Chang'an Ferry

"Your Highness, we are here"

"Hmm..." Li Shengye came out holding Mu Yuying in his arms, and the doorman who was guarding the door hurried forward.

"His Royal Highness" and then saw Mu Yanying who was holding her in his arms, "Third Young Master, please hurry up, Your Highness"

Jiang Ning heard the news and came out "His Royal Highness"

"Well, Yanying is drunk, I'll take him back," Li Shengye said.

"Well, thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Ning nodded, "Dingyang, come and support Yanying."

"It's okay, I'll take him back to his room"

"Alright, please, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Mu Dingyang made a gesture of invitation, "Mother, please go back quickly, I will take care of Yan Ying"

"Alright, then you go!" Jiang Ning nodded, and when the person walked away, Jiang Ning changed his face, "Where are the people who are with the young master?"

"I'm back." Qingfeng looked at Qingshu who ran in from the outside.

"Madam" Qing Shu didn't dare to breathe, and lowered his head.

Jiang Ning slapped him, "You don't follow the son well, since you have forgotten your identity, I can't keep you in the Mu family."

"Ma'am, Qingshu knows his mistake" Qingshu quickly knelt down.

Jiang Ning looked at Qingshu. As far as the dark guard was concerned, Mu Yingying was taken away by Li Shengye. Although Jiang Ning didn't know why the two had differences, since they didn't communicate, there must be a reason for it. If something happened, take a deep breath, "This time you are negligent, so you go and kneel in Yanying's yard, and when he wakes up, Yanying will deal with you"

"Yes" Qing Shu kowtowed and ran towards the yard.

"Thank you Your Highness this time." Mu Dingyang saluted with fists in his hands.

Li Shengye shook his head, "It's okay, the person has been delivered to me, so I'm leaving, goodbye"

"I will send His Highness"

"No, you take care of Yan Ying." When he went out and saw Qing Shu kneeling in the yard, he passed him by without changing his expression.

In the Prince's Mansion, Li Shengye opened the sachet and took out a bunch of hair from it, then picked up the scissors, cut a bunch of his own hair and tied them together, then put them back in and tied them around his waist.

"You said the prince sent me back?" Mu Yanying scratched her hair.

"Yes" Qing Shu knelt on the ground

Mu Yanying glanced at him, "Okay, get up! I can't blame you for this, I drank the wine myself"

Qingshu blamed himself and said, "If Qingshu has been with the young master all the time"

"Okay, don't talk about it, it sounds like I don't know what's wrong with me." Mu Yanying rolled over and got off the bed, "Does uncle know about this?"

"I know, let you wake up and go to the palace," Qing Shu said.

"Oh." Mu Yanying nodded, "Go get me some clothes."

"Yes" Qing Shu got up in a jerk, took out the clothes from the closet, "Young Master, come"

Before arriving at Ziji Palace, Mu Yanying saw Imperial Physician Wen coming out of Ziji Palace carrying a medicine box, "My lord, why don't you leave?"

"Oh, let's go!"

The emperor still stood leisurely by the pond feeding the fish, "Here?"

"Uncle!" Then he looked carefully at the emperor's face, "During this time, I saw Imperial Doctor Wen come several times..."

The emperor stroked his beard, "What's so strange about this? He comes here often. Your aunt likes to study all kinds of food, and the Tai Hospital has experience in this field. Come here to exchange ideas."

After finishing speaking, the queen came out with a plate of snacks, "The time is just right, An An, come and eat while it's hot."

"Um"

"This is newly made, is it delicious?" the queen asked.

Mu Yanying nodded, "It's delicious, it's not enough for me at all"

Queen Yile "You child, you are greedy"

"Since he likes it, you can go and bring out another plate." The emperor said so, and the queen naturally knew that the emperor had something to say to Mu Yanying alone, so she turned and went to the small kitchen.

"Uncle, what do you want to say?"

The emperor put his hands behind his back, "What do you think of where you have been to Shu?"

"The land of Shu is very beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, and the people there are also simple." Mu Yanying didn't know why the emperor asked this.

The emperor shook his head, "I'm talking about the terrain there, but is it easy to defend but difficult to attack?"

How do you ask this?Mu Yuying thought for a while and said, "Yes, the several main roads leading to the Shu land are all difficult terrain, and they are all places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to cross the mountains, it will be even more difficult. The terrain and the plains allow the people to be completely self-sufficient, and at least for a few years they will not be afraid of food and water shortages.”

The emperor nodded.

Mu Yanying was a little puzzled, "Why does uncle ask such a question?"

"I haven't been there yet, I just want to ask you," said the emperor.

Mu Yingying thought for a while and said, "Uncle, you can go and have a look in the future. By the way, the hot pot I brought back earlier is delicious! Where there are more tricks, uncle, we will go together when the time comes"

"Okay" the emperor tapped Mu Yanying's forehead, "Let's go together, by the way, why did you drink on the day Lin Chen got married?"

"Happy"

"Happy, hum, just drink, don't care about your drinking capacity, and don't worry about being betrayed," the emperor snorted angrily.

"would not"

"Speaking of which, those servants around you should have a better life, and leave their posts one by one." The emperor was a little angry.

Mu Yanying hurriedly pleaded, "Uncle, I sent them away. Don't worry, they already know their mistake."

"Oh, blame me and your aunt for raising you too gently..." The emperor's eyes were long.

"It's good, didn't the imperial physician say that? I want to keep my mood calm and not be too irritable." Mu Yanying said flatteringly

The emperor had no choice but to call him a child of his own. "Okay, I won't hold them accountable, but I won't drink any more in the future."

"Understood." Mu Yanying raised her hand to swear, and the emperor quickly grabbed her hand, "Don't swear indiscriminately."

"What are you doing again?" The queen brought out several plates this time. "Come on, these taste different."

"coming"

……

"Aying, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a conflict with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Chen came here to apologize to Mu Yanying

"It's okay, it's nothing." Mu Yanying shook her head.

Lin Chen suddenly came over, "Why is there a contradiction, what is the reason?"

"It's just that he's not pleasing to the eye, and I don't want to have anything to do with him," Mu Yanying said rather coldly.

Lin Chen was a little disappointed, "That's it! But Ah Ying will be the emperor in the future, if you have conflicts with him"

Mu Yanying felt a little uneasy.

"Aying, what are you thinking?" Lin Chen didn't understand why Mu Yanying was in a daze suddenly.

"No, it's nothing." Mu Yanying shook her head, "You come to me to make amends, how do you plan to make amends?"

"Let's go out to play! Go hunting in the suburbs," Lin Chen said.

Hunting, Mu Yanying frowned, "It's such a hot day!"

"No, it's cool in the mountains. Don't you think your Majesty and the others go there every year?"

"They are the Summer Resort," Mu Yanying couldn't help reminding.

Lin Chen exclaimed, "Aren't they all very close to each other, let's go, let's go together!"

"Okay" I haven't been there for many years anyway.

As soon as the summer came, the emperor took his ministers to live in the summer resort. Mu Yanying greeted her family and went to the mountains with Lin Chen and his wife.

"My lord, wipe some of this mosquito repellent." Qing Shu opened a small box, and stretched out his hand to Mu Yanying to wipe it.

Lin Chen also rubbed it on Xiaobai and then on himself, "Fortunately Ah Ying brought these mosquito repellents, otherwise how many packs would be bitten?"

Mu Yanying sighed, "You said you were apologizing, but I don't see it at all, it's more like asking me to play with you"

"No, we are playing together," Lin Chen said hastily.

Mu Yanying shook her head, carrying her quiver and holding a bow and arrow, "Let's go! Since I came to hunt, I can't return empty-handed." Chu Ping hurriedly followed, and Qingshu led the horse and walked behind.

"I hit it!" Lin Chen applauded, "Aying, your archery skills haven't deteriorated at all!"

Mu Yanying smiled slightly, her eyes moved and she quickly opened her bow to hit a fleeing hare, "Daddy said, you can't let it go down on weekdays."

"Sure enough, it's the queen of the gate," Lin Chen sighed, "But we can't leave too much behind, or we'll be hungry when we go back." After saying that, he and Xiaobai walked forward.

Qing Shu picked up the prey, pulled out the arrow and put it in the basket, "Young Master, come on!"

"No, there are quite a few of them, enough to eat." Mu Yanying shook her head, but she didn't let go of the arrow in her hand. After all, who knows if something will come out of nowhere in the mountains.

In the end, Lin Chen also hunted a few pheasants and hares. After all, this place is very close to the Summer Resort, and Habayashi guards often come to patrol, so there are no big animals, only some chickens and rabbits, but Lin Chen is still very satisfied. , go back and bake it"

As soon as I arrived at the Summer Resort, I felt something was wrong. The number of Habayashi guards on patrol increased several times compared to before, and even the court ladies who came and went were in a hurry. Mu Yanying and Lin Chen looked at each other, "Aying, I will be with you."

"No, you and Xiaobai go back first, I'll go by myself" After saying that, Mu Yuying ran towards the villa. The Habayashi guard at the door didn't stop her. Mu Yuying breathed a sigh of relief and saw Qingfeng standing by the pillar, "Aunt Qingfeng "

"Your Majesty fainted," Qingfeng said hastily.

"What?" Suddenly Mu Yingying's expression changed and she quickly ran to the emperor's courtyard.

As soon as Li Shengye came out of the house, he saw Mu Yanying running over, and quickly grabbed him, "Father is fine."

"Thank you" and continued to run in, "Uncle!"

The emperor was leaning on the soft pillow, and the queen was feeding medicine with a bowl, "An'an is back, how many prey did you catch?"

The emperor's words made Mu Yanying burst into tears, and ran to hug the emperor's waist, "Uncle, you scared me to death!"

Touching the head buried in the chest, "It's okay, my uncle is just getting old and useless!"

"No, my uncle is young." Mu Yanying sat down and wiped the corners of her eyes.

The emperor asked the empress to come over with a handkerchief, "Look, red eyes are like rabbits!"

"Uncle, what's the matter with you? Why did you faint so well!" Mu Yanying didn't believe the emperor's reason for getting old.

The emperor smiled, "Birth, old age, sickness and death always happen like this, besides, am I okay now?" Seeing the tears in Mu Yanying's eyes, the emperor felt sore, "Don't cry"

"Don't cry." Mu Yanying shook her head, tears still falling down.

The queen also wiped tears beside her, "Tell An An..."

"That's right." The emperor nodded, "I said, don't cry anymore, or my uncle will be angry."

Mu Yanying nodded, and then continued to bury her head on the emperor's waist. The emperor smiled helplessly, "When my uncle was young, he fought against Di Yi on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, the opponent put medicine on the arrow, although the doctor tried his best to detoxify it later. , but there are still some remnants, and I can't hold it back when I get older." The emperor recounted the most thrilling thing in the most peaceful tone.

"Then what should we do?" Mu Yanying grabbed the emperor's hand.

The emperor had nothing to say, and said lightly, "Doctor Wen has read the classics these years, and you, Mr. Ji, have also visited doctors from all over the world, and they all said that it is the best policy to recuperate slowly." Then he paused and continued, "But my own situation is my own. I'm clear, I just can't worry about you"

"But..." Mu Yanying looked at the emperor's pale lips, "There must be a way."

"Well, there will be," said the emperor with a smile.

The emperor's fainting was not concealed, but the ministers were not too alarmed. After all, the crown prince had already been established, but everyone kept a much lower profile than usual.

"Yingying, you're back." Seeing Mu Yingying, Jiang Ning stepped forward and asked, "Is your majesty all right?"

"Yeah." Mu Yanying nodded.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Go and rest!"

"En." Mu Yanying nodded, and walked tiredly to her room.

With this fainting, the emperor's spirit became weaker and weaker, and the imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital stayed by his side every day.

"An'an, don't stay by my side, I'm fine." The emperor lay on the bed

Mu Yanying shook her head, "No, my aunt said that my uncle doesn't drink medicine these days, so I want to guard you and watch you drink."

The emperor wanted to laugh but couldn't help coughing a few times, and quickly raised his hand to block Mu Yanying who was about to help with the handkerchief, "Don't come here" and threw the discarded handkerchief into the basin next to him.

"Uncle"

Mu Yanying looked pitiful, the emperor raised his hand and tapped his nose, "You are not in good health, don't touch these things"

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine." The queen came in with the medicine, and could smell a bitter smell from a distance. The emperor frowned but looked at Mu Yanying next to him, and sighed in his heart, "Give it to me!"

After drinking, Mu Yanying motioned for him to bring one of the candied fruit on the table, "Emperor Wen said, you can't eat it"

"Oh, I'm not obedient at all." The emperor shook his head, and the queen smiled slightly, "An'an is also for your own good."

"I know" the emperor finally relieved the pain, "this medicine is getting more bitter every day."

Hearing what the emperor said, the queen and Mu Yuying felt stagnant. "It's the reason why my uncle doesn't want to drink the medicine!" Mu Yingying said with a smile.

"Well, yes" the emperor nodded, and fell asleep after drinking the medicine.

"An'an, go back and have a rest! You've lost weight all this time," the queen said softly.

Mu Yanying shook her head, "Auntie is going to rest, Auntie's complexion looks so bad." The queen seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden during this time.

The queen looked at the emperor, "If it wasn't for me, your uncle wouldn't have been hurt by an arrow in the back"

"It's all the fault of those Di Yi, they are too despicable," Mu Yingying said.

The queen shook her head, "Although they are despicable, what is even more hated is the killing of brothers."

"Brotherhood? Auntie, is there something hidden in this?" Mu Yanying asked suspiciously.
