Zhu Xiuzhi and Wang Qiu rested at the cave entrance for the night. There were no sounds coming from the underground palace, and no pursuers. Zhu Xiuzhi thought to himself, it seems that the Empress Dowager still has some affection for Uncle Wang, or perhaps the Empress Dowager herself is not very clear about the situation in the underground palace and dares not come down rashly.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Zhu Xiuzhi gathered some wild fruits and then went out to scout the road. Going uphill was definitely out of the question; downhill was the palace. The only option was downhill. Although descending the mountain was difficult, and there was a deep pool below, there were almost no guards, so it should be faster.
By the time he had scouted out the terrain and arrived, it was already broad daylight. Wang Qiu had already eaten the fruit and tidied himself up.
"Uncle Wang, let's go down the mountain!" Zhu Xiuzhi said, squatting down and carrying Wang Qiu on his back. He then used his outer robe to cover Wang Qiu's buttocks and tied it around his waist, so that Wang Qiu's legs would have to exert less effort.
Wang Qiu lay on Zhu Xiuzhi's back, taking one last look at the cave where he had lived for three years, and silently said in his heart, "Xiao Jingrong, from now on we are even, and we will never meet again..."
"Uncle Wang, hold on tight!" Zhu Xiuzhi took a deep breath, raised his true energy to its maximum, and hung on the mountain wall like a monkey, using slightly protruding rocks or small branches to leap down.
He quickly flew to the foot of the cliff, which was fifty or sixty feet high, and below him was a deep pool several tens of feet wide.
He reached back and hugged Uncle Wang with one hand, then pushed off with both feet, turned around and faced the lake, while simultaneously flicking out several tree branches that floated on the surface of the pool. The whole sequence of actions was done in one smooth motion.
Wang Qiu couldn't help but exclaim, "Good!" Such skill at such a young age! Thinking of his own unworthy disciple, who had been a prodigal son since his debut, three years had passed, and he wondered how he was doing now…
Using the momentum from his previous push, Zhu Xiuzhi leaped across, his feet finding a foothold on a floating branch, and with a few bounds, he crossed the pool...
Although it was already broad daylight, there were few people on the road. Zhu Xiuzhi disregarded everything else, carried Wang Qiu on his back, and used all his strength to rush towards the Prince's Mansion.
Sure enough, the house was empty.
The garden was deserted at night, with only a mute person cleaning the courtyard.
Wang Qiu knew Zhu Xiuzhi's anxious state of mind and was very grateful that he had taken up a whole night of Zhu Xiuzhi's time to save him. So he said, "Fourth Prince, you can settle me here for the time being and send someone to take care of my food." Besides, he needed time to recuperate.
Zhu Xiuzhi nodded, then instructed Wang Qiu on things to be careful about, and told him not to leave the Night Garden under any circumstances.
Still unwilling to give up, he went to the bedroom to check. On the table was a letter that read "Xiu Zhi Qi".
Looking at the title above, Zhu Xiuzhi felt a warmth in her heart and a slight smile appeared on her face. She knew she had made a mistake and understood how to dislike him. Usually, she would call him either "Fourth Prince" or "Zhu Xiuzhi," and she rarely called him by his given name.
He quickly opened the letter, which read: "No matter what, I should go, you understand. If you're worried, you can come after me. Of course, as your son-in-law, you should come too. But you are a prince, so whether you come or not is up to you."
Last signature: Yu'er
Hmm, look at her tone. She completely absolves herself of the fault for leaving first, and then even makes a sarcastic remark to him. Outsiders may not know, but surely he knows that she sees him, this prince, no differently than an ordinary commoner! I really don't know what her world was like before.
She doesn't trust him at all; she deserves a spanking when she catches up with him. How could he possibly let her go out alone, especially in her physical condition?
Zhu Xiuzhi walked out of the Night Garden and into the main hall. He learned that Han Feng had left with a hundred guards, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Early that morning, before he even arrived, the messenger had set off, carrying the message that the prince was still missing.
Zhu Xiuzhi gave a few instructions and was about to set off to catch up with Zhan Lan and her group when a high-pitched, shrill voice came from ahead: "Fourth Prince, receive the imperial decree!"
Zhu Xiuzhi was puzzled. What was his father up to? How long had it been since he had received such a formal imperial decree? Thinking of his incestuous relationship with his grandmother and the death of his mother, he felt even more furious. However, not knowing what the decree was, he couldn't act rashly, so he waited in the hall.
The one who delivered the imperial decree was Eunuch Hai from the Emperor's palace, a trusted subordinate of Eunuch Gao. He was sharp-eyed and quick-witted, rising from a lowly eunuch in the imperial kitchen to become Eunuch Gao's top lieutenant in just eight years. Now, not even thirty, he had risen through the ranks rapidly, and after Eunuch Gao passed away, he was the designated successor.
Hai Gonggong slowly trotted in. He had come to the Fourth Prince's residence to deliver the imperial decree. While the other eunuchs were secretly passing the buck, he had volunteered to take the task. Firstly, it would help him project a good image. Secondly, although the Fourth Prince was somewhat aloof, he was deeply favored by the Empress Dowager. Moreover, Hai Gonggong had seen the Fourth Prince with the Emperor several times, which was not as bad as the rumors suggested, that he was not favored by the royal family.
No one can say for sure about royal matters. Getting acquainted with the Fourth Prince first, whether it's useful or not, is always a good thing.
Besides, the Fourth Prince is just a bit cold-hearted; would he really kill him?
It was impossible to get the Fourth Prince to go out and receive the imperial decree; to get him to kneel and accept it would probably require the Emperor to be reborn. Eunuch Hai, well aware of the situation, ran to Zhu Xiuzhi and bowed deeply.
Zhu Xiuzhi glanced at him coldly and asked, "What is it?"
Eunuch Hai hurriedly opened the imperial edict and spread it on the table, saying, "His Majesty requests that you represent the court to visit General Leng."
Zhu Xiuzhi gave a cold "hmm." Was his father afraid he wouldn't go, so he issued an imperial edict to force him to go? Or was he trying to promote him and create hype?
I think it's probably the former. After all, the princess has already set off, while he, as her son-in-law, is still loitering around at home. "When do we depart?"
Eunuch Hai secretly wiped away a cold sweat, as long as he didn't refuse the imperial decree to the person's face.
Even though the Fourth Prince sat there expressionless and motionless, he still felt immense pressure. No wonder the other eunuchs were unwilling to come. He steadied himself and said, "His Majesty hopes that Your Highness can have lunch early and depart at noon. The tonics for visiting General Leng and the items to reward the soldiers have been prepared. You only need to depart from the South Gate at noon."
Zhu Xiuzhi nodded. He was going to see his father-in-law, and he also had to maintain a proper appearance for the princess. He stood up, not even glancing at Eunuch Hai, and walked inside. It seemed his father wanted to boost his popularity. Was that really necessary? He sneered inwardly.
Let's set off half a day later then. They left a day and a half earlier, so he should be able to catch up in most of the day. He can hold Lan'er and sleep with her tonight. Just thinking about it is wonderful...
