a coma.

His smiling eyes were painted on his eyelids by Min Sang-Gong...

It wasn't that the emperor's condition suddenly worsened and he couldn't speak.

The Empress Dowager was mainly concerned about the Emperor's violent temper and was afraid that he might suddenly go crazy and talk nonsense, so before leaving, she asked Doctor Yao to anesthetize him and asked Lady Min to put makeup on the Emperor...

Alas, she is an old lady, and she is almost exhausted from thinking of so many schemes all day long!

Fortunately, the effect was good. Judging from the public's reaction, no one saw through the Empress Dowager's "clever trick".

There is still one problem. Doctor Yao, who has been hiding in the corner, has to ask, "Grand Empress Dowager, the people are far away now, so we can still fool them, but when we return to the palace... and the civil and military officials or concubines want to see the emperor, what should we do?

Don't forget, there is still Consort Shu in the palace... She is not easy to fool."

"What are you afraid of?" The Empress Dowager sneered, "You don't have to worry about these trivial matters, just take care of the emperor."

Is this a small matter?!

OK.

Doctor Yao shut up. The old lady said it was a small matter. No matter how big the matter was, it was just a small matter!!

........

After leaving the city gate, Chen Dongyue said goodbye to Ji Chongning and Song Ke.

She said that after sending you thousands of miles away, there will always be a farewell, and she will have to rush home to have breakfast.

Ji Chongning was so angry that his nostrils were bulging. "You call this sending you a thousand miles away?! It's less than a mile from here to the city gate!"

"Okay, stop being picky," Chen Dongyue frowned, "It's good enough that I can give it to you."

After she finished speaking, she stuffed a sack in her hand to Song Ke, "Here, this is the food that the old lady prepared for you. Take it with you to the capital to eat."

"........are they dried radishes and eggplants?" Song Ke asked fearfully.

Chen Dongyue shook her head, "No."

Song Ke was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Chen Dongyue say, "It's dried wild vegetables and bamboo shoots."

Isn't this just a change of name? !

Where on earth did he get so many dried vegetables? !

Help! ! !

Although Song Ke was crying for help in his heart, he could only ask Chen Dongyue to thank the old lady on his behalf.

Chen Dongyue nodded and told Song Ke to follow Ji Chongning and not to worry about household matters.

Seeing these two people talking back and forth...it looked like they were doing something similar, Ji Chongning couldn't stand it anymore.

He cleared his throat and interrupted them, saying, "Ahem, Chen Dongyue, remember, you only have one month. After one month, I will send someone to pick you and Jun Lan up."

"Got it," Chen Dongyue said impatiently, "You've said it eight times along the way, one month, got it!! But you also have to remember that you still owe me 100,000 taels of silver.

If you don’t have money, you can consider using your house and land to pay off the debt. Anyway, I still need to do business in the capital by then…”

"......Debt collector!! Got it!! By the way, Prince Kang asked you to go to the palace to find him in a few days, don’t forget! He said it’s a very important matter!" Ji Chongning reminded Chen Dongyue again.

Chen Dongyue said impatiently again: "Brother, big brother, you have told me this eight hundred times. I know, I really know. Okay, you guys should leave quickly. If you don't leave now, you will miss the main force!"

"Dongyue," Song Ke glanced at Chen Dongyue reluctantly, "I'll wait for you in the capital."

"Me too!" Ji Chongning said unwillingly, "Not only will I be waiting for you in the capital, I'll also send someone to pick you up!!"

"Goodbye!!!" Chen Dongyue didn't want to argue with the two men anymore, so he turned the horse around manually and went back slowly.

Looking at Chen Dongyue's receding back, Ji Chongning said to Song Ke: "You...are not suitable for her."

Song Ke said, "You and her are even less suitable."

".....Nonsense!" Ji Chongning was fed up, "Why am I not suitable for her? Look at the two of us, a handsome man and a talented woman, how can we not be suitable?"

"In the future, you will have three thousand beauties in your harem. Aren't you afraid that she will train all three thousand beauties into her soldiers?" Song Ke said calmly.

“Hahahahahahaha,” Ji Chongning suddenly laughed, “I really want to see what the scene would be like if there were three thousand female soldiers in the palace.”

"You two!" Geng Hui, who had been waiting for the two, couldn't help but say, "The emperor's carriage has already gone ten miles, shouldn't we hurry up and catch up?"

Song Ji and the other two then stopped talking and urged their horses to hurry up.

...............

Two days later.

The emperor's dragon carriage returned to the capital.

The Empress Dowager used the same trick and arranged for the Emperor to meet the officials of all ranks who were lining the city gate to welcome them.

The court officials were in very mixed feelings.

The emperor is actually alive...

What's even scarier is!!!

Everyone knows that the King of Qi, the King of Ning, the King of Kang, and the sudden King Wen, had all been fighting each other over the throne.

But the information they received from the two prime ministers and Minister Lu was that it was all just a misunderstanding.

The emperor went to Liaocheng to find a miracle doctor. As the matter was urgent, he did not inform anyone, which led to misunderstandings between the King of Qi and the King of Ning.

But now that the misunderstandings have been cleared up, the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Ning... and His Royal Highness Prince Wen, have escorted the Emperor back to the capital.

The emperor's internal illness has been cured by the miracle doctor about 70% of the time.

Ah, this.

It sounds very mysterious.

Not only the court officials, but even the ordinary people in the capital knew what was going on with the three princes.

But the Prime Minister said it was all a misunderstanding.

How come it's all a misunderstanding?!

What on earth is going on here...Everyone is scratching their heads, but no one can figure it out!

In fact, all these statements were made by Ji Chongning at the request of the two prime ministers and Minister Lu.

the reason is simple.

Ji Chongning didn't want to cause more blood and gore because of the fight for the throne.

Internal strife always harms the country's destiny.

The treasury of the Darong Dynasty is now empty and the external situation is not peaceful, so there really cannot be too much internal friction.

The Prince of Qi's Mansion and the Prince of Ning's Mansion have now been taken care of by the people Ji Chongning transferred from the north.

The private soldiers of the two governments have also been arrested.

In addition, the control of Anshanwei was already in the hands of Ji Chongning's people, and the two princes were secretly sent to the Dali Temple's prison.

Ji Chongning was confident that he could solve the current problem without using any force.

Although there will be many obstacles on the road ahead, but...If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Everything was won by him in order to sit on the supreme throne.

"Song Ke," Ji Chongning looked at the people and court officials who were shouting "Long live the emperor" on the road, and suddenly looked at the person next to him, "Are you... ready?"

"Yeah." Song Ke nodded honestly.

But after a moment, he asked again: "But what should I prepare?"

"........Be prepared to face the bloody storm from all directions." Ji Chongning said.

Song Ke blinked twice, "Then you have to give me a promotion first, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be charged with disrespecting my superiors if I hit someone."

"Good boy Song Ke, you were waiting for me here~~~~" Ji Chongning stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Song Ke's nose, "You are such a scheming boy!"

"........Thank you for the compliment?" Song Ke shrugged towards Ji Chongning.

Geng Hui whispered in the back: "I don't need a promotion, but Master, can you give me a raise......"

Ji Chongning shouted that he could not hear anything, so he rode away quickly on his horse...
