Eunuch Hai replied with a smile.

"Madam, this is the Emperor's order. How dare we speculate on His Majesty's will?"

After hearing what Eunuch Hai said, Gu Zhao naturally didn't ask any more questions.

Eunuch Hai looked at Old Madam Qin again and said with a smile.

"The emperor also gave some medicinal herbs to the old lady."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Old Madam Qin knelt down again.

After Eunuch Hai left, Qin Chen looked at Gu Zhao.

"Grandmother, mother, and daughter-in-law, since the emperor has ordered me to return to the camp outside the capital, I will return to the camp outside the capital now."

"Okay, go get busy."

Madam Qin Hou waved her hand.

Qin Chen rode his horse back to the camp outside Beijing.

Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin Hou's wife both had joy on their faces.

"I thought Chen'er would have to wait for some time before he could resume his duties, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." Old Madam Qin sighed.

"Mother, Chen'er is a smart child, so don't worry about him. To be honest, he is usually out on business every day. If he doesn't come back for a day or two, I still miss him a little. But since he is around us every day, I can't wait to let him go out and do his work and stay away from us."

Having said that, Madam Qin looked at Gu Zhao and said with a smile.

"Zhao'er, mother didn't say anything to you. The longer you stay with your mother-in-law and grandmother, the more we like you."

Gu Zhao laughed.

She had discovered long ago that although Grandma Qin and her mother-in-law loved their husband, they didn't like Qin Chen to stay in front of them for too long. But she was different. Every day when she went to pay her respects or accompany him for dinner, her grandmother and her mother-in-law were very happy.

Prince Chen's Mansion.

On the first day that Prince Chen arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he followed the clerk of the Ministry to learn. After studying for a day, he returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.

As soon as I returned to the mansion, the housekeeper came to report.

"The young one has met the prince."

"What's the matter?"

The butler spoke.

"In reply to your Highness, today a family surnamed Meng came to the palace to ask to see you, saying that they are the family of the late Crown Princess..."

Upon hearing this, Prince Chen's expression changed slightly.

My mother's hairpin just appeared, and now the Meng family has appeared. The timing of the Meng family's appearance is just perfect.

"Where are they?"

"In reply to your Highness, I have had someone place me in the unused yard in the front yard."

The butler lowered his head, quietly waiting for Prince Chen's instructions.

After a while, he heard Prince Chen speaking.

"Bring the man to the main courtyard."

Hearing that Prince Chen was willing to meet them, the Meng family was overjoyed.

When they arrived at the main courtyard and walked into the hall, the Meng family saw Prince Chen sitting at the top wearing prince's attire, and they knelt on the ground.

"Meet Lord Chen."

Prince Chen saw these dozen people kneeling before him.

"Are you from the Meng family?"

Hearing Prince Chen's question, the leading old lady nodded immediately.

"Your Highness, I am Madam Meng Er, your great-uncle."

"Your Highness, I am your cousin Meng Chengyi."

Everyone reported their identities.

How could Prince Chen not know who these people were? They were from the second and first branches of the Meng family. They were exiled to the frontier. After Old Master Meng and Old Madam Meng and others arrived at the frontier, they suffered too much on the way to exile and died of illness one after another.

The brothers Meng Da and Meng Er were doing rough work in the frontier. After the Meng family arrived at the frontier, one-third of their members were reduced. Many died of illness on the way, and some quietly escaped...

A few years ago, the emperor issued an order to pardon the Meng family, but the Meng family is still at the border and has not returned to the capital.
