early morning.

Shou'an Palace.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, a middle-aged man lowered his head and hurried into the hall.

"Grassman Liu Heng, pay homage to Your Majesty."

After entering the hall, Liu Heng didn't dare to look at the emperor in front of him, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice.

"stand up!"

Emperor Shang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Say, what's going on?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Heng stood up, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it out, and said stammeringly, "This is what the Fourth Prince pawned in Caomin's pawn shop. Caomin saw that the jade pendant was something in the palace, so he found an aunt who had been on duty in the palace and identified it. She said that only the prince could wear this thing."

Behind Emperor Shang, the eunuch quickly stepped forward to take the jade pendant, and handed it to the emperor in front of him, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the fourth emperor's close-fitting jade pendant."

The jade pendant inlaid with gold and jade is carved with a four-clawed dragon, and on the back of the jade pendant, the word "美" is engraved, which clearly indicates the identity of the owner of the jade pendant.

The Emperor Shang looked at the jade pendant, his always sinister face, and he couldn't help but feel moved at this moment.

It’s Bai’er’s jade pendant!

Bai'er, still alive!

"Where are people!"

Soon, the Shang Emperor suppressed the turbulence in his heart, raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Youzhou City." Liu Heng responded respectfully.

When Emperor Shang heard this, his expression was slightly calm. Youzhou was not close to the capital, so how could Bai'er get there?

In addition, if Bai'er is fine, why hasn't she come back?

"Chief Xuanzhuang is here."

After a brief thought, the Shang Emperor came to his senses and ordered.

"yes!"

In the hall, the eunuch took the order and immediately left quickly and went to pass the order.

Not long after, the Imperial Guard commander Zhuang Shisan entered the hall and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty!"

"Zhuang Shisan, you personally take someone to Youzhou. The Fourth Prince once appeared there. You will travel lightly and easily. Go and return quickly. Be sure to bring the Fourth Prince back safely!" The Emperor Shang looked at the commander of the imperial guards in front of him and ordered.

"yes!"

Zhuang Shisan respectfully and obeyed the order.

"Your name is Liu Heng, right?"

Emperor Shang looked over and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, saying, "You go back with Commander Zhuang. As long as you find the fourth prince, I will have a great reward."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Heng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and thanked him.

"Go."

The Emperor Shang waved his hand and said.

"The minister (the minister) sued his retreat."

Zhuang Shisan and Liu Heng took the order and left together immediately.

After the two left, in the hall, the Shang Emperor took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it again and again. After a long time, he ordered, "Prefer the jade pendant to the queen."

"yes!"

Behind him, the eunuch took the order, stepped forward to take the jade pendant, and left quickly.

Two quarters of an hour later.

In Weiyang Palace, Empress Changsun's body trembled and her expression completely froze when she saw the jade pendant sent by the eunuch.

The next moment, tears flowed silently in the eyes of both eyes.

On the side, Murong saw the jade pendant in her mother's hand, and couldn't help but turn her head away and stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Go down, I want to be quiet."

After a few breaths, Empress Changsun suppressed the waves in her heart and ordered.

"yes!"

In the hall, a group of eunuchs took the order and left one after another.

"Murong."

After everyone left, Empress Changsun held the jade pendant in her hand tightly and asked, "Did you know about this long ago?"

When Murong heard this, he looked stunned and said in confusion, "Why did the Queen Mother say this?"

"Because you've been doing something abnormal recently."

Empress Changsun looked at her daughter in front of her and said with a complicated expression, "You were born in this palace. Something was wrong with you. I could tell at a glance. However, I thought that you were abnormal because your father was resistant to marriage. Now I think that this is not the case. The last time you asked me to buy you half a month, and now I will calculate it. It's almost half a month. Tell me, where did you get the news from."

When Murong heard what his mother said, she sighed softly, knowing that she could no longer hide it, and responded truthfully, "Brother, it was someone sent by Teacher Li to save him."

"Teacher Li?"

Queen Changsun was stunned for a moment, quickly reacted, her eyes sank, and said, "No, are you plotting something? Teaching Li saved your brother is a great achievement, and there is no need to hide it."

Speaking of this, Empress Changsun seemed to have thought of something and continued to ask, "How many people are there to know about this?"

"Apart from my daughter, there are only my aunt and cousins."

Murong answered, looked out the window and murmured softly, "Student Li wants to clear all obstacles before the position of the prince for his brother, so he has been hiding this matter. Now, the time has come, and it is almost time for his brother to come back."

Just when Emperor Shang and Empress Changsun received the news that Mu Bai was still alive.

I don’t know where there are barren mountains and ridges.

In an isolated courtyard, Mu Bai spread out his parcels and carefully packed his things in the room in the courtyard.

The Longyuan sword needs to be taken away.

The dragon scales given by Brother Li also have to be taken away. After returning to the palace, he needs to find the swordsman in the palace to re-forge Longyuan.

There is also Tengser blood, which is useful for quenching swords.

Change clothes?

Forget it, just bring one or two pieces, and there are so many things after returning to the palace.

There seems to be nothing else to bring.

At this moment, outside the house, Xifeng walked in with food and said, "Your Highness, let's go after dinner."

In the room, Mu Bai looked at the meal that Uncle Xi had worked hard to prepare, nodded gently, and responded, "Okay."

Xifeng put the food on the table, handed the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Eat more, no one will cook for Your Highness on the way."

Mu Bai was silent, took the dishes and ate the food on the table bite by bit. After more than ten breaths, he whispered, "Uncle Xi, please go to the capital if you have time."

"If you have a chance."

Xifeng nodded and replied, "By the way, Ye Xuanji is in Taixue Palace. Your Highness can go and see him when he has time."

When Mu Bai heard the three words Ye Xuanji, his body couldn't help but tremble and his face turned much pale.

The memory that is unbearable to look back on is creepy no matter when you think of it.

After a meal, not long after eating, the rice cooked by Xifeng, not only with all the colors, fragrance and taste, at least it can be eaten, which is many times better than Ye Xuanji's terrible cooking skills.

After Mu Bai had a meal, he was about to set off.

However, just as he was about to leave, Mu Bai stopped again, turned around, and asked, "Uncle Xi, can I come back in the future?"

"No."

In the room, Xifeng cleaned up the dishes and replied calmly, "The young master said that when your highness goes back this time, he must shoulder the burden of the prince and cannot be willful anymore."

When Mu Bai heard this, he sighed softly, said nothing, and turned around and left.

Today, he finally understood what Brother Li said.

In life, there are eight or nine out of ten things that are not satisfactory.

Can't be willful anymore.
