At this time, Li Guanwen was already drenched in cold sweat.
As for what Ji Zeyu's intentions were, he was very clear in his heart.
Li Guanwen was Your Majesty's favorite. When he was in the imperial court, even the Cabinet Elders had to be courteous to him. Sometimes, Li Guanwen represented Your Majesty. For example, this time, he was representing Your Majesty to question Ji Zeyu.
This situation was well known to the world.
Even these uncouth men in the Tiger Army knew that Your Majesty's Chief of Eunuchs could not be offended.
However, Ji Zeyu's one sentence was enough for these men in the Tiger Army to arrest him without any hesitation.
Li Guanwen had no doubt that if Ji Zeyu had casually said 'execute him on the spot', his head would have been separated from his neck!
The Tiger Army's obedience to Ji Zeyu was to the extent that they did not care about Your Majesty. They did not even care if the Imperial Censor accused them of treason. They only listened to Ji Zeyu's commands wholeheartedly. Didn't this show the extent of Ji Zeyu's control over the Tiger Army?
Ji Zeyu used such a direct method to answer Li Guanwen's question.
Some things were seen with one's own eyes. If Ji Zeyu said that he had complete control over the Tiger Army, perhaps others would not believe it. However, Li Guanwen had no choice but to believe it now.
Li Guanwen wiped the sweat on his forehead, staggered up in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Prince Consort Ji is indeed a heroic figure. In such a short time, you have already taken care of the Tiger Army so well that it is as impenetrable as an iron bucket. Your Majesty would be very happy if he knew. "
Ji Zeyu nodded coldly. "Is there anything else?"
Li Guanwen choked for a moment.
He knew that Prince Consort Ji had always treated people coldly. However, he had just mentioned Your Majesty. Shouldn't a normal person be modest, make small talk, and then thank Your Majesty for her trust and cultivation?
Why did Prince Consort Ji seem like he wanted to chase him away?
"Replying to the Prince Consort, this servant has nothing else. Don't worry, I won't say anything that shouldn't be said in reply to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty knows that you have taken control of the Tiger Army, he will definitely praise you. "The smile on Li Guanwen's face squeezed out two deep crow's feet from the corners of his eyes.
Ji Zeyu remained expressionless. He nodded emotionlessly and said, "I won't see you out."
Li Guanwen hurriedly saluted and walked out.
Outside the tent, Li Guanwen breathed in the free air outside. Only then did he feel like he had finally come back to life. Ji Zeyu was indeed someone who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He had killed countless people. The icy aura around him was too frightening. Anyone who was stared at by him would feel like their necks would be broken in the blink of an eye. Li Guanwen felt like he would have nightmares for more than ten days if he had experienced something like today.
Fortunately, he had received good news. Your Majesty would be very happy if he knew that Prince Consort Ji had taken control of the Tiger Army and did not have to worry about the Tiger Army turning against Prince Zhongshun midway.
Li Guanwen quickly left to report back.
In the tent, Ji Zeyu once again returned to the map. His slender, strong, and well-defined fingers slid from the Tian Yu Pass to the Tian Lang Pass, then through Tian Shu Pass and Tian Men Pass. They passed by countless towns and cities as they gradually made their way to the capital.
Pang Xiao was coming back. He had already found Qin Yining.
However, Your Majesty had already prepared a large net and was just waiting for them to crawl into it.
For Pang Xiao's sake, Your Majesty even trusted him with the Tiger Army. Ji Zeyu thought that Your Majesty must have made up his mind to get rid of Pang Xiao this time.
Ji Zeyu narrowed his eyes and pointed at a certain spot on the map.
After a long time, Ji Zeyu finally came back to his senses. He sighed softly and thought to himself, "It would have been better if he didn't come back this time. Why did he bring his wife back in such a hurry?"

Pang Xiao and Qin Yining naturally could not hear Ji Zeyu's thoughts. However, their pace of returning to the capital was indeed slowed down because of Qin Yining's severe morning sickness.
"Sister Yi, are you feeling better?" Pang Xiao fed Qin Yining a dried sour plum and coaxed her, "I heard that this can relieve nausea. Try it."
At this time, they were lying together in the soft and comfortable carriage. In order to reduce the nausea caused by the bumps, Pang Xiao specially ordered people to wrap the wheels with thick cotton. As a result, the shaking was indeed much less, and the disturbing sound of the wheels was also much weaker. However, the slowing of the journey was unavoidable. Now, whenever Yi Binghu saw Pang Xiao's carriage, he would be so angry that his liver would hurt.
"I'm fine. I'm already feeling better. " Qin Yining frowned and leaned into Pang Xiao's arms. The tears from the vomiting were still hanging from the corners of her eyes. She closed her eyes and weakly handed her entire weight to Pang Xiao.
Pang Xiao looked down at her pale face with pity. He wiped the corners of her eyes with his sleeve and said, "We're about to reach the capital. With your body like this, I'm really worried. When we get back, we'll ask the imperial physician to take a good look at you. "
Qin Yining laughed and said, "We were escorted to the capital because we committed a crime. How can we ask for an imperial physician just because we want to? If we ask for an imperial physician immediately after we arrive, Your Majesty will most likely die of anger. "
Her tone was very relaxed, but her voice was weak and hoarse.
Pang Xiao's heart ached when he heard this. He did not answer Qin Yining's words. Instead, he said, "If I knew that you would suffer so much, I wouldn't have wanted a child."
"What are you saying?" Qin Yining held Pang Xiao's hand. She closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Even if you don't want to be a father, I still want to be a mother. This isn't just about you. As long as our child can be born safely and live a healthy life, I will be satisfied.
"Moreover, look at which mother isn't like this? You and my mother also suffered so much in the past. That's why people say that if you don't raise your child, you won't know your parents' kindness. When we go back in the future, we have to be filial to our mother. "
Pang Xiao saw that she was clearly very tired, but still had to raise her spirit to comfort him. He felt even more distressed.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Take advantage of the fact that you don't feel so bad right now and quickly sleep for a while. We'll be in the suburbs of the capital soon. I don't know if there's anyone waiting for us there. If Your Majesty doesn't act up immediately, I'll ask the imperial physician to take a good look at you. "
Qin Yining heard this and could only obediently nod. In addition, she was indeed tired. She closed her eyes and hugged Pang Xiao's waist. She found a comfortable position in his arms and fell into a deep sleep not long after.
Pang Xiao stretched out his arms and covered her with the blanket. The weather at the end of April was still a bit cold. Qin Yining was especially afraid of the cold right now.
They had seen many physicians along the way. Everyone said that Qin Yining's body was weak and that it was not the best time to conceive. Every time Pang Xiao heard this, he regretted it very much. He felt that he should not have allowed Qin Yining to have a child when her body was at its weakest. But since she already had a child, they had to do their best to protect this child.
Pang Xiao closed his eyes and did not let go of Qin Yining's arm for a moment. In his mind, he was thinking about the deployment after they arrived in the capital. Jinghu Wei had already inquired about the general situation and he had a rough idea in his heart.
Now, it was up to the people around him to see if they had a tacit understanding. Especially him and Ji Lan.
Because Pang Xiao knew that Your Majesty would definitely choose a time when he was least able to retaliate to attack him.
And this time would definitely be when he and Qin Yining had just returned to the capital and did not have time to make any arrangements.

Everything was developing in the direction that Pang Xiao had guessed in his heart.
Just as Prince Zhongshun's ceremonial procession neared the northern suburbs, they bumped into the troops from the capital's military barracks.
When Yi Binghu saw his own people, he immediately felt as if he had finally returned home. He happily greeted them. "Did Your Majesty order you to come?"
The general leading the troops was called Sun Guang. He was quite familiar with Yi Binghu. After they met and greeted each other, Sun Guang said, "Yes, I am here to welcome Prince Zhongshun's ceremonial procession into the capital. I have been waiting here for many days. Your Majesty thought that Wang Ye would be back in a few days, so he ordered me to wait here. "
When Yi Binghu heard this, he felt helpless.
Since they had already arrived in the capital, shouldn't Your Majesty have directly arranged for people to arrest Pang Xiao and his men and be done with it? But now, he had ordered the soldiers from the capital's military barracks to come out of the city to welcome them. This was equivalent to giving Pang Xiao enough face. Yi Binghu had not expected this kind of situation.
At this time, Pang Xiao had already gotten off the carriage. Because Qin Yining was not feeling well, his expression was somewhat serious. He said in a low voice, "So it is General Sun. I will have to trouble General Sun to thank Your Majesty on behalf of This King. "
Sun Guang immediately cupped his hands in greeting to Pang Xiao and said, "Wang Ye, it is best that you personally thank Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty has also said that you have just returned. He asked Wang Ye and Wang Fei to temporarily stay in the manor outside the city. The preparations there have already been made. Tomorrow is the court assembly. Your Majesty has asked Wang Ye and Wang Fei to attend court together. At that time, you will have plenty of opportunities to personally thank Your Majesty. "
When Yi Binghu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
So Your Majesty had arranged it like this!
Is he planning to first put Pang Xiao and his group under house arrest outside the city, not allowing them any time to prepare, and then come to court tomorrow to judge them? "
Thinking of this, Yi Binghu almost laughed out loud.
Pang Xiao naturally understood Li Qitian's intentions, but he was not afraid. He only said, "Many thanks to Your Majesty for the arrangements. However, my wife is pregnant. Has the manor arranged a physician?"
Along the way, Yi Binghu had secretly reported that Qin Yining was pregnant. Along the way, he had stopped to look for a physician. Therefore, Li Qitian had already known about this news.
Now that Pang Xiao had asked about it in person. Sun Guang naturally could not say that Your Majesty had not arranged anything. He immediately said, "This general will immediately invite a physician for Wang Fei."
Pang Xiao said, "We don't need a normal physician. We need an imperial physician from the palace who specializes in the treatment of young women. Go and invite him. If you can't invite him, This King will personally go."
This threat was very direct. Sun Guang would rather be beaten to death than let Pang Xiao personally invite an imperial physician. If this person escaped on the way, they, the Jingji Guards, would have to bear the consequences!
Sun Guang repeatedly nodded and saluted, "Wang Ye, don't worry. This general will definitely do as you say."
While Sun Guang ordered someone to invite an imperial physician, Pang Xiao had already returned to the carriage and ordered the people to set off.
