Because it was an emergency period, several huge trees as thick as wooden beams were placed behind the city gate to hold it against the city gate.

Therefore, more than 100 of their soldiers spent a lot of effort to open the heavy iron city gate.

Seeing Pei Zhiran, Yin Tianyou, and the young emperor Sun Zhuo Hongzhi, they all got off the carriage.

Cheng Qingqing glanced at them one by one and asked lightly: "Why are you back again?"

Hearing her slightly disgusted tone, Pei Zhiran shook his head and smiled: "Si Wenchang and his son are running around. We were afraid of being caught, so we had to come back to seek protection."

"I have met King Jing'an and Princess Zhao'an!"

Yin Tianyou and Zhuo Hongzhi also came over to greet him.

Cheng Qingqing nodded and looked at Zhuo Hongzhi.

The young boy's eyes were no longer as evasive and cowardly as before, his body was straight and upright, his face was more calm, and he no longer held the old eunuch's hand all the time.

"Since you are all back, please come in! But you have to go back to Bafang Garden to stay. When father is free, I will tell him about your affairs so that I can arrange for you to meet."

The meaning of the people from these three countries returning is self-evident. With the current situation of Daxingguo, it is natural to hope to have good relations with neighboring countries.

Pei Zhiran sincerely wanted to show his goodwill. If he could establish a good relationship with Daxing Kingdom, he would have no worries and could concentrate on dealing with King Ji's forces when he returned.

Zhuo Hongzhi must have weighed the pros and cons, and Daxing Country has a new political power. Naturally, he came back this time to strive for greater benefits for his country.

And Yin Tianyou is just a wallflower, with the same virtues as his emperor brother, he can steer according to the wind and fall wherever the wind blows.

He saw Cheng Qingqing's ability, even Director Tai was defeated by her, and he could clearly distinguish the stakes, so he naturally wanted to come back to express his position.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

The three of them bowed their hands and thanked them, then got on the carriage again and entered the city.

It was not until noon that Cheng Qingqing and Li Beimo returned to the palace, bringing with them a food box given to them by Nangong Beier.

When they arrived at the imperial study, the ministers had already left, and Baili Changyao was reviewing the memorial.

"Dad! You've been busy all morning, are you tired?" Cheng Qingqing walked up behind Baili Changyao and rubbed his shoulders.

"Qing'er, your acupuncture skills are so amazing! The arthritis in my father's legs has actually healed." Baili Changyao said in surprise.

Last night, his legs were still sore and uncomfortable. After only one night of sleep, they were really better.

After sitting here all morning, I don't feel cold anymore.

Cheng Qingqing smiled and said, "My daughter is very powerful, right?"

"That's right! Can the daughter I gave birth to be any different?" Baili Changyao said proudly.

"Father, my cousin from the Nangong family gave me some food. My uncle said that you like to eat roast goose the most, so he made one for you. After lunch, you can get back to work!" Cheng Qingqing said.

"Is there any roast goose?" Upon hearing this, Baili Changyao immediately put down the book and pen in his hand.

"Yes! It smells delicious to me. It must be delicious." Cheng Qingqing cleared a low table and asked Li Beimo to bring out the food.

There are three layers in the food box. The first layer is four dishes; the second layer is a chopped roast goose. The goose meat is roasted until it is brown, and the color is delicious. The third layer is a casserole, which is cooked in a pot. The best is venison and ginseng soup.

Cheng Qingqing helped Baili Changyao sit down at the table, "Dad, although goose meat is delicious, you can't eat more of it!"

"Did your uncle remember it wrong? My father's favorite food is roast chicken. When he traveled abroad, he liked to hunt pheasants and roast them the most, as well as hares..." Baili Changyao suddenly stopped as he spoke. , looking a little bad.

Cheng Qingqing knew that he was thinking of something bad, so he advised, "Dad, let's not talk about the past things. I'll tell you something after dinner."

The three of them said nothing and finished their lunch quietly.

"Dad, do you know that you were seduced by Si Wenchang?" Cheng Qingqing asked directly.

"Tongmingyin?" Baili Changyao shook his head, although he didn't know what it was? But when I heard these three words, I knew it was not a good thing, and I vaguely understood something.

"But my father knew that Si Wenchang and his son were very afraid that something would happen to him, even if he was injured. A few years after being captured by them, my father saw that there was no hope of escape, so he had the idea of ​​​​committing suicide. He once went on a hunger strike and fainted from hunger. Found and rescued.

From then on, Si Changtai asked people to monitor his father all the time, so he knew that the Si family father and son had done something unknown. "

"This is what happened..." Cheng Qingqing slowly told him everything about Tongming Yin.

"Moreover, there is no explanation for the fate of the same fate. Si Wenchang has tied your fate to that of Si Changtai. You will live! He will live! If anything happens to you, he will not survive."

Baili Changyao's fists clenched loudly, and his chest was burning with anger.

"Qing'er, go and bring your mother and brother to Daxing! I want to make Yi'er the crown prince."

He wanted to raise his son as soon as possible and finally settle things with Director Tai. After so many years, the grudge between them should also end.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm just telling you this to give you an idea."

Cheng Qingqing held his hand with both hands, "Everything in the world is interdependent. It looks like death, but death is life. My daughter has her own way."

"Qingqing, this kind of technique is very dangerous and evil. Promise dad not to take risks. You and your brother will be fine. The worst is that I will die with him!" Baili Changyao looked at her worriedly, fearing that she would take risks to save him. .

"Okay, I won't take risks. Our whole family wants to be well." Cheng Qingqing said.

They agreed on a date to return to Fengjin Kingdom, and Li Beimo left the palace again.

Baili Changyao left Cheng Qingqing in the imperial study and asked her to help with some government affairs.

He could see that this daughter was very extraordinary.

All afternoon, Cheng Qingqing accompanied her father in the imperial study, helping him sort out some government affairs, talking to him, and telling him about the events of their mother and son over the years.

At night, Cheng Qingqing still lived with Baili Changyao in Mingqing Hall. She also asked her father to soak in the Lingquan water to cure his old problems.

In the afternoon of the next day, they received an urgent letter eight hundred miles away from a prefect, saying that one of his scouts had discovered the traces of Si Wenchang and his son and fled northeast.

Baili Changyao couldn't help but worry after reading it, "Qing'er, what do you think of this matter?"

Cheng Qingqing looked at the map, thought for a while and said: "It is possible that they went to the Beixin Kingdom. Si Wenchang is from the Jade Kingdom. Maybe they ran back to their hometown, but it is not ruled out that they will go to the Fengjin Kingdom." .”

"Qing'er, you will take people to Fengjin Kingdom today to fetch your mother and younger brother." Baili Changyao felt that he could not delay the matter of picking up his wife and children any longer.
