Yang Shuang's disappearance for no reason made Li Xiuning very worried. After searching for it, she got important news from Monk Bian Yi, believing that Yang Shuang was likely to defect to Li Shimin.

But...even if you defect to Li Shimin, you don't have to play and disappear!

So Li Xiuning sent someone to the Qin Palace to inquire about the situation, but found no news. Just when Li Xiuning decided to visit him in person, he finally received a clue.

Xinyu Bookstore received an unsigned letter, with the envelope saying: "Ning Xiu personally opened!"

After Li Xiuning received the letter, she saw the familiar small calligraphy of the hairpin, and her heart finally fell.

It would be great if people are still alive!

She quickly opened the letter to read it, but never expected that the content on the letter would be a farewell.

“Miss Ning Xiu:

When you see this letter, it is very difficult for us to meet in the future. Originally, I wanted to defect to the good master, find a good future, and be able to stand calmly in front of you in the future. But I never expected that... Although the good master is talented and has bad luck, it is not the time for me to join, which makes me fall into the mud and unable to extricate myself."

"I am still in the future while I am suffering. I will write a letter to you, hoping that you will forget me. Don't look for me, so as not to get involved."

"If a great cause is accomplished, it is possible to be granted a marquis and a prime minister. If a great cause is defeated..."

"If a great cause is defeated, you will naturally be confused. Fortunately, I can meet you in this world, and I will have no regrets in this life."

"Yang Guoliu."

After reading the letter, Li Xiuning held the letter tightly.

Although the content of the letter was a farewell and no more details were disclosed, Li Xiuning could already determine that Yang Shuang's disappearance was related to the King of Qin.

The only person who can be praised by Yang Shuang as a talented man is Qin! Now the King of Qin is suppressed by the crown prince. It seems that he is thinking about his mistakes in the mansion, but Li Xiuning also understands that his younger brother will not give up.

Therefore, it is very likely that Yang Shuang will join Li Shimin and fall into Li Shimin's conspiracy and become his pawn.

The anxious Li Xiuning immediately went to the Qin Palace and met Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was confused when facing Li Xiuning's inquiry.

Yang Guo? What the hell? I have never heard of this name.

So Li Shimin said he didn't know him.

But Li Xiuning already doubted Li Shimin, so naturally he did not believe Li Shimin's words.

The two parted in a bad mood.

Next, Qin Qiong invited Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong to a banquet. This was a party. In the wine party, Yang Shuang's figure appeared in the wine party. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong did not know about this, and only regarded Yang Shuang who appeared as Qin Qiong's friend.

And this situation will naturally be seen by Li Xiuning's subordinates, and will make Li Xiuning more convinced that Yang Shuang is controlled by Li Shimin!

Next, Li Jing, Wang Gui, and Qin Qiong will make this situation more vivid. Of course, Yang Shuang is not idle either. He needs to write a few letters in advance and will give it to Li Xiuning when the time comes, which will make the relationship between Li Xiuning and Li Shimin worse and worse.

......

Before we knew it, it had been four months since Yang Shuang and others came to Chang'an. In addition, two months on the road, half a year has passed.

It's time to leave.

Early in the morning, Han Qinhu and others were busy packing their bags. Seeing the hasty energy, they seemed to be afraid that Yang Shuang would twitch her head and would not leave.

Yang Shuang did not continue to stay willfully. The situation in the Tang Dynasty was already clear, and there would be no big gains to continue to stay here. Moreover, if Li Chunfeng hides in the dark, if he falls into his hands, he may not have a chance to escape next time.

Li Jing, Qin Xianzhi, Luo Cheng and Qin Qiong continued to stay here. Even if Li Shimin really rebelled, their plan was not completed. They still had to stay in Chang'an for a while to recruit talents for Yang Shuang.

After packing up the bags, they officially set off. Yang Shuang did not ask Li Jing and others to see him off, but a few people came quietly and left quietly.

I did not encounter any trouble on the way out of the city. Everything went out of the city normally and drove east along the official road.

Seven days later, the carriages and horses had left the territory of the Tang Dynasty and entered the territory of the Sui Dynasty, which was close to Luoyang.

Han Qinhu completely relieved himself and when he arrived at his own country, his safety was guaranteed.

"Your Highness, this trip is just the way to Luoyang. Are you still going to see it?" Han Qinhu asked.

After thinking about it, Yang Shuang asked, "Why don't we go south directly to Wei State? Look at the style of the imperial capital of Wei State!"

Han Qinhu was shocked, his face wrinkled, and he said, "Your Highness, you have been out for too long. After you go back this time, I still don't know how Your Majesty gets angry. Let's leave it to the future for the trip to Wei."

"Yes, Your Highness, there will be opportunities in the future!" Zhang Xutuo also advised.

Yang Shuang joked: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go directly to Luoyang. I don't plan to stay for too long when I arrive in Luoyang, to see how the local officials are doing."

Han Qinhu was relieved.

On the third day, everyone entered Luoyang City.

Luoyang City is worthy of being the largest and most prosperous state city in the western part of the Great Sui Dynasty, with crowds of people and extremely lively.

The group entered the city and found an inn. After resting for a night, they felt exhausted from rushing to find out the character of the Luoyang governor the next day.

I originally thought I was a corrupt official, but I didn't expect it to be a good official who made the people praise him. Under his governance, Luoyang City was so prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

After asking many people, the results they got were the same, which made Yang Shuang nodded secretly.

Then, Yang Shuang appeared, went to meet local officials, encouraged everyone, and stayed for another three days before leaving Luoyang and starting to return to Kyoto.

The last time Yang Shuang left Beijing, she was divided into two groups with the escort soldiers to cover up her eyes and ears, so the escorted soldiers stayed in Luoyang. This time she returned to Kyoto, so she naturally asked these imperial guards to escort them.

The team left Luoyang and headed north, headed to Xiangzhou, Xingzhou, Hengzhou, Yizhou, and finally entered the capital.

After this trip, it took another half a month.

The weather also became cool, the autumn was clear and the air was clear and cloudless.

Three days later, the team finally drove into Kyoto City.

At this time, in front of the Ming Dynasty's Mansion, the princess Zhuge Liuli was waiting.

After waiting for a while, I finally saw the carriage, and her pretty face was filled with joy.

The carriage was parked, and Yang Shuang walked down and saw Zhuge Liuli at first sight. Seeing her longing full of lovesickness, she smiled and said gently: "Liuli, I have made you worry."

In a simple sentence, Zhuge Liuli's eyes turned red. This time the two separated for more than seven months, which was the longest time since they got married. Zhuge Liuli was worried about Yang Shuang every day, worried about whether he would be in danger, how he ate and how he lived. In addition, more than a month ago, many assassins sneaked into the royal palace, as if searching for something, which made Zhuge Liuli even more worried.

Now that she saw His Highness coming back, she felt at ease.

"Your Highness will return safely!" Zhuge Liuli said happily.

Yang Shuang put her waist on her back and accompanied her into the palace, and told her the interesting experiences along the way. As for those intrigue plots and ups and downs, she must not tell her. In Yang Shuang's heart, her princess should be happy.

The two entered the living room and chatted for a while. Zhuge Liuli said: "Your Highness's news of your return to Beijing today has been reported to Your Majesty, so your Highness should go to the palace to face the saint first!"

Yang Shuang nodded and went down to change her python robe.

Zhuge Liuli called Hong Funu and asked with a smile: "How is it like when I have been with Your Highness for so long?"

"What's going on?" Hong Fu Nu showed confusion.

Zhuge Liuli blushed slightly and said softly: "You are the only woman by your highness. You have been alone for so long, and you haven't done anything that adults do?"

When Hongfu Nu heard this, she was a little shy and said quickly: "How can you get along with me alone? There are other people. I'm talking about it. This time I go out to do a serious business, and Your Highness is also a gentleman..."

"What do you mean is that you two are innocent? Alas, I'm so happy. I hope you can hear the news of your pregnancy when you come back!" Zhuge Liuli said regretfully.

At this time, Zhuge Liuli was still worried about the incident of His Highness's descendants.

Although Hongfu Nu was cool, she was also thin-skinned when facing this kind of problem. She quickly changed other questions and asked: "Did you hurt the last time the assassin attacked?"

Zhuge Liuli shook his head and said, "No, the other party was defeated by the guards, so he retreated. You are telling me what happened on this trip, I want to hear it."

.........

Yang Shuang changed into a python robe and then left the mansion to return to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Du Ankang, the chief of the Sili Supervisor, had already been waiting.

"I Du Ankang pays homage to His Highness the Ming Dynasty." Du Ankang hurriedly greeted him and bowed his hands.

Yang Shuang smiled and said, "Eunuch Du is exempt from gifts, don't be so polite. I haven't seen you for a few months, and my father-in-law's complexion is getting better and better!"

"I will be able to do this today by your majesty." Du Ankang said respectfully, "Your Majesty has heard that Your Majesty has been back to Beijing, and he has been talking about it many times today."

I've been chanting many times? I must have been chanting. After all, I lied to him to run to the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how to be scolded after a while.

"Please lead the way!" Yang Shuang said.

Du Ankang took Yang Shuang into the palace and came to the Imperial Garden.

At this time, in the imperial garden, Emperor Sui Yang Jian was fishing by the lake. When the autumn wind blew, layers of ripples appeared on the lake.

Yang Shuang walked over, got closer, bowed and said, "My son Yang Shuang pays homage to his father, and wishes him all the best and good fortune!"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Sui Yang Jian ignored Yang Shuang at all, sat motionless, and quietly watched the fish floating on the lake.

Yang Shuang didn't dare to get up and continued to bow.

Your Majesty was very angry and was playing tricks. If you hadn't taken out newspapers, fine salt, papermaking, printing, soap and other treasures before departure, you wouldn't have been as simple as throwing a tantrum today, but you would have cursed at the head and scolded you.

After a while, when Yang Shuang felt his arms sore, Emperor Sui snorted coldly and asked, "Please calm down. Are you happy about the Tang Dynasty this time? Do you feel accomplished when you go out without hiding it from everyone?"

Yang Shuang honestly admitted her mistake: "My son knows that he is wrong, please punish him!"

Emperor Sui then turned around and stared at Yang Shuang and shouted: "Do you think I dare not punish you? It's such a nonsense. He dared to run to Chang'an with a few guards. Although the Sui and Tang dynasties formed an alliance, the Tang Kingdom was another country after all, and it was very dangerous to go there. As evidence, you did encounter danger and almost couldn't come back after being arrested. Do you think you are very powerful and have nine lives?"

Wang Gui is a secret spy from the Sui Dynasty, so he would definitely tell the Emperor Sui that something happened to Yang Shuang, which could not be concealed.
To be continued...
