On the night of the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, it snowed heavily in the capital. Before dawn the next day, many soldiers were carrying brooms and shovels to remove the snow at the east gate of the capital. Many people also joined in and cleaned the roads entering and leaving the city.

People said: "Your Highness Ninth and Princess Imperial will come back before the New Year. It's time to come today. Let's sweep a little longer and don't let Your Highness Ninth's car slide."

So, everyone silently picked up the tools and swept the official road outside the city for a while.

Hurry up and rushed, Xuan Tianming and his wife finally returned to the capital on the morning of the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The people and the soldiers saw a carriage coming quickly towards this side from a distance. Some soldiers were sharp-eyed and recognized Bai Ze who was driving the car at a glance, so they cheered loudly: "Your Highness Nine is back! Princess Imperial is back!"

When people heard this news, they were immediately excited, and they waved their arms to the carriage, shouting constantly: "Your Highness Nine! Princess Imperial! Welcome back to the capital!" After that, they knelt on the ground, some kowtowed, some clapped, and some wiped their tears.

Soon, just as tears could be contagious, more and more people started to cry, crying loudly, so that the carriage was still a distance away from the city gate, and the people in the carriage heard the movement outside.

Bai Ze half-turned and said to the people in the car, "There are many people going out to greet him, but they are all crying and wearing plain clothes." After pausing again, he analyzed himself: "It should be still mourning the Seventh Prince, right? Didn't the news that came along the way also said that the people of Kyoto mourn the Seventh Prince spontaneously? But I didn't expect that tomorrow is the Great Day, and people are still unwilling to stop."

Feng Yuheng got up, walked to the car and lifted the curtain. The cold wind immediately poured in, making tears in her eyes. But she couldn't tell whether the tears were blowing from the cold wind or whether she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She just looked at the people kneeling on the ground and her nose was very sour.

"The Seventh Brother can have such a great influence in the Kyoto of Zongsui, let alone our own territory. Along the way, we saw many people in the provincial government wearing plain clothes. I think that the news that the Seventh Prince was bombed to death outside Tongcheng has spread throughout Dashun, right?" She felt a little worried in her heart, for Concubine Yun, Emperor Tianwu, and for Xiangrong. "The news came that my grandfather passed away and Xiangrong came back to attend the funeral. The news that came back last time said that she fell ill due to the Seventh Brother's affairs, and I don't know how that girl is doing now. I am really afraid that she will get stuck. If she is hurt by the Seventh Brother's affairs, how should I help her?"

Xuan Tianming was also helpless. The last time he received the news was ten days ago. Because he was about to return to Beijing, he did not ask for another visit. It seemed that Feng Xiangrong was seriously ill, but he did not mention the seriousness of the method. He could only persuade Feng Yuheng, "The left and right have already arrived at the city gate. You will know when you go back and take a look."

She sat back into the carriage and said to Wangchuan and Huang Quan: "You go outside and say hello to the people! If they ask about Brother Qi, I really don't know how to deal with it."

The two girls left the carriage as they said. She could hear the two standing in the carriage and talking to the people and the soldiers guarding the city. Regarding the question about Xuan Tianhua, she heard Wangchuan say this: "If you want a prosperous country and a safe country, the hidden dangers on the border must be eliminated. This is the price that must be paid for the people's health. Have you seen behind our carriage? Duanmu Anguo, the culprit, was in the prison carriage. His Highness and the princess told the princess that he would pay for the pain in the world and then throw him into hell and never be reborn."

People's attention was successfully diverted, and all hatred was concentrated on Duanmu Anguo. Everyone knew that the thunder outside Tongcheng was buried by Duanmu Anguo, and he was the murderer who killed the Seventh Prince. Now, Duanmu Anguo is right in front of him, how can people make him good?

So everyone rushed back and tried every means to beat Duanmu Anguo in the prison car. The secret guard sent by the prison guard shouted loudly: "It's okay to beat him, but you can't beat him to death! Your Highness told the princess that death is too cheap, and he will be left to suffer!"

The sound became farther and farther away, and the carriage entered the city gate and drove quickly towards the palace.

Xuan Tianming mentioned: "I will enter the palace, you can go back to the princess's mansion first! If you want to... "

"I'll go to the palace with you." Feng Yuheng suppressed his anxiety and said, "After all, the palace is the father and mother. Whether it's for Dashun's peace or because I'm their daughter-in-law, they should take care of them first." After saying that, he said to Wangchuan Huangquan: "You two go back to the princess's mansion. No matter what happens there, tell them not to be anxious, let alone panic. I will be able to come out of the palace soon and wait for me to come back before I talk about everything."

The two girls got off the car at a fork intersection, took the prison carriage and a group of secret guards behind and returned to the princess's mansion first. Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming's carriage accelerated to the palace. They arrived at the Deyang Gate and saw Wang Zhuo who was guarding the gate and crying at them. Xuan Tianming's heart skipped a beat, "What happened." He said, "It must be something in the palace. The damn bunny guys must have not told the truth to me in the news that they were sending back. I see that I will not deal with them when I go back."

The two of them waited for a moment, and got off the carriage and hurriedly walked into the palace. Wang Zhuo followed behind and told them: "When you go to Yuehan Palace, the emperor and Concubine Yun are there. My subordinates don't know what to say about this. In short, your highness and the princess will understand everything when they arrive at Yuehan Palace."

Indeed, when they arrived at Yuehan Palace, they understood everything.

I had long heard that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming had entered the palace. Ban Zuo was kneeling in Yuehan Palace. As soon as they came in, they saw him. Feng Yuheng was puzzled, "What are you doing when you leave Ban Zuo?"

Ban walked up and said expressionlessly: "I didn't protect the Empress well, please punish me."

Feng Yuheng was stunned and wanted to ask something, but Xuan Tianming did not stop and walked forward strode forward, saying as he walked: "Get up, should I be punished? I have to talk about it after seeing my mother."

Ban Zu followed the two silently to Yun Fei's bedroom. As soon as he entered the door, he didn't even go to see the person lying on the sickbed. He saw Emperor Tianwu sitting in front of the table with a wine pot, sipped in a while, and didn't know how much he drank, and the whole hall was filled with alcohol.

Xuan Tianming frowned fiercely and came up in anger. He was about to get angry, but Feng Yuheng pulled him in time, pointed at the bedroom and whispered: "Have you noticed any difference?"

He was stunned and looked around and seemed to have changed, but there was something... Finally, he realized something was strange. Concubine Yun liked objects like crystal glass. In the past, the walls of the hall were covered with glass and the ground was inlaid with crystals, which looked very beautiful. But now, the glass crystals were actually taken away and replaced with ordinary wallpaper. The whole hall looked nothing wrong, but compared to Concubine Yun's gorgeous bedroom in the past, it was more than a little shabby.

He wondered, "Why did it happen like this?"

"It's more than that." Feng Yuheng pointed to a few tables and said, "I have given many mirrors to my mother before, and she liked them very much, saying that the mirror I gave was clearly visible to others, so she moved to Yuehan Palace and was everywhere. But look, there is no mirror here now... Xuan Tianming, you are waiting here, I'll go see my mother first."

"Why don't you let me go?" Xuan Tianming stared at the screen in front of Yun Fei's bed, and almost all his eyes could spit out fire.

Feng Yuheng held his hand and made her voice as gentle as possible. She said, "I am a woman, it's more convenient."

Xuan Tianming suppressed his anger and nodded. Feng Yuheng didn't wait any longer and quickly walked towards the bed. While walking, he heard Xuan Tianming and Emperor Tianwu behind him say coldly, "Stop drinking."

The old emperor replied to him: "You are back? Where is my Huaer?"

Her nose felt sore and she walked into the screen. Unexpectedly, what she saw was such an old concubine Yun.

Feng Yuheng didn't know how to describe her surprise. She had made the worst plan and thought that Concubine Yun had become seriously ill because of Xuan Tianhua's incident. She thought that she would not be afraid of serious illness, and that as long as she came back, there would always be a way to cure it. However, she did not expect that Concubine Yun's sadness would be expressed in this form.

She was stunned, her mind buzzing, constantly thinking about how to diagnose and treat it? Her hair was gray and her face was old... She reached forward and touched Yun Fei's wrist vein. Fortunately, the aging was just a superficial image, and the organs did not decline at the same time. This reminded her of the Bai Furong who was also aging so quickly, but it was poisoning, and someone planted a toxin into her body. She fought against that toxin for a long time, and finally suppressed it with medicine bit by bit.

However, Concubine Yun’s aging is different from Bai Furong!

She was extremely upset. If she had known that Xuan Tianhua's affairs could cause such harm to Concubine Yun and Emperor Tianwu, she would have told him the news that Xuan Tianhua was still alive with a secret letter. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.

She looked at Concubine Yun, reached out and pushed her hand slightly, and whispered: "Mother, wake up."

Concubine Yun woke up quickly. She was just aging and not sick, and her mental state did not change much. Without Feng Yuheng's support, she sat up from the bed and murmured: "How long have I been sleeping in this palace? You are back. Where is Ming'er? Go and ask me where is Lao Qi?"

"Mother's Concubine." Feng Yuheng felt sad and could hardly bear to see Concubine Yun's appearance.
