     At the end of June in the 25th year of Yuanxi, the eighth prince returned to the capital under the escort of Duke Wei Xia Jingyao.

     Only this time, only the eldest prince and some of his subordinates came to greet him outside the city.

     "Brother."

     Seeing the eldest prince, Ao Ruize grabbed the rein in his hand, turned over and got off the horse.

     "It's good to come back safely, it's good to come back safely."

     The eldest prince patted Ao Ruize on the shoulder, and while hugging him and walking towards the city, he said to himself: "Old Ba, brother knows that you are not feeling well."

     "But in this matter, you have indeed gone too far."

     "After all, as a minister and son of man, the last thing you can't and should not forget is your own identity."

     "Fortunately, father is not a suspicious person. The reason why he is furious now is more because he was instigated by the fourth child. When father's anger subsides, mother and concubine and I will go to father's place again." I beg you for mercy, once Emperor Father is happy, maybe your royal title will be restored."

     After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Ao Ruize: "Old Ba, what do you think?"

     He thought that after this incident, Ao Ruize should be more at ease, and he would be more respectful to him.

     Ao Ruize looked at him, only smiled and said, "No need."

     "You and I are brothers of the same mother. I should help you..."

     Halfway through the speech, the First Prince realized that what Ao Ruize said was not 'Then please trouble your elder brother. Don't worry, elder brother. If anything happens to you in the future, my younger brother, I will definitely go through fire and water', but 'No need'.

     "What?"

     Before he finished speaking, his pupils shrank suddenly.

     Because it was at this moment that he realized that Ao Ruize was followed by a long line of carriages and sedan chairs.

     It shouldn't be.

     After all, although Emperor Yuanxi's order was only to order Wei Guogong to escort the eighth prince back to Beijing, wasn't it actually to remove his military power on the spot and escort him back to Beijing?

     But what's going on now?

     The most important thing is that those carriages and sedan chairs are all familiar to him——

     At this moment, the carriages and sedan chairs stopped.

     A number of court officials lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage or sedan chair.

     Seeing the eldest prince, they greeted politely: "Greetings to the eldest prince."

     The eldest prince was already confused: "You, what are you?"

     Those courtiers only smiled and said: "It's like this, the lower officials heard that His Highness the eighth prince's carriage is about to arrive in the capital, so they went out of the city for ten miles to welcome the eighth prince back to the capital."

     The First Prince's face was already frozen.

     Back then when Ao Ruize returned to the court twice, none of these important court officials were present, but today, they were all present.
