Chapter 22 Redemption



In the study, the candle wick flickered.

Yingyi walked to the window and closed the carved wooden door.

Prince Jin sat on a sandalwood chair, and glanced with his deep eyes at his two sons who were standing in front of him with their heads lowered.

"Tell me what's going on with this vase? And where have you been during your disappearance?"

The little girl and Gan'er suddenly appeared, and Yong'er called the little girl a little fairy.

The little fairy came and went freely through the vase in front of him.

even!

He also saved his princess.

King Jin was still extremely shocked at this moment, if what just happened had not happened right in front of him.

He would never believe that there were such mysterious things in the world.

Ruanruan was here just now. He listened to the conversation between several people and could roughly guess some things.

Zhao Chengqian told King Jin about the medicine Huaping gave them, the food Huaping gave them, the rice and fodder, and how he was captured and sent to Ruanruan's home by Huaping.

"You mean that the vase leads to another world?"

Prince Jin suddenly stood up from his chair, raised his eyebrows, stared at Zhao Chengqian with wide eyes, and clenched his hands.

He never lost his composure in front of the officials, but he lost his composure again and again after meeting Ruanruan.

Zhao Chengqian said, "Yes, that world is different from ours. It's a world of great harmony, the kind you'd find in storybooks. Everyone is equal, there's no imperial power, and rulers serve and are responsible only for the people. It's a paradise on earth."

He was in high spirits when he said this, and was proud of being able to reach that place.

Zhao Chengqian told everything he saw in that world, as well as what he learned about that world in the library.

"People there can stay informed about what's happening in the world without leaving their homes. They don't need to walk to get around, as they have a vehicle they call a car. Just by moving your hands, you can travel thousands of miles."

"Wow! Is that the world of gods?" Zhao Yong's face was full of longing and envy.

Zhao Chengqian nodded. "She said she's a human being like us and can get hurt. She's only five years old this year, or four and a half, which makes her a little younger than Yong'er."

"She is surrounded by family members who particularly care and love her, including her grandparents and uncle."

"She also has a vase, she knows medicine, and in her place everyone can have enough food and clothing, and they don't have to worry about where to eat."

He didn't know what gods looked like, he had only heard of them in storybooks.

Although Ruanruan was different from the immortals who rode the clouds and mist as described in the storybooks, in their eyes she could give them hope of life.

Save them from the water and fire.

That’s a god!

"Brother, she is the little fairy! She is the only little fairy who can save all of us." Zhao Yong grabbed Zhao Chengqian's sleeve, his face full of seriousness.

King Jin touched his two sons' heads and was horrified at the moment. At the same time, he was extremely grateful to God for his favor, which allowed them to get the help of the little god through the vase.

"Yong'er is right. Regardless of whether that world is a fairyland or somewhere else, she is the goddess in our hearts. We must respect her when we see her."

King Jin had some guesses in his mind. There was the Peach Blossom Spring in ancient times, and there is a paradise on earth today.

Maybe the place where Ruanruan is is not a real fairyland, but it is the fairyland in their minds.

Zhao Yong nodded, "Yeah, I understand."

"Father, the rice and fodder that Ruanruan gave me, my mother asked Yingqi to hide them. I know where they are." Zhao Chengqian continued.

"Well, it's getting late today, you guys should go down and rest first."

Seeing Zhao Chengqian still standing there, Prince Jin reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about your mother, your father will be there for her."

"You've done a great job along the way."

Zhao Chengqian said nothing, lowered his head dejectedly, clenched and unclenched his hands, his eyes were slightly red, and the tip of his nose felt a little sore.

As the eldest son of King Jin, he had to protect his mother and younger brother on behalf of his father when he was not around.

He encountered many things along the way. He was afraid and felt uncomfortable, but his willpower supported him and he could not give up. He even told himself that men do not shed tears easily. Finally, he successfully brought his mother and younger brother to his father.

"Go." King Jin touched his little head with his big hand.

Zhao Chengqian thought of something and said, "Oh right, Father, Ruanruan doesn't like people calling her Little Fairy. She prefers a peaceful life and likes people to call her Ruanruan."

"Ruanruan is only five years old, innocent and romantic. I don't want anyone to hurt her."

"So if she comes, I can't let her feel uncomfortable here."

He hopes Ruanruan can be happy here too.

Prince Jin withdrew his hand, "Of course."

"Father will have the news of this matter suppressed."

Being soft is their only hope, and they must not let others notice.

Zhao Chengqian nodded, "I understand, son."

"Did you all hear it? If any rumor gets out today, I will not let you go even if I have to dig three feet into the ground." King Jin glanced coldly at Doctor Song who was kneeling on the ground.

Doctor Song was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will keep this secret even if I die!"

Prince Jin and Doctor Song stayed in the side room all night. Princess Jin's fever kept coming back and forth until dawn, when it completely subsided. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day, Zhao Chengqian came to see Princess Jin, and then took Yingyi to find the food and fodder that Yingqi had hidden.

Prefectural Office.

The prefect was wearing an official robe, sitting at a large round table, holding a string of Buddhist beads, feeling a little uneasy.

"Any news?" he asked immediately when he saw his master come in.

The master consoled him, "Don't worry, sir. You only sent a few people. Black Wind Village has hundreds of people. Even if the Prince of Jin is very capable, he can't win."
