Hua Yao's illness recovered unexpectedly quickly. Jin Miaomiao's explanation was that it was because he was still young and had a good foundation. There is another important reason, which is that Song Jue opened up the knot in his heart and became very comfortable, so he recovered quickly.
Originally, Bai Meng's plan was to stay in Jiaping Pass for five days, but because of Hua Yao, he stayed a few more days. Now that Hua Yao was alive and kicking again, and could endure the fatigue of traveling, the commander-in-chief began to make plans to return to Beijing. Song Jue is still an emperor no matter what, and it is not appropriate to have been out for too long.
"You've seen everything you need to see, you've played everything you need to play, and you've eaten everything you want to eat. It's time to go back." Xue Ruitian moved his imperial concubine's couch out again and lay there lazily. Above, "It's better to choose the day than to hit it. Let's wait until the day after tomorrow. I'll give you time to pack your things."
"I think so too." Bai Meng nodded, "What do the Duke and the General think?"
"We have no objection. The Commander-in-Chief should report back to His Majesty to see if he agrees."
Bai Meng took a deep breath. Shen Haolin was right. No matter how good their discussion was, it would be in vain if Song Jue himself didn't agree.
But he didn't expect that Song Jue didn't even stutter when he heard that he was going to return to Beijing. He agreed immediately.
"You...you..." Bai Meng doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears, so he reached out and took it out twice, "You agreed?"
"Yes, I agreed. Is there any problem?" Seeing Bai Meng's surprised expression, Song Jue felt that her hands were suddenly itchy and she had the urge to hit someone. "Xiaobaizi, Xiaobaizi, what's your expression like that? I still keep my promise, and isn't it a few days longer than expected? I'm very satisfied."
Bai Meng touched his nose. He didn't know what to say next. The words he had thought of before were useless.
"Looking at you like this, are you ready to persuade me with a long speech?" Song Jue curled her lips and sighed heavily, "Okay, I know that I have done many bad things in the past. That’s why all of you are worried, I don’t blame you for having a large number of them.”
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for being so self-aware!" Bai Meng couldn't bear it any longer, and regardless of whether it would be a disgrace to the king or not, he gave Song Jue a roll of his eyes, "This is the first time you have been so obedient! "
"Ahem, why don't you tell me if you see something wrong? Just save some face for me, right?" Song Jue touched her face and covered up her embarrassment, "I think it's time to go back. I can't let my mother worry, otherwise You won’t allow me to run out this time!”
Bai Meng listened to the first few sentences, but the last sentence was different. But no matter what, their Majesty did not contradict him. It was already pie in the sky, and he was very satisfied.
Song Jue agreed to return to Beijing, and Shen Cha began to arrange for someone to escort him. He originally refused, but Shen Cha blocked him from going back.
"If you don't agree with the person I arranged, then I will send you back in person." Shen Cha sat opposite Song Jue, raised an eyebrow at him, and said calmly, "By the way, you can also go into the palace and apologize in front of the Queen Mother. As you said, please ask the Queen Mother not to agree to your request to leave the palace again."
"...Xiao Chacha, you were not like this before. Did Xiaotian and Haolin lead you into trouble? You can't learn this from them!" Song Jue looked at Shen Cha pitifully with his eyes full of grievance, "I It’s enough to have Xiaobaizi by our side and Hua Yao to go with us!”
Shen Cha didn't speak, just stared at him, which made Song Jue feel uncomfortable and finally defeated.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want to arrange!" Song Jue stood up and came to Shen Cha's side, poking her forehead, "I'll listen to you, are you happy?"
"Well, I'm happy!" Shen Cha replied perfunctorily, "I want to say more, but I can't tell the Queen Mother about that matter, and I can't miss a word."
"Don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth." Song Jue made a gesture of sealing his mouth. "I won't say anything until there is a definite result. Just pretend that I don't know anything about it. Just go ahead and do it." Bar!"
"Okay!" Shen Cha nodded, "Also, my brother and I will escort Wan Yanxi to Beijing and stay in Xijing for a while. I guess there should be a clear answer by then." She handed it to Song Jue. Taking a bowl of tea, he smiled and said, "Is there anything else you would like to ask?"
"I do have something to tell you." Song Jue put down the tea bowl in his hand and stared at Shen Cha seriously, "No matter whether the war against Jin is successful or not, you, Haolin, and Xiaotian must take good care of yourselves. , try not to get hurt. If you get hurt accidentally, don’t hide it from me, okay?”
"I'm afraid I can't do it without getting hurt, but I can still do it without hiding it from you." Shen Cha smiled, "I promise you, I will tell you anything."
"Be good!" Song Jue reached out and touched Shen Cha's head, "How many people do you plan to send to me?"
"Not too many, so as not to attract other people's attention." Shen Cha tapped the table gently, "The commander-in-chief can fight one against ten, so he is absolutely reliable. Although Hua Yao has just recovered from a serious illness, he still has the ability to protect himself. , so I’m not very worried about the two of them.”
"I'm the one who is worried. I really bother you to worry about me." Song Jue lay on the table, "Xiao Chacha, you'd better send a few more people. In a few days, you and Hao Lin will go to Beijing. Although the soldiers following the capital will be stationed outside the city or in the Forbidden Army’s camp, the Duke’s Mansion will still be occupied occasionally, and people must be sent to clean it well to avoid having no place to live.”
"That's right, I really didn't expect this."
Shen Cha considered it carefully and decided to let Ying Thirteen and twenty shadows accompany Song Jue back to the capital, and Dai Yi, as her key target of training, was also among those who returned to the capital this time.
When Dai Yi received the news, he couldn't believe his ears. After confirming it repeatedly, he cried with joy and was out of breath.
Mei Lin and Mei Zhu took this as amusement and came back to talk to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. They were both helpless. Dai Yi when they first met was an arrogant demon king, but now Dai Yi is just a little kid who cries even if he doesn't understand. Fool.
At the farewell banquet before Song Jue left for Beijing, Shen Cha unexpectedly received a handwritten letter from Yerunan. When Ying Si handed the letter to her, she was watching Shen Haolin pick the leg of lamb.
"Yelunan?" After receiving the letter handed over by Ying Si, Shen Cha took out the letter paper and unfolded it. He quickly browsed it and said to the people staring at him, "In addition to the daily greetings, he mentioned two things. Things. The first thing is that they caught the person who attacked Yelvertu. As we speculated before, they are indeed the chamberlains and maids in the palace. "
"What am I talking about!" Song Jue shook his head triumphantly, "The person who has the opportunity to do such a thing is definitely the person around him. If you follow this investigation, you will definitely not be able to escape."
"Almost half of the palace maids and chamberlains were involved, and their purpose was very clear, which was not to leave the palace. In addition, under severe torture, some palace maids also confessed that King Xiao Liao died suddenly and violently before. , it was also their fault. According to Yerunan, King Xiao Liao did not need to die, or he did not need to die so early, but some of them received instructions from certain people in their respective families, asking them to kill King Xiao Liao as soon as possible. Life, at the same time, pour this basin of dirty water on Yelvertu."
"Respective families?" Shen Haolin frowned, put the chopped mutton on a small plate, and placed it in front of Shen Cha, "Are they the ones with little power?"
"It should be, but..." Shen Cha looked at the letter a few more times and shook his head slightly, "Yelunan didn't write it. This is considered a family scandal, so he definitely wouldn't have gone into so much detail. If we hadn't happened upon Yelvertu being sick, This letter won’t be there either.”
"That's true." Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing looked at each other. Jin Jing took a sip of tea, picked a piece of mutton that was not too thin on the plate in front of her and stuffed it into her mouth. She chewed it and said, "Yelurtu People who are so proud of themselves, but who show off even when they are sick and don't let us see it, will not be happy for us to know about their family scandals. Yelunan was willing to tell us because he knew that we would not talk nonsense." He tilted his head and looked at it. Shen Cha, "It's not two things, what is the second thing?"
"Wanyanxi has made all preparations and will leave for Daxia on the third day of next month..." Shen Cha raised his head and looked at Song Jue, "Go to Beijing to meet the Emperor of Daxia and ask for Daxia's help in person."
"Wise choice." Song Jue smiled and clapped his hands, "Now that he has made up his mind, I will wait for him in the capital!"
