(Dear friends, the monthly ticket activity from 4.28 to 4.30 has already started in the comment area, please go and take a look!)
Huo An walked quickly and quickly arrived outside Tingfeng Pavilion. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard the sweet laughter coming from inside.
"Your Majesty, I'm here..."
"My lord, I am here..."
Although her eyes were covered with black cloth, as long as the system perception was turned on, Huang Rongrong's location was clear at a glance.
But in order to make the game more interesting, Zhao Yanxun did not turn on the cheat device.
Now that the so-called balance of work and rest has opened up, Zhao Yanxun's sense of urgency has eased a lot, and he naturally wants to relax.
In Feiyuxuan, he can play chess quietly, while Lin Jingyu talks about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even have an in-depth exchange of ideas about life.
But here in Huang Rongrong, it is a different scene. Anyway, compared to those elegant things, Zhao Yanxun still prefers Tingfeng Pavilion because he is a layman.
Of course, Zhao Yanxun could only play behind closed doors. If this were known to outsiders, it would destroy his sacred image.
"Rong Rong, if you are caught, you have to let me kiss you!"
Although they were playing behind closed doors, Huang Rongrong's face was still filled with red clouds when she heard this.
"My lord, you are shameless..."
But before she finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun suddenly turned around and moved forward, taking Huang Rongrong, who was not far behind him, into his arms.
"Haha, I caught you!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Huo An's voice came from outside the door: "Prince Qi, someone is coming from the capital!"
Someone is coming from the capital? This news deeply surprised Zhao Yanxun, so he directly pulled off the black cloth from his eyes.
"Open the door!"
Following his instructions, the door of Tingfeng Pavilion was opened wide, and Zhao Yanxun appeared in the hall.
"See you, my lord!"
"Why are people coming to the capital? Who is coming?" Zhao Yanxun stepped out of the threshold and asked.
"There are Eunuch Liu De and Liu De from Concubine Duan's Palace, as well as Uncle Guo. They are all sent by Concubine Duan!"
Concubine Duan, my mother who is far away in the capital?
Although his soul has been changed, Zhao Yanxun still has some feelings for his mother in this life.
"Where are they?" Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice.
"Waiting in Jinshen Hall!" Huo An replied.
Zhao Yanxun turned around, smiled and said to Huang Rongrong beside him: "My beloved concubine, I will come to talk to you after I finish my business!"
…………
In the side hall of Jinshen Hall, Liu De stood solemnly, while Cao Jiaxun beside him looked around at the situation in the hall.
After a while, footsteps were heard from the back of the hall, and it was Zhao Yanxun who came over.
"Where is the distinguished guest?"
Before anyone else arrived, Liu and De heard the sound first.
When Zhao Yanxun appeared, Liu De immediately paid homage and said: "My slave, please pay homage to His Highness Ninth Prince!"
Cao Jiaxun was slightly stunned, and followed the salute and said: "See you, Your Highness!"
"You two, please get up quickly!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
At Huo An's signal, the eunuch on duty in the palace helped Cao Jiaxun and the two men up.
Seeing the two people in front of him, Zhao Yanxun only had a slight impression. After all, when he lived in the palace, he didn't have many contacts with outsiders.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"How is the situation in the capital?"
"Is my mother-in-law okay?"
Zhao Yanxun asked three questions in a row, but Cao Jiaxun didn't know how to answer.
'"Your Highness..."
Before Cao Jiaxun could speak, he heard Zhao Yanxun say: "Uncle, just call me Yanxun. Call me Your Highness."
He was so anxious that when he left the capital, the Cao family sent someone to see him off, and among the uncles who came was Cao Jiaxun.
"Huo An, move over here!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
When Zhao was sitting on the big case, Huo An had already moved to the pier, and Cao Jiaxun sat down at Zhao Yanxun's signal.
"Yanxun, the monsters caused chaos. I thought I was going to die on the ship, but I didn't expect to see you alive!"
Sitting in the Jinshen Hall Abode at this moment, Cao Jiaxun felt as if he had experienced a huge zombie outbreak on the ship.
"It's my fault that I didn't send someone to rescue him earlier, so my uncle suffered!"
Zhao Yanxun originally thought he would feel repulsed when he called "stranger" his uncle, but after actually calling him a few times, he felt it was nothing, because this person was actually his uncle.
At this time, a young eunuch brought tea. After Cao Jiaxun took the tea cup, he first came closer to smell it and then took a sip. It was somewhat similar to Yun Liu's drinking scene.
Seeing Cao Jiaxun's satisfied look, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Uncle should be in the capital, why are you here?"
"My queen sent me here..."
Putting down the tea cup, Cao Jiaxun continued: "More than a month after you left the capital, news came from Guangyang County and Hexi County that monsters were hurting people. My Majesty was worried about your safety, so she asked me to come to Longyou to check!"
Zhao Yanxun set out from the capital and passed through Guangyang County on the way. At that time, zombies were already infested in Guangyang, but he was not allowed to encounter them.
By the time the news came back to the capital, he had already left Zhenxiguan.
"The emperor sent someone to recall you to the capital. For this reason, the emperor even quarreled with the civil servants!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but feel a little moved. The emperor's father still had feelings for him.
"The imperial envoy took the land route, but the empress was worried, so she sent Eunuch Liu and me to take the water route, from the Grand Canal to the Dahe River, and then rushed upstream to Longyou, and then from the Dahe River to the tributary Bahe River, and finally arrived at Yuanyang!
"
"Sailing against the current is extremely slow. We only arrived in Yuanyang half a month ago, and we have been stuck on the dock since then!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, Xiangbi, when you were halfway through your journey, you found that the monster was rampant, why did you continue to rush to Longyou?"
"It is a matter of loyalty to someone entrusted to me. Since my uncle accepted this job, he will definitely do what he says!" Cao Jiaxun said firmly.
Of course he would not admit that he actually wanted to run away halfway, but he did not give up halfway because he was afraid of Concubine Duan's wrath.
When he left the capital, Concubine Duan made harsh words, either taking Zhao Yanxun back to the capital with her, or he would never come back.
Cao Jiaxun was deeply afraid of any of his sisters.
"Uncle, what's going on in Guangyang and Hexi along the way? Has the government taken any action? Has the monster spread?" Zhao Yanxun continued to ask.
"When we docked in Hexi, Guangyang, we heard about the monster. The government and the garrison are working on dealing with it!"
"But the situation got worse as we went on. The last dozen or so ferry terminals we encountered were almost the same as Yuanyang Pier, and we couldn't stop to understand the situation!" Cao Jiaxun's expression was extremely ugly.
It was also from that time that he began to gradually experience despair, and his despair became deeper and deeper.
"How was the situation in the capital when you left?"
Hearing this, Cao Jiaxun couldn't help but sigh: "It's not peaceful. Some people have jointly impeached the prince for immorality. There is an endless quarrel in the court!"
"Maybe it's because of this that His Majesty wanted to call you back to the capital, but was repeatedly blocked by officials. That's why the Queen was worried and sent me to come by water!"
Beijing officials jointly impeached the prince? What was the cause of this? Could it be that his restless mother was instigating it again?
"Is the concubine okay?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
"Mother, she... alas!" Cao Jiaxun didn't know what to say.
