Chapter 483

The happiest thing about Tao Zhen's return was little brother Pei. He hadn't seen him for many days. The little guy had grown a little taller, but he was still a little short compared to his peers.

But it was still edible. Mrs. Pei looked at him and sighed: "Fortunately, I have money in the past two years, otherwise..."

Without Tao Zhen, the whole family might not have enough to eat.

Little Brother Pei ignored everyone's jokes about him. He ate a bowl of braised pork, which was made from pork from Taozhen Farm. It was fat and thin, and was particularly delicious. Little Brother Pei had been poisoned by his mother's dark cuisine for several months. He ate without raising his head, wishing he could bury his head in the bowl.

Mrs. Pei was very happy. Tao Zhen had said that Pei Zhan was fine before, but she couldn't help but think too much without seeing it with her own eyes. Now that she saw Pei Zhan with her own eyes, she felt relieved.

Mrs. Pei didn't ask much about Pei Zhan's disguise. She was a smart woman and shouldn't ask. She didn't say a word and didn't cause trouble for her children. This was the only thing she could do at the moment. She also specifically warned Pei Heng. , You are not allowed to say anything to anyone about the return of your second brother.

Pei Heng pointed to his mouth and gestured for a long time. The meaning was very simple, and Tao Zhen understood it at a glance.

Pei Heng said: "My mouth is only used for eating, not for talking."

Tao Zhen laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Tao Zhen and Mrs. Pei went to the streets to buy New Year's goods. The New Year's atmosphere in Ningzhou City was very strong, with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and there were many people selling New Year's goods. Regardless of whether they had money or not, they had to buy some meat. Tao Zhen's Tai'an pigs from their farm It is very popular, delicious, cheap, and rich in oil.

One pig was sold out in a short time, and there were people collecting pigs for the water next to them. They were all villagers from Dahe Village. They set up a stall not far away, selling pig offal, and everyone who came to the vegetable market was willing to eat it hot. Serve a bowl.

Mrs. Pei sighed with emotion. This was how she and Tao Zhen came here in the first place. Thinking about it, it was like a dream.

Tao Zhen actually felt the same way, and he had been feeling this way for a long time without realizing it.

……

Beijing.

Yan Bai Qifeng and Cheng Pupu returned to the capital all the way. He went back to his house first, took a bath and changed clothes, and then went to the palace to meet the saint.

After going to Yanbei for more than a year, not only did he gain nothing, but he also made a mess. Yan Baiqi didn't need to think about it to know what the consequences would be.

The attendant said: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, there is a noble concubine."

Yan Baiqi's eyes darkened, even if the imperial concubine was there, it might not be able to calm his father's anger.

At this time, the boy outside came to report: "Your Highness, Concubine Tao is here."

Yan Baiqi said expressionlessly: "Tell her to get lost."

The boy looked embarrassed and followed, "Your Highness has something to do? Ask the concubine to come over later."

The boy ran away in a hurry.

Yan Baiqi sneered: "Do you see the difference?"

Sui never answered.

Yan Baiqi couldn't understand why Concubine Gao was dissatisfied with the smart and good-looking Tao Zhen and married her such a fool who only had things in his mind about men and women and could never figure out his priorities.

The attendant said: "The imperial concubine has her own plans. The eldest lady of the Tao family is too strong, which may not be a good thing for Your Highness."

Yan Baiqi said no more.

All said and done, it was just that his mother and concubine had no tolerance for others and demolished the bridge before they could cross the river.

He wanted to take advantage of Tao Zhen, but he couldn't tolerate her.

Outside the Xuande Hall, Yan Baiqi has been waiting for a long time. From time to time, people from the palace passed by, all of them walking in a hurry and briskly without making any sound.

After a long time, two people walked out. One was the highly respected old doctor Qin, the head of the imperial hospital, and the other was Qin Zhao, the youngest imperial doctor of the Qin family and the successor of the Qin family.

The two of them walked out, nodded to Yan Baiqi, and left.

Yan Baiqi was summoned into the main hall.

There was a charcoal fire in the hall, which was as warm as spring, and the air was filled with a faint smell of Chinese medicine. When Yan Baiqi entered the house from the cold outside, he was still a little uncomfortable.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon couch in the inner room, and the eunuch was serving him attentively and carefully. He was caught by the wind and cold and looked a little haggard, but he was still majestic, no different from a year ago.

"See you, Father." "He's back!" The emperor's voice was calm, but Yan Baiqi felt that this voice carried an indescribable majesty. He lowered his head, looked at the floor and said: "Yes, Father .”

The emperor seemed to glance at him and then asked about Yan Bei. Yan Baiqi had already prepared his speech and explained it in detail.

"My son is incompetent and I am ashamed of my father. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Yan Baiqi knelt on the ground, lowered his head, waiting for the emperor's announcement.

What surprised him, the emperor didn't seem to be too angry, he just looked somewhere, and after a long time he asked: "Where are his bones?"

Yan Baiqi reacted for a long time before he understood who he was talking about.

"The stone chamber was destroyed by those mysterious men in black, and the little emperor couldn't come out." He looked sad.

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, and finally just waved his hand to tell him to go down.

Yan Baiqi didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the hall.

As soon as he left, the emperor sneered and said: "The second brother is really cruel."

The eunuch serving on the side was so frightened that he almost flew away. The emperor's words were very serious.

The emperor seemed to be lost in some kind of memory, and after a while he said: "He was most afraid of the dark, and he never escaped until he died. That's all, it's better to die."

After a moment of silence, the emperor suddenly said: "The prince has been confined for long enough, let him come out."

...

Tao Zhen and Mrs. Pei bought a cart full of things. Part of it was for the Pei family, and the other part they wanted to send to the Li family. The exile village had been closed for a while, so life must have been difficult for them.

Huo Xing is a nice person, so he won't treat them badly, but he can only guarantee his basic life.

Mrs. Pei sighed and said, "It would be great if your Aunt Liu and the others were also free."

Tao Zhen knew this was difficult.

The freedom of the Pei family did not come for nothing. Tao Zhen won the first place in the symposium, and Pei Zhan went to Ninggu Pagoda for a while, and was later restrained by the Yanbei Palace for so long. If it weren't for her and Du Yunjian went to save people and died, and then the whole family was freed.

It is basically impossible for the Li family to get it.

The two of them went shopping, and it was getting late. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Ningzhou was so big that it could almost freeze someone to death in winter.

Over at the Exile Village, Huo Xing's cabin was lit with lights.

He stood in front of the window, looking at the dark Wolf Mountain, frowning slightly.

The Fucheng's order has been issued for so long, and it is impossible to keep these people detained. Moreover, the number of people in the Inspection Department is less than one-tenth of the villagers. If such a small number of people are not careful, the consequences will be the same as those in Shilipo.

The people in the exile village were relatively peaceful, but Huo Xing always felt uneasy.

Liu Yun came in from outside, holding a bowl of noodles that looked pretty good.

"My lord, eat something."

Huo Xing glanced at it: "Where did it come from?"

Liu Yun said: "The villagers bought it from their homes."

Huo Xing took the chopsticks, took two bites, and asked, "Do the villagers have food?"

Liu Yun rubbed his hands: "Yes, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and they are clamoring to go shopping."

The Chinese New Year is unusual, and the ordinary can be tolerated, but the Chinese New Year is a sacred event for Dashun people, and they look forward to this day every year.

Liuyun said: "We don't have enough manpower to send a large number of people out to purchase. Moreover, the things they want are miscellaneous and difficult to buy."

Huo Xing picked his face and stopped talking.
