Yu Xiunan sneered and said: "I have many enemies in the Western Kingdom. There are so many people who want to take my life. I can't even guess it at the moment."
Although he said this, Ye Fuxun didn't believe him, but since he didn't want to disclose it, there was no need for her to ask again.
After sitting for a while, she stood up and said: "Brother Erhuang is fine, so I can rest assured. Your injury is quite serious and you need to take a good rest. I won't disturb your rest and will leave first."
After coming out of the camp, he met Bai Yuxian not far away.
"How's it going? Did you ask anything?"
Ye Fuxun shook his head: "He seems to know who sent the killer, but he doesn't want to say it. It doesn't matter, anyway, he is the one those people are dealing with, so we don't need to worry."
After Yu Xiunan was injured, he could only take a carriage on the road, and the speed of the journey was reduced by half. It could have been reached in Kyoto, the Western Kingdom, in half a month, but this time it took a full twenty days to arrive.
After entering the territory of the Western Kingdom, the road was mostly plains. Although it was already spring, the mountains were still bare, with no vegetation and no green at all.
The only spring color is the grass on the plain, but it has just sprouted.
The Western Kingdom gives people the impression that it has a vast territory, but the land is barren and there are not many types of crops that can be grown. Unlike Dongchen and other countries, there are Jinshan, silver and iron mines.
Ye Fuxun said in his heart, no wonder they always need to rob other people's things.
The capital city is still very prosperous, and apart from the fact that the buildings are different from those in Dongchen, there is really nothing different about them.
It was just after noon when they entered the city. Yu Xiunan immediately took Ye Fulun and Bai Yuxian into the palace to see the emperor.
Last night, someone came back to report the news, so the emperor knew that they would arrive in Beijing today, so he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a banquet for a few people.
Because Bai Yuxian was the prince of Dongchen, the reception needed to be more formal, so the emperor waited in the hall specially designed to receive foreign envoys, along with Queen Mei.
Because he had Yu Siling's memory, Ye Fuxun knew everything in the palace very clearly, but his memory was not as good as seeing it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help but look around a few more times.
No matter which country it is, the palace is always magnificent and magnificent, and the one in the Western Kingdom is no exception. Compared to the Dongchen Palace, this place seems to be more luxurious.
After entering the main hall, the emperor and the queen came into view.
In the Western Kingdom, red and black are the most respected colors, and the royal family’s costumes are mostly in these two colors.
The emperor was wearing a red and black imperial robe with dragon patterns. His hair was already gray, and he was even older than when Nian Yu Siling left.
However, Empress Mei, who was wearing a red phoenix robe next to him, had not changed much. She was still as radiant and graceful as before. Although she was already in her early forties, she looked like she was only thirty years old because of her excellent maintenance.
.
Yu Xiunan and Ye Fuxun stepped forward to salute and said in unison: "My sons and ministers, please see your father, the emperor, and your mother, the queen!"
"Without ceremony, please get up." The emperor raised his hand, with a slight smile on his face, his eyes glanced around Yu Siling, and finally landed on Bai Yuxian next to her.
Bai Yuxian cupped her hands with Dongchen's gift and said: "Dongchenchen King Xiao Zichen has met the emperor and the queen."
"Your Highness, King Chen, escorted You'er and Ling'er all the way. It's been a long journey and a long journey. Thank you for your hard work." The emperor said with a smile, his voice was old.
Xiao Zichen smiled and said, "Yu'er is my king's concubine. I should personally escort her and I shouldn't complain about it."
The queen had been looking at the famous King Chen and said with a smile: "I have heard that His Highness King Chen is elegant and graceful. I have always wanted to meet him. When I saw him today, I found out that the rumors were true."
Xiao Zichen continued to be polite: "The Queen is so complimentary."
The emperor turned his attention to Yu Xiunan and asked with concern: "I heard that on the way back to the country, Er'er was assassinated and seriously injured. I wonder how his health is now?"
Yu Xiunan replied respectfully: "Back to my father, my son's injury has almost healed. Fortunately, no critical injuries were sustained at the time. I am glad I survived."
The queen showed a worried look, frowned and said: "I don't know where those people came from, but they were so bold that they even dared to assassinate the second prince of the Western Kingdom.
Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise if they fail to succeed this time, they will probably attack You'er again next time."
Yu Xiunan curled her lips and sneered, saying: "Those killers are already dead. I'm afraid we can no longer trace them. In the future, I will only have to strengthen precautions and not give that person any opportunities to take advantage of them."
The queen nodded and said: "That's true. Why don't you ask the emperor to send some imperial troops to your prince's palace to protect you?"
The emperor had this intention and was about to nod when he was rejected by Yu Xiunan first. "No need, the prince's palace has guards and is heavily guarded. It's not that easy to break into."
Otherwise, why didn't that person do it while he was in the Western Kingdom, instead of waiting for him to do it while he was outside?
"Anyway, just be careful in everything." The emperor said, finally looking at his daughter whom he had not seen for a long time. Looking at her face, he seemed to see the long-dead Concubine Shu.
"Ling'er, how have you been doing over the past year?"
Ye Fuxun raised his head slightly and said calmly: "My son is very good."
After only saying four words, she had no intention of saying more, and her alienation was obvious.
The emperor sighed silently. It's no wonder that he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father in so many years, so his daughter is naturally alienated from him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the Queen opened her mouth to reconcile: "According to my opinion, Ling'er is more beautiful now, and her complexion is better than before. It can be imagined that when she was in Dongchen, the prince took good care of her."
Ye Fuxun just smiled slightly and did not answer.
The Queen continued: "Ling'er, after you left, we missed you very much, especially your father, so we asked Xiu'er to bring you back to stay for a while."
Ye Fuxun said: "My son also misses the Western Kingdom very much. I am deeply gratified that I can return to my hometown to see it in my lifetime."
What this means is that what she misses is her hometown, not the people in her hometown.
The smile on the queen's face froze for a moment, she didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became cold again.
Upon seeing this, Yu Xiunan said: "Father, Liu Mei and King Chen worked hard on the road and did not have a good rest along the way. I think they are very tired. Why not arrange for them to rest first."
"That's what you said." The emperor nodded, "I almost neglected King Chen. I really shouldn't have."
After leaving the palace, Yu Xiunan returned to the Prince's Mansion, while Ye Fuxun and Bai Yuxian were brought to a gorgeous mansion by palace servants specially sent by the emperor.
