Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

Half a month later, dawn will break.

Zhou stood outside the palace gate, watching the procession being assembled and the carriages gradually being filled. She couldn't help but burst into tears and said to Xi Changkong: "Son, why are you in such a hurry to leave!"

"Longquan County is located in a remote area. Even if we travel day and night, it will take almost a month to get there. If we wait until the end of the month, I'm afraid the road will be blocked by heavy snow, which will delay us." Xi Changkong continued, "Since we have to leave sooner or later, why not take advantage of the current season when the road is easier to travel."

Zhou also understood this truth, she just couldn't bear to do it.

"Your father is really cruel. He actually gave you such a dangerous place!" Zhou was even more depressed when she thought of this. She threw her handkerchief fiercely and said, "Those two got a good deal!"

When it came to her son, Zhou was very clear-headed. She neither cried nor made a fuss. Instead, she took advantage of King Xi's guilt and slowly took action, quietly seeking compensation for her son who had been wronged.

Zhou ordered the servants to carry several mahogany boxes that were not yet warm onto the carriage, and personally handed the priceless wooden box in her hand to her son.

"Your father is very stingy. Mother had to bargain for a long time before she got these land deeds and store deeds, as well as those boxes of gold and silver artifacts..." Rather than letting the eldest and second sons get them in the future, it is better to get them early to make it convenient for her own son.

Zhou advised him: "This journey is long and there will be many inconveniences. You need to bring more money and property with you so that you can settle down in Longquan County as soon as possible and avoid too much hardship."

Zhou turned to Chen Jia and said, "In the future, you two should work together to overcome the difficulties... It would be best if you could have another child..."

A young couple has been married for several years, but still has no child.

It was because of her kindness as a mother-in-law that she didn't push them too hard, but they should also pay more attention!

"Mother..." Xi Changkong raised his eyelids, helped his wife onto the carriage, and then went over to persuade his worried mother to go in. "My son is fine. I will write a letter to let you know when I get there. I hope you take care of yourself and don't worry about me."

"Hey, you have your own ideas. You don't listen to me as a mother anymore..." Considering that her son was about to go on a long journey, Zhou didn't want to hurt the relationship between mother and son at this critical juncture.

In fact, she wanted her daughter-in-law to stay in the palace, but this son, who had forgotten his mother after getting a wife, refused and insisted on going to Longquan County with his wife.

I don't know what's so good about this woman besides her beautiful appearance that she deserves her son's protection!

"Mother, I'm leaving now, don't worry." Xi Changkong knew his mother's abilities. She was an extremely tough person. With her guarding at the Prince Xi's Mansion, his eldest brother would have concerns if he reached out.

Hearing this, Zhou's emotions, which had finally calmed down, became unstable again. She nodded repeatedly but could not utter anything. She just stared at the carriage team going away, hoping that they would have a smooth journey.

"Don't mind what mother said just now. That's just her nature." Xi Changkong got on the carriage and spoke first, his voice steady and powerful, "With me in the way, she can only talk nonsense."

Chen Jia sat obediently on the cushioned couch and asked curiously, "At the beginning, I entered the house with my eldest sister-in-law. She is now pregnant with one child and the second one. You and I have not made any movement at all - husband, aren't you anxious at all?"

Xi Changkong fiddled with the teapot on the table and did not avoid his wife's question, "Mother is eager to have a grandson, but I don't want one more person to take away your attention."

He looked up nonchalantly and asked leisurely: "Madam, having a husband is not enough?"

I have to say, Chen Jia felt relieved when she heard her husband's words.

Especially when the eldest brother's children came out one after another, Zhou's dissatisfaction with her reached its peak!

Although she didn't see her mother-in-law often, and her husband would always try to block the pressure from Zhou, she could clearly feel that Zhou didn't like her.

In this prestigious family, my husband is the only one who is by my side and protects me... What if one day, my husband changes his mind?

Reason told her: You shouldn't think of your husband like this!

But the reality always makes her feel inexplicably worried.

This emotion constantly tormented Chen Jia, who was already a delicate person. Because of this, her illness could never be completely cured by medicine, and she was always depressed.

Perhaps she herself did not realize the reason for the recurrence of her illness, but Xi Changkong was keenly aware of it.

Since the environment in the palace makes her depressed, she might as well change places. Maybe she can recover without medicine.

The carriage the two were riding in had been specially modified. Not only did it not shake at all, but it also had a low-key exterior and luxurious interior, and was quite comfortable.

Chen Jia, who had somewhat resolved her worries, regained her former vitality and pestered her husband to make tea and chat with her.

One person starts off with a lot of free talk, but the other can always get in sync with the other, which makes the days on the road not so boring.

In the palace, in the prince's courtyard, in the study.

The servant who had been sent out early in the morning came in and said, "My Lord, the Third Young Master and his party have left the palace and are heading for Longquan."

"Are you serious?" Upon hearing this, the prince put down the book in his hand in surprise, "Did you see clearly, did they really set off?"

The servant lowered his head even more: "I dare not speak nonsense. I will only reply after I have seen it clearly."

"I understand. Go away." The prince waved his hand and asked the servant to leave the study.

When the door closed, his expression finally showed a crack, and he said in a complicated tone: "My good third brother, it seems that he is angry with father, and he left in such a hurry!"

Originally, seeing such a big commotion in the yard of my third brother, I thought he was retreating to advance, but I didn't expect that he really left decisively.

What way out can there be in such a poor and remote place?

What the prince didn't know was that Xi Changkong almost emptied half of the treasury during this trip: in addition to Xi Changkong's own warehouse, Zhou, who felt sorry for her child, subsidized some of the money, and also selected a considerable portion of the compensation from the warehouse of King Xi.

It can be said that in the entire palace, no one is richer than Xi Changkong.

"However, it's better this way--" The prince wished that his third brother would stay away from the palace and his father. Such an outstanding brother was not what the prince wanted to see.

The deadline for departure set by King Xi was more than half a year, but Xi Changkong seemed unable to wait and packed his bags and set off within half a month.

The Crown Prince and the Second Young Master both left on the deadline.

When they left, they both looked quite reluctant.

King Xi sat quietly in his own courtyard and did not personally see anyone off when they left.

In his opinion, this is just the beginning of the test, and the performance of some people has disappointed him.
