Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Two days later.

Xiao Zimo received a letter from the capital.

"It seems that the king is going to take the first step."

Chu Haochen frowned slightly and asked him, but something happened in the capital.

Xiao Zimo nodded slightly and handed him the letter in his hand, telling him to read it and understand.

Chu Haochen looked up at him, looking at his dark face, and then looked at the letter in his hand. After a moment, he saw that Chu Haochen's face also turned ugly.

He said in a deep voice and went down to make arrangements, and then they set off together.

Chu Haochen came to Princess Changning's carriage and whispered to his mother in the carriage.

He didn't say what happened, but simply said that something happened in the capital and they needed to go there in advance.

"Then you should be careful."

Chu Haochen told his mother that he would only take Mo Yi with him, and the others would stay behind to protect them all the way to the capital.

"Mom, everything is fine here, don't worry."

Chu Haochen raised his head slightly and looked at his mother inside through the car window, then turned the horse's head and drove towards Mr. Lu's carriage.

"Grandpa, something happened in the capital. I want to take Qingqing and Xiao Zimo back together."

When Mr. Lu heard this, his face darkened and he asked in a deep voice: "Is this the palace?"

Chu Haochen did not hide anything and nodded towards Mr. Lu.

"Go ahead, but be careful and don't put yourself in danger."

Mr. Lu gave him a few words of caution before letting him go.

Chu Haochen came to Lu Qingqing's carriage and whispered into the carriage that there was something going on in the capital and asked her to prepare to leave immediately.

Lu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Looking at Chu Haochen's expression, she knew the seriousness of the matter.

She stopped the carriage, gave a few instructions to Tiantian in the carriage, and then called Ziyao to return to Beijing with her.

"Ziyue, please stay and protect my mother and the others and go back together. You must be careful on the way to prevent others from taking advantage of you."

"Zi Yue understands, please rest assured, Master."

Lu Qingqing got off the carriage and whispered in Chu Haochen's ear, but something happened to the emperor?

Seeing Chu Haochen nodding his head without hesitation, with a solemn look on his face, he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Do you need Master to come with you??"

Chu Haochen said that it couldn't be better.

Lu Qingqing had already figured it out in her mind. Fortunately, the master had returned to the space before.

She and Ziyao got on their horses and followed Chu Haochen towards the front of the team.

Xiao Zimo looked at the two people who came over and nodded lightly, and asked if the miracle doctor was there?

"Master has already left for the capital in advance, so don't worry. When we get to the capital, the master will have already arrived."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zimo's eyes flashed with joy, and he urged his horse to run forward with the guards beside him.

Cheng Yu was left looking at the people leaving, shaking his head helplessly.

At this time, Master Cheng called Cheng Yu to the carriage, and the father and son chatted for a long time.

Mrs. Lu looked worriedly at the back of her granddaughter who was walking away, and asked Mr. Lu what happened in the capital, and did Qingqing need to follow them to deal with it?

Mr. Lu didn't speak, he just sighed softly. What should come will still come. Fortunately, he has retired and returned to his hometown. His son's official position is also one without real power. As for his grandson...

Mr. Lu looked worriedly at the sky in the distance. He blew his whistle into the air, and soon the little eagle was hovering in the air and screaming loudly.

Mr. Lu leaned out of the car and continued to blow the whistle towards the little eagle. Soon after the little eagle determined the target, he circled and swooped down, and before approaching Mr. Lu, he slowed down and landed on his shoulder.

"Old lady, help me get the pen and paper ready."

In the carriage, Mrs. Lu asked Grandma Qi to take out the pen and ink and put it on the low table in the carriage.

Aunt Qi started to sharpen the ink, and Mr. Lu put Xiaoying outside the carriage, took out the meat pellets he had with him and threw them to Xiaoying.

After returning to the carriage, the old man wrote a note eloquently after a while, rolled it up and stuffed it into a bamboo tube, hung it on the little eagle's ankle, gave a few instructions, and let it go.

After watching the little eagle fly away, it circled twice in the air before screaming and flying away. Mr. Lu returned to the carriage.

Mrs. Lu reassured him not to worry too much, as Anping was no longer a child.

At this time, someone at the Changping Marquis Mansion in the capital actually sent a message to Lu Anping in the past two days, but he turned it down with the excuse of a recurrence of an old injury.

"Is it really okay for my husband to be like this?"

Lu Anping's face was calm and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line. Seeing this, Jingyi didn't feel like saying anything, so she just comforted him softly.

Lu Anping saw Jingyi's worry, and then raised the corners of his lips with a smile and said: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just wait for the birth with peace of mind. The emperor has been ill for the past two days, and he will not be in court for a few days. The courtier Shi I hope that the fourth prince and His Highness King Yi will be in charge of the affairs of the court at this time."

Jingyi opened her mouth in surprise, but in the end she said nothing.

Putting his hand on his belly, Lu Anping said that he would pick up his mother-in-law in a while and accompany her to wait for the birth. She would not be so nervous when she was waiting for the birth.

"Thank you sir."

A sweet smile appeared on Jingyi's face.

The atmosphere in the palace was very tense at this time. The fourth prince Xiao Zihong and Xiao Ziyi were quarreling at this time.

"Aren't you worried about my ninth brother's father? Could I still harm my father?"

Xiao Ziyi sneered. At this time, it was difficult for all the imperial doctors to determine what kind of illness his father had. How could the people brought by the fourth prince be trusted?

Xiao Zihong didn't expect Xiao Ziyi, who had always been carefree, to be so difficult to deal with. His eyes darkened, and finally he took a deep breath and explained softly:

"Ninth brother, I don't have any other intentions. I just happened to have something to do when I came back this time, so I went to Beijing with my friends. I heard that my father was ill and had not been in the morning for several days in a row. So I asked for my friend's permission to come to the capital. My father healed me.”

Xiao Ziyi said that he would not let the people brought by the fourth prince get close to his father. Just when the two were arguing, Queen Shuyuan, Concubine De Gui, Concubine Yu and others came to the emperor's palace.

"How is this going?"

The queen and the concubines looked at the red-faced two people arguing and asked with displeasure on their faces.

"Don't you know that your father is still ill, yet you are making endless noises in front of your father at this time?"

Concubine De Gui stepped forward to persuade the Queen, and then winked at King Yi and the Fourth Prince, signaling them to leave first.

Xiao Ziyi glanced at the fourth prince coldly, bowed his hands towards his mother and Concubine De, and left the emperor's chamber.

The fourth prince looked at Queen Shuyuan and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Queen Shuyuan.

"Fourth Prince, please go back to your home first. The Emperor needs to rest here. I have something to call you."

The Fourth Prince's eyes flashed slightly, he reluctantly raised his hands and exited the dormitory.

Seeing her walking away, Queen Shuyuan slumped down on the chair. Concubine De Gui took the tea from the maid and handed it to her, comforting her softly.

Concubine Jade behind her looked towards the emperor's dragon bed and saw the emperor lying there quietly, showing no sign of waking up.
