The two people, Shadow and Anqi, who were outside the carriage, truly turned a deaf ear to what was happening inside the carriage and only focused on driving the carriage well!

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

The less you know, the longer you live.

The two of them almost dug out all the famous warning quotes that could save lives.

I wish I could find a piece of paper to write it down and stick it on my forehead to remind myself all the time.

Living is the most important thing!

The comfortable and pleasant days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed. Shadow held the message he had just received, hesitating whether he should go up and disturb the two people who were fishing by the lake.

He really didn't understand. The weather was so cold, why were these two people fishing?

"An Qi, do you think they are cold?"

"not cold."

An Qi said lightly.

"how do you know?"

Shadow couldn't help but be curious.

"You are stupid. How could the master bear to let Miss Feng freeze? If it was cold, they would have gone back to the carriage to warm up!"

An Qi was like looking at a fool who didn't understand this logic.

shadow:"......"

Why did he feel that he was being disliked and that An Qi deserved a beating?

"An Qi, it's been a long time since we last sparred. Let's have a sparring match while we have some free time!"

He must beat him to a pulp!

Shadow was already thinking about how to deal with him later, but...what was that look in his eyes? What did rolling his eyes mean?

"Hey, why are you going?"

An Qi rolled his eyes at him and turned to leave. He was not stupid. What was there to fight with? He knew that An Ba had been beaten so badly before.

You want to use the sparring match as an excuse, but you really want to beat him up!

He is not a fool, he won't be fooled!

"Boss, I have to go collect some firewood. The master and the young lady will definitely grill some fish later."

Only Shadow was left standing there, disheveled in the wind. He didn't know how this guy could have become so smart and hard to fool.

After a stick of incense, several people gathered around the campfire, and Shadow passed on the message he had just received.

Feng Qi naturally saw it as well. He didn't expect that the army returned to the barracks so quickly. It might take another four or five days for them to reach the capital.

They were not the only ones who received the news that the army had returned triumphantly and would be able to return to Beijing today.

In the royal study

The emperor had already sent people to inquire about the army's itinerary. When he learned that they would be able to return to the capital today, he was so excited that he could not sit still.

He even summoned all civil and military officials to wait outside the palace for orders.

He planned to bring civil and military officials to the city gate to personally welcome the Regent.

"Your Majesty, everyone is here."

Eunuch Gao came in from outside. It was the coldest time of the year and all the ministers had been standing outside the palace gate in the cold wind for half an hour, but the emperor was still hesitating and had not come out.

Eunuch Gao even suspected that the emperor wanted to freeze all these ministers to death.

"Goldman, do you think I am okay like this?"

After saying this, he turned around on the spot and waited for Eunuch Gao to give an answer.

Eunuch Gao: Why do you act like you're going to meet your sweetheart?

"Your Majesty is still as majestic as ever, with an extraordinary demeanor and a radiant demeanor."

If saying too much wouldn't make it sound fake, he really wanted to say a few more.

I was afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied and would procrastinate for a long time. Although those ministers would not be frozen to death, they might still get sick from the cold.

"In that case, let's go."

The emperor looked around carefully again and felt that there was no problem, so he was willing to leave the imperial study.

Eunuch Gao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared.

When the emperor's dragon chariot appeared at the palace gate, a group of ministers immediately shouted "Long live the emperor", especially the civil officials, whose bodies were not as strong as those of the military generals.

At this time, everyone was so cold that their noses started to run.

Obviously he caught a cold.

"Dear ladies, please rise."

The emperor was still thinking about expressing his feelings, but before he could open his mouth, sneezes were heard among the crowd.

The emperor then noticed that they were all trembling, their noses were red, and their lips were trembling, and he felt a little displeased.

"Is this how you, my dear ministers, are going to greet the Regent?"

"Look at you all, you are so listless. How can you be so happy to welcome the Regent? Aren't you just causing trouble for the Regent?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I know I was wrong!"

When everyone heard this, they wondered who would dare to take the blame for such a big pot!

They are really like dumb people eating bitter herbs and can't express their pain in words!

If Your Majesty hadn't let them stand in the cold wind at the palace gate for almost an hour, they wouldn't be in this state.

But who dares to blame the emperor? Does that mean you think your neck is too stiff?

There was really no other way, so everyone pinched themselves hard at the same time to try to cheer themselves up.

"Okay, everyone, get up!"

Seeing that their manners had improved a lot, the emperor finally smiled and led his men to the city gate.

"Goldman, faster!"

For some reason, the emperor suddenly became anxious.

What else can Eunuch Gao do? He can only obey your orders.

The ministers who were originally walking behind saw the dragon sedan in front of them moving quickly, and they had no choice but to jog to barely keep up.

Eunuch Gao looked back and began to sympathize with them.

It’s really not easy, running wildly on the street in such a cold day.

At this moment, the emperor only wanted to see his ninth brother as soon as possible, so he didn't care whether the people behind him could catch up or not.

The journey that was supposed to take an incense stick of time was unexpectedly advanced by a cup of tea.

When they arrived at the city gate, the military generals were fine, except that their faces turned slightly red and they were breathing heavily. But the civil officials were in a terrible state, and many of them fell directly to the ground.

His mouth was wide open like a dying fish.

Some of them supported their knees with their hands and breathed heavily.

The emperor looked ahead and saw that there was no one in front of him. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had caught up. Then he remembered his beloved ministers behind him.

He was shocked when he turned around. How come there were so many people lying on the ground in just a short while, some were bending over, and less than half of them were standing properly?

"Goldman Sachs, what's wrong with them?"

"Ah, this..."

Eunuch Gao didn't know what to say, "Your Majesty, maybe you guys lack exercise and are too weak. You can't stand walking such a long distance!"

I'm sorry, my lords, but I dare not say that it is your Majesty's fault!

"Humph, how can you serve the country with such a body?"

"Pass on my decree. After the morning court session, let them exercise until they can run from the palace gate to the city gate without blushing or beating their hearts!"

These poor ministers don’t know yet that today is the beginning of their future nightmare.

"Yes, slaves follow the order."

Eunuch Gao had more than just sympathy for these ministers; they were just too miserable!
