The emperor and Concubine Li left Xuzhou along the path with Xiaozhouzhou.

Lu Yan's men chased them outside the city and found that they had already taken another way to the boat to the capital.

In desperation, the third prince decided to go to the capital to find the child in person.

Aunt Zhou was depressed for two days and wanted to follow him.

But he was stopped by the third prince, "You stay here with Ling'er and them first, and wait for me to bring the child back."

Aunt Zhou shook her head, "No, I can't let you go alone, if something happens to you again, what should I do, take me with you." The

third prince held her hand, and really didn't want to take her back to the palace.

Aunt Zhou gradually calmed down, and said: "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to get into trouble, even if the emperor wants to kill you, he won't kill me, rather than letting you get into danger, it's better for me to come forward myself." Her

guess was right, if the emperor really wanted to kill her, he would have already done it when he came to Xuzhou this time, and this time he only took the child away, so there should have been a temporary change.

She has been hiding and hiding for so many years, and the two of them are finally going to have a break.

Seeing that she was so insistent, even if she insisted on not letting her go, she was afraid that she would follow, and after hesitating for a while, she had to agree to take Aunt Zhou back with her.

The two of them got into a carriage that day and left Xuzhou City under the escort of Lu Yan.

Before leaving, he specially wrote a letter to Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Bangchun.

The letter was quickly delivered to Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Bangchun five days later.

Du Bangchun opened the letter and looked at it, his face changed from joy to worry, "Ruiyuan, the emperor has come back from Xuzhou."

Zhou Ruiyuan was also happy, "It seems that this method is really useful." "

Some time ago, the emperor took Concubine Li away and said that he was going to recuperate, Du Bangchun and Zhou Ruiyuan quickly discovered that something was wrong, especially the beads left by Concubine Li on the road.

The two of them immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Zhou Ruiyuan sent someone to the Tai Hospital to inquire, only to learn that the emperor's condition had worsened and he only had the last month of life.

He secretly took Concubine Li out in the last month, and he must have discovered where Aunt Zhou went.

This time, I'm afraid I'm not ready to come back alive.

Even if the two of them rush to Xuzhou now, they can't stop the emperor from wanting to die together.

Du Bangchun had an idea, and immediately found Dr. Xu from Cheng'an County, and sent someone to Xuzhou to spread the news, saying that there was a miracle doctor in the capital who could cure the emperor's illness.

Dr. Xu's medical skills are indeed good, but it is impossible to save the emperor.

This is just a cover to trick the emperor back to the capital.

After hearing the news, the emperor thought the same as Du Bangchun, and did not fight with Zhou Damiang and the third prince again, and set off to return to Beijing overnight.

But they didn't expect that the emperor rushed back to Beijing and tied up Xiao Zhouzhou.

Zhou Ruiyuan saw the news down, and his face gradually became sad.

"The emperor regards this child as a seed, and he doesn't know what is going on now.

Du Bangchun put the letter away and burned it on the candle beside him.

"Don't worry, count the time, the emperor will arrive in the capital in two days, and we will be fine in Xiaozhouzhou.

Zhou Ruiyuan went sideways to the desk, took a pen and paper and replied to Aunt Zhou and the third prince, telling them to be careful on the road and not to make mistakes because of panic.

After the letter was written, Zhou Ruiyuan turned back to Du Bangchun and asked, "Can Dr. Xu really cure the emperor's illness?"

Du Bangchun shook his head, "No, at most, I can only let him live a few more days."

Zhou Ruiyuan had an idea, "It's okay, stabilize him first, and wait for him to return to Beijing."

Du Bangchun came to his side, a shallow smile appeared between his eyebrows, and after answering, he went to Dr. Xu's courtyard.

Dr. Xu was originally working as an idle doctor in Zhuangzi in Cheng'an County, and when he received a letter from Du Bangchun, he immediately rushed over.

When he saw Du Bangchun coming, he got up and greeted him, "Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."

Du Bangchun hurriedly helped him up and said, "Doctor Xu, don't be so polite, you still call me Du's shopkeeper."

This is the first time Dr. Xu has entered the palace, he is quite nervous, hunched over, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and responded: "Yes, shopkeeper Du."

Du Bangchun took out a small pill from his arms and said, "If the emperor sends you to see a doctor in a few days, you will give him this pill to take, and say that this pill can cure his illness."

Doctor Xu took it from her hand

, "What is this pill?" Du Bangchun explained with a smile: "This pill is a big tonic pill that I made by myself in Cheng'an County before, although it can't cure diseases, but it can make people feel comfortable temporarily and feel a hundred times more energetic."

After hearing this, Dr. Xu immediately understood what she meant, and put away the pill in his hand and put it in his arms.

After Du Bangchun explained the matter, he returned to his dormitory.

These days when the emperor is not in the palace, they are much freer than in the past, and Zhou Ruiyuan has unknowingly replaced some of the guards and eunuchs in the palace.

It took them the shortest time to turn this originally unfamiliar place into their territory.

The emperor left the capital with a mortal heart, and had no intention of coming back at all.

Now that he has suddenly returned to the palace, he naturally can't go back to the past.

Three days later, the emperor took Concubine Li and Xiao Zhouzhou back to the palace, and also announced that this Xiao Zhouzhou was his and Concubine Li's daughter.

Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Bangchun were very surprised when they heard about this.

They didn't expect the emperor to use Xiao Zhouzhou as a handle, but they really didn't expect that he would treat her as his daughter.
