Prince Hui's Mansion.
Zhong Minge was helped to get on the sedan chair by Gao Zhiqi. When he came out of the imperial study, Zhong Minge could still hold on, but after going down the thirty-nine steps, he could no longer walk. His legs were as soft as rotten lotus roots and he was about to fall. Gao Zhiqi hurriedly supported him and then helped Zhong Minge sit in the sedan chair. Zhong Minge was in a low mood, and his eyes were very red and swollen. Gao Zhiqi did not dare to ask anything and hurriedly took the sedan chair back to Prince Hui's Mansion.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your steps." When they arrived at the gate of Prince Hui's Mansion, the sedan bearers carefully put down the sedan. Gao Zhiqi hurriedly stepped forward to open the door curtain, and then helped Zhong Ming'e out of the sedan. "Your Highness, please hold my arm..."
But Zhong Minge didn't move at all, just stood there blankly, staring behind Gao Zhiqi without blinking. Gao Zhiqi thought that Zhong Minge was stimulated and was very anxious. When he was about to carry Zhong Minge into the house, an arm blocked his way.
"Xiao Gao, let me do it."
Gao Zhiqi was startled. He turned around suddenly and saw Liao Chongwu standing behind him. He was overjoyed: "Brother Liao, how come you're back so soon? Shouldn't you be here at least the day after tomorrow?"
"I didn't rest on the way, I traveled all night," Liao Chongwu and Gao Zhiqi said, but his eyes were always on Zhong Minge. He pursed his lips, then bowed to Zhong Minge and said, "Your Highness, I greet you and wish you the best."
"You... why did you come just now?" Zhong Minge spoke, his voice was very hoarse. When he said this, his eyes became wet again. The pair of wet eyes looked straight at Liao Chongwu with complaints and grievances.
"Yes, I'm late. Please make your decision, Your Highness." Liao Chongwu's voice was a little hoarse. Ever since the Princess of Hui County gave birth to a strange baby, he has been worried about Zhong Minge. Then he received the news of the sudden death of Concubine Shu, the collapse of the Zou family, and the exile of the Cui family. He was so worried about Zhong Minge. He had not eaten or slept well for several months. He looked more haggard than before. The skin on his face was a little sagging. A man in his early thirties had a little gray at the temples. He had been traveling day and night for the past two days, and he didn't even have the time to stop to drink water. In this way, he entered the city gate before dark and the keys were lowered. Then when he came back, seeing Zhong Minge's appearance, his heart ached.
"Your Highness, we are home. Let me help you in," Liao Chongwu said softly, taking Zhong Ming'e from Gao Zhiqi and holding his hand firmly. He helped him walk towards the gate step by step, while his other hand hugged Zhong Ming'e's shoulders from behind, "Your Highness, please be careful with your steps and go slowly..."
"Okay, all of you can leave now," Gao Zhiqi waved to the bearers, who then hurriedly carried the sedan chair away. Gao Zhiqi looked at the two men in front of him who were relying on and supporting each other, and couldn't help but smile, but then he stopped smiling. His nose felt a little sour, and he wiped his face vigorously, then said to the guards guarding the door, "Your Highness is very tired today and needs to rest well, so no matter who comes, you will not see him, understand?"
"Yes, I obey your command." The guard said hurriedly.
Gao Zhiqi nodded, then turned around and strolled leisurely on the street. It was dark, but even in a prosperous place like the capital, there were still a lot of cars and people, bright neon lights, and a sense of wealth and prosperity mixed with a little leisure. Gao Zhiqi had lived in the capital for nearly twenty years, but he had never had the opportunity to stroll leisurely like this. At this time, he and a group of ordinary people were strolling in the early May night, with the spring breeze blowing on his face, and he felt indescribably comfortable and relaxed all over his body.
