Parents are busy farming

The two of them sat together in the slowly moving carriage, and Zhang Gaoyi sat next to Ye Zifen with a tired look on his face.

At this moment, the carriage was silent and both of them were silent. They looked obviously exhausted from running around for days.

The carriage swayed with the ups and downs of the road, but they still sat upright, as if they wanted to maintain this tenacity until the end.

When the carriage finally drove out of the majestic palace, Zhang Gaoyi turned his head slightly and asked softly, "Going to the Fuxia Princess's Mansion?"

Ye Zifen nodded gently and said calmly, "It's all right!"

A smile flashed across Zhang Gaoyi's eyes, and he immediately said, "Let's go! The Master and the others are waiting over there, they must be expecting us to come over."

Ye Zifen nodded slightly and responded, "Okay! Madam Qi will be leaving the palace tomorrow. After we go back today, I will ask the servants to stew something nourishing for you."

Zhang Gaoyi looked a little puzzled when he heard this. He looked at Ye Zifen and said, "Don't you hate those supplements? Why did you suddenly want to stew them for me?"

Ye Zifen smiled softly and explained, "I just thought that you have worked very hard to guard the imperial city these days, and you deserve some nourishment."

After hearing this, Zhang Gaoyi felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I have persevered despite the hardships in the military camp. There is no need to do this. I will recover after two days of rest."

Ye Zifen looked at him gently and said, "Then let's not stew it for now. I'm really tired and need to go back and have a good sleep. Madam Qi will make all the arrangements tomorrow."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the car wall, seeming to be a little drowsy.

Zhang Gaoyi sat quietly aside, his thoughts drifting away, and various scenes of guarding the imperial city in recent days emerged in his mind...

It was a dark and windy night with a moon as thick as ink. The dim moonlight was obscured by layers of dark clouds, and it seemed as if the whole world was plunged into endless darkness.

He stood quietly at the majestic gate of the imperial city, wearing heavy armor, holding the shining sword tightly in his hand, like a guardian god guarding a sacred area.

At this moment, a gorgeously decorated but slightly mysterious carriage slowly approached from a distance like a ghost.

The sound of the wheels rolling over the ground seemed particularly clear in the silent night, as if the footsteps of death were approaching step by step.

He immediately became alert and walked forward to conduct a careful inspection as usual. When he carefully lifted the heavy curtain, a strong and strange fragrance suddenly hit him. The smell was like flowers but not flowers, like grass but not grass, with an elusive and charming scent.

In fact, he was able to ask the question thanks to the medicinal herbs that Master Shangguan prepared for Ye Zifen. Sometimes Ye Zifen would give him some. Since then, his hearing, smell and taste have become extremely sensitive.

At that moment, his heart suddenly tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

With his experience in interrogating spies in the army and his keen intuition, he knew that there must be some unspeakable secret hidden in this.

So he began to search the carriage meticulously, leaving no corner untouched.

Sure enough, under the seat of the car that seemed to be normal, he actually found several packages of hidden drugs.

This was the third time a similar situation had occurred in the past few days, and every time it happened he felt terrified.

Now the emperor's health is getting worse and worse. If these medicines are used in the palace, regardless of whether they are used on the emperor or not, they will be held responsible.

Another time, a palace maid who looked extremely ordinary on weekdays left the imperial city and went to the imperial mausoleum every day.

However, when she returned that day, her steps were a little faster than usual, which was inconsistent with the rules of the palace and her behavior when she left the palace these days.

Seeing this, he rushed forward without hesitation, stopped her, and questioned her harshly.

A trace of panic flashed across the palace maid's eyes, and then she began to dodge constantly, not daring to look him in the eye.

After a careful search, they found several suspicious medicine packages in her seemingly inconspicuous package. The packaging of the medicine packages was very exquisite.

Sent to the Imperial Hospital, it was discovered that the drug was that kind of...

This has happened repeatedly over the past forty days, no less than ten times.

Every discovery was like a bombshell dropped into his peaceful life, catching him off guard.

In his daily interactions with the imperial guards, he gradually discovered many subtle clues.

Among the imperial guards, a considerable number of them are close confidants of several princes. They each have their own thoughts and goals, and they fight and scheme against each other in the palace.

However, there was no sign of the prince, nor any of his trusted aides.

The situation in the palace is like a tangled mess, becoming increasingly complicated and unpredictable, leaving people confused.

Every time he faced the eyes of these people with ulterior motives, he could feel the malice and calculation hidden deep within.

Every time he sensed some conspiracy hidden in the dark, he felt a chill down his spine and the pressure doubled.

He carefully recalled the scenes of the past few days. The moment when the Sixth Prince's confidant was caught on the spot acting on his own and secretly sending a message to the Sixth Prince's Mansion outside the palace, his eyes flashed with a vicious light like a venomous snake.

It was as if the creature wanted to eat him alive, and the ferocious aura made him shudder.

Then, the extremely hypocritical smile displayed by the Third Prince's men when they tried to bribe him emerged in his mind again. That smile was like poison coated with honey. It looked tempting, but in fact it was full of danger and made people want to spit on it.

Just when they had not yet recovered from these past experiences, they had just managed to settle the issue with the Fourth Prince with great effort. They thought they could temporarily relax, but who could have imagined that now the other two princes had revealed their great ambitions.

That ambition was like a flame in the darkness, and it began to spread inadvertently.

Looking at this increasingly complicated situation, he was filled with confusion and anxiety. He really had no idea where the future would lead.

The wind in the imperial city was still blowing coldly and tirelessly, as if telling the ruthlessness of time and the fickleness of the world.

Summer is over.

When they arrived at Princess Fuxia's mansion, Ye Zifen was already fast asleep.

Zhang Gaoyi carried Ye Zifen directly back to the room and let her sleep for a while while he went to prepare a bath for her.

This is Ye Zifen's habit. She must wash up after coming back from outside. Of course, she didn't have the conditions to do so when she was on the road, and she would not ask for it even if she was dirty.
