Incident on the way

  Yongzhang saw Long Yitian seemingly enjoying his service, so he didn't continue saying anything, and quietly continued to massage Long Yitian's forehead.

  Although his wrists and arms had begun to ache slightly after a long time, he only gritted his teeth and endured it, and the movements of his hands did not stop because of this, but occasionally there would still be some pauses.

  Although Long Yinheng didn't pay much attention to Yongzhang sitting next to him, he could still sense the movements of his hands very clearly. Naturally, he could also guess that Yongzhang's hands were probably aching, after all, Yongzhang had been pampered since childhood and rarely did such servant-like tasks.

  He lifted his hand and pulled Yongzhao's hand away from his forehead, Long Yitian gently stroked the slightly cool fingertips of Yongzhao, and smiled softly: "I'm fine, you can rest too."

  Yongzhen had long been accustomed to Longyin Tian's occasional displays of affection, so at this moment he did not have any resistant or awkward feelings. The only thing that made his hand involuntarily tremble slightly was the itching sensation transmitted from the tip of his finger, which also drew more than half of his attention away. As a result, the words that came out of his mouth were barely spoken: "Why don't we wait until we reach the front palace and have someone prepare some cooling drinks..."

  Long Hanyan knew the situation, after all, people who feared heat like him were rare. However, he didn't accept Yongzhuo's proposal because of this, and instead refused without hesitation: "No need."

  In fact, on the one hand, he was accommodating Yongzhang's physical condition. It wasn't impossible to add more ice basins in the carriage, but Yongzhang's weak and cold body wouldn't be suitable for such things. On the other hand, he also wanted to temper his adaptability, after all, there were still many days ahead, and he didn't want to suffer like this every summer.

  Yongzhao saw that Long Yitian did not agree with his words, and he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but at the same time, he was also very clear about what kind of temper his imperial father had, so he didn't say anything more.

  If it's said that his Majesty had some emotional attachments before, then in the past year or so, he felt that his Majesty has become more and more ruthless and decisive, although this isn't a bad thing for an emperor, but it also made him vaguely feel that the distance between him and his Majesty seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

  Just then, the carriage suddenly slowed down and finally came to a smooth stop. At the same time, a steady and orderly sound of horseshoes flashed outside the carriage. Although the team had stopped, there was not a hint of panic or disorder from outside.

  Yongzhang looked out the window with some confusion, and couldn't help but wonder what had happened to make the imperial family's convoy come to a halt; Long Yitian, on the other hand, was very calm and continued to maintain his slightly lazy posture leaning against the soft cushion, only imperceptibly releasing Yongzhang's hand.

  Before long, a loud voice came from outside the window: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is some problem with the carriage following behind. Lord Hesheli has already sent someone to investigate and please wait for a moment."

  "Hmm, I see." Long Yinhua calmly brushed off Gao Wuyong's words, but in his heart, he didn't entirely believe what Gao Wuyong had said.

  Yilazi is the leader of the guards, if it's true that he just sent someone to go, then no matter what, he should have come back to report in person, but now it's Gao Wuyong who is taking his place, one guess and you'll know that he must be afraid to make this trip himself.

  Long Yinheng didn't blame Iraji for this, but felt that he seemed to be over-tensing. Along the way, not only were there layers of guards, but even before they set out, local officials had repeatedly checked all the places where the imperial carriage would pass through, and set up checkpoints at every intersection, making it difficult for even a fly to get in.

  Actually, Iraji wasn't worried at all about the carriages of those concubines. What really made him anxious was that the horse-drawn carriages of the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince were also in the rear, if these two princes had any accidents, the Emperor would absolutely not show mercy.

  Perhaps others may not understand, but as a sticky guard at the Sticky Guard Station, after coming into contact with many secret reports, Irachi has gained a very deep understanding of Longyin Tian's cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness. He also deeply understands that even if he betrays anyone, he absolutely cannot betray his own master.

  After a while, Yelü Qi returned with his horse and brought news that made Long Huetian feel somewhat helpless. The reason why the carriages behind were stuck was because Liu Ge, Yongyou, was being stubborn and refused to ride in the carriage again, insisting on riding a horse instead.

  Yiruqi was also unable to do so for the time being. After all, Liu A Ge was his half-master, and he had to consider Liu A Ge's face a little bit. So he temporarily arranged for Fu Ling'an, who had been serving as a royal guard for over a year, to ride with Liu A Ge on the same horse to protect his safety.

  Long Yitian was quite satisfied with the arrangement for Erqi, Fu Ling'an being Fu Heng's eldest son, his martial skills were also good, most importantly he could handle things and understood the situation, it seemed that with Sixth Brother having him to protect him, there shouldn't be any problems.

  Although Yongzhao remained silent and didn't speak up, after hearing Yilazi's words, he began to feel uneasy in his heart. He never expected that Yongxiao would behave so presumptuously at this time. If they were to provoke the Emperor, the consequences would be unbearable.

  Unexpectedly, Long Yintian did not make any statement about this matter, and did not even ask further questions. He immediately ordered the carriage to continue moving forward, giving people the feeling that nothing had happened at all.

  As the carriage slowly moved forward, Yongzhang wanted to speak several times, but hesitated and didn't know whether he should ask. The anxious and worried expression was clearly written on his face.

  Long Yitian's gaze swept over Yongzhang's eyes several times, but he didn't say anything, although he had already guessed what was on Yongzhang's mind from the very first glance.

  Finally, when the car arrived at the summer resort villa, Yongzhang still couldn't ask the question. He wasn't afraid to ask because he was timid or afraid of trouble, but rather because he was deeply afraid that it would add fuel to the fire, which would be truly counterproductive.

  After dinner, Long Yitian finally called Fuling An to his side and asked in detail what had happened that afternoon.

  Fu Ling'an thought for a moment and then explained the situation clearly: "To report to Your Majesty, after the imperial carriage set off, Liu Gege and Wu Gege had a small dispute in the same carriage. Since then, there has been no communication between them. In the afternoon, Liu Gege suddenly ordered the horse-drawn carriage to stop and refused to ride it again, insisting on riding horses with the guards like everyone else. If not agreed, Liu Gege would not move forward, which affected Your Majesty's imperial procession."

  Long Hui Tian didn't think the contradictions would be so deep, to the point where even Yong Yu wouldn't ride in the same carriage as him. Although Yong Yu's personality is a bit too straightforward, Yong Qi is also someone who doesn't have much brains, and he had already offended all the brothers early on, what good could come of it for him?

  Taking a step back, even if Yongqi doesn't want to be with other brothers, at least on the surface, it should be passable, right?

  Long Hui Tian didn't want to make a fuss about this small matter either, since Yong Yu liked riding horses so much, he might as well let him ride his fill.

  "Alright, Long Yintian turned his head and instructed, 'Fuling An, consider today's events as if they never happened. Tomorrow, continue to carefully watch over Sixth Brother, got it?'"

  "Foolish me, I understand." Fu Ling'an responded without any hesitation, and this time his tone was somewhat similar to the usual low-key style of the Fu family, and there were no extra words.

  Long Yintian nodded and waved his hand to let Fuling An retreat. In his heart, he was even more satisfied with the Fu family.

  This Fu family is indeed worthy of being the relatives of the former emperor, not only are they low-key in their actions and have strict family rules, but Fu Heng also has considerable military achievements, which is why he hasn't been accused of relying on his connections to rise to power, showing that he is a capable person.

  After this little episode, the imperial carriage traveled for four more days before arriving at Mulan Weichang. From here on, Long Hui Tian would no longer reside in the temporary palace but instead live in a tent.

  Looking at the large tent in front of him, Long Hanyan finally had a feeling of being on the grassland. Compared to the capital city, the climate here was obviously much cooler, which also improved his mood a lot.

  Yongzhang saw Long Yinheng not mention the matter of Yongyu's willfulness that day, and knew that this matter would probably be passed over without being mentioned again. The worry in his heart also completely dissipated, and with a good mood, he naturally put more attention on this hunting trip.

  Along the way, Yongyao was having a great time, after all, Fuling An was only responsible for ensuring Yongyao's safety, but when it came to some of Yongyao's slightly unreasonable demands, he couldn't refuse, and instead let Yongyao indulge in horseback riding.

  Compared to everyone else, Yongqi is probably the most unhappy. He really can't understand why Yongrui made such a big mistake and yet Emperor A'Ma doesn't hold him accountable at all, not even giving him a basic scolding. If this had happened to any other prince, they would have been lucky to get off with just a few words of reprimand.

  After much thought, he could only attribute the reason to Emperor's favoritism towards Consort Xian and Third Prince, which also led to his indulgence of Yong Ruo.

  After this incident, he also deeply felt that having a noble mother could bring him great benefits, but unfortunately, his birth was not something he could decide, so all he could do was sigh helplessly.
