Because he lived a long life, and the late emperor had always been frugal, there were not many people going, and he kept things simple and started preparations more than a month ago. At this time, even if he went a day in advance, he could cope with it.

But an hour was a bit hasty after all, and Minghai was even more worried that the snow would get heavier and heavier, making it difficult to walk up the mountain. When he asked his subordinates to send messages, he always warned them again and again.

Fortunately, no one was stupid. Seeing that the weather was bad at this time, everyone had some rough guesses in their minds and had prepared in advance. After receiving the instructions, they hurriedly went out with a few things and waited outside the palace.

An hour later, the main entrance of the palace opened wide.

First came the imperial guards, followed by the accompanying eunuchs and maids, then the chariot and horses ridden by Qin Yishu, followed by Qin Peiyou, Qin Peiyuan, the princes, princes, and officials...

The group of people marched along Jingcheng Street with great momentum and slowly headed out of the city.

Because this time we were going to Yunling Temple to celebrate the late emperor's birthday, and because the weather was gloomy and snowy, everyone had serious expressions along the way and did not speak much.

Even Qin Peiyou and He Yanxiu, who were always joking and joking, were riding in two separate carriages and moving forward calmly.

Only Qin Jiashu boarded An Guogong's carriage when he was halfway on the road. The reason was that the axle of his carriage broke due to the muddy road and it was difficult to move forward.

All in all, everything was safe on the way to Yunling Temple.

Qin Peiming looked out through the window of the carriage for a long time, and finally lowered the curtain, "Father, judging from the current speed of travel, we will reach the foot of Yunling Temple in about an hour."

"Yes." Qin Lingshu nodded, "The emperor attaches great importance to the birthday ceremony of the late emperor. This is your first time coming to the temple to celebrate the birthday of the late emperor. You must study hard, watch hard, and be very energetic."

"Yes, Father." Qin Peiming nodded, and asked after a moment, "It's the first time His Highness has gone out since he was injured. I'm afraid he may not be used to it. Do you want your child to accompany His Highness?"

"No need." Qin Lingshu said, "Although Your Highness does not need to walk when you go up the mountain, being carried is very energy-consuming. At this time, it is best for Your Highness to take a good rest."

"Your Highness probably wants to have some peace and quiet at this time and doesn't want to be disturbed."

"What my father said is absolutely true." Qin Peiming curled his lips and smiled.

The carriage continued to move forward slowly.

Although the snow beads falling from the sky did not increase in size, because it had been raining for half a day, there was already a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the wheels made a slight creaking sound when they ran over them.

When the attendants and palace attendants walked, they also made creaking and clicking sounds.

Such sounds are sometimes regular and sometimes chaotic, but every sound is very dull, as if stepping on people's hearts, making people feel uncomfortable.

He Yanxiu, who had closed his eyes to meditate, opened his eyes and reached out to open the curtains on the carriage.

Looking out from the car window, He Yanxiu just happened to see one of the carriages passing the ones in front of him, and someone was also looking out.

It's Qin Peiyuan.

And when he looked around, he was not looking forward, but constantly looking out.

When he realized that someone was looking at him, and the person looking at him was He Yanxiu, Qin Peiyuan retracted his head in panic.

Even the shaking car curtain quickly calmed down, as if it was deliberately held by him.

He Yanxiu put down the curtain expressionlessly and sat upright again.

Because of the snow, the traveling speed was much slower than usual. It was not until mid-afternoon that the group of people reached the foot of the mountain.

The next step is to go up the mountain.

Led by Qin Yishu, everyone abandoned their carriages and horses and climbed up the stairs.

Qin Peiyuan, who had difficulty moving, was carried up in a sedan chair.

The snowy road was slippery and the large number of people made the climb up the mountain very slow. It was not until late in the evening that Qin Yishu led everyone into Yunling Temple. Under the guidance of the monks, they went to the Zen room to rest.

The evening meal was delivered to each room by the monks.

Qin Yishu called Qin Peiyou and He Yanxiu to have dinner together in the room, and even ordered the temple to make an extra red bean glutinous rice dumpling that Qin Peiyou liked to eat.

The three of them talked until very late at night and did not disperse until late at night.

The lights in Qin Peiyuan's room were always burning. He was holding his rice bowl and eating the food that had already gone cold.

"Your Highness, I will bring you some hot food." He Wen said, "Eating cold food can easily hurt your stomach."

"At this point, it doesn't matter whether it's hurt or not." Qin Peiyuan had a sullen face and just took the food into his mouth. No matter how the food tasted, he just mechanically chewed it.

It wasn't until he finished all the food on the plate that a figure moved outside the door.

"Who is it?" Qin Peiyuan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

"Your Highness, Wu Qi, the monk in Cai Temple just now said that it is cold at night in the temple and is worried that His Highness will not be able to sleep at night, so he asked me to bring some charcoal fire and a thicker quilt to Your Highness."

Wu Qi answered outside, "I also brought Tang Pozi and thick cotton clothes to His Highness so that Your Highness can be more comfortable."

"Come in." Qin Peiyuan said.

He Wen opened the door, and Wu Qi quickly ran into the house and quickly knocked on the door.

He quickly walked to the window and opened a small crack to check what was going on outside. When he found that everything was fine, he knelt down in front of Qin Peiyou and said, "Your Highness."

"Is everything ready outside?" Qin Peiyuan raised his eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been arranged according to His Highness's instructions." Wu Qi said, "In addition, the affairs in the palace have also been arranged properly. The Queen wants to send a message to His Highness, so that His Highness can do it. The rest is

There’s nothing to worry about.”

Hearing him mention the Queen, Qin Peiyuan was relieved, "The Queen will always be on my side."

"Where is what I want?" Qin Peiyuan stretched out his hand.

Wu Qi took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Qin Peiyuan, "My lord found this medicine according to His Highness's instructions. It is very effective. However, my lord said that this medicine is too strong. Your Highness must not use it."

Open it at will to avoid taking it by mistake."

"Does your master really treat me like a child?" Qin Peiyuan smiled faintly, "Or do you think that my mobility has become inconvenient now, so my brain has become stupid?"

Wu Qi suddenly panicked and hurriedly kowtowed and defended, "Your Highness, I forgive you. I am humble and loyal to my master, and I have no intention of disrespecting Your Highness..."

Seeing Wu Qi kowtow like a chicken pecking rice, and his forehead quickly became red and swollen, Qin Peiyuan laughed and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wu Qi thanked him tremblingly, but did not dare to get up.
