After thinking it over, the emperor had no better solution, so he wrote a letter ordering the secret guards to continue searching. If they couldn't find the princess, they didn't need to return to the palace. If anything happened to the princess, they would be executed.
"If she didn't return to Nanyang Prefecture, where could she have gone? The five boys from the Zhou family didn't leave with her either, so it must have been that scoundrel Zhu Lin who kidnapped my princess. What exactly is he trying to do?" Emperor Taikang calmed down and began to analyze the situation carefully.
Meanwhile, the Fu brothers, who were heading south, were also sighing and complaining that Xingxing was unfair.
“Our sister is too ambitious. After leaving the capital, she said she was going somewhere else and wouldn’t return to Nanyang Prefecture for the time being.

"Alas, who knows when we'll meet again after this parting," Zhou Dafu said wistfully.
“The stars will come looking for us when they miss us,” Zhou Sanfu replied listlessly.
"That heartless brat is out having fun, who knows when he'll remember us," Zhou Wufu clicked his tongue.
"Achoo!" Xingxing suddenly sneezed, feeling inexplicably guilty. Her brothers must still be scolding her, but she felt helpless.
