The emperor was extremely agitated in his study. He hadn't felt this way in many years. The last time he felt this agitated was when his best brother rebelled.

At this moment, someone rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, there is news of His Highness the Crown Prince."

The emperor hurriedly opened the door and snatched the letter from the guard's hand.

The cover was blank, but upon opening it, I saw familiar handwriting—it was written by Zishu Yan.

The guards didn't know what was inside either, but they could see that the emperor's expression wasn't good.

The guard also spoke up: "This is a message brought by His Highness the Crown Prince's secret guards."

His Highness the Crown Prince's bodyguards usually only obey his orders, but since His Highness can still find them, does that mean His Highness is perfectly safe? That His Highness is still safe at this moment?

The emperor did not look well, and simply sent someone to summon the empress.

The guards saw the Empress as soon as they came out, presumably because she had also heard about the Crown Prince.

The empress found her husband in great anxiety, while the emperor, scratching his head, handed the letter to his wife.

Upon seeing the contents, the Empress paused, looking at the Emperor: "What does this mean?"

So Ayan is safe, and he actually ran away on his own? Why? Is it because he doesn't want to be emperor in the future or for some other reason? How could he be so willful as to run away like that? And he even took Wan Ge with him.

Considering Zishu Yan's feelings for Wan Ge, they knew that taking Wan Ge away would not harm her.

But what exactly did her little prince mean? He only said they were safe and not to look for them anymore! How could she not look for them? How could she be sure without seeing it with her own eyes? Besides, Zishu Yan shouldn't have run away so recklessly.

Even if he doesn't want to be emperor in the future, doesn't want to inherit the throne, and doesn't want to be so busy, that's something that can be discussed and talked about properly. But he just left without saying anything. What will the two of them do? What will they think?

…

Just as Wan Ge was waking up and still feeling groggy, she suddenly heard the person next to her say, "Wan Ge, I've already sent a message to them, so you don't need to worry."

Wan Ge was still completely confused and asked in a daze, "What?"

Then, slowly realizing what was happening, he finally replied with an "okay."

Her beautiful eyes looked at Zishu Yan beside her, and Zishu Yan simply extended his hand to her.

Wan Ge gently held his hand, letting him help her get out of bed and sit in front of the bronze mirror. Zi Shu Yan would help her comb her hair and put it up.

Zishu Yan had learned to comb her hair from palace maids since she was a child, so her skills in this area were already quite advanced.

However, Wan Ge never saw him again after that, and went out hunting during the day.

I always wake up in the morning half-asleep to find that the other person has already returned from hunting.

Wan Ge had no idea when the other person left, or whether it was late at night or very early.

Until one night, when she woke up groggily, the other person was not beside her. Wan Ge got up and turned on the light, but there was no one in the room.

She called out several times, but there was still no response.

Wan Ge wasn't afraid of being alone in such a place in the middle of the night. She just wanted to know if the other person was home.
