What the seventh prince encountered was indeed a trivial matter.
Even when it was time to change horses at the inn, all the horses that met the inn were sick.
When crossing the bridge, I found that the bridge was broken! Another long detour is required.
We also encountered bandits robbing the caravan and came to the rescue, which naturally delayed some time.
While taking the waterway, we encountered another ship and broke the bridge, which was delayed for another two days.
Finally, there was a landslide, which blocked the road into Beijing.
So he was supposed to arrive in the capital today, but in the end he was six or seven days late!
At the end, the Seventh Prince sighed: "I also sighed at the time, aren't there no bandits in our Nalan Kingdom? Could it be that the world is in chaos and bandits have come out! It turns out that all of this is not a coincidence!"
The seventh prince glanced at the salted fish in the corner again.
Salted Fish lying on the ground: "......"
He didn't want to listen to their conversation at all!
You know, these people are not shy about discussing things in front of them, which means that they regard him as a dead person, so they don't care whether he knows their secrets!
Nuan Nuan turned the tea cup and said in a calm tone: "After seeing our whereabouts, the other party has grasped them!"
"Who could have done this?" The seventh prince thought about several names.
"The second child. The third child has not had time to arrange these things. As for the boss, this is not the boss's style of doing things!"
The Seventh Prince nodded: "I guess so! But if all this is not an accident, if these are all done by the second child, what did the boss do?..."
The more he spoke, the more frightened the Seventh Prince became: "Uncle Seventeenth, is the situation in the capital... very dangerous?!"
Nalan Jinnian nodded: "I thought you would be able to arrive in the capital today. I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
The whereabouts are exposed!
It’s been delayed for so many days!
Xiao Hei hasn't flown back yet, and he doesn't know the current situation in the capital.
Nalan Jinnian was also a little worried, worried that the emperor would be harmed before they could return!
The faces of the three of them were a little solemn!
The Seventh Prince couldn't help but ask: "How many days will it take at the earliest to get back to Beijing?"
"Six or seven days! Tomorrow we will disembark at the pier in Tianluo County, then take the land route, and arrive in Ding'an County in two or three days. We will then take a boat to Shanghe County for another day, and then take a carriage and walk for two days by land to Qinghe County."
Qinghe County is opposite the capital.
The two ends of the Qinglong River bridge have been repaired, and only a few large boats need to be connected in the middle.
The Seventh Prince made some calculations, "Would it be a day slower than taking the overland route back to Beijing? Wouldn't it be better to just take the overland route in Tianluo County?"
Taking a horse-drawn carriage directly from Tianluo County to Qinghe County is a quick four-day journey.
Go to Tianluo County, take a boat to Ding'an County, and then take a carriage to Qinghe County. It's too troublesome to go around by boat and carriage!
Nalan Jinnian nodded: "So you can go like this, after all, you are not pregnant with Liujia."
The seventh prince glanced at the warm and swollen belly.
That's right, Aunt Seventeenth is really not suitable for hurrying up!
"Then I got off the boat in Tianluo County and rode directly back to Beijing."
Nalan Jinnian nodded: "Don't be plotted by others!"
"No, if you encounter a broken bridge again, go back and I will be fired from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry!"
"I mean your life!"
Seventh Prince: "......"
The seventh prince felt a chill on his neck. Otherwise, he should follow the seventeenth uncle!
Look, he only encountered one murder along the way!

Beijing
The morning bell has just rung.
The palace gate has just been lifted.
The eldest prince's concubine and the eldest emperor's grandson carried the great emperor's grandson, whose face was darkened and his body was twitching, to the outside of the palace gate, and handed a sign to enter the palace!
Zichen Palace
After many days of treatment by three doctors from the Imperial Hospital, the emperor's eyelids moved this morning and he finally opened his eyes.
Prince An was the first to discover that the emperor had woken up!
Because the imperial doctor said that the emperor was likely to wake up last night or this morning, he and Prince Ning stayed here all night without sleeping.
He saw the emperor's eyelids move and immediately stood up: "Brother, you're awake! Doctor, doctor, come and take a look!"
Prince Ning stayed up all night and couldn't hold it any longer. He lay on the table and dozed off. Hearing the sound, he quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and ran over: "Brother Emperor!"
Eunuch Lin, who was guarding outside Zichen Palace, heard the movement inside and quickly walked in.
Amitabha, the emperor is finally awake!
The doctors all rushed to the bedside.
The emperor watched Prince An and Prince Ning move their mouths, and struggled to say a few words: "Why are you here?"
His speech was unclear, and even the emperor didn't understand what he was saying!
Prince An and Prince Ning felt a pang in their hearts when they saw that the emperor's mouth was a little crooked!
"Imperial physician!" The two of them said in unison and quickly turned to look at the imperial physician behind them!
How can it be possible with the emperor like this!
He is the current emperor!
Taiyuan Hospital's heart sank.
What he was most worried about happened!
The emperor also realized that something was wrong with him!
He was anxious and his lips moved: "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me!..."
The more the emperor spoke, the more anxious he became, but the more anxious he became, the less clear he became.
He wanted to sit up, but found that half of his body couldn't move!
The emperor became increasingly anxious.
The emperor's lips moved, but what he said was very difficult to hear clearly. However, because he repeated it many times, the people present could hear it clearly!
Prince An quickly held down the emperor's body and comforted him: "The emperor is fine. The imperial physician is here. Let the imperial physician take a look at you! He will be fine soon!"
Prince Ning also pushed the director of Taiyuan Hospital anxiously: "Look!"
The Taiyuan Hospital rushed forward to check the Emperor's pulse.
The emperor is the emperor after all. After being anxious for a while, he probably guessed what was wrong with him.
He simply closed his mouth and eyes.
I can't make any more noise!
The majesty of the emperor must not be lost!
He couldn't afford to lose this person.
Three imperial doctors were taking turns taking the Emperor's pulse.
At this time, there was crying outside.
"Father, help me! Please save my great-grandson!"
Prince An was angry: "Then what are the mother and son causing trouble?!"
Prince Ning was also annoyed. He came here every day. He had never seen them so filial before!
The emperor opened his eyes and wanted to ask something, but he didn't ask anything that came to his mind.
Outside the Zichen Palace, the two of them and their wet nurse hurriedly arrived outside the Zichen Palace, knelt down, and cried loudly: "Father, help me! Please save my great-grandson!"
The eldest grandson also shouted loudly: "Grandfather, the eldest grandson is not in good health again! We sent people to ask for the director of the Taiyuan Hospital, but he couldn't come! Please save the grandson!"
Prince Ning said to Eunuch Lin: "Eunuch Lin, go and have a look. He said that the emperor has not woken up yet and is nowhere to be seen. If you can't hire the director of the imperial hospital, please invite other imperial doctors!"
"Cha!" Eunuch Lin hurriedly walked out.
Eunuch Lin walked out, and not long after, he walked in again, with a worried look on his face: "Two princes, the grandson of the great emperor looks very bad!"
