Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

The eldest prince sat in the carriage, looking out, his eyes firm and far-reaching.

He knew that this experience had given him a deeper understanding of his responsibilities and mission as a monarch.

But he was destined to disappoint his father, as he had never been a man with big ambitions.

As the carriage bumped along, the figures of Shang Shixu and the eldest prince gradually disappeared at the end of the official road.

What they left to Lingnan was not only a good solution to the plague, but also a hopeful wish for the future.

The people of Lingnan will always remember this experience.

They knew that as long as there were people with lofty ideals like Shang Shixu and the eldest prince, there would be hope for the country and the land would be full of vitality.

……

After a bumpy journey, they finally returned to the capital.

The sky of Beijing is decorated with festive red lanterns, making it particularly gorgeous.

The streets were crowded with enthusiastic people, laughing and discussing, with everyone's face filled with anticipation and joy.

Today is the day when the heroes who solved the Lingnan plague - Prime Minister Shang Shixu and the eldest prince return triumphantly.

The emperor personally ordered a grand welcoming ceremony to be held in the square in front of the Forbidden City.

He wanted the whole world to know how much courage and wisdom his people showed in times of national crisis.

As drums and music sounded, a team of guards in gorgeous armor rode on war horses and slowly marched out of the city gate. Their appearance immediately caused a sensation among the crowd.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and everyone's eyes turned to the distance. They saw a group of cavalry slowly approaching, led by the eldest prince.

Further behind is a young man in official robes riding a tall horse.

She was Shang Shixu, the prime minister that made the people of the capital proud.

Shang Shixu was wearing a red official robe, with a sword hanging from his waist and a feather crown on his head, looking very majestic.

Her eyes were firm and deep, with a faint smile on her lips.

Her eyes swept across the crowd, and every time her eyes met people's, they felt a warm current flowing straight into their hearts.

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!" Cheers came from the crowd.

Shang Shixu waved and greeted everyone; her movements were graceful and confident, as if she was conveying gratitude and respect to everyone.

"Our prime minister is back!" a middle-aged woman said excitedly, tears flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, she is our pride!" another young man followed, his face full of admiration.

Shang Shixu rode on a horse and walked slowly among the crowd. Her figure became the most dazzling scenery on the street.

Her heart was filled with emotion. These enthusiastic people were the motivation and source of her struggle.

She knew that every effort she made was to enable these people to live a better life.

The eldest prince rode a tall horse, looking handsome, elegant and majestic.

Thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the crowd, waving ribbons and flowers in their hands to express their highest respect to the two heroes.

The eldest prince smiled and waved to the crowd, and their hearts were filled with warmth and emotion.

The emperor stood on the high platform of the Forbidden City, his eyes fixed on Shang Shixu and the eldest prince.

When everyone arrived in front of the high platform, the emperor personally walked down the steps, stretched out his hand, and helped Shang Shixu off the horse. This move shocked and impressed everyone present.

Shang Shixu didn't know what the dog emperor wanted to do next, so he could only follow his wishes and get off the horse.

“Shang Shixu, you have relieved the people of Lingnan from the plague. Your achievements will be recorded in history.” The emperor’s voice resounded through the sky, full of admiration and respect.

Shang Shixu bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just fulfilling my responsibilities."

Afterwards, the eldest prince also walked up to the platform and stood beside the emperor, his eyes firm and proud.

The emperor turned to the eldest prince, his eyes revealing a father's love: "My eldest prince, I am very satisfied with your performance in Lingnan. You are not only my son, but also the pride of the country."

After the ceremony, the emperor ordered a grand banquet and invited civil and military officials and celebrities from all walks of life in the capital.

At the banquet, Shang Shixu and the eldest prince became the most dazzling protagonists. They were arranged to sit on the left and right sides of the emperor and enjoyed the highest level of courtesy.

The atmosphere of the banquet was warm and cheerful, with singing and dancing one after another.

Shang Shixu and the eldest prince also put aside their previous solemnity and celebrated the arrival of this moment with everyone.

Their smiles revealed relief and joy, as if all the burdens had been lifted.

However, in this joyful atmosphere, Shang Shixu and the eldest prince had different feelings in their hearts.

They know that this victory belongs not only to the two of them, but also to the unsung heroes who silently support and work hard behind the scenes.

They understand even more that this victory is the best proof of national unity and the people's perseverance.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and the moonlight shone on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, casting a faint silver glow.

Shang Shixu and the eldest prince stood on the palace wall, looking at the starry sky in the distance, their hearts filled with longing and hope for the future.

"We still have a lot to do." The eldest prince said softly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, this is just a new beginning." Shang Shixu responded with a smile, her eyes full of determination and expectation.

"It's getting late. I'll take my leave." Shang Shixu stood up and left.

Her aunt was still waiting for her at home, so she had to go back quickly. The separation in the past few days made her miss her aunt very much, and she couldn't wait any longer.

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Please go in, Prime Minister." The eldest prince would be wise to leave. He also has his own things to deal with.

There are still people waiting for him in Lingnan, he must go back, he must go back.

He had already promised Xiangqiu that the capital was not his final destination, but Lingnan was.

Also, I don’t know what Du Zesheng is thinking. If he wants to stay in the capital, he will definitely find a way to get Shang Shixu to accept him.

Du Zesheng is a rare talent, and I believe Shang Shixu will definitely be particularly fond of Du Zesheng.

However, the two of them had supported each other in Lingnan for a long time, and they were really reluctant to part at the thought of separation.

Alas, no matter how much he wanted Du Zesheng to go back to Lingnan with him,

But all the choices are up to Du Zesheng. He cannot ruin his good brother's career because of his selfishness.

Forget it, don’t think too much about it. In a few days, everything will have an answer.

The eldest prince swallowed the wine in his mouth and staggered back to his bedroom.

In the dream, he brought Xiangqiu and Du Zesheng, and the three of them were playing in the land of Lingnan.

Everything is so beautiful, everything is so rare...
