The carriage was driving, and the lights were shaking. On the road outside, there were noisy sounds when the search team came to meet. Occasionally, fires swayed by in groups, and some people were whispering, which slowed down the carriage.

Zhao Ji's son was still in Bai Ning's hand. He cried for a while on the road and was coaxed to sleep again. At this moment, there was a huge team around him, and it was inevitable that he would be noisy and noisy. The baby in his arms showed signs of awakening, and when he pouted his mouth, he was about to cry.

Bai Ning pillowed the child with one hand and gently patted the swaddle with the other hand.

One fast and one slow, as the shaft rises and falls.

In the loose and vertical silver thread, the cold corner of his mouth suddenly smiled. He looked at the child and thought that he used to coax his son to sleep like this.

"That naughty guy, I don't know if I'm going to sleep... Little guy... Don't imitate your brother... Do you know? Otherwise, my uncle would have to spank..."

In the cradle, the red little face was slightly frowned like the thin eyebrows of his mother Li Shishi, as if protesting, and looked adorable.

It was already late at night when the prince was sent back to the palace.

The lights in Yanfu Palace were still bright, and Cao Zhenchun was always guarding outside the hall gate, never leaving. When Bai Ning appeared in his arms with the prince, the wrinkles piled up on his face were unfolded. He quickly let the little eunuch beside him pass on the empress dowager, and he followed the chief supervisor and Wei Zhongxian all the way in.

Inside the hall.

**The two women who were not sleeping walked down the imperial stairs with their skirts and hugged the baby from Bai Ning. Seeing that the eldest son was sleeping soundly, they both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and asked the wet nurse to come over and take care of him. Of course, they had to carefully identify it.

"Let me see the emperor."

Just as the wet nurse carried the little prince down, Zhao Ji had already come out at some point outside the bedroom, and his expression was probably much better than before.

Queen Zheng Wan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, her tone was tactful and blamed: "The official family just took medicine and was better. Why don't they rest for a while? If they get cold again, how can they have a good life?"

"Who can sleep when I have such a thing? Besides, my son is still missing. How can I feel at ease?" Zhao Ji said in a stiff tone. Obviously, he didn't know how to communicate with the queen. When the wet nurse came over with the little prince, he broke free from the queen's support, stepped forward and took the cradle in his arms. He looked at the little man inside, and his intimate face was close to his face for a while, staring at his son's little face carefully, and then he smiled happily.

"Smile, laugh." Wei Zhongxian said flatteringly: "Empress Dowager, when you see the little prince laughing, it means that there is nothing big in your heart. The Empress Dowager and the Empress should go back and have more rest. There are slaves here."

Shang Yu also had a smile on his face, "Just you would say, Zhongxian is the one who is close to his own people. Since the prince has been found, then I will go back to Ciming Palace first."

"Mother, wait for Wan'er." The queen bowed to Zhao Jifu: "The official family, Wan'er will also leave first. If you feel that the palace is deserted, you might as well come to Wan'er's palace."

Zhao Ji stared at the prince's face and said a simple nod, then stopped replying.

Over there, the woman was slightly disappointed and took the palace maid to leave Yanfu Palace.

"This little guy looks really like me..." Zhao Ji was intimate with his son for a while before handing it to the wet nurse to take it away. He exhaled, turned around and sat back on the dragon chaise, lowered his eyes to Bai Ning: "Are they... dead?"

Bai Ning bowed: "Everyone is dead, the Duke Wei can testify about this matter."

On the other side, Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and glanced at the people next to him, and said in agreement: "The official family, I did see with my own eyes. Admiral Bai was so cruel. He was one sword and one by one, and they all died of death..."

"Stop talking." Zhao Ji waved his hand and interrupted him, looking at Bai Ning again: "Shi Shi... Did Li Shishi say anything before he died."

"There is...she said: I hope the government can remember a woman who gave birth to a child for him, remembered him and was willing to die for his sake..."

After the dragon's case was on the imperial stairs, it suddenly became silent as if it was dead.

"Face..." Zhao Ji stared at the swaying lights expressionlessly, "...My face..." His hands trembled slightly, as if he realized that something was really wrong.

The hall was silent. After a long time, around the third day, he slowly spoke: "Xiao Ningzi, last time you told me that you were going to the north to supervise military affairs, and I also felt that you needed you to go there. So you can go there and come back when the prince is full moon."

Below, Bai Ning immediately bowed: "I know that what I have done has brought shame to Your Majesty. I will work diligently to help the officials complete the Northern Expedition."

"It's the best you can think so, and go."

"yes."

Bai Ning responded and bowed and left Yanfu Palace. No one noticed that the moment he left the hall, he smiled loudly. The old eunuch who sent him out whispered behind him: "Congratulations to the Lord for taking another step."

"Well, it's not far... not far..." The back of the stone steps in front of the hall who had already walked down was murmuring, not knowing who was talking to.

………….

In Yanfu Palace.

After the dragon case, the lights on the bronze lamp reflected Zhao Ji and Wei Zhongxian, and the voice asked again: "Li Shishi and the others are really dead?"

The eunuch standing up nodded, "What I saw with my own eyes, all four of them were pierced by Admiral Bai's quick sword. If they were not dead like this, then I really don't know who else in this world is not dead."

"It's okay," Zhao Ji seemed to have all his strength suddenly, raised his hand, and slowly put it down, and walked with a staggering pace. "After Bai Ning left, Zhongxian will make up for the vacancy left by the East Factory and do it well."

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and walked forward and knelt down two steps, knocking his head to the ground, "I will definitely devote my life to my death and repay the official's kindness for his grace."

"Stop talking..." Zhao Ji looked at him, turned around, and his voice slowly: "You can't do Zhuge Liang, and I'm not Adou either."

The departed back disappeared alone at the door of the bedroom.

"Now... it should be natural for Wugui to enter the harem... Looking at His Majesty's appearance, he should need a warm beauty..."

Wei Zhongxian was sometimes proud and sometimes laughing, and knelt there for a while.

******************************************************************

In the early morning, birds sing and wandering among the branches to court, then flapping their wings and flying towards the foothills twenty miles southwest of Bianliang. Their vision was over the forest. There was a village near a flat place near the mountain.

The bird flew down and landed on the roof, walking rustling on the green tiles.

Yan Qing woke up in a daze and sat up suddenly. Her chest suddenly hurt. Her upper body was covered with bandages, and blood was seeping out, as well as the smell of herbs.

He carefully scanned the house, and it was filled with extremely ordinary and exquisite furnishings, not in the prison, nor in the palace, nor in his own house in Bianliang.

Very strange.

"…The Supervisor did not kill Xiao Yi..." After a little came to his senses, Yan Qing immediately thought of the reason why he was still alive, "Then... and didn't he kill Shishi?"

At that moment, regardless of his injuries, he quickly went down the ground and walked out a few steps. He creaked and pushed open outside the door. A man came in, wearing an extra-staff uniform and a heroic face, which was a bit awkward.

However, he soon recognized who this person was, "Shi Bao..."

It turned out that after sending the fake woman Wugui to the carriage in the West Factory that day, Shi Bao and his wife received Bai Ning's help and re-registered the Ministry of Revenue, renamed Shi Dabao, and got a lot of money, so they bought a farmhouse to live a life outside the house. They lived a peaceful and peaceful life without competing with others.

Shi Bao helped him and sat down, with a smile on his face, "I saved you yesterday, but it was actually strange. Feng Mei and I accidentally received a flying stone. There was a note tied to the stone, which revealed the names and origins of my husband and wife. We asked us to meet in the mountain temple of the Tiger Jumping Stream. Unexpectedly, we went over and saw that you were already lying there, dying, and almost iced."

"It should be... the Supervisor notified you." Yan Qing knew some of the situation. If anyone knows Shi Bao's whereabouts, besides the admiral of the East Factory, only Xiao Chenzi next to Bai Ning was left.

Naturally, a little eunuch dared not act rashly at will, so only Bai Ning's instructions were left.

Yan Qing's eyes turned red, and he knelt down toward the northeast Bianliang City, and his head pounded on the ground three times: "The great kindness of the Lord, Xiao Yi will never forget it. If he is sent in the future, he will do whatever he wants to go through fire and water."

Outside the door, Wu Song and the other two were silent.

Lu Zhishen touched his chest and sighed deeply from his thick lips on his beard: "That eunuch is wrongly blamed him again, but this man didn't say hello in advance."

"I owe him a life." Wu Song clenched his fists, "Isn't that eunuch named Wei the opponent of Bai Ning? I'll kill him and repay the favor."

Monk Hua turned around and walked out, "It's considered a family member. The family member does not like to owe others things, especially favors."

….

With a creaking sound, the door opened.

The figure rushed out very quickly.

They turned around and saw Yan Qing shakingly walking quickly in the direction Shi Bao pointed at, then stood in front of a room door and gently opened the door.

The man named Yan Qing showed a smile and tears that he had never seen before.
