While An Ning was playing outside with Su Yue, she happened to meet Miss Lan again.

At that time, Miss Lan was choosing jewelry and cosmetics, and she followed Yang Xia'er.

An Ning took a look and took Su Yue away.

She seems to be playing, but in fact she is listening to the current people's livelihood in the market, etc.

Speaking of which, life in this capital is not easy now.

It’s okay for rich families, but ordinary people’s lives are getting worse every day.

When Anning set out to the island, the prices in the capital were not as high as they are now. More than ten years have passed, and the prices in the capital are almost twice as high as when she left.

But the people still make so much money.

The same money earned, the family originally earned one or two taels of silver and was enough for two or three months of expenses, but now it has only been enough for one month. Isn’t this a tight life?

An Ning was wandering around the streets, hearing a lot of complaints about prices, watching the people's clothes become more and more simple, and seeing many people who couldn't live on, she knew in her heart that this was a scene in the late dynasty.

After returning, An Ning wrote a letter to Xiaoke, telling Xiaoke about these things about the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also attached the defense maps of Tianjin and the capital, etc.

How did you get this defense map?

Speaking of this, it is really not difficult.

Nowadays, the generals in the army are mostly corrupt. Xiao Yuan takes money to open the way and does not spend much effort to get the defense map.

This time, An Ning and Xiao Yuan did not stay in Da Zhou for too long, but they stayed for a few months before going back.

Of course, when they left, they also took General Manager Su and Xu Rumei away.

This trip has been more than a year.

Over the past year, Xiaoke has been paying attention to the movements of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

An Ning and Xiao Yuan have also been paying attention.

In the past year, two more railways have been built on the island. Now the railway lines on the island run through the north and west, and people have made it much more convenient for travel. Because of these railways, the economy has also become revitalized.

And over the past year, the fleet brought back many refugees from Dazhou.

Xiaoke saw so many refugees flocking to him, and knew that the time was coming.

She began to step up training, intensify armed sea ships, etc.

This day was the day for the school to rest. Xu Xuan rested. Early in the morning, Xiao Yuan and Xu Xuan took a few children out to sketch.

An Ning studied food with Xu Rumei at home.

I waited until lunch was ready and went out to sketch and came back.

Several people put the easels and other things in place, washed their hands and came to have a meal.

Xiao Yuan added a bowl of soup and handed An Ning the message he had just sent: "Look."

An Ning took a look and handed it to Su Yue.

Manager Su sat aside and looked at Su Yue with a smile: "What's the matter?"

Su Yue looked and said, "It's the matter between Prince Cheng's mansion. Now, Prince Cheng married Lan Yurong, but the two got married not long after the incident happened.

Earlier, King Cheng and the Lan family indulged Prince Cheng and Lan Yurong to get along with each other, thinking about cultivating the relationship between the two. As a result, Lan Yurong took Yang Xia'er to meet Prince Cheng several times. After a while, I don't know why Yang Xiaer and Prince Cheng got along.

Now these two have become relatives? Prince Cheng told Lan Yurong that he wanted to take Yang Xia'er as his concubine, and said that Yang Xia'er is a good person and has a good relationship with Lan Yurong. If she is taken into the mansion, the good sisters Lan Yurong and Yang Xia'er will not have to be separated."

This incident is really disgusting.

Anyway, General Manager Su and Xu Rumei looked disgusted.

Xu Rumei sneered even more: "It's so shameless. He told him all the good things and he did all the evil things."

Manager Su laughed: "One generation is worse than another."

Xiao Yuan took out another piece of paper and said: "This is from a piece. It is said that Emperor Chengqing's health is getting worse and worse, which is what happened recently..."

The chopsticks in Manager Su's hand fell to the ground.

"He, how long will he have?"

Xiao Yuan thought for a while: "It's only one or two months."

Manager Su said, "Prepare a boat for me, I have to go back, I have to send him off."

Xiao Yuan understood the mood of General Manager Su very well.

No matter what, after all, the relationship between General Manager Su and Emperor Chengqing was there. Even if he was cold before, everyone was about to die now, and the bad ones were thrown aside, and the good ones were remembered.

"I've prepared it for a long time, when will you go back?"

"As soon as possible."

Xiao Yuan looked at An Ning again: "Let's follow us together, and take Mr. Hong and others..."

So, we started preparing here. In just three or five days, the group took a boat to Dazhou again.

This journey took less time, and in just over a month, An Ning stood on the land of Dazhou again.

When we arrived in the capital, several people felt like they were different.

Xiao Yuan was busy when he arrived in the capital, and he had to send General Manager Su to see Emperor Chengqing.

I was circulating in the palace here. Xiao Yuan was looking for an acquaintance from that time. The little eunuch he had rescued earlier was now a manager and was quite proud of his face in the palace.

The little eunuch looked for an opportunity to take General Su on the premise of Emperor Chengqing.

Emperor Chengqing is now at sunset. This man is old and starts to be nostalgic when he is almost out of reach.

The same is true now. He often thinks about his childhood, how he and General Manager Su overcome all the difficulties, how he escaped from death, and how he settled on the throne in the early years.

Thinking of these things, he began to miss the old men who followed him earlier.

But now most of them have gone, and he can't find someone to talk to.

As soon as he heard that General Manager Su wanted to see him, Emperor Chengqing immediately asked him to leave the palace to pick up General Manager Su.

Manager Su cleaned up and followed the people into the palace.

He went directly to meet Emperor Chengqing.

When I got into the house and saw Emperor Chengqing, General Manager Su's tears came down.

He trembled and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, why, why is this?"

Emperor Chengqing is now extremely thin and is extremely old. He is lying on the bed with a blue-white face, just looking at General Manager Su.

"You are back, I, it's great that I can see you."

He raised his hand and said, "Get up, sit closer and talk to me."

General Manager Su got up and moved a stool to sit down.

"Is your son filial now?"

Emperor Chengqing asked.

President Su smiled and said, "Okay, my son is not in vain. He treats me better than his own son and granddaughter. He gave birth to a great-grandson for me. Now I have a lot of children and grandchildren. In the early years, I really didn't expect that there would be such a day."
