"Thank you, Your Highness." Wan Ge accepted the jade pendant from him. Since it was from him, even if she couldn't use it for anything, it could still serve as a token of their love.
However, since Xuan Yi had just encountered danger, Wan Ge was still worried, so she sent a guard to escort Xuan Yi back to the East Palace.
Xuan Yi understood her meaning, so he did not refuse. After returning to the East Palace, he changed his clothes and entered the Imperial Palace.
…
When the emperor saw Xuan Yi return safely, he breathed a sigh of relief: "My son, you're finally back! I was so scared! Your bodyguards told me you were in trouble, but my men couldn't find you when they went there. Thankfully, you're alright."
Xuan Yi nodded and then answered the emperor before him: "It was General Jian's daughter who saved me."
The emperor recalled that the men he had sent out did not find him when they returned, but they did see Wan Ge's residence near where Xuan Yi had disappeared.
Two skilled guards were stationed at Wan Ge's residence to prevent news of the Crown Prince's attack from leaking out, and they did not go forward.
I didn't expect the Crown Prince to actually be there. Luckily, Wan Ge saved him. Otherwise, if our people had found the past, who knows what would have happened.
He was terrified that those people would find the Crown Prince before him; he didn't dare imagine what that would mean...
Just then, Xuan Yi suddenly knelt on the ground: "Father, General Jian's daughter saved my life. I cannot fail to repay this kindness. I know that General Jian may be involved in treason, so I do not ask Father to release General Jian. I only ask Father to allow Miss Jian to see General Jian."
"This..." The emperor absolutely trusted his brother; he knew what kind of person his brother was. But at this moment, he and his brother were plotting something. Was it inappropriate to meet Wan Ge then? He didn't know if it would ruin their plans. So this was a question worth considering.
Seeing his father's indecisive look, Xuan Yi felt a little uneasy. His father had never hesitated to ask him for anything.
Moreover, I am not asking my father to punish him leniently or forgive him, but only to let Miss Jian meet him. My father is in such a dilemma. Could it be that General Jian has really committed treason?
“Father, no matter what, General Jian has fought on the battlefield for decades and has no other children but only one daughter. It is not unreasonable to let the two of them meet.”
The emperor sighed deeply. Wan Ge must be very anxious right now! He only had to make things seem ruthless in front of outsiders, but…
Now that the Crown Prince has made a request, it wouldn't be unreasonable to let them meet: "Alright, Father Emperor agrees. Take her to meet him tomorrow."
At the same time, the emperor also gave him a waist token, which allowed him to enter the prison where General Jian was located.
The prison where General Jian was held held extremely important prisoners. Apart from those who worked there, no one else was allowed to visit them unless they had a token issued by the emperor.
"Thank you, Father." Xuan Yi bowed respectfully once more.
"You don't need to be so polite with me. By the way, are you injured? How is it? Should we call the imperial physician to take a look?"
"I was injured, but Miss Jian has already had someone examine me, and I feel alright now."
"No, no, I can't rest easy. Let Physician Zhang take a look at you."
"Alright." Seeing how nervous his father looked, Xuan Yi agreed.
