Taking advantage of darkness, Yan Qing delivered the letter that Xiao Yu asked him to write to He's house.

When Master He saw Xiao Yu's letter, he refused it outright.

"Go back and tell Prince Su that he saved my son and I am very grateful to him, but it is too dangerous outside and I cannot risk losing my son to repay him."

He Zhang secretly returned to Beijing with Xiao Yu. After returning, Master He ordered him to stay in the secret room and hide it even from his wife and children.

Now the emperor is looking for him all over the city, and the person who is going to assassinate him is Sima Changfeng. Sima Changfeng is one of the emperor's subordinates, and the person most likely to kill him is the emperor.

He didn't dare let his son go out until the court officials returned to Beijing.

He didn't know whether the emperor would send someone else to assassinate him a second time.

But Taifu He couldn't understand why the emperor would kill his son, a deputy general with little power, when three generations of his family were loyal officials.

The best way was to wait until all the court officials returned to Beijing, and then he would make the matter as big as possible, until everyone knew about it, leaving the emperor with no excuse to kill his son.

If he went out at this time and there were killers or assassins waiting on the road, his son might be killed before he reached Longhua Temple.

Yan Qing told Xiao Yu exactly what Master He had said.

Xiao Yu sneered after hearing this, "It turns out that scholars don't know how to repay kindness. If you don't take the soft approach, then use the hard approach. Go again."

Soon, Yan Qing came to the front of Master He again. Looking at the wrinkled face in front of him, Yan Qing said coldly: "The prince has another message for me to pass on to Master."

"Sima Changfeng is in my hands. If you don't cooperate, there's no point in keeping him in my hands. Maybe I'll be in a good mood these two days and let him go."

"If he meets the emperor first, General He will be in the same boat with me, and he won't be able to clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Master Taifu, please do as you wish!"

Master He's wrinkled face became uglier and uglier. He looked at Yan Qing with resentment and said bitterly, "I have no grudges against him in the past or today, so why is Xiao Yu so aggressive!"

Yan Qing looked at Master He and said coldly, "You are also going to take your son to see the emperor. It's just a matter of time. Our prince would not have asked you to come forward unless there was something urgent."

"I can't repay him for saving my son with my son's life!" Tutor He said angrily. He was so excited that his cloudy eyes seemed to be bulging out of his sunken eye sockets.

His all-white beard was trembling slightly because he was too excited.

Yan Qing stared at him without blinking, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, and spoke coldly.

"Master Taifu! You are the tutor of two generations of emperors. Your book should contain words like "repay the life-saving favor with a spring of water", "reborn as a parent", and "repay the kindness with gratitude". I wonder if you have passed them on to your son.

Now his lifesaver needs your help, and you are so afraid of death. I don't know if you are worthy of your title of Imperial Master. I don't know if you will feel ashamed when you think about it in the future!"

"Moreover, Master He, your method may be able to keep your son safe for a while, but as long as the secret guards are still there, can you guarantee that your son will be safe forever?"

After hearing Yan Qing's words, Master He's body stiffened.

He remembered what he had said when he taught the emperor and his son, and the determined looks on their faces when they said they would never be cowards in the future.

Knowing how to repay kindness is also the first thing he taught his children when they were educated.

When he was young, like his best friend, he had a pure heart and once proposed to abolish the secret guards.

But after his good friend left, he seemed to be afraid and never mentioned the matter to the emperor again.

He now has lost all of the awe-inspiring demeanor he had back then, and has also forgotten his original intention of becoming the Emperor's teacher.

In this state, how can he face his children, grandchildren and future generations to admire him, and how can he face his old friends in the underground world.

Master He's expression gradually calmed down, and his eyes gradually became clear.

He raised his head and looked at Yan Qing, smiled guiltily, and said: "This young friend's words are like enlightenment. I was confused just now. I couldn't see the seriousness of the matter involving my son. Please forgive me."

Seeing him like this, Yan Qing's expression also eased a lot, and she smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand how you feel. Master He, have you thought it through and are willing to come forward?"

Master He lowered his head, sighed, and said, "It doesn't matter to me what happens to me. I have lived enough at this age, but my son is still so young!"

He looked up at Yan Qing and pleaded, "Can you keep my son safe?"

Seeing that Master He agreed to come forward, Yan Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Our prince has already thought about it. General He will never have any worries about his life. It's just that the prince wants you to do everything sincerely, so that you can remain calm when facing the wrath of heaven."

"Really?" Master He nodded. "That's good! Prince Su, please rest assured that I will not bring shame to my children and grandchildren."

As he said this, he looked at Yan Qing and smiled, his eyes full of approval.

Yan Qing touched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go and tell the prince that we will pick up Master He and General He before the hour of Yin tomorrow!"

Master He nodded.

When Yan Qing went out, a sigh was heard behind him.

"Youth is a formidable thing! I am really old!"

Yan Qing returned to Furong Pavilion and conveyed Master He's original words to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu leaned on the soft pillow, flipping through the book under the light, lowered his eyes and chuckled, "His title of Imperial Teacher is not out of thin air, it's just that when it comes to his own affairs, even the calmest person will sometimes not see clearly!"

"However, you are rare. I didn't expect that your insights could be so profound. It's really rare!" Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qing with a chuckle.

Yan Qing smiled and said, "My insights have always been extraordinary, but you just haven't discovered it."

Yun Ting, who was standing by, looked at Yan Qing and sneered, "The prince just praised you casually, and you almost don't know your own name!"

"The prince didn't praise you!"

Yan Qing fought back with an unceremonious smile.

Xiao Yu looked at the two of them, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Ji Tang drove the carriage, found a forest sheltered from the wind, and drove the carriage inside.

Su Lingyue got out of the car and looked at the woods. It wasn't too dense, but could block the wind, so she thought it was okay.

Several people started to make a fire on the spot.

Before she left, the queen left behind two quilts, some cakes and water, so they didn't have to worry about going hungry at night.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat around the fire, and Su Lingyue told them about tomorrow's plan.

When it was time to go to bed, since they were outdoors and needed to take turns keeping watch, Ji Tang insisted that he do it.

But among the four of them, only he had better skills in driving the carriage, and he was required to drive the carriage during the day.

After discussion, they decided that Ji Tang would stay until midnight, while Su Lingyue and Caidie Caiyi would stay until dawn.

After all, they can sleep in the carriage during the day, but Ji Tang can't.

After getting on the carriage, Caidie Caiyi began to spread the quilt.

Caiyi looked at the quilt and frowned, "He must be very cold outside alone. Miss, how about we three share one quilt and give the other to her?"

Su Lingyue nodded and chuckled, "You are still careful. Give it to him."

Caiyi opened the door, got off the carriage and handed the quilt to Ji Tang.

Su Lingyue was just about to give Ji Tang some instructions, but she saw Cai Yi, who looked shy, and Ji Tang, who was smiling, in the light of the fire.

Caiyi covered Ji Tang with the quilt, and Ji Tang held Caiyi's hand and spoke to her lovingly.

Su Lingyue pulled Caidie over to look at the situation outside and asked curiously, "When did this start?"

Caidie thought for a moment and said, "They often do this. My sister didn't let me tell Miss. When my sister broke her finger, he went to see her every day. I guess it started from then."

Su Lingyue lowered the car curtain, pulled back the curious baby Caidie, and said with a smile: "Caidie, are you happy that Ji Tang is your brother-in-law?"

Caidie nodded and said excitedly: "Of course I'm happy, he's a nice guy, and his kung fu is so good. If he becomes my brother-in-law, he can protect us!"

Su Lingyue looked at Caidie and said with a smile, "Okay! It's decided. How about letting them get married after returning from Longhua Temple!"

Caidie nodded continuously, "Okay! Okay! Sister will definitely be very happy!"

The two smiled at each other, and Su Lingyue made a gesture to Caidie to keep quiet, "Don't tell her, we will give her a surprise later!"

"Okay!" Caidie smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into two crescents.
