Star City, Imperial Study Room.
Tap tap tap.
Rapid footsteps sounded.
King Qin and Ren Yi just turned around and saw Emperor Changxing walking in with a cold face.
The two of them quickly stood in silence.
"My son has met my father."
"I have met your Majesty."
Changxing had no time to respond to these false gifts, and stared at the zhezi in King Qin's hand with a pair of eyes.
"I heard that King Qi has been found?"
King Qin's face trembled, but he still had to respectfully send the unread information to Emperor Changxing.
"Back to my father, this is the news that has been sent back urgently from eight hundred miles away from Baekje. Li Qinqi said in it that the emperor's younger brother has been found a few days ago and is preparing to return to Yunchui."
Emperor Changxing nodded and took the heavy fold.
He opened it and took a look.
It's full of densely written words, and it's a thick pile.
However, before he could finish reading the first line, his vision immediately turned black, and his head began to hurt.
Ouch~
"My head." Emperor Changxing couldn't help but throw the fold away and hold his head while groaning.
Ren Yi was shocked.
Not caring about the difference between the king and his subjects, he quickly stepped over in a few steps.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"Come on, call the doctor!"
The little eunuch guarding the side had already panicked. When Ren Yi yelled, he finally came to his senses, quickly turned around and ran away.
Changlu had known this, so he helped Emperor Changxing in time and fumbled for him to sit on the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, your dragon body is important. Why don't you sit down and have a good rest while I read the contents for you?"
Emperor Changxing was dizzy.
He didn't care about any medical matters, so he closed his eyes and waved his hand feebly.
"Look at what it says when did Wei Junqian find King Qi?"
In the past few months, Chen Xiuzhu had not seen anyone dead or dead, and the Changxing Emperor had become a little disheartened.
As a result, as soon as he confirmed the candidate for the crown prince, news came from Baekje that he had been found!
Thinking again, it was just a heavy rainstorm, and Chen Xiuzhu, who was under heavy protection, was able to disappear without a trace. Even after searching the entire hundred capitals, no one was found.
Emperor Changxing didn't believe in such a coincidence if no one was causing trouble.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment. Xiao Li's writing is a bit... detailed. I have to look for it carefully."
Changlu flipped through the thick booklet.
While turning over him, I cursed in my mind.
Why is this little plum writing so long-winded when he has nothing to do?
He does everything in detail, as if he is afraid that others will suspect that he is wasting his time in Baekje.
After searching for a while, Changlu finally found the answer.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lizi said above that the Starfall Army found His Highness King Qi in a place called Pingtuo Village on the fifth day of October."
The fifth day of October?
Emperor Changxing's headache subsided slightly.
However, he didn't dare to use his brain at all this time.
"Is it the person Xing Luo found after I confirmed that King Qin was the crown prince?"
Emperor Changxing's voice was cold, which made the old eunuch's heart tremble, and he could not speak.
cough.
Ren Yi coughed lightly.
"Your Majesty, according to the date mentioned by Envoy Li, it was the Xingluo Army who found His Highness King Qi first, and it was only a few days later that you decided that King Qin would be your heir."
…
Emperor Changxing didn't say anything anymore, but he stepped down suddenly as if all his strength had been drained away.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty?"
Several people, including Ren Yi, were a little shocked.
Get down, get down, get down.
At this time, the imperial doctor arrived in a hurry, and he was familiar with acupuncture, medicine, and massage.
After a long while, Emperor Changxing raised his hand slightly.
"I'm fine."
Phew~
Several people let out a long sigh.
"Changlu, please read Xiao Lizi's poem to me from the beginning, and at the same time summon the six ministers to the palace to discuss matters."
King Qin next to him was restless, not knowing whether to go or stay.
He couldn't help but straighten his neck, "Father, where are you?"
"You." Emperor Changxing seemed to have just remembered that there was such a person in the imperial study.
He opened his bloodshot eyes and took a deep look at King Qin.
"Didn't I ask you to learn how to deal with political affairs? You should also stay and listen."
"Really?"
King Qin was overjoyed, and for a moment he felt that the imperial study room in front of him seemed a little brighter.
"Thank you, my father. I will definitely learn from the Grand Master and all the ministers and live up to my father's expectations."
However, Emperor Changxing no longer paid attention to him, lowered his eyes and closed his eyes again to rest.
————
Baekje capital city, southern suburbs.
Starfall Legion station.
The long team formed a line, protecting the carriages of Chen Xiuzhu and his two concubines in the middle, and slowly returned to the west.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
Ever since Chen Xiuzhu was found, Li Qinqi has been following him every step of the way. He didn't even dare to close his eyes when sleeping, for fear that Chen Xiuzhu would be gone again when he woke up.
However, Chen Xiuzhu just frowned and did not answer. Instead, he accelerated his horse and headed towards the front of the team.
Li Qinchao caught up again.
"Your Highness, the weather in Baekje is getting colder and colder. It looks like it's going to snow. You are so precious, why don't you just sit in the car and warm yourself up."
"If there is someone your Highness wants to see? I will find it for you."
If the disappearance hadn't happened, the person in front of him might have been Yun Chui's prince or even the emperor.
But it was precisely because of this bad incident that Li Qinchen was able to get on Chen Xiuzhu's line. Naturally, he didn't want to give up easily.
Chen Xiuzhu had no choice but to slow down his horse.
"General Wei is busy with military affairs, and now he is taking the trouble to personally lead the team to escort the king back to the country. The king is grateful and went to say thank you to him."
"I see." Li Qinqi was also a clever man. He knew that Chen Xiuzhu was not just going to say thank you to Wei Junqian, so he restrained his horse obediently.
"Then please be careful, Your Highness, Baekje's broken post road is difficult to navigate."
The way forward.
Not long after, Chen Xiuzhu saw Wei Junqian, who was tall and straight in military uniform.
"Why are you here, Your Highness?"
Wei Junqian looked up at the sky.
"The weather is about to change, and His Highness's body has not fully recovered yet. It's time to take a good rest in the car."
Ha ha.
Chen Xiuzhu smiled and patted his chest, "The general is joking."
"I have also been on the battlefield and killed enemies side by side with my brothers, and I know my body quite well. I am ashamed to say that I am only slightly lacking in nutrition, and it is not a serious problem."
"If my father hadn't been in a hurry to summon me back to my country, or if I had eaten a few delicious meals of meat, I would still have been able to pick up swords and guns and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy with Xingluo's brothers."
Speaking of this, he looked at Wei Junqian with admiration.
"General, you have to deal with large and small affairs in the legion and worry about the diplomatic relations between Yunchui and Baekje. At the same time, you also have to worry about the safety of my king and find ways to repel those ferocious and cunning Japanese pirates. Only when you are dedicated to the task can you really do it. It’s hard work.”
Wei Junqian waved his hand, "It's all about responsibilities. It's not worth mentioning."
The two exchanged business blows.
After a while, Chen Xiuzhu saw that the atmosphere was good and couldn't help but change to the topic.
"General Wei, I have been in a remote mountain village these days, and I don't have much information. I don't know what the situation is in Xingji City now? My father, the emperor, mother and concubines must be very anxious."
"Yes." Wei Junqian nodded with emotion, "Your Majesty and the Concubine are indeed anxious."
"As soon as the news reached Xingji City, His Majesty sent Li Qin to check the situation without stopping. I heard that the imperial concubine also held a blessing ceremony for His Highness in the palace."
Chen Xiuzhu felt disgusted in his heart.
When he first came back from Pingtuo Village, several staff members had already told him all these things, and there was no need for Wei Junqian to tell him personally.
