The Crown Prince and Li Yunhe came out of the restaurant after having a good meal and saw Minister Zhang and his men walking on the street, seemingly searching for something.
Seeing the Crown Prince and Li Yunhe, Minister Zhang stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Excuse me," the Crown Prince said, looking at the person behind Minister Zhang. "What happened?"
Minister Zhang briefly recounted what had happened at Baiyun Temple and began to search for the person in a hurry.
"Master Zhang wants to seal the city gates?"
The Crown Prince stopped him and said, "There's no need to search any further. According to what you said, Prince Duan left Baiyun Temple before you, and you were delayed in returning to the Ministry of Justice to retrieve the people. I'm sure Prince Duan has already left the city by now."
Seeing his hesitation, the Crown Prince continued, "Withdraw the troops and don't cause panic among the people. I will explain anything to my father."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After saying this, Minister Zhang took his men away.
"What are you thinking about, Brother Yunhe?"
The two got on the carriage. The prince looked at Li Yunhe who was in deep thought and asked with a smile.
Li Yunhe straightened his clothes and said, "I am wondering which country Prince Duan will flee to. He has no soldiers now. If he wants to make a comeback, he must rely on the help of other countries."
"Brother Yunhe is right. We will go to the palace to see our father immediately."
The carriage stopped at the palace gate. The two men got off the carriage and saw Lord Qin coming out of the palace.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness, Master Li."
"Excuse me, Sir Qin, are you coming to the palace for the matter concerning Prince Duan?"
Lord Qin sighed, "Your Highness the Crown Prince knows everything. Prince Duan escaped right under my nose."
"Master Qin, there's no need to blame yourself."
After saying goodbye to Lord Qin, the two went straight to the imperial study.
Eunuch Cao took the two of them in directly.
When the emperor heard the two of them saluting, he put down his pen and asked them to stand up.
"Are you here for Prince Duan's matter?"
"Your Majesty is wise. When I returned to the palace, I met Minister Zhang and already knew the whole story."
"What do you think we should do now?" The emperor looked at the prince and asked softly.
What else can we do? We must quickly send letters to other countries to prevent Prince Duan from tricking them into joining us in attacking Tianqi.
Prince Duan is now a lone commander. The fastest way for him to make a comeback is to borrow troops from other countries. Of course, it depends on whether he has the ability to borrow them.
The prince curled his lips and said with a bow:
"I believe that Prince Duan will no longer stay in Tianqi, so I can write a letter to other countries, saying that if anyone can capture Prince Duan, they will be exempted from paying tribute for a year."
[Brother Crown Prince and I really have a tacit understanding.]
[I remember that in the original plot, Prince Duan fled to the Kingdom of Li and thrived there.]
Yu Yiluo was thinking about the plot seriously when she felt a gaze falling on her. The gaze was so scorching that she couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
She raised her big black eyes and looked at Li Yunhe who had already looked away.
[Why is Li Yunhe looking at me? But this time his eyes look quite normal.]
When the emperor and the prince heard this, they both looked at Li Yunhe standing beside them.
"Master Li?"
Li Yunhe put away his unnecessary thoughts and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is absolutely right."
The emperor asked the two to leave and listened to Yu Yiluo's inner voice.
[Why does Li Yunhe's back look familiar?]
Yu Yiluo looked at Li Yunhe walking towards the door of the imperial study, and suddenly became excited in her heart.
[My goodness, isn’t this the silhouette I saw in my dream? ]
[Damn, why was that dream so short? I wonder if the goddess they mentioned is the Goddess of Resurrection.]
The prince slowed down his pace and made sure that Yu Yiluo was no longer talking before he resumed his normal pace and left the imperial study.
As he walked away from the imperial study, the prince stopped and looked at Li Yunhe.
He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, wears a jade crown on his head, has regular and fair facial features, and is dressed in a white brocade robe. He looks indeed elegant and extraordinary.
Li Yunhe was puzzled by the Crown Prince's gaze. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "But there is something on my face?"
The prince shook his head and said, "I was just wondering why Brother Yunhe hasn't married yet. With your looks, there should be many young ladies in the capital who would like to marry you."
Luo'er dreamed of Li Yunhe. Could it be that she dreamed about something at night because she thought about it during the day?
Thinking about their ages, the prince quickly dismissed this ridiculous idea.
Li Yunhe had not expected the Crown Prince to bring up this matter. He was stunned for a moment and replied, "I have no intention of being sentimental."
"No heart for love?"
The prince repeated it in a low voice, and Li Yunhe nodded. Feeling that something seemed wrong, he quickly explained.
"Of course, I am not gay."
The prince: “…”
"I just asked casually," the Crown Prince continued walking, sighing casually, "I wonder what kind of consort my father will find for Luo'er in the future."
Li Yunhe lagged behind the prince by half a step, lowered his eyes and chuckled when he heard the words.
"The little princess is still young, it's too early for her to find a husband. When she grows up, she will definitely marry the best man in the world."
In his opinion, the best man in the world might not be worthy of her.
Thinking about her past life, Li Yunhe suddenly became very curious. Would her personality in this life be the same as when she was a goddess, indifferent and aloof, and not to be desecrated?
…
Yu Yiluo didn't know that her thoughts made the prince think so much. She was listening attentively to the conversation between Concubine Xian and the others.
"After Concubine Shu went to the temple, she felt that staying in the palace was much more comfortable."
De Fei put down the melon seed shells in her hand and asked mysteriously, "Do you know what Sister Roupin has been doing recently?"
Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu shook their heads.
"You'll know when she comes."
As soon as Defei finished speaking, she saw Roupin come in carrying something.
"I've met a few sisters."
She bowed and handed the thing in her hand to Empress Xian with a smile.
"Sister Xian Fei, please uncover it and take a look."
【It can’t be for me. 】
Yu Yiluo stared at what Concubine Rou was holding, wishing she had the ability to see through things.
Empress Xian lifted the red cloth, revealing several lifelike figures on a tray.
There are rabbits, cats, and puppies.
[Could this be sewn by Aunt Roupin? Her craftsmanship is amazing.]
[As lifelike as the dolls carved by the Fourth Brother.]
"Is this all done by Sister Roupin?"
Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu looked at the doll in front of them in disbelief and gave her a thumbs up.
"I don't have anything valuable to give to the little princess, so I made a stuffed doll myself. I don't know if the little princess will like it."
Concubine Rou pursed her lips slightly. Her family background was not as good as those of the others, but fortunately they did not look down on her because of this.
[I like it. Although it’s not gold or silver jewelry, it’s full of my heart. 】
Yu Yiluo stretched out her little hands to grab the long ears of the pink rabbit and giggled at the few people.
"It seems Luo'er likes it very much."
"Sister Roupin, you didn't come with us to the palace just to make a doll?"
Concubine Rou smiled, squeezed Yu Yiluo's other hand, and nodded.
"It's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise it would be so scary to see a flower thief."
As they were talking, Hua Rui came in and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Second Prince is here with Miss Du."
