The next day, Yue Fengdong and others embarked on the road back to Yong'an. As for who would take over Yuzhou, Cheng Li recommended a candidate named Lin Yu, who was from Yuzhou and had good conditions in all aspects, but Due to lack of backing, he was not accepted by the imperial court, and ended up teaching in a private school.

Although Yue Fengtong had never met this person, Cheng Li recommended him, and he thought it would basically work.

It's just that the person they pushed to the top was afraid that they would not be welcomed by other officials of the court. Yue Fengdong was also worried that Lin Yu would be assassinated, so he left some people to protect Lin Yu.

On the way back to the city, Yue Fengdong did not take a carriage, but instead rode a horse. He used to ride a carriage because he was weak, but now he no longer needs it. Although the physical body does not belong to him now, he only has one soul. Self-regulating, he can also do a few rounds with others if needed.

Fang Lai originally wanted to go with Yue Fengtong, but was forced by Yue Yixuan to ride a horse with him.

Speeding up the horse, the two-day journey was shortened to one day, and it was already dark when we arrived at Yong'an. When we came back, there was no mighty team to greet us. Yue Fengdong glanced at the tall palace gate, and said to the people beside him: "Mo Zhen , will you follow me into the palace or return to Prince Mo's Mansion?"

Mo Zhen: "I'm going back to Prince Mo's Mansion."

"Okay." Yue Fengtong reached out and took off the jade pendant on his waist and threw it to Mo Zhen: "Bring this, you can enter the palace at any time in the future."

After Mo Zhen took it, he left on horseback.

"Brother..." Fang Lai on the side wanted to call Yue Fengtong brother, but was strangled by Yue Yixuan behind him, so he had to change his words: "Master, this is the imperial palace, you...you are?"

Just as Yue Fengtong was about to explain, Yue Yixuan answered first: "Silly brother, the blessings you cultivated in your previous life have allowed you to recognize the current sage as a master. How about it? Are you happy?"

"...Happy." Fang Lai was about to die of surprise. He originally thought that this elder brother was a son of a rich family, or a relative of the emperor, but he didn't think about the present day, he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it.

Yue Fengtong shook his head. He never thought about keeping Fang Lai in the palace, but it was just his thought. After all, the final choice was in Fang Lai's hands. He didn't know what the child was thinking, so he asked: "Fang Lai, do you want to stay in the palace in the future, or do you want to do something else? If you want to stay in the palace, I will let the gentlemen in the palace train you well, and then you will become an official or something. If you want to be a businessman, I can also give you silver to do business."

During the time when Fang Lai was being pestered by Yue Yixuan, Yue Yixuan occasionally talked about something, it sounded like it was about his brother, but it didn’t seem like it was, suddenly there was a feeling that this brother also had many difficulties, A desire to protect my brother came into my heart spontaneously, he said: "Brother...Master, I just want to follow you, I will go wherever you go, I don't want to be an official, I don't want to be a businessman, if I can, I want to Become powerful, and then protect the master."

Such a young child's face flushed red when he said such words, Yue Yixuan patted Fang Lai's head, looked at Yue Fengtong and said, "We will protect Master together from now on."

"En." Fang Lai nodded vigorously.

Yue Fengdong felt a little moved, so he didn't say anything, and led everyone into the palace.

As soon as the Annunciation entered the palace, other servants were recruited to prepare a room for everyone to rest.

Yue Fengdong did not go back to his bedroom, but went to the National Teachers Academy, which was covered with white silk, and there were very few people, it looked very empty, and echoes came back every step he took.

Before his death, Cang Tan was a man with two sleeves. Although he entered the palace and became a national teacher, he seldom got involved in the struggle of the government. Afterwards, he always protected Mo Yi Nian.

Yue Fengdong walked through the long corridor and stepped into the main hall of the National Teacher Academy. In the middle of the main hall was a coffin with Cang Tan lying inside.

Yue Fengdong stood beside the coffin, Cang Tan's face did not show any pain, at least that person didn't torture him too much when he was dying, which also made Yue Fengdong feel less hatred in his heart.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest?"

After announcing the good news and settling everyone down, he couldn't find Yue Fengdong's shadow when he returned to the bedroom. The other maids told him that the emperor had come to the National Teacher Academy, so they looked for him.

Yue Fengdong turned his head to look at the Annunciation, and put his hand on the side of the coffin: "Announcement, since when did you follow me?"

Announcing the good news respectfully replied: "Back to the emperor, a year ago."

"A year ago..." Yue Fengtong repeated thoughtfully, as if thinking of something: "What was the name of that little eunuch before you?"

Announcement: "Go back to the emperor, call Xiaoluzi."

Yue Fengtong recalled that the night Xiaoluzi disappeared, it seemed that he asked Xiaoluzi to help him send something to the national teacher. After Xiaoluzi disappeared, he replaced it with an announcement of good news. Yes, because it wasn't very important, he didn't take it to heart. Thinking about it today, he thought it was a bit weird, and he said, "Oh, yes, where did this path go?"

Announcing the Good News hid his hand in his sleeve and clenched it quietly, trembling imperceptibly, he sighed after a long time, and walked slowly to Yue Fengdong's side: "Your Majesty, do you want to hear a story?"

Yue Fengtong didn't speak, turned around and sat down against the coffin, then patted the floor beside him, looked at the good news, and motioned him to sit down.

This emperor is the most unassuming emperor in the history of Yong'an, and the ceremonies of monarchs and ministers don't seem to matter to him, so he sat down obediently leaning against him to announce the good news.

The good news: "Ten years ago, there was a famine in a small village on the western outskirts of Yong'an Imperial City, and the villagers were about to starve to death. He didn't eat much during the time, he was malnourished, and his body was thinner than children of the same age, so after entering the palace, he was often bullied by other eunuchs. One night, this poor little girl was really hungry, so while everyone was asleep, he secretly He sneaked into the kitchen to look for food, but was caught. The eunuch in charge felt that the poor little man had dirty hands and feet. He stole needles when he was a child and grew up stealing gold. He thought it would be best to kill him, so he dragged the poor little man to the cold palace. .”

"Maybe God felt that the little pitiful was too pitiful, so he sent him a savior, and that savior was the current emperor. The little pitiful was saved, so he wanted to repay the little emperor, and tried his best to get close to the little emperor. One day, little pitiful accidentally discovered that the whereabouts of an eunuch next to the little emperor was suspicious, so he secretly followed and found that the eunuch was actually placed next to the little emperor by King Mo, so he took the opportunity to kill him, and finally replaced the little eunuch. I will stay at the little emperor's side to serve me, my story is finished, the emperor..." Baoxin turned her head and found that the head of the person beside her was resting on the coffin, she had closed her eyes, and had fallen asleep listening to the story.

Announcement smiled lightly, and whispered, "Your Majesty, you are my benefactor."

In fact, Yue Fengtong just closed his eyes and rested his mind. He seemed to remember a little bit of what the good news said. At that time, it was the midsummer of Zhengzheng. He couldn't sleep in the palace. He heard that the cold palace was cool, so he went there secretly. When beating a child, he felt pitiful at the time, so he stopped drinking and expelled the eunuchs from the palace. After that, he didn't care about it anymore. It turned out that during these years in the palace, he was still with him. Such a few sincere people.
