When Zhong Li saw the contents of the letter, her heart sank unconsciously.

Could it be Pei Xing?

Zhong Li couldn't be sure. After all, in previous years, people would vigorously search for Shenyi Xue's whereabouts for the sake of his relatives.

In the capital, Pei Xing finally moved to the palace.

After all, a country cannot live without a ruler.

King An was executed for treason, and the news of the beheading of the saint today has spread not only to Guangxi, but also to the surrounding small countries.

While the other small countries were still watching, the Tartars were the first to attack the frontiers of the Great Jin. Fortunately, the general who defended the city was a brave and good warrior. After several days of desperate struggles, he successfully drove him away. Although the Great Jin was temporary. Victory was achieved, but many soldiers were damaged in this battle, and food and forage were almost exhausted.

The secret messages for help were sent to the capital one by one. The news of the Tartar invasion was a blow to the ministers. Those arrogant civil servants were especially worried about the future of the Jin Dynasty. The Tartars controlled the desert and grassland areas. If they broke the northern defense line, the next step would be to attack the capital. , This civil war has damaged a lot of troops and horses. If other countries invade together, under internal and external troubles, Dajin may usher in a catastrophe.

Those with a long-term vision, remembering the scene of the people being displaced during the war, were so worried that they couldn't sleep. After realizing that the third prince could not stand up, they had to focus on Pei Xing.

Several ministers gathered to discuss again and again, and went to Zhenbei Hou's mansion together, but they couldn't afford to kneel, and begged Pei Xing to ascend to the throne as soon as possible. He is probably the only emperor in history who was begged by his ministers to be enthroned after he rebelled.

Pei Xing was not interested in being the emperor, but he also didn't want someone to ride on his head. Seeing that the Tartar dared to attack, his eyes were so cold, considering that he could give Zhong Li supreme respect when he became emperor. Rong and Pei Xingcai entered the palace at the request of the ministers. He immediately let Qin Xing lead his troops to the north.

Qin Xing can follow Pei Xing, naturally he is not an unknown person. He is nearly ten years older than Pei Xing. He is the confidant chosen by King Han for Pei Xing. Commanding an army of 100,000 people, Qin Xing was also obsessed with the art of war and martial arts. If it wasn't for defending Pei Xing to the death, he would have gone to the battlefield to shine.

This expedition was very much in line with his heart. He took the will and went to the north to find Zhong Li, and he handed it over to Luo Yu.

The enthronement ceremony was held in April. Pei Xing has always been impatient, and the red tape has been saved again and again. The enthronement ceremony has also become very simple. He has abolished most of the rules handed down by the ancestors. However, Pei Xing's attitude was very strong, and he didn't listen to the advice of the ministers at all. The ministers were so angry that they were blowing their beards and staring at his reckless actions. The stall doesn't work.

Although he was a bit of a jerk, he had nothing to say about his strength. The mess of the Tartar invasion also needed him to deal with the aftermath, so the ministers naturally forbeared in every possible way.

After he ascended the throne, he carried out drastic reforms. The days of the previous court changed from once every three days to once every five days. The time for the court meeting was also more than an hour late. In the past, ministers would wait outside the Meridian Gate. At the time of the court, some ministers could not even sleep for an hour. This reform is beneficial to everyone's rest, and the ministers did not persuade them any more.

In mid-April, news from Hangzhou was sent back to the capital. The secret guards arrested all those who had visited Mother Xue's grave and returned to the Xue family's old house. After 27 people were arrested by mistake, they finally caught Xue. The genius doctor, now the dark guard is escorting the genius doctor Xue back to Beijing.

In addition to this good news, the Dark Guard also noticed something was wrong with the "little traders". After interrogation, he learned that they were all from Guangxi. Although the news revealed by the guard had nothing to do with Zhong Li, out of caution, the guard sent a letter to the capital to wait for Pei Xing's ruling.

When Pei Xing saw the news, he couldn't help but squeeze the letter, and his heart beat a little faster. He immediately sent people back to Hangzhou, and asked them to divide a team and rush to Guangxi at the fastest speed, while the other team escorted Shenyi Xue to the capital.

Zhong Li was not without precautions. She asked the guards to report the whereabouts of Doctor Xue every day, whether there was news or not. Something went wrong.

She took the time to ask the maid to clean up and salute, and then she came over to look at Cheng'er. Cheng'er sensed something sensitively and couldn't help blinking, "Sister, do we have to go?"

He asked cautiously.

Seeing his expression, Zhong Li's expression paused for a while, she sat down on the golden silk sandalwood chair, and circled Cheng'er's small body in front of her, "Don't you want to leave Cheng'er?"

Cheng'er nodded and shook her head, her brows furrowed, and she said in a milky voice, "It's okay to walk, but what about my pineapple and lychee?"

They have planted lychees and pineapples in the courtyard, which are about to ripen, and Chenger takes a look at them almost every day.

Seeing that the little guy was all about food, Zhong Li breathed a sigh of relief. She said: "Then let's go to a place with more fruits, shall we? There will also be pineapples and lychees. If Cheng'er still has a request, just mention it, and my sister will work hard to help you achieve it, okay?"

Only then did a small smile appear on Cheng'er's face, and she nodded happily, "Cheng'er misses Mother Zhang and grandmother. Is it okay for my sister to let them come over?"

When Zhong Li heard this, she couldn't help but be startled. This is not the first time Cheng'er has mentioned them. Whether it is Zhang's mother or the old lady, they have an extraordinary position in Cheng'er's heart, but Zhang's mother is old and not suitable for long distances. During the trek, the old lady naturally couldn't come.

Zhong Li felt a little sour in her heart, "Do you miss them very much?"

Cheng'er nodded heavily, stretched out her small hand and made a big circle, "Think so!"

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not enough, and he gestured again, "No, no, it's more than this! It's a lot, it's fun here, let them play too."
