When Xu mama heard this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "That's right, Imperial Concubine's departure has finally awakened the emperor. The prince's favor is even greater, and the other princes absolutely cannot match. "Now that the emperor has lost his mind and is ill, there's no need for you to care about the mistakes you made when you were young …"

What he said was the truth, right and wrong, there was nothing left to say after the death of the emperor.

However, today's fatherly and filial son was built on the foundation of Imperial Concubine Min committing suicide. Even if Shen Lingjue did not hate the emperor, he would still feel resentment in his heart.

Shen Lingjue solemnly nodded his head. His heart was stuck, unable to speak.

Xu mama said worriedly, "Prince, don't be disturbed by these past events. Right now, all of you have to grit your teeth and take on all sorts of dangerous situations. You have to think of all the benefits in order to be able to easily enter the fray."

Feng Ning Yan grabbed Senior Servant Xu's arm and said in a low voice, "Senior Servant, don't worry. With me here, nothing will happen to him." "Just be at ease and wait for our triumphant return from the Dragon's Teeth."

Xu mama nodded her head in satisfaction. She knew that they were going back to Ningnan again. Although she was reluctant, she couldn't ask them to stay either. She could only take out a small stomach protection from her embroidery basket and give it to Feng Ning Yan.

Embarrassed, Feng Ningyan quickly pushed it away.

However, Xu mama said sincerely, "Although the mountains and rivers are more important, the heir is more important. The Emperor only has three princes, and our princes and Prince Cheng are already married. In the future, who can be the husband of the young prince? This is an important condition for the succession to the throne. "Princess, you can't not take it to heart."

Feng Ning Yan's face reddened. She could only put away her bright red, sleek, and small breasts before blushing and nodding her head.

"I'll remember. Don't worry, mama …"

Xu mama watched the two of them leave reluctantly. She knew that once they parted ways and war broke out in the south, it would be hard to say when they would meet again. She could only pray for their safety in her heart.

Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue spent three days in the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion. During these three days, they didn't stay idle and had already prepared to leave for Ningnan County with their carriages and luggage, preparing to follow their master south.

However, Shen Ling Jue didn't let Jing Qi and Chu Zhao follow him. He and Feng Ning Yan were both dressed in simple attire, and it was easy to disguise themselves, travel quickly, and also hide themselves from others' eyes and ears.

"Jing Qi, Chu Zhao, Ah Yao, you will be in charge of contacting the Pavilion of Interpretation." This King and Princess Wangfei are not in the capital, so you guys need to have a clear grasp of all the movements in the court. In addition to finding Pei Shi and the assassin's guild backing him, the Hall of Interpretation must cooperate with the Ministry of Justice's investigation officials in anonymously reporting the authenticity of the information, especially not allowing the Crown Prince's Yu Party and the Cheng Wang Party to take advantage of the loopholes and take advantage of Yu Su. "

After giving out instructions, Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan mounted their horses and galloped towards the city gates.

Outside the eastern city gates, the city guards had long since hastily made way for them when they saw King Yu and the wangfei arriving.

After what happened last time Feng Ningyan blinded field officer Li, these people didn't even dare to request for an inspection of the command token.

After exiting the city, he heard someone chasing after him from behind. "Brother King Yu, please wait a moment."

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan turned to look, it was Shen Yu Su.

Yu Su dismounted from his horse and ran over with a whip in his hand.

"I know that Brother Wang and Sister Wang are leaving the capital today, and that Yu Su has come to send you off."

The three of them walked to the side of the road. Shen Ling patted Shen Yu Su's shoulder and said, "We are not in the capital. You have to be careful, and discuss matters with the Assistant Minister, be on your guard against Prince Cheng."

Shen Yu Su nodded her head: "Brother Wang and Aunt Wang are going to the Frontier Trial. It's much more dangerous than staying in the palace. You must take care of yourselves."

Since their time was limited, the three of them were unable to continue speaking. Shen Yu Su then poured wine for the two of them and carried out their farewell at the city gate.

After finishing their wine, Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan looked back at the tall city gate, turned around and shouted "Jia!" before leaving on their horses.

The two were extremely skilled horsemen, and their mounts were one in a million. They set off in the morning and by night, they were already two hundred miles away from the capital.

In order to get to the Southern County as soon as possible, they only ate lunch at the Hundred Miles Town along the way. After packing some dry food and water, they continued on their journey.

By midnight, the horses were too exhausted to move at a much slower pace.

Feng Ning Yan touched the horse's mane, feeling the pain in her heart. She looked around at the black hills and asked, "Your Highness, where are we?"

The darkness of the night and the mountain range had been blended into a pitch-black color, making it hard to distinguish between the two. Shen Ling Jue could only judge based on his memories.

"This mountain range should be the White-headed Mountain in the north of Xiangnan City. We will reach Xiangnan City after twenty to thirty miles."

As he said that, he flipped himself off the horse, holding onto Feng Ningyan's hand, and carried her off the horse.

Feng Ningyan found it funny. She wasn't a beginner who couldn't ride a horse, so she needed someone to help her dismount? If the soldiers of the Southern Ning Army saw this, they would really laugh at her hypocrisy.

However, since no one else was around, she rather enjoyed the feeling of being doted on and cared for.

Shen Ling Jue took out his waterskin, pulled out a cork and gave it to Feng Ning Yan. He looked around and said, "We won't be opening the city gates until morning in Xuannan City. We might as well find a place to rest for the night and pass through the city gates by daybreak. so that the horses can rest. "

"Sure." Feng Ning Yan drank a mouthful of water and returned the water bag to Shen Ling Jue. The two of them led the horse forward along a path that was filled with dense forest.

After walking for an incense stick's worth of time, the trees on the side of the road gradually became sparse and low. Ahead of them was a small stream that meandered eastward from the edge of the forest.

The place was flat and open, with streams running in it. It was a good place to rest and drink.

The two of them then led the horse downstream to let it drink water and graze.

Shen Ling Jue crossed over a few clumps of shrubs and walked into the forest, his eyes sweeping the surroundings.

Feng Ningyan asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?"

This black paint, how could he see anything?

Shen Ling Jue smiled lightly and suddenly threw away the pebble he picked up by the stream.

The only sound that could be heard was the chirping of the birds. The trees immediately began to rustle with the sound of flapping wings. The originally sleeping birds in the forest were all startled into flying away.

Shen Ling Jue's hands hit the pebbles, followed by two more hissing sounds before the three turtles fell onto the ground with a "pa da" sound.

Only then did Feng Ningyan realize that he wasn't looking just now, but rather listening to where the flock of birds was resting.

Shen Ling Jue jumped over the bush, scooped up three turtles, held them in his hands, and flipped his arms in the air. He landed in front of Feng Ning Yan with an enchanting smile on his face.

"There's food, how do you want to eat it?"

Feng Ning Yan looked at the three fat turtles, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Of course I'm roasting it!"

The fatigue from the journey disappeared without a trace. With renewed vigor, they killed the birds and plucked their feathers. After washing themselves clean, they used a few stones to form a bonfire. Then, they set the turtledove on top of the fire to roast it.

Feng Ning Yan hadn't eaten such wild delicacies for a long time.

She leaned her head against Shen Lingjue's shoulder, smelling the aroma of the barbecue, listening to the crackling of the firewood, and gazing at the bright moon in the western sky. From beginning to end, her face was filled with a blissful smile.

After the turtledove was roasted, Shen Lingjue passed the branch of the whole turtledove to Feng Ning Yan, "Come try out your husband's unique skill, it's fresh, fragrant, plump, and grilled birds."

"Haha …" Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but laugh, "What charcoal roasted birds? They were clearly saltless turtles … "It's a pity that we forgot to bring our wine.

Shen Ling Jue smiled, turned around and walked beside the BMW, taking out a bottle of rice wine the size of a fist from his luggage, turning around and throwing it to Feng Ning Yan.

Feng Ning Yan caught it and looked at it. "Aiya, this is the new rice wine from the inn in Hundred Miles Town. You actually secretly brought a bottle with you on the road?"

Shen Ling Jue sat down beside her and turned the other turtledove on the grill. He looked at her bright eyes and said, "When we were at Hundred Miles Town, you were afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble. It wasn't fun. I was afraid you'd miss that smell on the way, so I brought a bottle. "

As he spoke, he took her in his arms and smiled, "Your husband is so considerate, how can your wife repay your gratitude?"
